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!

I think it was more that Suzaku expected that Zero was Lelouch. But because Lelouch was his friend he put those thoughts out of his mind.

I thought Cornelia told him but thats just me, maybe Im wrong.

I think he started to make connections from before Euphie's death. I can't pin point a certain point in the series when he might have begun to think it, but probably during that fight when Lelouch gave Suzaku that power supply for the Lancelot, he probably started to see the similarities, if he hadn't before that. But even so, he didn't want to believe that his theories were true, because him and Lelouch were best friends. So he made himself try to ignore it all.

I don't think he KNEW though. When Lelouch's face was first relieved, you could see the surprise in Suzaku's face. Then everything he had begun to put together that made him think Lelouch = Zero in the first place was confirmed to be true. I don't think anyone told him before that, Cornelia couldn't have because she said "she couldn't remember" and was too out of it because of the Geass and her wounds. And because of the flashback, we can see it wasn't V.V.

Personally, I think Suzaku had inklings when Zero saved him and when Zero stopped outright trying to kill him after his role as Lancelot's pilot was revealed, not to mention the numerous times they've discussed Zero amongst themselves. Lelouch likes dropping hints, whether subconsciously or otherwise. Suzaku is obviously not as clueless as some in fandom took him to be. Essentially, they were both trying to win the other to their side throughout.

I was quite surprised by the "I knew it but I was in denial" too.

My guesses:
-Episode 3, when Zero frees Suzaku from Orange-kun and calls him "baka" for not joining his cause, Suzaku:"I had a dear friend who used to call me baka all the time"
-Ehm, the voice? It didn't work with Kalle, but a trained soldier (who knows how to modify HIS voice, see Picture Book 07) should be able to recognize voices
-Maybe he just saw the mask on Arthur ne?^^;;;;;;

I saw the scene of the kiss and the one when Suzaku shot Lulu a bunch of times (L)they are perfect, someone has to make an icon for that xDD

Yes, the hair was totally smexy ♥ ♥ ♥ And I pretty much agree with the above comments for why Suzaku suspected Lulu *but didn't know for sure*

I think Suzaku may have had some suspicions about Lelouch being Zero for a while but never really put much stock into them until about the phone conversation at the end of 23-- I can't figure out any way that Suzaku's "You're doing it for Nunnaly?" line makes any sense if he doesn't think that Lelouch is Zero at that point. I kind of doubt his suspicions were anything serious until that point or perhaps a bit earier given that the fact that Euphemia was so willing to work with Zero was another big hint; either way I don't think Suzaku really suspected beyond something like "hmm, that kind of reminds me of Lelouch, but that's not possible" until at least that point. Anyhow, even then he hadn't confronted Lelouch directly and hadn't completely confirmed his suspicions (he still doesn't want to believe it), so when he's face-to-face with Lelouch/Zero there's no way he can just ignore it anymore.

In large part it's probably partly a "hindsight is 20/20" kind of thing, there were definately hints and signs as to Zero's identity since very early on, but I really don't think Suzaku genuinely suspected him until much later, but having picked up on some of the hints earlier and immediately discarding them gives the sense that he did know for a long time (from Suzaku's perspective that is, kind of like if you notice some detail on a mystery show implicating character A but then immediatly dismissing it for one reason or another and then at the end when it is revealed that character A did it, even though you may not have been really suspecting them prior to that point having picked up on that early hint makes you feel like you figured it out earlier).

And that was much longer than I had intended it to be....
