Darling In The Franxx Episode 24 Summary

Okay, let's talk Darling In The Franxx episode 24. You know, the one where things got... well, chaotic?
Buckle up, buttercups. It's time to revisit the Klaxosaur princess and the whole VIRM situation.
So, What Actually Happened?
Basically, everyone's fighting. Like, a lot of fighting. Remember those weird cube things, the VIRM? Yeah, they're being super annoying.
Must Read
They want to reset humanity. Because, you know, humans are messy. Who can blame them? (Just kidding... mostly.)
The Great Space Escape
Hiro and Zero Two decide to go deal with the VIRM. They hop in the Apus, which is basically their souped-up Franxx. Think of it as the ultimate mech road trip.
Cue dramatic music! The rest of Squad 13 tries to hold down the fort. Good luck with that, guys.

Meanwhile, in space, things are getting intense. Explosions, screaming, and a whole lot of VIRM getting blasted. It's like a giant video game.
Zero Two's Sacrifice (Again!)
Zero Two does something really Zero Two-ish. She decides to become one with the Apus to defeat the VIRM.
This, of course, means saying goodbye to Hiro. Prepare for waterworks, people! Tissues are mandatory.
Hiro, being Hiro, isn't having any of that. He joins her, naturally. Can't leave your darling behind, right?

My Unpopular Opinion
Okay, here's where I might lose some of you. I... didn't hate this episode. Gasp!
I know, I know. It was rushed. A lot of things felt crammed in there. Believe me, I get it.
But I also think it had some genuinely great moments. Hiro and Zero Two's unwavering love? Heartwarming, even if it was a bit melodramatic.
And the visuals? Come on! Space battles are always cool. Giant robots shooting lasers? Even cooler. Don't even try to argue.

The Ending (Spoilers, duh!)
So, Hiro and Zero Two defeat the VIRM. But... they're gone. Sacrificed themselves for the greater good. Super tragic, right?
Fast forward a bunch of years. Squad 13 has rebuilt society. Everything is all sunshine and rainbows. Almost too perfect, if you ask me.
And then... BAM! Reincarnation! Hiro and Zero Two are back as little kids. Ready to start all over again. Cue the collective "aww" from the audience.
Final Thoughts
Was episode 24 perfect? Absolutely not. Was it a bit of a mess? Maybe.

But did it give us closure? Did it give us a somewhat happy ending? I think so.
Maybe I'm just a sucker for a good love story. Or maybe I'm just easily entertained by giant robots fighting aliens. Either way, I enjoyed the ride. Even the bumpy parts.
So, there you have it. My slightly-too-enthusiastic take on Darling In The Franxx episode 24. Let me know your (probably more reasonable) thoughts in the comments!
Just promise me you'll be nice. After all, we're all just trying to figure out this crazy anime thing together.
