Now, I wonder how long until the “Darling-kun” jokes begin?
Earlier today, the official DARLING in the FRANXX anime’s Twitter account updated with a new promotional teaser. The trailer introduces the fifth (and final) pair of protagonists, along with their Franxx.
The two characters are named Code:196 (“Ikuno”) and Code:326 (“Mitsuru”), while their Franxx is called Chlorophytum. The trailer teases that new details will be released next week.
