A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.
Top Ten Reasons Why Everyone Is Converging At Kaminejima
10. Kaminejima is hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics. Out are baseball and softball as medal sports and in are emo facial distortions and train wrecking scriptwriting.
9. The Knights of the Rounds have signed up for Kogarashi’s intensive training program. Bears are indigenous to Kaminejima, right?
8. It’s the only place on earth without a Starbucks franchise.
7. It’s the location of the Republican National Convention. Suzaku is the keynote speaker for John McCain.
6. Actually, FREYA was a dud. There was a misconnection overlooked by Nina that caused a power-ground short. What really happened to Tokyo was that 30 seconds prior to Suzaku firing FREYA, someone stole the last gyoza from Lina Inverse’s plate, and, well, Dragon Slave happened. So now everyone has chased her all the way to Kaminejima.
5. They’re all looking for Twenty Faces, trying to find him before Chiko does.
4. C77 is held on Kaminejima, and Schneizel doesn’t want people to find out about his hobby, so he manufactures the peace talks as a cover up for him to go visit. He’s planning on cosplaying as Alphonse Elric. Britannia Schneizel no Himitsu 4tw!
3. Sheryl Nome concert being held there. What ’bout my starrrrr?
2. Just prepping for the greatest beach fanservice episode ever. (Wishful thinking, I know, I know.)
1. Just prepping for the greatest train wreck ending since the actual train wreck ending in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.
OH GEASS NO
My theory as to why Lulu called Rivalz: with Rolo dead, Orange-kun tricked by the Black Knights, BFF Tamaki betraying him, and Suzaku whacked out of his mind, Lulu wanted to hear a friendly, comforting voice from a dear male friend, and, by process of elimination, that just leaves Rivalz… OH GEASS NO!
(Seriously, Lulu should have Milly’s cellphone number. If he wanted to give her a message, text or call her directly… why go through Rivalz unless he wanted to hear Rivalz’ sweet, sweet voice?)
“You killed them. FLEYA’s warhead’s destructive power is tremendous, and, as a result, it shall bring victory to us, Britannia.”
Wow. Smackdown. Now cue all the “Jerkzaku,” “Coldzaku,” and other equivalent crappy -zaku memes.
(But Nina deserved it. If there were ever a justifiable reason to call someone a crazy bitch, this is it.)
(And kinda funny how Suzaku killed his father to stop the bloodshed, but he ends up becoming the greatest murderer ever. Oh the irony gods.)
Was I the only one who thought that Anya was going to greet C.C. with a kiss (or worse… I mean… or more exciting)? I mean, it seemed liked the next logical plot progression point.
So Anya was geassed by Marianne to carry on Marianne’s soul? Or is Anya a Rei Ayanami-like clone of Marianne and now Marianne’s personality is taking over due to her geass powers? Or was Anya geassed because Marianne wanted a plaything? Because with Marianne’s Kyou-like personality, I can see that bullying happening… but it would help if there were a doujinshi about it… how long until C75 again?
The least shocking plot revelation this episode has to be Anya being connected to Marianne and C.C. regaining her memory as well as her love for pizza. What I want to know is that C.C. didn’t have Cheese-kun with her outside when she was confronted by Anya, yet has it now. Did she go back to her room to fetch Cheese-kun? Did that action delay them from getting to Lulu? “Hold up, let me go grab my hug doll. Rescuing your failure of a son can wait for a few more minutes..”
The second least shocking revelation is that Suzaku triggers Schneizel’s coup de tat. I am disappointed though that they didn’t cut away to show Odysseus making a “Wait, Lulu stole my Chinese gymnast bride and now Schneizel is leapfrogging me to the throne?” face.
Three unrelated comments:
1. Nice Cornelian ass.
2. Why are they playing bar games when the world is going to hell in a handbasket?
3. Is Lancelot Albion powered by void magic?
The number of sane characters left in Code Geass R2 reads as follows:
Gino.
And that’s only until Schneizel tosses Gino into Kallen’s jail cell and makes him wear a frilly Britannian dress.
So this is how the Chinese gymnasts travel around the world…
Why are all the women in the Black Knights dressed up as if they are about to go clubbing, except for Kallen?
(In terms of who is dressed up most like a hooker, I would rank Villetta as the gold medal favorite followed by the purple haired bunny and then the purple stockinged bunny for the bronze.)
Wait, where did his wounds come from? I like how everyone is so quick to turn on Lulu because of Lulu’s “betrayal” yet they wash their own hands clean of their own betrayals. Diethard was a Britannian… Ohgi tried to betray Lulu and hid Villetta from him, etc. And, technically, Lulu didn’t betray them at all. He didn’t reveal his identity, they signed up, how is that a betrayal? If he said, “Hey, I’ll let you know who I am after you join” then it would be one… but they joined him knowing he could be anyone from a prince of Britannia to Carrot Top to Keima Katsuragi.
Why are they fighting with huge broadswords? Why doesn’t Suzaku pull out a gun, or, better yet, use a mobile suit? Is this like Dune where they have Holtzman shields so they have to use their swords as a way to get under the velocity requirements of the shielding?
(Yes, Charles di Onsakumaru is invincible, but Suzaku doesn’t know that.)
(And, yeah, I can picture Charles and Bismarck being Lulu and Suzaku if Lulu and Suzaku never broke up.)
“I can see the end!”
I’d feel more comfortable about Lulu’s supposed check if he weren’t saying it to another male character (his dad even), but I’m surprised that someone like Charles forgot to station a guard or two outside. Or is it because Suzaku killed them all and occupied Bismarck… Suzaku indirectly helping Lulu… mmm…
(Is it just me, or does it seem like the scriptwriters for Code Geass really hate their dads? The show is basically about Suzaku killing his father and now Lulu trying to kill his because of the poor treatment him, his sister, and his mom received.)
Kaguya Sumeragi turned out to be their best negotiator…
(I want to see a synchronized swimming routine with the Code Geass R2 girls. This should be a DVD special…)
Now this was random.
(If only they could a collection of fake solar furnaces underneath that…)
I demand more screentime for Monica! Moar!!!
And, finally, from last time…
Theru: Hey, Suzaku appeared in this episode! Let’s all call him Episodezaku until next week! I miss Rolo already…
Please… stop with these crappy -zaku memes. They’re all horrible. Though I would accept Suzaku’s meme as “Crappy -Zaku Meme” or “CZM” or even “SZM” for “Shitty -Zaku Meme.” Either would work for me. Think it over.
Northernshadows: I’m utterly surprised no-one’s mentioned yet Lloyd’s “I’ve been broken since the start. Even I’m aware of that†-line.
Because being broken only makes you average here. Though since Lloyd seems immune to women (and Cecile’s hawt red dress and that blue number from Milly), what would break Lloyd? Schematics of circuit boards? IIP3, dynamic range, and noise figure data from his LNAs?
Veggies: Why Geass is a complete train wreck.
1. Changing content because the timeslot changed from Saturday to Sunday sounds really lame. Can you imagine J.J. Abrams going “Fuck it” because ABC wanted to move Lost to Monday night, opposite Heroes? I can see it if it were changed from 2AM to 5PM since that’ll mean an axing of the Kallen x C.C. x Anya x Milly hot tub scene, but it’s not like, “I didn’t want to off Nunnally, but I had to! We’re airing 5PM now!”
2. I would say that the chances for more Code Geass is very, very good. It is a cash cow that produces more milk than Haruhi Suzumiya. 900,000 DVDs to date… yeah… Sunrise will walk away from that because of artistic constraints… I’d say that a Code Geass prequel OVA is a strong possibility given Sunrise’s track record. (And this doesn’t even take into account all the toys they’re selling.)
3. I’ve already lowered my expectations for Kurogane no Linebarrels. (And that’s before I found out that Maaya Sakamoto is singing the OP… but doesn’t have a lead or major role.)
4. It doesn’t explain why it’s a trainwreck. It just explains why it doesn’t fit Taniguchi’s vision, might might have been an even larger trainwreck. (Keep in mind he’s the director of Mai Hime.)
5. I’m a fan of gg’s trainwreck blog. Now that’s how you do spoilers. (And if you think I use a lot of memes…)
(I vote for Knightmare of Nunnally.)
Tim: I really have to wonder, since none of the members (at least the ones with Schneizel) of the OoTBK have actually heard Lelouch’s voice, what was the point of playing a voice recording as proof?
Excellent point. I wish I had an answer for you beyond, “the DFC who looks like a Chinese gymnast is their best negotiator, and she wasn’t there during these proceedings.”
KG: haih, thr’s a reason why some ppl are meant to be leaders and some are not. Ougi is obviously not. flash him a bit of Viletta’s melons and his brain works the other way round
That also explains poor grammar and spelling.
saimaisama: Great, in a single episode, I lost absolutely every single reason I had to watch Geass. I hated Rolo but at least it provided me with “OH GEASS NO!†moments. I’ve lost all hope in Suzaku. Screw seven episodes, I want Gundam 00.
I’m looking forward to Nodame Cantabile more than Gundam 00… I even have my CD for Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D cued up and ready to go.
Spainard: Suzuaku is doing it wrong. You call that a broken man? Hah. Also, it annoys me how off-putting Lelouch can be at times no need to antagonize one your few remaining supporters i.e. Kallen.
Apparently, you didn’t catch the final line Lulu told Kallen. He basically told her to fuck off because he didn’t want to see her gunned down as well, which was really, really out of character for Lulu… but still… he meant the best for her and her melonpan.
ubu: With diplomacy like that, you wonder how Nihon ended up in a no-win war vs. Brittania in the first place.
So Carl Rove and Dick Cheney are running Brittania?
Symphonia: Precious Thing Number 10: Lulu’s virginity. And if Rolo was a real man, he would have used his Geass to deprive Lulu of this one good and proper, instead of this namby-pamby saving his life rubbish.
Yep… these are my readers.

Was that Marianne’s “JUST AS PLANNED!” face? Because… daaaaayaaamn….
so the show’s coming to a boil, Suzaku goes off the deep end, we find another suprise geass user, etc etc, but the one i was eagerly expecting most and ultimately became quite an anti-climax was Anya/Mom-C.C thing. It was like seeing Anya/Mom asking C.C if she wanted to go out and have a coffee/pizza or something and out pops C.C back to her old(or is it new?/non-slave) self. Not to mention how Anya was revealed just like that to be Marianne/controled by Marianne. I expected to see more trainwreck drama with these two considering the level of fanservice these two pander to the masses. myself included. picture 6 had so much potential. *sniff*
btw, i agree we need more Monica, one more melonpan probably won’t kill us.
we find another suprise geass useri stand correctedNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLAVE GIRL C.C. WHY! She was super cute.
Man this blog is early…this episode felt a little underwhelming compared to the last weeks but it was still okay I guess.
I think it’s weird that they’d send Suzaku to kill the emperor alone I mean Schneizel most think more of the emperor than to send a 17/18 year old boy to kill him on his own?
Also can someone tell me is Freya a Nuke or isn’t it because now another person just stands in a crater without succumbing to Radiation poisoning. So I must have not been paying attention when they were testing Freya because I still want to know what kind of weapon it is…
I also vote for a Knightmare of Nunnally OAV/Series it’ll be funny to see the roles reversed…just give Nunally a “female friend” like Suzaku and who knows we finally may get more Yuri than Yaoi fan pictures
“Why are they fighting with huge broadswords?”
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!
When Lulu trapped himself and Charles in the “other world” I thought back to Dragonball Z when Piccolo trapped himself and Gotenks in the hyperbolic time chamber with Majin Buu….. LOL….Isn’t that wierd???
It does not suprise me that Code Geass brings back another character that was dead. Ok maybe she is a little girl now and doesn’t have a robot eye. I beleive that FLEYA was pointless because everyone is secretly still alive with new modifications.
I am wondering what Bismarck’s Geass is. You could see it glowing in his patched up eye, but I wonder if it increases his reaction time due to his loss of depth perception, but It is just bugging me.
I think they should Repeat the Viletta Sheet drop from the first season with all the characters. They should find a way, I mean hell, they brought back a dead person in a way that no-one would have ever imagined.*
*That was sarcasm if anyone couldn’t tell
Too many shocking news on this episode, SUNRISE strikers back!
Anya was indeed Marianne (it reminds me how Xavier transferred his mind to the comatose patient on that hospital to save his life before Phoenix broke him to pieces). Then she decides to act, first bringing back C.C.’s memories, afterwards coming to terms of their next step. The same way, Suzaku snapped out and decided to act; just like the US Redeem Team, Suzaku wants to redeem himself of everything wrong he did, acknowledging he was at fault and not the Geass. This move played in Schneizel’s favor to take the throne. Finally, Lelouch snapped out and did exactly what he had to do since the beginning; bring down his Father.
All HAIL BRITANNIA.
NIPPON BANZAI.
*just had to say (well, type) it. >_>*
Okay, your posts are usually pretty funny, but this one was the single most hilarious one that I’ve read to date. All I can hope for now is that Kallen x Milly x Villetta x Cornelia x CC x Bridge Bunnies x Monica party at the Grotto shows up in an episode 25 dream sequence, and I can die happy.
Because with Marianne’s Kyou-like personality, I can see that bullying happening… but it would help if there were a doujinshi about it… how long until C75 again?
The creepy thing is that it’s STILL possible for Anya to be Marianne’s daughter… and I don’t think she’d care about it at all, based on how she behaves this episode. She didn’t seem to care much for Lulu’s welfare when chatting with CC.
I also vote for a Knightmare of Nunnally OAV/Series it’ll be funny to see the roles reversed…just give Nunally a “female friend†like Suzaku and who knows we finally may get more Yuri than Yaoi fan pictures
Already exists in NoN, she’s called Alice.
Uh… can’t think of much else to say about this episode. Gave up on watching Geass seriously ages ago, I’m just in it for the zany plot twists and they’re delivering on that account in spades.
Now I want to see Zaku-zaku, the Zeon-version of Memezaku.
So, are we taking bets on which characters are gonna have amnesia in the third season? I’m guessing Nina dies at the end of R2, because I’m not sure where else they can go with her crazy-bitch routine.
“I vote for Knightmare of Nunnally”
oh, i like that…
“I’m guessing Nina dies at the end of R2,”
Nah, she’ll be shown in the ending montage, marrying that table from way back when…
Oh, from the end of the CC/Marianya meeting:
So yep, she specifically went back for Cheese-kun.
I wonder what kind of “truth” will be revealed on the next episode.
My money’s on “Charles is trying to initiate Ragnarok to stop the mighty O-Haruhi-sama from having yet another season.”
My money is on “Charles is trying to initiate Ragnarok to force KyoAni to make the second season of Haruhi right now rather than continue to hold off on it like they are.”
Lulu: Goddamnit!! Where is my anti harem?!
So last week, we discussed possible Code Geass endings and mused over the “NICE MECH” ending. Let us pursue another possibility this week, shall we?
In the second-to-last episode, Lelouch (caked with blood) and Suzaku (also caked with blood) come to an uneasy truce. They reluctantly decide to combine their powers to face off against their ultimate enemy.
In the last episode, they solemnly board their mechs and blast off. Their target: internet memers. Those who lashed out at Suzaku with their CZMs and robbed Lelouch of his gender now face off against two very broken, very angry and very powerful Bishounnen of Mass Destruction. For the Youtube fans, throw in a Zombie Euphie; the only way to ease the pain of being the living dead is to commit unspeakable acts of violence while shouting, “WHY? WHYYYYYYYY? Why did you dub Weird Al music over my death scene?!?”
Of course, the three of them get their butts whipped. Someone whips out a mirror when Lelouch tries to Geass a memer with the command, “YOU give up YOUR masculinity and kiss Suzaku, you freak!” The tide turns, and the memers triumph. They then go to Pizza Hut for some C.C. Body Pizza (Think “body sushi” with pizza instead. Hilarity will ensue. I promise.)
The question: will the above ending make any less sense than the canon ending?
How did Diehart get all those face burses/cuts. He was fine earlier in the episode… did he have a bad run in with a blender, shaving accident, or rub his face with a angry pussy…….. cat.
I’m honestly bothered by how Lulu had like … five minutes of screen time this episode. And now that Marianne’s finally showed up, it’s safe to think that NO ONE is dead in Geass unless there’s been a funeral. Or, for all we know, Shirley is digging herself out of her grave.
Back to Marianne, she’s fucking awesome and I love her. She can bully C.C. That’s beyond awesome. (I’m happy Cheese-kun and Pizza-loving C.C. is back looks like two reasons to continue Geass has showed up)
I always assumed Lulu didn’t give the “you must now obey my every order” command before hand cause it works the same way as “you can’t wish for more wishes” with a genie. But I guess for all his chess playing brain Lulu just ignored the simplest thing that could make him undeniably god. To the credit that he still can’t give that order, the turret gunners he converted carried out only one order that could be given in his usual way, maybe we’ll see them used more later but that’s probably my wishful thinking.
Finally, a Suzaku more to my liking. I feel like every anime that involves mech must have a Rento-act-Shinji part to it. Although Suzaku didn’t exactly go berserk and guro all over, the character break is good enough for me.
Should I ask what sort of hobbies that Schneizel would like to keep a secret? On another note, am I the only one worried about Cornelia here? I mean look at how tight those pants are?! I bet it’s giving her a hell of a wedgie. Look at Zero Suit Samus, her suit isn’t that tight. I take it that Lelouch called Rivalz of all people is to remind people that Rivalz is there. That or the writers are trying to avoid distracting the viewers with melonpan.
>>Why are they fighting with huge broadswords? Why doesn’t Suzaku pull out a gun, or, better yet, use a mobile suit?
It makes too much sense. Well, to be fair Lloyd did refuse to hand over the Lancelot.
>>I am disappointed though that they didn’t cut away to show Odysseus making a “Wait, Lulu stole my Chinese gymnast bride and now Schneizel is leapfrogging me to the throne?†face.
Because Odysseus is plain looking so no one cares about what he feels. Besides he looked like he was a bit slow. That and it’s his own fault for not looking out for himself after the first incident.
Anyway some more questions.
What was the point in introducing the 1st prince and 1st and 5th princess again? Why does Tohdoh’s face remind of the Screamer a little? Does Schneizel’s hobby include this comic?
http://foxxfireart.deviantart......I-95688807
And why do I take so much joy out of this gif?
http://i238.photobucket.com/al.....181587.gif
I’m curious why Lelouch didn’t just stay outside and seal his dad in the chamber.
Good to know I’m not the only one who thought Anya was about to jump C.C.. I was blaming having the line “Pink goes good with green!†stuck in my head from listening to the Wicked soundtrack too much.
interesting bit on rolo
http://trainwreck.ggkthx.org/2.....a-as-fuck/
So there is NO penguin army?
NO!!!
I wanted my Order of the Black Butlers, have lulu in a tux, and at the last few minutes of the last episode when everybody dies, two penguins, one in a beaten up Gurren and one in beaten up Lancelot ready for one last clash only to show the credits. ;_; ~su…
I wonder which Code Geass character is closest to the level of brokeness we like to call (Mako-Cakes!!!). And I’m sorry for this, but if Suzaku is to have any meme at all, it should be Darth-zaku because that would be awesome! (>_<) …uh… Once again I’m sorry for that.
Oh and this is completely unrelated but has anyone read School Rumble Z? I just read the first chapter. It seems unrelated to the original so far but its done by Jin Kobayashi. I think that was his name…
waiting to see whether Anya/Marianne joins Lulu’s loli harem collection. incest in good. damn.
Man, why aren’t more people’s mom’s hawt loli-girls with cell-phone addictions? I smell a special. But I guess I’d have to keep it out of the 6pm JST slot…
“waiting to see whether Anya/Marianne joins Lulu’s loli harem collection. incest in good. damn.”
or we could wait for the doujins… must have them!!
I have a feeling everything Lulu did was JUST AS PLANNED for Charles. Being stuck in a room with Luluko for eternity and without his 108 wives, is this the making of an epic incest gender-swaping c75 doujin? Rolo, Suzaku, and Bismark must all be getting jealous. Hell, I am – I want Luluko for eternity too ~
http://derailedbydarry.com/ima.....20/017.jpg — where can i find a hi-res version of this one.? i only found the schneizel hugging cheese-kun version in hi-res
Jason… pls post a hires version of the monica pic.. i want it as my wallie.. thanks
oh.. i found them in animesuki forums.. but where do these chibi shots appear? i dont see them in Eclipse subs
You know, we haven’t really gotten any confirmation that the Emperor had anything to do with Marianne’s death, or that he didn’t try to investigate it behind the scenes. It’s gonna be a pretty awkward eternity once he tells Lelouch he had nothing to do with it.
@Aldrin: I dunno why Eclipse’s subs don’t have ’em, but they’re at the end of the gg releases, at least. (I’ve been archiving Eclipse’s subs, so it is a little disappointing that they’re not there, but whatever. *shrugs*)
Thank goodness the real C.C. is back.
05:35. C.C.: “Ahh, wait. At the very least, I need to…” Anya: “Hmm?”
“You killed them. FLEYA’s warhead’s destructive power is tremendous, and, as a result, it shall bring victory to us, Britannia”
Did Suzaku said that ? Wasn’t Suzaku that said that FLEYA is very dangerous weapon and it will kill millions of people? I am wondering if he have met Dick Cheney when he was young and hang around him for a while. That would explain why little suzu is all so shrew up in the head. Then again it explains why Suzaku is the keynote speaker for John McCain
Sunrise is out of steam after all those last minute plot twists, completely fumbled Anya’s revelation which was one of the only things they actually had alluded to in previous episodes…
…poor showing this week.
Lulu will come to understand that all Wakamoto wants is to give some direction to the world!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lzG9MnkVlA
What the hell. They could have made this simple, instead of making such a convoluted confusing mess of the plot. I really shouldn’t be surprised but that whole Marianne thing came out of nowhere. So basically she was in cahoots with C.C. the whole time THUS starting this whole thing? Wut.
On a side note, ugly animation. Only Lelouch’s evil grin at the end was decent.
I’m having an absolutely shitty day, but that made me smile.
:) See?
Woot C.C is back and Marianne seems so bad-ass that she even could be the “last boss”
I love these everyhting happening everywhere episodes. Thou animation was really dropping.
…XD Why can’t the US have GPS systems like that?
(…Okay, maybe it was the Youtube link, so I’m not including that in the quote…)
…XD
Why can’t the US have GPS systems like that?
I am forever confused as to why/how diethard gor those bruises? No explainations whatsoever. Blah anyways it ws nice to see Kaguya stand up to the plate and take charge. All the other OofBK members are worthless w/o Zero. Kallen was right. W/o Zero, they wouldn’t have gone that far, even though he used them as pawns.
Yup Suzaku has completely lost it and is probably gonna have his own vendetta later on most likely and Schniezel is already implementing his coup de’tat against his father. I wanna see hwo things go with that. I did however like what Suzaku said to Nina about FLEIJA. Damn b!tch deserved it.
It was indeed a deep shocker that Anya was actually Marianne (well, her “soul” at least). Makes me still wonder whoAnya is but I doubt the whole “Anya is Lulu’s real sis” is true. I couldn’t imagine Marianne doing that to her daughter but we don’t really know her intentions yet but I’m pretty sure it will all boil up in the end.
Finally Lulu used his Geass properly. He should’ve done something like that from the beginning. With the end drawing near, I wonder how this series will end. It better be good! I do somewhat agree with others that this episode wasn’t really as great as the other episodes for some reason. I just didn’t feel it. I hope the remaining episodes will do it. 5 or 6 more episodes left!
Jason, maybe the Black Knights turned on Lelouch because he was not the “ally of justice” they thought he was? They now know that it was Lelouch who ordered Euphie to kill the Japanese. This did not sit well with Toudou who was also hit with Asahina’s last words. Then there was the possibility that Lelouch used the Geass on them (although he rarely did, he was saving it for times when he would need to).
And Ohgi probably had a little revenge on Diethard for the blackmail and Diethard is still making comments about how Ohgi was not a good leader. I think Ohgi needs to beat him up some more.
Also, what is with Anya’s plug suit? It exposes so many critical areas. Do the Britannians not want their loli Knight to survive? Not that I am complaining or anything…
ubu: With diplomacy like that, you wonder how Nihon ended up in a no-win war vs. Brittania in the first place.
So Carl Rove and Dick Cheney are running Brittania?
Obviously, it’s not necessary to have schemers of such talent on the Brittanian side, given the diplomatic acumen shown by the Japanese/OotBK.
Let’s see, they get backed into a no-win war, their leader is offed by his own 12-year-old son; Ougi’s resistance cell can’t tell the difference between a cannister of poison gas and a demigoddess-in-a-box; Toudou’s chapter seems tactically adequate and strategically inept, plus the whole lot of them contains only one ace pilot and two lolis capable of pointing out what a stupid bunch of sell-outs the OotBK is. And one ex-TV exec who finally notices that the remaining leader of the Black Knights is thinking with his gonads, not his brains… only a couple of episodes after having used those gonads to blackmail him.
Excuse me? Diethard must have beat himself up with his own stupidity. It would explain much.
The Holy Brittanian Empire doesn’t need Cheney and Rove to run circles around this lot. They could appoint Pee Wee Herman as Foreign Minister, and and own Mt. Fuji by the end of the day. (And he’d probably get the lolis thrown in for good measure.)
Oh, and not only did Cornelia show some really nice ass, I think she’s been spending time in Kallen’s glass box. Damn, but those are some respectable “tracts of land!”
You know, maybe the room that box is in is actually shaped like a pyramid… I remember nonsense about “pyramid power” back in the 70’s; supposedly they could make your razor blades sharp again and perform all kinds of miracles.
Wait, don’t tell me. . .
“Forget C14L1S!! Please her always with your Pyramid-powered p3n1s!!!”
ARGGHH!! Must. Scrub. Brains!
I don’t understand what’s going on even in the slightest anymore. All I have left to hope for is 6 episodes of Kallen “taking care of” C.C.
Sadly, I don’t think we’ll get that.
I’m interested in the reasoning behind Lulu being dumb enough to enter in after his father before sealing the exit when he could have just as easily done it from outside. Then again, it’ll probably just be ignored, as is the Sunrise way.
“Knightmare of Nunally?” Looks more like “Strike Geass: Neuroi of Nunally” to me. And just think of the bonus lack of pants gives to Brittanian female-costumes!
I just want to know exactly what Bismark’s geass power is. Or was he geassed? Either way, there’s something with that red glowing sewn up eye of his.
>“Knightmare of Nunally?†Looks more like “Strike Geass: Neuroi of Nunally†to me. And just think of the bonus lack of pants gives to Brittanian female-costumes!
I am suddenly interested in where this post is going.
In terms of who is dressed up most like a hooker…
Cecile in that red dress from that chapter before the OotBK went to the iceberg. Couple that with mad billiard skills. Hooker, I think that’s how she pays for all of Lloyd’s mecha toys.
Lulu could have left himself outside, but atm he doesn’t have any reason to live. So why not to piss his father off by staying in.
And why they can’t use any other exit’s….
I was just about to say the same exact thing.
Plus, didn’t he destroy the alter thing when he rescued C.C, so in combination with the fact he has nothing outside, why not. But, with them introducing possibly 2 Geass’s in this episode, I find the odd’s pretty high of another one with an even more ridiculous power coming along.
Bismark’s Geass makes him GAR.
“Lelouche vi Brittania commands: You will become GAR!”
Ooh, could I get that geass?
“Hold me!” (Lelouche, moments later.)
nevermindnevermind Never Mind, NEVER MIND!!! AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
O-shi, it seems they actually PLANNED this since the beginning.
Proof: From the beginning of the very first episode of R1:
http://i36.tinypic.com/xg9l6o.png
Also shows C.C. what appears to be waking up for a couple frames at the very beginning, perhaps from the aftermath of a previous “world”.
Due to that screenie, C.C. needs to have known Lulu from somewhere, perhaps from a different “world” that existed prior to the last activation of Ragnarok.
Then again, maybe I’m overthinking things, and we’re actually going to end with the biggest trainwreck ending since… R1?
I have a theory…
The really real reason why
Gendou IkarkiEmperor Wakamoto wants to initiate theHuman Instrumentality ProjectRagnarok is to make the world anew and revive his departedYuiMarianne, who also was a test pilot and her soul still lingers insideEVA unit 01Anya. His cold attitude towads his son,ShinjiLelouch, however is just because he’s an a-hole.…IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!1!oneone
Isn’t 2012 the supposed end of the world according to the Mayans? It looks like Clamp had not gotten over X/1999.
Yeah, but the Mayan calender doesn’t reset until mid-late December in 2012…so the Summer Olympics are still on.
“It doesn’t explain why it’s a trainwreck. It just explains why it doesn’t fit Taniguchi’s vision, might might have been an even larger trainwreck. (Keep in mind he’s the director of Mai Hime.)”
As far as I know, Mai Hime was directed by Masakazu Obara. I think Taniguchi has only been directing with Sunny (my new nickname for Sunrise. What? After watching like ten of their animes, we are not allowed to get intimate?) on S-CRY-ed and Planetes.
I liked this episode, even though it could have been better! Damn all this budgeting! I say they should suck all the money out of Tiera’s bishounen moments in Gundam 00 (’cause they probably cost them like half the show) and pour it into more of Nina’s and Lulu’s facial contortions. A few more Suzaku “Hahaha”s and Xing-Ke’s blood coughing wouldn’t harm either.
PS: What is it with you guys and “trainwreck� People die in these things dammit! v.v
Now the doujin of Anya #$%!ing with Lulu is much more disturbing.
World’s ending again? Damn. These things just won’t stop after 2k
CG 21 is out.
… HOLY SHIT is the only response suitable for the twists there.
Note to the wise: Sunrise is mining Mai Otome for plot ideas again.
Oh my god CG R2 is getting beyond stupid…
