Darling in the Franxx is a 2018 mecha anime where Zero Two, also known as Code 002, calls her partner Hiro, Code 016, her darling. That nickname became one of her most quoted traits as clips from the series spread through anime edits, reaction videos and soundboards. This stretched scream version exaggerates the nickname into a standalone joke, sitting alongside clips like the anime ahh and other short anime voice memes. It remains popular because fans recognise the character instantly, even without seeing the original scene or knowing the episode.
