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!

Ok am I the only person who thought that rather than to screw over Lelouch or Kallen it's possible Suzaku had her transferred to him because he was trying to be a good guy and save her life?!?!?!

Yeah, Lelouch is pissed about it, but let's be honest, from Suzaku's perspective there was no reason to think Zero was going to somehow manage to turn things around and ummm win. ^_^;; Considering the Eunuchs are planning on killing Xingke, his cool Chinese assistant whose name slips my mind and even Tian-Zi, would it be so shocking for them to kill Kallen too?? Unless you know for sure it is something horrible from some sort of spoilers, I'd prefer to give Suzaku the benefit of the doubt and think maybe he actually thought he was helping her. He was the one who apologized to her before the battle started in 06 and in 08 seemed horrified by Zero selling out the Black Knights. ^_^;;

The outfit Kallen ends in is the typical Britannian prisoner uniform. It's the same one Suzaku wore in 4 when they thought he killed Clovis.

2. I want to say somehow Anya is going to prove connected to the royal family and knowing chibi!Lulu. Since didn't CC have a similar sort of short circuit that time she touched Suzaku except he had all those foreshadowing memories of killing his Dad and some nekkid sequences, yeah!! fan-service!!

3. Yeah the Lelouch/Nunnally on the phone just blew my mind completely. lol

And I seriously think Gino is the first character I have ever seen who looks awful in a school uniform. I so hope he goes back to his KoR outfit. ;;_;;

I dono if Suzaku really intended to save her, he may have some back plans, the same thing he did with Nunnally.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

But we found out he hasn't had any plans with Nunnally ^_^;;; Nunnally requested on her own to be the new governor because she wants to continue Euphie's plan and prove her sister was not just the "Massacre Princess" ^_^;;

Suzaku's only plan with Nunnally has been to try to protect her and he's been nothing but gentlemanly and kind to her.

About the only thing he did to Nunnally was not tell her the truth, and while Suzaku feels guilty about it, the version of the truth Suzaku knows is not particularly flattering to Lelouch and it's probably actually a mercy he has not told her. ^_^;;;

(Cause as 08 showed, Suzaku does not know Lelouch geass'ed Euphie by accident. Do you really think he should tell Nunnally, yeah Lelouch has some magic power he used on Euphie to make her kill people and then killed her. I don't know Nunnally might love her brother an awful lot but I think she would be pretty horrified to hear something like that. ^_^;; )

i thought of that

didn't Suzaku promise to bring kallen back to school, safe

[gatekeepers-21.livejournal.com]

Wasn't that Lelouch?

[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

[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;

[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.

[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.

[tenshi789.livejournal.com]

OO nice perspective. I was like SUZAKU YOU BITCH but there is a possibility that he was saving her xD

Although it would be interesting to see Kallen as a Britannian, I'm gonna miss her Lelouch+rest of the Black Knights interaction. (but I guess it'll be replaced by Kallen and Suzaku/Gino/Britannian interaction?)

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I think it's the most likely answer. ^_^;;

Personally, I seem to remember some much earlier discussion where people got upset because Kallen was not counted as a main character in R2 and this might be sort of a way to take her out of the storyline for a bit. ^_^;;;;

I'm also going to go with whatever is happening with Kallen in the future, Suzaku is not pleased with since he was back to his frowny face in the cut away shot and had his hands fisted at his sides while staring at Guren. You'd think if this was all Suzaku's evil plot he would look less grim and would have a more relaxed standing position, like say Gino did.
