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..

So... The emperor is actually a GOOD guy?? Another twist... I'm betting the final boss on Anya/Marianne...

*continues being brain dead*

Angst Lelouch is going to remain angst...

Lulu: WTH?? So now that emperor's innocent?? And you said we're useless to you?? Why don't you tell us the truth then?? You BIG FAT LIAR!!

How dramatic...

Can anyone like define a "gentle world without lies" ?

It's just that I'm having a really hard trying to imagine.
If it's just as complicated for you as in me, than just a "world without lies" would suffice.

Gurren Lagann end?

WTF? Emperor, good? I find it hard to believe. Man, this is getting more twisted than ever. We can't really tell what would happen next in Code Geass.

tagged. please do the same in the future.

I wonder if that can really be taken at face value. "A gentle world without lies" -- that sounds just like something Charles' would say to try and mess you up.

But I'm more curious about the Emperor's excuse for banishing Lelouch. It must be REALLY GOOD, for Lelouch to consider reconciliation. Maybe around this time Marianna-as-Anya has already shown up? That or Lelouch has grown and humbled so much he's willing to accept anything.

Oh Charles.

I'm really hoping for this to be for real. A vindicated Charles would be amazing.

I want Charles to be a good guy too. It just seems so not fair for him to be the only character who's "evil" when the series has stressed the idea of a moral gray area so much. Besides, I like to think that Charles started out the same way as Lelouch, but ended up becoming too disillusioned with the world and sort of going batshit insane.

i still read this as "charles = bad"

[cr-balmung.livejournal.com]

Wait until Leouch finds out that his mom's alive. xD

I wanna see his face go WTF.

Eva end. Everyone gets turned into Tang.

cheap plot twist, unpredictable but nothing surprising. I find geass plot getting dull since I read r2 supposed to have different story. This one reminds me to Clamp's style converting the bad guys into some innocent villain which have good intention but covered with lies and mask all the time.

I dont know why they made this type of plot, either this is planned on the first place, or they couldnt make up in the time to create emperor's real objective. I hope this plot is not result of some deadline. =(

for some reason I feel losing my faith and excitement toward r2. I wish it is only temporary =(

Yeah... But he can't be totally good either! He laughed when Euphie killed the Japanese.
I'm going with grey, really.

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 just refuse to believe this. Gives away too much to be a TV guide synopsis and it's not one from the main anime magazines, because I checked.

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

It would make perfect sense for Charles to be plumbing the depths of evil in search of a truly perfect world, because that's basically what Lelouch has done. And anybody who can't see the fantasmic resemblance between Lelouch and his father needs to be slapped with a wet herring. (Kindly, though - I mean, i don't want to hurt you or anything, but, seriously... you should see these things!)

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

No way in freaking hell >_> Charles is bad to the bone...

Oh what the hell am I talking about!? Everything's up in the air anyway, who really cares until its actually the end? *sulks in her corner*

[cloudcataurelia.livejournal.com]

Well i guess the new ep settles this eh?
