By far, the geassest episode.
Everything has gotten way too fast to try to even absorb what’s going on. Let’s just cut to the chase this week…
OH GEASS NO!
Probably a shock to no one that after Suzaku and Lulu joined forces, we are treated to the “geassest” episode ever of Code Geass. I mean… wow… Lulu and Suzaku hanging out with horses talking about their feelings with Suzaku obeying Lulu’s commands… did Sunrise suddenly get overrun with BL fangirls?
And all the women on the show realized this and have started shunning him. A woman’s scorn has no equal when you dump her for Suzaku, I guess. C.C. hardly pays Lulu any more attention. She also reverted back to her insane asylum outfit.
Kallen opens up to Lulu, kisses him, and then basically pleads for him to take her before Lulu gives her the cold shoulder. Kallen– KALLEN!!– even gives up.
(Yes, I’m very disappointed at how this storyline ended. If we can get a whole arc as Shirley’s swan song, why do we only get 60 seconds of uncomfortable Kallen and Lulu screentime? I’m also really disappointed that we’re out of melonpan for Lulu to either get killed or turn away.)
Sayonara, sayonara, it’s a long, long goodbye.
And he even disgusted and turned away his previous loli-empress-fiancee. Loved Sumeragi’s reaction to Lulu trying to rape the democratic process like the Republican party.
Lulu even lost Nunnally. He managed to piss off and turn four women who were very fond of him away from him this episode. Has any anime character gone from a pantheon-class harem to just Suzaku and Orange-kun faster than Lulu? If Kyou and Ryou bawling after seeing Tomoya being overprotective of Nagisa is a 10 out of 10, then what’s happened with C.C., Kallen, Sumeragi, and Nunnally is a solid 10,000,000 out of 10. But… wait a sec…
“Onii-san… Suzaku… I am your enemy.”
*shakes head*
Sunrise being Sunrise…
*sigh*
(Probably fitting that my 1,499th post involved a classic Sunrise being Sunrise moment. Doesn’t dull the pain though.)
That’s a flaming outfit. It’s past fabulous. Even the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy cast are speechless.
Also doesn’t help that Suzaku’s looks like a nice match to Lulu’s… was that also partly why it took them a month to take over Britannia? Lulu and Suzaku were bouncing new outfit ideas off of each other during their pillow talk?
More toy whoring! Every ultimate version of a mobile suit that Sunrise designs seems to have wings. At least they’re moving away from ridiculous actual feathers from the redesigned Wing Zero.
More pizza whoring! I can’t believe Pizza Hut is still affiliated with this show.
(I wonder when they show this episode in the US… or any other episode with Pizza Hut… do they alter the images to remove the logos? I gave up watching the crappy dub on CN, so if anyone could fill me in, that’ll be great.)
Monica!!! At least she threw an emo facial distortion before Suzaku killed her. Though I like how Suzaku targeted the remaining female members (sans Anya) of the Rounds before proceeding to attack the male members (and ultimately sparing Gino).
What happened to Rakshata’s pipe? And is her outfit getting 5% skimpier with each passing episode?
Dear Tamaki,
Your application for the Rukia All-Stars has been received and rejected. The criteria is “usefulness” not “being a dumb ass.” Though that does make you pretty average for a Code Geass R2 character.
Regards,
The Committee
They’re doing the negotiations in the school gym… I would have loved to see Rivalz or someone else shooting hoops in the background. It honestly wouldn’t have made things more ridiculous.
Speaking of Rivalz, once Lulu had Suzaku, he doesn’t need Rivalz anymore.
Lulu’s and Suzaku’s love overcame Bismarck’s might. That’s what the fight boiled down to, Albion and it’s void magic be damned.
(If Bismarck had a geass that allows him to see the future, shouldn’t he be on Mirai Nikki and not in this mess? I’m also glad Lulu is such an awesome strategist that he’s utilizing Orange-kun’s geass canceler so well the past few episodes. Oh wait…)
One thing I can’t fault Lulu for: increasing the meido population. Andohbytheway, right now, I have ranked (for currently airing shows):
1. “I used to do that when I was a schoolgirl” Tome
2. Marianne and Lucienne
3. Sayoko (*shakes head* Sunrise being Sunrise *sigh*)
And, finally, from last time…
Tetsuei: Sunrise being Sunrise… Jason, are you thinking what I’m thinking? We’ve now got the ManRam of anime studios…
Can we trade Sunrise to the Dodgers?
shirokiryuu: Why are they still in their Ashford uniforms? Is that the only set of clothes they own?
Their new outfits were still being built with the utmost care by Lloyd and a team of monkeys smoking weed. That’s also kinda how Sunrise writes their scripts.
(And the outfits could have been worse…)
Kotetsu: Is it a bad thing that my only reaction to this episode was “WTF, Brittanian dressmakers, you really failed Marianne big time�
They then overcompensated for Lulu and Suzaku.
Megaman0: For some reason it seems that the WWE and Code Geass have the same writers…I mean son gets defeated, dissapears and suddenly comes back better than ever.
Also like the WWE, they have really homoerotic outfits and the policy of trotting out new black wrestlers just to have to lose immediately.
Phuong: Sunrise found a new way to be environmentally friendly by recycling old lines. xD
That’s like the tenth time I’ve seen that line used with Sunrise, so that joke itself is nicely recycled. A few previous examples:
“I remember Jason commenting how Sunrise was being environmentally sound by recycling plot lines, but now they’re recycling within the same series! (Jounin)” – Code Geass R2 7
“At least Sunrise is being environmentally friendly, it’s recycling old plot points!†Gundam 00 5
“Sunrise? Recycling lines? Uh, so we Hige spouting Lulu’s line on top of a train while holding onto a school girl in a miniskirt.” – Mai Otome 0~s.ifr~ 1
“At least Sunrise is being environmentally sound: they’re recycling old plot material. Ba-do-boom! Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week.” – Code Geass 19 (one of the nakkid Kallen episodes)
Basically, it’s really, really hard to write about a Sunrise anime without sounding like a broken record just because of the source material. Sunrise should really try to do a shoujo series next (801-chan is available!) just because their classic tropes would work nicely there.
Skyman747: I thought of something else. How the hell did they get out of the World of C? Technically, shouldn’t Charles have had all the powers of C.C, meaning if she could have gotten out then he should have? Plus, we wasted almost 2 seasons of lelouch trying to find out who killed his mother to have it end up being him who will really finish her off?
You’re thinking too much. Stop it. It’ll only cause pain and misery in the end.
Rosegirl18: And yay for Charles and Marianne! They love each other! Squee~!!! …Sunrise is doing a pretty good job of pleasing the ladies.
Yep… these are my readers.
(Um… maybe not.)

Am I the only one thinking what the fuck happened to Suzaku’s arms?
What’d he do? Spend the timeskip benchpressing Lulu outside in a beekeeper outfit with the sleeves missing?
If it weren’t for my habit of finishing what I start, I would have dropped this quite awhile back. I mean, they…they killed Monica.
This only reinforces the stereotype (more like fact, amirite?) that fangirls ruin everything.
CODE GEASS becomes the CODE GUST where all female characters died or lost their love for the male characters.
How it would be in the future….
Suzaku and Lelouch disappearing after the series is over.
Hope C.C. lives on if possible.
hurray for CC in a pink knightmare frame next episode… it’ll probably spot a large “powered by pizza butt” logo on it too.
oh my comment got eaten..
anyways… yay for CC in a pink knightmare frame next episode. It’ll probably spot a large “powered by pizzabutt” logo on it…
Actually, why did I go to the trouble of making up something that would protect his face, but not his shoulders, when I have a perfectly viable object in the Zero mask?
… Actually Jason, it seems that the royal capital got nuked by Damocles, so, yeah, no more Royal siblings-turned-meido.
I’m not really complaining, everything made sense (in a twisted sort of way), some folks’ theories on how Nunnally survived were spot on, and everything is set up for a final confrontation between siblings.
Too bad about the Knights of the Rounds though, but then again, fighting a 9th-gen KF with 7th generation Sutherlands is just asking for death.
And oh Jason, by the way… This obsession with transgendered Lulu and Suzaku is getting WAY out of hand. Heck, I was even scratching my head when I viewed that waitress-fuku pic, since, y’know, the pantsu-shot is ruined by the fact that there are BULGES readily apparent.
More evidence that I’m still unbroken, and I’m still straight!
I think Sunrise is making the plot according to 2chan posts …
Nunnally is popular? … lets get her back.
Sayoko is popular? … lets get her back.
Funny thing about that is that I think 90% of Geass posts are made as a joke or plain trolling, like when 4chan found about about the Bandai “post popular character” poll and massive voted for Clovis and he actually won.
Lulu and suzaku seem to be on the “lets unite the world – against us” trip. Didn´t we see that before (coughgundam00cough”
when i watched this episode, i remembered the clannad episode, too^^
apropo clannad: are you still playing the game? if yes, why isn’t there a update?
Phuong, Sunrise may be the most random anime studio out there with plenty of wtf moments but that doesn’t mean we dislike anime like Code Geass. It’s one of the things that makes it such an enjoyable series.
All in all a pretty entertaining episode as we return to what R2 has done best (compared to the other things R2 has done) Mobile suit fights (I mean Knightmare frame fights).
Quick notes: I hate how they’re suddenly trying to redeem Nina, Nunally isn’t dead I think there was no one who actually thought that she did die though I can’t wait to hear the explanation they’re going to give, with my vote going to Marianne wished it so, Sayoko returns in the next ep hopefully she will go back to her meido outfit instead of her Naruto one And with Kallen and Lelouch growing apart I still think the Suzaku or Lelouch dies ending “with the other living on one day at a time” happening.
~Also like the WWE, they have really homoerotic outfits and the policy of trotting out new black wrestlers just to have to lose immediately.~
ROFL and this just made my entire day…
Even with Sunrise screwing new plots of new series, they are doing a damn good job with Gintama.
“did Sunrise suddenly get overrun with BL fangirls?”
Wasn’t it decided they had been quite a while ago?
Haha, Well Nunnaly is on the same level with Indiana Jones then. She probably jumped in a fridge to survive the nuke, except she can’t jump in anything because her father geassed her into remembering that she is crippled.
Hmm, Kallen has been so angsty the last few episodes so she kisses Lulu then turns around and says goodbye. I don’t understand her logic at all. I don’t understand Sunrise logic at all. At the same time we got rid of a few extra characters like a bunch of the knights of rounds, most of them barely got any screen time. I’m glad Anya is still alive though.
Sayoko the ninja maid is still alive and awesome though. Maybe she’ll actually get some screen time if they stop showing Suzaku and Lulu spooning… That’s not going to happen…
Mysea Rei just joined Jason in denial. My god, Jason, what have you done?
Ah well, non-batshir insane Nina is actually rather.. cute. No wonder Rai got a scene with her in Lost Colors. Especially with her hair down – it looks like Fleija made the world safe for tables again.
Lulu is going to go emo again next episode, and probably going to seek comfort in the arms of his loving boyfriend, Suzaku.
SRS DISCUSSHUN TIEM
I will say I did like the subtle and yet not-so-subtle way they portrayed their facial reaction shots.
If you give static screenshots, they have the same exact expression, but you have to see it animated, aka the silent welling of Kallen’s eyes, as if she’s ready to get emotional, or even cry at any moment. Then it turns to Lelouche, who while, again has an incredibly similar expression, there’s no emotion in his eyes; it’s truly a cold, “…and?” glare.
He’s really telling her, “No, you’re not going to sacrifice your ideals, your work up until now, yourSELF, just because you have some stupid little puppy love for me.”
You know? In retrospect, it’s a lot like the scene when Lelouche is ready to give up being Zero…for whatever reason I don’t know probably because Suzaku revealed Nunnaly was alive to him.
Kallen goes out to find him. He goes in and tries to get some sympathy sex out of her, and she rejects him and says they can’t afford for him to lose to his personal feelings anymore, he can’t let himself be the Lelouche-nii-sama anymore, he has to be Zero.
Turn it around, and we have Lelouche telling her she can’t afford to lose all the things she’s done, she stands for, etc, so she can be with him, only with a LOT less words.
The Pizza Hut logos are replaced with generic pizza-company stuff when applied to pizza boxes for the International releases. I’m assuming it’s been done at Sunrise, as had I not known that they were originally Pizza Hut, I’d have never have guess.
Cheese-kun made it intact, though.
I just think it is sad that this gets subbed in under 24 hours of airing by 3 different fansub groups, and Kogarashi is still waiting for it’s last three eps to be subbed. I don’t even thing Minami-ke took this long to be finished to be subbed.
Damn those knights got pwned with ease. too bad for monica…
The episode was a bit of a surprise. I will say this now; I am pro LuluXKallen but that kiss scene, although it seemed nice, felt more like a test for Lulu, in which to Kallen’s eyes, he failed. But I can kinda understand why he did that so he may not involve her in his “Zero Reqiuem”. Also, lulu’s reason for the whole thing is understandable, making his image much more worse so Euphy’s image won’t look as bad anymore. More like steps to atonement but for a larger goal.
As for nunnally, it was no surprise that she would be alive and be used as a tool for schniezel (most likely). however, no offense to nunnally fans, she was sorta better off dead but I can see that it will complicate things for Lulu and suzaku. Still a few more episodes so we shall see what the outcome of this “sibling rivalry.”
NO KALLEN!!!!!!! Wait if kallen doesn’t end up with lulu(because lulu’s butt buddies with suzaku) then we can only hope the a kallenXc.c or a threesome with millay and c.c. A MAN CAN DREAM.
With almost all the females either shunned or killed, I’m now rooting for sayoko, she’s the only one left with a chance to bring lulu back from the grips of suzaku!
Nunnaly tries so hard to prevent needless death and suffering in the last 40-something episodes. This episode she comes back and a drops a nuke killing millions…wha? Seriously, she doesn’t even give a heads up saying “We’re dropping a nuke unless you do X ?”.
Hoho. I hope Nunnally makes Lulu cry. That’d be really great.
And…. Nunnally ends up monopolizing on all the world’s nukes.
wow FINALLY someone had the brains to say something to Tamaki. Then again, figures it came from the best brain in OoBK.
If Saito has the brains to just change into an outfit like Lulu’s, he can actually get scored by girls without interruption since Louise wouldn’t recognize him.
quote “I mean… wow… Lulu and Suzaku hanging out with horses talking about their feelings with Suzaku obeying Lulu’s commands…”
I think my theory where r3 is about lulu and suzaku starting a horse ranch after taking over the world has been partially vindicated.
Also i fully agree with you on the medio rankings i cheered several times during that episode of chiko. Mook A is a lucky jerk, he’s getting of light with a broken face and getting hit by thousand medio hand slap.
Oh dear, I knew nunally would come back seeing as on the official website she was just “Whereabouts Unknown” unlike Princess Rambo who was actually listed dead. They also just had to add another Geass to the show. They reveal that Bismarck had Geass, then kill him.
P.S. About the Pizza Hut in the dub, they Censor it out. I wonder if one of these days the Lancelot Albion will get a Bumper Sticker with the Pizza Hut logo on it.
Wow, after watching this episode I said to myself
“I love to see the cridicts find a excuse to hate on this episode”
ALl the bloggers are just plain haters, this show is 100% entertainment, even if some of the stuff dosn’t make sense, it’s a cartoon! It’s not sapposed to be realistic!
And I clearly understood what was going on, it’s not that this show is too fast you’re just too slow.
One other thing, how can you possible say that C.C is giving him the cold shoulder? It looks to me like C.C is just being plain old C.C, and as for Kaguya that wasn’t her in disgust, that was her sheilding her eyes from Lelouch’s geass. And the whole SuzakuXLelouch thing is really annoying if you actully payed attention to what they say instead of ranting about Sunrise being Sunrise you would understand that they’re just trying to redeem Euphies name and set the world straight once again they’re not doing it because they kissed and made up and want to be best freinds again you fucking morons.
My head hurts.
Why do they need Nina, again? Shouldn’t Lloyd be able to backwards engineer one? I mean, he freakin’ modified the Guren, so it’s obvious he’s not THAT retarded a scientist.
Kallen’s “sayonara” came out of the blue, there, I have no idea what’s going on. Shouldn’t she put up more of a fight? Did Lelouch eat a bunch of garlic before he went in to prevent her from getting close? Wouldn’t having the Guren AND Lancelot make for the best duo? Why wouldn’t he want Kallen on his side?
If Sayako is alive, wouldn’t she technically go right back to Lelouch’s side, instead of handing Nunnally to Schniezel?
Why doesn’t Cornelia pilot anymore? Isn’t she technically one of Britannia’s Aces?
Nunnally sided with Schneizel WAY too fast, without listening to Lelouch or Suzaku’s side of the story. How can she be sure he’s the good guy? He just bombed a damn city… I thought she could spot liars!!!
I guess asking for a plot that isn’t full of gigantic holes is too much to ask for from Sunrise. But at least this means that Christine has a chance of coming back in Gundam 00…
Anyone mind if I repost my “if Sunrise made a Cowboy Bebop 2” thing? It was inspired by the rumours regarding this week’s plot twist, and I don’t think anyone read it in the preBT anime post because I posted it so late anyway:
They could bring Spike back from the dead! And have him fight the resurrected Julia who’s being controlled by the resurrected Vicious! And then, through the magic of carpet WTF bombing the plot with “what a twist!†moments, Julia would somehow disappear, leaving Spike and Vicious free to pursue the love they always denied: each other.
Of course, there are some issues to be worked out: what the exact plot twists would be, what moe catchphrase to give Ed, what random new ships to give Spike in order to allow him to defeat the challenge of the week, and how to reintroduce the trap guy as a trap cyborg, but he, it would be SUNRISE writing it. I’m sure their exceptionally talented writing team would be up to the task.
>>He just bombed a damn city… I thought she could spot liars!!!
Technically she couldn’t spot him because she’s blind (sorry, I couldn’t resist.)
But yeah, Sayako should have protected her, but we really don’t know what the hell FLEIA did to everyone, so they might have been seperated.
This was a pretty ‘geassy’ episode, but the Gurren Lagann Movie Commercial in the middle of the episode manned it up a bit. 30 seconds of manliness amidst 22 minutes of…’geassiness’. Unfortunately I’m not sure if it balanced out at all.
this is really OMGWTF is going on. princesses becoming domestic help, geassing an entire nation to be an emperor, introducing and killing off female characters on a whim. plus now we have Lulu who will need to go against his beloved sister who has an armory full of nuclear warheads.
good thing sayoko is back.
I’m just watching the episode now, and Bismarck has the Sharingan?! Messed up.
Anyone notice how Lulu’s become even more feminin with the emperor clothes? Anyone else notice how Suzu’s outfit is like the male match for Lulu’s.
anyone else notice that everything is too white and lovely!!!!
I gave up a long time ago to try and use any logic on this series. Now Nunnally is Lelouch’s enemy? This new Damocles thing blew up Pendragon to the skies (a 100 km diameter) but nobody on Nunnally’s side seems to be mouring the dead. And WTF is this Requiem of Zero thing that Lelouch was talking about?
I don’t care anymore.
Two men, two horse. Am I watching Brokeback Mountain?
Just wait until episode 26, where Gintoki arived in Brittania and the series will be renamed into Geasstama. LOL
Looks like FLEIA doesn’t actually kill people, seeing as Nunnally’s ALIVE. On the other hand, Sayoko was all bandaged up (which could explain how Nunnally ended up on Team Schniezel). But I don’t think Nunnally really cared about the capital getting FLEIA’d, seeing as how she herself was hit with one and, hmm, she’s not dead.
…Of course, this could just be another case of Sunrise being Sunrise, with Orange-kun galloping in on a magical golden steed to whisk the two of them away.
On the plus side, this means Guilford’s prolly alive, meaning Lulu can finally complete his harem of supporting male characters.
But seriously, I’ve been watching this show primarily to see a KallenxLulu ending. It’s been pretty obvious now from the last couple of episodes of the two becoming distanced (and oh, maybe, the x number of episodes Kallen was imprisoned), but I was hoping that the ridiculous plot twists would work in my favor for once. Well, with any luck, it’ll turn into a battle for Lulu’s love between Kallen and Suzaku.
As for Bismark’s Geass… did he really need to take of the rivets? I mean, it was pretty obvious from his earlier fight with Suzaku that he had a Geass (that’s what I assumed the purple-pink light coming from his eye was…unless he was secretly the Knight of FABULOUS~), and I presumed he could use it, even if his eye wasn’t exposed. My hope now is that the Bismark action figures come with eye-rivet-popping action…
14:10
Kallen: What are you trying to accomplish this time?
Lelouch: Same thing I do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!
Wow, one obvious plot twist after another. I do hope they do something different though… such as Lulu and Schneizel dueling on top of a giant pizza next week.
… well, they might as well, seeing that the plot isn’t going anywhere.
This is turning out like Fire Emblem Path of Radience and Radiant Dawn.
In PoR, Ike has his choice of pretty much any girl he wants, in the end you simply figure he was too busy to get busy.
Then on Radiant Dawn, you figure out that Ike actually runs away with the dude who only LOOKS like a girl.(Soren.)
I think Sunrise just thinks that if they keep on digging they will reach the other side.
>>Sayonara, sayonara, it’s a long, long goodbye.
HOW DO I LIVE WITHOUT YOU
I WANT TO KNOW
HOW DO I BREATHE WITHOUT YOU
WILL YOU EVER GO
HOW DO I EVER, EVER SURVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
HOW DO I
HOW DO I
OH HOW DO I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
I’m pretty sure I got some parts of that wrong. Like you had with the Diamond Crevasse pre-chorus. D:
On this episode’s note, the most RAGE-worthy scene was Monica’s 3 seconds of screen time. Sunrise better have a good picture drama or two to cover her and the rest of the Knight of Rounds. What a waste of awesome character designs.
People, please, Nunnally’s survival didn’t come out of nowhere, and if many of you actually paid attention, you would actually notice that the whole escape sequence was actually ‘off’; in fact, it’s one of the main reasons why this theory (as eloquently explained by another blogger, and predicted several episodes ago) made sense.
Which was why it was ignored.
Sheesh. One person gets it right, but people still think it’s an contrived plot twist. Camera angles and timing, dear readers: it was pretty obvious that there were two shuttles (Heck, REWATCH THE EPISODE WHERE FREIJA WAS USED), and Nunnally’s shuttle was already well on its way before Rohenmeyer’s (which, if anything, looks like it was meant to be a decoy).
Sunrise is running out of plot twists. I didn’t even blink when Nunnally appeared. A part of me had always thought it would transpire like this.
You know all this Lelouch and Suzaku nonsense has made us forget about the bigger and more important issue at hand…did Alto and Sheryl have sex or not?!!!!
Apparently we’ll be getting KarenxGino next episode to make up for her few minutes of screentime this episode.
Also, shouldn’t all the pew pew lasers fired by Lancelots wings I don’t know… drain power or something. Remember in S1 when they actually had to replace Lancelots power/sakuradite pack. Or have we gone beyond the point of no return with Knightmares now running on Fabulousness!
I get it now. The whole Code Geass series is just an experimental spinoff that comes out of the combined staff of writer’s assess that are employed by Sunrise while smoking bad weed by watching Brokeback Mountain combined with Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. With Mecha (of course its Sunrise). With 24. Look at the fucking horses. Its black and white!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
Either that or their weed supplier got busted and has gotten a poor quality grass instead. Or its just Sunrise being Sunrise.
Lulu is an epic failure as a lead. Imagine being shunned by C.C out of all people. That’s like Tomoya being shunned by Tomoyo, Ryou and Kyou and Kotomi combined. Just pathetic. Even Haruhi Suzumiya will face-palmed at his ridiculous excuse for existing in the first place.
And his clothes are gaudy. I would like to see Lulu try to don the same clothes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let’s see how long he can walk before he will be pelted by bullets. Preferably headshot….^^
Yawn. Like the world of Code Geass after a 100 km wide nuclear blast, my reaction to ep 22 is, “So what?”
Reviving dead characters, wasting other characters that had “served their purpose”, ramping up FABULOUS clothes and OH GEASS NOS, today’s episode was completely “meh” worthy. The previous episode really raised the bar for genuine WTF and trainwrecky moments. I still haven’t fully recovered from unemotional patricide, bodi-loli possession, ROCKETMOTO, geassing God/a giant body of gas, and BeenHangingFromTheRoofJustWaitingToBreakSpears-zaku.
If Alto starts growing virus crystals like Sheryl and Ranka…then yes, he total did.
I CONTINUE TO SPIN!!!
I CONTINUE TO SPIN!!!!!!
man, im sick of this, no more Karen, shot me goddamit, at least lulu orange. a fine citrus gentlemen, now just wait for the end, i can accept other season, with more Kaguya and Karen
Regardless of whether or not Sunrise had a plan to save Nunnally I am sure that by the series end most of the women will be dead at the rate we are going. Nunnally will be dead very soon after her resurrection… Such a shame that it had to come to this, but I don’t see much of the female cast living to see the end given how they are so intent on keeping LuluxSuzaku. Not sure if I can say ALL HAIL BRITTANIA! with the same gusto seeing how the empire has decayed so much with this new regime change.
Next episode Nunnally finally trots out the most original mecha in the series yet a wheelchair with Varis rifles welded on to the sides!
Suzaku’s worst mistake… Letting Gino Live
LoL, I know how Nunnally survived.
While making the FLEIJA bomb, Nina made a miscalculation and made it so that FLEIJA’s blast just teleports everything away into random places instead of disintegrating it, and it just so happened that Nunnally was teleported to Schneizel and Sayoko to a hospital.
They should top this revival by Euphy’s ….
Anyways , the only thing that’s keeping Suzaku from being Kira is Fllay/Lacus
Memex: Sadly, no. Do I have to REALLY post the actual animesuki thread where the explanation was posted?
Nope, just visit Kai’s blog.
My question now…. who the hell is Kallen standing next to in the next episode preview? Is it Gino? Is it Schneizel? WHO?!
If I could be anything when I grow up, it would to be a Code Geass character because they just dont die.
Okay,
I’m only gonna mention this one more time before everyone forgets when the series is over… but…
What the fuck happened to the whole “Xingke has an incurable disease that could take his life at any moment” plot device? Did it suddenly stop off-screen in the name of Chinese loli sexing? Or is Sunrise just hoping we forgot?
It’s seriously bothering me every time I see that guy’s dumb face off in the background and he gets like one or two lines and everyone ignores him. YOU SHOULD BE DEAD, FAGGOT.
@mm23: There is a possibility that the hand with blood on it in the (extended) preview for 23 is Xingke’s, so…he might still have it.
“Lulu and Suzaku hanging out with horses talking about their feelings with Suzaku obeying Lulu’s commands…”
I am afraid this is the plot for the next season “Brokeback Geass”
“Kallen– KALLEN!!– even gives up.”
Not even Kallen can stop the power of Yaoi Geass…
“And he even disgusted and turned away his previous loli-empress-fiancee. Loved Sumeragi’s reaction to Lulu trying to rape the democratic process like the Republican party.”
Disgusting, unforgivable, and dastardly!!!! Leave our lolis alone!!!!
“Monica!!! At least she threw an emo facial distortion before Suzaku killed her.”
Dammit, stop killing the hawt women!!!!!
“increasing the meido population.”
only to be decimated… dammit sunrise!!!!!!
I never knew that Rakshata can make me laugh. She said that one line that everybody thought but never said it about Tamaki. “You really are stupid” lol :D That was an epic win for me.
And I think that Schneizel el Britannia is the real villian in the show. because do u really think that he will let Nunally become the empress of the world. He just told everybody that when she is crown, He will marry her and become the emperor. Wouldn’t surprise me if he got a geass himself with all the plot twist I’ve seen of Sunrise.
At the rate they’re killing off characters (even taking into consideration the rate at which they’re resurrecting characters), I can’t help but wonder if we’re heading toward an EoE ending: Nina makes a couple extra tweaks to FLEIJA and accidentally triggers the Third Impact. Then, Lulu and Suzaku would have the opposite problem that Shinji and Asuka did: they have the desire, but not the biology to repopulate the world.
0% surprised that Nunnally was alive, but the timing and setup of the announcement of her return was fantastic.
On the tangent topic for this post: my favorite recent Tome scene was her changing the title card for the Detective
WomenGirls episode. Fourth walls are for losers.Oh wow – I was the most ridiculous “last reader comment” this time???
Come on…I was just being sarcastic! <3
So Nunally is alive…how did I know that this was going to happen? Ugh…Sunrise, Sunrise, Sunrise…
Is it sad that the most interesting thing I found from this episode was Gino’s personal identity crisis? And aren’t there like six knights we haven’t even seen yet?
I still think Sneezy is the good guy here, Lulu has ‘made the world his enemy’ so Sneezy is fighting for the world, thus he is good right? Cause Lulu is going outright for a dictatorship, whilst Sneezy is helping a loli princess fight her brother.
I can’t help but wonder if Sunrise actually think that Suza and Lulu are just best friends, that they really have no romantic connection between the two. I mean it is hard to believe, but seeing as we have gone this far without proof along the lines of a morning after shot or even a kiss… (Personally my hope is on Milly to bring Lulu back into hetro-land.)
I want a revival of at least Euphie, maybe Mao too, seeing as he had the double Geass, meaning he had to be close to C.C killin’ level right? Also if Orange-kun used his Geass canceller on Euphie she’d be back to normal and take Suza from Lulu. I will not be satisfied unless Sunrise ends this in a truly tragic and trainwrecked way.
Also if Orange-Kun used his Geass canceller on Nunally would she be able to see and walk?
>>>Nina makes a couple extra tweaks to FLEIJA and accidentally triggers the Third Impact.
I’m assuming we’ll see something akin to half of a naked table lying in a ocean of LCL while Lulu and Suzaku revel in their post apocalyptic OH GEASS NO end times.
And so what happens to all those who said Nunally was dead? Impale them on stakes and hang them to dry under the sun? Wait, It’s better to Impale the Sunrise Staff for trolling the lot of us ya? PUNKZ NOT DEAD!!!! PUNKZ NOT DEAD!!!!!! DON’T TASE ME BRO!
>>>And aren’t there like six knights we haven’t even seen yet?
I think you blinked when they all were introduced/killed.
>>>Sadly, no. Do I have to REALLY post the actual animesuki thread where the explanation was posted? Nope, just visit Kai’s blog.
Explanation or not, it’s still dumb and troll-like of Sunrise, and making it a JUST AS PLANNED moment doesn’t suddenly make it all better or absolve them of their crimes against anime.
Sunrise, the only animation studio that can make small, southeast Asian countries seem important. Really, who builds a high tech research facility in Cambodia? And on nuclear physics of all things?!
Wait, so Lulu kills off his parents in order to preserve humanity’s free will, then promptly geasses himself an uber-loyal doom squad? Man, when he goes in the deep end, he cannonballs that shit!
On the plus side, ninja meido’s back.
I miss Rolo. If only he succeeded in killing Nunnally…
*sigh*
Thus our tale is coming to an end. an end in which almost every female character in this series is being killed off like in a witch hunt, every male character in the world is either broken or dead, and no other fast food place other that pizza hut survived.
just in case no one answered yet, they do censor the pizza hut logo on the CN showings. why? I don’t know or understand. But one thing I’ve wanted to know this whole time, why does Japanese pizza look soooo fancy? its got those mini hot dog like things as the surrounding crust and all those toppings placed perfectly symmetrical on the pizza. On another note, I wouldn’t put it past sunrise to get to the final 2 minutes of the last episode, have lulu on the verge of death or complete victory, just to have the words “Simulation Terminated” pop up in red, bold, and blinking. A complete slap in the face to every Geass fan on the planet.
I’m so beyond caring about anything besides Orange-kun’s hotness and oscillating frequency of appearance.
Boy, I’m glad Nina is still around to hate; I just pity everyone else in this series right now, but Tablehump-tan is so beyond anything more than pure loathing.
A little while ago I finally watched Escaflowne and I was stunned. The difference between the Sunrise that created Escaflowne and the Sunrise that created Code Geass is like between night and day. I started watching it expecting skimpy outfits, nonsensical plotlines, Cheese-kun and toy whoring (is that a verb: to toy whore?), but it actually made sense. I think the old Sunrise has broken me.
Anyway this episode manages to suprize me in no way whatsoever. Right now, I do hope that Schneizel and his cronies win, because Lelouch has lost every trace of my sympathy thanks to this episode. Schneizel might turn out to be an asshole, but at least he’s a consistent asshole.
samuraiguy: of course! Pizza Hut was the only restaurant to survive the Franchise Wars. Now all restaurants are Pizza Hut.
You know that game where someone draws a head, then covers it all up except the bottom bit, and then the next person draws the body based on that small bit, then covers up all but the bottom bit and another person draws the legs and so forth, until at the end everything’s revealed, and you’ve got some sort of whacky looking monster? This has to be the way Sunrise wrote this season of Geass. I see no other explanation for the reams of wild character and plot inconsistencies.
And Lulu, Kallen deserved better than your best Nagato impression. Jerk.
Oh no, I disobeyed Jason and thought some more D:
Well, here is what ran through my head. Couldn’t Orange use his Geass Canceller and cure Nunally of her crippleness, since she was blind from seeing her mom die, and im-mobilized due to bullet wounds, that were really just implanted memories. Then again, not being used for how many years, her legs would probably collapse when she tried to stand up, then when she opened her eyes, the flow of light might blind her. Now wouldn’t that be ironic.
I didn’t realize at first, because of sexy Orenji…
But…
Why did the Emperor have a grave…?
I mean, they didn’t know he was dead before Lulu told them, and constructing one in a couple of weeks only to have it burnt to the ground seems… well… disregarding this being Code Geass, counterproductive…
And why would Charuru build himself a tomb when he intends to live forever like the Evangelion father he is?
And, if it was a family tomb… WHY WERE THERE STATUES OF THE CURRENT EMPEROR IN IT!? D:
*brain melts*
They can’t keep plot-consistency for one episode! SHAME!
>>What the fuck happened to the whole “Xingke has an incurable disease that could take his life at any moment†plot device? Did it suddenly stop off-screen in the name of Chinese loli sexing? Or is Sunrise just hoping we forgot?
Hikaru Midorikawa happened, that’s what.
>>Also doesn’t help that Suzaku’s looks like a nice match to Lulu’s… was that also partly why it took them a month to take over Britannia? Lulu and Suzaku were bouncing new outfit ideas off of each other during their pillow talk?
That’s what you get when Shonen shows are getting gayer than yaoi ones. This quote is prove enough.
>>2008 fireglz (18:28:43, #165815) :
This is turning out like Fire Emblem Path of Radience and Radiant Dawn.
In PoR, Ike has his choice of pretty much any girl he wants, in the end you simply figure he was too busy to get busy.
Then on Radiant Dawn, you figure out that Ike actually runs away with the dude who only LOOKS like a girl.(Soren.)
Odysseus in the army. How long do you think he’ll last…
after other soldiers found out that he was to be married to a loli?
And here’s to sexy badass Cornelia possibly piloting a Knightmare frame again.
Whatever it is that Sunrise artists and writers are on, I want some. Even if the court sentenced me to 25 life sentences, which brings the question of the purpose of multiple life sentences.
How is Kannon Schneizel’s aide again? He doesn’t do anything besides maybe pose a little. The least Sunrise could do is show him pouring tea or something. It’s bothering the hell out of me.
I don’t know about being pantheon-class, but I certainly recall someone going from waifu, mistress, lover, and the threesome pair to… being stabbed and then decapitated in a short while.
I can’t believe Kallen kissed this lame excuse for a main character and he still went hand in hand towards the sunset with his Susie bitch. The Antique Bakery cast looks like spartan rugby players compared to Lulu and Suzaku.
Still, I give Sunrise the benefit of the doubt. With 4 episodes remaining, I can still hope for Kallen being rewarded for following a complete jackass through two Sunrise-made seasons. Shit, she deserves a fucking monument.
Oh, and by the way: Nunally not being happily fabulous I-love-my-onii-san anymore? What are you going to do, give Lulu a “bad look”? “Kicking” his ass? HAHA. Give a fucking break.
That was quite a Nice Boat.
followup: umm.. how do i quote? XD everything inside the ” ” is a quote.
>>Quote: How is Kannon Schneizel’s aide again? He doesn’t do anything besides maybe pose a little. The least Sunrise could do is show him pouring tea or something. It’s bothering the hell out of me.
Cause 6pm JST can’t actually show what Kannon does for Sneezy.
You know if they actually ratify Sneezy and Kannon as the first official CG gay couple I will be satisfied and no longer need to watch the show.
I wonder how Cornelia would react is she was told Lulu is doing this half for the sake of white washing her sister’s name.
“Why did the Emperor have a grave…?”
it could be traditional, all emperors and princes/princesses probably either build a tumb/mausoleum or they get one
“What the fuck happened to the whole “Xingke has an incurable disease that could take his life at any moment†plot device? Did it suddenly stop off-screen in the name of Chinese loli sexing? Or is Sunrise just hoping we forgot?”
Did Sunrise ever made any sense since they made the second season?… no, for the sake of sanity let us just ignore it was ever mentioned…
Zalkyrie, everytime you use Sneezy to refer to Schneizel I keep thinking that Snow White is going to appear.
Also, if there are guards to guard the barrier around Ashford during the meeting, how is it that Rivalz was able to get to the top without anyone noticing? And he brought a ladder too for crying out loud.
Many episodes ago someone made a joke about at the end of this series that it will turn out the Nunnally will be the mastermind behind everything.
They were right. How did you know.
Anyway Bob from England is a genus.
And Taco Bell is not the winner of the franchise wars it it Pizza Hut. Long live Stuffed Crust
Does it really matter to Pepsi company which of their franchises ‘win’? I wonder if there are any Taco bells in Japan..if so, who will represent them in Code Geass? I can’t think of any character in the anime who loves Taco..
oh wait, Nina, of course! She loves Tacos! (and tables)
That’s right. People should learn that both Pizza Hut and Taco Bells (and a whole lot of other fast food brands) are owned by the same company. Pepsi. They’ll probably all survive, people like diversity. But one Indian lady will be making all the bucks though.
I think rivalz will be the one who would eat the Taco’s. Did you see the way he hopped the fence to get to Lulu?
>>Many episodes ago someone made a joke about at the end of this series that it will turn out the Nunnally will be the mastermind behind everything.
I can see her on that deserted island in the end, holding a trigger that just detonated FLEIJA bombs in every region of the world, then they will leave a hanger by having C.C.’s hand come out of a crater. Then they will make a spin-off of Knightmare of Nunally (Yes, a Spin-off of a Spin-off) into a crappy OVA where C.C. gives Nunally a giant drill themed robot and she fights the Anti-Spirals and saves the universe while screaming “WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM.” Then C.C. Dies by giving Nunally her code and nunally wanders the world with a pet mole-pig. O wait, wrong anime.
Is it just me? Or is Bismarck saying to Lulu, “YOU get to play butch tonight!!”
OH GEASS NO!!
Loved Sumeragi’s reaction to Lulu trying to rape the democratic process like the Republican party.

I’m the 99, just like Lully is the 99th Emperor of Britannia.
Who will be the 100th?
Bandai USA mentioned at their Otakon panel that they tried to get permission from Pizza Hut USA to use the logo, but they wouldn’t give permission.
@Adevanzo: Why couldn’t they just include a little thing saying “JP” on it or something and claim it as the Pizza Hut of Japan logo?
…Rather, in the first place, why didn’t Pizza Hut USA give permission?
Cat Megex
They might not want to be associated with an anime that involved nuking the capital of a country geographically based in the US. Or maybe it was the gay innuendos.
Or maybe they don’t want pizza to become a fetish (or be asked to make the topping like on CG)? C.C. and Cheese-kun would have to come into play at all Pizza Huts at that point.
@Ithekro
But I want Cheese-kun to come over to the US and besides some of the pizzas that they have over at the Asian countries seem delicious and stroke-inducing enough to be irresistible.
More toy whoring! Every ultimate version of a mobile suit that Sunrise designs seems to have wings. At least they’re moving away from ridiculous actual feathers from the redesigned Wing Zero.
So, a mecha has a higher profit-margin than a bunny-girl Kallen? Because I can see myself go for bunny-girl Kallen or yellow-tease-in-a-jar Kallen…
