• The Franxx pilots' names are all designated after Japanese words for numbers: * Hiro is designated 16 ("hi"-"ro", 1-6) * Ichigo is designated 15 ("ichi"-"go", 1-5) * Goro is designated 56 ("go"-"ro", 5-6) * Miku is designated 39 ("mi"-"ku", 3-9) * Kokoro is designated 556 ("ko"-"ko"-"ro", 5-5-6) * Futoshi is designated 214 ("fu"-"to"-"shi", 2-10-4) * Mitsuru is designated 326 ("mi"-"tsu"-"ru", 3-2-6) * Naomi is designated 703 ("na"-"O"-"mi", 7-0-3) * Ikuno is designated 196 ("i"-"ku"-"no", 1-9-6 - it's actually a Japanese pun as "ku" is turned around to read "no", just as 9 is turned around to read 6). Zorome, who is designated 666, stands out as his name is Japanese for "repdigit", a number that is the same (11, 22, 33 etc).

• The Franxx mecha (Strelitzia, Delphinium, Argentea, Genista, Chlorophytum) are all named after wild flowers.

• Creator Atsushi Nishigori also worked as the lead character designer for the series Gurren Lagann
