A mysterious ringing sound has suddenly knocked scores of people out across Tokyo, while blanketing the city in a red mist that has cut it off from the rest of Japan. Chihiro is one of the victims, and the last to awaken after five months.
Zero Two and Hiro face VIRM in a final showdown, while back on Earth the remaining Parasites begin to rebuild human society.
A group of ragtag rebels and outlaws are shipped off by the Japanese government to the isle of Tsushima, where they discover it’s first in line for an imminent invasion from the Mongol Empire.
As Evolt prepares a new scheme to conquer Earth, Sentou discovers just how deeply his own father is involved in the legacy of the Rider System.
Some time after the previous episode, the Parasites struggle to survive on a newly adult-less(?) Earth. That is until Hiro discovers where Zero Two has gone and the crew head off into SPACE.
With Hiro and the Klaxosaur Princess incapacitated, it’s up to Zero Two and Dr FRANXX to break through and rescue them and, by proxy, the entire planet.
The Parasites gear up for the final battle against the Klaxosaurs, as Hiro and Zero Two attempt to activate a mysterious superweapon.
Determined to defeat Evolt and Utsumi once and for all, Katsuragi goes about constructing Build’s ultimate power-up.
Phew, I’ve been gone a while huh? I really hope that nothing too major happened while I was awa….oh. Well, I guess we’ve got a lot to talk about huh?
We step back in time…not that far actually, to see the origins of the mysterious Doctor Franxx, while in the present the Parasites complain a lot but don’t actually do anything.
Hiro decides Mitsuru and Kokoro should get married…for some reason, prompting a shocking but welcome instance of police brutality.
The Nines return to pay Squad 13 a visit and bring their RADICAL MARXIST SJW agenda with them. Also this week, Zigg returns to the blog and immediately wishes he hadn’t.
Squad 13 team up with a bunch of other FRANXX units, including the enigmatic Nines, for an assault on the ‘Gran Crevasse’
Sentou, Banjou and Kasumi fight their way deeper into Pandora’s tower, while Sawa and Misora uncover some shocking truths about Banjou’s past.
Hiro remembers his first encounter with Zero Two in their early childhood, while back in the present her violent assault on him causes the rest of the squad to reject her.
Hisone Amakasu is a somewhat flustered rookie in the Japanese Air Self-Defence Force, who accidentally stumbles upon a dragon hidden on her base.
Sentou has the government declare him an outlaw so he can take the fight to Seito directly. Also Misora is an alien now! So is Banjou!! And maybe Soichi too??? Who even knows anymore!
Ren Amamiya is a juvenile offender who was unjustly expelled from school and arrested after interfering in an attempted assault. Now transferred to urban Tokyo, he’s got a year to keep his head down and stay out of trouble.
In the future, the law of conservation of energy has been broken, and that means that somehow there are dragons now? In any case, the dragons are being hunted down by magical physicists (???) known as Jushikiists.
