Plot summary for 21

[tanzentravis.livejournal.com]

Did anyone notice that it's been changed/updated?



"Within the Sword of Akasha, the Emperor reveals the true reason for banishing Lelouch, and his intention to create a gentle world without lies. Lelouch almost reconciles with the Emperor, but changes his mind when he realizes that the world the Emperor desires has no future."

zOMG. Lelouch - real final boss?! I kinda hope.



By the way, I culled that from the Geass episodes wiki page. I think it's fairly trustworthy because there's at least two people who seem to be constantly monitoring the page and reverting speculative edits etcetera, and this edit wasn't reverted. If anyone can find a better source, though, by all means..

I'm thinking that the "creating a gentle world without lies" part would be the desires of Charles' insane mind... Translating that into Kill all humans = gentle, lie free world. ;D

I think reading into it any other way, such as making him look like a good guy..would be silly, I doubt there'd be that kind of plot twist so close to the end. And in reality, it'd make for a pretty poor ending for Lelouch to be the "bad guy."

I'd hope the animators/directors/etc wouldn't go and do a silly thing like that.


But I could be wrong. :V

I don't think Lelouch would be 'The Bad Guy' if Charles turned out to be semi-OKAY. Because not matter what Charles intentions are, whether they are good or bad, he's hurt too many people to get there.

The same goes for Lelouch - we're just able to redeem him better because we've seen more of his story. Imagine if this show was about Charles, and suddenly some brat tried to ruin his awesome, nice plans.

Actually, it still wouldn't matter if Charles had what he thought were Good Intentions, because he's hurt too many people to get where he is. So we'd see it as perfectly fine for Lelouch to stop this man.

But, the same goes for Lelouch. He's hurt countless just because he wants his old life back. And now just because he's lost everything. When he kills Charles, we'll be able to easily justify it because we've seen his entire story - he's redeemable in our eyes because we know him.

Imagine if Code Geass was about Charles, and then suddenly some brat comes along and tried to ruin is plans of a 'great, happy world with no lies.'
