Ooh, a relationship chart. Interesting. It seems the episode is exploring human emotions as part of its theme. The Ministry of Defense and their plans...

The episode was kinda fun to watch, felt different than the others. It shows the characters in their civilian clothes and more open to others with the relaxed environment. Idk if Hisone is ready for a relationship yet but she's quite fun to watch when interacting with others.

This episode was so damn hilarious!

Friendzoned haha! But I think I wouldn't mind Hisone ending up with Okonogi (she didn't even know his first name lol) because he is such an adorable sweet guy. For now, I am happy that she has her Masotan!

I am more worried about Hoshino falling for that jerk. Don't go fall for him just because he praised you! Argh! Ririko on the other hand would totally sell her team members in the future. I really hope it doesn't become the case. I am just glad that she missed the moment when Hoshino blushed. Also, Hitomi is a total groper. You pervy old man! :D

Anyways,

Also Hisone and Okonogi belong together yet at the same time he has to break her heart and if she falls in love Masotan might stop accepting her and ahhhhhh this is too much drama for me to handle.

It's interesting to know that pilots cannot fall in love. An operation is in place so that won't happen for the current pilots. Hisone had a nice time with Haruto. Ririko is a big Kingdom fan, she got duped at the end lol.

Although the episode had a fun environment, They're is a lot of ominous things that is going on in the background. D-Pai's not being able to fall in love and all the ships being set up in the background just screams heart break toward the end of the show. A lot of interesting stuff going on. Hoshino better not fall for that ass hat though. This is anime of the season for me so far, but if this keep up, I might add this to my favorites. It's so damn good!

This was sort of humorous (and cute), but any serious result (if serious) of whatever the conflict is going to be will probably be dumb, with such a contrivance to start the motion. Pretty damn obvious way of inserting love drama, but who knows where they're going with this. I think I like Kinutsugai and Hoshino equally at this point.

Love the episode for the most part. By far the funniest part was Hitomi rubbing the guy's leg.

I'm say this right now though, if Hoshino ends up falling for that jackass I'm going to be extremely pissed cause he's one of the main ones spouting all that sexist bullcrap so a couple of scenes where he's actually nice to her does not and will not cut it for me.

Ririko singing the ending was just wonderful! XD

Hope that was the lat episode where the "romance" theme was approached. Given the result of the "test" and the danger it offers to the D-pilots seems very likeable.

Someone need to save Hoshino from that scum as soon as possible, please!

I can only echo most of what everybody else has already said about this episode... It was mostly cute and fun, paying particular attention to Hisone and Okonogi's date. As well as Hitomi's hands-on approach with men. Whoo-boy! And Ririko's take on the ED -- the original version of which, I really love, for its thorough 70s vibe.

But, this whole plot to pit the pilots together with love interests, just for the purpose of breaking their hearts later on, because they need to be pure in their connection to their respective dragons; Man, that's some kinda dark and brutal twist. And what is it all for, exactly? What is it that so threatens their country -- or perhaps, the world -- that makes the d-pilots such a necessity in the first place, but that also makes it so absolutely necessary for them to have to suffer for it?

Hmm by the way this episode ended it seems like they won't continue with the breaking of the hearts thing. I kinda hope not. It's a pretty cruel thing to do. Hopefully Eru doesn't actually fall for Zaito, and tho I don't think we will get a seriously relationship between Hisone and Haruto, a little something would be cute.

I think the key is to what Hitomi said. That she would like her lover to love her OTF as much as she does. And by now it is obvious that Okonogi really treasures Masotan. So, even if Hisone falls in love with Okonogi, I think it won't have any adverse effect on her attachment with Masotan because Okonogi loves Masotan too. Maybe it will be even better for the woman to fall in love with a man who loves OTFs: a case which the top brass has not taken into consideration.

It also explains why Nao couldn't become a D-Pilot. She is in love with someone who probably doesn't care about anything but D-Pilot suits.

Definitely feel bad for the guy who is clearly catching feelings, but knows that if Hisone falls for him he has to break her heart. Geez.

This was such a nice episode, but knowing their current objective is to have the girls fall in love and then break their hearts kind of hurts me. I don't want to see these precious babies hurt. That outro though. I like her voice, it's funny.

Great episode.

Lilikos being bribed by Kingdom was absolute gold. XD
It was pretty hilarious watching her try to get information out of her fellow D-Pilots, it's also kinda sad that no one believes she'll fall in love.

Drunk Hisone was hilarious. XD
Hisone and Haruto's date was really cute especially that one moment where she mentions how Haruto was able to put his duty and the things he likes together.

Futomi, you pervy old man. XDD

Wonder if Eru really will fall for that guy. :o

The final sequence where all the dragon were vying for the flip phones was really nice.

That scam at the end. xD

I can't believe Ririko became a spy and sold personal information about her friends to a stranger for her hobby. lol I mean, I'm pretty serious about mine too, but this is a bit much and she was even tricked.

But I really liked the episode, some pairings were born/clearly defined and I like them, especially OkonogixAmakasu, the whole plan to break their hearts completely for the so mentioned ritual is too cruel, but I'm looking forward to see how everything will develop from here onward.

I'm worried about that "ritual". It sounds really ominous but given the comedic ground of the series I don't think it'll turn out to be anything really serious. The same happened with Maso-tan's previous pilot, it appeared like something terrible happened to her but she only got married (well, now we know why that seems to be so terrible for D Pilots).

The juices lady is likely the person that appeared in the dream back in the island. Maybe some kind of One D Pilot to rule them all, given that they mentioned something about memories returning.

Oh, I didn't notice that connection in the dream part. Even so, it was obvious enough when they mentioned her. Even the first time she appeared, when she indicated the way to the hangar, I had the feeling she was somehow involved with Maso-tan.

Ririko was singing the ending! That was really awesome!

Damn man I feel bad for Okonogi, he takes care of Masotan and he obv has feelings for Hisone as well.

Man that was a cute Drunken moment between Hisone and Okonogi.

Hoshino and Zaito though????

That old woman is a mystery!

Hehehe, great voice acting in this episode.

So love gets in the way of the job, and they want the pilots to get cucked so that they can forget about love? Eww...Well one thing's for certain, Ririko got cucked for the next Kingdom chapter!

And poor Nao. She better become more relevant in the next few episodes!

And damn it that singing in the ED!

Hitomi so SAVAGE, I really wasn't expecting that from her xD

I honestly enjoyed this episode way more due to its comedy rather than its writing I mean, the reasons for the romance approach seem "logical" but I still found its inclusion a bit absurd/forced for some reason.

That said, it was still a pretty enjoyable episode. The interactions were great and Ririko singing the ED was pure gold.
