| Wow, they couldn't even go a full episode without being with each other lol. I'm very happy for their reunion, but not gonna lie, it was kinda cringe when they were just screaming each other's names, and the whole "I love you" thing. It's quite different than that usual cold aura/vibe we get from Zero Two most of the time. Like in the past episodes, whenever she talked about how Hiro is her darling and what not, she still had this really cool aura she gave off, but now, the only sort of vibe I got from her was just pure innocence, so it caught me off guard. Nonetheless, I'm glad they are back together. |
 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| an amazing follow up from the last 2 ep, amazing battle and the transformation reminded me of kill la kill as in it was super similar the mostions and all and yeah i know made by same people but yeah, also goro once again shows why he's awesome but this was a great end to the first half of the series so now to wonder whats gonna happen next even deeper secrets like the cores and people in them im guessing those are the people that disappear gets turned into them or something anyway love this series i can already tell the second half is about to be crazy |

| "one step at a time" |
| Ichigo finally let Zero Two have Hiro, excellent episode. Curious to see what’s brewing with Papa and how he sacrificed a whole plantation, and the inside of a core looking like a person, Series is getting extremely good! |
 |
| After the shitstorm ]this episode was WELL handled.. |
| I like Zero Two when she's actually being helpful. |
 |
| Felt like I missed an episode. Ep 14 gave me depression so I expected at least 1 ep with them sepparated and only in ep 16 or so reunited. This caught me off guard. Still happy though. Hiro loves his kiss of death, hope he'll get the sexx of death too. |
    |
| Epic episode and reunion, really strong character development and action in general! One thing really stuck to me and I was already wondering, are the enemies they're fighting human made, aliens or what are their origins exact? Especially when that core cracked open and that they found a human like form inside that really got me thinking. And I do just wonder if this isn't just a global war they're fighting with their own advanced technology? Well looking forwards to see what's next. |
 |
| Okay. So, how was the entire fight inside of their home plantation the least tense moment of the whole episode? Oh yeah, because they've never given us a reason to care about this place in particular, or any place for that matter. On top of that, the whole team is just chit chatting and sitting still for extended periods while they shuffle pilots. They talk about how they've never killed this many Klaxosaurs before, but it doesn't feel like it's really a life or death scenario, especially without any music that could otherwise help set the tone. I guess this is a more "artsy"episode? I'm a huge fan of shows that play their theme songs during epic moments, so this should have been the most bombastic one I've witnessed so far... But it wasn't. I'm a stickler for watching openings and endings so I can associate those songs with the feelings I get from the show, but when I can only associate the song with hating myself for watching the series, it really just drives home how even this action climax doesn't do anything fo rme. At least the big hand was gnarly. |
 |
| Ichigo's mecha can regen? Ok then.... I mean, this was ok and all, but its kinda funny that this group is pretty much responsible for the countless off screen deaths that occurred in this episode by keeping Hiro and Zero Two from making up last episode. |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| YESSSSS!!!! FINALLY!!! [b]HIRO & ZERO 2 ARE NOW TRULY AND LITERALLY REUNITED!!![//b] From the increasing desperation, both of them have as the battle rages on... Until when Hiro's determination pushes himself to meet Zero 2 no matter what. Followed by them both finally confesses what they think of each other and how they felt towards each other. FUCKING AMAZING!!! The voice acting when Hiro and Zero 2 reunited in Strelizia is goddamn beautifully realistic! That just makes that scene more emotional! To top all of this off, their new majestic red Strelizia literally obliterate the whole of this scrubs' nest and the action scenes with the vast difference of scale between the already huge FranXX and the big ass klaxosaur, all of this makes an awesome action scene. Respect for my man Goro for stopping Bitchigo from stopping Hiro to meet Zero 2. On the other hand... Do you listen to that huh, Bitchigo? Hiro and Zero 2 has confessed their love and everyone knows now! You're in no place suitable to be his lover beside being a close friend, so STFU! Though at least you're happy for them both. The elites are REVERSE PILOTING!? |

|
| Within the context of this series this episode was pretty impressive. I still can't help but feel Hiro & Zero Two don't really love each other, but that their own existence depends on the other. |
 |
| zero two is pretty cool when she isnt acting like a monster |
| Well, it was like: "Oh no, people hated our last episode so we need to rehabilitate with some romantic positive in next one!". Pretty pathetic way of direction when episodes changing mood so fast, like it wasn't enough to change a style of anime every 6 episodes. We had here two destroyed cities and platoon of kamikaze but no one cares about it since main focus was on "lovely birds" TM: typical thot "she had a bad past, really" and mister "Remember nothing... Oh, now I remembered, wait a minute, you became a real monster, Zero Two!" It feels like this anime was made by some amateurs (maybe it really was a second tier anime team full of novices behind a big name of studio). |
| retracts fodder comment drops arrogance confession kiss 10/10 romance |
 |
| ok now that, that was fucking beautiful. I honestly don't know if it was because of how amazing Hiro and Zero Two's reunion was, or how they finally got to talk after having their memory share either way that was so beautifully well done and executed. There confession they had inside Strelizia was very heart warming and probably the ice breaker for me, there was some sort of relieving factor that the two are finally together and that (for me) was because we now understand how much they both changed after meeting one another and pretty much understood what each other meant to them. but real mvp here is Goro, finally snapped and put some sense into ichigo before she literally killed someone with nothing but her shit character development |
 "yabe." |
| Well good to see that they got back together, seems like even Ichigo will accept it now. Wonder if Goro has any chance now. |
| Time to Hiro show up... |
| Classic, a protocol that involves blowing themselves up for "the greater good" Disposable like they've made clear so many times before :/ I like that some of the FranXX pairs switched up places though. So we were right, humans ARE Klaxosaurs, this is what happened to Zero Two aswell most likely. She got extracted from the core of a Klaxosaur and was raised to be human like like shown to us before. This was a beautiful episode, satisfying af to watch! Seeing Hiro and Zero Two get back together into their confession and the new form of their FranXX |
 |
| This was a fantastic episode, absolutely redeeming episode 14 that came before it. I wonder what's the deal with the giant hand ta the end. |
| This would be a great episode if it wasn't built on the absolute shit episode that was the previous one. Therefore I just can't give any praise here as the problem that needed this joyous resolution should never have occurred in the first place. I do wonder if now the team will start to question the actions of the "adults" after what they've witnessed. I doubt it but maybe. |
 |
| Dang it this show is driving me mad. I don't dislike it, really not, but it's driving me mad nonetheless. At first it was cheesy and all but it had some kind of simplicity that made me have sympathy for it. But now it is becoming pretentious. First of all, why do they feel the need to use the typical imagery from "psychological" shows, like the characters' thoughts appearing randomly on the screen with stuff like "Who am I" ? Come on, even in a psychological show it comes off as pretentious, so here I don't see how it could've worked. It just makes it look like we're dumb and incapable of understanding what are the characters thinking. And honestly, since when is this show a psychological one ? Since when did it decide it had enough legitimacy to be one ? Like, who do these guys think they are ? Because what makes it ridiculous is how all the "psychological" stuff is actually just cheesy drama in a shiny package. It is pretty clear that all these guys are doing is taking stuff from other shows, shows that actually are psychological ones, and then mix it all, but actually have no idea of how psychology really works. I mean, just look at Zero Two's arc. On paper, it is a good one. But what it really is is just a mix of other, better arcs, with an attempt to make it look deep when it really isn't because those guys are just mimicking other shows without actually knowing what they're doing. Seriously though. "Don't look at me ! Aren't you afraid of me ? I'm a monster !" That's so easy. That's so easy to use those lines because it can always work. It can always sound like it's deep, and like the character is super complex and tragic. But in order to make a real complex and tragic character, you have to give them a real psychology and a real personality, not just throw in all those prefabricated lines. Come on, even Disney did it better with Frozen, and I'm not a Frozen fan. Plus, I mean, is that really how this "Zero Two is going wild" arc ends ? We got like, 4 episodes showing Zero Two gradually going insane for we don't really know which reason (yes I know the reason the show is trying to give, but it doesn't explain everything, far from it), going even more insane due to Hiro being separated from her (which actually could've made for a great arc), and then calming down because Hiro is back and now since they're together there's no issue whatsoever ? ARE THEY KIDDING ME ?! I put my trust in them and they just shattered it to the ground, just like that, these monsters... No but seriously, I feel cheated on. Plus, can we just talk about this message for one second ? Basically, it's telling us to cling onto someone else instead of trying to discover ourselves as individuals. What a good message, so inspiring ! Eh eh... And I really could write pages and pages to explain why I am so mad at Zero Two's arc but I don't wanna spoil you guys' fun so I'm just gonna shut up. I hope the last 9 episodes will be good... |

| This is really starting to make my head hurt.... in a good way. The whole romance situation in this anime is just sad, very few of the characters will get who they want, and have to see another member of the squad with the person they are in love with. This episode itself was beyond amazing, Hiro and Zero 2 are cute af together and are the best partners. I feel really bad for Ichigo but I feel even more bad for Goro. |
 |
| Well it was an amazing action packed episode! Also Strelizia's red coloured form was pretty cool. Looks like this wasn't the biggest klaxosaur yet. This one was an ant compared to that enormous hand. Also that squad 9 Alpha....why was 'he' in that pistil position?? Also Klaxosaur cores have babies?? Don't tell me that's how babies are born here. |
 |
| Hiro is finally with Zero Two....They're both so good....They easily took care of that Huge Klaxosaur... |
| A very different situation without Zero Two and Hiro piloting Strelitzia The plantation got infiltrated with klaxosaurs and the defense is pretty bad and it's coming in fast Ichigo saw what Hiro's memories are and it's full of Zero Two's which she should've expected that and thankfully the two linked together and fought off the invasion, Although what was that giant hand. |
  |
| Goro is the best one he doesn't even think much just gave hiro his franxx and I feel so bad for ichigo but she also helped hiro to meet zero two . It would be great if ichigo and hiro were together but after seeing their reunion (hiro& 02) and their childhood it felt good And there is one more thing that's in the middle of fight from the Klaxosaur core there is an human shaped structure is that mean all Klaxosaur's are humans ?? |
| Pretty decent episode. PS: Goro is one awesome fellow to be honest. |
 |
| So Hiro and 02 forgot because their memories were erased. Not at all convenient for the script, right? Another rubbish episode, just like all the others. |
| The ending to this episode was so cloyingly mushy and sentimental that I think some of my organs were replaced with candy. Doesn't necessarily mean I hate it though, since I think it made everyone get the memo as to what the true pairing is here. The klaxosaur core looking human isn't something to be glossed over. So many implications there. |

| The Nine's FRANXX look badass and sexy! The human-looking figures inside the core are an interesting revelation. I wonder what's going on. That explains why Hiro can't control other Pistils for too long. He can only be 02's pilot ever since he licked her wound. I wish my blood were blue. It looks less disgusting that way. Haha Has Ichigo truly given up on Hiro? Ichigo and Gorou are good for each other. That was a touching reunion between Hiro and 02. Nice KISS of DEATH! What's up with that bigass hand in the end? I'm intrigued. This reminds me of how things kept getting so big in Gurren Lagann. |
