You're right when you say Hiro is innocent and 02 is thinking dirty. Both examples are normal in real life too. I don't see it as going out of hand.

Peace.
as in - the show is constantly using lines and even whole scenes that could be read as and translated to sexual intercourse between pilots - and now the pilots start talking about it in a more direct manner too, both knowlingly (or maybe not), and unknowingly.
I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean?Both examples are normal in real life too
It's not like I'm denying them a joke... or something? It wasn't even really meant as a negative point... more like a remark about the fact that this show is full of such comments and not even subtle about it (anymore) now.
in a way, if you want to read sense into this, 02's comment is actually rather important and explains, or rather confirms, what piloting a franxx means to her. It's basically sexual intercourse and she knows it.

I thought you meant they overdid it and it became ridiculous or unbelievable.
Peace.
So, did they (the old council) just not believe he was unscathed last time, or is this some other turn of events that wont have the two deserters being punished? Maybe they still will be? I find it odd that his riding the Franxx with her a second time to be what 'changes things'.
Also, teacher lady seems to especially not like 02.
First time was a fluke that was too risky to repeat because 02 was too valuable to "contaminate" (impregnate!). Second time was unintentional but proved first time wasn't a fluke.
Adults hating children... As if 02 didn't remind me of Evangelion (Asuka) enough.
Peace.
I think I'm getting used to the Franxx moe faces. Maybe it's because in some ways these vehicles are so out there that they don't even evoke the usual "these designs don't make any sense" feeling in me after repeated exposure. Who knows, maybe that was an intentional point.
It's a good thing the MC dude grew some balls. It would be nice if he really slowly died during this story. Not after just three fights, but after multiple ones, still inevitably. In the last ep he could really die, perfectly satisfied with his life. Zero Two should be there to send him off, not grieving or dissing him, but just telling him how it was all worth it. That might be pretty stylish.

I take it back
not cute at all!
Klaxosaur cells are trying to take control of his body.
But it seems his body fights back. Will he be able to survive this and still be able to remain sane/himself ? of course while being able to pilot strelizia with Zero-2?
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Dude just needs to kiss Zero Two some more to get some immunity from those cells.
That's what I also thought during this ep.Originally Posted by NeoCybercoin
I wonder if all these children are in fact not completely human. Growing into an adult seems to be a big deal, so maybe they can't? They might drop dead. I reckon they at least can't pilot anymore, but it would be a pity if that was due to some adults vs children Peter Pan mumbojumbo reason. However, if they were mass production humans with trace amounts of klasosaurs in them, there could be a solid reason. Zero Two would be one stabile specimen with much more klaxosaur.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what happens to Hiro after the third ride.
If that's the case then I don't think Hiro is quite normal either. I mean the reaction he got was the polar opposite of Zero Two's 'victims'
The first pilot we saw piloting with 02 was an adult though... or at least very big young adult.
I like the clone theory though, it would explain why 016 is well known even among the other pilots already.
them being clones would explain why they aren't going to grow old - among many other possible reasons.
With the reaction to the adulthood question mixed with the flower theory, it's entirely possible these children die very young. I will not go as far as saying they do so shortly after their first sexual intercourse... But who knows what in the head of the author before we get there ?
I like the clone theory too. They globally know what are the attibutes of lines of clones, although they probably are altered every generation.
As for that poor Zero2 pilot we saw, I think I remember them saying pilots grow older insanely fast with Zero2 in Strelizia
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I had totally forgotten what kind of a pilot it was, so I just assumed he was a young one as well. But if the pilots indeed can grow old, who knows. Maybe the old one was an older generation model with less potential but capable of living longer.
One more thing I don't remember... I thought they just drop dead due to massive internal injuries. I would like to believe they don't normally have a blue cancerous growth in/on them like Hiro does. That might be Hiro's peculiarity, connected to the medical abnormality they observed, even thought it looked like Zero Two at least half expected it.
The way I understood it - and in hindsight to what the elder said - it's probably the klauxodinosaur-thingy blood that is now inside his body. Since 02 has this kind of blood inside her... maybe connecting with her will somehow result in that.
The APE guys did say that it would contaminate 02's blood if she ends up piloting again with 016.
Not to mention that the opening has a background that reminds me of blood and is using a lot of blue and red, which is then being mixed together.. even in the title of the series "Darling in the FranXX"

Episode 6

There was certainly enough shounen spirit in this episode. I was getting really annoyed by Hiro's self-satisfaction when he was "dying", but fortunately he collected his wits eventually. Still, that's one super resilient mecha for sure. What does it take to destroy one? They should build the plantations the same way they build those Franxxes, and they would never have to worry about klaxosaur attacks because occasional repainting would be the most they would need to do, even if the klaxosaurs kept pummeling the walls day in and day out.
I suppose there was some small development between Hiro and Zero Two. It was quite an enlightening scene where we saw how Zero Two behaves when yet another partner kicks the bucket, leaving her unable to keep fighting. It must be quite frustrating. If she really starts to care for Hiro like a human, it would be even worse.
If Ichigo finally gave up, it would be another excellent point of progress.
I'm a little annoyed about how he defeated that "cancer" he was suffering from.
Woosh - aaaand it's gone

Yeah, it would have been far better if it hadn't been so purely spiritual. It should have gone NeoCybercoin's way and require kissing. In fact it would have been funny if he had needed to kiss Zero Two every day to keep it in check.
It probably had nothing to do with spirit or magic or even his will. It was likely biological.
His body is special and reacts in the completely opposite way when compared to the other partners 02 has had. I think his antibodies merely needed time to adjust to the cancer growth, and once they did, they purged it.
As to why that happened at such an opportune moment? Two words: Dramatic effect.
Peace.
He was dying before he realised he doesn't want to leave Zero Two behind to continue her lonesome fight. Then he suddenly healed fully in mere seconds, allowing him to join the fight once again. That seemed pretty spiritual to me.
