code geass r2 episode 15
As expected some of the truth of geass is revealed, although to a lot of us it’s probably not that much of a surprise what C.C.’s wish was. Other than that we got to see Drugzaku struggling with himself, Nunally asserting her authority, and a literal “cliffhanger.” Oh, and a naked C.C. and a loli C.C., I almost didn’t survive that.
This scene made me giggle, because it made geass look like some sort of laser beam when it’s actually invisible. I guess it’s just a way for them to allow the viewer to understand what’s going on, despite it not really being visible. Well Lelouch, it was a good plan to think up, even though we know it really wasn’t going to work.
That’s goddamn right Kallen! Slap Drugzaku silly!
It would seem Suzaku is still struggling with his morality, it is not so easily cast aside as he tried to do last episode. This episode showed both Lelouch and Suzaku in a much brighter light than last episode, and they both showed empathy and resolve here in contrast to the dark nature of their actions in episode 14.
By now we’ve seen multiple stages of Charles’ life: from shouta, to young man, to old man in a wig. V.V. looks just as shouta now as he did back then, except without the ridiculously long hair. And they made a promise to one another not to lie when they made their contract, which gives reason to some of the things Charles said last week.
Surprise! The show can’t end at episode 15 so of course he’s not dead! No, instead he has taken V.V.’s immortality in exchange for the loss of his own geass. Kind of silly that they call that taking their “code,” but made up uses of English words in this show shouldn’t be too surprising.
Oh god, not these two. Out of all of the storylines in Geass I find this one to be one of the stupidest and most uninteresting. Two generally incompetent, dull, and boring characters who are easily manipulated by Lelouch falling in love. It’s like a really bad Romeo and Juliet with the Brittanian woman and the Japanese guy. Gag me with a spoon. Thankfully supameido Sayoko is there to bring the pain.
I didn’t really understand what this “you are me, I am you” and “one person” metaphor stuff is about. I guess they couldn’t just tell us everything in one episode, and had to leave some of the mysteries up in the air.
Most people saw this one coming. From the very beginning, when I knew she was immortal, the first wish I thought she could have would be to die. It kind of flows naturally from being immortal and alone most of the time, and watching people you’ve grown close to die of old age or the frailties of human life. What I didn’t predict was that the underlying truth of geass user and geass giver was for the user to become powerful enough to kill the giver and take their place in immortality. I just thought it was unique to C.C.’s contract, because V.V. said their contract was to slay the gods.
Lelouch really stood his ideological ground here, refusing to give into C.C.’s self-pity and depreciation of life. His entire purpose in gaining the power of geass was to continue living and create a world in which Nunally could live in happiness. To him, there is meaning in just existing and driving toward your goals. In the end, he isn’t willing to kill C.C. in order to gain power equal to Charles. He isn’t the cold-blooded pragmatist that Charles is, who is willing to do anything to secure what he wants.
Respect mai authoritai! She’s much cuter than Cartman, but damn she showed some spine here. I thought we had seen the last of that Ms. Rohmeier hag, but Nunally uses her hand polygraph test to figuratively smack her up. You go girl~!
Oh man the genius finally figures it out after 15 episodes! Man, what a freaking moron this fellow is. And then he gets owned by a blind and crippled girl, BMW OPS who can tell he was lying without even using her hand polygraph. Just by listening to him speak. That’s two lolis that have owned Suzaku.
