Ooh, Zero Two looks cute with that hair accessory. She and Hiro are closer than ever now.

On the other hand, there's also Mitsuru who seems to getting along with others better now including Hiro too. I also wonder what a Paradise really means in their world.

The Nina Alpha guy is also really outspoken. Damn, those last few minutes were thrilling especially with the mysterious character making her move. Mitsuru and Kokoro's embrace too :o

This episode number is 17, and the number of roses correspondent to the episode implies "marry me", Which the episode Definitely symbolized that!

(Actually i started a post about darling in the franxx and the number of roses but is it illegal to advertise another disscussion forum here?)

I think I do according to Kazu-kun. Apparently seeing as Kokoro and Mitsuru did "that", he's gotta die. I don't know until I see in later episodes, but that's what he thinks.

It's a good thing I never cared about this shipping stuff. Still, I do pray that Futoshi overcomes his insecurities and one day find that girl. Episode was good though. Hiro is starting to grow horns, which will keep growing overtime I presume. Loved the talking between Hiro and Mitsuru, and the latter's realization that he likes Kokoro. Zorome busts in an an awkward time. Ikuno slaps Nine Alpha, in the face. Of course what Kokoro was checking into seems to be forbidden, which led to some reprimands that ended with Nana's memory coming up after some words. There's more to it but I want to keep it short. So I don't even have to say about what happened in the last few seconds of the episode. Soon, everyone will know.

So many stuffs happened, like Hiro growing horns wasn't surprising enough but Mitsuru and Kokoro finally did it! why they gotta skip it tho? I ASK FOR DOUJINS! hope the manga doesn't skip it, in Yabuki sensei we trust!
Kokoro thirst got real.
Anyways, the green haired nine's VA... that's fucking Ayane Sakura!!!! I knew it was her after the ep when they were inside the frankxx too.

Because we don't have ecchi and seinen tag. But as you said, we can see it in manga version.

I cringe at the "fuck this teenage drama shit" or "Kokoro is a whore/thot" comments. Seriously, it's really just the perks of growing up for these kids....especially since they were never really informed of the norms of the society in the past.

This latest OP foreshadows a lot of ideas that can be interpreted in various ways. These are some but aren't limited to. We see instances where Zero Two and Hiro are trying to "connect", if you may, but are being separated, as you see, they dissappear when they attempt to hold each other's hands. So it is safe to say, in my opinion that there is an unknown "force" or "variable" that is trying to separate these two for unknown (yet) reasons. I believe one of those potential person is "Nine", a former squad member of Zero Two before she entered Squad 13.

Also, at the ED, there was this mysterious girl, will she turn out to be a species similar to 02?

That was certainly 'eventful' in more ways than one.

The Nines clearly know a lot, perhaps even about the real history of humankind considering they recognized what Kokoro was reading about.

Kokoro x Mitsuru set sail I suppose, expecting them Doujins soon. XDD
That said, Kokoro's feeling of wanting to leave something behind is a far more relatable train of thought as compared to the plethora of drama we've had upto this point so in my opinion this was definitely one of the better episodes of the show.

Mitsuru's a man now. xD

This episode was pretty strong. Not gonna lie. I did have some cringe moments. But it took me a while to understand it. I mean these kids do not know a thing about old past lives on how Humanity does things. And the reason for that it is the All Father keeping shutting up about it. Eventually secrets would get revealed later. That is karma in fact.

After the soft reset its nice seeing Zero become more human. It was sweet seeing the interactions between Hiro and Zero. So the nines were sent to act as papa's watchdogs after all. Kokoro's response to the nines though was surprisingly deep. The revelations about the sexual organs and Nana though were interesting. Thinking about the future though is something that papa will never allow i don't think. An interesting episode that provided a lot of interesting revelations about not just their beliefs but their teachings as well. The look into the klax side though was welcome. Still its nice that despite her pain that Kokoro was able to become a pair with Mitsuru.

HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED

Now we're getting into the good stuff. I just want to know what happened to humanity and why Papa forbid knowledge of human reproduction. A lot of great revelations with the Klaxosaur princess and Ape. Now we know that they knew about her all along and that the Klaxosaurs have a human-like leader.

This episode was awesome.

It confirmed some things we already suspected. Nines are basically PAPA's dogs. The members of the APE council aren't real humans and probably not most adults either. Dr FranXX has a separate agenda from the APE council.

The klaxosaur princess is seriously badass. I'd rather see squad 13 join her against APE.

Calling it now, the Klaxosaurs were the real humans (evolved) all along. Hiro finally got his horns, it will be nice seeing everyone lose their shit over it when they get noticeably bigger later lol. Some Klaxo princess carnage was nice too. Also yeah, Mitsuru and Kokoro from 0 to 100 real quick. Fuck the Nines... Hope that Nana and Hachi will smash too.

What an amazing episode.

This is getting pretty interesting. Love these last's eps developments. Now I wonder what's up with Nana, she seemed to have some memories on her past.

I've also wondered, when ''Blonde Nine'' said, that they're not like humans having feelings..does that mean, they're basically animals or maybe even neutered?

So currently only ones without developments are Zorome x Miku development + Ikuno. Next episodes are gonna be good, looking forward.

EDIT: Also seems like Nana and Hachi are somehow acting weird, like they're being exploited or smh, I dunno what to think about Dr. FranXX. Once he seems like a good guy on the other hand pretty evil.

How everything suddenly became complicated... Nines turned into an analogue of the Spanish Inquisition and school alpha bitches, Kokoro into orator of heterosexuality, and Ikuno throws hints at her own homosexuality at every turn. And I'm not talking about the too-fast introduction of Big Bad at the end.

I somehow missed the point where Darling turned into an anti-SJW version of Evangelion.

Truly amazing and train-wrecking episode.

Hiro started to grow horn (blue-oni theorist is happy now) while Kokoro and Mitsure development is a bit unexpected.
As expected nines are annoying and blind. But the emotion indoctrination, one-gender idea and forbidding reproduce makes me angry, even though i already expected this.
But klaxosaur princess is badass and the "castle" looks nice.

I'll probably offend a few people here, but that just proves you're part of the toxic people/whiners.

I'm getting tired of these toxic/stupid people who keep raising deadflags (while there are obviously NONE, stop whining. Not all animes end in drama and despair).

And comments like "I hope Ichigo dies" / "I hope Kokoro dies". You obviously do not understand anything.

Kokoro had NO FEELINGS for Futoshi or whatsoever. They were NOT a couple either. These kids are exploring a lot of new things concerning love, friendship and other emotions. While all these things happened, she obviously started to feel attracted to Mitsuru.

Deal with it, stop whining or write your own show if you think you can do better.

I am impressed by this show and actually hoped the studio would throw a huge middlefinger to all those whiners who can't deal with the story and events.
