This sets off the kids' journey, as they fight klaxosaurs and learn more about love, life, and friendship. Hiro can't resist Zero Two's charms - even though she's rumored to be the "partner killer" - and they pair up much to the rest of the parasites' dismay. Eventually, we learn that Zero Two has klaxosaur blood within her, giving her special powers.
When he fails to connect with his partner Naomi to complete their combat training, he runs off and finds the mysterious Zero Two. The parasites at the center of "Darling in the FRANXX" are a group of 10 boys and girls, with the main character named Hiro. They also have short lifespans and aren't expected to live into adulthood.
The story follows a group of teenagers, called Parasites, who are tasked with piloting mecha suits called Franxx to fight against monsters that attack the few human settlements left on the planet. Those young fighters are called parasites and are typically paired in boy/girl teams to operate the Franxx successfully. The anime Darling in the Franxx is one of the weirder anime to come out of the last decade. In King James’ Bible, the concerning verse or Psalm 22:20 reads, Deliver my soul from the sword my darling from the power of the dog. Set in a dystopian future, the show's plot involves children who are raised for the sole purpose of piloting Franxx, which are giant humanoid robots used to combat biological weapons called klaxosaurs. The title of ‘The Power of the Dog’ is a reference to a verse in Psalm 22 of the Book of Psalms, which is a part of the Christian Old Testament as well as the third section of the Hebrew Bible. Take "Darling in the FRANXX," the mecha anime with equal parts action and romance. On the other hand, when a good show has a less-than-great ending, it can almost ruin the entire experience.

When loose ends come together and plot lines find resolutions, it feels like the often seasons-long investment was worth it. One of the best parts about watching a good anime is the satisfying finale.
