Code Geass R2 — Episode 16

Code Geass R2

Episode 16 is a delightful episode because Kallen gets to kick ass and C.C. has transformed into a Mikuru-class moé powerhouse. *Puppy eyes* Well, there are various other interesting happenings in this episode too, but I think we should all pay much respect to the amount of effort spent by Sunrise in animating C.C.’s shy disposition to adorable perfection.

Summary

Code Geass R2

The United Federation of Nations is officially formed, spanning most of Asia and great portions of Europe and Africa. The member states renounce all rights to the maintenance of military power, and all matters which require military force are voted upon to be delegated to the independent Order of the Black Knights.

Code Geass R2
Zero is the CEO

This is a rather convenient arrangement for Zero, and I guess it means that existing armies are to be integrated into the Black Knights, since I don’t think the existing ragtag band of former terrorists is anywhere close to being resourceful enough to protect such a huge patch of territory. The first motion passed by the nearly formed supernational body is a request for the Black Knights to liberate Japan.

Code Geass R2
Being number ten, he clearly has an inferiority complex

Britannia mobilizes its military in preparation for an invasion of Area 11 by the Black Knights. In particular, Knight of One Bismarck Waldstein and Knight of Ten Luciano Brandli have been dispatched to Area 11, which means that there are now five Knights in Tokyo. However, the Emperor has gone missing, presumably still trapped in the funky floating platform place, and they can’t declare war without his approval.

Code Geass R2
kamu~

C.C. is all cute and innocent now. After losing all her memories of being old and cranky, she’s now Lelouch’s willing sex slave. It’s like in Chobits—which incidentally is by CLAMP—except that, unlike Chii, C.C. is actually anatomically correct. (Probably.) Vulnerable C.C. will surely prove to be great doujinshi material for the coming Comiket.

Thoughts

Cute C.C. is cute.

The whole UFN thing reeks of corruption and cronyism, but apparently none of the member nations pay much attention to the fine print in the constitution. The Federation theoretically has no military power, so the member nations have to trust the Black Knights to defend them. Despite the apparently democratic nature of the supernational government, the Black Knights itself is basically a totalitarian organization and its high ranking members are all hand-picked by its unelected leader, Zero.

Code Geass R2
Brainwashing the masses with loli propagandists

The vote to retake Japan is also quite a sham, since Kaguya is the one who calls for it and she’s a little girl. Who can say no to a loli pleading for you to help save her homeland from evil Britannian paedophiles? Not to mention that a good majority of the current Black Knights are Japanese soldiers, so it’s not like the vote would’ve changed their minds either way.

Other than that, this is mostly a build-up episode and we shall have to wait to see how the invasion unfolds.

    I think there’s a possibility that Villeta is pretending to be Oghi, seeing as the meeting is important and it seems like there would be a lot of questions asked if Oghi didn’t attend the UN Ratification. And Apparently it wasn’t Sayoko because she had an alibi.

  2. †§eraphim†~ says:

    Um… I have a question…….
    It doean’t have much AT ALL to do with this actual episode cuz i haven’t seen it so….
    WHERE THE **** CAN I D/L THIS EPISODE SUBBED!?!?!?!?
    My regular (realitylapse.com) is late D:<

  3. Omega Knighx says:

    Tamaki was um… the head of cleaning or sumthing

  4. blue says:

    Well, fast-paced episode was certainly fast-paced. And C.C is so incredibly moe. Lelouch shouldn’t have hit her ;_; Then again, it was interesting to see that he could show a side like that…

    Goddammit, looks like ALL the spoilers I read are going to come true. I fear that I know the sequence of main events almost right until the end. D:

    And I’m definitely cheering on Kallen.

  5. Omega Knighx says:

    Ah.. never mind, Tamaki is the internal cleaning supporter… i think.

    They really need to kill of that racist whore, Nina. Everyone knows that she was raping the table, looking a photos of Euphy right in front of Nunnally.

  6. SnooSnoo says:

    Next episode Lelouch will probably reveal the truth behind Euphemia and Shirley’s death. I don’t think Suzuka will be one of the final bosses. The OP seems to place more emphasis on the Emperor and Schneizel. Wait if C.C. memories were reverted then wouldn’t she only respond to her original name? Time for Lelouch to spill the beans and tell us what her real name is. >_>

    P.S. Nina HAS to die. If she doesn’t I’ll nuke Sunrise, one way or another. D:
    The Hotel Hijacking in Season 1 secured her a #1 place in my hate list. <_<

  7. SnooSnoo says:

    Oh sorry. Forgot to add. I bet Diethard is holding Viletta hostage. The Emperor probably rapes Anya when she was young but didn’t want to face the charges so he geassed her. I bet they are gonna introduce another Geass contractor sometime soon to balance things up. Also, Asahina will turn traitor. I think Bradley was the one who killed Kallen’s brother. So she better get her revenge later on.

  8. sandslayer says:

    I’m surprised you haven’t commented about Nena’s little toy, Freya, yet.

    Freya, damned thing…it just amplifies Nina’s craziness…I mean, she expects Suzaku to use it on his own people…why would anyone ask that of someone?

    either australia is its own super power now or everyone hates australia. i mean you got new zealand why not australia? it’s only a couple several miles away.

    Even in real life, Australia doesn’t really impact major world politics in my understanding, besides, the alternate universe thing probably made so that there were no settlers sent to Australia, it’s probably just Aborigine territory (if thats how you spell that).

    I think it’s neat to see how Sunrise managed to resurrect the series.(Relatively from the heights of the last season). It’s looking more and more juicy and fun. Hopefully the last 8 episodes won’t feel too rushed ._. but that’s my only fear. It looks like it’ll be quality.

    Resurrect? I’ve thought it was good since episode 1 (well actually I first started watching code geass when r2 episode 6 came out), so I just think it’s gotten better, not that it’s resurrected.

    The unification of the UNF makes sense up to the point of the disbanding of militaries and the immediate membership of the UN. Zero did manage to grab China’s lands pretty quickly. The small anime plot holes are in how the black knights have managed to recruit and prepare for a war so quickly and how it’s going to make sense that the entire war will be focused over the asian region with no further combat in Europe… I mean are there enough good commanders left?.?

    Small plot holes don’t influence the story much and usually makes it boring when they overexplain every little detail, besides, overthinking small details like this is why people go insane and shoot people.

    With regards to proving if Milly has feelings for Lelouch, you should check out the entire R1 season and R2 turn 12, which was her last appearance at Ashford Academy. Concentrate on her episode scenes carefully. The clues are there. However, I could be wrong about the whole thing. Also, check out the Code Geass Sound Episode 5, which talks about Milly and Lelouch meeting for the first time.

    I’ve been stating most of my theories with MillyxLelouch (not a chance) from the episodes directly, I’ve only seen 2 of the audio dramas (the one with the girls argueing over how Lelouch could beat Suzaku in a sport and episode 12.55, when Shirley is thinking those crazy thoughts about Lelouch while asking herself how she could ask him out, personally I found them hilarious). If you can provide an english translated version of that audio drama I’d be happy to watch it.

    Did anyone else see what Tamaki’s title was? I forget exactly what it was, but it was something utterly insignificant that made me lol a bit.

    It had something to do with cleaning…it was probably just to get a few laughs.

    I think there’s a possibility that Villeta is pretending to be Oghi, seeing as the meeting is important and it seems like there would be a lot of questions asked if Oghi didn’t attend the UN Ratification. And Apparently it wasn’t Sayoko because she had an alibi.

    I’m thinking more along the lines of prisoner but we won’t know till the other episodes air.

    Well, fast-paced episode was certainly fast-paced. And C.C is so incredibly moe. Lelouch shouldn’t have hit her ;_; Then again, it was interesting to see that he could show a side like that…

    He was just frustrated and scared, I actually found that scene touching, the new C.C. seems to really care about him, and he didn’t hit her on purpose, he was just angry.

    Goddammit, looks like ALL the spoilers I read are going to come true. I fear that I know the sequence of main events almost right until the end. D:

    I love spoilers, tell me what they are…now!

    And I’m definitely cheering on Kallen.

    And I’m definitely cheeering on C.C.

    They really need to kill of that racist whore, Nina. Everyone knows that she was raping the table, looking a photos of Euphy right in front of Nunnally.

    I have officially condemned your post to the useless and unworthy section of the internet.

    Next episode Lelouch will probably reveal the truth behind Euphemia and Shirley’s death. I don’t think Suzuka will be one of the final bosses. The OP seems to place more emphasis on the Emperor and Schneizel. Wait if C.C. memories were reverted then wouldn’t she only respond to her original name? Time for Lelouch to spill the beans and tell us what her real name is.

    Suzaku will probably forgive him and then go back to Britannia, I doubt he’s gonna join the Black Knights unless he starts to see a deeper meaning to things. Damn will they be shocked if they find out a Knight of Rounds (one that’s been fighting them since S1 E2) joins them.

    P.S. Nina HAS to die. If she doesn’t I’ll nuke Sunrise, one way or another. D:
    The Hotel Hijacking in Season 1 secured her a #1 place in my hate list. <_<

    I too wish for her death, but I’m having trouble thinking of a fitting death…who knows maybe she forgives Lelouch? (unlikely) It’s been hinted at that Nina knew Lelouch was a prince so she may know more than let on to know…hopefully not.

    The Emperor probably rapes Anya when she was young but didn’t want to face the charges so he geassed her.

    Another useless and unworthy comment…I can’t believe I could lose all my respect in a person from a single sentence.

    Anyways back to my book.
    Page 336/1012

  9. wapak says:

    That last part of your comment #58, sandslayer, is obviously a joke.. don’t take everything literally, it makes you look stupid.
    Anyways, I think Anya knows a lot about the past,most probably about the murder of Marriane?, that he needs to alter her memories to keep it secret.

    Things are getting more interesting now, theres a battle for world domination between 2 sides with every country in it except Australia. But it seems that most battle scenes from here on will take place in Japan.

    Those yellow patches are Chinese federation’s territory right?

  10. sandslayer says:

    That last part of your comment #58, sandslayer, is obviously a joke.. don’t take everything literally, it makes you look stupid.

    I know it was a joke smartass, but it was a retarded joke that in no way could possibly amuse me. When I see crap like that I call it stupid, though you may seem to think joking about rape is funny as hell, which surprisingly alot of people seem to think so. Also, explain why saying someone is unworthy of my respect when they say something utterly repugnant makes me look bad? I look forward to your answer though I’ll be thoroughly surprised if you can manage to explain it in a semi-intelligent matter.

    On another note:

    Those yellow patches are Chinese federation’s territory right?

    No, those are independant countires (as well as the pink one, though I’m not sure why it’s pink instead of yellow, possibly yellow stands for the shattered EU?). Either way, who knows and who cares, another minor detail best overlooked.

    Page 405/1012…I’m going a bit too slow for my liking.

    P.S. I insist…no…I encourage your response wapak, I’m bored and I need a little bit of sport.

  11. sandslayer says:

    In my quest to releive boredom I just noticed something.

    I think you mean former, as opposed to latter. Latter means that Suzaku died, which isn’t…well. I’m going to take that as typo on your part.

    That wasn’t a typo. However I should have elaborated. Euphemia contacted Suzaku on the radio thingie during his fight with the chinese in episode…21? or 20, Suzaku knew he was about to die and that was also when Euphie ordered him to love her. Suzaku would have died if the Gawain hadn’t shown up.

    What I meant by that relating to Guilford is that after Guilford joins the OotBK, in one of the battles in the show he’s like gonna be close to death and then Cornelia contacts him etc. (or vice-versa).

    Hopefully that makes me make a little bit more sense, though knowing me that still doesn’t mean much.

  12. †§eraphim†~ says:

    Australia, while being a hole, wouldn’t be ignored like that… Not for those reasons.. Australia’s pretty rich in resources like iron, coal(i believe there is uranium somehwere in the country) etc. And besides land is land, its perfectly good space for SOMETHING.. The most likely reason, i believe, is that Australia was nuked or something of the sort and is now too dangerous to go into.

    “the amount of effort spent by Sunrise in animating C.C.’s shy disposition to adorable perfection.”

    Sorry to say, but the character designs are by Clamp which is one major reason that some of us watch this show. :D

    Btw, did anyone notice the chess pieces and wonder how significant a part they may play in the story? Is that the king chess piece that was stained with blood? and with only 2 other black chess pieces maybe a castle and the other?

    Hoping that Lulu be ok at the end of the series. T_T

  15. Seguun says:

    I think the chess pieces are very significant otherwise there would be no point in showing them. The black king (Zero) was stained with blood and only had a rook backing him up. The white king had way more pieces but the white king didn’t appear to be standing. Wonder what it means?

  16. Seguun says:

    Correction
    Zero has two knights, a rook, and 2 pawns

  17. invshika says:

    good point Seguun, i’ll have to go look that up again… (edited after your posts)

  18. Seguun says:

    and a bishop

  19. invshika says:

    ooh ooh ooh, the two Knights (get it?) are Guilford and Anya, the rook is Kallen, and the 2 pawns are Jeremiah and Rolo (edit: gah..more corrections, the bishop is um…C.C. lol idk)

  20. Seguun says:

    The white side has 3 pawns and a rook.
    It also has two pawns, bishops, or combination of the two.

  21. GBABH says:

    what has happened to corneilia’s left arm?

  22. Seguun says:

    Injured when she was attacked from behind during the finale of season 1. The leader of the glaston knights stabbed her knightmare from behind while she was attacking Gawain.

  23. GoAway0000 says:

    here’s what i think of the map:

    gray = noone wants
    blue = britannia
    red = U.F.N
    yellow = What’s left of the E.U
    pink = … independant? all by itself?

  24. Cat Megex says:

    Pink = screwed. Take another look at the map to see why.

    EDIT: Yay Shiki (Tohno)!

  25. SonicSP says:

    Boring episode in contrast to last week’s awesome one but we get to see how things would develope in the future.

    I wonder where C.C.’s Code went?

  26. machdude says:

    Uh guys?

    Has anyone ever figured out that Kallen represents the QUEEN piece? I probably think that this has turned into another chess game because it seems to be a game of capturing and recapturing because one side captures, another side sends in the army to recapture and in the process capture more. This will probably eventually escalate into pieces introduced that are higher than queens.

  27. Amnestic says:

    Maybe it’s the late times and the diet coke sustaining my state of not sleeping, but your logic seems kinda convoluted. What do you mean by “pieces higher than queens”? In importance, this would obviously be the king. In use tactical versatility and general flexibility as a suppression and power piece, the Queen is unmatched. Kallen’s designation as “Q-1” made her obvious as the queen piece ever since Lelouch first assigned her to it. I can’t confirm it, but that might have been as early as the first mecha combat sequence (Ep 1? 2? of R1).

    That wasn’t a typo. However I should have elaborated.

    Hopefully that makes me make a little bit more sense, though knowing me that still doesn’t mean much.

    See above, late times+steady swigs of diet coke haven’t made my brain the most alert it could be. I get what you mean though. It was my fault for misinterpreting. I had my mind set on Euphemia’s death, as opposed to Suzaku’s brush with it. My bad. Probably coloured by my belief that Cornelia is gonna die soon enough. Executed by one of the Britannian’s (Lucciano is top of the contenders for executioner at the moment) for treason against the crown and treachery against the state when she sided with the Black Knights.

  28. andruhan says:

    He-he, nice heading picture on the top – just noticed this :)))

  29. machdude says:

    What I am saying is that there may be pieces that may start existing outside of chess. The series is already breaking a couple of rules in order to forward the story. While the Emperor and Lelouch are still duking it out on the chess scale, Schniezel already presents himself as a third side, an idea that does not exist in chess. Also, he is allegedly using a weapon that is greater in power than even either of the aces on both teams, and thus may introduce a piece greater even than the Queen.

  30. Kaus says:

    Regarding the chess pieces, I remember reading that Kallen was called the Black knight, the opposite of Suzaku the white knight. Bishops were Rakshata and Lloyd, Queens were Euphemia and CC…something like that. Of course this completely ignores the fact that there are more than 1 piece of each (w/ the exception of the Queen and King).

    Not much I can add on to that…but, yeah he referred to her as Q-1 since episode 1, although (in chess) if someone can get a pawn to the other side of the board it can be “promoted” to any other piece excluding the king. Maybe that dude was referring to having multiple queens? I dunno, probably overthinking(again).
    Hey look another post, time to work against the edit clock.

    What I am saying is that there may be pieces that may start existing outside of chess. The series is already breaking a couple of rules in order to forward the story. While the Emperor and Lelouch are still duking it out on the chess scale, Schniezel already presents himself as a third side, an idea that does not exist in chess. Also, he is allegedly using a weapon that is greater in power than even either of the aces on both teams, and thus may introduce a piece greater even than the Queen.

    It was my understanding that the game with Schniezel and Lelouch was a variation designed to humiliate Zero (publicly) and help Schnizel gauge his character, notice he says the Emperor would have taken his king without hesitation, also how would introducing new chess pieces have anything to do with the story. The Guren Eight-extremities type apparently is a mixture of Japanese and Brittannian technology that is super overpowered. Lloyd has already built it by this episode and originally planned for Suzaku to use it but it’s just like the Shenhu. Either way, that still qualifies as queen.

    Awesome I did it with a minute to spare.

    See above, late times+steady swigs of diet coke haven’t made my brain the most alert it could be.

    Diet soda gives you cancer.

    I get what you mean though. It was my fault for misinterpreting. I had my mind set on Euphemia’s death, as opposed to Suzaku’s brush with it. My bad.

    Doesn’t matter, nobody cares about Suzaku anyways.

    Probably coloured by my belief that Cornelia is gonna die soon enough. Executed by one of the Britannian’s (Lucciano is top of the contenders for executioner at the moment) for treason against the crown and treachery against the state when she sided with the Black Knights.

    Nah, I have a nagging feeling that Cornelia is gonna survive, but I think she’s gonna turn on Lelouch since apparently Lelouch gets in deep shit in episode 19. Guilfords future role intrigues me though.

  32. Davin says:

    I’ll believe it when the captured queen is exchanged for a pawn.

  33. kouya says:

    Hey did anyone notice that Toudou noticed that Zero backed away when the Emp was ranting? In any case, it was Toudou not Zero that initiated the counter “Nippon Banzai” cheer.

    I think there was quite a lot of tension there. Also, the more patriotic fundamental members of Ootbk seem to be unhappy about the way things were being ran. Possible discontentment within the ranks?

  34. C.I. says:

    Holy shit, that really does remind me of Pizza Hut’s Cheesy Crust Pizza. +1 for Code Geass.

    Diet soda gives you cancer.

    “A 2007 study, published in Annals of Oncology of the European Society for Medical Oncology, reviewed Italian studies of instances of cancer from 1991 and 2004 and concluded a “lack of association between saccharin, aspartame and other sweeteners and the risk of several common neoplasms”.[68]”

    Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy#Recently_published_research. Note that it has a citation. Yeah, it’s *possible* that aspartame (the ‘cancer causer’) does cause cancer, but then so does drinking, going out clubbing with my friends who smoke, breathing, sitting in the sun, eating food, etc. etc. etc. Some people who never do any unhealthy stuff get cancer. I’ve heard of stories of people who have smoked from their teen years til they were over 100, and not had a spot of lung cancer. Their lungs weren’t good, but they made it over 100, which is more than a lot of people. What I’m saying is, when someone says “aspartame causes cancer”, bear in mind that that’s a weak interpretation of current evidence. Just look at the fluctuating questions on the topic of red wine. Literally the scientific evidence pointing to benefits/problems switches to the polar opposite sometimes once a year or even more often. It’s silly. I trust the aspartame causing cancer research as much as I trust the “Gaming is an addiction” research. That is to say, none.

    /rant

    Doesn’t matter, nobody cares about Suzaku anyways.

    I care about him just long enough for him to get the truth about Anya’s memories out, after that he can take a swift, permanent trip to hell.

    Nah, I have a nagging feeling that Cornelia is gonna survive, but I think she’s gonna turn on Lelouch since apparently Lelouch gets in deep shit in episode 19. Guilfords future role intrigues me though.

    Well we’ll have to agree to disagree, can’t really argue more now. Lucciano has a crazy elitist view of people (Gino is a silver-spoon boy), so I’m not sure how he’d react to a Princess betraying them, nevermind a(n ex-?)prince orchestrating the whole thing.

    Hey did anyone notice that Toudou noticed that Zero backed away when the Emp was ranting? In any case, it was Toudou not Zero that initiated the counter “Nippon Banzai” cheer.

    I did notice that Tohdoh noticed, but whether that means anything is to be seen. From the list of rankings, Xingke outranks Tohdoh, which some Japanese loyalists may not like, but if they’re really loyalist to Japan then they’ll be more than happy to go along while they retake Area 11 from Britannia, or try to at least. After that they can either leave the Black Knights and return home, in which case they’ll get ‘normal’ jobs or they could stick with it. I think to have dissent at this point would only be relevant for maybe one episode where they don’t listen to Zero and get royally owned by Britannia, then come crawling back. If it is there, I’m gonna say that it’s gonna come out just before, during and after a mecha combat sequence and not be heard of after that.

    I was just mentioning that on a passing thought, I’m not about to go and get scientific on your ass. However, I will get psychological on your ass. The reason there is controversy and disagreements in medicine is because these sorts of things affect people differently. One rather well known example is weed. Most addicts think it’s good for them and it doesn’t harm them because for one thing they most likely feel good when their high and also because it affects each person differently (though the first reason is from actual experience and the second reasn is from scientific research, not to say I’ve done weed). Same for smoking and drinking. I know a guy who’d get drunk off a single bottle of beer and one who wouldn’t get drunk if he drank 10 bottles. However, your probably wondering how this ties in with cancer in diet soda. This ties in with that because cancer also affects people differently, just like diseases and drugs. Some people need to be exposed to shitloads of radiation to cause cell mutation, while others are less fortunate and can develope skin cancer merely from being out in the sun too long (though both extremes are rather rare). However compile all that together and you’ll find, I don’t care. I mentioned the diet-soda cancer stuff because it along with 7 other things popped into my mind when I read about you drinking diet coke. 3 of the other 7 things were too naughty to be written down and the other 3 were just random thoughts.
    Yay.

    I care about him just long enough for him to get the truth about Anya’s memories out, after that he can take a swift, permanent trip to hell.

    Deny if you will, but I totally called that whole thing with Anya. I called that, that was my fricken theory. However one of my sources were false, she didn’t cry in the Ganymede apparently she cried in the Europa, which was another prototype built around the time as the Ganymede (just like the Io). Her connection to Marianne is weakening, oh no! More evidence please.

    Well we’ll have to agree to disagree, can’t really argue more now. Lucciano has a crazy elitist view of people (Gino is a silver-spoon boy), so I’m not sure how he’d react to a Princess betraying them, nevermind a(n ex-?)prince orchestrating the whole thing.

    I hate agreeing to disagree but it looks like we have to. Though i doubt he’s that good of an assassin or they would’ve sent him after Zero (if he’s an assassin at all, he just said he’s a master of murder).

    I did notice that Tohdoh noticed, but whether that means anything is to be seen. From the list of rankings, Xingke outranks Tohdoh, which some Japanese loyalists may not like, but if they’re really loyalist to Japan then they’ll be more than happy to go along while they retake Area 11 from Britannia, or try to at least. After that they can either leave the Black Knights and return home, in which case they’ll get ‘normal’ jobs or they could stick with it. I think to have dissent at this point would only be relevant for maybe one episode where they don’t listen to Zero and get royally owned by Britannia, then come crawling back. If it is there, I’m gonna say that it’s gonna come out just before, during and after a mecha combat sequence and not be heard of after that.

    I wanna get back to my book so I’ll make this short. I…I…I ag… oh god damn it this is hard…I agr..I agree. There I said it move along with your life.

    Back to my book.

    Sorry, your comment was the ‘straw that broke the camels back’ so to speak. It wasn’t your fault particularly, I’ve had to field people asking why I drink diet coke over regular (I like the taste), but the cancer thing has come up before with other people. This is the one time I decided that I’d actually look into it proper and take a peak at the science. It didn’t help that I’d just got up and so was a bit grouchy.

    Also, there’s no such thing as “too naughty to be written down.” I’m curious. What naughty thoughts are in your head? ;o

Her connection to Marianne is weakening, oh no! More evidence please.

    You did call it. Are the Europa and Io only mentioned in the novels? There’s nothing on the wiki about them, though a quick google has a few passing mentions. The Ganymede owned by Ashford appears to be the only one (Hence why Lloyd was so interested in it) so I was wondering how Anya would have got access to it, as Gino was the one who piloted during the school’s “most giant pizza evar!” festival. If they were built during the same rough time they may have had similar designs to the Ganymede, or at least been similar enough to trigger memories. Her connection to Marianne may still be there!

    Though i doubt he’s that good of an assassin or they would’ve sent him after Zero (if he’s an assassin at all, he just said he’s a master of murder).

    Maybe not assassinate Cornelia. She betrays Lelouch and comes back to Britannia, but Lucciano kills her anyway for betraying Britannia in the first place, execution style. Assassinate infers that it was done in secret, Lucciano may act under the Emperor’s orders, to prevent the possibility of Cornelia being a double agent under the influence of Lelouch’s geass. Possibly.

    Does anyone else find it worrying that Lelouch still feels perfectly comfortable cruising around most likely non-immortal C.C. with his permanent, uncontrollable Geass eye exposed? I sense a possible “Oh Shit!” moment coming sometime down the road. Better hope he has Orange-kun on speed dial or things could get pretty messy. Or he might tell her to “Stay in this room and eat pizza” and C.C. will be back to normal.

    Many things pop into my head, I have the distinct (dis)advantage to constantly think of new things while doing something, say, thinking of new ideas while writing them down. Knowing that, these naughty things were just random thoughts that for some reason or another came into my head when I read the diet coke thing. As for being too naughty to jot down, leave that to your imagination.

    You did call it.

    Hell yeah I did! And most of the people here didn’t believe me! IN YOUR FACE!

    I know for a fact that the Io was mentioned in one of the audio dramas, as for the Europa I have very little information, the three are related though (all are named after celestial bodies, more specifically, moons). The ganymede was the most famous and main prototype, the Europa and Io were less important I guess. I still need a damned reason why the emperor geassed Anya…well most likely it won’t be revealed till later.

    Maybe not assassinate Cornelia.

    Typo?

Assassinate infers that it was done in secret, Lucciano may act under the Emperor’s orders, to prevent the possibility of Cornelia being a double agent under the influence of Lelouch’s geass. Possibly.

    I thought we already agreed to disagree, neither of us have evidence to support Cornelia dying or surviving (though we have ample reasons and methods). Although your definition of assassin is correct, but it also refers to anyones organized death. Say if my dog hired a scorpion to kill me, that’d be assassination, no matter how it’s done, public or not, though it’s unlikely for that to happen to me.

    Does anyone else find it worrying that Lelouch still feels perfectly comfortable cruising around most likely non-immortal C.C. with his permanent, uncontrollable Geass eye exposed?

Or he might tell her to “Stay in this room and eat pizza” and C.C. will be back to normal.

    He can say anything he wants aroudn her as long as he’s careful enough not to give her any commands while looking her in the eye. Lelouch is smart enough to have realized that.

    Structuring of that paragraph was a bit off, I should have thrown that just before I threw down my definition for assassinate. My bad.

    I still need a damned reason why the emperor geassed Anya…well most likely it won’t be revealed till later.

    Which is why we need to keep Suzaku around a little longer :(

    Ah, you are correct, I concede the point. I still get the feeling that Lucciano is more adept at execution than assassination, if only because of his flamboyant hair (though as Naruto teaches us, ninjas wearing the brightest, least stealthy colours is TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE.)

    We don’t know if she can be geassed or not. C.C. seems to be a unique case, never happened before. We have no idea what special powers she may or may not have. She may still be immune to geass for all we know, I don’t think we’ve seen any evidence to prove otherwise. Lelouch probably wouldn’t risk geassing her, but it may come up if Rolo (the wanker) tries to get rid of her for some reason.

    Eww, Naruto. Luciano’s character is rather interesting to me, his first appearance was leaning over Anya’s chair in the Knights of Rounds room with a bored look on his face, and after seeing him hunched over in the episode 16 preview I was under the impression that he was kinda like Gino, however, holy crap was I amazed that he was totally different than expected. He’s…fricken…evil, I can feel the evil emanating from that dude. He even tried to kill Suzaku on his first speaking appearance, then was about to finish the job if Bismarcke hadn’t have shown up. He reminds me of Artemis Entreri, if you even know who that is. Either way, his future role is gonna tie in with Kallens apparently, so I’m looking forward to that.

    C.C. is a rare case indeed. Apparently losing immortality without dying has never happened before, but I (along with Lelouch I guess) am guessing that losing the code means losing immunity to geass (and we know for a fact now she’s not immortal, thats why he hit her). As for Rolo, I’m guessing he will tie in more with the Asahina part of the story more than the C.C. part of the story. Which leaves me to believe Chiba will soon be the only one of the Four holy swords left.

    Urg, I’m tired of reading, tired of Civilization and tired of basically everything on my computor…someone argue with me…I need more cranapple juice.

    Naruto wasn’t *so* bad, for the first 11 or so episodes. If you want to really hate it, watch the 4Kids dubs. It put me off watching anime for like a week -_- Wiki tells me Artemis Entreri is a Neutral-Evil (my favourite!) assassin from Forgotten Realms, more specifically appearing in the Icewind Dale Trilogy. Basically a crazy evil guy who kills for pleasure. Just about sums up what we’ve seen of Lucciano so far. My prediction for Lucciano: Falling at either Gino’s or Kallen’s hand in a dramatic save of the other. Though by the looks of things it’s probably Gino saving Kallen, as Kallen isn’t terribly interested in Gino at this point. Maybe not falling as in dying, but being put out of action at least. One of those disabling attacks which causes a retreat.

    C.C. is a rare case indeed. Apparently losing immortality without dying has never happened before, but I (along with Lelouch I guess) am guessing that losing the code means losing immunity to geass (and we know for a fact now she’s not immortal, thats why he hit her).

    Possible, but as I’ve said we don’t know. To my knowledge we’ve seen 3 lost codes thus far. The nun to C.C, V.V to Charles, and C.C. to Charles/the ether. None of those, to our knowledge, had a chance to be geassed after the code was lost thus far. It might be an after effect, you lose the immortality but keep the geass immunity. I kinda like this idea, but until we get more evidence neither of us will be proven right or wrong.

    As for Rolo, I’m guessing he will tie in more with the Asahina part of the story more than the C.C. part of the story. Which leaves me to believe Chiba will soon be the only one of the Four holy swords left.

    Hmm. It’s possible, I was just considering whether Rolo would see C.C as a threat to Rolo’s lust for Lelouch. He did with Shirley, and all Shirley wanted to do was help Lelouch. He may view C.C. similarly, though if that’s the case Lelouch may simply keep C.C and Rolo seperate, as he knows Rolo’s temperament.

    Urg, I’m tired of reading, tired of Civilization and tired of basically everything on my computor…someone argue with me…I need more cranapple juice.

    Invest in a new game, or a new console of games. The greatest of gaming smack addictions: World of Warcraft (if that’s your thing), maybe a bit of JRPG on the PS2 in the form of Final Fantasy and more. The World Ends With You (DS) was particularly enjoyable for me, but only occupied me for a few days. Or sink yourself into one of the many RTS out there. If you haven’t already, pick up a copy of Starcraft and it’s expansion, Brood War (They generally come packaged together at this point). Kinda retro PC graphics, but some of the best RTS gameplay and story you’ll find anywhere.

    It’s sandslayer, get it right fool. No capitals and no space. Byt he way, I find it’s rather enjoyable to criticize every damn thing people post. Of course, your just a sheep. Just another average fool who wants to be better than what he is. Don’t make me laugh at you more than I already am.

    And the other orange kun is not an assasin, he’s just a sadist who enjoys raping lolis and shotas.

    He’s not another Orange. He’s the Knight of Ten, and apparently he’s a better pilot than Jeremiah, and enjoys killing more. Hmph, I bet you only call him Orange because you’re too idiotic to remember his name.

    Oh, and if your bored, get a job, do a sport, move to england, learn another language, or go watch gay porn(jk).

    I’m too young to get a job for one thing, I have to be 14 to get a workers permit (I don’t turn 14 for another month). I already play hockey (I know, hockey in Hawaii), and why the fuck would I go to England, where I am now is fine. Also, I bet you don’t even know another language, although you might since your lack of English ability makes it seem that way, besides, I plan on learning German in High School.

    Hopefully I’m doing these tags correctly. Anyway, it does seem that losing your immortality did end up in the death of the previous immortal in most recent iterations. However, I’m not convinced that losing their “code” is what caused them to die on those cases. For C.C., in her memories she was bloody and the nun was lying at the bottom of a flight(short flight) of stairs, blood oozing from her head. Judging from that scene it looked like it was the concussion that killed her, probably after she angered C.C. enough to take her code or however that works. Then they seemed to have fought and she, now being mortal, died. As for V.V., he was pretty messed up following his ownage by Lelouche and Cornelia, and losing his Wolverine healing factor at that point would also assumably kill him. Losing your “code” could just mean becoming mortal again, and perhaps losing all memory of your life while you possessed a Geass or “code”. Hard to say without studying more cases, records of which probably went down with the Geass Directorate. Whose destruction was probably for the best really, due to their tendency to create creepy children with psionic powers or whatever. I’m pretty sure Rolo was pretty much the norm to come out of that place.

    He can say anything he wants aroudn her as long as he’s careful enough not to give her any commands while looking her in the eye. Lelouch is smart enough to have realized that.

    I’m not so sure on that. The fact that she wasn’t healing from that cut on her finger seemed to shake him up quite a bit when it happened, perhaps because he was suddenly hit with realization that she could die now. He might have just thought that she lost her memory from that whole “blowing up random stuff in a weird mind world” plan of his in 15. In essence, C.C. used to be the only one he could let his guard down(if only slightly) and his contact out around, and I’m not sure he thought about the possibility that she could be vunderable to Geass now, and I don’t see him “testing it out just to be sure”. Hopefully he’s realizes that and is more careful around her, at least until he can confirm if she is or is not immune. Just one “leave me alone” and C.C. might take her show on the road and Lelouch will need to go find her and de-geass her causing much chaos and probably hilarity.

    I used to really be into Mmorpg’s, but that kinda wore off as I finished 8th grade. I have Starcraft and Broodwar, beaten it a bunch of times. I’m the best with Zerg and Protoss though I utterly suck as terran. My PS2 is broken and my mom won’t get a new one (I’m broke, due to being unable to get a job), though I used to play Dragon Quest VIII (pretty fun) and Final Fantasy X (I ALMOST BEAT IT, god damn I was pissed when it broke) on it (it broke over 2 years ago, maybe 3, I dunno). Never heard of The Worlds Ends With You, can you still buy it in stores? Though that’s unlikely for me to buy it since I have no cash…I don’t really know what RTS means though…if you eman stuff like Warcraft and Starcraft, I’ve already beaten most of their older games.

    Yeah, I noticed that he was acting “cold” after he saw she was bleeding, and afterwards he acted WAY DIFFERENT towards Suzaku. It all makes sense, we just don’t know how events will play out.

    Hawt, I’m in Hawaii too. Though I’m stuck at work obsessing about the next damn episode of Code Geass. I really should have waited a bit before starting on this series. I just saw it on Cartoon Network and though “hey, Code Geass has been out for a while why don’t I go grab it now, it should be done”. Big, freaking, mistake. God damn second season. Watched season one and got stuck on this train ride to awesome. Or train wreck to awesome. Whatever.

    That’s basically what I sit and do all week, though I’ll have something else to do with high school coming up soon (yay). I personally think code geass has ruined my life. I used to just watch anime as a passing interest, usually on Saturday on adult swim (which is also how I originally found code geass), but I’m going overboard with it, this is actually the only blog I’ve ever gone back to (I have a very low tolerance for blogs, just like myspace and every other social internet thing…I guess you could say I hate the internet). I don’t know what I’m gonna do with my life if code geass ends without a shitload of dramatic fucking deaths…I guess you could say I have no life, though I am looking forward to high school, it’s mostly because it’ll give me something to do, hell imagine when I enter the workforce…that raises an interesting thought, I feel like I’m living my life seeking out a way to stop boredom. Interesting life huh, and they say Hawaii is paradise. Might as well get back to my book, nothing else to do while I wait for new posts. By the way, I actually like the code geass english dub though most people don’t like the voices.

    RTS=Real Time Strategy, like Starcraft, Warcraft, Total Annihilation and Command and Conquer.

    World Ends with You is a fairly recent JRPG for the DS which was done by the Square Enix team who worked on the Kingdom Hearts series. Disney is absent, and I really enjoyed the game. As it’s a recent release, I’d be surprised if you couldn’t find it in stores. If you really want to get the most of your DS however, might I point you towards the R4? http://www.r4ds.com/r4.htm for all your DS gaming needs.

    As you’re strapped for cash however, http://www.metacritic.com/games/pc/scores/ Top PC games of all time, sorted by overall score. Torrents are your friends.

    Heh, R.A. Salvatore books are some of my favourites, fantasy without the childish element. Kinda like J.R.R. Tolkein. I’m surprised you looked up Artemis Entreri though. I bet Luciano will die, his attitude sums that part up, it’s a no brainer. If your prediction with Gino and Kallen bears weight then most likely it’s Gino saving Kallen, since he wants to rematch her so badly. This also makes me believe that Gino won’t join the OotBK.

    If I don’t know something and someone makes a reference to it, I’ll look it up. Best way to learn is to find out what you don’t know and then know it. I dunno, what’d cause the Tristan to get refitted if he wasn’t joining? It’s not like Lelouch would just rebuild his Knightmare with fresh technology and let him go back to Britannia, even if Kallen asked him to. I only started watching Code geass after I saw the first episode of R2, which meant I had all of R1 to go through. It’s not fun having to wait a week every time you want stuff to get revealed :( He may get his rematch with her before he intervenes with Lucciano, in which case that’d open him up for having finished his rematch and allow him to join the Black Knights for a refitted Tristan.

    I just saw it on Cartoon Network

    Know what we get on Cartoon Network in England? Utter crap. They used to have a splash of anime on Toonami (Cartoon network spinoff) but that channel vanished into the ether at some point. Endless reruns of Dexter’s Lab, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (actually not bad) make Cartoon Network a horrible channel. Though I still hate Nickelodeon for getting rid of Invader Zim. Wankers :(
