FRANXX

FRANXX are robot weapons used to fight Klaxosaurs. They features a similarity with their Pistils' hairstyle.

Parasites
Parasites are those who pilot FRANXX. The female is known as the Pistil while the Stamen is the male. This is a direct reference to the male and female reproduction organs of flowers.

Stampede Mode
Stampede mode (スタンピード・モード, Sutanpido Modo) occurs when a pilot loses control of his or her FRANXX. When a FRANXX was controlled by only its Pistil, the FRANXX took on a more beast-like appearance. In the case of Strelizia, it happened if its Stamen died.
