Episode 15 Official Site Summary + mininews

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

- The Official Site has released its summary of Episode 15, Kassai no Mao. Translation :



Episode 15 : Mao of the Applause

C.C. states that she will break off her contract with Lelouch and go back to Mao. Not listening to his objections, she left [Lelouch's] side. C.C. knows that Mao's objective is her, and decides to meet him again to take responsibility. At the appointed amusement park, she points a gun at him, but cannot pull the trigger. At the same time, in order to save C.C., Lelouch ponders how to fight an opponent who can read his every thought.



- In unrelated news that probably won't affect any of us here but is interesting to know anyway, Biglobe has put up Code Geass blog design templates for its users. There is the 'general series poster' we're used to seeing, one of Lelouch, one of the Lancelot, and one of...*drums roll*...Orange! The last one strikes me as awesome news, for some reason.

they have created Mao as a device through whom they can say something about CC's character and past

Sadly, he is created for the sole purpose of explaining Geass.;_; He's crazy(in a good way) and as long as he doesn't do his handclap thing, I find him amusing. (though not as much as Orange-kun. He's become a legend now.XD) I lol'd when he nearly jumped out of the window when he saw CC.

get an alter personality, YGO-style. they won against that guy who could read the person's every thought like that! :D

Lulu : *looks into the mirror* Okay, self. I command you on behalf of...me! Create a double personality, now!
Lulu's subconscious : You're the boss!

?

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

YES!!!! having a double personality would be so much easier. no need to do all that voice changing, personality change things... it's already done :D

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Papillon oh dude. That guy totally wins the Freakiest Costume award of any year. XD And he keeps his stuff in a CROTCH POCKET how insane is that. XDD

*ahem*

I actually am not sure whose road is better right now. Chances are, they shall both suck. XD Except S. has Euphie, who's infinitely friendlier to mental health than C.C., lucky him.

I actually didn't think Cornelia had anything to do with it, the moment we saw her. She's way too honorable and family-loving for that kind of thing. Judgement on Schneizel is reserved until we finally meet him, and they'd better hurry it up. >:[ I think it's said that Clovis really honestly liked kid!Lulu, too, oh the irony. XD A nice twist, IMO, would be that Marianne was not the perfect woman Lulu thinks she was, after all, and actually deserved the drastic measures she got. Sure she looked nice and kind, but so does Lulu!

Ohohoho. I should pick up Sousei no Aquarion, if only to see her. (Well-done sibling complexes is a personal moe of mine. Emphasis on well-done) XD The problem with traditional oniichan girls, imo, is the incessant ONIICHAAAAN NIISAMAAA ANIIIII and how they have the whole 'my oniichan is perfect and can do no wrong' thing, it's totally wish fulfillment and they're completely vapid of personality otherwise wtf. XD

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

He may Geass himself into thinking nothing, in that case. That or getting a zombie army with the same method. Lulu the Zombie Lord!

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

But then it leads too easily into crackfics where Lulu wakes up in Suzaku's bed and screeches, not knowing what his alter-self did last night! XDDDD

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN CRACKFICS XDDD they will be good fics :D i love fics that one side is all 'wtf was i doing last night' :D

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Code Geass version, start!

S. : And then you threw out all my Knightmare model collection.
L. : What?
S. : Next you got onto the bed and started undoing the buttons. I was surprised you had it in you, but---
L. : OH GOD WHAT MONSTER DID I CREATE.
Suzaku's neighbour : Kururugi! Tell your Brit friend not to leave his pants in the corridor, okay? They'd think we do something illegal here!
L. : *dies*

?

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

you are such greatness :D

*dies from laughter*

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

I think Jeremiah kun *would* have jumped out of the window to get at Lelouch though! Mao is crazy, but not as crazy as Orange kun! ^-^

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Papillon is marvellous! :D

I think Suzaku's is better myself; people are always on about what a hypocrite he is, as if they're perfect paragons who always do exactly what they say...;)) Suzaku is *trying* to recover from something dark in his past and that's the main thing. ^-^ Lelouch right now is just digging himself deeper in. :)

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Little Clovis was an awesome artist too, as he must have been quite young when he painted that portrait. :) Yes, I am sure Marianne was not all sweetness; she was married to the Emperor after all (and judging by his reaction to her death, she wasn't one of those sweet and cute 'my love is redeeming you' types either!) I think Lulu gets most of his charming personality from Daddy though. XD

Silvia is great. She's definitely not the typical niichan sister. :)

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Heh. Looking at *some* of the Black Knights, I think he's that already. XDD

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

I agree with folks who say Suzaku is a hypocrite. But the awesome is they ALL are. XD Suzaku's main point in this isn't really in his do-say affliction, it's more about his perception-action front. Which makes it more interesting.They're immensely weak and flawed, it's why I like them.

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

He probably saw Lulu last when he was 16-17, and that seemed like it was painted before. It's hard to judge paintings in what is, after all, a drawing, but it seems like he's nicely talented. :D I sort of figure Marianne is a political marriage...she's possible French (hence the names), where there's no longer any nobility. And if she is, I'm sort of hoping she's actually a failed tigress instead of a poor victimized sheep. More interesting. :D Lulu, of course, totally takes after his father. Right down to the signature 'looks down from above' act. Not that he would admit it at this age.

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

BUT WHERE ARE THE "BRAINNNSSS"

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Lol, I don't doubt Suzaku is being hypocritical; my main problem with the rabid haters is that they say that of him as if they've never hypocritical in their lives....lol. >:) They live in sainthood, I guess, to be able to pass such judgement. XD But as I say, he's trying; he just hasn't managed to reconcile what he's saying with what he actually needs to do yet. It's almost like his brain is split in two between the part of him that realises that to acheive his goals he has to work with what the real world offers and the idealist part of him (which is what we hear coming out of his mouth...) XD Bless him. He'll get there.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Well, in those little chart things published in that Zenryokyu fan book, Clovis gets a 10 for art. :D (It's his highest ranked ability - he gets a 4 for brains...:( Poor Clovis! XD)

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Sadly, they don't have any! XDDD

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Oh, they hate him for being a hypocrite? Then I wonder who they like in this series since it definitely cannot be Fan Favourite LL. XD I can see if they hate him for being on a moral high horse all the time because I can see why that'd grate on people's nerves (but I bless the writers; wonderfully refreshing that the 'morally correct guy' can actually not be right all the time).

His brain is split, I agree. XD I am not exactly sure how the split works, he's complicated, but there's definitely something not quite right going on in his head. And it's more delicate than most people give him credit. Pffft.

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

I have yet to get the Zenryoku fanbook. :/ My work has been hectic lately, there's hardly ever a free weekend for bookshopping.

In a perfect happy AU, Clovis would be a famous artist. Canon is such a not happy place to be.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Well, I am not sure *everyone* is hypocritcal. I don't think Lloyd is. Lloyd is just Lloyd. :D He says what he wants to say (and it's usually socially dodgy enough to make Cecile dispair! XDD)

The usual reason why people hate someone on a 'moral high horse' is because those people (in this case Suzaku) point out something glaringly wrong that someone they like is doing that they're conveniently ignoring...XD

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Lloyd? Lloyd isn't hypocritical, he's outright unethical and has no shame about it. XD That's awesome, of course, but it's hardly a 'better' trait if the public outcry is for hypocrisy.

Actually, I think it's the "YOU have the invincible mech shut up D:< and you're not that much better yourself" syndrome. I think people should mind it considerably less if, say, Ougi is the one doing the criticising?
