i loved you, and yet you threw away my heart and crushed it with your high heeled shoes...

[tomoyohime8.livejournal.com]

you're a manipulative son of a bitch, aren't you?

this is different from last week's epi since that was more of a character analysis. this time's more like a blow by blow with often unnecessary comments, only without pictures because i am lazy. more ramble ahead, one that probably makes less sense as you keep on reading.


cut for spoilers and sorrow.



we begin the episode from where we last left it, at the scene where lulu goes OMFG! nunnally's alive! she asks him if this all for her sake - and lulu tells her that this is all for him. that he'll crush her along with everyone else if she gets in his way.

i love lulu now. at least he's resolved to play his part to the end, to keep the mask on, even in front of his sister - and i like how he and suzaku are not friends, but accomplices. they've gone too far to go back to something resembling friendship. too bad suzaku still has that awful costume though.

i also liked the cc-lulu moment. it didn't feel romantic, more like, i'll be with you until the end, even if noone else will. when you've stained your hands red with the blood of millions i'll still be there, beside you, my hands stained as well. something like that. (fic prompt, anyone?)


next schneizel's master plan and modus operandi is revealed. he wants to establish peace by killing everyone who's part of the war.

[lol moment: palawan, philippines is one of the places. where'd the budget come from, haha]

BRILLIANT MOVE, SCHNEIZEL. HAVE FUN ON YOUR OWN THEN. with kanon i knew you were a manipulative bastard. you lied to nuna-chan, lied to the otbk, to the entire world.

cornelia rejects this plan. i love cornelia. she's probably the only decent person left here who has both sense and compassion.

schneizel then snaps his fingers and then some random gun comes out of a statue and shoots her down. in the back!

q: how did the random gun know who to kill? one of the many mysteries of geass i suppose.

CORNELIA - HIME! i mourn thee. you were one of the best GARR! females i'd ever known. damn you sunrise for giving her such a lame ending. i'd have liked for her to survive.  she would have made a great leader.



i so hate Ohgi now. and the whole pregnancy thing was lame. who knew they had enough time and energy for procreation, what with the war going on and all. he's probably going to die though. leave viletta a single mother epilogue.



so gino finally picked a side, eh? sounds to me like a ginoxkallen ending is in the works. anya is.... ? she shows up in the fight, but i think her part was over after the whole marianne thing.


orange-kunxsayoko. new otp? it's nice to see people sticking to their sides, instead of going back and forth, back and forth.

i really, really wished nunally stayed dead. why does she trust schneizel?? i thought she was smart! does she think that because lulu and suzaku, the two people who loved her the most have been lying to her all this time - everyone else must be telling the truth??!

probably the only reason why you're still here is because the producers wanted to show that lulu's resolve was firm, that this really would be his final stand until the end.




WOW, real time chess. i was never particularly good nor interested in chess. i preferred scrabble.



schneizel shouldn't underestimate lulu. and has anyone noticed that lulu likes to manipulate the environment? the sakuradite incident in season 1, that gas thing in the first half of r2 (i forget which gas) and now the sakuradite again.



i want to get to the end already. i can't take this anymore. i'm addicted to geass and i can't stand it.

.. all hail chastity whut....?

Who knew they had enough time and energy for procreation

Love and sex are good things, as long as they were on Lelouch side. Then love and sex became EVIL!!!

This fad is getting ridicolous. LULZ.

[miaega.livejournal.com]

But then it's forbidden and that makes it SEXY or something. idk. I think my brain is half-melted.

[frottage.livejournal.com]

i really, really wished nunally stayed dead.

I would whole-heartedly agree with you, if it wasn't for the fact that Nunnally's "death" wasn't climactic enough.

Lelouch did all that he did for her, and all we get is a few lousy one-liners that make absolutely no sense. "LET ME HEAR HER VOICEEEEEE", fffffffff.

[http://users.livejournal.com/-rainne-/]

i prolly would be one of the person who:

- agree that Nunnally should stay dead
- Cornelia should have lived
- agree Villetta pregnant is lame
- ginoxkallen OTP

I WISHED THIS TO END! but not really, that means the end means no more. but i want to find out what will happen. Schneizel should just bow down and hail Emperor Lulu. why make things so complicated when its almost the end. but the again, thats the whole point.

[eire-endellion.livejournal.com]

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE ME, ONLY NOT.

I agree with everything you've listed. Except for the GinoxKallen OTP, but that's 'cause I'm sticking to my GinoxMilly theory where they run off and start a news station.
...
GinoxKallen is my second OTP.

[miaega.livejournal.com]

All of this makes me want to go back to my little fantasy world where it ended shortly after season 1, but then there would be no Gino and no two-page spreads of Lulu and Rollo being heterosexual together. :(

[klingon-jedi.livejournal.com]

What they did to Cornelia was inexcusable. She basically got Monica's death. (speaking of which, has her fanart doubled since she died?)Shot in the back after she impulsively (and stupidly) draws her sword. What the hell? The hidden gun was totally Schneizel though. Still, I mourn for Cornelia-sama. Crap death for an awesome character. Euphy got better than this. Shirley got better than this. Hell, Rolo got better than this. F-ing, not-even-supposed-to-be-in-this-show Rolo had a better death. DAMN YOU SUNRISE!

Nunnally has no reason to distrust Schneizel. It's in her nature.

I totally agree that after the Marianne bit, Anya's rather nothing. Her bit in Turn 12 suggests she isn't exactly the best of Knights. I loved Anya, but she needs to go if she's to remain a villain. Sorry Mikuru-chan.

Actually I applauded Ougi for putting Villetta out of danger. Though the fact that he's still alive is amazing. Lahkshata and the Bridge Bunnies better be as well. Geass needs all the remaining babes it can get.

[tomoyohime8.livejournal.com]

my two theories for the gun:
1. someone's operating it in some hidden room
2. it works by schneizel's thoughts. knowing geass, this one is probably the right one, lol.

what ougi did was great. it was just disappointing to see my former favorite otp reduced to a war cliche (man goes off to war, leaving pregnant lover behind; man most likely will not return home)

lahkshata seems to me like the type who can get out of any situation - my bet is on her surviving. XD

[lost-colours.livejournal.com]

>Cornelia rejects this plan. i love cornelia. she's probably the only decent person left here who has both sense and compassion.

Cornelia should have realize that her whole family's mad... The genes of abnormality runs in their family...

Freaking father
Mad 'mother'
Bad-a** brothers
Stupid blind sister

>i so hate Ohgi now. and the whole pregnancy thing was lame. who knew they had enough time and energy for procreation, what with the war going on and all. he's probably going to die though. leave viletta a single mother epilogue.

I agrees!!

[tomoyohime8.livejournal.com]

err.. but we don't know anything about cornelia and euphemia's mother (or did we? it's been so long i can't remember)

[angel-dunnant.livejournal.com]

Well, on Villeta getting pregnant, even though it's kinda lame but it's possible. There's a 1 month gap for their peace until Lelouch took the throne after all ^^a

I so agree with Nunnally should stay dead too, I don't even understand how she lived (only watched raws for now) >_>;

And Cornelia *sobs* T___T

[cranes.livejournal.com]

I wonder if she'd be that far along after only a month, though? But then again, it's Sunrise so anything is possible.

[theprerogative.livejournal.com]

I think my heart broke when Rolo died. It's a complete circus now.

[lunchy.livejournal.com]

IAC

For me, it just went downhill from there. SEE? It falls apart without Rolo!

[cranes.livejournal.com]

I can't be the only one praying to Taniguchi the gods not to give us a Gino/Kallen ending, can I? I really hope they're not done with Anya, either. Give back her memories pls.

[klingon-jedi.livejournal.com]

Apparently they already have according to the dialogue. Though outside the murder, what memories exactly? Were her lapses merely caused by Marianne?

[cranes.livejournal.com]

Also, going back on my personal beliefs, I think procreation in a time of war is necessary to move forward. It all depends on what they do with it, though. I kinda hope Ougi lives now to father his children. lol way to strike sympathy into people, Sunrise.

[lunchy.livejournal.com]

I'd be more interested if Arthur procreated. Kittens!

[klingon-jedi.livejournal.com]

I've just realised that they've killed all my absolute favorite girls now except three: CC, Cecile and Milly. I'll throw Kallen in since she's grown on me. Still, Euphy, Shirley, and now Cornelia... Though it could've been worse. THey could've made her evil by outright supporting Schneizel...

Dammit Sunrise... T_T

The chess battle was some of the best of late. Awesome scene.

[cranes.livejournal.com]

I hate to admit it but if the only alternative was to have Cornelia join Schneizel, then I would rather accept her death as a good thing. It would have been infinitely more awesome to see her kick his ass, though.


I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Sunrise hates women. D:

off topic, but as much as I love Cecil I keep forgetting her as "one of the girls" orz

[brokensocks.livejournal.com]

I used to be okay with Ougi but now I hate him. He and Villetta can't control their hormones... they're fighting a war for Pete's sake, come on!

...unless Pete is the new name of the baby. =0 Who wants to bet if it'll be a boy or girl?

[tomoyohime8.livejournal.com]

looking at what happens to women in cg, viletta better hope it's a guy.

that'd make a good poll though. or a discussion, maybe - all people could give proof on WHY unnamedbaby should be a boy/girl, lol.

[starsinshapes.livejournal.com]

DAMN YOU SCHNEIZEL!!!! He killed cornelia and for that I hope Lulu pwns is ass.

[chickee1.livejournal.com]

I maintain that Cornelia must be alive, we saw one splert of blood and, remembering the fountains we got from Shirley (which didn't exist around cornelia) I'm saying she's A-OK!

Pregnant Viletta is fine, we need more half-castes in the world =).

I did like Lelouch lying outright to Nunnally, for some reson it made me happy. Nuke-Nunnally is still cute.

Anyone notice the Fleija didn't actually do much?

It's all on in the next ep, the majority of the characters must die here.

Anyone wanna make a predicted dead/alive list for the next ep? Not based on any spoilers, just my view/wishes.

Dead:

Orenji
Ougi
Tamaki
C.c. (I don't think she's going to make it to 25, since we had the cute moment in 23)
Nina
Deithart
Nunnally (I don't want this, but someone has to go, and the girl is expendable, as he existance didn't stop Lelouch's plans...)

Alive:
Lulu
Suzaku
Kallen
Gino
Kanon

I'm still out to lunch on Schneizel... I want to put him in the dead column.

[kyandii-holic.livejournal.com]

I'd add Xingke to the dead list.
Unless the preview is completely unrelated (and knowing sunrise it may perfectly be), I sense something is going to happen to him. Even if the plot is revolving around Lelouch/Nunnally/Schneizel issue!

[ladyassassin27.livejournal.com]

cornelia rejects this plan. i love cornelia. she's probably the only decent person left here who has both sense and compassion.

I compeletly agree with you, and HATE! Sunrise for the lame end they gave her. I expect people to get killed of, this being Sunrise an all, but honestly, they could have given her a much better death than that, I refuse to accept it, so I'm going to believe that she survived.

I'm loving lelouch right now though, for sticking to it even though Nunnally is against him.

orange-kunxsayoko. new otp?
Interesting, very interesting ... *ponders*

[klingon-jedi.livejournal.com]

As for people amazed at Viletta getting knocked up, never heard of "War Brides"? Heck, I'd not exist if not for WWII bringing grandpa to England...

[e-eleniel.livejournal.com]

All in all I agree every word you have said here.

I never liked Oghi to begin with and though the pregnancy thingy is lame, it is still exceptable because of the one-month period without activity on either side.

Cornelia was the sole sane person left in the family. Actually ı would very much like to see her become the new ruler of whatever is left of the world. She is clever, has commonsense, compassion... I was wondering her reaction to the erasing of Pendragon with all of their siblings still inside it, and hers was just what I wanted to see... She rocks. Also Schnizel proving himself to be the real sibling-murderer here was as expected. His reasoning is crazier than Marienne and Charles'. They all have issues. Maybe the series will end in a psychic ward? baw.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Cornelia actually survived to come back and show everyone that Schnizel is the ultimate evil here and everyone turns on him, FLEIA-ing his ass into the heaven? I still have hope:D

Seeing that Suzaku and Lelouch so far away from being friends was hurtful, though we couldn't expect any better, ne? I hope they both survive...

Black Knights are really the party who have been used ever since their beginning, then shouldn't it be better if they were more clever? I wonder if they will ever do anything with their free will other than following some royal psycopaths' order to reach a common goal...

Hmmm... Nunally is a disaster. Actually I am glad that I was right thinking that Nunally is stupid and trusting enough to believe Schnizel... How much past do they share compared to she has with Lelouch? It is funny that she could be so thrusting towards Schnitzel just because Lulu and Suza lied to him, he must be telling the truth now? Haha...Disillusioned loli...

[e-eleniel.livejournal.com]

...just because Lulu and Suza lied to 'her'... I meant. Such a Freudian slip... Rolooo...

[moonloop.livejournal.com]

Well with Viletta's pregnancy, I think it's more of a symbol of new life after the war so if Sunrise is human at all, Viletta has a sure-fire way of being alive at the end of all this to substantiate the new life into the new world after the war. Whether Ougi is dead or alive is one thing but killing a woman who has a baby inside her is really inhumane, even in an anime. D8

Cornelia had such a lame death and I refuse to believe she's dead. Maybe she'll be crawling around somewhere in the next few episodes. I mean Shirley got a whole bathtub of blood and Cornelia barely had any. That death is too lame for her. She was the only decent character besides Shirley (I'm a Shirley fan so please don't bash my opinion) and all the good characters need epic deaths at least. :(

C.C. and Lelouch probably have the best relationship in the show. It's not romantic at all unless C.C. has unrequited feelings for him. though I think she always have some sort of feelings with those she gives Geass to. But I think she'll finally get her true wish and that is to die. She'll probably take the opportunity if it greets her. Also Suicidezaku, if I believe, he wants to die too but can't because of the "Live" Geass that is on him. I think Lelouch will ultimately be by himself in the end or die by himself. I don't see him being alive but I could be wrong...

This show is so... crap right now. The show started falling apart after they started killing off characters and having them jump into shit. I never liked Rolo and he had served no purpose other than fanbait. Lelouch never really cared for Rolo and in fact wanted to kill him after he was finished using him. At the very end he did appreciate Rolo but I don't think he truly cared/loved him. After his death, everything went back to normal like he didn't exist, which is what I preferred. The episodes with him were lame and he felt out of place. Glad he's gone. But that's just my opinion.

And the last thing, Nunnally believing Schneziel... (fuck his name is hard to spell Dx) that is just bullshit (there should be a bullshit episode or even just a whole season on Geass-drama). She should know her brother better, afterall she's BLIND. Blind people have a better perception on the world than most people! Sure he lied but he did it for her. She should know when Lelouch is saying shit like he did is a way to protect her. But he isn't going easy on her now. I wonder what will happen DX

Geass has turned into a major soap opera. Killing off characters, making them pregnant, high power rulers fighting (that chess battle is ftw!), table fucking lesbians. It's a good soap opera. and if I know my soap operas, this isn't looking like a good ending or partially happy one.

[levy.livejournal.com]

C.C. and Lelouch probably have the best relationship in the show

I was too positively surprised by the good rendition of it in the last episode. It was very touching, and deep, and believable. I wasn't so optimistic about it, given the crap that has been happening in this show, lately.

[kusaja.livejournal.com]

I actually liked the real time chess, thank you very much.

Gino x Kallen?

Not going to happen.

Heck, Sayoko x Orange is more likely, and that's still a crack pairing.

[tarkara.livejournal.com]

Sayoko x Jeremiah OTP FTW


Other then that.......... Geass continues to be very "SHIRLEY WHO?" xD

[snowdevil-crow.livejournal.com]

[i]i also liked the cc-lulu moment. it didn't feel romantic, more like, i'll be with you until the end, even if noone else will. when you've stained your hands red with the blood of millions i'll still be there, beside you, my hands stained as well. something like that. (fic prompt, anyone?)[/i]

I am so stealing that idea. It's been in my head for awhile now, actually, a sort of introspective look at CC and Lelouch...

I'm still holding out hope that Nunally is either a)Totally and masterfully playing pretty much [i]everyone[/i], as in she actually doesn't believe Schneizel at all and just wants to be Empress, to make everything better... or... b)She knows but she's too heartbroken to care.

D=

And in any case, it completely makes sense to me that she would oppose Lelouch. She's never been as woobie-hearted about following him as he has been about following her. It's just her whole 'trusting Schneizel' thing that gets me. >_>

And... uh... Goodbye Lelouch and Suzaku. You're royally screwed now.

[snowdevil-crow.livejournal.com]

UGH. Can someone please explain to me how the heck one is supposed to put italics in? >_> I thought I had finally figured it out... *sigh*

[azulluna.livejournal.com]

Not, Orenji! I really want OrenjixSayoko to happen. Now, Kallen, I don't want her to die, but since Sunrise apparently doesn't like women, I wouldn't be that shocked if she gets killed off.

[lily-lily.livejournal.com]

1. SHENANIGANS ON CORNELIA'S DEATH.

2. Sayoko x Orange = new OTP

3. Gino x Kallen = almost as hawt as Suzaku x Kallen but still better than Lelouch x Kallen

4. I don't mind Viletta's bun in the oven. I also don't think Ougi is going to die. He's had like a million and one sure-fire chances to be killed off but he keeps coming back. Like a cockroach.

5. Nunnally, for the love of--- why are you back? Why? I was just starting to accept your "death"...

6. Schneizel please die soon.

[consequences.livejournal.com]

4. I don't mind Viletta's bun in the oven. I also don't think Ougi is going to die. He's had like a million and one sure-fire chances to be killed off but he keeps coming back. Like a cockroach.

WIN, DARLING, WIN.

[eggy-egg.livejournal.com]

Nunnally just won't stay dead. D:

Code Geass has broken my brain.

[mixtapehaven.livejournal.com]

CORNELIA'S DEATH IS BLASPHEMY. She didn't bleed a lot so I guessssssss there's still a chance she's alive. *cough* Sunrise.

Jeremiah is win. Jeremiah + crazy ninja maid = epicccccc love.

There's not much to be said that hasn't been already, but I used to think Schneizel was the coolest kid in town. Now he can just GTFO.

And oh GOD TANIGUCHI please no Gino x Kallen. And I'm holding out for Gino's survival too (and Anya's, I also hope they don't kill her off because of lack of plotline).

All I know is, the next two episodes are going to be epic win or epic fail.
