Don't you just love it when they make you care about a character you hated most of the series, then kill them off and hit you right in the feels? Yeah, me neither ;_;

[@ao2415]

Lone Wolf Cello tbh the 9's is the only thing making me hype for the future arc from the op1. They just look so cool. But they didn't get any backstory and just get killed off just like that.

[@ookam9685]

since when there was a time for us to care about this bitch?

[@lonewolfcello9814]

ookam96 Well, him and the nines decided to help them and risk their lives, so... I guess that's reason enough for me.

[@asuraspath2262]

ookam96 Agreed, I guess too many kiddies actually like them lmao.

[@jackhames9518]

Lone Wolf Cello the nines never got you in the feels or made them characters you can care for they were just badasses.

[@Jyang.11]

It was so freaking sad how he sacrificed himself. I use to hate him, but these final episodes of seeing him in the hospital bed really broke my heart

[@lonewolfcello9814]

Me too, his last words to hiro, damn... ;_;

[@Kat-xy7fm]

He literally could have just gone in with Hiro. There was no reason he had to die except to kill off a character without having to sacrifice a main character. Hate when shows do that.

[@Cptbravo221]

Kat to be honest he had nothing to live for unlike Hiro who still had a chance of meeting zero two. His was gone and the only way to meet her again is to pass on aswell

[@SenMysrana]

Perhaps... but he had to take out the mega-walker and (perhaps more importantly) he WANTED to go out like that. The Nines were already dying, and perfectly aware of the fact. They decided to go out in a blaze of glory, rather than be sentenced to a slow and miserable death.

[@teorzeszki]

Hiro: "oh zero two i think i had to tell you something..." Zero Two: "huh, what is it?" Hiro: "eeeh, i forgot. it's probably not that important" Alpha: *crying in the distance* "this is fine c':)

His mind became linked to hers once he started riding with her. She knows what happened here and probably appreciates it.

[@gemaskrey7467]

Hiro never said hi for Alpha, what a jerk

[@lyn2046]

Speck owo since he died :/

[@bailey5836]

Probably didn't have to, Zero Two probably saw it in his memories. When he fused with her like that, their memories became one so she knew what Alpha did here for him

[@seandavis8840]

"It's been kinda fun, I guess" is one of my all time favorite final sentences

[@simoncarlile5190]

Not going to lie - when the 9s volunteered to go to space I 100% thought they were just trying to sabotage the mission

[@bailey5836]

Why would they do that? They're at their lowest low. They just lost two of their beloved teammates, found out their existence was a lie, found out that the man they've been serving betrayed everyone and is now trying to kill them all, and are basically seriously injured still.

[@subalace]

Alpha was one of the best characters then BOOM he died- Why do they kill off all of my favorite characters ;-;

Nah he deserves it, honestly, a wedding is an Very intimate thing and he just destroyed it, therefore, yes, he deserves it

He was a star..... a star that shined his brightest in the end... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

For some reason I liked alpha lol

[@choerrypie7283]

Blue Panda you can’t really blame him though. He was created to be that way.

[@necromelodia2432]

Blue Panda Makes him all the better.

[@cordelia_edits]

Blue Panda That was the reason why I hated him but in the end I actually liked him

[@ao2415]

Blue Panda that wedding episode is the most stupidest thing. Wasted 1 episode just for that shit. Now have to rush everything because of not enough episode

[@killrkiddx007]

Alpha does have a heart

[@PennyxPamoon]

Damn. He was the only character I liked :c

[@PennyxPamoon]

Cat Loza ahaha me too!! I haven't watched this anime either, I just search for clips of him, sadly he is a really minor character ):

Honestly, I felt so sad when watching this. I started to like him quite a lot actually :'(

Well, his final act was a noble one. He did something good...in the end.

[@everythingshewants46]

He was my fucking favorite..

[@Mimi-gf1rz]

[@datemasamune2904]

I love how the Franxx have their hair tied. I mean, the pink one's got her hair tied to a ponytail and everything. XD

[@junesff8402]

At first I hated him but inside he has one of the biggest hearts. He died with a smile 😃 and for that we will respect him😪

Atleast he didn't die as a moron, but as a hero

[@shunkaidou6123]

I used to like alpha but oh OHHHH WHEN HE RUINED FRICKIN KOKOROS WEDDING I INSTANTLY HATED HIM

[@ALGOChannel]

This was so damn bad and forced, it's like they tried to pull of the same redemption thing they did with Viral from TTGL and sacrifice him but forgot that they had to make the character likeable to make us give a shit about him in the first place.

[@daneyal7162]

Ikr? It's like they tried to make Alpha into Viral 2.0, only that they forgot that we had no reason to really care about him. Sure, it was somewhat sad to see him and his squad getting sick because of the child sickness, but at least Viral was noble and had values, and his character had time to change and develop. Why the hell do they think that the same goes for Alpha, when most of what he did just made us hate him more and more?

[@silverraigirideviluke]

The Nines tried to redeem themselves and asked for nothing more, not that you like them, not hat you forgive them. You dont have to like someone to feel bad for them if something bad happens to them.

[@pythagor47]

what the shame It's NGE rebuild reference

[@silvermoon6607]

Alonso Go Me too will you be my friend

[@reanisuii]

Alonso Go can you shut the fuck up, it actually worked mostly. Just look through the comments 🤦🏾‍♀️

Just imagine if several of those virm ships just opened fire on their own allies and then changed it like being UNSC ships and the new republic x-wings and all that

[@bailey5836]

Alpha pulled a Vegeta right here. What a badass way to go out, he really redeemed himself here.

[@黄兴-d7b]

Guys it’s not funny it was when they got along having friendship is to remember them not laughing at their death because they are just some character of the story that doesn’t matter what matters is the quality of the story when they get along and they are all together they build new friendships with each other new futures for kids can grant the wish for some people to have a a new season when do we appreciate them for being in this story if it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t have this good series to ourselves them being a good person to make this series this shows how zero two wants to become human I mean we’re all humans were all different don’t judge them you should be nice to others if you don’t you won’t have a good future not having a good future is not the life for you be brave be confident and don’t fear anything

[@xumacislost9144]

It’s not that deep

[@LvLupXD]

Oh no this well established character I'm super invested in

[@user-dh3hj6op3m]

I had thought alpha was a bad person but inside he is a good man sacrificed his own life to get hiro to zero two ❤❤

[@VJ87G]

Alpha got the same voice as Tatsumi from Akame Ga Kill.

[@Cococrash11]

Awesome Darling in the Franxx Video.

[@silvermoon6607]

I am really crying because alpha has died please if there is season 2 then please make alpha please

[@arguably8390]

Stop, he's dead

[@silvermoon6607]

Satanist but there a way to bring him back to life if there is season season 2 and will you be my friend please

[@arguably8390]

They won't bring him back, no way he survived the explosion. It's barely possible that they would even make season 2. Why would I be your friend?

Mitsuru and Kokoro lost their memories because of 9's and Alpha. But...they fought and died in honorable way. They did their best. Idk why, but they are reminding me to Space Marines from Warhammer 40k universe. Brainwashed and soulless death machines that are following the orders of high command till the end. Yet, they are soo loyal that they will die to defend things they believe in.

[@suwi745]

I was today years old when I learnt alpha has the same voice actor as Yamaguchi I like him better now. Not that I really ever hated him. Alpha that is.

[@nugget4566]

Why we need more episodes of the anime plz

[@iamlazycatxP]

I don't think so. The ending was compressed and rushed, but it was the ending. Continuing the show at this point probably gonna make it worse...

[@GeodudeSpitsFacts]

I think in the end he could've said "say hi to zero two for me". To show he have changed. But idk, maybe he didn't

Alois nooo!!!

[@thesimsfan12]

I think they changed who was meant to sacrifice themselves last minute! Think about it! Mitsuru always wanted to Pilot a FranXX with Hiro! I mean they should of had at least 1 of Squad 13 die (Besides 002 and Hiro)
