Damn straight. I want the Witch & Warlock, not the Moeblob and Master. >_>

Re: [Where I Watch] Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

I think episode 14 is really what causes things to fall apart for Lelouch. After all this time and everything that happens, it's telling that it's the loss of Shirly that causes him to lose the grip on his rationallity.

Expect the results of his roaring rampage of vengance to come back to haunt him.

Lelouch? Gentle? The man named Zero who's manipulated the deaths of millions and led so many on strings?
Compared to many people CC has known, Lelouch is gentle. This tells you a lot about CC's life story.

She used to be a Geass user herself before becoming an immortal witch? Her gift made people fall in love with her?
An apparté on Geass powers. I think when people are granted a Geass, its power takes a form that fulfills what they direly wish for at heart. CC was an unloved, lonely child no one cared about, so her Geass was to be loved by people (which is a great way to have it never be fulfilled in truth); Lelouch was a brat frustrated by the lack of power he had on his own and his sister life, so he was given the Geass of absolute authority. Charles.... Charles has the power of manipulating people's memory, in fact, a power of absolute lies, and yet Charles claim to detest lying and to try to prevent people from lying. I say Charles is a gigantic hypocrite.
(No I haven't et figured out how it works for Rolo and Mao).

Count me in the side of the people who hate CC as a moeblob.

Ohgi survived? What the hell happened with those three? We're supposed to see it through flashbacks until then and just keep guessing
Basically. Witness the Code Geass storytelling crumble under the weight of the size of its cast of character

"There are no miracles. This is all calculations and theatrics. The mask known as Zero is a symbol... It is merely a tool used to make lies..."

"You lied that you're the ally of justice, right? Then just make that become true." Suzaku will join with Zero if Zero can bring peace to and change the world? What the hell?
There is no words for how much I love this scene

You'll see; it's actually quite apt.

Told ya: Lulu is God Emperor Leto II. After Shirley's death, he's decided to make himself the focus of all the hatred in the world and thus remake it.


Quote:
How.... how wickedly evil. Lelouch Geass'd Guilford to see him a Cornelia!? He's toying with the man's own devotions in the most horrible way possible.
Charles may be running about 0.85 Gendo Ikari, but Lelouch is at about 0.79 himself.

*all my opinion*

We're reaching the Houdini moment essentially. Lelouch is being forced to discard his masks and reveal his true nature. Which is, of course, the same as Light Yagamai.

From Death Note:


Near: No. You're just a murderer, Light Yagami. And this notebook is the deadliest weapon in the history of mankind. If you had been a normal person and had used this notebook once out of curiosity, you would have been surprised and scared of what had happened, regretted what you had done, and never used this notebook again. To speak of extremes, I can actually understand those who would use this notebook for their personal interests and kill a couple of people, and even think that they're normal. But you yielded to the power of the notebook and the Shinigami and have confused yourself with a god. In the end, you're nothing more than a crazy serial killer. That's all you are.


Now replace it with "Geass."

What's the difference?

THE HUGEST SPOILER EVER.

Lelouch realizes this and recants

Re: [Where I Watch] Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

well, basically, going back a ways..

Quote:
...in what way are you superior to Clovis now? You're ordering the merciless slaughter of civilians, an action which you so despised.
1) Clovis ordered 100,000 people killed because he made a mistake. Lelouch may have personal reasons, but destroying the City of Geass (tm) deprives Brittania of more Geass users. As he knows anybody could be a researcher or test subject, he can't spare any lives. Similar to sabotaging a knightmare frame factory, there should be a distinct advantage down the line (although events seem to play out before the loss is felt).

2) Lelouch regrets his mistakes, e.g. the other candle for Euphemia. To Clovis, people are expendable, a failing he shares with other Brits (spoiler deleted).
