Oh yes, I've been feeling like the Black Knights would be in for a rude awakening for sometime. Although I wasn't entirely sure of it until I re-watched the episode where the Japanese Liberation Front met their end and I realized, ooooh no. Mr. Zero in fact BLEW THEM UP.
I was pretty sure he didn't give a fig about whether Japan was liberated - if they managed it in the wake of the destruction of Britannia, cool, otherwise, this is Lelouch/Zero not caring.
And Toudou, I didn't even register him the first time around. In episode 11, they start talking about him, and I'm like who? What? What guy, where? And then I rewatched episodes 1-8, and still missed him. And then rewatched episodes 1-5 (I've been pimping the series to friends as I drag them over to watch it), and that's when I was finally able to go: ooooh. Ok. Guy sitting in front of a katana with a Japanese flag in his vicinity doing nothing has a name. Got it.
Of course, watching episodes 9-11 and then going back and watching 5, I recognized Tamaki as the guy arguing with Suzaku. Bah. How are we ever supposed to keep track of some of these guys?
(Toudou better have a part one of these years. All those snippets and conversations discussing him better have a purpose, eventually!)
