Episode 13 summary

[defade.livejournal.com]

It's out at the official site. Plus it has a link to Pizza Hut. And since the summary for 13 is the exact same one I got from 2ch a while ago, I might just as well as chuck out episode 14's since they're from the same place.



stage 13 シャーリー　と　銃口

ナリタでの戦闘によって、起こったとある事実がルルーシュやカレンの心を苦しめる。信念を貫きブリタニアと戦っていく決意をするルルーシュは、黒の騎士団を率いてコーネリア軍へ向け出撃する。スザクの操るランスロットと一騎打ちとなるが、その最中、居るはずのないシャーリーの姿を見るルルーシュ。シャーリーは、ある人物からルルーシュと黒の騎士団の関わりを指摘され、ルルーシュを追ってきたのだった。

Too braindead to come up with a decent translation. That and the fact that I don't really get the sentence "信念を貫きブリタニアと戦っていく決意をするルルーシュは...". Basically, Lelouch and the Order of Black Knights head towards Cornelia's troops, planning to attack them. Once again, Mr. Lancelot To The Rescue comes and interfers. When they were engaged in a pitched battle on top of Tokyo Tower, Lelouch saw Shirley, who isn't supposed to be there. She was told by a certain someone that Lelouch had something to do with the Order of Black Knights. To find out the truth she went there.

stage14　ギアス　対　ギアス
シャーリーに秘密を知られたのではないかと疑い、彼女の後を追うルルーシュ。
どう始末をつけるのかC.C.に問われるが、ルルーシュは答えは持たなかった。
その頃、シャーリーはナリタでマオという謎の男と出会う。マオは人の思考を読むギアス能力者だった。
彼に操られるまま、シャーリーはある罪を償うために......。

Not knowing whether his secret was revealed, Lelouch chased after Shirley. When asked what he's going to do about it, Lelouch had no answer for C.C. At that time, Shirley met a mysterious man called Mao in Narita. Mao can read people's minds. While being manipulated by Mao, Shirley, for the sake of making up for a certain sin... picked up a gun and shot Lulu.

(And in case you couldn't figure, I was kidding about the shooting part.:DD It's slashed for a reason, and you'll noticed the original summary didn't have anything like シャーリーはある罪を償うために、ルル－シュを撃った。 Plus if it were true, then Guren and Lancelot will be fighting on top of Tokyo Tower. Sorry for any...erm...confusion caused.XD)

oh please shoot lulu, just don't like.. take out his geass eye.

hey, what would happen if lelouch went blind? would he still be able to use geass? D:

[defade.livejournal.com]

I don't mind anything at all if we get our bloody Lulu. And equivalent_t and I were talking about how people discovered what Lulu could do and poked/ripped his eyes out when he was fully conscious.:DDD Actually, I don't mind the idea too much, but it would be quite troublesome for Lulu.

I don't think he would be able to. Unless Geass is something that stays in your body and if the host is removed/damaged for some reason, it goes to another one. But it's mentioned somewhere that Geass is not exactly a power, more like, a switch that calls forth the user's inner talent and materialises according to the user's wishes.

bloody like my icon? i want a X-styled bloody lulu *___*

i hope it gets transferred or something... i mean, he can still look at people straight in the eye like that blind captain in bleach, but then he wouldn't know who he's geass-ing XDDD I WANT GEASS NOW. MY INNER TALENT FOR MECHANICS HAS GONE ON A TRIP. AND I NEED IT RIGHT NOW.

[defade.livejournal.com]

YES. EXACTLY. CLAMP, I hope you try your hardest to blackmail Sunrise in order for them to provide an X-styled bloody Lulu.*________* I would be so worshipping sunrise if they gave us that. But he should be really careful not to get any obvious wounds(i.e. ripped off arm, leg, one eye poked out) or else Kallen would surely make the connection. Her listening might be bad enough to not recognize Zero's voice, but I doubt she would miss something this big.

DDD: I hate that blind captain. The justice he talks about is as good as none. He wouldn't even know if he's looking at people straight in the eye in the first place.XD;; I NEED GEASS TOO. SO I CAN CALL FORTH MY INNER TALENT TO GET UP EARLY. totally doesn't have that kind of talent

I translate '信念を貫きブリタニアと戦っていく決意をするルルーシュは。' as 'In conviction, Lelouch is determined to go through with his battle against Brittania'. It translates a bit oddly, but basically, it's like...that he must be fighting this battle is almost like his core driving belief, I guess.

It's so funny that people still see Lancelot as 'interfering' and don't just accept it for what it simply is; a specialised Frame of the Brittanian army with every developmental and tactical reason to be deployed in every single battle Brittania fights. *shrug* It's not a simple deus ex machina - it's Plot. It does ultimately belong to Schniezel, after all.

I am amused by Mao - the art of him (in this month's magazine's) is cute. He sits like a floppy rag doll. All those long limbs, they just seem to fold up under him. :) It would seem from this he wants a pawn of his own to pick at CC with. XD (I can see him becoming as hated as Suzaku apparently is for this reason! lol!)

[defade.livejournal.com]

I tried to stick that sentence into numerous translators, but all it gave me was a pile of gibberish. But I guess something that gives me 'mosquito ream' for Kallen couldn't really be trusted...

Lancelot is 'interfering' in the way that it's there to wreck the Order of Black Knights' plans. So from the Black Knights' point of view, Lancelot is interfering. But I guess from a more non-biased point of view, it's just like what you've said.

lol Yes.XD;; His expression looks like he just got out form bed. And I think he looked better without the sunglasses...or whatever they are. (Judging from the pictures, he seemed to have a more...interesting personality than Suzaku. Mao strikes me as the kind of character that goofs around and blanks out quite a lot but can be very, very evil and cruel when he's trying to achieve his goal. He might appeal to more people...?)

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

I don't know; rabid CC fans will probably be unlikely to give anyone who messes with her the time of day, no matter how cutely dishevelled he looks! XD Both CC and Mao are quite inhuman, I expect, so it's likely that when he does things, they'll be whatever he fancies doing at any given moment. ;)

Online translators go crazy with katakana sometimes! They come up with really funny stuff. My grammar is good enough to get meaning out of most stuff so as I have Mr Kanji Dictionary about. ;) (Though I am recognising a scary amount of military and political type kanji these days due to the shows I watch...O_O)

I don't know that *is* the purpose of Lancelot, you know...I think the Black Knights might think so, and so might the Brittanian army, but I think for Lloyd it's all about the playtesting...XD

Poor bloody Lulu. Shirley isn't going to last much longer I think. Not past episode 15 probably. Can't say I'll be sorry to see her go. Though I do wonder how it'll happen. Will Mao kill her? Lulu kill her? Will she ultimately get herself killed by trying to protect Lulu? While I think she'll be upset that Lulu is Zero, I think in the end she'll forgive him and not turn all Fllay on us.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Poor Lelouch??? I'm no Shirley fan, but I do find it constantly amusing that he gets more sympathy than the relatives of the people he's directly or indirectly killed! lol.

[blurredfate.livejournal.com]

It's because he's a ~bishounen~ It's like that in most fandoms. The morality of the person is often overlooked in the face of that.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

You speak truly! XD

[kazune1988.livejournal.com]

i feel so gulity now that i am a supporter of lelouch.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wouldn't be! XD It's just a lot of people try to excuse his behaviour a lot of the time because they find him handsome which amuses me. Nothing wrong with liking him for whatever reason, but I just don't think it's necessary to try to smooth away all the ambiguity that makes him interesting in order to like him! :D

[kazune1988.livejournal.com]

haha.......i like lelouch because he has a very interesting personality.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

He certainly is; I think he's one of the most interesting protagonists I've seen! Though...I do have a bit of a sneaky laugh when he falls on his backside, on behalf of orange Jeramiah kun. ;)

[kazune1988.livejournal.com]

fall on his backside? which episode is that?

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

I don't mean literally; I mean every time something bad happens to him or his plans go wrong. >:) Karmic payback for being exactly like the people he hates the most. ;)

[kazune1988.livejournal.com]

oh, so that's what you mean. ya, you can't get away with killing people, like kira sama.

[zalem.livejournal.com]

Well being shot by one's supposed friend/love interest does suck very much imho. Though she does have cause to shoot him of course.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Being shot kinda sucked for Clovis too; karmic payback is always a bitch. XDDD

[zalem.livejournal.com]

Considering the things that Clovis did, I can't say I'm all that sorry for him. Lulu hasn't done anything even remotely close to what Clovis did. Clovis ruthlessly killed all those people in the shinjuku ghetto. Lelouch, on the otherhand, has said outright that civilians shouldn't be involved. But the reality of war is that civilians will be hurt even when you try to avoid it. But at least he's made the effort. Of course, that's not to say that Lelouch won't eventually become the monster that his half-brother was. That could very well be his future. We will see how he deals with Shirley, that might give us more insight into what his character will become.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Clovis ruthlessly killed all those people in the shinjuku ghetto.

Lol, I've had this argument before. Lelouch ruthlessly killed all those Japan Liberation Front soldiers in his landslide. Pawns, you see. Dispensible in the bigger game.

What can't be disputed is that in killing an helpless unarmed target at point blank range (who hadn't even done the thing Lelouch actually wanted to kill him for - it wasn't about Shinjuku really, was it), Lelouch demonstrated he's every bit as ruthless as the rest of his family already.

I don't dislike him at all, don't get me wrong. I am just curious about why people feel the need to airbrush all his sins away when they're what make him interesting protagonist.

[zalem.livejournal.com]

The landslide certainly was ruthless....but still not quite on the level of murdering little children and old people like Clovis did. ^^;;;

Oh don't get me wrong...I don't view Lelouch as some shining hero that can do no wrong. He can be very cold and calculating. He does use people like chess pieces. But I also think he has a bit more humanity to him and is not quite at the level of Clovis. However, I do think it's only a matter of time. Which makes it all the more interesting....he hates his father and siblings for their beliefs and the way they act, but is slowly becoming more and more like them. Enough to make daddy very proud. It will be amusing to see the moment when this all dawns on him.

But yeah, Lulu killed him more to send a message rather then because he cared about the Shinjuku incident and Clovis had nothing to do with his mother's death. Very cold blooded no doubt about it. But I think I'm also biased on the matter because I just really, really don't like Clovis and wasn't sad to see him go. ^_^;;;;

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Well it's interesting; I could say I pity Clovis, not because he was a good person (which he wasn't) but because he too was a victim of his circumstances. In another life, he'd just have been a vain little drama queen artist and no trouble to anyone. XD But sadly, he was a Prince and a crap one at that. Hosting social functions would be about all he was good for. (I can't wait to see Schneizel. >:) I think his shiny smile hides an altogether more Machiavellian brain).

I absolutely love it that Lelouch gets more and more like his Father all the time. XDDD It would make him sooooo mad. But it's absolutely true! And I think you're right; Daddy would be very proud of Lelouch. Which would also *really* piss Lelouch off!
