| Our Mc grew a pair and this was quite pleasant to watch. It is not like he has other choices. 02 is like succubus. It seems that this team is really worth nothing without 02 and Hiro. Every time they fight they are getting owned so hard. Are they really that bad? |
| The two of them really are meant to ride together. But I'm still really curious about Zero Two's real identity and who the hell is this papa? |

MistLiigh said: Finally, this is the first episode that was really enjoyable on the literal level and not just the metaphorical level. So glad to see them stepping up their game, I hope this continues. I'm just hoping Hiro and 02 ignoring orders this episode doesn't revive the vitriol that took over last week's episode discussion... Seriously, be nice to each other, even if you think the other person is an idiot (no matter how right or wrong you are) doesn't make it okay to attack them instead of actually discussing the issue. On a note that I find more interesting... Anyone else think this Klaxosaur looking a lot like one of these might have something to do with their place in the metaphor? Still not 100% what that is yet, but I'm convinced it's going to be important to that metaphor's development.  I thought the same thing when I saw it, lmfao. |
| "I have to work harder than anyone else to make it! I'll never catch up otherwise...! I want to be like you...! Like you. The strongest hero."" |
| No wonder guys are drooling over 02. She keeps going, "Darling! Darling! All I nees is my darling!" They're living vicariously through Hiro receiving all this love from a hot girl and it's pathetic. It never happens in real life so this series is an animated adaptation of their deepest fantasies which may never come true. Hiro is still a fucking wuss. Probably the worst MC for an Anime series for 2018. 02 is fucking hawt but her personality is disgusting. I'm sure the guys who have a raging boner for her also love girls like Yuno Gasai and think it's absolutely A-OK for them to kill off everyone as long as the two live happily ever after. Barf. And yes, Hiro's "feeling like I can go deeper in you" is blatantly sexual. You's have to be blind not to notice that. Kill la Kill had lots of fanservice and straight out perversion so, no, you're not imagining sexual innuendoes their piloting these mechas are supposed to simulate copulation and intercourse. |
| 臭い- |
| Pretty intense episode and with a great resolve if you ask me in the end! Looks like that mess is now cleared with and I do wonder what will happen next, but I do feel like this is only going to get better! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| FINALLY!!! Hiro and Zero 2 has finally become one once again inside the mech! Slap those numbers and statistics to 'Papa' and his advisors and see how they'll react to such a perfect combination! What Zero 2 did and said to Hiro in the bath really helped to make Hiro have a solid resolve to ride with her. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) The amount of dialogue that has completely different meanings (when taken out of context) is damn high! Mitsuru should suck it up and admit that Hiro is his hero. |
  |
| That was so cliche and cringey ffs |
 |
| Things started to get heated. Zero Two refuse to obey her superior and took Hiro inside the Strelitzia. That should show the other parasites who's boss. Hmmm, what is it that makes Hiro special? Does he have klaxosaur blood in him too? |
 |
| right hiro admitting his feelings were wholesome, and zero 2's entrance through the glass was 10/10 after that seeing Strelizia in action was HOT that cheeky ass grin from zero 2 passing ichigo tho |
 "yabe." |
| i hope the show eventually offers explanation for some of the illogical nonsense I've suffered through in the last few episodes. Why won't they let zero pilot her mech? Why is she so attached to Hiro who she barely knows? If she's so important to the mission, were the soldiers really prepared to kill her? Seems like she just does as she pleases...how did they control her up to this point? I'm afraid they're never gonna bother answering these questions. |
 |
| And here I thought they would all have to go to the front lines already, seems like without Zero Two they really can't defeat anything though. |
| Give me more Bathroom scene |
| "I can feel myself expanding inside of you" ... |
 |
| Hiro while riding -with- 02 “I can feel myself going deeper inside of you”, God, even the dialogue. |
| This episode was so extraordinarily cheesy it made me sweat in burning spanish shame for Hiro and 02. And I like it. |
| I am getting the impression that this show may truly be about the waifu and not about anything of substance. 7/10 so far. I am having this morbid curiosity to see if this show falls on its face at some point given its notoriety. Hiro did spout some cheesy stuff to get Zero Two to stick around but worked out for them. I just hope the other pairs get better, don't want them to be so worthless for very long. |
 |
| wewwww so glad to see hiro stepping up. great episode!! personal enjoyment is definitely at 10/10 hoping to see a good fight where it isn’t always strelitzia coming to their rescue |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| OMG LOVED THIS EPISODE. zero two is just amazing, and I am happy for hiro. :) |
 |
| Surely he wont die after the next time he pilots, right? |
 |
| Really really love this series. I'm glad I gave it a chance to watch it. I can't imagine later episodes. I'm glad Hiro got a chance again to prove himself once more. I was expecting Zero Two to kiss him again 😂 |
| okay i finally can see why this has the hype it has- im getting so into it |
No matter who much you regret or wish, if you couldn't do something in life, you can't do it after death, either. - Hanako |
| Woah, what is this ending!? I really like that song and these beautifully animated scenes - amazing job! How could i not pay more attention to that during the previous episodes..?  So far, the backstory doesn't excite me that much. Maybe i will keep watching only because of characters like Hiro, Ichigo, and Zero Two, but i'm totally fine with that. |

| Okay the wait was worth it. Hiro finally took charge of things and rode with 002. This episode may possibly be the best episode for this series. That 'darling' though...🥵🥵 Loved the fight sequence too. I think 002 just smirked at Ichigo lol |
 |
| Well Hiro And Zero 2 did it....They could fight in Sterilizia with any issues |
| I think Mitsuru had it coming he knew what he was dealing with he just wanted to show off to Hiro prob the result he didn't have in mind That bath scene Zero Two just forcing herself to come in, I mean come on Hiro wouldn't let her leave can he, I always feel like they might trip while running holding their hands like that makes me uncomfortable in a way Finally, we have an idea what happens inside but I'm curious why the other partners get so injured badly, Or maybe they're just that compatible with each other I can't say for sure. |
  |
| Ah! What an episode this was. Happy to see 002 and Hiro going out into the field again. The OST, especially the ED are favorite to me. But still the major annoying part is the provoking way of dialogue writing. The dialogues are filled with innuendos galore! I can do nothing but crackup when those abhorrent lines recur time to time which succeeds in digressing from the mood of the anime. The overall vibe of this anime give me God Eateresque feel to it, sans these annoying innuedo filled dialogues. I am eager to know how much spoiling this show can transport me into. PS: Time to ride the Franxx and feel deeper inside! XD |

| Keep watching. And pay very close attention to everything. You will find a lot to appreciate in this show. Its an amazing Sci-fi animation with some very intense moments and ideas. Don’t mind the innuendos, but if it needs explaining I can tell you that they eventually do. |
| "I can feel myself going deeper inside you!" - Hiro This anime really doesn't skimp on the blatant innuendo, lol. |
  ｲ乇刀乇乃尺ﾑ乇 ㊎   ㊰☽ Shaded Horizon ☾ |
| Well without a doubt they are a match for each other lmao |
 |
| I can ride with Zero Two for sure if I were there. I am insane and demonic! I wonder what's wrong with Hiro and why he can't ride with other girls. Or can he only do it with single-digit chicks like Zero Two? Their leadership pisses me off by refusing to use all their resources, such as Zero-Two. They remind me of the higher-ups in my company. |
| ok this was an OK anime episode. This anime is overrated atm |
 |
| DAMN that was some fucking romantic sexual healing shit, best episode yet for sure |
