Oh I forgot to mention. Re: "Why are these kids called parasites?"

While I of course can only assume, since most people seem to be in agreement that everything in this show is symbolic for something, the simplest explanation as to why they are named such is because they're children.

Doesn't seem to make much sense given how they're also the military. As opposed to our kind of children, these are certainly doing their part to earn their share of food and shelter .

Well yes and no. And old saying is that "a baby is expensive" it takes a heck of a lot simply to get a single human child to the point that they are even able to possibly survive independently.

If you really think about it, most of these children might not even get to the point where they are piloting Franxx. Remember back a few episodes ago and they talked about all the children in the Garden? None of them are soldier/pilots. And all that care does go into raising them regardless. For every single one of these kids, they have had the best of everything, the best food, the best training, the best environment, the best education, everything laid out for them for at least 13-16 years before they actually become pilots. That's a lot of time and resources. More so than most militaries would ever give.

And what about all those who didn't make the cut, they can't pay back all those resources and time that was sunk into them. So, while it does seem a bit cold, I can see where he's getting at in regards to them being called parasites because they're children.

However, I also have the feeling that the series does have another meaning in mind in this case.

Well, there's that. And also unborn children are parasites in the literal sense.

Well, this society is cold to them, so that would be believable. But I'm on the "different meaning" camp too IMHO, I'd be surprised if it doesn't somehow tie in with the plant motif.

What if they don't call the children themselves parasites but what's inside them? Basically the children are just vessels for the "parasites", probably something Klaxosaurus-related that makes it possible to ride the Franxxx mechas to begin with, but since those parasites are intertwined with the children forever, the children get called parasites as well to make sure nobody forgets about dangerous those children actually are. Which also might be the reason why the children aren't allowed to enter the city though I doubt it is something that can be transferred over.

In this world, parasites = official pilots. Hiro is not currently an official parasite.

I think they're "parasites" because the robots are alive somehow. They're the hosts.

There was that fanart that presented Strelizia as Tauburn's little sister... which, come to think of it, is no bar to shipping.

I think she's just much more fatalistic than Ichigo. Ichigo still thinks there's something she, or 02, can do to save Hiro. 02 thinks (knows?) he can either pilot and probably die, or not pilot and almost certainly die.

because the girls are neuro-linking with the Mech during the connection process between Stamen and Pistil. In other words, the Pistil girl becomes one with the franxx.

Well, both Ichigo and Gorou have the right to get worried about Hiro's safety, since they're his friends. But they also need to realize that is selfish for them to want to him to live the rest of his life in shame, being treated like an outcast for not being able to do the only thing that makes those children worthy. None of them experienced what he felt when he lost everything, his position as leader and as prodigy, the respect of his friends, his dream of being able to pilot the FranXX. Hiro was feeling miserable and 02 was the only person who gave him the chance to go back to be what he was before, to realize his dream. He decided that was better die happy while realizing his dream than to live while feeling helpless. That's why he never once blamed 02 for what is happening to him. She gave him the chance but he was the one who made the decision.

I found some information in another forum.



- Strelizia’s beast mode is activated when 02 devours the Stamen (when stamen is nearly dying).

- When the Pistil is piloting the franxx alone, the robot interface isn’t actived and the pistil’s body works normally.

- Hiro was really piloting Strelizia in episode 1, and He fainted getting unconscious after Strelizia gave the finishing blow, once the robot interface is active and 02 speaks via the robot interface confirming that the connection between Stamen and Pistil was active.

It must also be stressed that there is no physical contact or exchange of body fluids during the entire connection process between Stamen and Pistil, and the whole connection process between Stamen and Pistil is made mentally with stamen connecting to the Pistil's mind with the butt controls, It is also important to remember that the Pistil's body remains on stand-by and immovable during the whole connection between them, which is why Pistil communicates with Stamen via the robot interface in the monitor, evenif she right there in front of you.

Episode 2 (when they initialize and do the training/test) would suggest otherwise.

What we saw in ep1 is referred to as スタンピード・モード (stampede mode) which is explained as such:
Quote:
フランクスが操縦者の制御を離れ、形状が変形、暴走状態となった場合を指す。
Translation: Refers to the situation where the FranXX breaks away from the control of the pilot, its shape deforms and it goes on a rampage.

Source: http://darli-fra.jp/keyword/

I don't think this is particular to 02 and could happen with any FranXX - we might see it in the next ep with others, for example.

Yes, I read that too, what happens when stamen is nearly dying. That is why ''parents'' were more or less aware of what was happening.

Yes, Probably when one of the Stamens involved are nearly dying.

That panty-and-stocking art style works a little too well.

Btw I hear that the Chinese DiTF fans went apeshit after the ban and start reporting everything in hoping that they also get banned (Citrus, Overlord, and etc...). Thankfully they aren't successful, but the butthurt is real. The reporter who reported DiTF to the authority has his/her information posted all over the Chinese internet.

It was mentioned here a few posts ago.
It seems their priorities, when it comes to banhammers, are all over the place...as usual...

That was during a day or two after the announcement, I think now the threads and the posts on weibo got deleted.

They are flying over to Hong Kong just to see their beloved wife (02) now, so yeah, you can just imagine the initial outburst to the announcement.
