Winter Darling in the FranXX

Well that wasn't the warm and happy reunion that I wanted...Ichigo just had to get in the way, but Zero Two's attitude didn't help her cause at all. Hopefully this gets resolved in the next few episodes.

 

That was my problem with episode as well, to much of the drama felt forced. It was like the writers were trying their hardest to make sure those two would go through more suffering until they can finally have their true heartfelt reunion. I honestly hope they don't drag this out over 3-4 episodes.

 

Especially when we haven't even reached on the main plot, aka Papa, the APE, and the adults who imo are the real villians of this series. A staff member said that episode 15 is going to be an episode of similar level to episode 13,so here's hoping that this conflict is resolved then.

 

Preview for episode 15


Rough translation (016 speaking):

You and me are Alone and Lonesome
The wing that I tore apart myself
Flying ever again is out of my reach
Far and away I am heading towards a haziness
The days that you were there
Every time I dreamed of spreading my wings towards that sky

The episode title is "Hiyoku no Tori" which means Happily Married Couple.

Looks like they will resolve this and Hiro and Zero Two will reunite again, for real this time.

 

Man that episode was fantastic! The action was great, it was cool to see the nines flex their muscles(they appear to be an all male squad too, which is unique on top of having horns like Zero Two), the APE in Papa are ******* brutal using squad 26 and entire plantation for suicide attacks, it looks like the theory going around that klaxosaurs are originality created from people is accurate(more shady stuff from the APE), Ichigo finally coming into terms that she can't compete for Hiro's heart and finally letting him go was nice development, Hiro and Zero Two's reunion was beautiful(the flashbacks of Zero Two trying to hold on to those memories of Hiro were precious and sad at the same damn time) they were able to apologize to each other and confess their love(accompanied with a badass mecha transformation, and the new upgraded Strelizia looks OP af btw). So much happened in this episode and still trying to take it all in, not to mention that cliffhanger at the end. Anyways, it looks like the real story is going to start here.

Edit: Can't forget to give a s/o to Gobro, he's the best friend everyone needs.

 

Zero Two is wearing squad 13's uniform. Look forward to seeing how we get to this point.

 

I think I've watched these scenes a dozen times already

 

Preview for episode 16


Futoshi speaking

The birdcage is still here.

And so are we.

The people we were supposed to protect aren't there anymore and our wings are still being repaired, but we believe that the ten of us will all be able to fly again soon.

Until then, we'll make it through on our own.

Episode 16, Days of ours

 

Goddamn, death flags everywhere. This show really likes making me nervous...love Zero Two's character development though.
