Episode 15 Official Site Summary + mininews

- 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.

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

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

It'll be easy to defeat Mao. Lulu has in the past used the strategy needed to defeat Mao in the past. Simply telling his subordinates a half truth to lure them into the trap. Lulu didn't tell his subordinates he was going to cause a landslide (he commented on the effectiveness of "haisui no jin" on this own people) or blow up that JLF ship (as bait and decoy to destory Cornillia's main offensive units and leave Cornillia vulnerable). if he can convince one or two people to take down Mao (CC comes to mind who is immune to the power of the geass or even Karen), he merely has to tell them part of his plan, then set up a trap by anticipating Mao's counterplan from the limited information Lulu told his collaberator

The same thought has occurred to me. However, I'm always hoping that would not be the case. In fact, I've been wishing the writers would do some creative strategy changes for sometime now. Maybe if Mao is an insanely intelligent person who can actually backfire Lulu's plans back at him.

A fan can dream, right? (Yes, I know there's nothing fundamentally wrong with (most of) Lulu's successful plans. They're functional. They're practical. But they're also foreseenable. Obvious to the observer, like chess and real overall war strategy I suppose. It makes sense, but damn, elaborate wtf is more entertaining to watch!)

Well, it sounds like i was right. Lulu and CC both come to conclusion that in order for Lulu to put Mao into a checkmate he's short one "piece" (or person). If you think about it, this the most reasonable, highest probability method save a infinately rare cosmic accident.

If it's easy, it's boring.
