I see that it doesn't take long for people to bash Suzaku. >:(

Poor Suzaku, he's always such a scapegoat. I still love him the best though <3

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

. . . wow, Memento commenters are a lot nicer than the Random Curiosity ones.

[glenngunnerzero.livejournal.com]

Suzaku? I love that guy.

[kumagoro-usagi.livejournal.com]

No I think I'm amongst the few people people in this fandom that sees both Suzaku's and Lelouch's point of view with this conflict, I like them both quite equally, seeing they're both equally faulty with their fault processes.

He's everyone's punching bag apparently. Poor guy.

[chiixhideki.livejournal.com]

ROFL WHAT IS THAT.

IT'S 4CHAN

THIS IS A MEME WAITING TO HAPPEN.

[implication.livejournal.com]

Personally, I loved Suzaku in this episode.

[lulu-quality.livejournal.com]

Me too. I wasn't a huge fan of Boku!Suzaku purely because I like evil laughter a lot, but I <3 Ore!Suzaku. He emanates awesomeness.

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

The way the world works:

code_geass: likes (or at least understands/sympathizes with) both Lelouch and Suzaku
The rest of the internet: HATES Suzaku with the fiery intensity of a thousand suns

[rbjg.livejournal.com]

I do like Ore!Suzaku more than his previous incarnation too, but I wish he'd scowl less often. Don't want frown lines to muck up his face now, do we?
One of the best screencaps has got to be Suzaku's monumentally unimpressed face as Gino gets all pally with him. >.

[implication.livejournal.com]

LOL, I go to Lelouch for my evil laughter fix. He has it in spades. I've loved Suzaku from the start. He's such a complicated character and it irks me when people take him at such face value.

[implication.livejournal.com]

Meh, I'm fine with him scowling. It's not like he really has a lot to smile about anymore. =/

Haha, as little as we know about Gino, I think he's utter win so far. You have to be persistent to stay around a grumpy Suzaku.

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

My favorite from the batch:

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

It looks like he finds Suzaku's grumpy faces hilarious.

[kumagoro-usagi.livejournal.com]

Which is very unfortunate indeed seeing Suzaku is just as interesting as Lelouch. :(

[saft.livejournal.com]

...I think my imaginary penis is now erect thanks to Kallen's bewbs.

[gakupoid.livejournal.com]

That really needs to be a flash game.

[exhero.livejournal.com]

So sadly true. ;;

[implication.livejournal.com]

Gah, I love that pic XD

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

Agreed! I can't believe how quickly a great majority of the fans have turned on Suzaku! That proud Britannia still has a place in my heart however!

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

The rest of the internet can fuck themselves. Atleast we here know the truth and actually use logic behind our thoughts and opinions.

Versus...

OH MY GOD, SUZAKU DID WAT!? I HATE HIM 4EVA.

PS: Suzaku = <3

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

Gino is fabulous and demanded iconning, of course. Also I am sad that Knights!interaction is proving to be so limited so far.

[implication.livejournal.com]

And fanart. Come on fanartists, don't let me down! Me too! I really want to know more about Gino them!

[kumagoro-usagi.livejournal.com]

LOL.

Never change. ♥

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

Of course Madam! I shall never waver my pride as a Quincy! as a Britannian!

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

oho! I have a bunch of Gino fanart saved from 4chan, actually. SAME p-please don't forget about them, Sunrise. I love them best so far. :(

[sakurina.livejournal.com]

The random curiosity comments have me sad, how can so many people hate Suzaku?! I just don't get it. I think both him and Lulu are awesome, really, and they're both equally interesting. All I see is mindless hate these days...

Is there a reason for it that I've missed? :S

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

A lot of people take him for face value and go "omg he's a hypocrite and a traitor!!1!," iirc. Ironically, for as much as they complain about Suzaku's reasoning being black and white, they don't show much room themselves for the grey areas of morality in Geass.

[icki-akki.livejournal.com]

Oh, goodness! Well, the people who comment and summarize on Memento tend to be very mean. Dx

[assoil.livejournal.com]

I second that!!! LOL

[assoil.livejournal.com]

That's sad, because without Suzaku CG wouldn't be as great as it is.

This episode=FANGASM

[zalem.livejournal.com]

I still don't like Suzaku at all (I just don't support his way of thinking and ideals), but I actually give him props for using Lulu as a bargaining chip in this episode. Pretty bad ass.

[inulovinkit.livejournal.com]

I posted my own screencaps and reactions here: http://inulovinkit.livejournal.com/8579.html#cutid1

I have an upwards of 35 screencaps, so those that want a detailed summary and Lulu's many faces should check it out.

I was, as everyone is, annoyed at Suzaku, but I can't hate him. I still see the sweet season 1 Suzaku when I look at him, which makes me sad. :(

(Oh, and I'm sure the Suzaku/Lulu fangirls were quite pleased with all the dominating positons Suzaku put Lulu in in those flashbacks. :) )

[implication.livejournal.com]

lol, I have some saved from there too XD but there needs to be mooooooar

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

Looks like it's largely Suzaku + bondagewear!Lelouch today. But it shouldn't take too long for more Gino to turn up.

[implication.livejournal.com]

I don't blame them one bit~ So many possibilities with that. \o/ *will be checking sites incessantly*

[chansonxchou.livejournal.com]

As much as I love Suzaku to utter bits, I was kinda annoyed at him. Well not really. I was like 'ho shit, you bad ass. I frickin' love you'. XD;;

Code Geass isn't as fun without Lulu and Suzaku's confliction! And Suzaku's weird logic!

[kaiserkehl.livejournal.com]

No, Suza is still my favorite -_-

[inksmears]

Sadly... I have to be the black sheep and say, ATM, I really hate Suzaku. :/

Not gonna bash him or anything and hey, I could always change my mind in the end. But right now, I think his character has fallen pretty low. Methinks he's forgotten a bit who he is in favor of revenge for Euphie.

[madhatterpan.livejournal.com]

YES. DO WANT. Geass is a lie!

[madhatterpan.livejournal.com]

D: I wish I could find it! I did my best to navigate all through 4chan to find the illusive Gino fanart.

[furato.livejournal.com]

In the first season it's easier to sympathize with Suzaku than with Lelouch, but in the second season it's certainly the other way round, especially seeing the Japanese are now practically slaves to the Britannians. At the very least, in season one they are "still" third-class citizens, so Suzaku's ideals of "change from within" are still viable. Even so, in the current conditions, he went and became a Knight of Round, helper of Emperor Curlers. What would Euphie say? :(

I still don't hate him though because I go all sad when seeing the loss of his smile. I guess I just love Euphie too much to hate Suzaku.
