Kokoro should have at least told Futoshi he was shit before she dumped him.
Tyler Scott
She could've said anything.
>"Futoshi-kun, now we're in the middle of a mission". >"Futoshi-kun, we don't know what will happen tomorrow, lots of parasytes die." >"Oh Futoshi-kun, stop joking around." and changed subject
But no. >Yeah, sure! I promise, Futoshi-kun". Then again, it was his fault that for not truly empathizing with her, not realizing what she really wanted and needed, and being generally a creepy, fat, overbearing loser.
William Miller
I wonder if the reason they made him so unlikable is so that nobody would mind when it happened
I'm surprised he's still alive, fat kids in military academy settings are worse than dogs in terms of death flagging
Angel Morgan
Could, should, whatever. That thing's all in the past now, and it's finally over for all of them. No need to pretend to be someone's idol girlfriend anymore.
ikuno episode next? Matoidropping the spoilers here.
And on top of that, we know that Mitsuru was rather rough when piloting Ikuno because he didn't give a shit about her well-being. The exact opposite of Futoshi who didn't take risks not to injure Kokoro.
Ikuno might have seemed like this episode's biggest loser, but she's the real long-term winner.
Everyone won, user. Everyone. Mitsuru will have his kokoro being healed by Kokoro. Futoshi's kokoro being broken by Kokoro will heal over time, and he will become a stronger and more mature person. Ikuno's kokoro can heal as well by simply having somebody like Futoshi to talk to and listen about, even if it's just months of sobbing and crying about his broken kokoro.
>It's contrary to the usual plot tropes when I actually want it to be Except that's wrong. The childhood friends always loses the MCbowl, and ends up with the best friends of the MC.
Franxx will break that shit so hard you'll be crying back to me when you realize that I'm right, and you're wrong.
>ikuno episode next? Hopefully. Her conflict wasn't really resolved in this episode. I don't think she is giving up on Ichigo for now. And Futoshi needs to get over " muh Kokoro" and move on.
Matthew Sanders
>Except that's wrong. The childhood friends always loses the MCbowl, and ends up with the best friends of the MC. Yeah, that's why Ichigo will loose. 02 is the "forgotten childhood friend" trope.
>02 is the "forgotten childhood friend" trope And it will be blown the fuck out, like Franxx has consistently done.
Kayden Brooks
>they look like brass knuckles and 02 looks like she's ready to punch somebody Cute
Parker Richardson
I mean, it's the stupidest trope. They met for like a and hour or a day/week and now the girl is in love with the guy? I mean, jesus christ, I blame Love Hina for popularizing this shit.
Blake Bell
My MitsuKoko folder steadily grows. Thanks, user.
Lucas Hall
>And it will be blown the fuck out, like Franxx has consistently done Again, this means that cuck guy Goro will win the Ichigobowl.
One of the best things this episode did was show that the government assigned pairing isn't necessarily the best and optimal one, and that the status quo can change.
Jordan Perez
Well, technically Hiro forgot the promise that he made with Mitsuru (and probably forgot everything about him too). Fuck, you might be onto something.
I just told you your very unlikely Goro and Ichigo pairing is a trope in itself. The "childhood friend who was always there for you" always ends up with the best friend of MC.
It's a form of "status quo", a image of stereotype that Franxx will destroy. You don't really think Dr. Franxx didn't plan all of this, right?
Dr. Franxx groping that bitch in the first episode is really a revolutionary act considering that people in this society rarely make contact with each other and get all their pleasure from VR.
Wouldn't be surprised at all if he groomed this team to rediscover sex and love to overthrow Papa.
Easton Price
>Can we have an Ikuno thread? Sure, why not Best girl
>1) Where's the TL? lrnnhonjin 2) When will Fatoshi put Ikuno's lady bits to good use? He already did. Piloting Franxx with a high-compatibility partner is established to feel good for both stamen and pistil, and Futoshi bossed this episode's fight and got Ikuno wetter than she ever did with Mitsuru. Now it's just a matter of time. 3) Will we have an Ikunocentric episode? Could be fun but I already miss 02 shenanigans. 4) Can we have an Ikuno thread? That's every thread. 5) Why are purple characters so rare if they're just the BEST? They just are.
He's most certainly letting them have their natural urges
Justin Ward
Is Kokoro the Sakura of our time?
Noah Torres
>You don't really think Dr. Franxx didn't plan all of this, right? ???? What the hell does the Doc have to do with all of this?
Jack Gomez
He planned most of this, all according to keikaku
Brody Richardson
The entire Franxx fandom knew that Kokoro would end up with Mitsuru since two months.

>Doc takes little Hiro to meet little 02, they quickly become super close despite her inhuman appearance, he tells her about Jian birds >Instead of being injected with Klaxo-blood extract like Mitsuru was Hiro the "special sample" had klaxo-tissue directly implanted in his body >Doc had both of them working perfectly in a FRANXX simulator with no YBC issues. >He wanted to use them to prove peaceful coexistence with the klaxos is possible or something
>Papas find out what the Doc has done with their expected future ace pilot and SHUT IT DOWN >both kids get mindwiped, Hiro blank eyes to Mitsuru and 02 becomes obsessed with finding her "dahling" >Unexpected side effect: Hiro can't pilot with normal girls >Years later they subconsciously recognize each other at P13 >Piloting with 02 again reawakens the dormant implanted flesh, which grows to give him more YBC

Easton Edwards
Something like that.
But instead of Dr. Franxx bringing Hiro to 02 and willingly experimenting on them, I foresee something like "Hiro was brought to stop a berserking 02 because of his MAD social skills, they hit it off and promise to run away, escape their cages someday."
Josiah Sanchez
>Piloting with 02 again reawakens the dormant implanted flesh, which grows to give him more YBC A lot of headcanon there, but if there's one thing I can agree with it's that. Hiro's special ability is making YBCs.
Since you refuse to stop sprouting your faggotry you leave me no choice >Michlan loses 40% of his money on crypto, on a day, on the crypto board months ago >he posts a vocaroo of him crying and shouting
Mitsuru was such a shitty, rough, violent, inconsiderate pilot with her that this episode is the first time Ikuno experienced some real high-compatibility Franxx piloting.
The only problem I have with the mindwipe theory is that it would make it exceedingly strange for APE to let them pilot together and live together now if they were such 'troublemakers' that they warranted a memory wipe when they were just kids. Wouldn't they keep them far away from one another as a matter of case, especially once Strelizia starts doing weird shit like sprouting wings and Hiro doesn't die? If APE knew they were a problematic combination, wouldn't they split them up once they start doing strange/unprecedented shit?
Excuse me but mahou shoujo's are only for pure hearted girls
Ayden Sanchez
Zero Tsu!
David Garcia
>Possible Yuri arc??????
Not on your life
Jaxson Cooper
Then why is 02 there as well.
Jace Reed
How unsurprising.
Thomas Gutierrez
The real question has yet to be asked. Why did Kokoro request the partner change? Was it to get away from Fatman, to make babies with Milkman, or both? And if both, what percentage of each was it?
Poll is pointless. It's Zero Two and not even close. Just make a poll without her and have us argue who the second best girl is.
Ryder Jones
>Dat ass
Well Kokoro does have the best ass, so par for the course that her robot would have the best robot ass.
Kayden Nguyen
She would have probably changed even if other than Fatoshi was her partner, she just want the Mitsuru.
Benjamin Lopez
Maybe Papa thinks he can control them now for his own purpose
Adam Diaz
>Well Kokoro does have the best ass Gonna need some proof
Daniel Price
the 2-4 places are pretty close
Henry Richardson
Damn this is so depressing. At least Fatoshi can ride with another girl but Ikuno will never experience pistol x pistol action ever again cause the system is rigged in favour of guy x girl pairings.
Jose Scott
>poll from 3 weeks ago Kokoro would be number one now.
Colton Parker
APE probably wanted to reuse HIro's super potential, unfortunately he demonstrated that he can neither sync with a normal girl like Naomi or an elite girl like Ichigo.
Once they broke orders and piloted together and Hachi reported back to APE, they figured they might as well make some use of him.
She wanted to be with Mitsuru because she fancies him, because her motherly nature makes her want to take care of Mitsuru, because she wasn't that happy with Futoshi, because she trusts Futoshi to be able to take care of himself anyway, and because she's fed up with with her old image.
Logan Baker
fucking keked
Grayson Walker
What's the point in putting 02 as option? It is obvious to all that she carries 90% of this dumpster fire all alone so majority will vote for her, but without her in poll we could have seen more opinion on all others.
Aaron Flores
It was during the crash where everything was down like 40 to 50 percent. he posted a vocaroo of himself shouting Speaking of which, the bitcoin markets are crashing right now.
Jordan Reed
Ikuno should convince Dr. Franxx to make Franxx cockpits that involves two pistils. >dr. Franxx then spins the idea further and makes a FranXX combine module where all the pistils and all the stamens ride together for the ultimate ubersentai mecha
Gavin Morales
Again? Fucking hell I hope it crashes completely (which won't happen).
Christian Long
>>Can we have an Ikuno thread?
By all means, but please post lots of Ikuno pictures. The more lewd the better.
