I can't hold it in, I really need to talk about this episode!

Gosh, usually I can hold in all of my excitment when I finish watched a Code Geass episode, but I was constantly screaming and going NOOO througout this episode.

First: Woah? What's with all of the bondage in this episode? There's Kallen all strapped up, and then that one girl who's on the same side with Xing Ke (gosh,I can't remember her name ): ) And in the end there's Kallen in CC's old uniform. (Tian Zi's uber close teary faced shot during the meeting was hentai-esque too.)

Second: What happened with Anya and CC? I assumed CC's contact with Anya made her see some of Anya's memories or something? Slowly revealing to the viewers there is some relationship between Anya and Lelouch, like they grew up together, or she was a crazy stalker in the Palace.

Third: Shirley & Lelouch on the phone -> Like woah I almost thought Lelouch was like in love love with Nunnally. Kinda blew my mind for a second, this is going to cause some more incest.

Fourth: SayokoxShirley? Wat.

Fith: Anya in Middle School uniform... I thought she was 17 or something? Is this just pushing the Loli, or just sporting her taste in fashion (I quite like Ashford female uniform better than the Middle School one) She's 14! I read she was 17 and couldn't believe it, glad to know she's 14 though.

I need to watch this episode over again a few times to clear things up. I hope I didn't miss any tiny details that surprise people and are overlooked (like in the 1st episode with the Emperor's geass, It completely missed that)

Any other random comments about this episode you'd like to add, be my guest!

coat hanger? so that's what that thing was!

same thoughts on the cc/anya syncho and lelou/c.c. banter, which was pure love. that said, i'm really not feeling this whole clone theory with anya/marianne. i mean, where did that come from?

[gatekeepers-21.livejournal.com]

People thing Anya is Marianne's clone because of some magazine scans that showed some pictures of Marianne younger, and she had the same exact hairstyle as Anya currently.

Ok this episode was badass. I kinda figured he was gonna start a revolt when he got all upset and started talking to the chinese consorts all pissed about trying to kill the empress and walking over and munipulating the chinese people, but I laughed my ass off when they did it. i'm glad the black knights and the chinese federation are on good terms (really) now. whateve V.V is doing is creeping me out. I hope Lulu is able to save Kallen, her capture is a definit NONO. I was kinda suprised that zero started looking for the people who create the geas users but maybe I missed something in another episode.

since his freak out over Nannaly he's started to change how he does things and thinks, not as quick to use people and throw them away, well in some cases anyway. he really seems to be getting close to Kallen too (shes hooked already), but then theres the thing with C.C as well. I had a complelt and utter lulu C.C moment when she just striped in front of him and lay there half naked. to bad Lulu seems to be above bouts of teenage hormoan moments. but I did laugh when shirly was descibing the power of love and Lulu's thoughts automaticly went to Nannaly lmao.

Lulu has already shown he's pretty good with knightmare fighting from a distence but now that he has his own (without C.C) helping him out) knightmare I wonder if he's gotton any better at actully close range fighting. The thing with C.C and Anya suprised me! I was like WTF. C.C seems to know whats up though. I wonder if shes a contractor like C.C it would explain why she acts like she does.

This season is shaping up to be just as badass as the first. and on an ending note, I am officialy freaked out about the rounds knights being at Ashford, really! as if Back stabbing little bastard Suzaku wasn't enough!.

Ja!

..I must have missed something too.. Sayoko had a crotch shot?

XD Neither can I wait for the Suzaku and Kallen convo.. Though I wonder how she's supposed to eat with her mouth taped and her arms tied... err...

[apapazukamori.livejournal.com]

..I must have missed something too.. Sayoko had a crotch shot?

No, she didn't. I never said she did.

[apapazukamori.livejournal.com]

Nope. I didn't say she did.

[apapazukamori.livejournal.com]

lol, I don't mind the random boobs and butts and crotches. I'm just amused there was so much of it this episode.

I think CC should loan the Tianzi one of her Cheese-kun plushies. XD

[gatekeepers-21.livejournal.com]

Lol... Lelouch in a Knightmare made me laugh, he has to use a keyboard. I bet he sat there a few days straight figuring out every single strategy and just programming it in so that all he has to do is push a key.

[kirax05.livejournal.com]

lol I totally forgot about the possibility that Suzaku is trying to save her.. I think the idea hit me once before reading your post.. but was conveniently forgotton while watching the episode XD

It's not impossible.. but after Euphemia.. it seems everything Suzaku is doing is aimed at revenge towards Lelouch/Zero.. =( it's sad... I loved him in the first season.

lol After Shirley mentioned that one would do things that they wouldn't normally do.. Nunnally was the first thing that entered my mind.. he's done so much for her ... lol you really can't run away from the incest o__O

[kankiin.livejournal.com]

I was giving her the lines from Turn 5 (aka Pizza Festival, Take 2), the first instance where they use their 'terms of endearment'. They weren't from this episode.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

It would be sort of nice if people could actually give Suzaku the benefit of the doubt until we find out the truth. ^_^;;; I think it's pretty clearly established that had she stayed with the Chinese Federation (and Lelouch/Zero had lost) she would have been executed since they wanted to execute Lelouch at the rehearsal dinner in 09.

Suzaku is doing a lot towards revenge but he can also let the revenge go (episode 08) and he doesn't seem to like to drag in other people into it. (he was the one completely horrified that Zero could abandon the Black Knights in 08 when Zero/Lelouch pretends only he is the one getting exiled) I thought 09 showed pretty well how he could be mature about it. I mean Suzaku was the one who stopped Nina from killing Zero first. ^_^;;;;

He's always been nothing but respectful to Kallen. He is the one who apologized to her in 06 before they battled. I seriously doubt his motivations were quite so black hearted. And umm honestly, what does he have to gain?!?!?

I still love Suzaku, every so often you get peaks of the nice person still there, he's just been really hurt by what his best friend did to him.

The incest was just amazing, I think Lelouch secretly wants to star in Angel Sanctuary now XD;

[vicks111.livejournal.com]

Here's probably the reason:
Milly was in senior year in S1, and Lelouch was a junior. Now Lelough is in senior year, making me guess that Gino is probably in junior year.

I am probably mistaken, since I don't think it's been ever said in what grade he is *at least I can't remember*

"Senpai" is used when addressing a person in a higher grade.

[vicks111.livejournal.com]

Is it just me, or Gino looked a lot more muscular on his knight suit?? He was really skinny in this episode o.o

Anya plot looks interesting, but if she and lulu knew each other, he would remember her, wouldn't he??
I really hope for more GinoxKallen development, because I'm likind them more than LelouchxKallen. Suzaku did the right thing by taking Kallen ^__^

Rolo and his brief appearance was win, though XD
I hope Gino drives Lulu mad >:P

...I really liked the China arc, but yes, we need more Geass plot NOWZ!!!

[inulovinkit.livejournal.com]

Ze icon = My face for the entire scene.

At first I was like, "Oh, hi Anya...WAIT--!"

And then when Gino burst in... *heart attack* *heart attack* *heart attack* *brain working not*

I don't think I was able to get over the ABSOLUTE SHOCK until the Turn 12 preview came up and we got the FABULOUS ballerina jump.

[deadums.livejournal.com]

I totally agree about Suzaku trying to save her - he DID promise to bring her back safely to Ashford in the garden with the Student Council asking if he could do anything to help her. Now he has a chance.

[kirax05.livejournal.com]

That is true. I need to start re-watching Suzaku scenes. I just miss his cheerful personality.. At least we can still count on Arthur to give him a bite now and then. XD

lol he can gain in fueling Lelouch's hatred..?

I haven't seen Angel Sanctuary.. though I heard it was good?

I've now been convinced... Suzaku was trying to save Kallen. I can't wait for scenes where Kallen interacts with the Rounds though.. should be good stuff.

[cr-balmung.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking her clone~ I've been hearing it a lot lately. Just make the most sense to me.

[shad-fg.livejournal.com]

IT'S OFFICIAL.
Sunrise has been taken over by fanfic writers.
Code geass is turning into a cliche fanfic.
I mean wtf...
... is with that development with xingke and tianzi. My mind was screaming LOLICON all the way. And xingke's reactions were all too -.-
... is with that Tianzi moment when she had that 10 seconds close up on her face. I thought that only happens in really bad animes where the poor damsel in distress calls out to her saviour.
... is with that over dramatism i thought it was a bit too exaggerated
... AND FINALLY the usual highschool!au plotline that happens in all bad cliched fanfics.
HAH. Just wonderful, sunrise.

[shad-fg.livejournal.com]

OH. Plus that really -___- prediction that has been circulating around about Anya being Marianne's clone.

I thought it was too lame to be true. But apparently the plot seems to be going in that direction now.

[sugar-dustbunny.livejournal.com]

Second: I actually don't really like the theory floating around with Anya being Marianne's clone. The idea of her being Marianne's illegitimate child, on the other hand, would be interesting...not to mention I love allusions and cultural references that are thrown into Geass.

Fourth: Ahaha...Sayako is an amazing woman. I was a bit confused on why Shirley was all sad faces though.

Fifth-ish: Gino looks weird in a school uniform. Also, why do I get this feeling that Gino and Anya are partly placed in school to continue the Ashford antics for when Milly leaves? And I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I'm actually looking forward to the next episode. Loves her crack (ballerina!Lulu FTW) and Kaichou.

[superstition.livejournal.com]

In agreement?

[gomimushi.livejournal.com]

IAWTC SO MUCH

[lulu-quality.livejournal.com]

Actually, her age hasn't been confirmed yet. The magazines have said she's 14, 17, and "?" all in the same month, so we don't know for sure until we get a general consensus.

[starryburst.livejournal.com]

Well, I did think it was possible that Anya could be just another daughter of one of the king's many wives, or something. That would explain how she was able to get military training so early lol. But still, it's far fetched.

She could just be an emotionless Euphy reincarnation.

[starryburst.livejournal.com]

Oh no! I'm late!

I was more interested in Rolo's appearance. He was so excited to see brother again!<3 Dawwww<3

And since my OTP (next to LuluxRolo) is LuluxC.C, I was glad to see that they're a little more warmly affectionate toward each other. And lol at Lelouch's coat hanger. I was all like, "wtf, is that? ...oooh, okay then. D:"

I THINK I LOVE GINO.
