Code Geass R2 — Episode 13
I don’t like to give spoilers because I think they ruin the experience, but episode 13 is basically one huge spoiler, so it’s kind of difficult to talk about it without revealing anything. As such, I have decided to skip the episode summary this time.
Thoughts
I am not going to say that the most important event in this episode was entirely surprising. Characters in a story often have their roles to fulfil, and it was quite clear that this particular character had no other role to play in the grand scheme of things. That said, we had only just returned from Zero’s expedition in China, so the timing of this episode feels rather sudden. It is almost as if the writers are rushing to make things happen in time for the mid-season climax…
Sayako as a character in Code Geass interests me, because it makes me wonder whether her role as a super ninja maid was planned right from the start of the first season, or if it was a decision made along the way due to plot necessity. What’s next? Maybe Tamaki will reveal himself to be a competent Britannian spy who managed to expertly fool everyone into believing that he’s a hot-blooded idiot.
Interestingly, Lelouch rates everyone in the Black Knights by their intelligence, combat ability, charisma and loyalty, just like an RPG game. But those stats are clearly wrong. There’s no way Kallen has such low intelligence and charisma. >_< And somehow Tamaki ranks the lowest on almost everything, even loyalty.
The Jeremiah plot-twist is a bit of a WTF moment. Did anyone see it coming at all?
Opening
The new opening song is by FLOW and the ending song is by Ali Project. I have no particular feelings for either, except that perhaps the OP sequence has a lot of cheerful people for a song titled “WORLD END”.
Who’s that female figure?
You can tell that he’s going to be an important character from the OP
