Code:703 / Naomi

Code:703 stands out for her maturity and emotional sensitivity.

When she and Hiro failed their piloting compatibility test, she made a brave choice.

Instead of showing desperation, she urged Hiro to stay behind, prioritizing his safety over her own desires.

This selflessness and strength highlight her considerate nature and quick understanding of her harsh reality.

Code:703, initially Hiro's intended partner, faced setback after their connection experiment failed.

As a result, both were deemed unfit for deployment and told to return to the training facility.

However, when Hiro planned to board the plant ship, she discreetly entrusted her belongings to him.

She encouraged him to stay in the city, while she left alone—an act that would prove fateful.

Tragically, an unexpected klaxosaur attack struck the ship she boarded, resulting in its destruction.

Although she was reported to have survived, she vanished from public records.

It became evident that children who failed were never truly returned, instead disappearing mysteriously.

When Hiro and his friends visited the training facility later, Code:703 was confirmed missing and her fate unknown.

After the defeat of the VIRM, it was revealed Dr. Franxx had secretly safeguarded these lost children, placing them in cold sleep.

Among them was Code:703, preserved all this time.

After the rest of Squad 13, except for Hiro and Zero Two, returned from Mars, Code:703 and the other revived children were finally released.

A poignant detail emerged—she had lost her right arm due to injuries from the plant ship incident.

Despite this hardship, she was seen supporting Ikuno in her research, becoming her dedicated assistant and companion in the epilogue.

Her relationship with Hiro was marked by mutual respect and unspoken affection.

She accepted her perceived fate with dignity, choosing not to burden Hiro with her worries.

After her return, she found camaraderie with the surviving children, rekindling bonds that had been severed by tragedy.

Her most notable partnership was with Ikuno, whom she supported wholeheartedly through Ikuno’s scientific pursuits.

Code:703’s story is a testament to quiet resilience, sacrifice, and the strength it takes to support others from the shadows.

Her presence, although mostly in the background, shaped the paths of several key characters.

Her survival and ultimate return brought closure and hope to her friends, symbolizing recovery after great loss.

In the epilogue, she is usually seen by Ikuno’s side, contributing as an assistant researcher.

Her right arm is missing as a result of the attack on the plant ship.

Her decision to part ways with Hiro at a crucial moment deeply affected the course of his life and the overall story.

Although she was “erased” from the official records, her role in supporting others and her long-awaited reunion left a lasting impression.
