Code Geass R2 — Episode 17
I don’t have time to blog much about this episode. Not that there’s much to blog about. It’s just the chickens coming home to roost. Poor Lelouch. He is so misunderstood. :(
Summary
Her boobs grew bigger
The new United Federation of Nations launches an attack on Area 11. Nothing really interesting happens. Knight of One has Excalibur, which he totally stole from Suzaku’s cat.
“No Suzaku! Someone might see us here…”
Yet another misunderstanding widens the colossal gap between Lelouch and Suzaku, driving the two former lovers farther apart. When everything comes to an end, will they once again find warmth in the embrace of each other? Or will the cruel spike walls of conservative Britannian society prevent their deviant feelings from becoming reality? Stay tune to find out.
Kallen, your time will soon be here!
Zino (or however his name is spelt) is apparently related to the Ashfords? He’s also being particularly friendly to Kallen… Looks like he has some other agenda than his obligations as a Knight of the Round. My guess is that he will go against the will of the Emperor and fight to realize the dream of his beloved Suzaku. He probably has some super awesome Knightmare Frame stashed away under Ashford Academy which he will lend to Kallen for great justice!
“Oh yes, don’t worry bro. I’ll ’save’ her…”
And oh yeah, Lelouch assigned Rollo to lead Nunnally’s rescue mission. Uh, wtf? He has clearly forgotten about what happened to Shirley. Good bye Nunnally, you were the least annoying of all the lolis, although Kagura can be awesome sometimes.
Thoughts
Meh. Maybe next time.
Screencaps
Suzaku kidnaps Nunnally out of jealousy
Serious Suzaku is serious
Born to die
Penetration
I think this show should stop introducing new characters
BDSM porn
“I like.”
Wait, what?
“It’s morphing time!”
“I…don’t know you”
Go Go Power Rangers
More BDSM
Don’t ask, don’t tell
:3
Superfluous recurring characters
A knight in shining armour
“Suzaku is such a slut. I’m going back to Nunnally.”
So much BDSM
He’s riding a Knightmare with specialized janitorial equipment
A shallow character introduced late series who will probably amount to nothing and die
Gah. Physics test tomorrow. Sigh.

Yeah, I really didn’t expect that the Freya would take out part of the parliament building. However I think Rolo just said that so Lelouch stops searching for her, but who knows.
I am really horrified by what you think is funny. By the way, think before you talk, Suzaku has a live geass, so it’s impossible for him to die basically. Also, I doubt thee will be any rape in this show. (you must be going, “Aw, Damn! I can’t fap to Nina!”.
One last thing to say, I was right about Kallen and Luciano (heh heh), and I doubt that Nunnaly is dead because my theory is that the Brittannian special envoy that visits them will have Nunnally in it (since Schniezel knows who he is and what his weakpoint is). Although I am disturbed by the whole thing about “cutting the black knights in two”, it might mean that there are those who are loyal to him after knowing he’s the former prince of Brittannia, and those who aren’t. My guess of the loyals are, Tohdoh, Jeremiah, Rakshata, Ougi, Diethard, Sayoko, Rolo, Guilford and Kallen. The unloyals is probably like Asahina and Chiba and a few others who were at the geass directorate incident. If I named a few dead ones, my bad, all I’ve done is read the episode reviews.

Could you be more specific here? Rolo didn’t just say it, she did actually get engulfed by the light, and you saw the gigantic crater at the end, it’s highly unlikely a light aircraft, even with armour, would survive that when the ground was literally incinerated beneath them.
Assuming that the light really does crush everything, then Sayoko, Guilford and Male-Holy blade (Asahina, ain’t it?) are dead. Rest should still be alive. Next episode: Tamaki looks like he’s doing something (OR IS HE?), Lelouch gets pumped, we find out what’s in the locket and someone makes Kallen cry again :( Though that may just be because Nunnally is dead. Though, obviously until we see a body…maybe she’ll come back as the masked pilot for the mythical (and highly unlikely) Code Geass R3? :P
I’m running out of metaphorical similes to address your idiocy with. Do the world a favour, place a loaded gun between your teeth and paint the wall red.
That episode was full of ups and downs. Ups: YAY KALLEN’S BACK. Downs: Holy crap they actually killed Nunnally :O:O:O I quite enjoyed it, and it was nice to see they haven’t forgotten Anya. Who, by the way, looks crazy cute when she smiles (looks almost like C.C’s pink haired little sister. :D). It’s during the OP if anyone cares >_>
I liked how they reinforced Ougi’s uselessness, forcing that Original Black Knight guy to take over and start giving orders and addressing tactics. EP 17’s comment from Diethard about Ougi’s existence being ordinary, and thus special, only reinforces my view that Ougi’s just there to have people stay loyal. He, along with Tohdoh, are the ‘face’ of the Black Knights, really.
Though Suzaku did look like he was gonna die, everyone knew it wasn’t going to happen. The necessity for him to come back with a new Knightmare (I’ve nicknamed it Wancelot (Winged Lancelot, or Wankalot! Dual purpose!)) and the ‘Live/Survive’ Geass.
I find it interesting that they would mod the Guren SEITEN before modding the Galahad. You’d think the Knight of One would also get the most up to date and powerful equipment, no? Though this was likely a lack if logic for dramatic license as an anime, as opposed to a setup flaw.
Finally, it looks like the Gino+Kallen thing isn’t finished yet, they still have yet to fight which means Kallen has yet to smash the Tristan up. Looking forward to how Gino and Anya turn out. Anya+C.C. need more airtime :(

episode 18…whoa….just…whoa….i’m speechless…

…
Summary:
:D … D:
I am still in shock…
That bastard Schneizel! He probably wanted it to happen.
Kallen is a goddess. :3

Oh, by the way, did anyone see that they used “Mao, wait for me…at C’s world.” in the english dub of code geass?
Guilford is dead too…T_T
August 11th, 2008 at 7:10 am
Except, as far as we could tell, the World of C was just C.C.’s mind/memory. That’s silly, sounds like someone messed up. =/

It’s Sunrise damn it. By the way, the kill radius of the bomb is 1300 meters, so if Nunnally was far enough away she’d still be alive. By the way, remember this is Sunrise, also, a nuclear bomb shed’s light upon things many hundreds of miles away, so just being englufed in light doesn’t mean much (I think).
It’s confirmed that Marika, Sayoko, Guilford and (was it Asahina or Chiba, my sources are mixing me up, I wish I could watch the english sub already) are dead. Apparently David (believe it or not he was my favourite glaston knight) and that dude with blue hair are dead…uh…a bunch of others. Total death toll is unknown. I haven’t seen the preview so I dunno about Tamaki, and I think Kallen cries because of what the Freya did.
Agreed.
I need more Anya, she’s my favourite lolicon of the series (sorry Kaguya, Tianzi and Nunally), also I’m really wanting more of her background story! DAMN IT! EXPLAIN IT ALL!
Yeah Diethard can be pretty smart sometimes. So, I’m in total agreement.
Suzaku just messes things up so bad for everyone else, however I like how his character changes personalities. I mean everything he’s done so far has a (semi-)valid reason to it. Euphie dying (insane Suzaku), the live-on geass (when Euphie admits she loves him, when he flees from the Gawains hadron blastors when he first gets the geass-order to live on and when he launched the freya) it really seems like his character is being fucked around with the most (next to Lelouch). Though personally I love it when the writers fuck with the emotions of the characters (i.e. Doctor Who season finale woot! and Shakugan no Shana’s part where she gets her ass kicked by the Interpreter of Condolences because the writers decided to fuck with her emotions). I dunno why but it just makes anime (and British media) so much better.
Note that this is Lloyd we are talking about, we don’t know why he does things, he just does.
I doubt the existence of a hapy ending but if there is one then I want a LelouchxC.C. and a KallenxGino. Maybe Suzaku will die? Yay?
Yeah I didn’t like that ( I have been rooting for CorneliaxGuilford for a LONG time. He was one of my favourite bit-characters with a name.
By the way, the wrap this all up, I have officially watched all 49 episodes of Shakugan no Shana and the movie (three times) in 2 days! And that was going from episode one to s2 episode 24 straight! YEAH!

Okay, I jsut watched episode 18 twice and here’s my new thoughts of what happened.
Asahina, Kinoshita, Sayoko, Ms. Romeyer, Nunally, Guilford and various others died in the implosion of the freya. Look at the crater that was left behind. There was *nothing* left. Nunnaly was inside the building and the building is *gone*. Even Lelouch who was very far away almost died.
Basically, I’m gonan guess that there will be a sad ending, and that various more people will die in the next few episodes.
