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.

Suzaku being a completely embarrassing person in his Nice Guy Mode + Lelouch being a really, really emotionally dependent person though he is oh so in denial about it = basis for SuzaLulu, at least the Japanese side of fandom. Western fen seems to be leaning more towards crack.

Hahaha. Basically, LL = Schneizel, Kallen = Cornelia. From the big picture, of course. I don't think Schneizel is a mechpilot guy, really. The clothes he's shown in, for one thing, is not a military man's clothes. He's more likely the commander.

Kallen = Cornelia Except for the facts that Corneila is beautiful, a talented pilot and doesn't get lame crushes on people when she doesn't even know who they actually are...>:) *I love Karen - can you tell?*

I am a real yaoi fangirl, don't get me wrong, but the relationship doesn't work for me. I don't see it at all. :) So there we go. I am one of these yawnsome people who has to see some chemistry to ship a couple. And here, I personally don't. Not that kind of chemistry.

As I say, I can't see Lelouch with anyone at this point. And Suzaku has fallen for Euphemia. (Ambitiously! XD Though you know what, even though he's an 'eleven', if Suzaku could romance his daughter and hold off the opposition to him, I bet the Emperor would be impressed and might well give it his private blessing XD)

I love the thought of Schneizel in his new mech. He'd get up in there, into the cockpit and Cornelia would get in hers and off she'd go. And then a few minutes later, she'd get a call from Schneizel saying "So...how'd you actually start these things up then?"....lol!

Yes, aside from Lloyd, I have the impression that you start off affectionately listing all the stupidities in the people you love. XD And that might be because Lloyd currently has done no stupidities, except pissing Cecile off.

I am not a yaoi fangirl (except for very special occasions where the manlove IS the point of a very good series, and done convincingly) and thus cannot really see the appeal. The chemistry used to be there at episode...6, however. 14 DOES have one "WTF Suzaku" line, but considering what they said to each other in 13, well.

LL/CC is my preferred pairing. It works like a falling Hindenburg at the moment, sure, but give them looooooots of time they might crack under pressure. What better pairing than that between the two most selfish monsters? At present, I doubt LL even sees himself in that kind of light ('romanceable character') , even if he's a romanticist at heart. XD

XD Well, I do like to be honest about the people I like, and as they're mostly villains, I'm pretty much happy with the fact that they're a bad old lot, but they have their saving graces. ;) I guess it's important to me not to whitewash away all their most interesting psychological tangles - why excuse away what makes them interesting you klnow? :)

I also like relationships. Yaoi is hot, but I don't go for random pairings; all my Code Geass ships, as it happens, are het. That's just the way the show has turned out for me. I won't build in boy's love for the sake of it. ;) Though...I am certain there was a bit of a spark of something between Gilford and Jeremiah. But unfortuneately, the scene wasn't longh enough to get more than a brief impression. They obviously know each other though.

(I love the way Cecile treats Lloyd because it's so affectionate really. She just thinks he's a terrible idiot. XD Which he's not exactly; he just says what he thinks unfiltered through the normal social graces we learn to use. That might be aprt of what Schneizel likes about him, I guess).

Lelouch and CC certainly deserve each other. ;) Poor Mao. And yes, even though I was never her fan, poor Shirley. And poor Karen, with the biggest rude awakening to come. >:)
