I don't know if this has been discussed before, but does anyone else, like me, think that maybe, maybe, Lelouch's feeling for Nunnally surpass those of an ordinary brother? Maybe I've just read too many mangas that end up involving incest, but it just seems that Lelouch is going the extra mile for her. Any thoughts?

EDIT: I suppose I should have stated my case better with evidence rather than turning it into a free for all where people think I'm pulling this out of my butt 'cause I have no problems with incest (and yeah, maybe it's because I don't have any brothers) in animanga.



Yes, I admit, it's not unnatural to want to protect your family. After the death of his mother, Lelouch had only Nunnally by his side and because of her injuries, she required his attention. For the longest time, I didn't think anything of his devotion to her, but after certain events, it just makes everything come a little more into perspective.

I care about my family, and tons of people really love their siblings. I'm not heartless and would let anyone in my family die without trying to help them, but if I had Lelouch's power, I would fight for the innocent as much as my family. He claims to fight for the rest of the world, but deep down it's all for Nunnally's sake. Without her, he probably wouldn't do what he is.

In the 6th Picture Drama, Milly teased that Lelouch and Nunnally's love was beautiful but dangerous (even if she was joking, there were obviously grounds to make this assumption).

In Episode 21, when Nunnally and Euphemia were talking, Nunnally made the comment that when they were children, the two girls used to fight over who would marry Lelouch.

In Episode 23, as he fired the shot that would ultimately kill Euphemia, he admitted that she was his "first love". So he obviously had, at some point, stronger than typical feelings for his sisters.

But the turning point for me, at least, was in Episode 11 of R2. If anyone recalls, Xingke and Tianzi obviously loved each other, despite the age difference (and if people are going to spazz about the incest claims, what about the pedophilic feelings between them? He is a heck of a lot older than she is). So, not knowing whether to force Tianzi into a political marriage, or allow her to be with the one she loved, he called Shirley who told him "Love is power. Falling in love with someone gives you great power. Thinking about this person every single day...jumping into waterfalls and screaming the person's name," and when she asks, "Don't you have someone like that Lulu? To dedicate more than you normally would for someone," he immediately thought of Nunnally with his look of utter realization on his face.

There is such thing as being attracted to your siblings, and it's something some people can grow out of. Whether it's "penis envy" or whatever you call it, some girls are attracted to their fathers, some boys to their mothers, some children to their siblings. So for that to be in anime, something that dips in every taboo available, pretty well, it's not completely impossible.

While I find the thought of Lelouch loving his sister on more than a brotherly level amusing, I think it's just an aspect of the anime that Sunrise likes to use to mess with people (see the Picture Drama of R1 where they're all at Clovisland, or whatever). Lelouch only cares for her on a brother-sister level, and not more.

If you've ever seen Fullmetal Alchemist, it's kind of like what Edward and Alphonse do for each other. You'd think that sacrificing your limbs would be a bit much, even for your only living family member, but Edward, like Lelouch, cares about his sibling enough to sacrifice his life. That doesn't necessarily equate to romantic feelings. even if I think they do, mmm Elricest

I'd have to say that Lelouch is too oblivious to sexual desire right now to be considering Nunnally like that anyway XD

Speaking of FMA, I totally use the part where Ed offers up his heart to get Al back as equating to mucho ♥♥♥ for those two, teeheehee~

[lavaliere]

Agreed. He's too concerned with his OMGKILLDADDY and OMGWHOKILLEDMYMOM to think about sex. Usually. Most of the time. The part where he immediately thinks of what he does for Nunnally's sake in response to the "Love is Power" thing just goes to further show that. still doesn't stop me from shipping him with Rolo

Me too, me too. Though, I still think the "I want to touch you, Brother. Is that weird?" qualifies too. :3

[carnimirie]

Haha, exactly ^^ I mean, consider the scene where he's working by the pool that C.C. is swimming in. Any other normal boy his age would be much less focused on the laptop and a lot more focused on sneaking peeks at her, but Lelouch was completely oblivious. That and his complete inattention to Kallen and her bunny suit just adds to the evidence that Lelouch has forgotten all about his dick.

Isn't there also a part where Al talks about forgetting what Ed feels like and how he smells? I swear, the anime is just brimming with good Elricesty lines >D

[lavaliere]

I think the only time we've seen him sexually interested in anything was that one scene with Kallen. And even then, it's for "comfort", wtf Lelouch? Grow a penis already.

I think so... xD; It so is. I need to get my copy back so I can watch it again~ The movie doesn't help either.

[carnimirie]

Yeah; that scene felt to me like he was acting, doing what he thought he ought to do in that kind of a situation, rather than what he himself wanted. He didn't want Kallen like that, not really, and I think she knew that and that was the main reason she rejected him.

I only own about half of the series still orz BUT I own two copies of the movie? |D;;;

[lavaliere]

IAWTC so hard. xD; Poor Kallen. She deserves better, I think. 'swhy I'm rooting for Gino/Kallen

I have the entire series and two copies of the movie as well. xD;; I bought the original when it came out on dvd but also the boxed set because I'm such a dweeb.

also, where's mah Ed! :O Al is lonely~
