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.
