Darling In The Franxx Kokoro X Mitsuru Moments

Okay, let's be real. We all watched Darling in the Franxx for the giant robots, right? And the deep philosophical questions about humanity? Maybe? But let's admit it, the romance was a HUGE part of it.

Kokoro and Mitsuru: The Underdogs

Now, everyone fawns over Hiro and Zero Two. The OG power couple! But hear me out. Kokoro and Mitsuru are the real MVPs. Anyone else thinks that too?

They're like that quirky couple you secretly root for. They start off awkward. Then they have a whole baby plot. What a ride!

The Library Scene: A Spark Ignites

Remember the library scene? Where Kokoro is reading about...well, you know? It's pretty darn awkward but it shows their first connection!

Mitsuru walks in, all broody and tsundere-like. Suddenly, history changes. You could see the spark!

The Beach Episode: Things Get Real (Sort Of)

Ah, the beach episode. Mandatory anime fanservice. But amidst all the splashing and questionable swimwear, Kokoro and Mitsuru have a moment.

They're actually...talking! About serious stuff! It’s a rare glimpse behind Mitsuru's icy exterior. And Kokoro is there. Listening.

The Pregnancy Reveal: Drama Central

Okay, this is where things get WILD. Kokoro is pregnant. With Mitsuru's baby. Chaos ensues! Talk about a plot twist.

The whole squad goes bonkers. Nana tries to erase their memories. It's a mess, but it also solidifies their bond.

Forbidden Love: The Ultimate Sacrifice

Remember when they were all being punished for wanting to be themselves? Mitsuru says he doesn't want to lose Kokoro.

That’s character development right there. Mitsuru actually shows emotion! He cares about someone other than himself! Sniff!

The Rebirth: A New Beginning

The ending...let's just say it's divisive. But! Kokoro and Mitsuru get a second chance. In a new life! With all their memories!

They get to raise their kids in peace. It is the happy ending they deserved! After all the drama, they get a normal life.

Unpopular Opinion: They're More Interesting Than Hiro and Zero Two

Okay, I said it! Hiro and Zero Two are iconic. But Kokoro and Mitsuru's relationship is more nuanced. More relatable, in a weird way.

They aren't destined soulmates. They are two flawed people. They find comfort and love in each other. What a beautiful thing.

They are like that couple you know, you see how they care for each other in small, subtle ways. You're like, that is how love should be!

So, next time you rewatch Darling in the Franxx. Give Kokoro and Mitsuru some love. They deserve it! Don't you agree?

I will die on this hill. Their love story is underrated. It's the best part of the show. Don't @ me!
