* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The act of piloting a Franxx is a pretty clear parallel to sex, what with the positions of the pilots, and Hiro's inability to pilot one in most situations is treated as if he has a case of TheLoinsSleepTonight, complete with him attempting to motivate himself to pilot by kissing his copilot. Another character even explicitly tells him to "Get it up!" at one point.

We don’t use spoiler tags for plot twists that happen right at the stat of the series, as that would lead to a mostly white page as every trope added later that mentions the first plot twist would have to be put into spoiler tags as well. If something that happens in episode 1 is that much of a game-changer, then we have a First Episode Spoiler.

The story is set in the distant future. The world is ruined, and humanity establishes the mobile fort city Plantation. Pilots produced inside Plantation live in Mistilteinn, also know as the "birdcage." Children living there know nothing of the outside world or the freedom of the sky. Their lives consist of battling to carry out missions. Their enemies are mysterious giant lifeforms known as Kyoryu, and the children pilot machines called Franxx to face off against them. For the children, riding the Franxx proves their existence.

Their lives consist of battling to carry out missions. Their enemies are mysterious giant lifeforms known as Kyoryu, and the children pilot machines called Franxx to face off against them. For the children, riding the Franxx proves their existence.

A boy named Hiro is called Code:016, and he was once known as a prodigy. However, he has fallen behind, and his existence seems unnecessary. Not piloting a Franxx is the same as ceasing to exist. One day, a mysterious girl with horns on her head known as "Zero Two" appears before him.
