How unfortunate </3

Oh hay guys, it's me again. <:D

The death of V.V.  We did not expect it. Well, I didn't anyway. Just goes to show, that even when you're immortal, you're not safe. Anything and everything can and will be taken away from you at any point in time. *sighs* Vuitsu...

Yeah. I think we all had established the misconception that V.V was Charles's puppet master, and Curly was Fivehead's little love toy. But damnit. Charlie is the real evil one. Never would have guessed. ): This makes me go "Noooooooooooooo!", because V.V is supposed to be Goddddd. And seme. D: I hate you Sunrise. And I believe they were even trying to lead us on to think that seme!V.V was the case, but lookie here at episode 15. DENIED. (Also, I think it's almost safe to say that V.V did not actually kill Marianne [unless he did it so Charles couldn't do anything bad to her, but that's a little extreme, haha...]), but it makes me wonder why he was freaking out when everyone was saying her name. Stupid Sunrise. I see what you did there. Tricking us into thinking he killed Marianne out of jealousy because of his extreme brother-complex of epic proportions, and then totally confusing us by using a single sentence uttered by C.C ):) In fact, I half expected this last episode to contain Charles being, "OH MY GOD, SON. SAVE ME FROM YOUR PEDO UNCLE. HE'S CRAZY AND HE WON'T STOP TOUCHING ME!!!!!", and then V.V would come out all regenerated and being his typical orgasm-inducing lolishota self, with C.C on his arm, and be all, "Haha, I have your bitch! Oh yeah, btw, you just got PUNK'D! >:D" (And just admit it, you. Some hot, sadistic V.VxC.C romance would have been x1000000000000000000000000000000 sexier than that creepy CurlyxC.C tango. Oh God, I can see V.V holding C.C like that right now, his hair all magical and everywhere with sparkles all around them. SUNRISE NEEDS TO DIE, SRSLY. ;______________; WHY DID THEY NOT DO THIS. I HAVE TO DRAW NOW...and slaughter something. )));)

Okay, back to my reasons of posting (God, I get off track with my ramblings too easy D: Sorry). V.V gave Charlie his Geass, yes, of course, duh.

But who gave V.V a Geass? C.C couldn't have. She would be long gone, if that was the case. But who...? Obviously someone who hasn't been mentioned on the show as of yet.

Also:


(Both Windows Media Player and VLC are faggots when it comes to screencapping, so was forced to rape inulovinkit of her cap. He screenshot reviews always make me smile. Sorry for totally stealing. xD; Forgive me?)

Flames, blood.. children. Eerie. This wouldn't happen to be V.V getting rid of his contractor, would it? That was my first thought. Then that means he really rushed to make a contract with Curly after receiving his giver powers.

Another thing: What was V.V's Geass? And what circumstances made him accept the contract?

And why did Charles get his "Rewriting Memories" one? Was their past traumatizing? Orphans, maybe? There's a castle right there, and their outfits say "royal children". But what's up with all that burning flames and stuff?

I don't know if this will EVER be explained, considering it's a bit odd to inject information about a character's past, episodes AFTER they die. But since V.V's death scene was so unawesome (they didn't even up-close for him giving his last breath, or his eyes closing or anything. Fail, Sunrise. D:) maybe they'll revive him?

...Or maybe not. D:

Maybe they'll explain it when they go over Charlie's past. Or maybe Sunrise'll be a fag and just expect us to not care.

But in the mean time, what's your guess? (YES, THERE MUST BE A THREAD ABOUT EVERY LITTLE UNANSWERED QUESTION-DETAIL. No, but seriously, I found this confusing and I want to discuss [and I wanted to talk about V.V in general, too, because he's one sexy (dead D:) shota]) I hope I don't sound too retarded here.

V.V discussion, go go go. :D

I personally thought that it was pretty obvious from the last season that at some point the immortality of the immortals would be challenged. The truth is, very few works of fiction have true immortality - conditional or escapable immortality seemed like something that would fit well with the world Geass was setting up, at least to me. Especially given C.C.'s mysterious wish being foreshadowed to be her death, it seemed particularly likely, at least to me, that V.V. could be killed in some fashion as well.

Not a great many animes will leave antagonists that dangerous alive, especially when said anime has as many powerful antagonists as Geass does. They're going to have to start eliminating the ones that will die, and I'm a little surprised that they haven't eliminated more thus far, honestly. By Sunrise standards, I'd say that they've been downright merciful. Even as powerful as V.V. is, it would have seemed strange writing for him to get as thoroughly defeated as he was in 14 and then to come back at full power again - dying or being seriously incapacitated seemed to be the most likely fate for him, at least, in my opinion, otherwise it would risk making him a cheaply repetitive antagonist or keep the situation too stagnant. By giving Charles the immortality and removing V.V., but also incapacitating C.C., it keeps roughly the same balance of power while still changing it up enough that it presents a different situation for the characters to deal with.

V.V. didn't really stand much of a chance of being a final boss, either, with the likes of Charles and Suzaku to contend with. V.V.'s connection to Lelouch is tenuous and second-hand at best, and for him to have survived until the end would likely have only confused the issue of who the main enemies were. Lelouch's personal revenge and vendettas have always been the driving force behind his fight - the antagonists who survive to the end will have to be characters with personal enough ties to Lelouch for it to matter, and V.V. simply couldn't offer that.

I'm particularly curious about that scene myself, however. I'm not sure if they'll ever revisit it, but what intrigues me the most is what I see to be a Lelouch and Nunnally comparison. I find it interesting that rather than deepen the similarities between Lelouch and his father, they instead chose to make Charles the younger sibling.

Oh, you, stop thinking logic. You know I was only rambling because I'm a V.V fangirl. Yes, your points are all true. Now cut it out before you pop a braincell, love. :)
