| @MatCap I was talking about people here and not the characters. People should get over this already. She was wrong but she is not a bitch or whatever else people are calling her. She was forced to make that promise by the circumstances as to not break their parasite relationship so they both can still pilot mecha and be useful. It wasn't love confession. They weren't a pair. No one got cucked. It was meant to happen. End of story. |
 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. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
Well, I strongly believe that if the boys and girls are well organized, they could all catch up and be very happy before they die... or not? xD |

| I'll go ahead and be late to the party too. I believe that this development was necessary overall, but it only happened in this manner because the writing was so poor. was important to the narrative they were trying to tell, and it was important that it was a human couple. This means the Hiro and 002 were out. Ichigo and Goro were kind of the pillars of the group, so they were out. Ikuno is...well...Ikuno, so she's out. Miku and Zorome were totally out as they were not mature enough to play that role. You are now only left with 3 characters, one of which is female. It can be argued that Futoshi is also too immature to play the role, so they had to do something to get Kokoro and Mitsuru together. Unfortunately this is a story written by Trigger, so the universe where Futoshi matures into an amazing character is out the window. Kokoro was an asshole for what she did, not because that is who she was, but because Trigger wrote themselves into a corner and needed to get Kokoro and Mitsuru together for the sake of the final 5 episodes. This is Trigger's MO. Viewers need to take the beer googles off and take a real critical look at Trigger's past works. Their style can be summarized into one phrase - "over the top". All of their series end as if the writers were all high and tripping balls. The story is always difficult to follow, and nothing is straight forward. This doesn't make the series "intelligent" or "complex". A good story is one that could be understood and enjoyed by all, and Trigger consistently fails to make the story easy to consume. This in turn makes their characters extremely weak since their character can change at the drop of dime to drive their strange plot forward. |
Username23489023 said: Yeah it does suck that they made the best girl commit to pairing then engage in adultery in the very same day. Ruined her, and now she’s just a meek whore instead of a moral character. Probably has to do with the 3rd wave feminazism that has been spreading. To him being gay, most likely. Koko just plays on his fantasy with 16 to get him to pilot. It’s innuendo to sex not sexual attraction or preference. Gay dudes can still fuck women. They are equipped, like all men, to do it. That’s why he was paired with lesbo, they are both homosexuals. Probably still the most compatible mentally with her, just that koko knows how to talk dirty to him. just found the dumbest thing ever written lol "adultery" , "meek whore" I can understand being fustrated if a character you like gets rejected/betrayed, and you have every right to dislike Kokoro, but how did she engage in adultery? She just switched partners, but first of all she wasn't married to Futoshi nor did she have sex with Mitsuru (or not right away lol). Also what does this have to do with feminisim? lol so many questions |
| You guys are acting like you've never made a mistake (specifically: break a promise) before... One mistake by Kokoro doesn't make her a bad person. She's human. Humans have flaws. Humans make mistakes. Humans hurt others. Humans are selfish. Humans are imperfect. Humans follow their emotions, just as you guys did to bash her. It could've been handled better, yes, I agree. But..those kids don't know things we do... If you forgot, she apologized right after she broke her promise. She's even guilty for it and admit it to Futoshi (Drama CD vol.3) and he moved on, he didn't dwell on it and I hope you guys too. Also, she didn't "cucked" him. They were never in a romantic relationship, and she promised to be his FRANXX partner, not his lover (though maybe at that time he meant that, but she didn't think of his promise the same way. Their feelings aren't mutual). I hope now that everything is cooled down you can see Kokoro from a different perspective, and look at her as a character beyond "breaking a promise". In my opinion, the most hated characters in this show (e.g. Kokoro, and Ichigo) are the most human. They are hated because they made a mistake, selfish and following their feelings and those are the things humans do. |

You pretty much nailed explaining the entire situation :) But don't get your hopes up, most people who had this extreme hate-reaction to what happened are your typical dudes who self insert into the next best male character (in this case Futoshi) and take stuff like Kokoro switching partners personal. It's pretty obvious once you see the replies here: "Just like real women!11 They just don't want the nice guy, even tho I was only nice because I wanted to get romantically/sexually involved with her! >:(" (Futoshi wasn't like that btw, he was genuinely nice). It's sadly common for some anime fans to have a temper tantrum when female characters, who never had romantic feelings, don't get with a male character who's interested in them (best example would be Naruto x Sakura or even Tai x Sora in Digimon). |

Thank you, and yes I think the people who hate on her projected into Futoshi too much , they're also putting her on a pedestal as a 'kind girl who can do no wrong' and when she did, their 'nice guy syndrome' is showing and the reactions are ugly. (But if they want to throw a tantrum about broken promise, why not relate with Mitsuru? Why Futoshi? Makes me wonder.) I know, I find the hate on Sakura ridiculous too. Y'know, there are many cases like this when "the girl has to get with the nice™ boy who's crushing on her. If she choose the "eDgY aSsHoLe" she's a bi t ch/th ot/ wh o re", like, wow the entitlement is real here. |
Thank you for your insight! I know and I agree, how she handled the broken promise isn't the best, and there are better ways to resolve it. Then again, she is but a 14-15 year old girl, who makes mistakes. To bash her and calling her names is kinda too much in my opinion. Especially since she is not a bad person at heart. I'm glad you didn't dwell on your hate, because really, she is more than a "promise-breaker". |
