}}'''Zero Two''' is the main heroine of Trigger and CloverWorks' anime original series '''''Darling in the Franxx'''''.
  
  +
'''Zero Two''' is the main heroine of Trigger and CloverWorks' anime original series '''''Darling in the Franxx'''''. She is a human-''klaxosaur'' hybrid who is notorious as the "Partner Killer" because many males who have co-piloted with her do not survive more than three missions. Zero Two takes interest in the protagonist [[Hiro (DitF)|Hiro]] and calls him her "Darling". Her birthday is on July 2nd.
   
  +
Upon the anime's release, Zero Two quickly became a sensation in anime communities around the world because of her attractive design and assertive personality, garnering a loyal fanbase which has enabled her to win several [[saimoe|"Waifu Tournaments"]], mostly organized by various anime groups on [[Facebook]]. Those wins have grown enough to induct Zero Two as a member of the [[Ten Kings Club]]. However, the pink-haired pilot has also gained a reputation for being an "overrated waifu" in several notable contests like in [[Anime (Reddit)|/r/anime]] and [[ISML]], making her prone to being voted out in the middle rounds of these tournaments.

Zero Two is a regular competitor in the [[International Saimoe League]], and first appeared in the [[ISML 2018/Seasonal & Exhibition#Winter|winter 2018]] seasonal contest where she notably lost to romantic rival [[Ichigo (DitF)|Ichigo]] in the semi-finals. She then made her Main Tournament debut in [[ISML 2019|2019]], surviving until the Emerald period (fifth group stage). In [[ISML 2020|2020]] she was eliminated in the second split - a 16-player single round-robin format - placing dead last in her group with only [[Sora Kasugano|one win]] to her name.
   
  +
Zero Two's appearance in '''[[ISML 2021]]''' saw the emergence of a ''DitF'' fanbase who became very active in their campaigning efforts at the start of the tournament, with a sizable number of registered users making their presence known in the ISML forums. This was largely brought about by the anime's popularity in the Chinese app Douyin (known internationally as TikTok); several ISML-related videos campaigning for Zero Two and [[Hiro (DitF)|Hiro]] were also uploaded to the video-sharing site bilibili. As a result, the ''Franxx'' main couple topped their respective nomination lists by a large margin, with deuteragonists [[Ichigo (DitF)|Ichigo]] and [[Goro (DitF)|Goro]] also joining the duo in the Main Tournament.
   
  +
Despite having one of the highest pot seeds and expectations of making it deep into the tournament, the Zero Two campaign wasn't consistent enough to carry her through. In Split 1, she faced two ''Raildex'' characters - one of the most active voting factions in ISML - winning against [[Index]] but losing to [[Kuroko Shirai]]. She was then placed in the Aquamarine [[exhibition gem]] round and initially led the match, but eventually conceded to [[Chika Fujiwara]] from ''Kaguya-sama'', also one of the strongest fan bases at the time. By the time Split 2 arrived, her fanbase had almost disappeared, resulting in three of ''Franxx's'' characters getting directly eliminated. Zero Two hung on with an 11th place in her group, but eventually went out as well after placing last in the second wildcard round.

===Contest profile===
  
−
During the anime's original airtime, Zero Two gained a large online following because of her distinct design, strong personality, and dedication to Hiro. Even after the anime's rating dipped in the later episodes, the klaxosaur remains one of the show's highlights.

Zero Two was the darling (pun intended) of the [[r/anime]] subreddit in 2018, having won the site's [[Seasonal Salt 2018#Winter|winter seasonal]] after thrashing rivals [[Violet Evergarden|Violet]] and [[Ichigo (DitF)|Ichigo]]. She then came second in the yearly contest after the subreddit found another more popular darling in the form of [[Mai Sakurajima]].

In the subreddit's major character brackets, Zero Two (and the ''DitF'' fandom by extension) developed an infamous reputation for '''brigading the contest to other subreddits''', causing much discussion and violent reactions in the r/anime contest threads. Her most famous match happened in [[Best Girl 6]] where she fought [[Asuna Yuuki]], another Tomatsu-voiced character, in the round of 32. The links to the contest's particular day was cross-posted to Zero Two's home subreddits r/DarlingintheFranxx and r/ZeroTwo. Most importantly, a campaigning thread managed to get a high amount of upvotes on r/Animemes, a subreddit where the pink-haired girl has a notable presence in.<sup>[citation needed]</sup> Despite those efforts, Zero Two ultimately lost by a slim 32 votes, and the large influx of voters affected other matches of their bracket as well, resulting in Asuna securing an easy path to the championship afterwards.
 
   
  +
They call her a partner killer. They call her a monster. But Zero Two does not care.
−
Another instance of brigading happened in [[Best Character 5]] where Zero Two won against [[Best Character 4|last year's]] quarterfinalist [[Homura Akemi]] in round 3. Following the tournament host's policy of disallowing brigades, the matchday was re-done, and the klaxosaur was eliminated in the rematch.
  
   
  +
Zero Two is an independent woman. No longer will she bind herself to the chains of authority. She will do what she wants, where she wants, whenever she wants to. The can ask her nicely or point their guns at her, but she will not flinch. She knows she is the second strongest fighter they have; they know she is the second strongest fighter they have. Making her angry will only hinder their long-term survival, so she will continue to rebel against her superiors.
−
Since then, Zero Two's performances have been characterized by high seeds but relatively early exits, i.e. an "overrated waifu". Common criticisms include the aformentioned brigading of her fans, and the anime's poor reputation towards the end of the series.
 
   
  +
Zero Two is a curious individual. Life is to short to dedicate one's entire fate to battle. There are many things in this world that she does not know about. She wants to know the composition of boys and girls and why they look and smell so different. She enjoys mixing as many sweet condiments to her meals to test if they make her meals even more delicious. She is fond of all the weird games people play on themselves or each other, why they laugh and harm each other, why they laugh at each other one moment and cry for one another the next, why even after the harshest of words were spoken, they were willing to forgive and forget.
   
  +
Zero Two is human. She wants to be human. She needs to be human. These horns on her head. Humans do not have horns in their heads. She needs to get rid of them, shrink them, slice them off if she has to. Her skin is not human. She needs new pigment. She must find a way to match their skin color. Her eyes are not human. Her mouth is not human. Her blood is abnormal. She has to look like them. She needs to be with them. She longs to interact with them. Why is she not like them? Why is she so different from them? It is too lonely to not be with them.
−
===='''in ISML'''====
  
−
Zero Two is a regular but mediocre competitor in the [[International Saimoe League]]. In the [[ISML 2018/Seasonal & Exhibition#Winter|winter 2018]] seasonal contest, she lost to romantic rival [[Ichigo (DitF)|Ichigo]] in the semi-finals, and settled for third after defeating [[Takagi]]. The following year, Zero Two made a modest debut in [[ISML 2019|2019]], surviving until the Emerald period (fifth group stage). In [[ISML 2020|2020]] she finished dead last in the second group stage, a 16-player single round-robin.
 
   
  +
Perhaps the most difficult battle is not against the monsters that she must face, but the ability to accept herself for who she is.
−
The [[ISML 2021|2021]] edition saw the Chinese ''DitF'' fanbase's campaign take effect as Zero Two and [[Hiro (DitF)|Hiro]] topped their respective nomination lists by a large margin.

[[File:seasonal 2018 winter winner.png|[[Seasonal Salt 2018#Winter|Best Girl of Winter 2018]] - '''Champion'''|thumb|right|200px]]
  +
Zero Two was the darling (pun intended) of the [[r/anime]] subreddit in early 2018, which led to her victory in the site's [[Seasonal Salt 2018#Winter|winter seasonal]] after thrashing rivals [[Violet Evergarden|Violet]] and [[Ichigo (DitF)|Ichigo]]. She then came second in the yearly contest after the subreddit found another more popular darling in the form of [[Mai Sakurajima]].
  +
  +
In the subreddit's major character brackets, Zero Two (and the ''DitF'' fandom by extension) developed an infamous reputation for brigading the contest to other subreddits, causing much discussion and violent reactions in the r/anime contest threads. Her most famous match happened in [[Best Girl 6]] where she fought [[Asuna Yuuki]], another Tomatsu-voiced character, in the round of 32. The links to the contest's particular day was cross-posted to Zero Two's home subreddits r/DarlingintheFranxx and r/ZeroTwo. Most importantly, a campaigning thread managed to get a high amount of upvotes on r/Animemes, a subreddit where the pink-haired girl has a notable presence in.<sup>[citation needed]</sup> Despite those efforts, Zero Two ultimately lost by a slim 32 votes, and the large influx of voters affected other matches of their bracket as well, resulting in Asuna securing an easy path to the championship afterwards.
  +
  +
Another instance of brigading happened in [[Best Character 5]] where Zero Two won against [[Best Character 4|last edition's]] quarterfinalist [[Homura Akemi]] in round 3. Following the tournament host's policy of disallowing brigades, her bracket's round was replayed for another day, with the klaxosaur bowing out in the ensuing rematch.

Latest revision as of 06:50, 21 August 2022

Zero Two is the main heroine of Trigger and CloverWorks' anime original series Darling in the Franxx. She is a human-klaxosaur hybrid who is notorious as the "Partner Killer" because many males who have co-piloted with her do not survive more than three missions. Zero Two takes interest in the protagonist Hiro and calls him her "Darling". Her birthday is on July 2nd.

Upon the anime's release, Zero Two quickly became a sensation in anime communities around the world because of her attractive design and assertive personality, garnering a loyal fanbase which has enabled her to win several "Waifu Tournaments", mostly organized by various anime groups on Facebook. Those wins have grown enough to induct Zero Two as a member of the Ten Kings Club. However, the pink-haired pilot has also gained a reputation for being an "overrated waifu" in several notable contests like in /r/anime and ISML, making her prone to being voted out in the middle rounds of these tournaments.

ISML[]

Zero Two is a regular competitor in the International Saimoe League, and first appeared in the winter 2018 seasonal contest where she notably lost to romantic rival Ichigo in the semi-finals. She then made her Main Tournament debut in 2019, surviving until the Emerald period (fifth group stage). In 2020 she was eliminated in the second split - a 16-player single round-robin format - placing dead last in her group with only one win to her name.

Zero Two's appearance in ISML 2021 saw the emergence of a DitF fanbase who became very active in their campaigning efforts at the start of the tournament, with a sizable number of registered users making their presence known in the ISML forums. This was largely brought about by the anime's popularity in the Chinese app Douyin (known internationally as TikTok); several ISML-related videos campaigning for Zero Two and Hiro were also uploaded to the video-sharing site bilibili. As a result, the Franxx main couple topped their respective nomination lists by a large margin, with deuteragonists Ichigo and Goro also joining the duo in the Main Tournament.

Despite having one of the highest pot seeds and expectations of making it deep into the tournament, the Zero Two campaign wasn't consistent enough to carry her through. In Split 1, she faced two Raildex characters - one of the most active voting factions in ISML - winning against Index but losing to Kuroko Shirai. She was then placed in the Aquamarine exhibition gem round and initially led the match, but eventually conceded to Chika Fujiwara from Kaguya-sama, also one of the strongest fan bases at the time. By the time Split 2 arrived, her fanbase had almost disappeared, resulting in three of Franxx's characters getting directly eliminated. Zero Two hung on with an 11th place in her group, but eventually went out as well after placing last in the second wildcard round.


Profile[]

ISML Profile Flavor Text
(written by Momento10)


They call her a partner killer. They call her a monster. But Zero Two does not care.

Zero Two is an independent woman. No longer will she bind herself to the chains of authority. She will do what she wants, where she wants, whenever she wants to. The can ask her nicely or point their guns at her, but she will not flinch. She knows she is the second strongest fighter they have; they know she is the second strongest fighter they have. Making her angry will only hinder their long-term survival, so she will continue to rebel against her superiors.

Zero Two is a curious individual. Life is to short to dedicate one's entire fate to battle. There are many things in this world that she does not know about. She wants to know the composition of boys and girls and why they look and smell so different. She enjoys mixing as many sweet condiments to her meals to test if they make her meals even more delicious. She is fond of all the weird games people play on themselves or each other, why they laugh and harm each other, why they laugh at each other one moment and cry for one another the next, why even after the harshest of words were spoken, they were willing to forgive and forget.

Zero Two is human. She wants to be human. She needs to be human. These horns on her head. Humans do not have horns in their heads. She needs to get rid of them, shrink them, slice them off if she has to. Her skin is not human. She needs new pigment. She must find a way to match their skin color. Her eyes are not human. Her mouth is not human. Her blood is abnormal. She has to look like them. She needs to be with them. She longs to interact with them. Why is she not like them? Why is she so different from them? It is too lonely to not be with them.

Perhaps the most difficult battle is not against the monsters that she must face, but the ability to accept herself for who she is.

Seasonal 2018 winter winner

Best Girl of Winter 2018 - Champion

Zero Two was the darling (pun intended) of the r/anime subreddit in early 2018, which led to her victory in the site's winter seasonal after thrashing rivals Violet and Ichigo. She then came second in the yearly contest after the subreddit found another more popular darling in the form of Mai Sakurajima.

In the subreddit's major character brackets, Zero Two (and the DitF fandom by extension) developed an infamous reputation for brigading the contest to other subreddits, causing much discussion and violent reactions in the r/anime contest threads. Her most famous match happened in Best Girl 6 where she fought Asuna Yuuki, another Tomatsu-voiced character, in the round of 32. The links to the contest's particular day was cross-posted to Zero Two's home subreddits r/DarlingintheFranxx and r/ZeroTwo. Most importantly, a campaigning thread managed to get a high amount of upvotes on r/Animemes, a subreddit where the pink-haired girl has a notable presence in.[citation needed] Despite those efforts, Zero Two ultimately lost by a slim 32 votes, and the large influx of voters affected other matches of their bracket as well, resulting in Asuna securing an easy path to the championship afterwards.

Another instance of brigading happened in Best Character 5 where Zero Two won against last edition's quarterfinalist Homura Akemi in round 3. Following the tournament host's policy of disallowing brigades, her bracket's round was replayed for another day, with the klaxosaur bowing out in the ensuing rematch.
