Found the "Boy vs Girl" moments to be incredibly cringy, just because of how dumb they were, but the ending was decent.

Cool, but it's still a cliche episode. 24 episodes... I think certain people will die there :v. Great to see the approach of the characters I hope to see some more romance. Looking forward to the next episode.

No is a costume her battlesuit is red.. I talking about the opening
Ah ok yes is white, these is a uniform of ape maybe indicate that she fight ape with hiro infact, can indicate the fact that hiro, should not be afraid of his desire and trust her out of love

Well, Miku and Zorome still completely deserve each other...

I feel bad for Futoshi and Ikuno though... Ikuno's stuck in this terrible relationship with Mitsuru where they're just kind of going through the motions even though they don't really seem to care about each other, but it's still going to hurt when Mitsuru abandons her, and Futoshi's a nice guy who really cares for Kokoro, yet it looks like she's going to end up being drawn to bad-boy Mitsuru and practicing the lessons in her book even as he spirals into prescription drug abuse... how sad, and too real O-o

So, we have conclusive proof now that 002 is not an oni (ogre), but a troll. >_> Kind of impressed that she went the route of cranking up the absurdity level to 11 in order for everyone to realize just how absurd they were being with the whole taping thing.

BIG props to Futoshi. Making a declaration like that takes some serious guts. XD Helps to reinforce that he is the most dedicated to his partner out of the boys too.

Also, that bra Hiro got hit with was too small to hold all of the hopes and dreams that Kokoro carries on her person. Though we will never know for sure whose it was, my money is on the production deciding to use Ichigo's.. for the irony. lol

Kokoro already read the book of sex lol


can people just stop saying that is a sex book? because it wasn't

that is a book about pregnancy and how to take care babies for new moms. probably it will have a word of "sex" but that's it witouht further explanation what sex actually is or how to do it


Actually, I've read one of those books they give to expectant mothers. ^^ It most certainly DOES have a section on sex since they have to explain that it's quite normal for a pregnant woman to have an increased sex drive and that it's safe to have sex while pregnant and once they're stable after giving birth. IIRC, there were even a few NG and recommended positions for those concerned about putting weight on their stomachs in the one I read.

There've been several hints (including this very episode) that Ikuno may be a lesbian. Since Mitsuru should have a clue about that with the whole piloting thing, it actually could go quite a way to explain his shitty attitude.

If he's still getting the meds, it's because he is being prescribed them. With how controlled their environment is, it would be just shy of impossible for it to become any sort of abuse issue. "Addiction" possibly, IF he has to face taking them for the rest of his life. Even when it is for entirely legitimate reasons, those with chronic pain / long-time use of pain meds all have to eventually come to terms with how they see their own usage.

Why do people describe Mitsuru as a "bad boy", he isn't a delinquent, in fact he might be the least delinquent of all the guys. He's more the pompous type, some say due to an insecurity, either way he isn't the usual type to get that moniker. He hasn't done anything to break the rules

I dislike the new ending song but the episode was funny.
I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes.

Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that.
It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers.

This show does a great job of starting most episodes off with playful and fun things, but then it slowly becomes more serious and usually ends on a dark or foggy note. It really makes this show an intriguing watch

This is fun & logic episode. Even they have to facing life&death battle, they should act according to their ages, not to lose their self n become some edgy twisted revenge-worshipper teenager.
Somehow it gives deeper impression that "Papa/adults" is a bigger a-hole, by treating them more like a machine
Need to check if there's a "tragedy" tag. I hope this is gonna be a happy ending.

Nice anthesis from begining to end showing a difference of a lighthearted start but ultimatley finding deeper and more consequental aspects of their actions as it concluded. Also did a nice job of expanding their world building, hopefully we learn more about past squads soon

overall, fun episode, they managed to handle a lot of heavy concepts in a light-hearted and fun way, completely eliminating what could have been an angsty and boring drama fest of an episode, so I'm glad for that lol. also, this was definitely a turning point for the squad™ as well, so excited to see what happens next. I just hope the overall outcome of this episode actually becomes relevant in the future, id hate for this to have been a waste, only to have them go back to bickering and not connecting as a team

also, calling it now, ikuno is gay af, she's: A) literally touching Ichigo's shoulder and showing concern for her in like every episode so far. B) has been proven to harbor no romantic/sexual connection with her ass of a partner. and C) is totally ok with having the building split between the boys and girls stating "I wouldn't mind if things stayed like this forever" ... and, just a bonus: directly after saying that, 02 licks her neck (lmao) and says "i taste a secret"( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ) anybody else, got they yuri goggles fixed on this shit or am i just talkin outa my ass here XD

anyway, just a theory ¯_(ツ)_/¯ but great episode overall, i freakin love this show

oh, and the end credits where fucking adorable

I am worried about the relationship between Kokoro and Futoshi though...Like I really want them to end up together but I feel like Kokoro has more of an interest in Mitsuru. Maybe that will lead to more development like jealousy and a fight between the boys.

Also I feel bad for Ikuno because while compatible her and Mitsuru do not get along which I find fascinating.

Zero Two licking Ikuno was hilarious though.

exactly, if anything they should be more than compatible. they both seem very driven, smart, cold/distant; they appear to be nothing less than perfect together. I mean on the outside I can go on and on about their similarities but if my theory about ikuno is correct, things get a whole lot more interesting.

ikuno is smart and driven, putting her own personal feelings aside for the team, she knows that if she slips up, they could all die. whereas Mitsuru is smart and driven for his own personal gain, pushing the feelings of others aside and not caring about the lives lost, as long as he's on top... so in a way, though severely imbalanced, they do work as a team while piloting the franxx. ikuno is selfless and Mitsuru is selfish..

also, they've both kind of been in the background so far, especially ikuno, so i really hope they expand on them in future episodes.. as of this episode, i do feel a shift and maybe a hint at some more ikuno development thanks to kokoro's sudden out of character outburst... that could give ikuno the courage to speak how she's been feeling. also the recent looming idea of death could play a part it her "coming out" as well.. which is scaring me

there is a slight chance im waaaaay over analysing this whole thing, but guess we'll see lol

Girls vs Boys now. Ah puberty.

02 stealing their clothes while the boys and girls quarrel with a smug face is hilarious. So the closed off rooms in the first floor were once from the previous 13th squad. But why was Miku got afraid when she saw the picture frame? The picture tells that the current teams reminded that their lives are on the line. Will someon die? Dunno, but its possible. While its all fun, it has some character developments.

I wonder, when Kokoro will show that book from the others?

they just hit PUBERTY!!!! hahahaha... teenage problems between girls and boys!!!And they have this kiddie quarrel scenes and good thing they have able to resolve it.

* as a man, i would also have the same reaction on the first few minutes of todays episode, you cant just ignore it though, and you cant say it to them (instantly) since they will be distracted from what they are doing. (its all about proper timing.)

*that last scene though shows the former Squad 13. in there they have realized how important friendship is.

Based from what we have seen from Futoshi so far, it seems clear that he pretty much loves Kokoro, unlike Mitsuru who doesn't have any romantic feelings for either Ikuno or any girl, so I hope that the story doesn't make Mitsuru NTRs Kokoro from Futoshi.

Mitsuru should be character developed along with his existing partner Ikuno.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

This episode was really something and I enjoyed it a lot. We were given some funny, some sweet and some bitter moments and we have seen how they are interacting with each other. I can't wait to see how all of this will resolve. As much as I don't like saying it, I have to - we have 1/3 of the series behind us (already... when?) and I think that things will now be more intense. I just hope it won't turn out in some kind of slaughter, it would be sad to see them perish like the other team. That is just my wish, I'm aware that this anime has "this" kind of vibe, something for sure will go down.
Interesting is also the amount of knowledge Zero Two has and I wonder how much does she know. I'm also wondering what they want to achieve with this "testing" team, what Dr. FRANXX is up to, but to understand this I have to wait some more.
From what I've seen almost everything else was already said about that episode, but I have to say one thing - trolling Zero Two is the best Zero Two and her smug face rules :3

GUYS I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BECOME AN ADULT IN DITF. The very beginning of the show, the very few first seconds, you see a human in red skin as shown in the openings. This person looks like Zero Two except she has white hair. She turns around and there are 10 klaxosaurs behind her. In the opening, there is a row of children with a band around their neck and this woman also has the same band around her neck. My speculation is when you become an adult, you slowly become a klaxosaur. First your hair changes color, your skin changes and your nails get longer. You start to attract other klaxosaurs due to your transformation. Papa and the others fear this transformation so they send all of the adults out of the plantation to fend for themselves. This was the woman in the beginning, a former squad member that began the transformation and was banished. Shes being hunted by all of the klaxosaurs as she turns around. Please leave your opinions.
