| Can I just point out something what Papa and the other Big Bosses discussed this ep? They mentioned the ship Hringhorni plays a big role in their plans. First of, Hringhorni is actually a pretty disatrous ship. It is the funeral ship of the Norse God Baldr, whose death was responsible for the end of the world. This is lore from wikipedia: " According to Gylfaginning, following the murder of Baldr by Loki, the other gods brought his body down to the sea and laid him to rest on the ship. They would have launched it out into the water and kindled a funeral pyre for Baldr but were unable to move the great vessel without the help of the giantess "Hyrrokkin", who was sent for out of Jötunheim. She then flung the ship so violently down the rollers at the first push that flames appeared and the earth trembled, much to the annoyance of Thor." Could Hyrrokin be Zero Two? I mean, she is the "key" right? Idk man |
| Good god and thank god that misunderstanding fallout didn't last for more than half an episode. I kind of forgive the last one now, since seeing Zero Two and Hiro reunite to for super awesome cute red mech was made that much better after all of the tension. Can't feel too bad for Ichigo. I don't hate ya, but there can only be one true waifu. And thanks to Gobro for recognizing that. This show is giving me anxeity lol. |
| really really AWESOME episode. and what's greater is that... The Waifu wars are finally over!!! tho.. still many questions unanswered. Goro Best bro! |
| Signature removed.AGAIN. |
| Everyone worried about Hiro rush to battlfield on traning suit but how many people care about Goro alone there without mech, good thing they pick up Goro. Why Goro just don't come along with both on them to Zero Two? just get him on the arm after Hiro gone he can go back to pilot it because there is still a lot of enemy. |
| Into the Internet! |
| "Protocol 32" ... Am I missing something here? I first thought it was "32" for "shi-ni" (look up "shinigami"), but then I remembered "shi" is 4, not 3. ...or does APE just not do number-wordplay? |

The plot hole is that goro got out and made hiro pilot even though past experiences taught him that hiro cannot pilot ichigo. How did he know it would work this time? Why not carry hiro and shove him inside 002? |
 |
| Surprised at how little people comment on the protocol 32 thing. We already knew that the other squads didn't really have much free will and that they were purposely designed to sacrifice themselves but still those were the first deaths we got from the show. Quite dark stuff. |

| Well... shit man... that was so nice and happy and... kind of disappointing. After that shit storm of last episode and that mess of an aftermath, I was expecting people to die here. But it all went smoothly. Best Boy Goro got Ichigo straight. Her and Hiro PROVED THAT THEY COULD RIDE TOGETHER If it was for 02 which in itself, and considering everything that happened last episode, is just hilarious. Hiro turned down Ichigo in a far better way than what words could have done. Oh and Hiro and 02 got that talk, but their screaming was kind of embarrasing to listen too. Plus, Ichigo uttered some truly beautiful lines this episode... "All of this boy and girl stuff is such a pain." "I'll let you have Hiro, so get your act together already!" It was all pretty happy... Up until the Hand of God came in all like "The F**K Yall Happy For!" and smashed stuff. So much for last weeks salt fest. So ummmmm... #NoneOfItActuallyMattered |

Two entire plantations were lost along with Squad 26 forced to suicide. Now then, the leaders did talk about some kind of backup so maybe everyone got uploaded into some kind of cloud. |

Okay like, I don't mean to be mean or anything, and I know it was kind of sad and all... but like... I REALLY Didn't care about Squad 26, at all... Like... They could have just been killed off screen and I would have been just the same. And I don't like the adults at all either, with the exception of that one old lady and Hana or whatever her name is, and the loss of a couple of plantations doesn't bother me much either as I don't know how many of those they actually have, but even then, they left the middle of Squad 13's. That being said though, the fact the adults are willing to sacrifice people like that is kind of bad and its probably something I should be thinking about. |
| A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| First of all, Goro is the best brother! for sure! Finally Hiro acted! He needs Zero Two, was a really good moment, we could see the sentimental Zero Two side, and she looked really cute this episode! Nice Hiro, you kissed her! Was a really intense fight and an intense episode, and what was the giant hand? I feel that Papa is doing bad things with Humans! something mysterious! |
 |
| Pretty disappointing episode. I'm sure a lot of people are going to eat it up due to the sappy feel good ending. Hopefully the show can finally move on from this retarded teenage romance drama and get on with the actual plot. |
| It's such a silly drama but I can't help but feel all emotional about 02 and Hiiro, lol. I'm glad they are back together now. |
| Awesome episode! Happy to see Hiro and Zero Two back together and they destroyed those Klaxosaurs in matter of seconds. Can't wait for next episode, I want to see what's going to happen after their base got wrecked. 5/5 |
| Hmmm.. i have a feeling that the twist is kinda the same in the story of Shinsekai yori and Qualidea Code. I hope not. That's a pretty overused twist already :( |
| Man, what a piece of shit this show is. Name me a single redeeming quality this title has that would put it above tons of trash series being churned out every season... Surely it was worth killing off Gainax to pair with a fucking A1 to make even more garbage, right? |
Ii tenki desu ne... |

rebelakuma said: Hmmm.. i have a feeling that the twist is kinda the same in the story of Shinsekai yori and Qualidea Code. I hope not. That's a pretty overused twist already :( While Shinsekai Yori indeed had the same twist it was a bit different with Qualidea Code because the main enemies were aliens for real. The whole deception thing was secondary. I wonder how this show will explain though. The "human experiment went wrong" twist is getting real old so I hope they'll come up with something creative. Although it seems to point to this anyway since it was noted that the Crevase looked manmade. |
| I do hope now that the overreacting shitstorm of Ichigo hate can at least die down after this episode. =/ After last week's hysteria, I'm glad that this episode delivered some exciting and tense action as multiple groups attempt to open up the huge dome, but the huge amount of klaxosuars, along with a massive one that looks like a Star Wars vehicle, starts to take out one of the plantations. So when it opened up Plantation 13, things really got intense. Hiro went yolo on his own, but was rescued by Ichigo, who did the right thing by taking him to Zero Two, ramming her mech's head into the wild Strelizia and reunited Hiro with Zero Two in scenes that had quite a surprising amount of emotional impact. You can tell from Ichigo's expression through her mech that she's a bit sad, but with Hiro and Zero Two reunited and confessed their feelings with each other, I'm hoping that Ichigo can move on and maybe hitch up with #MVP Goro at some point. =) Although the last seconds was unexpected and a freaking huge klaxosaur hand comes along and destroys almost all of plantation 13 and barely misses the whole group. Is the whole planet a klaxosaur now, I wonder, or is that just a bizarre guess of mine? |
| Not a bad episode, but I was kind of bored. Looks like things will pickup though. |
| Jaywalker. |
| Nice comeback Goro! Respekt! |
| They finally reunited, that was kinda touching, and the fight was best so far of all this show's episode. The strelizia evolved, in a kill la kill/TTGL way lol xD Those adults acts like SEELE, like as if what happens is all according to their plan, if thats the case we may get a similar eva despair next episodes. human inside the core? AoT vibe I guess |

| duh. Two human factions. One wanting a sterile world were some live practically forever and have no children, with children grown in test tubes and one that still believes in male-female coupling |
FrozenSheep said: Kaetokiha said: Maybe it's true, but it makes Dr Franxx statement seem very strange. If Hiro could keep piloting normally as long as he didn't sink too low mentally them there was no reason for Dr Franxx to say that. Unless Dr Franxx was referring to something else that we don't know. That's the beauty of anime original. We can actually speculate without some inconsiderate people coming in and spoiling everything. I do look forward to see what's going to happen. That is true. You don't have to deal with obnoxious people making personal attacks at others for not understanding a very vague reference to future events or the significance of a particular character or line. With those kinds it's as if people don't even have a right to show displeasure or doubt in the face of poor or suspicious writing. It's even worse when the source is supposed to be ongoing or won't be completed without another season or two and there is an incredibly strong chance of that happening even with shows that are given praise. Shows that had interesting plotlines or decent characters are never seen again after a 12 episode run. Now we're expected to switch mediums where there may have been a lot of retconning or things left out. And with that there's the bitching of "why didn't he say that line" or they left the part were X girl twitched or trembled or some subtle bullshit. Sad truth is a lot of works don't translate over well and the LNs don't seem to consider that when going to TV |
| I am probably the only one who thought a lot of drama material was wasted for the follow up to episode 14 |
aviggo77 said: I am probably the only one who thought a lot of drama material was wasted for the follow up to episode 14 You are right! Episode 15 should better had been... Episode 18-19 or something! |
giannis85 said: aviggo77 said: I am probably the only one who thought a lot of drama material was wasted for the follow up to episode 14 You are right! Episode 15 should better had been... Episode 18-19 or something! We should enter the main plot after episode 13, honestly |
 |
| and finally, it's coming closer to the truth. |
 |
| Rewatching the episode, you can see Ichigo clearly looking at Zero Two for three different times. And people said that her decision to change her mind was sudden and that what goro said doesn't make sense when they displayed that she was changing her mind during the episode but still conflicted. And of course, that without counting the time where she defended Zero Two of Nine Alpha. So yeah, she clearly care about 02 but what Nines said, after what happened between 02 and Hiro and her own love for him caused this problem. So yeah, what happened in the episode made entire sense. https://i.imgur.com/7WqUIjK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/I328PMB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xkCk5aO.jpg |
