This is very very very well thought-out, and smoothly written. In other words: Love!
But anyway, onto the slightly more intelligent part of this comment. I have to thank you [as has been done several times already in this post ^^] for defending Suzaku's point of view. It irritates me to no end the ways people bash him without even trying to get where he's coming from. I mean, he lost Euphie and was 'betrayed' by his best friend, all in the height of his "re-evaluating his self-worth and honor in the midst of his past sins and present situation". Forgive him for being just a wee bit more evil in the game. People also constantly say they hate his being a hypocrite and an idealist. I seriously think though that that hypocrisy [because undeniably it's there to some level], that huge flaw, adds to the beauty of his character. And on idealism ~ Lelouch is very idealistic about his goals as well. The only difference is that he has a Geass; the easy way out/in ~ I'd like to see someone give Suzaku a Geass [OMG] and see how far he goes.
...Personally, from where I'm standing, Lelouch is very much in the wrong right now, constantly using people and lying and whatnot. [Poor dishrag Rollo. Although I predict that later on, he'll develop some brotherly affection for the boy. x3 ] Suffice it to say he needed a good kick in the pants to throw him off his high horse for a while. [not to say I don't like Lulu though; I love to hate to love Lulu. And, like Suzaku, he has his reasons]
Luckily Suzaku neatly took care of that with a Nunally-spinkick. I agree, yes, Suzaku IS using her. But definitely not abusing her in anyway. This is chess after all: she's strategically placed. He can keep an eye on her to see that she doesn't get hurt [he vowed to protect her in that last episode; even if it means protecting her from Lelouch], he increases his influence in terms of Britannian power towards his original goal, and he gets Lulu to feel how he felt when Euphie was in the same situations. Bang. Checkmate. Clever Knight. Can't wait to see Zero's next move! x3
On that note -- I agree with you on the disappointing sloppiness of the OotB at the moment. That his members let him off the hook for abandoning them appalled me; and that Lelouch as Zero would immediately go for Viletta without even background checking what exactly was up with her and Ougi was not of his usual tact either. Maybe he's just trying to maneuver as quick as possible before any other higher-ups notice that he's regained his memories?
The Zino/Gino-Tamaki likeness was astounding. Did they do that on purpose?? I have to admit though, his relationship with Suzaku is all kinds of adorable. It's like he's Suzaku's second cat, except instead of biting there is cuddling in abundance.
Alright ~ I'm so sorry. This comment is way too long, and BRIMMING with character bias. Again, amazing job on your analysis. I stop now. x3
