Question regarding Suzaku in ep. 25

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

Hey guys, since everyone else is already flipping out over 24 and 25, I'll leave my personal reactions out for now. ^^; They're pretty much the same as everyone else's anyway, with the exception that...

I LOVE LELOUCH'S HAIR FLYING AROUND WHEN HE GETS SHOT! Okay, I'm done. Just had to get that off my chest. And I know people have mentioned it already but I <3 the CC/Lelouch scene. Short, sweet, and stunningly beautiful along with a lot of character development (or as much as we'll get) on CC's side.

Okay, question though. When Suzaku shot off Lulu's helmet and said that he already knew... somehow... and just wanted to "believe" Lulu, I'm REALLY confused on how he already knew. I know the_sports_geek already mentioned that Your Mom subtitles are... interesting (XD) but at that point in the story they totally lost me. Did VV tell Suzaku? Or did Suzaku figure it out on his own a long time ago? (And if so, when? @_________@)

Please help!

You have to remember Euphie figured it out. And Cornelia didn't seem overly surprised by the revelation either. That probably has more to do with Euphie's willingness to work with a known terrorist who killed her brother.

That's true actually. Maybe I'm just terrible as a detective, Euphie finding out was a shock to me, more so than Suzaku finding out (mainly because I was expecting it at some point...) Again, kind of bumped Suzaku and Euphie a level higher than where I originally put them. ^^;

Also, they all know Lelouch, know Lelouch is a royal prince with a grudge and, most of all, know the way he *thinks*. Zero's way of thinking is not that different from Lulu's. They are both daring, highly strategic, and method-oriented.

Lelouch was never very secretive about his desire to destroy Britannia. :-)

Hahahaha true enough :p And its funny because people who know his identity don't question his reason at all, and some put up less of a fight than I thought they would (Cornelia, for one...)

That probably has more to do with Euphie's willingness to work with a known terrorist who killed her brother.

That never sat comfortably with me. That she continued to work with Lelouche even though she knew he was Zero. Who'd murdered her other brother. I thought much less of Euphemia after that.

You do strange things for the person you love. That's the only explanation I can give.

But again, Clovis was never an innocent either, and essentially massacred a whole slew of people just to protect himself and his lost project. I'm not saying that Euphie felt her brother was justified in killing him, but she also knows his rage at the family. I'm hoping the next drama CD will shed more light on the inner workings of the Britannian royals.

Don't forget that Zero has a similar goal in the eyes of many: freeing the Japanese. Euphie knows that she would have more luck in her Special Administration Zone if she has the support of Zero, the people's hero. Politics often cause people to take up strange bedfellows. That said, the overwhelming reason is still her love for Lelouch.

Lelouch who she hadn't even seen since schildhood. Maybe it's just me, but...I didn't like it. It made me doubt Euphemia had any true depth of feeling at all. She appeared to mourn Clovis. But put another brother - his murderer, indeed - in front of her, and there was not even a trace of anger at him? Not even questions? Clovis's murder dropped totally off the radar. Wow. Her grief must have been that deep. :{ Yeah. I lost a lot of respect for Euphemia.

What Clovis did didn't bother me, *in that* he was just his Father's son, doing what he was raised to do, except he was just totally rubbish at it. Great artist; appalling, selfish, hopeless leader. No one in Code Geass is totally innocent. Except Nunally, apparently, and we all know how appallingly dull she is to watch.

Her first love. I also like meomnimi's note that Euphie didn't want to see anyone else hurt. She couldn't save Clovis, but she could save the peace between the Japanese and Britannia and possibly Lelouch by working together on her plan. She needs Zero in order for it to work on full scale, as I've said before.

I feel that it's simply because Euphie couldn't stand seeing anyone hurt, nor hold a grudge against Lulu.

also, your icon is love >w

Not hold a grudge against someone who murdered your brother? That's just weird, imho.

(Thank you! XD)

(Hehe, your icon is love. XD)

Well, Euphie had strange relationships with her half-brothers... To me, she didn't seem to know Clovis very well at all. She seemed surprised at how well he painted (though a close sister probably would have known that.) On the other hand, Lulu, Euphie and Nunally apparently were very close when they were children, so its more or less Euphie's childhood friend/brother/crush vs a brother she didn't really know. ^^; That's just me though.

problem is that, the person who murdered your brother is also your brother, I dont think she could hate her brother, although not saying that she doesnt grieve for clovis's death ^^;;
