In a distant era, humanity teeters on the brink of annihilation due to colossal creatures known as Klaxosaurs, compelling the surviving populace to seek sanctuary within colossal fortress cities named Plantations. Here, youngsters are groomed to command immense mechas dubbed FranXX, the only known countermeasure against the Klaxosaurs, operating in male-female pairs. Bred solely for this purpose, these youths are ignorant of the world beyond their confines, finding purpose solely in defending their species.
Hiro, harboring aspirations of becoming a FranXX pilot, finds himself disillusioned and lacking in self-assurance following an unsuccessful aptitude assessment. Shunning his class' graduation ceremony, Hiro withdraws to a serene forest lake, where he encounters an enigmatic girl sporting two horns protruding from her head. Identifying herself by the moniker Zero Two, associated with a notorious FranXX pilot dubbed the "Partner Killer," she crosses paths with Hiro. Before Hiro can process this peculiar encounter, the tranquility is shattered by a sudden Klaxosaur assault on the Plantation. Zero Two leaps into action with her FranXX, but the skirmish leaves her mecha heavily damaged, crashing near Hiro's location. Discovering her partner lifeless, Zero Two implores Hiro to join her in piloting the mecha, and together they effortlessly vanquish the Klaxosaur in the ensuing battle. With a newfound ally at his side, Hiro finds himself presented with an opportunity for redemption from his past setbacks, yet the path ahead is fraught with uncertainties and potential sacrifices.
