Epicenter said: Futoshi's character continues to make me sick with how pathetic he is, I hope he develops or dies. I hate spineless people like that. I wonder why 02 is considered the one that can save the world, but is only 02. What's up with 01? Give some time for Futoshi, he will be a good guy. ;) Zero 01 is Lelouch, remember? Joke aside, 01 could be first kind of Zero Two, failed sure, he or she have run away and who knows the source of klaxosaurs attacks came from him or her. |
| There's definitely memory loss at play here, Zero Two and Hiro remember different things. Zero Two wants to be human and meet her darling... she doesn't know Hiro is her darling atm huh. This episode was very well-written and raised many important questions which I hope will be explored and resolved in the next episode. Next week's episode can't come soon enough :o |
| Felt way too forced and dramatic. |

isekai said: Darling in the FranXX - literally her Darling is in the FranXX all along Gotta admit that was a clever twist... Although it was being hinted by the opening somewhat with the hand holding. Looks like it's confirmed for good now that pistils can force Stampede Mode even when the stamen is piloting with them. I wonder how Hiro will get out of this lol. He either turns Zero Two into a real human (which is unlikely) or he will become a "monster" too and run away together or something. |
| I think that's it for me man. This episode had the least amount of bullcrap in it since ep.5 and I like it for that but personally, at this point, I'm more or less saying "too little, too late" cause I can't say I cared about anything that happened here. The introduction of Nsync ,after a five or six episode absence, was just kind of felt like "ok whatever", I still don't care about Hiro or the other kids, and I'm sorry to say this but I've lost almost all interest in Zero Two. She has not been nearly as fun to watch as she was in the beginning and her plight, like everyone else, has not been that compelling to me. Sorry If I'm raining on anyone's parade but I'm just not enjoying the show like I want to. |

Do we really need to be reminded their on good terms, that he won't confront her for anything, and she'll apologize for bumping into him but not for lying to him and ditching him as soon as possible. I'm surprised they didn't make him blame Hiro for stopping them during the walk, thus forcing her to bump into him, like when he insanely freaked out at Mitsuru when Kororo is the one who ditched him. Hmm, I was thinking that the talkative blonde member of the Nine's might be 01, there's 8 of them so it would fit the entire single digits being taken up by them and 02. It's just so weird, since he seems human, so it would be odd for this non human super beast to be behind him. Even if he wasn't human, I'm not sure why he'd say she's they key to saving the world, if she's second place. Maybe he isn't 01, and one of them is number 10. |
| Jaywalker. |
| So Zero Two was just using Hiro all along to kill klaxosaurs and become human? Dammit. That blonde dude has a big NTR aura surrounding him it's not even funny. Goro better watch out. I'm sad to hear Naomi has likely died, I felt for her the short time she was in the series. Though there is also the possibility they took her to another place and she would reappear later, but I'm not going to have my hopes high. |
 |
| I've been disliking Zero two lately, guess that's part of her change as a Klaxosaurus but still... I hope I'm not the only one that wanted Hiro to slap her (or anybody else) Well, things turned lit this episode. Can't wait for the next episode! |

 |
| Zero Two went full yandere. She wants to become human. My problem is that everything happens too fast to care about. Yet i still don't care about the main cast. Finally, more world building. 3/5 |

Well if you want to keep her "pure" you can know about sex without having it ;) Also she already know much about the world anyways so could picked it up anywere. (And Japanese loves keep the girls virginity intact for the MC and "fans") IRl no way ;) |
| The only complaints I've seen from people about this episode are weak. It was genuinely great to me. The narrative is going somewhere since characters have been getting quite good development the past episodes. We've been getting hints the past few episodes about Hiro's past, 'saurification', etc. This episode finally gave us confirmation of these things. I like how they used Ichigo spying to confirm the genetic evolution theory, even though it was becoming more and more obvious. Likewise, the single digits team is finally becoming relevant. They're very antagonistic. And, as usual, we got more hints at other things. One thing that stood out to me was out the leader of the nines called the squad 'humans' as if the nines aren't? They must all be different in some way. Also, the children disappear randomly from the plantation when they're growing up? Must've been defective... The thing that surprised me about this episode was the 'curse' that 02 puts on people. We already knew that partners would die when going with her three times, but we never really knew why in the way that we do now. Fantastic episode, imo. Cannot wait for the second half. |
 |
| Probably the first episode in some time I have actually (somewhat) enjoyed. I still can't help but laugh at the bad writing though. The ending theme ruins the atmosphere too. |
    |
Does anyone have a clue what the text says? |
 |
| The most interesting episode in a while, as a whole lot of development in terms of what you would call the main plot of the show occurs. This sort of a conflict to arise between Hiro and 02 was well within the cards already, but I quite like how it was executed here. We really got to see the rage in her building up and finally unleashed in the final scene as she tries to strangle Hiro. Looking forward to see what happens next |
 |
| So it’s more or less confirmed that Hiro could have gotten his memory wiped and maybe that’s because of him meeting 02 back in the past. Ohh man I feel bad for Hiro tho, he confessed to 02 only to be told that he’s just a fodder ;; I do hope that zero two will realize that her darling from back then is Hiro + idk how she thinks she’ll turn more “Human” if she kills more Klaxosaurs, but the adults could have lied to her by telling her that, making her think that this way she’ll turn into a human and be by her darling side. Also I wonder if the blue oni theory is back & that we will get to see Hiro with horns! I hope next episode they reveal Hiro’s past of when he met 02. |

| Pretty bad episode, zero 2 is basically a Miss Martian wannabe. Trying hard to get people to accept her as human and hide her true self for fear of being shunned. |
 |
| Another mediocre episode of Cuck in the Franxx. With the best part of this episode being Zero Two's slut status revealed. Lmao at all the idiots heralding her as "best girl" of the season. |
 why so fast,i wasn't ready :C |
| This episode was amazing, it wasn't as action packed but the pacing was still good and had shown a more emotionally driven theme To be honest, I wasn't all that when it started and I questioned how good it will be... But now, this low-key anime is heading towards being one of my favourites -definitely of winter 2018- and potentially of my list. This episode was a game changer. It explored their past, tried to set some truths e.g. parasites and children of the garden not becoming adults etc. And then showed the depth of 02's relationship with Hiro, agh I was so sad. But what clinched it was 02's personal conflict and obsession to become human, I felt like crying seeing her behave like that😭😭; and the memory wiping of her and Hiro (It seems like that; definitely for Hiro but I'm still kinda confused on 02) made it all the more intense |

| So she searches for him lol and she doesn't even know that, best episode so far. |
| There is a serious plot after all, it just took 12 weeks to get to it! |
| Don't believe the hype. |

To be honest, I don't want any Squad 13 member is gone dying. Sure, there are a lot of conflicts in the group, but there is a scary world outside as anti-protagonist to devour them, if they are drawn apart; graveyard like domes, the parasites, the garden, a barren world, klaxosaurs, dirty adults, lovelessness, Dr. Franxx, the kind of Zero Two/Nines... Some members pointed death flags, but I hope not. I wish Futoshi realizes his mistake and apologizes Kokoro. They would stay as friends. I forgot to say, Zero Two's horns are getting longer; I hope she would stay as now, with horns, kinda makes me remember Ramu's horn. ;) |

If 01 and 02 were a couple at one point, but 01 became a klaxosaur it could explain why she is attracting those. We still dont know where they come from or what their goal is. Hmmm. I'm still very interested in this show. |

The only one he should apologize to is Mitsuru. She should give him an apology for lying. |

| I don't like that blonde hair elite dude, he really has a smart ass attitude. Poor Hiro, he confessed his love to Zero Two only to get rejected in that manner. Now I understand why Zero Two is acting that way and keeps saying she wants to become human. According to the adults she is becoming more and more like a monster, I am also very worried about Hiro as well after what they said. Looks like we got a quick glimpse of Zero Two's true form at the end there. |

| Easily one of the best episodes so far, we finally get some world building and back story. This episode is exactly what this series needed. This Garden indicates that this series has an incredibly disturbing underbelly. The secret behind the children and what becomes of the failures will turn this series upside down. This Nines squad revealed that all the plantations are going somewhere, but for what reason? And Zero Two is some kind of key that will save humanity, as cliche as it is. I still get the feeling Klaxxosaurs are being drawn to her. Speaking of, it appears Zero Two finally reveals her true colors. I had always had the suspicion that she couldn't careless about Hiro as a person, he was merely a means to an end for her. Someone, possibly this Papa figure, once told her she could become human if she killed enough Klaxxosaurs. But at the very end, there seemed to be a glimmer of human in her. She has a desire to meet someone from her past. I think we can all guess that that was Hiro as a kid who met her when she had red skin and long horns. The way things are going now, and the foreshadowing this episode gave us, I can definitely see an ending where both Hiro and Zero Two die together. I can see this turning into a tragic romance. Overall, terrific episode. |
| 02's logic is derp. I just want her back to her normal self already. |
