Darling in the Franxx

So, who is this Liquid Snake looking guy and what's his squads goal?
Genetically inferior/superior clone of Hiro, his actual brother?

O

S A L T

Asspulls all the way to the end!
Mary Suetrelizia strikes again!

015 has lost to 02 for 016's affections. A new challenger appears!

>crazy theories and speculations all week
>episode is actually a boring 'power of love and friendship' cliche
they got pounded for like 3 minutes by that big thing and they came out with only a nose bleed

>every character has a double
>show becomes about selfcest piloting
I would like this

Kowaru or 9S.

How the fuck do they work with 9 pilots?
3 threesome robots?

Would the power-up been ok if instead of the cancer disappearing it would spread all over his body? He would still be alive.

Any possibility of Franxx being an original and interesting show thrown out of the windows - it is just cliche children cartoon with power of friendship

A boring fight with nothing accomplished except powering up an already OP character.

3/10

I’ve dropped the anime and am now only reading the manga

Are you new to speculah anime? Sup Forums tends to come up with more interesting shit than the people in charge of making these shows.

001.

>muh wings

Unironically this.

>9 iota
>In the system of Greek numerals, iota has a value of 10
>910 = 016
What did they mean by this?

>Something good happens
>Anons get mad because only bad things should be allowed to happen

>we are friends, you know? Why all the shitposting?

>Strelizia unleashes her final form with the power of love

>910 = 016
You what

>implying this isn't the best trope

fun episode with nice animation at least. yeye power of love but it was pretty obvious the series was going to be about that at least at one point based on the premise.

>>episode is actually a boring 'power of love and friendship' cliche
and fighting sequences weren't that great either, though ending shots with wings is kinda neat

Not far-fetched for this anime.

009

MY

>kissanime
Kill yourself.

Why is this show tries to do serious drama one episode and then resolves it with cartoony shit next episode?

Tbh I gave way more a fuck about the 26's in battle than the 13's

ONI

Fucking this.

Why the plantation spends resources in the other parasites when they just job and strelitzia saves the day anyway?

Just throw all your money and tech at the mary sue.

What we see a Hiro's clone. The original was very compatible, but died at some point and had to be cloned

look at it upside down

What's wrong with this?

I believe that is Nova-kun OP

NEN

thats not even its final form, its still at least got 3 love powerups to do

OH, MY RU

Hiro is not the real 016. He’s 910. Blondie is the real 016.

So when was the last anime with a straightforward story like that?

my only complain is that they ended the fight basically like ep 4 and that Hiro's cancer got sucked in like nothing happened. Punished Hiro would have been way better
also I hope the next ep is more about getting 02 to be more included in the group or at least get to some common understanding. Ichigo called out for her in the last minute so i guess there's some of that coming
also for fuck's sake I hope that the Ichigo drama is gone for good, concentrate on the other pilots for fuck's sake

OH

Reposting

>The trailers all hype this as another beta mecha pilot finds assertive dream girl that turns his world around
>turns out it's all a lie and the show is actually about the OverChad King Charlemagne, the darling of the franks who warps every other character through pure virile alpha masculinity
>Hiro is literally 002's assertive dream daddy
>femdomfags in full damage control
>"I-I can't self-insert into this"

The letter "X" has both horizontal and vertical symmetry

>Strelizia hit by a punch that shoots it kilometers away
>Repeatedly
>Literally nothing happens to the mecha itself

What is this expression conveying?

Nah. Strelitzia is definitely their strongest fighter, but the rest of the team did really well too. It was fine.

>my only complain is that they ended the fight basically like ep 4 and that Hiro's cancer got sucked in like nothing happened
>Implying it's really gone forever
You'll see

>also for fuck's sake I hope that the Ichigo drama is gone for good
I agree with this but we know it's not. It'll just be a bit of a backseat for 2 or 3 episodes

You're right. We should consider the exact hardness of this fantasy mecha made out of real materials that we totally understand.

>What is stakes
I guess Strelizia an achieve anything by kissing really hard

This was only the beginning of the rest of the team becoming a real team though of course Strelizia gets the main hit. It's the main, strongest, and most experienced robot

he's almost right

it's like some of you have never seen a super robot anime before...

I'M

The klaxasours have achieved fucking nothing so far

That best girl feel.

>Endlessly foreshadowed
>Asspull

Bokay

I thought for a second when Hero absorbed the cancer we were gonna get a cool shot of him with a horn. Instead we got nothing.

NANI?!

>color swap Hiro is already gay for 910(016) "Hiro".
>016 is super famous.

Hiro don't know this guy so we can speculate that the current Hiro is a clone right ?

There are no physical limits to that piece of shit apparently

i honestly dont see how you would defend this episode. progression in terms of characters are there but the way it was portrayed was unimaginative. this episode probably has the worst production value so far. the fight scene was uninteresting, the way plantation 16 squads cooperated in the end to make an opening for strelizia was so badly done, the battle music doesnt work at all, and thae scene where hiro managed to beat oni AIDS is literally shounenshit

I hope this isn’t true because that’s ridiculously stupid

>02's reaction when hiro hugged her from behind
she must have felt really happy knowing she finally found her wings.

I am so glad Hiro survived even though he will never choose me and I'll die alone because Goro raised a death flag by being a decent person

This is a nice touch.

Literally power of love and friendship.

How wet was 02 when she realized Hiro came back from the dead?

>Hmm, should we make Klaxosaurs actually threatening, yknow, to put some tension into the action?
>Nah, just have them die by the dozens with little effort and have their boss monster attacks do nothing

>i honestly dont see how you would defend this episode

If you like CGI action you like like it

i expected something unique from this episode.
klaxoraids gone lol
it was just a dragonball z second wind win

i dont like this guys.

I yelled really hard when they did

I don't think she even realised that Hiro died.

Kaworu was already gay for Shinji and Shinji was super famous as well.

>death flag
There will be no deaths in this show. Naomi didn't die. Squad 26 made it out in one piece.

So I’ve officially dropped the show today

Remind me when the porn comes out

I guess this episode proved that Darling is not going to do anything interesting or new. Lazy writing this episode. I’m still going to watch it because it’s entertaining but my expectations are significantly lower now.

I don't know how these kiddies can call this show good. It was actually "decent" until this episode. The blue cancer should have killed him, that would have been a proper plottwist. One of the shitties asspulls I've ever seen.

...

>a character questions why a shit group has two far superior parasites (015, 016) in them
>a not-Hiro appears who is familiar with Hiro
>not-Hiro is part of a group that has a not-Ichigo in it as well

So clones, right? All code-numbered parasites are clones or at least experimental tube children, right? These special kids wont have "xxx" style code names at all right?

...

What a load of hot garbage this was and the people liking it are confirmed for Sup Forumsermin.

Maybe she realized and though "eh, whatever, I guess he is a weakling, 'll just find a new one"

I'm pretty sure she did, considering she could feel the bond between them break and Strelitzia go back into stampede mode.

This is the first time we have seen 002 bleeding and struggling

For all the marysuefags at least we were given the impression of her getting fucked up and told through Hiro that she might die

Also if the blue stuff is Hiro become like 002, she must be able to control it an repress it, this could be Hiro learning to suppress it. Although I would have loved to see him go full monster and go nuts for a few minutes, now we might never see him turn into a blue guy

also
>Dr.Franxx might actually finally fucking explain what the hell is going on next episode

>Only goes nuts and stampedes when her partner is dead

She knew

>cancer canceled at the speed of love, fairy tail tier execution
>boring action
>the entire beginning is literally a worse version of a Geofront scene

Dare I?

>noone acknowledges Goro for anything
The life of a bro is suffering.

Is she even self aware in that mode though? It would be like being really drunk and out of control.

Are we just going to have copy pastas for the whole week?

The dudes at 1:09 of the OP look like Hiro clones

The thing goes into stampede mode when not connected so yeah she knew

braindead retards like this episode.

9S?

>They had to yell really hard to save the day

She was clearly just trying to survive and didn’t give a shit if Hiro was dead.

It's easy to think with your dick. I was a full on Onifag until the last couple episodes.

So who was he referring too?
