Description
Futoshi, also known by his code number Code:214, is a male parasite belonging to the Thirteenth Plantation. He stands at 174 centimeters in height. Originally, he served as the pilot of the FRANXX Genista, but later transitions to piloting Chlorophytum.
His personality is defined by a blend of easy-going optimism and surprising sensibility. He is generally cheerful, does things at his own pace, and possesses a friendly demeanor that allows him to get along with virtually anyone. Despite his sometimes carefree and impetuous nature, he frequently demonstrates a grounded and practical understanding of situations. A notable aspect of his character is his love for food; he is a glutton who hides snacks in various places and has a particular fondness for bread. He strongly dislikes being called fat.
Futoshi's primary motivation is rooted in a deep care for his squad mates, especially his partner. He takes his promises very seriously. Early in the story, his main driving force is to protect his original partner, Kokoro, and to ensure she never feels burdened when they pilot together. He makes a promise to remain her partner forever, a vow he holds dearly.
His role in the narrative begins as Kokoro's dedicated and caring partner. He is a stable and reliable member of the squad, often providing a comforting presence. The story places him at the center of significant emotional conflict during the partner shuffle, where Kokoro chooses to partner with Mitsuru. This event devastates Futoshi, as it breaks his promise and reveals the depth of his romantic feelings for her. Despite his heartbreak, his role evolves; he quickly demonstrates emotional maturity by choosing to forgive and support Kokoro’s decision, even vowing to protect her from afar. He later becomes the steadfast partner of Ikuno, showing his adaptability and cooperative nature. In a profound act of selflessness, he later volunteers to act as the priest for Kokoro and Mitsuru's wedding ceremony.
His key relationships are central to his development. His bond with Kokoro is the most significant, marked by his unrequited love, his initial devastation at their separation, and his ultimate acceptance and support for her happiness with Mitsuru. This leads to a tense but eventually respectful relationship with Mitsuru, whom Futoshi confronts physically out of a desire to ensure Kokoro's safety, later extracting a promise from him to take care of her. His relationship with Ikuno, his later partner, is built on trust and mutual respect, showcasing his ability to form a strong working relationship outside of his initial romantic attachment. He also shares a playful friendship with Zorome, who often teases him.
Futoshi undergoes significant development, transitioning from a seemingly simple comic-relief character to one of the most emotionally mature members of the team. His journey is one of heartbreak and resilience. After losing Kokoro, he experiences profound sadness but rebounds remarkably fast, forgiving her within hours. He proves his skill and grit in battle by piloting Chlorophytum with great stability and fighting fiercely to protect his former partner. Later, faced with the adult's cruel decision to erase Kokoro and Mitsuru's memories, he displays righteous anger, emotionally confronting the ruling council and demanding an apology for their actions. By the end of the series, he has fully shed any selfish desires, finding purpose in the happiness of his friends and becoming a cornerstone of his community.
As a pilot, Futoshi is notably skilled and reliable. He is capable of piloting the FRANXX with impressive stability and is an adaptable teammate, working effectively with both Kokoro and later Ikuno. His abilities actually shine more when he is no longer holding back out of excessive consideration for a partner. He is physically agile and athletic, capable of playing sports like soccer despite his robust build. In the distant epilogue, he has matured into an adult with a beard, married with children, and has become the village baker, using his love for bread to support and nurture the next generation.
