* Episode 12 is one long and painful look at Zero Two slowly becoming more bestial in her desire to kill and taking out her rage on mirrors or anything that shows her being less human than she wants to be. By the end, a manifestation of her desire to be human ends up strangling Hiro in the cockpit as he struggles to keep her from going berserk.

** The same bedside scene also has Nana commenting on a "children's sickness" having a surprisingly early onset. Combined with an earlier DarkSecret about why Parasites never reach adulthood and children being biohazards, and the implication is Parasites are intentionally infected with an expiration date.

* Episode 11 reveals that there's a ''pruning'' for pilots who can't keep up with the program when Mitsuru suffered a severe medical problem in the middle of a battle.
** And for some pilots there's a surgery they can undergo to improve their piloting abilities. The catch is that it has an ''85%'' mortality rate and Mitsuru was younger than 10 when he underwent it.

* Episode 10 provides a insight of the lives for the adults which resides within the city of the plantation. Sufficient to say, humanity has been stripped clean of almost everything that made life worth living for, such as company, dreams, companionship, sensations, genuine joy and the purpose of life itself.

** The beginning of the manga itself explains that the barren wasteland of the planet is not the handiwork of Klaxosaurs but rather the humans themselves who got too greedy extracting Magma Energy from the planet, letting everyone know what could have happened for real.

* The reason the kids are being made to pilot so soon? The previous squad was ''wiped out'' entirely. And it almost happens to them in the third episode when a HordeOfAlienLocusts gets ready to devour them since the robots they're piloting use the same fuel as the klaxosaurs favorite meal, making them also serve as bait.

* Zero Two has her moment in Episode 3. After allowing Mitsuru to pilot her, she held back enough to where he could maintain the connection enough to grow cocky. Then, when there was only one enemy left and he tried to proposition her to be her official partner over Hiro, she ignored orders to retreat specifically to go all out just to spite him. The look on Strelizia's blood-splattered face says it all.
