Kanameclan's blog has a preview of a lovely new illustration of Lelouch. I think it's from Newtype 9, but I'm not sure From Prince Animage Summer?

Oh, you're right. I'd totally forgotten about the military scenes you mentioned, since it's been quite a while since I last watched the series from start to finish. Sorry about that.

I hope I didn't come off as argumentative, since I really wasn't intending to be. And I wasn't trying to question the validity of the creators' statement. I was only trying to work out the specifics of the term "experience" as it relates to the rest of Suzaku's characterization.

Also, about Lelouch's reactions to Kallen, etc., I can say from personal experience that it's very possible to ignore the sight of an undressed person without being asexual. I worked as a theater costumer in college, meaning I helped many people dress and undress for fittings, quick changes backstage, as well as getting up close and personal to measure them for custom made costumes and such. But for everyone involved, there was never any feeling of "Oh, there's nudity here!" It was more like you didn't even see them, since you were just doing your job. I imagine it's somewhat similar to how a doctor views his or her patients.

So since Lelouch's reason for being in the bathroom with Kallen was to convince her he wasn't Zero, I think it's possible he was utilizing the same sort of professional attitude. However, despite the professionalism of the workplace, I still wouldn't want someone pulling at my skirt in public, so I understand why Lelouch wouldn't want that either.

♥ It's okay. Sorry if I seemed short with you!

Those are all true, although I'd point out again that Lelouch isn't casual about same-sex nudity; or at least, Suzaku's lifted skirt made him very uncomfortable. But my thoughts about Lelouch are less about his reactions to "Kallen" than his reactions to "etc.", like Shirley. AND THAT IS AS MUCH AS I WILL DIVULGE ON THAT TOPIC, making bluntly dismissive statements about other people's OTPs never ends well.

Don't worry, it's cool. =)

Oh, and I realized I misread your post before - I know you were talking about how Suzaku lifted up his own skirt, but for some reason I was reading your post as saying Suzaku was lifting up Lelouch's skirt. (Even though I know that didn't happen in the sound episode, it was late at night when I read it, so my brain was a little fried! XD ) Oh well, I do get what you're saying now.
