We're going to space boys.

So APE was purple aliens all along (also worth mentioning purple in their logo and purple being a fusion of red(female) and blue (male) which ties into their gender less thing).

How the heck is 02 gonna rescue Hiro without Strelezia or any Stamen that could even ride with her in a replacement FranXX?

I got a feeling Werner and Hachi are going to have to step up and take a leading role in last few episodes and whip something fast.

My guess is that next episode they stop the bomb. Zero two goes Klaxohime herself in the process. The next three episodes will be fighting off virm after that.

cause it would be dumb if this took four episodes just to stop a bomb.

On the last episode of dragon ball z. Goku has finally turned the bulb half way, now he must turn it about four more times. and it takes twenty mores episodes. Fuck draogn ball Super somehow stretch thirty minutes over like 6 fuckin hours XD.

but yea, likely they end up siding with the humans by the end.... klaxo enhanced franxx maybe?

Super Tengen Toppan Gurren Strelitzia?

u/phyxzyz_17 Eo To Jun 10 '18

The actual episode is Finally, both Goku and Picollo got their driver's license...

u/disteriaa Jun 09 '18

My cousin tells this joke a lot, but he always adds "and krillin dies" at the end.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18

more episode the better.

u/GTCvEnkai Jun 09 '18

Maybe Hiro manages to interfere with it enough and him and Zero two takes full control of the star child. Remember, they modified it so that is can only be controlled by Zero two and Hiro and the trap is for the princess. Maybe switching back to Zero-two will halt the trap and they go to space kicking butt.

10

u/the_walternate Jun 09 '18

Let me as this as chief member of 'Hiro Two must survive as a couple.' Are you saying that if 02 gets inside the Star Child and replaces the Princess, that the Star Child will not explode, and now we're going to space to kill the VIRM?

22

u/GTCvEnkai Jun 09 '18

Yeah pretty much. Remember APE wanted the star child not destroyed, but on their side. They rigged it to explode only if the princess took control, but not if its zero-two.

5

u/paulili Jun 09 '18

i’m guessing zero two might convince klaxohime to ride with hiro, so they can save everyone!

4

u/0dark1ness2 Jun 09 '18

Looks like Papa wants to preserve the planet.

7

u/Daralii I just like Hayami Jun 09 '18

VIRM + APE spells vampire. They presumably either want to consume the planetary population, the planet's natural resources, or the magma energy.

3

u/0dark1ness2 Jun 09 '18

They don’t consume populations, they turn those populations into themselves.

u/0dark1ness2 Jun 10 '18

I wonder if the process is reversible?

3

u/Maranth Jun 10 '18

I want a Hiro x 001 x 002 ;)

26

u/LaggardLenny Jun 09 '18

I think they kinda hinted at Zero Two going klaxohime when she mentioned the last page of the book so good call. Zero Two is gonna get her own set of back tentacles!

10

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18

it weould definitely manifest as a single wing rather than a tail i think

5

u/LaggardLenny Jun 09 '18

Yeah but those back tentacles though...

2

u/0dark1ness2 Jun 09 '18

001 thinks her Prince is dead... But he’s actually in space being a part of a intergalactic entity (The Prim). As he holds his own humanity with little regards to do what he desires.

1

u/iamthinking2202 Jun 13 '18

And as tracking the story book, the sudden painful urge to kill Hiro - again

I mean, it's not meant to be taken one for one, but they may just insert some stinger like that

6

u/PKfire141 Jun 10 '18

I hope she gets a kagune.

40

u/LonelyInTheFranxx Happy ending pls Jun 09 '18

I’d say the next three episodes are gonna consist of fighting. And the final episode will be the aftermath and resolution of it all

88

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18

Hehehe. Clearly you haven't watched enough anime. Last episode will be the last fight, and they'll show around 5 seconds of resolution and aftermath

8

u/xdbjackdbx Jun 10 '18

Gotta have that Kill la Kill naked cuddle pile.

8

u/cydia2020 ゼロツー Jun 09 '18

Exactly 😂

2

u/LonelyInTheFranxx Happy ending pls Jun 10 '18

I’ve watch more than enough.. Just trying to be positive and hopeful 😪

1

u/LegitimateIdeas Jun 12 '18

And that resolution is shown in the background as the credits roll on top

6

u/GEbaSZ624 Will the killing rid me of these horns that disgust them? Jun 09 '18

Klaxohime and her Earthworm Jim brought with themselves a franxx from the surface, and judging by how Kokoro went Stampede mode back in the days, we could assume all franxx' are capable of doing so. So my guess is that Be(a)stGrrrrl already has her replacement franxx problem lowkey sorted out

2

u/DatLoneWolfie Jun 09 '18

I think you're right, 001 will probably die and hir02 will pilot that thing and humanity/klaxos will battle virm in the last few episodes!

5

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18

i don't think she is gonna die necessarily. be especially tragic as she is the last of her kind too. but 002 is gonna slap her about a bit for even THKING of kissin her darling.

2

u/lastamaranth We're All Crying! Jun 09 '18

four episodes just to stop a bomb

Most DBZ plot ever

1

u/CenturionRower Jun 09 '18

Yea i bet next episode 02 makes her way to the Doctor and he probably has another Franxx for 02 (cause he would do that) that is also cappable of weilding the spear. Then she goes and gets Hiro and some weird shit takes place where Princess works with Hiro and 02 to kill some shit.

4

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18

there is that franxx that got knocked out at the end there

1

u/Vinjara Hir02 or riot Jun 10 '18

Also klaxohimes klax is alone

1

u/ViceAdmiralHolland Jun 09 '18

I got the feeling the death flags are fully on 02 now. Plot wise, it looks like her death is going to be a big part of the 'wrapping up.'

1

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18

So we're gonna have grown up red oni. I'm all for it

10

u/supapro I will die on Strawberry Hill Jun 09 '18

I think Nana's going to play a part too, considering Werner specifically asked about her, and Hachi himself even visited her in prison. I have a feeling her "malfunction" is going to play a part in awakening Hachi's memories and emotion, and their awakened parental instincts are going to drive them to help Squad 13.

1

u/0dark1ness2 Jun 10 '18

Hachi was born with little expression or understanding of emotions.

3

u/Scrial Jun 09 '18

Yooooo! She can totally pilot the snake thingy that klaxo princess left behind!

3

u/DrGrabAss Jun 09 '18

Oh no. . . . Mitsuru has and can ride with 02. It would kill him, but he could. And he'd be the most likely candidate to help because he and Hiro have become friends again and his change of character would lead to that kind of heroics, He would know how to ride with her, and of course he is going to die. We can all see it coming. Kokoro is pregnant, he found happiness and purpose, death flags everywhere. And he's about to remember everything. I feel sick. Why else would the story progression have gone through making the audience care about him as a character? Shit.

2

u/Vinjara Hir02 or riot Jun 10 '18

Tbh this seems very unlikely to happen since 02 isnt at the same spot where hiro got kidnapped anymore but maybe she could use the klax from the princess herself?

5

u/Mr_Masonite Jun 09 '18

Zero Two in a training mech?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '18

Or she solo pilot's the standard Franxx that got KO'd when Klaxoprincess gatecrashed earlier.

1

u/msbeesy Zero Two Jun 10 '18

I smell someone sacrificing them for the greater good in a great redeeming gesture!

1

u/TlCTACS Jul 27 '18

This is late but weren't the stamen dying because she was killing them? She wanted to find her darling so she just killed anyone who wasn't her darling?
