| While I like the content of this episode, the further development of Goro's and Ichigo's relationship, and the direction it takes is understandable, I dislike how another meaningless fight is forced into the scenario because the way the characters act in the first confrontation as well as the resolution to rescue Goro is so unrealistically simple and stupid. And let's not even talk about the underwhelming short fight itself. I think the episode would have benefit of a different scenario that fits the emotional content better. |
| Ichigo just partner zoned him, smh. |
| I feel REALLY BAD for Goro... For people that don't know what's going on this episode is your typical "Fake out" episode where you absolutely think that a character is going to die, but instead he makes it out OK and everything seems good at the end. HOWEVER...Said character usually ends up dying eventually once the audience has a false sense of security since he already survived. The death flag for Goro couldn't be much higher than it is right now. And the worst part is that his love is clearly one-sided....Ichigo loves Hiro, there is no doubt. More than likely he survived to make the love Triangle (square) a bigger focus. @People_who_dislike_the_drama I think it's obvious by now that this show wants to focus heavily on the characters relationships and less on the plot...sorry, but that's how these things are. Waifu wars are very serious business. |

| Could not this episode increase the probability that the red monster in the first episode will be 002 in the past, and not in the future? She has the same bracelet on her leg that Hiro had on his neck when he was younger. |
| So does Ichigo love Goro or Hiro now? It looks like she's jumping to Goro suddenly. Goro stuck in the klaxosaur was like Shinji stuck inside Leliel. Yet another Evangelion spoof. |

DarkAudit said: No one's mentioning the desperate act of self-preservation by Zorome? He wanted no part of that argument. Yeah, that was hilarious. Miku is that typical sweet girl who can absolutely lose her shit instantly lol, no wonder Zorome is being careful XD. If they ever smash Zorome will be destroyed in bed. |
| First disappointing episode yet. It's just yet another generic love triangle, and a rip-off of EVA's Shinji trapped inside the angel episode. |
| This is really shaping up to becoming a love triangle between Goro, Hiro and Ichigo, but since Zero Two is all over Hiro right now, the I guess it could become a love square or rectangle. Either way, the episode did show how Goro developed feelings for Ichigo back when they were kids after she helped him beat up some bullies. It was also refreshing to see Goro confess his feelings to Ichigo after they defeated the Klaxosaur, which made me happy. Although he doesn't expect an answer soon, I'm still happy that he confessed without any hesitation whatsoever, so good on him. =) If there's one thing I do want to see at some point is the background story on the Klaxosaurs and how they'd become what they are now. Along with the continuing progress of the parasite's relationships, I think that would make more upcoming episodes even more enjoyable. |
| Each episode makes me like Ichigo even more! She's totally gf material <3 I found Goro's retrieval too plot armor-ish. But the episode itself was still very enjoyable. I wonder what angle the show will try out in the future, I mean will Ichigo still remain in love with Hiro or will she start liking Goro after his confession? TFW Goro gets more character development than Hiro |
| Is Zero Two literally autistic? This isn’t an insult it’s a legitimate question. If she was on the autism spectrum it could Bebop pretty interesting. |
 |
| So far the series is still a 2/10 for me. Started off great but its turning into another Kiznaiver now. There's still some potential though, so hopefully it stops being garbage soon. |
| This show is so disappointing, lol. |
| 002 knows already... If she broke her mirror for this reason, it will be a waste of time... |
| Really hope they rebel against adults eventually. This is just painful to watch. |
| expecting something like kill la kill....but turning more like sword art online |
| Thank God this love triangle crap is done with, at least I hope so. |
 |
| Goro is totally an absolute bro. Such a self-sacrificing guy. |
 |
| I think that both of them are kinda sweet together. I really enjoyed the story right there. I liked it |
 |
| Goro made me like him a lot more this episode however I hope Itchigo does not fall for him and is just salty over Hiro and 02. IT's more entertaining that way lol. Still a good episode they built the drama well although they should kill someone off soon. |

I was kinda hoping for a death today, but I guess this isn't the sort of show where they killmoff characters. In general, the episodes become slightly repetitious and feels like they're just get sortied to fight the evergrowing klaxosaurs -honestly they just get bigger; it now seems more like a game. This was the highlight for me though,! You know she gonn' start droppin' those statistics... He's is wise to run away |
 |
| Goro and ichigo ftw. I liked that quick smile she had when she was rescuing Goro. 0-2 getting a present from Hiro was cute. "it made me very happy." DAWWWW |

Waifu wars are very serious business. Ill agree the death flag is still there. However I do not think the love is one-sided. I mean yeah her feelings towards Hiro are above her feelings towards Goro, but I think her feelings for Goro are pretty solid as well. Given that she would go into a Kalauxosaur with little knowledge about how dangerous the insides of it are. |

Arcaedes said: samee tell em b goro my fav male char so far hiro hasnt been cutting it always gotta love more development between chars in the end it really pays off Fappa said: You should know by now that the PVs are never a good indicator on what the main premise of the Episode will be. We have played this game for 9 weeks now. This one got me, along with the title. I was expecting something bad for either Ichigo or Goro (more so Goro) but we did at least have focus on them as shown in the preview, and tbh that's a good thing. I like the Zero/Hiro dynamic, but if the focus was always on them it wouldn't be as enjoyable due to oversaturation. Over the past few episodes Ichigo's had almost equal protagonist levels of focus and adding Goro drama makes it more than just a triangle with her on the lesser side. It feels like we have three protags now, rather than two plus generic childhood friend. I hope they continue to develop the whole of the squad 13 group, the set up work has been done for all of them, so no reason for it not to happen. Another good development overall, for those who prefer characters and drama along with their action |
| Not what I was expecting but I will wait until the show is over to make a final judgement. I'm liking it so far but the fight was pretty lame. And we don't expect lame fights from the staff responsible for this show right? |
 |
| Sometimes I don't get Zero Two, she was saying something like 'we will, along with the plant, go boom', then she said 'exhaust hole'. So, Goro was saved. I am still on waiting if she will drag the team towards their death journey or helps them to survive. |
| I liked Goro from the start, even more now. Also, MAL seemed to have gone haywire on my end? The spaces between words are gone. |

WordIsBond said: Some people don't seem to understand that. Just look at the review on this show's page giving it a 1/10 saying the plot never progresses... through 6 whole episodes. 135 people actually found that helpful. Reviews on mal are only used to vent hate for series, if show is popular even shitty review will be liked a lot by a bunch of dissapointed haters. Worst think is that review system is shit - no downvotes not comments system so proper discussion about the text is impossible. |
 |
| I think they kinda forced the goroXichigo ship in this episode, I guess only time will tell how it will end. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |

I am still on waiting if she will drag the team towards their death journey or helps them to survive. This is why she needs more development. It seems like she is having issues warming up to the group, but we get so little info on what she might be feeling at any given moment, it's really hard to tell exactly what is going on. |
| Goro best gir~ err boy. Another relationship buildup episode, Ichigo damn girl get a clue Goro likes you. Would like to see more of their world and the klauxaur origins on the next episodes. |
 |
| So she swam for so long in some unknown, probably flammable liquid with her skin and eyes exposed just holding her breath... Bullshit. Also, man was this episode bland. Are there no decent anime writers any more that can make series neither rushed nor dragged? |
Ii tenki desu ne... |

So because I don't like a certain aspect of a show I should just drop it completely after watching 9 episodes of it? Some people may do that but unless something is horrifyingly bad, I don't drop a show that I've watched almost halfway already. What I don't understand is why people get so butthurt over simple opinions on this site. If you like the show then more power to you, I still think the show is turning out to be complete trash but still has potential which is why I'm still watching it. |
| I know some people are complaining about the "drama" or the focus on the romance. But I think its being delivered quite nicely. The way we can see these characters grow from not understanding their feelings to exploring their depths is really interesting and because they don't have any stigma against it, they are just ignorant on the subject atm, we aren't getting highly dramatic breakdowns of ichigo as a character or goro whining about his feelings for 15 episodes. We have characters who actually talk to eachother(especially Goro, he is best boy easy peasy, he's my bro for life) They actually are asking questions and trying to figure out their emotions. Yet they are still decent kids through the experience. Goro might like ichigo but he also like Hiro so rather then resentment, we get him sharing with and supporting Hiro. Ichigo may be jealous of 02 but she still is accepting of her as a person and trys to be a good leader. IDK this "drama" and relationship/character building stuff is cool here, some people can complain about it just because they don't like drama whatsoever but when it's an interesting story inside the world and portrayed in a fresh manner like this without overexaggeration. Then I, personally, Don't see a problem. I quite enjoy the ride and I'm loving all the characters. *Plus* let's just enjoy that Explosion animation, whew boy this shows consistency of quality has risen. |
| A really good episode. Possibly the best one so far. Goro being cool af. |
