If it isn't Honey they've wasted some good foreshadowing, also a lot of cuteness.

There will be a male human with Klaxosaur genes that will grab Zorome by the throat, lock him into the female seat and pilot him long and hard before a girl is on top with Hiro. Unless, of course, that's eventually revealed to be Hiro and he robot sexes every character as both the top and the bottom.

I'd accept a role-reversal with some cockpit transforming shenanigans, since he doesn't actually have handles to grab.

But if they put handles on his suit ... :hawaaaafap:

I hereby endorse that everyone should have handles.

The scene was there so Ichigo could make a cute face, I don't see this show going actually gay in any way at all.
Not that I'd be disappointed, but I don't think the writing so far would lend itself to decent gay characters.

It seemed like it would for a few moments in episodes 2 and 3. Like the undertones were there, you could see a possible psychological throughline for either of the rival boys' problems being "i am crushing on hiro but our military dictatorship says engagement in hyperporn is for reproductive purposes only" and then it was just all about oni instead. It lost something in moving too quick towards that, I think, and not letting all the sexual frustration on everyone's part be ambiguous and undirected.

Ranzear posted:

The biggest problem with this is it'd need them to fall into strongly gendered roles because of all the reproductive-system theming around the act. Unless it's something like when the inevitable rebellion against the SEELE-PTA happens it's done by rearranging into 'impossible' pairs.

i don't feel like the piloting roles themselves are that gendered, so gay pairings wouldn't inherently rub up against that.

Nowai. Far more 'Trigger' for the characters to make that assumption and then the robot is a bear and the burly dude is a powerbottom.

I think subverting that gendered piloting roles anchor may end up a theme of the show.

If Strelitzia (oh my gooood I googled the spelling and that's the Bird of Paradise plant gently caress this bird poo poo getting out of hand) ends up having a role-reversal mode, I expect the other bots might have it too, then things will get interesting.

It'd be really boring and disappointing if they don't touch upon it, but this is a show that begins by talking about monogamous birds that need a partner of the opposite sex to live

They are really. There is a very present theme of marriage between men and women. The first episode has Father Pope pairing these kids off while their pinkies are bound by rings, I would argue that traditional weddings are the focus here. Dr. FranXX specifically states that the true power of a mech comes out when the positive and negative male-female energies mix the true power comes out. And the female outfits are designed to resemble a wataboshi, which is the bridal hood used in Shinto Weddings.

i mostly meant that the male/female characters don't fall into such rigidly gendered boxes that having m/m or f/f pairs would be odd or forced to feed into the typical roles of subservient femme/dominant masc.

For this show, depends. Just looking at the position of the riders in the cockpit, whoever grabs the reins is symbolically penetrating their partner. So whoever is the "battery" is going to be subservient to the dominant driver. Personalities won't change this as much as you might want but we still need to see what it looks like in the cockpit whenever 002 assumes direct control.

Apparently, (and, since I don't speak Japanese, this is grain of salt territory) there was a double meaning with the "sweet" line, with the second meaning being, basically, weak or soft. She was both saying that Ichigo seemed pleasant, and pretty much predicting how things went with the piloting.
