Eh , so what is the translation of the next ep tittle ? surely it can't be darling in the franxx.

[AB079]

We can expect lots of battles next episode, maybe some deaths?

[Funkatron]

Translation of the preview, from reddit:

You belong to me.
I love the way you taste.
It's true, all the weaklings so far have died.
But that was to be expected, wasn't it?
Besides, you are special so everything will be fine.
Won't you believe in me, Darling?

Title Drop - Darling in the FranXX

Death flags flying everywhere. Way to stack the deck, 02

Also this seems to be another Trigger episode

Whoa, that sounds heavy. I'm beginning to wonder if 02 won't fully transition into yandere at some point .

Previews have never been meant to be taken literally.
Why it should be now?

I don't think it's going to be literal as in ALL dying, but it certainly sounds like shit might get rough, and 02 sounds ever more encroaching/possessive.

[Twi]

The facebook translation video basically states it in the context that all the other people who have ridden with her have died because they were weak, but she's sure that he's special and so he needs to put his trust in her. Rather than take it literal, more so since she doesn't care about the others, it's probably just safer to assume she's reassuring Hiro that he won't die because she chose him to ride with her.

Besides, if they were going to kill anyone, we know it'd be the other Plantation's first.

Would be funny if a show ever had the guts to get you acquainted with a main cast and then kill them all off about 6 episodes in and be like "lol no now follow these guys instead".

Game of Thrones?

[AB079]

Considering the nature of the show is pretty obvious that random characters like the kids introduced on the previous episode (the ones saying that 02 left some of them to die) will be dead soon, probably in the next episode.

What I want to see is someone from the main cast getting killed, after all they are a group that knows each other for long time, the loss of one of the members can be a used as a good break point in the story offering some interesting developments.

Spoiler:

Nijuu Mensou no Musume has this to a degree. The heroine survives though.

Total Eclipse kind of did that. But probably not Darlifra since it places heavily on the characters to make it work.

I'll just cut off this particular discussion tangent and say yes, they exist, and no, we won't spoil them here. If people want suggestions for shows like that, we have a Reviews and Recommendations Forum.

What is it about the obsession that main characters die in a show where its obvious they won't?

It happened all through Little Witch Academia, and again here.

None of the main 10 characters is going to die anytime soon, because this is a show about relationships. How do you explore relationships if you kill off one of the relationships?

It would be like asking Tsuredure Children or GAMERS! to murder half its cast.

we are on the age of the "grey, where series without killing characters is not fun and good and evil don't work anymore and you must have "for the great good" sacrifices where aslong is to save more "lifes" killing others can be justified.

peoples are getting so tired of the "political rightrouss" and social justice which now you can be "evil" as long you are fighting against social justice lol.

now being serious well peoples really think which a show is more "fun" or more realistic of peoples die and series where no one dies is "too childish" and boring".

[RDNexus]

Since it is a fictional story, anything seems to be allowed. I don't like that kind of thinking

For years all what we get for the most part are characters with a huge plot armor that no matter what happens they survive everything. That is just lazy writing and a waste of a decent plot device that can improve the character development of the main cast quite a bit, same for the story (there are exceptions of course).

There are series that did the opposite like Gundam IBO where the death of relevant characters and some main ones have a huge impact in the series and on the rest of the characters, providing a more enjoyable experience.

In DarliFra you have kids that are literally raised as weapons, they lack any type of common sense or the standard knowledge about human relationships, things like what's been happening with 02 and Hiro are changing them in some way but they've never experienced death, only the death of some random guy. Using a little bit of logic after understanding such basic element of the series already shows you that here with all the battles coming and the danger, someone will die no matter what, especially since the feelings of these kids are coming out in different ways, probably affecting their performance in battle leading to some fatal incidents, there you have Ichigo, Mitsuru, Hiro and to some extent 02.

If the Director is smart he will use the death of a memeber of the main cast as a plot device that can improve the characters quite a bit instead of falling for the same bullshit "oh here it comes X character to save the day and avoid every single death!" which is honestly, one of the most tiresome cliches ever.
