Finally, chapter 60 and final of the anime manga adaptation was released Darling in the Franxx, which shows a very different ending to what was seen in the anime.

The new ending of Darling in the Franxx where Hiro and Zero Two don’t die
The final chapter begins with the revelation of Vir and secret plan to use Star Entity as a tool to exploit the planet and lead humanity to a new evolution.

That person was Hiro I had decided to help her, but Zero Two Regain consciousness completely and start yelling “I’m scared, don’t you… hate me!” because he feels too bad about using A Hiro.

At the end of the chapter we are shown a scene in which Hiro promises to Zero Two That they will always be together and both end up kissing.
Zero Two and Hiro survive?

It could be said that the manga Darling in the Franxx It concludes with what was seen in episode 21 of the anime, only with a different ending in which Hiro and Zero Two They survive to appreciate how they have liberated the planet from the threat of Vrim, omitting the journey into space for a final fight.
Originally the manga Darling in the Franxx It was going to have more chapters, but it ended up shortening the total number of chapters, so there is the possibility that the true ending created for the manga will never see it and the ending seen in chapter 60 will be an improvised ending.
