I think at the beginning of the episode, Dr. FranXX is being interrogated after the events of last episode and are saying "We all know it was your fault that we had to do what we had to so you're on trial."

A strange episode to me; back-story? ape masks? what is going on? it looks like the cycle goes on, a desperate society and a death cult for salvation; I hate it if it is really like this.

Let me see Zero Two and Ichigo more; damn it!

Let's recap:

5 episodes after this one to go and BD sales that don't have the makings of a S2. And if a S2 was going to happen, there would have been an announcement by now.

This might end up being the best trainwreck to happen in the last 5 years.

Is Nishigori making the transition to full on Okada now? Give me that Aquarion ending baby!

Dr. Franxx speaking

Fate is cruel. In order to obtain something, one must lose something else. Humanity has searched and sacrificed a lot for what lies beyond life which is our limit. And then we met her, such a beautiful and perfect being.

Episode 19 The Inhuman Ones

運命というのは（？）にして残酷だ。 何かを得るためには、何かを失わなければならない。 人間は生命としての限界を超えたその先にあるものを求め、多くを捨ててきた。 そして出会ってしまったのだ、あの美しくても、完全なるその存在に。

第19話　人ならざるモノたち

Oh the lore flashback episode, this is why the time wasted on the Mitsuru x Kokoro trash was so annoying. Do they have enough episodes for a satisfying conclusion and to wrap up with all the characters ?!?

What If APE send Squad 13 to the Bird's Nest to be executed (or pruned) and have contacted Dr. FranXX to inform him he's no longer needed.

Aeoness said:


They can't. Squad 13 is special, they still don't have a victory guarantee against Klaxosaurs and they don't have much choices. That's why Kokoro and Mitsuru have returned to the crew.

Looks like this episode will be really good. So the APE council were human once after all. And the way they were facing that crowd remind me of a sect.

I think the implication here is clear. Somehow, humanity began to search for a way to create immortality. In the process they created something entirely new, a creature made from outside DNA that could dramatically lengthen its own lifespan. Struck by the prospect of genuine human immortality coming within reach, they went forward and spliced human DNA with the DNA of the creatures that they had created. They created the klaxosaur princess. However, everything went wrong from there; humanity's use of magma-based energy rapidly deteriorated the environment, so the plantations were developed as mobile homes in which the newly immortal humanity would live. However, these were limited things, so the human leadership made reproductive sex taboo in order to preserve space for as many as possible. During this time the Klaxosaur princess, otherwise known as subject 01--the first successful splicing of immortal DNA and human DNA--rebels against her creators. Somehow, either by converting other humans or by another process, the klaxosaur princess raises an army and forces humanity into the plantations.

All this time, Wilhelm Franxx, whose research was responsible for all of this, watches with increasing desperation and despair as he sees what his research has wrought---his own creation run amok in the world. So he decides to break the system that he helped to create.

A number of other notes:

1. That woman with the prototype Pistil suit looks suspiciously similar to 9-alpha.

2. We know the dimensions of the Plantations now, they're stated to be 3km in diameter and a height of 1.2km. The main shaft serves as a magma distribution system with the reservoir held externally and a massive drill intake attached to the bottom of the vehicle.

3.Dr. Franxx's narration suggests that the Klaxosaur princess was either created by humanity or an alien whose DNA was used in experiments to further human immortality.

The message of tomorrows episode: never believe coated people with ape masks...

MomoSinX said:
I believe the Klaxo princess is something natural since the narration seems to suggest that the doctor found her one day, maybe an alien? I am guessing they pissed her off and that's how the whole human vs klaxosaur thing began. Notice how humanity is intact with normal cities and all before meeting the princess.
