Code Geass R2 Turn 3

[aoi-rein.livejournal.com]

Just like Omni from Random Curiosity say, even I know what happens in the last five minutes, I still get surprised and excited throughout the whole episodes. At first, I thought not again like season 1 episode 24 & 25 since it's title is "The Campus of Imprisonment" but now I understand. If I'm Lelouch, I can't even breath in this prisoner. Okay, I won't doing a summary here but it's more to a characters analysis. 

First start with Kallen. Well, her role still remain as fanboys bunny. ~(* ~ *)~ Why she's always the one who got the most shower scenes and got seen by someone? I feel pity for her. For Kallen, she still has some unsettle feeling towards Zero/Lelouch but I believe that when time pass by, she manages to know Lelouch true self. It's just that whether Lelouch wanna let Kallen get more involves with him or not. At this state, Lelouch only will let C.C. knows all about him and helps him to the fullest. Of course, he knows that C.C. not a human and they are accomplices. So only C.C. knows that in front of the camera is not Zero and she disguises as Zero with no one knowing it. Though Kallen already knew Zero true identity but she also not been told. I don't think it's because Zero don't trust her but rather it may related to safety. Since less people know more better. But I also think that maybe Lelouch thought that he's already owes Kallen a lot, she's better stay at a distance from him just like before Kallen don't know Zero is Lelouch. Lelouch might wants her just be his comrade so she not get hurt so badly in the future. Though it's not what Kallen wanted. 

And still, it seems like Kallen still hold a grudge to C.C. and C.C. is enjoying it. Why I say so? *giggles* What I saw is she purposely say or do all the things that Kallen don't like, basically all are about Zero. In this episode, first she reveals herself with her Zero outfit in front of Zero while Kallen is all shocks about it. Moreover, when Kallen questions her about conceal it from The Black Knights, "us", C.C. asks her back whether it's "us" or "me". ( ^ 0 ^) Then when Kallen question her why she must be the bunny girl instead of her, C.C. makes fun of her that she's Zero. (> O <) Oh my, Kallen you can't win against C.C. Anyway, I still have high hope for Kallen to win Lelouch. (- . -)

Next I wanna talk about Lelouch. It's one of the surprise point in this episode for me that the man in front of the camera is C.C. While Rollo is coming for Zero, he already at school with Villetta and calls Rollo to come back to school. Once again, I can't help to acknowledge Lelouch cleverness and calculative mind, and his high EQ too. For someone who has just regained his memories, he manages to put down Britannian forces and killed the Garbenor, escaped to the Chinese Consulate-General and got the place. Planning all this by himself, he still not forget about Rollo btw he don't know who he is or he's in front of the Chinese Consulate-General. Instead of Suzaku, now Rollo is his first enemy. Though they're live together by a year now but I think Lelouch won't feel regret (at this moment) even he need to kill Rollo by himself. Since Rollo lies to him all this time and he replaces Nunnally, his precious sister. Lelouch will just think he's someone who sent from the Britannia or the Emperor and he just pretend in front of him. Lelouch might think that there's a mistake to hold some stranger so dearly and he even hates it that he forgot about Nunnally. All these angers and feelings will eventually throw back to Rollo.

I've mention about Lelouch feeling towards Kallen before, now let's move to Shirley. So that lovely song of Lelouch & Shirley, "Masquerade" plays again on the background when they go shopping outside together. If I remember correctly, it's played at the end of season 1 episode 14 also when Lelouch erased Shirley memories. I think Lelouch really regrets this time for what he had done to Shirley since he experinced about it now. But that's not love. It's more to guilty to a normal friend. It's same with Millays and Rivalz, he feels sorry to implicate his friends because of him. Towards Shirley, it's even more. He knows Shirley likes him but he can't returns her feeling. It's not because he don't like her but rather the bud had dead before it can became a flower. He knows that it's impossible for them to be together after he did that cruel thing to her. That's why, he feel more guilty to Shirley than anyone else (don't compare it with Euphie, it's not the same) because he owes her too much.

Okay, finally it's about Rollo. I have said a lot of times already that I believe Rollo. After watching this episode, it even stronger my mind about it. Of course, we can see that Rollo can cruelly kills his comrade using his geass in this episode. From this aspect, no doubt he can kills Zero also. But wait, from many other aspects, his feeling toward Lelouch is sincere though Lelouch might not think so. When he receives Lelouch phone call at the beginning of the episode, although he's suspicious about it but he feels relief too. His suspicion about Lelouch being Zero is more and more lessen and it even completely disappears when he spy Lelouch outside of the shop. It's due to one of his part don't want his oniisan is Zero. I would say that he wanna kills Zero but not Lelouch. 

At first, maybe Rollo the only reason to come near to Lelouch is keep him under surveillance and kills him if anything happens. But throughout this one year, there're a lot of things happened between them and there of course will improve their relationship. Lelouch always cares about Rollo there's no way he won't feel move about it. And from what I see, Rollo is that kind who craves for love eagerly. He always keeps that locket with him which is his birthday present from Lelouch. If he really don't care about this relationship, why not he don't gives back this locket to Lelouch when his brother asks about it? Because it's from his only relative, whether he wanna admit it or not. 

All of us don't know what happened to Rollo before and I don't want to make any speculation here. But I guess there're some tragedy happened to him before, he might lost his memories and all relatives, or maybe he's one of the victim of the Emperor. Whatever there was, he's a trained murder tool now. Fortunately, he still has feeling that I believe he might choose his own path one day. I really pity him and hopes Lelouch will help this stray cat to get back his self. Lelouch, don't forget he's your 'borther'.

Some other stuffs:
1. There's hope between Ohgi and Villetta. See, she all worry about him when the captured Black Knights say to be executed the next day.
2. Looks like Xing Ke has good impression towards Kallen. 
3. Finally, we can see Lelouch cooking. Lol~~

Some questions:
1. What happens to the Chinese Federation? They already know they're used by Zero?
2. How Lelouch know that Rollo is using geass at the end, and he's know the geass is about time stopping? 

Finally I'm done. (^ . ^) Sorry if it's long. Welcome to exchange about your impression or anything at here.

We still don't know who set him up as Lelouch's brother and Rolo might've thought it would be a simple surveillance job instead of one that would involve him getting closer to his 'big brother'. Like kirayamato44 says, I think his reaction was genuine though he's undoubtedly aware he stole Nunnally's place in Lelouch's memory. He's still young so I'm not surprised to see him waver even if he has his orders.
