| Is it only me or are they intentionally raising death flags like it was no ones business? Overall a mediocre episode. More drama, the backstory was nice, still no lore building. 2/5 |
| and Ichigo is added to my favorite girls blog lol was a fun episode, but Goro trying to selfdestruct and Ichigo arriving at the last second, was a little forced haha |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| This episode made no sense what so ever, putting yourself and your partner at risk to save a colleague, then choosing to lose control of the robot by ejecting your partner and killing yourself to defeat the treat. That would make Ichigo without a partner, did Goro really think this through, after this episode, i'm categorizing him as one of the other bad characters in Darling in the Franxx, this seemed like one of those people that like to be put in harms way or pretends to be hurt, just to see if the partner really cares about them. Also, Ichigo swimming inside the beast, :S, that made even less sense. If Goro hadn't ejected Ichigo, the episode would've had only 5 minutes. 2/5 |

| Anyone else think the part where he was stuck in the klaxo is exactly like that Evangelion episode where Shinji was inside an angel? |
AyumiVk said: @Tomlora Thing is, people need to understand that Zero Two is not the only main character, as there are 9 other ones. They are not there to be just background characters, and people who think like that piss me off, i mean if they just want to see her in the screen then they can just seach for her fanarts and whatever they want since this is not Zero Two The Anime. I do like her a lot, i am just triggered for seeing people acting like this. If they are all main characters, shouldn't more work be put on creating them? There are 2 tsundere characters and then there is the fat kid, which is only that, the fat kid that is shown eating every other episode. The rest of the team are comprised of nhé, mediocre and okay characters. |

| Some ppl dislike the episodes because short 02-016 screentime ,the other char need screen time as well. Good to see tha strelizia is not so op today and doesnt deliver the finishing blow . Im waiting for some dark stuff as well like the truth about what they really are or character death which i expect to be episode 15 up |

 |
| Goro to sacrifice himself just to kill that klaxosaur... Dang man. Maybe he didn't know that if he killed himself Ichigo will be alone without his partner but okay he will be killed anyway if he will not take any action inside that There is a short screentime between Zero Two and Hiro but that's okay since the other characters need screentime. Ichigo and Goro is one of the characters I really like in this series ;; But it feels like they are raising the tragedy flags all over again, will they be killing one character in the next few episodes |

It was sweet of Hiro to give something to 02, but I wonder if the mirror would mean something later on seeing at how it was broken in the OP Goro raised the death flag, I thought they would kill him off, but I'm glad he didn't die because that would be a waste of good development. It was cute of him to confess his feelings & finally give her the hair clip! Also kid Ichigo was cute ;;  |

The similarities are superficial at best, the shows are both tonally and in substance quite different apart from the "monster of the week" plot and child soldiers, which NGE did not come up with I like both anime, but can't really understand why people keep on drawing the parallels between these two anime when they aren't particularly close |

| So we're in the pair episodes, starting wth a new ship. Btw that's too cliche.. Cliche in a way that Goro chat with Ichigo when he was stuck is so boring and basically spoils to you the every detail of the episode after that. I know that it's not about the dramatic effect, but it's more about that they're trying to develop the relationship between Goro and Ichigo there, but this episode relies on that whole "one of the pair save the other" prince (or, in this case, princess) thing. Very standard lol. But worse, is that bcs the process of that "saving" thing the two of them did was without real risk at all (other than drowning ofc,) this episode lacks... suspense. From an action genre perspective, that's bad. From drama perspective, too, the development for Goro isn't really interesting, bcs they haven't tell us more than what was foreshadowed on the previous episodes. But I do hope that this isn't the end for this pair (and the trio of Hiro-Ichigo-Goro) arc. No way you leave Goro hanging since you have 24 episodes to build a proper triangle. (well, technically it's a square with 02, but for now she's mostly irrelevant.) |

uninstallthegame said: again, the happy ending was too much. building all this intensity to destroy the klaxosaur just in 5 seconds was really stupid To be honest, that part bothered me as well. It sure as hell looked like a predicament and that they were going to have a hard time with this Klaxosaur. But getting Ichigo inside that thing was an easy feat, and once she entered the FranXX again - it was over fast without much effort. Other than that, enjoyed the episode, though. |
  |
| Some good relationship building for Ichigo and Goro this episode and also good to see more of their past as kids together with Hiro. Goro confessed his feelings about Ichigo... Something Ichigo didn't manage to pull off yet. Eventho I do like Ichigo a lot, more than Zero Two so far. |

There are characters with more screentime than others within the 10 of them, and yes Futoshi unfornatly is the one who has the least. Up to now he has only been seen eating and didnt even have a lot of lines during the episodes. However, we are still on episode 9 and this anime is going to have two cours, which is a lot of time for develop the character.. and not just him, but the others as well. |

| Wasn't too sure about this when I started watching,but damn,has it got good. The mecha designs didn't really do it for me at first,but they've grown on me. What I do like is the way they are all reacting to one another,its just got better and better. What I love(apart from Zero Two,she's a complex hottie),is the opening song,its bloody awesome! All in all,I'm looking forward to how this progresses. |

| Goro X Ichigo ship has sailed |
| Good episode. Somewhat of a friendzone by Ichigo but there's still hope for Gorou. I'm just glad that Gorou realized his own feelings and confessed. Problem I guess is how this affects their ability to pilot since there has to be a reason why only kids could pilot Franxx and they were denied all knowledge about love and all that. Other thought: it's actually really puzzling how Zorome is still around. Every time he just fucks up by going too far ahead and drags people down with him. It's really fucking insane too how he hasn't learned his lesson by now since this wasn't the first time he placed others at risk. |
| the best SLICE OF LIFE/ROMANCE of the season so many couples to work with prepare ur ships guys |
| Nice episode focusing on Ichigo and Goro, but I feel like it could have been avoided if they just had coordinated attacks and Zorome didn't charge in like a dumbass. |
| So Goro finally stopped being a total wuss, nice. |
| Jaywalker. |
| More character development :) Plot was kind of weak, particularly with Goro's backstory + the fight was lacking hype. |

| Another meh episode. I like Goro though so I didn't hate it. |

Svylfnir said: Angel942 said: Same thing for me, I wanted to them to have development more. I was expecting a relatively big development for 02 / hiro from the pw ... I'm a little disappointed Same here. This might be one of the best episodes in the series so far, in terms of having all the elements of plot and character development that have been missing or inconsistent. So that's nice. But I'm getting very annoyed with the continued lack of 02 development. Considering the degree to which she is plastered all over the promotional materials and OP, she gets very little screen time. It really feels like she is in the series just to string people along so they'll keep watching. |

| So are we not gonna talk about how when Ichigo dived into that klaxsaur fluid stuff she first had a mask/helmet thing to protect her. Then as she’s swimming she doesn’t have it but yet it looks like her suit is suffering damage. Um, so why didn’t her face burn or something? |
Duri1n said: Okay... Won't lie... Kind of disappointed with this episode. Hopefully things pick up next week. I am the same. Are we going to get this relationship shit with all the partners? |
| What a nice name for this episode xD Ichigo was very cute in this episode, especially in the last moments and i think that Goro enjoyed the moment ;) |

KuromeJane95 said: Can Darling in the fran do something different? Like pushing the show towards something darker? -like character deaths or rebellion against papa. Agreed. I keep expecting the main conflict to take the spotlight, but things have been aimless since episode 6. I was really expecting that at the end they would cut to Dr. Franxx watching Ichigo and Goro on a monitor and stroking his beard or chuckling or something. Like, to at least remind us that he is still observing them. Buuut... nothing. |
| Great episode goro is the best girl Triangle bomb huh ? Writers know exactly what they are doing to us... |
 ボールルームダンサー |
| WOW. This episode is so heartwarming AND... Goro is still alive POGGERS |
 |
| I hate this NTR shit 1/10 if 15x56 happens Anyone else noticed our dumb af mc looks at ichigo differently? After goro says he love ichigo? I gotta feeling our dumb af mc will realize he actually likes ichigo instead and it's actually platonic to zero two Also the fact that Kokoro and Mitsuru are being implied heavily and hinted much while having different partners means 15xhiro is still very much alive |
| No one's mentioning the desperate act of self-preservation by Zorome? He wanted no part of that argument. |
 |
| Loved how Goro is honest with his feelings unlike other cliche anime out there. |
| Ichigo is ♥..... |
