History Characters / DarlingInTheFranxxPlantationThirteen

* AngerBornOfWorry: This is Zorome's attitude towards Futoshi's refusal to eat any food.

* BrokenPedestal: It's strongly implied that Futoshi puts Kokoro on a pedestal and idolizes her as a selfless, [[IncorruptiblePurePureness incorruptibly pure]] NiceGirl, which she seems vaguely uncomfortable with but not brave enough to openly refute, and she often plays along to make him happy. [[spoiler:When she breaks his heart by leaving him, he seems as disillusioned with her behavior as heartbreak over her leaving him.]]

* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Downplayed. [[spoiler: In Episode 16, Mitsuru reflects on his promise with Hiro, and eventually admits that his resentment for Hiro was uncalled for, since even though Hiro forgot their promise he didn't do anything wrong, and Mitsuru only formed his grudge and held onto it for so long so he would have a drive.]]

* HeadbuttingHeroes: Even after she accepts Hiro's feelings for Zero Two, the girls just do not like each other (save for Zero Two liking Ichigo as a [[{{Troll}} trolling]] victim). Zero Two thinks Ichigo's useless, and Ichigo thinks Zero Two is a disrespectful loose cannon. By episode 9, things started improving between them, which makes [[spoiler: their falling out from episode 12 and onward that much worse for them.]]

* WomanScorned: Played with, and eventually subverted. [[spoiler: She does take the fact that she's a HopelessSuitor for Hiro's affections better than expected, but she's clearly bitter about it, as seen when she gives Zero Two a beating while ranting that she wished they never met her. What subverts this trope is that despite her frustrations, Ichigo still wants Hiro to be happy and is implied by Goro to still care for Zero Two; thus after her venting, she lets them get together without any more protests.]]

* WellDoneSonGuy: All the Parasites are this to Papa to an extent, but he's by far the most loyal to Papa among them and the one that buys into APE's hype the most.

** [[spoiler: Though it seems that he's on his way there by Episode 14, since when Hiro brings their promise up after fully remembering his past, Mitsuru implicitly assures Hiro that there's no need to apologize. They've completely reconciled two episodes later, especially since Mitsuru acknowledges that Hiro wasn't at fault for what happened.]]

** [[spoiler: She pulls a 180 again (this time, permanently) in the following episode, when she finally accepts that Hiro only sees her as a friend and that he's in truly love with Zero Two, and helps him get to her, even if begrudgingly. Though she does smile when she sees that they've reunited once more.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The [[GentleGiant kind and gentle Futoshi]] becomes violent and aggressive with frustration and heartache when [[spoiler:Kokoro switches partners with Mitsuru]].

* ImportantHaircut: [[spoiler: He gets one from Kokoro in Episode 16, reverting back to his old hairstyle: signifying that he's letting go of past resentments.]]

** [[spoiler: Though it seems that he's on his way there by Episode 14, since when Hiro brings their promise up after fully remembering his past, Mitsuru implicitly assures Hiro that there's no need to apologize. By Episode 16, it's all but made clear that they've completely reconciled.]]

* RebuiltPedestal: [[spoiler:By the latter half of the series, Mitsuru eventually learned let go of his animosity towards Hiro and see him in a positive light once more, as seen when he tells Hiro that apologizing for their forgotten promise isn't necessary, and even smiling with the rest of the gang when Hiro tells them to come back alive in Episode 15.]]

* WomanScorned: Played with, but eventually subverted. [[spoiler: She does take the fact that she's a HopelessSuitor for Hiro's affections better than expected, but she's clearly bitter about it, as seen when she gives Zero Two a beating while ranting that she wished they never met her.

* AngerBornOutOfWorry: This is Zorome's attitude towards Futoshi's refusal to eat any food.

* TookALevelInKindness: Downplayed. While she's still not exactly on friendly terms with Zero Two, their relationship gradually becomes more civil, and Ichigo even defends Zero Two from Nine Alpha in Episode 12. [[spoiler: Though it all eventually goes downhill after the events of Episode 13...]]

* RebuiltPedestal: [[spoiler:It's implied in the latter half of the series that Mitsuru is starting to let go of his animosity towards Hiro and see him in a positive light once more, as seen when he tells Hiro that apologizing for their forgotten promise isn't necessary, and even smiling with the rest of the gang when Hiro tells them to come back alive in Episode 15.]]

* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler:Hiro forgetting their promise caused Mitsuru to harbor a deep resentment for Hiro. Even after Hiro snapped out of his funk, Mitsuru continues to give him the cold shoulder, even having unpleasant dreams about when he used to look up to him.]] He even states that he doesn't know if he can ever forgive Hiro. [[spoiler: Though it seems that he's on his way there by Episode 14, since when Hiro brings their promise up after fully remembering his past, Mitsuru implicitly assures Hiro that there's no need to apologize.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:In episode 14 he tells Hiro he doesn't need to apologize for forgetting their promise and then suggests he should give up piloting with Zero Two, clearly concerned for his safety like Ichigo.]]

** While he's normally resentful of Hiro, in Episode 14 he advises him not to see Zero Two anymore, although he states this out of concern since [[spoiler: Zero Two nearly killed Hiro]].

** Even though she's supposed to be the leader, she tends to put her own interests above those of others, even at the cost of their well-being. At first she tries to get Zero Two removed from the squad even though Zero Two is the only pistil that Hiro can ride with, as well as the fact that her presence greatly increased the team's battle effectiveness against the klaxosaurs. It becomes justified later on since [[spoiler: Zero Two almost willingly killed Hiro before discovering that he was the boy from her past, followed by her beating up almost the entire squad later on; and Ichigo doesn't know enough of the whole picture to act more rationally.

** Even though she's supposed to be the leader, [[ItsAllAboutMe Ichigo can be very selfish]] as she tends to put her own interests above those of others, even at the cost of their well-being. She constantly tries to get Zero Two removed from the squad even though Zero Two is the only pistil that Hiro can ride with, as well as the fact that her presence greatly increased the team's battle effectiveness against the klaxosaurs. It becomes justified later on since [[spoiler: Zero Two almost (willingly) killed Hiro (before she eventually came to her senses), followed by her beating up almost the entire squad later on; and Ichigo doesn't know enough of the whole picture to act more rationally, though it's clear that her judgment is clouded by personal feelings]]. And while she claims to be worried for Hiro, she emotionally takes advantage of him by [[spoiler: preventing him from having a proper conversation with Zero Two, and then forces a kiss (and a confession) on him even when she can see that he's pained from Zero Two's departure.]]
* GentleTouchVsFirmHand: The firm hand to Goro's gentle touch. While Ichigo is also a gentle person, her seriousness regarding her role as the leader means she will be harsh towards her teammates when she feels she needs to, contrasting with how Goro is always encouraging them with kind words and a smile.

* NobleBigot: She was fine when Hiro piloted with Naomi- with someone who was part of the group. But she distrusts the strange Zero Two for doing the same thing, despite Zero Two saving all of their lives.

* UnreliableExpositor: She's not honest with others (or, it's implied, even herself) about her motivations, so it's unclear what motivates her actions- romantic attraction to Hiro, a desire to keep the group together, or some combination of the two.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In Episode 14. [[spoiler:While she was well-intentioned, if extremely selfish, her exact course of action was a note-perfect demonstration of how to make a volatile situation worse and mentally destroy the person she was trying to help.]]

* WomanScorned: Played with, but eventually subverted. [[spoiler: She does take the fact that she's a HopelessSuitor for Hiro's affections better than expected, but she's clearly bitter about it, as seen when she gives Zero Two a bit of a beating while ranting that she wished they never met her. What subverts this trope is that despite her frustrations, Ichigo still wants Hiro to be happy; thus after her venting, she lets them get together without any more protests.]]

* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Due to how they were raised, these kids don't seem to have an understanding of the concept of love or even kissing. Though oddly enough, [[FridgeLogic they do have a taboo about nudity and know the word "pervert"]].

[[Characters/DarlingInTheFranxxHiro Hiro has his own Character page.]]

[[Characters/DarlingInTheFranxxZeroTwo Zero Two has her own Character page]].

* DramaticIrony: His whole animosity towards Hiro is this. [[spoiler:Hiro forgetting the promise he made with Mitsuru was likely caused by the memory tampering cause by Dr. Franxx.]]
* DrivenByEnvy: He seems to want more than anything to surpass Hiro. During his DrunkWithPower moment he wouldn't stop raving how he was a better pilot than him. [[spoiler:Following that episode, he continues to resent Hiro for being a better pilot than him, and obsessively wonders why ''Hiro'' was able to pilot with Zero Two and not him?!]]

* {{Foil}}: As of episode three, with Zorome. Both are arrogant braggarts who have some synchronization trouble with their partners, and try to prove themselves better than Hiro. However, Mitsuru is a ColdHam while Zorome is HotBlooded. Also, [[spoiler:Mitsuru casually discards his partner Ikuno at the first sign of difficulty, while Zorome genuinely cares about Miku and puts her well-being first when things get tough.]]

* ChildSoldiers : Judging from their ages,they probably still 14-17 years old.

* {{Tykebomb}}: They are picked randomly in their childhood.They are brought to the APE and isolated from the adults in order to be trained as future pilots of Franxx.

* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler:Hiro forgetting their promise caused Mitsuru to harbor a deep resentment for Hiro. Even after Hiro snapped out of his funk, Mitsuru continues to give him the cold shoulder, even having unpleasant dreams about when he used to look up to him.]] He even states that he doesn't know if he can ever forgive Hiro. [[spoiler: Though it seems that he's on his way there y Episode 14, since when Hiro brings their promise up after fully remembering his past, Mitsuru implicitly assures Hiro that there's no need to apologize.]]

* Tykebomb : They are already picked randomly since childhood, for being trained as future pilot of Franxx

* {{Irony}}: Zorome and Miku fight more than any other pair of pilots, but by they are the only ones who are not involved in the LoveDodecahedron that's going on in Plantation 13.
