GangsterCat said: Hahahahaha, Kokoro sex drive with futoshi vs mitsuru  3 times more satisfied Thats what happens when you get a better partner 😻💦💦💦. Lmao this image made my night. Loved the episode Kokoro is now 2nd best girl. She is a Savage, I love it. Everyone is hating on her making that switch when its what she really wanted but I say do what's best for you girl. She made that promise because she thought she would be stuck with Futoshi and didn't want to hurt him. So when she got the opportunity she never thought she would get she took it. People need to calm down and stop being haters. |

| At first, I didn't like Mitsuru and his passive-aggressiveness towards Hiro, but I've come to like him more. Sure his anger doesn't stem from the most deep or complicated reason, however, I don't think that makes it forced. Mitsuru was really young when he was "betrayed," and at that age, he wasn't mature enough to look for a reason why Hiro had forgotten their promise. To Mitsuru, a frail child, Hiro was his idol, as Hiro was strong and charismatic. The fact that his idol made a pinky swear to him must've been the best thing that has ever happened to Mitsuru. To knowingly taking a dangerous shot and being the only child who has ever survived, he can't help but be devastated by Hiro breaking the promise, which unfathomable to Mitsuru, Hiro had claimed to have forgotten. If you're around any young children, you'd be familiar with their reaction to broken/forgotten promises. "But you said you'd buy me that" or "you said we'd play a game today!" etc. And again, it's a big deal to Mitsuru because how much he looked up to Hiro and wanted to be akcnowleged by him. Anyways, I hope they make up in the future and realize that the promise wasn't intentionally broken. Also, I don't think Mitsuru loves Hiro. Imo, he only idolizes Hiro, unlike Ikuno actually having feelings for Ichigo. Someone also said that Mitsuru had good character growth, regarding how he let Futoshi punch him instead of dodging. I agree, that was a good scene. As for Kokoro breaking the promise to Futoshi, it was definitely not good of her to do so. But similarly, not everyone would for sure be able keep the promise that they'll stay with someone forever, that their feelings won't change. Kokoro making that promise was based on their current situation, where she'd never thought there would be an opportunity for partner change. Still, if she was more mature and thoughtful (which she claims she isn't the nice girl everyone thinks of her as anyways), she should have talked it out with Futoshi before making the one-sided decision. Anyways, I definitely found this episode interesting just as with previous episodes and the character relationship dynamics. I also thought it was interesting regarding the flashback, Hiro's clothes connecting to the red oni, his personality change, and missing memories. |

LUL, yea a lot of accounts, 'cause the same joke twice sounds even funnier haHAA i like yuri anime, and this is not yuri but yielding to promote a queer character just to please the mainstream variety Promote what? What mainstream variety? The fact you think having a gay character in anime about teenager relationships is "to please the mainstream variety" is what makes you dumb. Ikuno can be a lesbian just like Ichigo can be in love with Hiro. you're not very smart, are you? |

| I'm not sure why people think Kokoro had some type of duty or obligation to remain Futoshi's partner just because he's nice to her. Flip the script, since most of those who attack her seem to be guys: there's this person who's clearly fawning over you that you have not exhibited any interest toward, and on top of that, she doesn't really know who you are as a person. You have been business partners but now you have an opportunity to switch out of what's perhaps an uncomfortable situation for you. Would you not take it? Would you further trap yourself and lead on that girl? I would guess no. And that's precisely what Kokoro did. It's not as if they were told beforehand they could make this request and she was looking to maximize the pain inflicted on Futoshi; it's simply that when the opportunity presented itself, she seized it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Futoshi's affections are true, perhaps, but shallow. He only sees her as a nice and good-looking girl. Kokoro seems to intuitively understand this, and Hiro's point is probably half true: Kokoro can't leave Mitsuru alone, but that's because she sees some of herself in Mitsuru and can relate to him better. Now, it's not clear that Kokoro has romantic feelings for Mitsuru (and Mitsuru's focus is unquestionably Hiro, not Kokoro), but the coming together of the two was being set up quite long ago--Mitsuru never clicked with Ikuno and there have been scenes where Kokoro is alone interacting with Mitsuru. If you're caught off guard by this, you have not been paying any attention. Onto the plot itself--I'm okay with the show spending time on characterization but perhaps we need to move along now. At this point only Ikuno and Miku haven't gotten their own episodes (although Ikuno is the only one we practically know nothing about), but I really, really hope we don't spend 2 more episodes on characterization. It's episode 11. This show has given us a good jumping-off point to explore a lot of things. It needs to realize that potential soon. |
 So basically Mitsuru wanted to pilot WITH Hiro... right? |
 |
| Wtf Kokoro? Honestly Futoshi is annoying. Just because he likes Kokoro, doesnt mean she has to reciprocate. In fact, I don't want or expect her to. That being said WHY the hell would u promise him that despite knowing you want Mitsuru's D. The end basically makes it seem like she purposely betrayed him to prove she wasn't a good girl but wtf is that? He's pathetic enough you don't have to add to it, now we have annoying people in the comment section saying Futoshi got NTR'd when his dumbass never had her to begin with. Poor annoying asf kid. And what stick is up Zero Two's ass? Real question is why was it so easily for Futoshi to pair with Ikuno? And when will Kokoro and Mitsuru bang? I wonder what happened to Hiro. Him forgetting the promise seems more like he went through some experiment shit that made him forget. |

 This was the most savage anime break up (sort of) I've ever seen, I rally feel for futoshi getting shot down like that... But we all know kokoro likes mitsuru - 'cause of that baby talk they had, that's why I assume that. OMFG though, I just realised mitsuru's hairstyle is so good; geez, kokoro knows how to fish, god dayamn. Anyways, that episode was great; they're slowly, but surely been building on this world ridden by klaxosaurs but there hasn't been much development in the characters purpose, I may just be ignorant and have missed something out as I'm watching this half asleep Pity we didn't see anything further on zero two's fang... dammit. Keepin' us in the dark like that Whooo, can't wait for next week though. |

| Yaoi in the Franxx? That was a pretty deep episode in terms of char development, definitely a step above the previous few eps. It's funny how people are shitting on Kokoro for friend-zoning Futoshi when stuff like this happens all the time irl. Futoshi's reaction was kinda exaggerated but the rest was fine. It's pretty clear that something happened, causing Hiro to forget his promise - nice groundwork for another episode. Also nice how we got a name for what happens when a pistil solos a franxx. |

| Decent episode! I do feel bad for Futoshi, he does seem to care about Kokoro & I don't agree with what Kokoro did in which she promised him only for her to break it 3 min later, but then again she at least acknowledges that she's not a "Nice girl" who agrees to everything for the sake of being nice. Rather than letting others decide for her, I'm glad that she's starting to speak her mind & I think that's a good step for her. On the other hand, I can't find myself liking Mitsuru, but at least this episode proved that he's not some jerk who acts cool & distant for the sake of it. I understand why he's hurt tho, seeing as how he admired Hiro, only for Hiro to not remember anything about their promise to ride together! Judging from how Hiro looked in the past & with him not remembering the promise, the adults probably altered his memory I think that maybe this partner swap was needed in order for Futoshi to have some development rather than just idolizing Kokoro. I also do hope that Ikuno will get some development as well since so far I find her boring compared to the rest. |

| At least now we know why Mitsuru hates Hiro, not like it's a big reason, he probably doesn't remember it because something happened to him, but anyways. I think that Kokoro switched partners because after reading that book about reproduction she became more interested in guys, and since Mitsuru is the one that looks the most mature she wants him as a partner...and maybe not only xD Hmmmm 02 wtf? Random angry? But i think soon we will understand why. |

| This anime is a disaster. I'm glad that my score after the first episode 4/10 is still the same. The dumb drama returns strong than ever. The 'next TTGL or KLK' LMAO. 2/5 |

| Imma be serious, this show is getting better with time, I'm loving these new character developments, however this "NTR" scene, it really triggered me... well, gotta wait another week to see how this turns out... |

| I'm sorry Futoshi but nice guys don't get the girl and I'm sorry Kokoro but Mitsuru is gay for Hiro. |

| Pretty decent episode. I wanna feel bad for Futoshi but he just comes off as a creep. I dont blame Kokoro for her choice and she did nothing wrong. Any hate against her is uncalled for imo. |
 |
| lmao, serves you well fatass for being annoying it's a common knowledge that girl like edgy weak boi serious note tho, I like this pairing more and I alrd saw it coming miles away |
| The very first thing i care about this are DON'T EVEN WAKE UP LIKE THAT AGAIN SUBA....i mean Mitsuru. And you can replace Subaru's meme with Mitsuru and "True love" and "Best Girl". |
| Into the Internet! |
| Amazing episode as always. I finally got my ship of Mitsuru X Kokoro complete XD Was kinda sad seeing Futoshi like that. Maybe cause I haven't watched romance in quite a long time XD I'm still kinda confused as to why Kokoro did the switch tho. Her reason wasn't explained but I believe Hiro is right that she might have done it out of kindness, but still I feel something's missing out. Meanwhile Futoshi was doing so well by himself too! |
 |
| I see many people leaving negative comments about this episode. Not sure what they expected. It's a mecha show with teen pilots aimed at teens. So yes, teen relationship drama. I personally find it interesting since these kind of episodes give characters some depth. Makes them more interesting and likeable in the longer run. You can't really complain about shallow characters this way. I look forward to seeing things from zero two's pov. That is definitely gonna be entertaining. |
| I love me some queer characters. |

AdrianRubinsky said: I'm getting sick of this episodic teen drama format. It's been like that since Episode 6. I really like drama anime, but the plot of this anime is of a such poor quality... I think I will give one more episode before dropping this. Too bad I had a lot of faith about Hiro and 02 characterization and interactions. The world was promising enough to have some really good plot about survival of the couple. The plot will start in the episode 13 or 14, Trigger always do that (LWA, KLK) |

| jesus this is getting repetitive, also mitsuru is a massive cunt and the drama is fucking stupid. i just want to see more 02 tbh |
| Ueno best girL |
| Well, after the last few eps I have to admit... I'm not really interested in the side-char development |
    |
| Hoe:I believe in you, so you should also believe in me! I was like: pfft Bich please.... My main concern is how in this episode kokoro's judgement in shifting partner was non benefit to the team... I mean he almost get stomped... I am so lost, at how a few conversation woth mitsuru would make her think that switching pilot with a sick pilot was a good idea... The most concerning part was, how the commanding officer act... They be like, any of you wanna switch? And i thought this is a publicly funded war... Yet they act like a lazy ass japanese police.... |

| oh look, another skippable episode EXCEPT FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES OF IMPORTANT BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Just like the last 6 episodes. Kokoro is a real bitch, yeah partner swap and gonna support the edgelord yada yada but atleast be honest to your partner. Mitsuru is actually gay for Hiro confirmed. It really hurts seeing this series getting so bad after the amazing first 5 episodes. I just hope it wont get as bad as LWA. Who will be the drama couple next week? RyoKei-san said: You would know what everybody here complains about if you would have watched the first 5 episodes. They gave us a promising original setting, with clearly a darker and more serious plot hinted - in every single episode even know - just to do nothing with it. Character developement and all that nice stuff sure, but they dont need to waste half a season on this. Good animes manage to develope the character while progressing the plot, they dont take a break from the plot to give us character background which could be totally generic except for that 1 important deatil. And DitF looked like a good anime, it had all the ingredients. Pacing and episode directing should not be the weak point of such a project, not with Trigger and A1 working on it. Trigger lost its magic. I see many people leaving negative comments about this episode. Not sure what they expected. It's a mecha show with teen pilots aimed at teens.

You either have overwhelmingly 5/5s for the episode poll or you have an issue with the series. As long as they dont so some really stupid shit people never vote for bad. |

| NTR episode, so this is makes the show almost worse as Gundam IBO's abysmal soap opera thingy From now I just watch for Zero Two, cheers |

| Kokoro is such a bitch wow. Used to think she was a nice ass girl |
| How can it be NTR if she NEVER love the other kid in the first place???? Futoshi just keep making his own conclusion and advance when NOTHING that Kokoro said or act shows that she liked him or anything. Because he keep acting clingy and annoying she just have to agree with whatever he said so that he would just shut up. I am sure if they let them change partner so easily without reason, she would have try to find someone else Also if you guys have a chance to be with someone you LOVE, I am sure you will take all the chance to be with him/her. If not you are just a coward that will blame other things when things didnt go the way u want in the end |
| @Comander-07 Not sure if that was meant as an insult but whatever. At the very least, if you are representative that is, I know what the dissatisfied people are expecting now. You guys want the plot to progress to the explanation of the dystopian society. I'm personally not in a rush. Since there's like a week space in between episodes, I find myself quite disconnected from the story line anyway and I enjoy what I get. |
