The Nines (, Nainzu) are a special forces unit directly controlled by APE.

They also assume the role of "secret police", operating directly under Papa and carrying out his commands, maintaining order within plantations. They are unbound by any restrictions, including the exempt on Plantation 13: Cerasus.

In reality, they are clones created from Zero Two's cells, although they lack the Klaxosaur blood.

In episode 21, two of the Nines, Delta and Epsilon, are brutally murdered by VIRM beasts.

In episode 22, the nines have started dying off, because of a lack of "maintenance". As of now, only Alpha, Beta, and Gamma have been seen alive, but plan to make their final battle and resting spot in space.

In episode 23, it is revealed that the nines can assume the roles of both pistils and stamens.
