"Would've liked to see that." - Ayuyu on my boner

Confirming these things did nothing, and Lelouch offered only tactical reasons why he did what he did. Nothing felt heartfelt from Lelouch for a lot of the discussion.

Lelouch was just trying to make himself out to be the bad guy that Suzaku thinks he is. He knew Suzaku would never except the truth, so he decided to just let Suzaku believe the lie since it would be easier for both of them. Suzaku realizes Lelouch is lying, so he decides to give him another chance and try and work together.

I actually loved the Lelouch/Suzaku stuff. But I like Suzaku far more than most do (apparently).

Season 2 Turn 18

I'm still not digging this opening! It sounds too happy, to be honest.

Zero giving orders. Going after Nunnally, per usual.

Kallen is excited! Gino is being a douche, no shock there.

Schneizel giving orders. Nina is trying to use the Lancelot. What a dumb b****. "More importantly, are you prepared not to fire it?" Suzaku laying it on heavy.

Rolo heading in.

Suzaku going right after the Zero/Lelouch. Threatens him the F.L.E.I.J.A. Zero thinks he's lying. Jeremiah Gottwald with the sneak attack! "Loyalty trumps all!"

"The storm of my loyalty." This loyalty stuff is getting kinda ridiculous. Suzaku holding his own against the "Sutherlund Zieg."

Guilford is so damn confused! Seriously, this stuff has to create brain damage. "Are you able to dissipate my lord's torment?" Good God, Jeremiah Gottwald. You ham it up even worse than Lelouch. And I didn't think that was possible!

Nina suggests firing the the F.L.E.I.J.A. You know, because mass destruction is always a good idea so long as you get ONE person. Nina, go f*** a table covered in barbed-wire.

3 on 1? This hardly seems fair. "No one can defeat a Knight of the Round?" But... they get beat a lot! That seems to be a reoccurring theme! Oh, Gino. Your terribleness is only trumped by your stupidity.

"Orange, you say? That is the name of my loyalty." I... am sensing a theme here. Jeremiah Gottwald seems to think this so called "loyalty" is very important.

Lelouch plans to kill Rolo after he saves Nunnally, while Rolo plans to kill Nunnally because he is clingy as s***. Lelouch, did I not say last time that it was incredibly stupid to send him to rescue Nunnally? And this guy can single-handily take down Britainnia? Uuuuuuuuuuuugh.

"I'm the only family you need." Seriously, what the hell? Also, the Maid always wears that damn hat. It bothers me more than it should.

Interesting, if Nunnally doesn't leave, everyone can't leave.

OK, the sound just went out while Kallen was talking. I hope I didn't miss anything.

Lots of individual battles going on. Lelouch arguing with Suzaku.

Anya shows in the Mordred, close combat style! Going to fire her giant cannon point-blank against his shield. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object!

"Just Tamaki?" What do you mean, "just?" Tamaki has carried the Black Knights from the very beginning! He should be able to help Zero out of this situation!

Oh s***! They're going to execute Kallen! The Maid rescues Kallen! Yay! She's getting her Guren back, too!

They're destroying all the... whatever disturbers! come back train for Britainnians!

They do send Tamaki and he can't figure out where to go! Dammit man, thanks for letting me down!

Anya freaks out, psychedelic style. Someday you're going to have to explain what the f*** is going on, Code Geass. And I expect I won't like it.

Uh oh, they've got the Gawain trapped! And here comes the "Vampire of Britainnia." I hope he survives this battle. I really, really do.

Kallen getting ready to kick ass! Oh s***, it's got wings! And that awesome music is playing! Love this music so damn much.

"Father, I let you down! Forgive me!" Should I know something? Was this guy important? Or his father? Whatever.

Zero is so boned! The Emperor's hair is so goofy! Everything is going badly!

Tamaki gets knocked out of the battle! You useless jerk!

So is Kallen like Sonic the Hedgehog now? Lloyd is so pissed! Why is Cecile smiling? That's a friggin machine of death you created and now it's on the other side! You should be fleeing in terror! Fleeeeeeeeeee!

Sir Bradley and Kallen having a battle! Apparently the arm fires out now. Yes, we get it. You want to take everyone's life.

"Send a postcard." Hahahahaha! Best one liner.

Sir Bradley is dead... awwwww. I really liked him. He only appeared in two episodes, he had potential! Damn you, makers of Code Geass! Daaaaaaaaaaamn you!

Oh, Kallen vs. Suzaku again. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I like how they just seem to talk to each other on the battlefield like they aren't taking any of this s*** seriously at all.

Tohdoh is making a push, the other Holy Sword member thinks its a good time to a Mutiny! And apparently he's going after Rolo, too.

Cornelia! And she's trying to escape her... whatever she's in.

"Victory is within our reach!" Usually a bad sign.

"Self-centered brat!" What an odd thing to say.

Oh man, s*** going on from all different angles! It's crazy!

...

...

See I figured this s*** would happen after you jerks said he would do something bad! Everyone is freaking the f*** out! Mass hysteria! Oh no! Everything's getting enveloped! Guilford saves Lelouch!

Lelouch asks Rolo for Nunnally. Rolo says they were too late. Lelouch is in denial. And that's how this episode ends.

I will say this probably my favorite episode of the season. Great action, several different angles playing out, a great ending (even though you jerks spoiled it!) and it's got me wondering how things will be going forward (though part of me wonders if Nunnally is really dead, but I think I'll take it at face value with a bit of skepticism). I think what makes this episode work is that there was a legit sense of tension throughout the episode. And it came to a frantic conclusion playing out all sorts of different angles. It's interesting, watching Suzaku trying to get Lelouch to listen to reason, all the while Lelouch seemed to be acting more and more deranged. And to finally hit him with the bombshell that Nunnally is dead, I wonder if it'll lead to a full fledged mental breakdown. It's also interesting how it mirrors Euphemia's death, in the sense that it was a tragic mistake more than anything. Imagine, if they didn't outfit the F.L.E.I.J.A. to the Lancelot, none of this would have happened. Now both Lelouch and Suzaku have experienced a great loss. Perhaps this becomes a type of bonding point for them. Or perhaps it makes Lelouch obsess with killing Suzaku. It could go any number of ways, and seeing how this did not resolve the Lelouch/Suzaku conflict permanently, I'm eager to see how it plays out.

"Father, I let you down! Forgive me!" Should I know something? Was this guy important? Or his father? Whatever.

No, they weren't.

Also regarding that, later another Knight of the Round will be introduced. Her sole purpose is to DIE FIVE SECONDS LATER in place of the ONLY Knight of the Round with ABSOLUTELY NO SPEAKING ROLE. You might possibly confuse her with the other Knight of the Round who also dies five seconds after her first line of the episode, but she appeared in a previous episode (and talked!). HER sole purpose is to be completely ineffectual and forgettable. They are both completely unimportant.

"Send a postcard." Hahahahaha! Best one liner.

In the original, she just said "sayonara" (with that same really disgusted look on her face). In fact, in the dub Kallen just seems to have a couple of randomly thrown in one-liners, now that I think about it.

"Father, I let you down! Forgive me!" Should I know something? Was this guy important? Or his father? Whatever.

Back when Lelouch was saving the Black Knights from execution (episode 3 or 4), this was the Glaston Knight who swore to avenge his father but got Geass'd. Lelouch used him and his long distance rifle to trick Rolo into joining him. His father was Andreas (sp.) Dalton from season 1.

Next 2 eps kinda suck, but they do address many of the plot points you've been wondering about. 21 is where it starts getting really good.

Anya freaks out, psychedelic style. Someday you're going to have to explain what the f*** is going on, Code Geass. And I expect I won't like it.

You'll never guess what it is lol.

Season 2 Turn 19

Emperor doesn't give a s*** about the fact that Tokyo is a crater. 10 million people dead... wow. That's a lot!

Nina making the same face that she did when Euphy died... and she's shocked that her weapon of mass destruction caused mass destruction? I can see why she's the worst character on this show. Jesus Christ, she's dense.

And they already have names of all the dead? Suzaku is naturally shocked. HA! The school's outside the blast radiance. Plot convenience is so bad sometimes.

Lelouch is freaking the f*** out. SCARY FACE!

Skipping the musical opening this time.

Ohgi and Viletta run into each other. Awww.

Cornelia vs. Deithard! "Aim for her legs!" Holy s***! Schneizel just landed on a Black Knights flagship!

Seriously, Lelouch is done. He's broken. Rolo trying to insist that it should be just him and Lelouch. Oh, I'm sure this will work out.

And of course he snaps. And he rightly screams at Rolo. "I hate you, I loathe you, I despise you!" Thank you, Lelouch. I hope Rolo kills himself.

Lloyd and Nina sharing a moment. "I'm a sociopath." No you're not, Lloyd! You're an awesome human being filled with awesome quotes!

The Black Knights discussing what to do here.

Jeremiah Gottwald is searching for Nunnally, finds Suzaku instead.

Ha! Playing to Tamaki's ego. I love it.

Jeremiah Gottwald and Suzaku share a completely one-sided conversation. That was... pretty pointless.

Rivalz being awful. Milly wasting time.

And the seeds of mutiny grow. They finally tell the Black Knights who Zero really is! Welp, here it comes.

Oh jeeze, now they're telling him about Geass. Lelouch is really, really screwed. Ohgi and Villetta have turned against him, too! Lelouch doesn't have anything left in this world.

Deithard being the voice of reason. Everyone else being idiots. Ugh.

Oh joy, Euphy reference.

Wow, they're hitting them hard with this evidence. God damn, when Lelouch gets hit with bad news, it's really bad.

Ohgi tries to leverage turning over Lelouch for Japan's freedom. A reasonable request. At the very least, it means the Black Knights weren't a complete waste of time. But they are really piling on Lelouch here. He thinks Suzaku betrayed him, Nunnally's dead, the Black Knights are turning against him. It might be karma for the actions he has taken, but still, I can't help but feel like this is going a bit far.

C2 tries to comfort Lelouch. Another person he's lost. Kallen comes in, I wonder if she's turned, too. Ha! Kallen suspects they were bonking while they were in the cell! Awww, he quickly de-confirms it. I was hoping Kallen's imprisonment would lead to more resentment with Zero/Lelouch.

Zero apologizes for not rescuing Kallen. I guess my theory is officially dead. Good job wasting a good writing opportunity, makers of Code Geass.

IT'S A TRAP!

Kallen is defending him against accusations! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Kallen asks what he means to Lelouch/Zero. He laughes evily! Hahahahahaha! He's playing up the whole "game" angle. I love it.

Zero did it intentionally to save her! He does care!

--
TheRock ~ Death By Misadventure, Not Suicide
"Would've liked to see that." - Ayuyu on my boner

Rolo for the... save? Really?

Rolo really is creepy. He's using his geass to keep them off him.

This music is really weird for this situation. Rolo doesn't really get it, does he? "I'm not a tool. I do this of my own free will... as a human being!" Oh, so he's Gray Fox.

Rolo says that Lelouch was lying, that Lelouch never tried to kill him and doesn't hate him. Lelouch indulges him in his final moments.

Suzaku is still in that spot. CRAZY LAUGHTER!

Zero has lost everything. But he's got one more thing to do. Take down the Emperor!

Ragnarok Connection, eh? Final Mission? Considering that there's 6 more episodes, this is very long or not your final mission.

Overall, a decent episode. The main storyline is Lelouch dealing with the loss of Nunnally, going through various stages of grief. Denial, anger, etc. I do find it interesting that he's deciding to press on without Nunnally, who was the one constant in his campaign. Everything he was doing, he was doing for Nunnally sake. I also like the hint that he truly does care for Kallen. Perhaps its because she's the only one left. Or perhaps he realized the more involved he is with someone, the more he destroys their life. Or he simply felt he was not worth dying over, and needed to trick her so she would leave his side. Either way, I'm glad to see that Kallen and Lelouch were given a moment. I'm a bit sad that the whole "forgotten prisoner" thing didn't go anywhere. It seemed like such a good setup. Oh well.

But that final sequence with Rolo bothered the hell out of me. I understand the whole "death = redemption" thing they seemed to have going, but I always felt Rolo had passed that moral event horizon. The killing of Shirley in cold blood was an unforgivable event, in my opinion, and I'm disappointed Lelouch never used that against him. In his dying moments, Lelouch indulged him with his fantasy. And the fact that Rolo was OK with being used by Lelouch just because it made him feel "human" didn't really evoke any sympathy from me. Rolo always struck me as a possessive, individualistic character. Everything was about protecting his big brother, but only because it made him feel good. Even in the end, he only did what he did because of how it made him feel, not because of any real loyalty to Lelouch. And the fact that he was willing to kill anyone that threatened his position as closest to Lelouch (Shirley, Nunnally) was equally despicable. The writers never did a good job, even in this final sequence, of making me sympathize with Rolo. So when this final "heroic sacrifice" came along, I felt less like "Rolo has a heart" and more "Rolo is so desperate for Lelouch's love he will kill himself to get it." And he does. And part of me wishes Lelouch told him the truth again to reiterate his true feelings. Rolo didn't deserve to be lied to there. He deserved to die knowing the one person that "loved" him and made him a human being really despised him and was treating him like any other tool. To me, that would be a fitting death for Rolo.

So yeah, kinda slow episode, the Black Knights turning has been expected for a while, and a decent set-up for what looks like a one-on-one battle between the Emperor and Lelouch (which I am giddy about).

Rolo's death is one of my favorite deaths. I used to hate him, but for me, that was enough for his redemption.

Now Lelouch is all alone, and he's surprisingly calm about it.

Yeah, that is a horrid episode for Nina (even more than usual). She literally spent the majority of her time in the prior episode trying to get Suzaku to use her bomb, and now she acts like she had no idea what would happen and didn't want it to happen. Bull****

Lloyd and Nina sharing a moment. "I'm a sociopath." No you're not, Lloyd! You're an awesome human being filled with awesome quotes!

Yes he is. He is still an awesome human with hilarious quotes, but he is also a sociopath.

Bump.

Gino disagrees with all this. He's quite upset with Suzaku. "What matters is results," says Suzaku. So he's gone full-blown into Zero/Lelouch territory. Interesting how hard he fought against this, and now he's the very thing he hates. Nice contrast against Lelouch's jump in humanity this season. Wait, what am I saying? Code Geass being good? Hahahahahaha! That's a laugh. No, this show is awful and will continue being awful.

Suzaku is going directly after the Emperor, while Gino is held at spear-point. Schneizel and Gino interacting, and Schneizel finally starting to show his smug-snake side more.

Oh s***! Suzaku's already there! SWORD FIGHT! Accusations! Suzaku really hates Geass. "You abandoned her. (Euphy)" "So what?" Wrong choice of words there, Charles.

And here comes Bismark Waldstein (hehehehehehehe). Everything is so damn mundane to Charles. Oh goody, Bismark has Geass as well.

Suzaku's eyes are flashing, apparently its telling him to live. See, this is what is so damn confusing about the geass to "live."

Bismark points out that Suzaku is "weaker" without his compassion. An interesting way of looking at things. Especially from a guy like Bismark.

EXPLOSION! Here comes Lelouch! Hahahahahaha!

Suzaku ran away! The Knight of 12, huh? Something tells me that's the expendable one that dies. Just a thought.

Woooooo!

Shoulder-shaking laugh! Anya/Marianne vs Bismark! Well, that was short-lived.

Just looking at Anya here makes me want to shut this off and never start it up again.

....

The hell is this? "God, hear me now! The time has come to settle this!" I hope it's a fist-fight. I wanted to see God vs. the Emperor in a boxing match, It'd fit this show perfectly at this point.

Emperor points out the fact that he's immortal, while Lelouch destroys the exit from this place. Hahahahahaha!

"Lelooooooooooooooouch!"

"Let us repent, suffering together for all eternity!" Lelouch really has snapped.

If I haven't made it clear enough, I will outright say it: the revelation that Marianne is still alive has pretty much ruined everything. I am not exaggerating here, the very reason for Lelouch doing what he did was to avenge his mother's death and create a new world for his younger sister, has, in the span of two episodes, been rendered completely pointless. The fact that Lelouch is unaware of this is irrelevent. This came completely out of nowhere, with no build up and only minimal foreshadowing. There was hints that there was something up with Anya, but the fact she was apparently harboring the "soul" of Marianne was an absolutely atrocious plot twist. And the fact that this stupid event is all it took to bring back the old C2, making C2's memory loss period completely pointless and stupid as well. In fact, I assume at this point that anyone important that died before this is really just alive thanks to Geass. Is Euphy dead? No, she lives on. Her Geass allows her to become Suzaku's farts, and every time he passes gas, its her saying "I love you." Nunnally? Her geass allows her to change bodies with anyone around her. She's actually Lelouch now. Lelouch became Rolo (but don't worry, Rolouch comes back to life thanks to Suzaku's Geass of Necromancy), and Rolo became the Arthur the cat. The cat became a pizza, consumed by C2, which then caused her to gain all the memories of the cat and lose her own again. Now she runs around chasing mice and drinking milk from a saucer.

Season 2 Turn 20

Suzaku monologue! That's new, I think. Reflecting on his past, talking about his mistakes. He blames Geass, not a surprise.

Nina is moping. God, I hate you. Shoot her, Suzaku. Shooooooooooooooooot her! "It's a big hit, Nina." Hehehehe.

Opening sequence skippage!

Lelouch hypothesizing on what the Emperor is doing.

God, what are those people around the Emperor wearing? They look even more ridiculous than him.

Anya freaking out some more. Geass!!!

C2 is hiding. Poor girl. Anya talking to C2 like he knows her. Huh.

What the hell? C2 and Anya in her... mind, I guess?

...

...

...

You know what? F*** this. I'm done. I'm f***ing done. You broke me, Code Geass. I'm broken. I don't even give a s*** anymore.

C2 has her memory back. Who gives a f***? I don't care. This is all stupid bulls*** and I don't care.

Viletta and Cornelia talking to each other. Is this the first time they've interacted? "Noble rank isn't everything."

Black Knights think they should say that Zero is dead and that he was killed in battle. He's just a symbol so he can't really disprove it. Whatever. F*** this nonsense.

Lelouch and Rivalz talking, which is somehow NOT the low point of the show. We can thank that little revelation earlier.

Lelouch is actually sad that Rolo is dead? F*** you Lelouch. F*** everyone on this show.

Lelouch is going after the Emperor directly. Should be fun.

Emperor is doing something that's causing glowing red doors and symbols all over the world. Even the penguins are not immune. Apparently the Ragnarok connection is what will kill the "old god" which is just as stupid now as it was when it was first mentioned. Emperor just muted that b****! He doesn't care about your stupid wars as they are now "obsolete." Still not the stupidest part of this episode by a long shot.

Milly announces that Zero is dead. Uh-oh! Everyone is really sad! Jeremiah Gottwald wants to see his face. You cannot deny Jeremiah Gottwald the truth! Kallen trying to reason with Ohgi, Ohgi and the rest of them being idiots. Seriously, you do owe a lot to the man, as the Black Rebellion was going nowhere fast without him. If he never came along, you'd be crushed like any other attempts to retake Japan. Maybe instead of trying to kill the guy or hand him over to Britainnia, you actually thank him for what he's done. "Oh no, he manipulated us" Yeah, into "manipulated" you into winning a damn war against impossible odds. God, I hope the Black Knights completely crumble without him.

Lelouch using Geass'd people to hold other people's eyes open so he can geass them. Redundant isn't it? Whatever, this show is so friggin dumb anyway. May as well add to the stupidity.

Playing pool to pass the time...

Lancelot Albion? Custom Knightmare, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Everyone is kinda upset with Suzaku, yet they pick the most ridiculous music to play in the background. Seriously, it completely undermines the scene. Not that I can take this crap seriously anymore.

Schneizel comes in with Cornelia. They lie to her about Guilford.

Suzaku confronts them about the truth. "I've been naive to this point." "No, you?" Lloyd, I love you. Please stay who you are while I try to keep what little sanity I have left.

Suzaku wants that Knight of One position. He's suggesting... mutiny! Alright, mutiny on both sides! Schniezel wants to ascend to Emperor. He points out how the Emperor doesn't give a s*** anymore. Hmmm... I COULD dig this storyline if this show didn't become instant crap earlier. Ooooooooooooooh weeeeeeeeeeeeeell.

If you still care enough about the plot to not want to have things spoiled for you, you might as well keep going. I think a lot of the plot points you seemed to really dislike get tied up soon. The last few episodes have a plot that is more straightforward and has less to do with stuff to screw with you head. That isn't to say everything you dislike is going away, though.

Well, at least say tell me this:

It doesn't get worse, right? There's been some bad plot twists so far, but most ranged from "this is pretty stupid" to "eh, whatever." This is the only one to truly piss me off. So there's not another one like this, is there?

First half or third of season 2 isn't too much of a departure from before. For the latter half, it depends on whether or not you can enjoy absolutely absurd plot twists. Constantly. For instance, a fun game to engage in while you're watching is to guess which characters that get killed actually stay dead.

I told you, man, I told you. Also, if you continue, remember the game. You will get more WTFs. I assure you.

Also: to whoever marked me for spoilers without warning, I would hope you realise that the spoiler I gave was so inconsequential (especially compared to every single absolutely ridiculous plot twist from here on out) and it probably SAVES the effort of not having to look it up. And that I could have very well spoiled this episode by prefacing my previous image with this:



Which also makes Marianya look like a futa!

Also, at this point most people were basically just watching to see if Clovis wasn't dead and he and Rivalz were actually secretly behind everything. I can say, however, the last episode ends well. And this is from someone who went in thinking there were only two possible good endings for the last episode:

"Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies" and "Psyche, nobody actually died." And this was doubly reinforced by a development mid way through that episode.

The ending was neither of those and still managed to be quite good. Now, whether that includes Clovis/Rivalz hijinks, I leave up to you to discover.

As for next episode, it basically spends most of it justifying the twist in this one. Then that entire plotline is resolved so you'll never have to deal with it again. You can basically skip ahead to the last 5 minutes or so. If crazy **** looks like it's happening, go back another couple minutes. And then you're hit with another absurd plot development. Or, well, RELATIVELY speaking that plot twist is actually quite logical.

Spoilerless preview of the next episode:

To complement Laughzaku previous episode and Runzaku this episode, we have Roofzaku next episode.

I didn't care much for Marianne's revelation, and the next episode made next to no sense to me. I'd say just skip all the emperor nonsense, watch the very end of the episode, and continue from there.

Personally, as much as I loved the first season, I tempered my expectations going into R2. For the most part, I just wanted to see how the story ended. That's not to say I didn't like it, but that desire got me through these two episodes, which I felt was the low point of the series. If you don't care, there's really no reason to continue.

No, nothing as bad as the Marianne thing.
