Code Geass Favourite Characters Poll

[xris]

By request, it's time for a Code Geass Favourite Characters Poll! This poll is a multiple choice poll and while we won’t restrict you from voting for every character, please try to limit your choice to your top 3 or 4 picks if you can. If you like the entire cast equally, then so be it, but if you can narrow it down a bit, then that’s even better. If you like one character the most, then don’t feel the need to vote for anymore.

Please remember that once you make your vote you may not "come back" later to add or change your previous vote(s). So make sure you know all the characters you want to include in your vote before you click the "Vote Now" button.

And of course the vote is public, so your votes will be visible to all. :)

To help you put names to faces, Sonhex has created a who's who.

Well, the official on-line Code Geass Character Popularity Poll (http://character.biglobe.ne.jp/special/geass/camp01/form_tohyo.html) intermediate rankings so far (as of 2006/11/19) are as follows:

1. Lelouch
2. Karen
3. Suzaku

4th was C.C and 5th was Jeremiah (orange power ftw). Since these initial results C.C has apparently now dropped down to 5th (negative feedback to product placement?), but it doesn't say who is now 4th. lol :p

[Shiroth]

This is such a hard poll.. i just wanna vote for them all. For now.. i'm just gonna have to choose four of my fav's out of the lot.

Nanaly = I have one hell of a soft spot for her, so she'd probably end up being my fav' from the series. Her moe side is what stands out, as well as her caring nature that i just love.

Lelouch = Heh, everyones going to vote for him - there's no reason not to. :3

Cornelia = Her kick arse attitude wins for me. Also, her drive to defeat Zero can be a nice lil' fetish.

C.C. = Yet again, i'd be a fool not to chose her. She wins for just being herself.

It was hard to just choose four, but i'd like to say - if it was allowed, i'd choose them all. o/

[Dagger]

I voted for C.C. and Yuffie/Euphemia. I actually don't like Lelouch (Suzaku is probably my favorite out of the male characters, but none of them really thrill me). I would have voted for Shirley as well, since she's my third favorite female character, but I was trying to restrain myself.

[bergman]

I was the first one to vote but slow on posting but i think "Lelouch Lamperouge / Zero" is kinda intresting.

[Shiroth]

I do adore Suzaku's sense of justice, he also wins many points for bringing one hell of a smile to Nanaly's face in episode 06. :3

[White Manju Bun]

I voted for Lulu/Zero. I like his style and his characteristic that resemble Light from Death Note. Plus I cant wait to see him take down the Emporer!!

Interesting that even tho Lulu is in 1st right now with this poll, the vote is really spread out. Poor Suzuka tho XD Tight race also between Shirley and C.C. right now. It will be interesting to see how voting changes as the series moves forward.

[Cal-Reflector]

Leulouch: Because he is the Black Prince, can mind controll people, and will literally build himself a harem when he becomes Emperor.

C.C.: Because she pwns Leulouch is a tough-loving sort of way, models for Pizza Hut, and leads the pack in the race to become Leulouch's Queen.

Karen: Because she's mixed, has a double identity like Leulouch, have kissed (?) and have seen each other naked (while he has). Then again C.C. is sleeping with Leulouch so... *Is dragged away*

Nanaly: Because Leulouch has a hidden sister-complex and loves her more than all the girls and Suzaku combined.

Millay: Because she "interests" coincides with ours, coming with ideas to creat fanservicy situations. Also, in this imaginative mind of mine, when Leulouch becomes Emperor, he'll reward the Ashford family for their years of protection by raising them to prominence... by making Millay his queen. I would like to see this happen.

[EragonJeriel]

Lol pizza chan :D
Lelouch - dont he just pwns? Could be more popular if he turns a little more *black*, killing people instead of just asking them to forget this or that
Karen - hot?
C.C -cos she pwns lelouch ass hard
Edit: cool top 3, as expected!
---
hated:
suzaku suzaku and more suzaku
I hate his looks and kira wanna be attitude

[-KarumA-]

lelouch ftw!
good going with the name plate piccies image =D

[kazekiri]

Suzaku: Kira-complex or not, I like him. He knows the people he's serving are unjust and wants to change that. Plus the whole 'opposite approach yet similar goal' dynamic with Lelouch is interesting.

Karen: She's cute, tough and assertive and she knows how to pilot a Knightmare. The fact that she's gotten naked on camera already hasn't hurt. Plus her background is interesting and I hope it gets explored more. Easily my favorite female character.

Nanaly: I find her reactions to things she can't see really cute (especially the champagne scene) and she absolutely stole the ending of episode six. Plus she can tell that a cat has an injured leg just by hearing it walk.

Millay: Do I really need to explain this? Ok, her constant teasing of Shirley is priceless and her idea of fun school activities is even better. A welcome change from the usual student council president formula. Guts!

Didn't vote for Lelouch for only one reason: His fashion sense sucks. I know, he made the costume to be flamboyant but there's such a thing as going too far.

[Klashikari]

Lelouch : do i really have to comment this? XD
as said already, Lelouch simply owns : deep background, half way between a protagonist and "anti" hero with the least impression of exageration. and he is just too classy ^^

Suzaku : though he was like Kira of GS/GSD, he was a very interesting vision of the world, and he is rather rational idealist (pretty contradictory, right? XD). Also, his sense of justice is not that" fancy". this is the most important thing with him : though he aknowledge the worthlessness of britannia, he doesn't judge with only this kind of superficial judgement, etc. the only problem with his reasoning is the rather idealist manner to solve the matter, while it would be a bit too long and also a waste since he can be killed at any moment.

C.C. : Though in Chess, the King is the most important piece, the Queen is rather the powerhouse ^^. CC simply owns hard lelouch, and didn't show everything she can do yet.

Cornelia : we have a bad ass protagonist, now a ultimate bad ass antagonist. Cornelia is simply the "not dumb" antagonist expected so far for this kind of story. Hail to Cornelia !

[Sonhex]

So I voted for:

Lelouch/Zero: More for Zero because in his disguise he's totally theatrical and so over-the-top.

C.C: Who wouldn't love an undead green-haired, telepathic, pizza-loving chick with a penchant for cosplay?

Karen: Episode 3 (17:56 to 21:00)

Cornelia: Quite simply she's badass.

Jeremiah: I have great sympathy for poor Jeremiah because he's not guilty of anything at all and yet is getting punished for the phantom orange conspiracy. Ganbare orange-kun.

The Emperor: For the hair. And his seiyuu, Norio Wakamoto. This guy has the most incredible voice. Ever.

Arthur: Any cat that can pwn Lelouch deserves my vote!

(I know that's 7, sorry)

[Shiroth]

The Emperor: For the hair. And his seiyuu, Norio Wakamoto. This guy has the most incredible voice. Ever.
I have to agree with you there - he's got the all mighty powerful voice that works perfectly with that type of characters. Its worked in the past with shows like Tekkaman Blade, Demonbane, Dragonball Z, Soul Link, RG Veda.. okay, i'll shush now. ^^;;

[EragonJeriel]

Suzaku: Kira-complex or not, I like him. He knows the people he's serving are unjust and wants to change that. Plus the whole 'opposite approach yet similar goal' dynamic with Lelouch is interesting.

Karen: She's cute, tough and assertive and she knows how to pilot a Knightmare. The fact that she's gotten naked on camera already hasn't hurt. Plus her background is interesting and I hope it gets explored more. Easily my favorite female character.

Nanaly: I find her reactions to things she can't see really cute (especially the champagne scene) and she absolutely stole the ending of episode six. Plus she can tell that a cat has an injured leg just by hearing it walk.

Millay: Do I really need to explain this? Ok, her constant teasing of Shirley is priceless and her idea of fun school activities is even better. A welcome change from the usual student council president formula. Guts!

Didn't vote for Lelouch for only one reason: His fashion sense sucks. I know, he made the costume to be flamboyant but there's such a thing as going too far.

He didnt had a custom designer for the suit all right?!!? He figured he would made do with any as long as the mask is there. Upon rewatching episode 1 , realise i somewhat dislike shirley, she calls lelouch and almost got him killed... and she stopped karen and lelouchn from talking in the school garden, i bet it was intentional using the lesson as an excuse. (as it appears to her).
Oh and --All Hail King Arthur-- *the cat*
First for biting suzaku, good one! and secondly for making up a whole episode with the mask thingy.
Anyway, was the king in episode one when lelouch got the geass, the king of britainnia, i swear the hair looks very similiar

[Sonhex]

Exciting news friends. The tension rises in the official on-line Code Geass Character Popularity Poll (http://character.biglobe.ne.jp/special/geass/camp01/form_tohyo.html):

Lelouch retains the top spot (no surprises there), but Suzaku makes a surprise leap to second place. Everyone's favourite tomboy Karen drops one place after failing to capitalize her vote winning shower scene from episode 3.

C.C claws her way back up to 4th place rallied after suffering from negative pizza fallout from episode 6. Jeremiah continues to be plagued by the orange conspiracy and tumbles one spot to 5th. The biggest rise is for Nanaly, clearly our beloved crippled imouto-chan is illiciting the sympathy vote, and propels herself to 6th place. Shirley slides one place to 8th after everyone realised she looks better with her clothes on. Milly makes a spirited new entry at number 9 with Euphemia following closely at number 10. But the big question remains: just who the hell is voting for Lloyd?

Current rankings as of 2006/11/23 are:

1 Lelouch
2 Suzaku (^1)
3 Karen (v1)
4 C.C. (^1 )
5 Jeremiah (v1)

6 Nanaly (^2)
7 Lloyd (v1)
8 Shirley (v1)
9 Milly
10 Euphemia

[Deathkillz]

oh comeon its soo tempting to just vote for the whole main cast :heh: i think ill give it more time before i pick my top 5 otherwise it wont be fair :p

[W-General]

#1: Lelouch. I've just about had enough of Kira Yamato type Jesus characters. GO MACHIAVELLIAN MAIN CHARACTER!

#2: C.C. - the reason why Code Geass is Code GREAT ASS! Ohhhhhh the hotness.....!!!!!
Pizza Hut's new official mascot. How many pizza hut stamps until my C.C. hug pillow?

[McMilk]

1. Karen Stadtfeld - Partly because I'm a big Ami Koshimizu fan, and partly because she somewhat has the "Cagalli Nature"....I dunno, she just does. To me, at least.

2. Lelouch Lamperouge - I like his slight evil personality...unlike those heroic people who always say, "I MUST DO THIS! I WILL PROTECT EVERYONE!!"

And I hate Suzaku. He reminds me SO much of Syaoran from Tsubasa Chronicles...

[LCeh]

Interesting, I have the same problem with Suzaku. I don't like the naive hero type like Naruto or Renton from Eureka 7, but I didn't really have a problem with Syaoran.

And I don't think I want to vote yet, since not even half of the episodes are aired yet, but one thing for sure is I will be voting for C.C. :D

[Cereal]

C.C will win LULU !

[Darkside]

Lelouch is such a badass.

[Timeless Enigma]

I think there's are several good characters, but one of them really stands out for me.

She is Kallen Stadtfeld. One of the main reasons is her seiyuu Ami Koshimizu. She has great voice acting and I think she pulls off Kallen's character perfectly, from her demure Britannian character to her true nature, the feisty terrorist. I think she does both of these voices very well.

But Kallen also reminds me of a Fllay Allster from Gundam SEED (I may be one of her only fans). Actually, maybe it's just her two-facedness and her hair. I think Cecile Croomy also resembles Fllay (in appearance only). But you got this great-looking girl who can give someone like Jeremiah "Orange" Gottwald trouble in a mech. She also has great character potential. I hope her importance increases over the course of the show, I consider her the "heroine" of Code Geass

[antheonoileo]

I dun hate good characters (I like both Naruto and Syaoran) but I'm sick of Suzaku. His ends is good, his mean (peacefully and from inside) seem good too, but what he is doing in reality ? I dunno why he is still considered (by others and himself) good one when he still willing to be a solder killing people (It doesn't means that a solder is bad but being a solder here to protect what/whom? Plz count, how many people did he save and kill - not to mention that it is only god - the producer's will that he is not ordered to kill much more, like other nightmares). Back to ep1, he did save the woman (or with her child ?) but he is one of those who are responsible for the death of many others, not to mention that if Lulu didn't involve by threatening Clovis, many others would have been killed after his Lancelot's victory (though Suzaku then would still be considered innocent again as he hadn't directly kill them, lol)

Though some people may not like Kira Yamato, he is still more understandable than this Suzaku (at least, what he does is defending, but for Suzaku, it is attacking. See the difference ?)


Vote for Lulu and C.C. I really like others, but if then I'll have to vote for at least ten ^_^

[Ashlotte]

But the big question remains: just who the hell is voting for Lloyd?

*raises hand*

:heh:

And how can you not like lloyd...He just intrigues me I guess. I still havent gotten a real good feel for just what he thinks about whats going on along with what exactly his goals are.

I just cant help but feel theres more to him...Maybe not but we'll see. ;)

[Animeblue]

Lelouch for me

[W-General]

http://www.geass.jp/special_06.html
A result is out.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ORANGES??? Orange is #5


Suzaku is too high. Damn yaoi fangirls fujoshi

[Cal-Reflector]

Suzaku is too high. Damn yaoi fangirls fujoshi

Well, considering more than three-quarters of the Japanese fansites are dedicated to SuzaLulu, Suzaku scoring high is inevitable. Sad, maybe, but that's how it is. I'm surprised Suzaku isn't number two actually.

Karen's higher than CC is what surprises me. One steamy shower-scene from three months ago shouldn't give her that much mileage, and the nude-sleep scene should've come in too late to affect the outcome.

[cheesie]

Damn yaoi fangirls fujoshi

I don't know, I've taken a look at the yaoi fangirls (and guys) user pic gallery and they look pretty sizzling hot to me. XD

Well, considering more than three-quarters of the Japanese fansites are dedicated to SuzaLulu, Suzaku scoring high is inevitable. Sad, maybe, but that's how it is.

This reminds me of Iruka placing in the Top 5 in every single Naruto official popularity poll, all because Kakashi x Iruka is the most popular pairing in Japan. XD

Edit:

Well, considering more than three-quarters of the Japanese fansites are dedicated to SuzaLulu, Suzaku scoring high is inevitable

Number of Japanese fansites:

Lelouch x C.C: 38
Lelouch x Karen: 25
Lelouch x Nanaly: 16
Lelouch x Millay: 6
Lelouch x Suzaku: 573 :twitch:

Um, wow, I see what you mean. :bow:

[coldwarm]

Anyways... I regretted not voting for Arthur the cat! It is almost beating Euphemia, gogogo arthur.

[demon_god04]

I decided to limit myself to one male and one female character for this poll, mostly because so earily in the series I'd probly pick all the good looking female characters :p :heh:

Male : No question it has to be Lulu, love how his character is playing out so far and any guy who can still be badass having a nickname like Lulu is a plus in my book. :heh: I was tempted to vote for Suzaku because he makes for a nice foil for Lelouch. Although sometimes his naivete gets grating sometimes, especially when hes contradicting himself. Changing the system from the inside is an admirable goal but he said it himself, when you are part of an organization you must put the ideals of the organization before your own, especially when you are in the military.

Female : Kallen by a long shot for me, ignoring my inate obssession for redheads, I like the contradicting personalities she plays and the seiyuu does a good job of voicing both roles. None of the other girls have had that much exposure yet though Millay would be a second choice for me simply because of ep 6 :heh:

[Akuryou]

#1 ~ Lelouch: 2006 is the year of awesome main characters, like Lelouch and Kyon. Lelouch bears the barrier of something like "anti-hero", and strategists, badass strategists, are really cool. Even cooler with the power to control people. Like Kyon.

#2 ~ Cornelia Li Britannia: To fight from equal to equal a strategist, we need a rule-breaker. And she is awesome at that. Oh, yes.

#3 ~ C.C.: Mysterious, and sexy. Seems to be really smart, almost as smart as Lelouch it seems. Awesome main chracters need awesome supportive characters, don't they?


Runner ups would be Karen and Nanali, and perhaps Mr. Emperor.

[cheesie]

I respected C.C (was quite intrigued by her, really) until a) she turned into a Pizza Hut mascot b) it's becoming quite clear she's becoming more and more objectified. Fan-service much?

God, Sunrise, at least have the decency to treat her on the same level as other Sunrise anime girls, where even though they all have their share of eye candy, C.C shoving her groped ass forward, which all but spells out mindless pandering, is just too much in my book.

[evil|plushie]

Are we talking about the same C.C who threatened to shoot Lulu, and then later saved Lulu as well as managing to outwit him in a verbal battle? Oh yeah, that spells sex object right there....

[cheesie]

I didn't say she's a sex object, I said she, to me, is becoming objectified. Then again, when has that not been the case for other anime female characters? (I won't go into it here) C.C has great potential to shape up into a great character, she's snarky, anti-Belldandy, quick-witted. I liked how she's not stereotypical and all that (maybe she's a little too perfect, but anyway...) It's stuff like this that makes me unsure what the hell was Sunrise smoking on. (http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/4452/0720am1.jpg)

That, or perhaps I'm just too conservative. :eyespin:

[evil|plushie]

I'd call that sunrise advertising to the otakus. we all know they like fanservice.

[Ori]

I didn't realize this vote allows multi votes, oh well too late for me now.

I voted for CC b/c she is the only female on Lulu's side that is not being manipulated by Lulu in the show (minus in that fanservice picture, but I don't think that counts).

If I knew about the fact I can vote for more than one person I would also vote for Lulu and Cornelia Li Britannia too. Lulu because, well let's face it, he is pretty cool even if he is a manipulative jerk 90% of the time. And Cornelia because, she also outsmarted Lulu.

[Owaranai Destiny]

Pretty obvious who leads. :D

What's there not to like about Lelouch? He's probably one of the better protagonists so far, neither flat nor self-righteous. In fact, his purpose for his intentions made me ponder whether he was the real villain in this right instead, and so far he certainly hasn't showed the "ZOMG l33t piloting skills" shown for a main character of a Sunrise mecha series (Yes, I'm talking about Kira Yamato).

C.C is another unconventional character. She certainly differs greatly from all 'android girl' types that come out of that typical metal shell that houses them at the start. Spunky, yet able to retain a mysterious aura around her and not to mention a pizza lover. Looking cute certainly does help too. ;)

My last choice would be Cornelia so far. Surprising as it might be.

1) She looks hot. :p
2) She seemed more...human despite her earlier countenance. Despite having a hardened exterior, you can tell from recent episodes that she's actually somewhat reasonable in comparison to Clovis and soft in the inside when it comes to Euphemia. Not a typical character as well, for sure.

[Xamdou]

Lelouch Lamperouge / Zero :D

[Pakxenon]

1. Karen. Episode 3.
2. Lelouch. No questions asked.
3. C.C.. Pizza Hut supports the Rebellion!!

[atilim]

Lelouche for me, I liked how he used Nina to calculated what kind of power he would need to create a big enough landslide, or how he commands his men, predicting every move of his opponent.

[Naive]

My favorite character is Lelouch not so much because he's a brilliant tactician, but because he's such a drama queen. Meaning, his Zero character definitely has a flair for drama and takes himself way too seriously. I find it hilarious.

I voted for Kallen and Cornelia as well because Kallen is just a kickass character and the most well-developed one as well, episode 9. She reminds me of Cagalli Yula Athha from SEED in a lot of ways.

Cornelia just owns all. She can be quite a ruthless leader and yet has a sweet soft spot for Euphie. I hope she doesn't end up dying pretty soon but she might have to be sacrificed for Euphie to really assert her power. That will make it easier for a Lulu/Suzaku conflict.

Now that I think about it, I wish I had voted for Euphie as well, she's grown on me. Though she looks like Lacus, I find her to be a more interesting and troubled character. You can actually sympathize with her and see her struggle.

[Arika Yumemiya]

Voted for both Euphie and Suzaku~~~ <3

[fahlen]

I chose Karen simply because I consider her the "heroine" of this series.

[Nainara]

Lelouch makes Code Geass.

The blend of an unpredictible, morally grey, and disgustingly flamboyant protagonist is a refreshing breath of originality, especially for a mecha-oriented anime.

[DragoonKain3]

This is VERY hard for me, since I LOVE everyone from the show, even unpopular chars like Clovis, Nina, and Suzaku. I really hated to cut #10's to 6 (Euphie, Karen, Cornelia, Shirley, CC), but I had no choice since I resolved myself to only vote for 5 in every series...


5) Viletta - She's in because she gets my vote for the hawtest female in the series. Her in Zettai Ryouiki is just da bomb.

4&3) Cecile & Lloyd - These two are inseperable in my opinion, since they complement each other so well. Also, for some reason I have this urgent desire to 'heterosexualize' Yukito (of which Lloyd reminds me a lot of) from CCS, so that's another reason why I voted for them. XD

2) Milly - It's very hard to point out what I like about Milly so much. Well, she is eccentric, is competent yet shows her tender side from time to time. Though if I had to say, I think her greatest asset to her is mystery. Sure CC is mysterious as well, but CC is more 'fantasy' mysterious while Milly's mystery is down to earth. From 'why did she turn down her arranged marriage meeting', to 'who does she really like', out of all the girls she IMO feels the most 'real' despite her odd tastes.

Just hope she doesn't turn to another Shizuru though. ^^;


1) Lelouche - My favorite character in a series is not female, GASP! He's compared to Light from Death Note a lot (who is my fave character from that series), and with good reason. While he isn't ruthless as Light (yet?), he still would pretty much do anything to achieve whatever he wants to do, which I respect a lot.

[bond4154]

In the order of the list above...

Lelouch - Despite being outright embarrassing in some cases (the Zero stuff looks kinky, but completely awkward at times, and then some), Lelouch is actually a very interesting combination of man and child: Intelligent and capable, but, at the same time, proud and a sore loser. Despite a less-than-preferable name, as others have said, he makes the show run.

C.C. - What attracted me to C.C. at first was her absolutely snobbish and quite doors-closed attitude. Her "Boys get to sleep on the floor", "Good night, Lelouch" (just as Lelouch was asking her questions), and "If you don't want to answer, then keep your mouth shut" give her a fair amount of attitude and spunk that differentiates her from the other female characters.

Cornelia - Proud and arrogant, Cornelia comes off to me as one of the few female characters with a spine...then, again, most middle-aged female characters aren't supposed to have too much spotlight on their love-life. Despite being cruel at times, lines like "I don't like to take the credit of my subordinates" and "There's no reason for me to risk the lives of my men" take the cake.

Viletta - As opposed to Jeremiah, who eventually turned all funny and "O-O-O-Orange!?" after the Orange Scandal, Viletta remained ever so serious and cool-headed, essentially Jeremiah's voice of reason. Her complete loyalty to Jeremiah is something to admire too; she sticks to him, no matter how bad things come down. I like her voice-actor as well.

...And one that isn't on the list...

Guiford - Completely dedicated and loyal to Cornelia, Guiford is cool-headed and seems to watch over Cornelia like an overprotective brother. And the glasses kill. XD

[Kenji_Chaos]

all the way cc!!!
and lelouch because of his evil nice personality

[Blue_Mercy]

Lelouche- I think it's Lelouche's intelligence and realism that makes me enjoy his character so much. His mother was killed, Nanally was crippled, and his father abandoned him then tried to have them both killed. His hatred for Britannia runs deep and it shows in the episodes.

C.C.- how can you not love a character like C.C. Smart, sexy, and invincible. Her past also lets you pity her, while her present is a very strong willed character.

Karen- Her loyalty, piloting skills, sexiness, and the triangle between her, C.C. and Lelouche/Zero make her a great character.

[shadowlord_756]

Question: Will Sakuya be added now that ep 12 is almost out?
Anyways top choices:
1)Lelouch: just cuz he seems badass
2)CC:Pls give me a geass too!
3)Euphemia: Lacus reborn...
Possibly Sakuya cuz of a quote I saw on the forums
Sakuya: "A love letter?"
Zero: "From you?"
(I think that was right might be slight errors)

[Deathkillz]

well half way through the series so i guess ill pick my to 6 ~

1) C.C. ~ obvious pick ~ i just adore her bad ass attitude when at first i thought she would be one of those types that doesnt know any better (happens with most mysterious girls eg chi)

2) lulu ~ muhahaha! he is the king imo...ambitious and loves to walk on the wild side ;)

3) nanally...the cute, tragic imotou...also he "nyaaa~" is enough to melt anyone's heart =^_^=

4) Llyod ~ this guy is off his nut...but still i really like him :D his "funny/sarcastic" personality is really uplifting and he doesnt seem to get mad at all O.o

5) milly ~ sexy and smart...she over looks stuff with enthusiasm and you can never be sure what she has installed for lulu next :heh:

6) cecile ~ the sweet gentle mother figure to suzaku imo...not quick to anger but when she does...even Llyod shakes in fear :heh:

[Nvis]

The first!

Shirley

Because I like going against the odds. She definitely got my attention in ep.12
:naughty:

[AvianWing]

1. Lloyd. Need I say more? This guy actually has a good sense of humor.

2. CC. People already covered all the good points about her. In fact, it almost seems impossible to dislike her.

3. Lelouch. Thank God, no more pathetically naive hero. He is fairly consistent.

4. Cecile. Someone to rebuke Lloyd's jokes? Automatic A+

5. Jeremiah. Orange-kun?

Just for the record, as of this point, Nina has yet to receive a single vote.

[Skane]

It tickles me funny bone that Nina has no fans yet. :D Damn b**** deserves it. :heh:

Huzzah!

[antheonoileo]

Poor her. Noone like her yuri scene? :D

The thing I dun understand is that Suzaku got around 20% as the 4th favourite. Who will vote for him, plz say sth so that I wont think it is some kind of clone (just kidding :heh: )

[quina]

WHY DOES ORANGE LOSING TO SHIRLEY!!
Come on people Orange is an awesome character! Give him some loves~

Any way my ranking is the following

1. CC~~: She is an awesome character, the reason this anime is still living is because of her. It would be some ****** anime with copy of pink hair princess and kira without her.

2. Lulu: I kinda like his attitude and how he do things. Things may change according to how he react to Shirley next episode

3. ORANGE!!! GO ORANGE!!! and Sakuya.. I like her design

4. Nanali... hmm just noone else in mind...


Top Hate List:

1) Shirley - She need to just die... She is an anoying whinny girl since the first episode. Now she is bragging about losing her father and blaming it on Zero. She might be able to pull this out hitting Lulu soft spot

2) Susaku - His logic is beyond annoying... and he takes up half of this anime.. You can be annoying, but please can you stop wasting the screen time?

3) That whinny guy in the black knight unit: you know who I am talking about, I don't even bother remembering his name. HIS VOICE ACTOR MUST BE THE MOST ANNOYING VA EVER!

4) hmmm I hate Lacus, but I don't know about Yufie yet... Please don't becomes Lacus the 2nd..

[GhOsTeDgE]

If EP12 would've come earlier, I would have included Lloyd in my vote. I've liked his character from the beginning but I couldn't justify including him. But with his recent pwning of emokid(suzaku), I'm seriously regretting my decision.

Well, the official on-line Code Geass Character Popularity Poll (http://character.biglobe.ne.jp/special/geass/camp01/form_tohyo.html) intermediate rankings so far (as of 2006/11/19) are as follows:

1. Lelouch
2. Karen
3. Suzaku

4th was C.C and 5th was Jeremiah (orange power ftw). Since these initial results C.C has apparently now dropped down to 5th (negative feedback to product placement?), but it doesn't say who is now 4th. lol :p

Source: Code Geass official blog (http://geass.at.webry.info/200611/article_8.html)

Suzaku 3rd?? Insanity!! :p

Anyway, I voted these:

Lelouch Lamperouge / Zero: Although he has bad taste in terms of his Zero outfit, and he's a bit cold generally, he's a good main character.
C.C.: Interesting partner in crime (or justice I guess), still pretty mysterious. I like the Pizza-chan nickname. ;)
Karen Stadtfeld: Cute, deadly, ace pilot. What's not to like?
Lloyd Asplund: Wonderfully sarcastic, what can be better than someone putting Suzaku in his place.

Could have voted a few more, but decided to cut it down a bit. I left out Nanally (the somewhat tragic but nice sister), Euphemia and Cornelia (I like this sister combination, Cornelia's soft spot).

Aww no votes for Nina yet, how sad... NOT! :D

Apparently the vote is buggy, since they havn't implement IP check on it. A person with the same IP address can vote as many times as they want really. (I voted for CC 5 times.) No reason why Susaku fan or Kalen fan spam the vote... The web master need to implement it better next time..... THe viting result tells us nothing really..

[yondy]

well, there's no need for karen fans to spam that poll when she is currently no. 4 behind lacus, haruhi, and cagali in the latest newtype anime top female characters.


1. Lacus Clyne
2. Suzumiya Haruhi
3. Cagalli Yula Athna
4. Kallen Statdfeld


newtype scan (http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Donkey_CC/Scans/Feb%20Newtype%202007/1050.jpg)

[ani_d]

Wow, Karen is number 4. Hah awesome. ^__^ I can't believe Lacus is number one though. She annoys me -_-

Karen just appeals to me because she's down to earth, very much like Cagalli. I've never known Code Geass was this popular. I hope it doesn't get licensed soon.

[bond4154]

The funny thing is that so many people hate Lacus. I admit that making her a pop star seems really off-the-hook, but Lacus represents a good portion of soldiers (of course, that portion becomes smaller as the Valentine War progresses) who would rather not fight and just get it over with. IMO, Lacus plays the successful role, being the loudspeaker for the feelings of many soldiers who would rather not fight.

Still, I dislike the comparison of Euphemia to Lacus, because they are way too different (at the moment) for a good comparison to even be drawn. So, as I've said with Suzaku-Kira, anyone who makes an Euphemia-Lacus comparison with receive a mallet to the head, courtesy me. XD

[Pink-chan]

Lulu: Without him, no show :p Because of them I love Code Geass!

Arthur: He is the only one who can bite Suzaku :p

Speaking of NewType character monthly poll. Lulu did manage to take down Kira Yamato once. Let's see if he can take his position for the second time. I love them both by the way :heh:

[Plan 36]

It's sad that Viletta doesn't get much love here :(

[Skyfall]

She doesn't get much screentime either ;)

[npal]

Ah well, I couldn't come up with just 3 so,

1. Lelouch. I'm with him all the way, I'd be with him even if it were just a mean to piss off Suzaku and his insane sense of justice (be an idealist, don't be an idiot, there's a nice big gap inbetween).
2. C.C. Golden :love:
3. Karen. Same as above. I just love everything about them :D
4. Milly. Um... Well... I don't know, somehow I like her style at handling difficult issues with tact.
5. Honorary Vote to Nina, for her excellent performance in ep 12. :heh: Didn't see that coming :p I don't think I'll be so surprised again :heh: (wow, I'm the first and only to vote for her, I feel so proud :D Defend Yuri rights! Make desk corners better!

[Deathkillz]

^ LOL well just shows that everyone gets some love at least ;) but as much as yuri doesnt bother me nina stepped over the line O.o

[npal]

Well, I'm not too much of a yuri lover, but I actually rewinded to see if I really DID that :p I saw that 2 or 3 times to completely register what happened :p Nina knows her stuff :love: It's actually one of the few solo yuri scene I considered ultra sexy on first watch [after the initial "did I really see that" shock :p

[LilleNisse]

It's sad that Viletta doesn't get much love here :(

I feel your sadness :(
She's my number one favorit in the show.
I just think she's to cute and good looking :heh: . And the voice, sooo lovely.
Kindof into her attitud aswell.
Just waiting and hoping for more screentime with her.

My number two is Karen, well.. She's cute and I just love her style.

Im a bad guy, I pick my favorites deppending on there looks :upset:
But then again, Im happy with the way I am! :naughty:

[erlia91]

Hey, I'm new here.

I chose Lelouch. ^^ well, I think he's cool and has charisma. I like Suzaku too. He's really different from Lelouch but I think he's great too. ^^

[npal]

Hurray for Lulu :D :bow:
And good job for the girls, too :D

[Arimfe]

Shuffle Memories(a recap series:rolleyes:) ranking 6 places above Death Note just proves that those who voted have sucky tastes:heh:

[npal]

That actually happened??? :twitch:

Well at least Geass has very good rankings and Haruhi is still high on the poll, as always.

[Deathkillz]

Shuffle Memories(a recap series:rolleyes:) ranking 6 places above Death Note just proves that those who voted have sucky tastes:heh:
i loled :heh:
CC should be smashing lacus down any moment now :p *waves flag* i swear its all due to pizza hut's secret police :heh:

[Arimfe]

That actually happened??? :twitch:Well, yes:heh:
Unless that scan is a fake:p

just proves that those who voted have sucky tastesOkay I take that back.
At least...those who who voted Shuffle Memories has sucky tastes:heh:
I mean, for cripes sake, a recap series, it's been recaps for all episodes so far:eyespin:

[Skyfall]

Shuffle Memories(a recap series:rolleyes:) ranking 6 places above Death Note just proves that those who voted have sucky tastes:heh:

Erm... LOL ? Exactly what are those people thinking :) ...Kinda hard to swallow this piece of information. *insert WTF face here*


CC should be smashing lacus down any moment now *waves flag*


It would be about time some one does :heh:

[bigdave]

NOooo!!!!!!! I chose the wrong character!!!!!! T____T

this suks i totally voted for the wrong person.

[Vallen Chaos Valiant]

NOooo!!!!!!! I chose the wrong character!!!!!! T____T

this suks i totally voted for the wrong person.

Not a Cecile fan I gather?

Don't tell me... You want to vote CC, but you got confused by Cecile's initials, right?:p

(Unless you had slippery fingers and wanted to vote Cornelia or, gasp, Lloyd instead?:p )

[m-san]

1. Lulu
2. CC
3. Lloyd

Definitely the most interesting characters, to say the least, in the entire series.

Lulu, well, he's the main character and of course he was made to be liked by all. :D He definitely isn't the typical protagonist. Dark, cunning, and extremely talented. How can you NOT love Lulu? <3

CC is quite the mysterious character. I'd love to see more CC and CC-related stuff as the series progresses.

Lloyd, while a minor character, is also interesting to me. He's sorta like Lulu in some sense.

[kira-sama]

i don't know why many people dislike suzaku but i like him
so my vote are
1.suzaku
2.lelouch
3.Kallen
4.C.C
5.Cornelia

the characters that i dislike
1.euphemia
2.shirley

[niwasatou]

I voted Nina...
:heh:

[npal]

Oh good, I'm not alone :D

[niwasatou]

Gimme the table yuri and I'm sold. :D

[Mephisto2k]

lelouch is my choice. If he would be a little less rightenous he would be a perfect yamagi light (death note) dublicate.
I hate characters like Suzaku because they follow hollow morals blindly like a stupid blinded knight. At least he has got some kinda dark past to make him a little bit more spicy.

[Sinestra]

Mistake please delete

[Juvyniled]

Voted for
Suzaku - He's been losing a lot of points for me, but I still prefer his character over Lelouch's. Lelouch, although great and charismatic, is simply way too manipulative and destructive for me. The only real problem I have with Suzaku are his words. It just defies his nature which causes him to look like a real jerk.

C.C. - I simply adore her character. She's free spirited and playful, while being very dominant. Yet, I also had trouble accepting her character as well. Until they explain the reason why she abandoned Mao, I will continue to have mixed feelings about her overall.

*On a side note, Lacus on top of the charts is seriously disturbing. While she is very domineering... anyone who goes into SEED mode after making a huge speech is just BLAH.

[Melodymix]

Karen for me!

[guiltygearxt]

Dear God, Where Is Mao???

even Hes Dead Hes Still A Character!!!

[Juvyniled]

Dear God, Where Is Mao???

Uh.... is there anything to really like about Mao? Well I suppose if you like the type that fall into dementia and are seriously twisted in terms of torturing people...

[guiltygearxt]

Uh.... is there anything to really like about Mao? Well I suppose if you like the type that fall into dementia and are seriously twisted in terms of torturing people...

still better than some of the evil guys up there aka emperor and Suzaku who keeps lying 2 and believing in himself

besides, Mao is cute when he claps

[Juvyniled]

besides, Mao is cute when he claps
:confused:

Well, I guess there are all kinds of people....

Suzaku might be too righteous, but he's working towards a goal. MAO is evil. The emperor is just power hungry.

[Nightengale]

The sheer lack of Clovis love saddens me.

Maybe people would love him more if he turns out to be a pedo sis-con who liked Nunnaly, and the reason he keeps challenging Lelouch to chess is so that Nunnally will call him just onii-sama as well.

[Deathkillz]

^ haha...great now we have another pedo but hjes 6 ft under already XD
well i guess clovis was just a throw away character :< but even if he did stay for a bit longer at the end of the day he would have been killed...by someone like Schneizel for example ~

[lyric]

Lelouch Lamperouge
actually, i appreciate him due to the voice cast...
anyway, his qualities still attracts me, gets stuck in my mind

[monkymeet]

1. Lloyd-sama XD He's so funny and cute.
2. Karen <3
3. Diethard, because he's a smart one too

[QBnoYouko]

C.C. all the way! ^o^

BTW, riddle me this. Who knows why the snow is white? :heh: (rhetorical question)

[Cotton Parasol]

Poor Rivalz, even Nina seems to be beating him.

[zalem]

No Laksharta love? :( I suppose cause she only came later on and it's too late to add her.

Anyway, voted for Lelouch of course. He's the most fascinating character in the whole series. Though I do admit I like alot of characters in this anime. Still it's Lulu that really makes this series what it is. :)

[Kaioshin Sama]

Shoot I didn't realize this was a multiple poll and only voted for Nunally

I'll add a second place list for:

Clovis (Nobuo Tobita, Kamille Bidan, Vayne Cardas Solidor)
Lelouch
Lloyd
C.C
Karen
The Emperor (Norio Wakamoto)
Toudou

I really wish there was some way to go back and edit the poll to include them. If anyone tries to deny the fact that I voted for these characters as well I will be most upset.

[m-san]

No Laksharta love? :( I suppose cause she only came later on and it's too late to add her.
Yeah, too bad she came on in a tad too late. Maybe we should make a new poll?

I LOVE LAKSHARTA! I voted for Lloyd, but when she was introduced, I got to love her more and, consequently, I love Lloyd less. I especially disliked him when he was all "I was supposed to finish that" referring to the Hadron cannon on Gawain [which Laksharta finished XD]. Her name doesn't sound Brittanian OR Japanese, so I wonder what her intentions are for joining the Order. She's quite the intriguing character, but in a different way. Compare CC-intriguing and Laksharta-intriguing: it's completely different.

Lloyd used to be this "intriguing genius" that I loved, but when Schneizel was introduced and we were shown how such a subordinate he was, it disappointed me. Not to mention I hate Schneizel. DX

Ok, let me take this time to explain why I didn't vote for the others.

Suzaku - Erm, I hate how he resembles Syaoran [from TRC] so much x_x He's also the not-so-special type of character; his character is quite typical. Not very interesting.

Karen - Actually, I would've voted for her, had I voted on this poll before episode 19 [and Picture Book 2/Episode 3.25 XD;;;]. She's such a likable character. I guess I thought there wasn't much to her before. But now... I absolutely LOVE how she's devoted to Zero. And it's kinda funny when she almost blows her cover when she's in student-mode XD Although I have a bad feeling she will die in Suzaku's hands, after the whole "LIVE!"/"SURVIVE!" Geass command Lulu gave to Suzaku and after seeing how dedicated she is to defeating Suzaku in combat. *sigh* I'd probably cry if this theory of mine comes true... :'(

Nunally - Well, there really isn't much to her, other than she's the reason Lulu fights against Brittania - the whole "a world for Nunally" thing.

Shirley - The whole Mao incident with Shirley made me cry, honestly. But it wasn't enough for me to like her in the same level as I love, say Lulu or CC or Laksharta. It's quite interesting how she might contribute to the storyline in the near future, though, after re-discovering Lulu's secret identity.

Milly - I actually like her! She gives me the occasional laughs in this quite serious series. I'm not sure how her marriage to Lloyd will contribute to the storyline, though.

Cornelia - I'm not sure I'm buying the whole "investigating on Marianne's death" story of Euphie, but if it's true, well, what about Clovis fessing up to Geass?

Euphie - She always makes me feel like screaming whenever she becomes impulsive and all. STUPID!!! IDIOT!!! Grrrr...

Schneizel - I just HATE him! He's so... evil! He makes Lulu look puny. I wonder what'll happen if they meet... Oooh... Especially with Nunally's "only Schneizel could beat you, onii-sama" sort of *sign*. Ooh...

Everyone else - Probably because there isn't much to them. Except for Jeremiah. He's just plain nuts XD

and CC 4th place? IMPOSSIBLE~ she should be first lol

[Juvyniled]

I don't know if C.C. should be first, but I'd prefer to see her above the likes of Kallen. :eyebrow:

[aohige]

huh, the result is out?? I havn't seen it on the official web though?

There's a link (http://geass.at.webry.info/200703/article_7.html) right on the first page. :heh:

[keriko]

Hmm let me see, well my picks in order would be:

Cornelia: There's something about her that's very complex. She's seen as 'the witch of britannia' and cold but in reality she fights hard for her 'fallen' siblings as a tribute to them and also she idolized Marianne so something tells me she wants to be like her. She's strong but she can be gentle as she's shown with euphie. Also guilford and dalton have shown extreme loyalty to her, even worrying about her in the battlefield more than a normal soldier would. And I doubt someone cruel and heartless would inspire such loyalty. I dunno there's something about her that just screams look beyond the exterior:D

Lloyd: He's crazy lol. End of. He just makes every scene so funny. But then again he seems to be one of those characters that should not be taken lightly;)

Guilford: Bishie with glasses. Nuff said lol.

Euphie: While she annoys me with her naievty, she's very kind as she's shown with nina and anyone else she interacts with. I guess she grew on me:)

[shiro83]

I voted C.C.
Nothing beats pizza... :D

[sx3]

i voted zero, and some other peopel that i forget, honestly i dont erally like suzaku's character at all, i find him very annoying for some reason and just yeah.. i hope he dies :heh:

[Zaric_Zhakaron]

3 favorite characters in Code Geass.

First and foremost would be Lelouch. He reminds me of Light from Death Note. He seems a bit maniacal at times, but that just adds to his charm. I enjoy stories from the antagonist's prospective. Hopefully he can get shed all of that naivety, stupid good intentions and do what must be done. By far the most interesting of the characters I think because he has great potential to be a great anti-hero if not villain main character.

Second up is Lloyd. The eccentric, whimsical, and almost godlike scientists have always been a personal favorite for character type. Hojo from final fantasy 7, Seta from Love Hina, and to a lesser extent Mujo from Scryed all carry this one element. In sort, they are cool.

And finally, Diethard. Oh what a great character he is; he's so excited about what Zero is going to do next, so ready to help him achieve his goals. Ready? Hell of a lot more ready than Lelouch is! Lelouch, learn from Diethard please, stuff those puny emotions down for a sec and make the rebellion a reality.

[mikeabundo]

One of the best sexual experiences I've ever had was with a girl who resembles Viletta. That earns her my vote.

2. Karen (Kallen?)- *drools*
3. C.C-Funny bugger
4. Arthur-You gotta love cats

[AthenAltena]

1. Lelouch, because he's a very complicated character
2. CC ditto
3. Karen because I like her attitude

[G0d_sl4yer]

For me:

1. Zero : absolut choice:mad:
2.Kallen : she is so layal to Zero, and nice body;)
3.Kaguya: maybe because she's loly:p
4.C.C: MOE silent/mysterious type:rolleyes:

[GeassHellSystem]

Lelouch FTW! hes deliciously evil :D

[AgnesLee]

hehe...I agree with the result,Lelouch x C.C....

[Black Eye]

my votes are
1- karen/kallen ( likes her attitude also favorite character)
2- Lelouch/zero (has a great charater and seconed favorite character)
3- C.C (who cant like her)
4- Jeremiah (dont know why i like him .......)

[kenjiharima]

Karen and C.C. rock my house, just finished the 1st season, now starting 2nd.

Just wanna rant this out of my brain...since code geass is a semi-ripp off of gundam characters Karen kinda makes me think if ever Domon(G Gundam) and Allenby where to have a daughter she would be it. :heh:

[Kazu]

I voted for lelouch he kicks ****
C.C. is cool too
Lloyd IDK maybe because of the way he talks

[Umi]

I love Lulu.

All of my friends who've seen this show don't like him so much though.

I guess it's kind of like Death Note...even though the protagonist is killing people left and right, you can't help but cheer him on. @w@;;

[Flame-X]

lulu ftw
he just kicks arse!

[Meatrose]

Voting and bumping this thread due to the recent request for a thread like this. And since episodes 24 and 25 have aired, people might have changed their opinion concerning certain characters.

Anyhow, my top 3 of CG-characters:

#1 Lelouch/Zero
#2 Karen
#3 C.C.

Only voted for Lelouch/Zero and Karen though, since they are, by far, the most important characters in the show to me.

Perhaps character-related discussions should be focused to this thread here-on, since they're basically taking over other topics. ^^

[JagdPanther]

I surprised not more people said Cecile. I think she's really cool. ^_^

I voted for C.C., Cornelia, Cecile, Viletta, Euphie, and Arthur.

[Echoes]

Seems my views are pretty standard, I voted for Lelouch and C.C.
They're the character I believe make the show interesting and worth watching, and their personalities both seem to be in that gray area we all love so much, as opposed to idealistic mindsets such as those of Suzaku.

[Jechtsphere]

Lelouch/Zero
Karen
C.C.
Nunally cause she's really cute.

Lloyd is funny.

Shirley remind me Orihime from Bleach...
Milly reminds me of Matsumoto from bleach

mostly their looks o.O

[Forever]

Just went to vote for:

1. lelouch
2. C.C
3. Karen
4. Euphemia
5. The Emperor

[ElecNinja]

Lulu, C.C, Kallen, Nunully, Milly, Lloyd, Toudou, and the Emperor for me.

For the Emperor, because him laughing was funny in the 22nd episode.
And the rest are just cool.

[Shadow Miko]

I like...no I love Cornelia. She's the same as Lelouch, except without the radical actions (until the end). She cared for her sister so dearly and then what else could she do? I felt really bad for her. :(

[Shanna]

Lelouch, C.C, Kallen, Millay and Diethard. ^_^

[Pistbag]

I voted for lulu, C.C, Llyod, karen, and damn I forgot Diethard.

[hirahira]

I voted for Arthur!!! He really is the best character! No one can beat him! And he scratches Suzaku! Arthur is the best!

I also love C.C because she loves pizza just like me

[DragoonKain3]

I went with 6 picks, which I don't think is unfair as it only constitutes 1/4 of the total number of characters...
6) Suzaku - For actually sticking by his ideals from beginning to the end. And people, no, he isn't a hypocrite. Those who say he is should re-read the actual definition of the word....

5) Viletta - The hottest character in the show, bar none. Not to mention she's a true bonifide Yandere.

4) Shirley Fenette - Half the drama of the show was based on if she's going to regain her memories, and what she'll do if that was the case. And she's half psycho by the end of the first season, so thats moe points for me.

3) Euphie - Let's get this out of the way... Osana-najimi moe! While useless throughout most of the show, at the very least she knows it and tries to improve upon it. Sprinkle on her last moments with a gun...

2) Lulu - Without him, the show is nothing as it is him who drives the plot. The subtitle isn't 'Lelouche of the Rebellion' for nothing...

1) Milly Ashford - Interesting, quirky, smart, student council prez, and pragmatic. Lulu, open your eyes, dammit!

[Adam E]

I try to just pick a male and a female in these types of polls, as voting for six characters can really skew results. That said:

Lelouch - He's my favorite character in the series by far. Complicated, a bit evil, human motives, crazy, intelligent, and it's great to see a main character that sucks in a mech in a mech anime. Simply put, I find him more entertaining than anyone else in the series.

Kallen - I seem to have a thing for redheads in anime, plus I like her voice actress. I liked what I saw of her character when it was developed, although I thought she could have used more screentime. Guess I'll have to wait for season two.

[Terrestrial Dream]

Personally Toudou is my favorite character. I just like him for what he is, fighting to liberate his country I could really respect the men. I also do like C.C and Lelouch, because C.C is very interesting character and Lelouch, like Toudou I like what he fights for.

[She-Chan]

I like many characters as Lelouch because he is cool sexy guy and C.C because she is mysterious and interesting and also Kallen because she is loyal somehow to zero(she acaully loves him).

[Chinomi]

I'd vote for Guilford but he's not an option ;-;!

[xFreedoMx]

1. Lelouche - Because hes who I find to be teh most entertaining person to watch in the anime about how he thinks and his motives
2. Kallen - Well, i find her motivation to fight one of the most real (aside from toudou an co.) and i like her more than most chars, and i too believe she should get more screen time

[Zahane]

Lelouch ftw, he's much like Raito but with freedom to laugh maniacally more often + gets some nice chicks (C.C. [my second vote btw], Karen and... Kaguya :D)
Ya, and C.C. cause she's one cool evil biatch :3

[patnam]

Lelouch ftw, he's much like Raito but with freedom to laugh maniacally more often + gets some nice chicks (C.C. [my second vote btw], Karen and... Kaguya :D)
Ya, and C.C. cause she's one cool evil biatch :3

Lelouch is a warlord while Raito is a god......

[cool_girl]

I voted:
1) Lelouch - of course, most interesting character with intellegence and attitude...i like this kind of characters
2) Karen - i like her fighting spirit and good intentions. After Lelouch my second favourite.

[Grimkill7]

What no Mao??

[WhiteWings]

Poor Suzaku is doing abysmally for a main character. I disagree with his idealogy but poor guy.

[digi.amuro]

Ok, so I've only watched 4 episodes of CG, but I can already see that Lelouch is gonna be my favorite character. The way he thinks and they way he acts depending on the situations. It was so awesome when he revealed himself to the Britannian army b4 saving Suzaku. He's got that confidence in his abilities and the Geass is no joke either, tho I have to say that I lawl'd the first time that his jedi mind trick didnt work, after using it on Kallen already.

I have to say I also think Suzaku was a pretty cool character also. I havent seen what happens after he leaves Zero, but that he'd go back and stand trial, knowing that the government was against him and seeing his own beliefs firmly rooted in him was pretty interesting to watch for me. he's got nothing on Lelouch tho, not yet anyways.

[The Chaos]

lulu & C.C my favourite from ep 1

[Leon_Lelouch]

Lelouch Lamperouge Vie Brittania is the best....
I like C.C and Kallen too....
and the last one I will vote is Suzaku....
I really hate him

[EternalDragonWarrior]

Lelouch and C.C for me, they're the pair that helped make the series that much more enjoyable for me. I like how Lelouch is kind of an anti-hero (reminiscent of Death Note) but he isn't "perfect" either; and C.C is actually useful unlike some female assistant characters *coughmisacough*

[serenade_beta]

Lelouch- Coolest male protagonist ever
C.C.- Awesome, in many ways
Nunnally- Lelouch's reason for becoming so awesome; her personality; "nyah~"
Lloyd- For comedy sections; pudding

[digi.amuro]

Ok, since finishing the first season, I've changed my mind about Suzaku. He's still ok, but he's off the fav character list, cuz he became boring to me, besides his psychotic fits. He's only fun acting as Lelouch's polar opposite and being the tragic, tormented hero-guy. I do like Suzaku-vengence mode tho (i always seem to like the character who's lost it over some girl)

Lelouch is still ultraleet and Kallen/CC tie for fav female character. I also find that I'm strangely into the little jap. girl who calls herself the goddess of victory. I think its cute how she tried to claim Zero as her future husband.

[RonaldC]

Lelouch for being an antihero like Light from Death Note

[Geass]

Lelouch, for being Lelouch.

[Sheik]

Lelouch, for being Lelouch.

Lol, that's quite a good reason. It is logical to like him because of his charisma and sense of dramatization. I like his ability to play chess with human lives.
Nevertheless, he remains human and tormented. These two aspects are interesting.

Beyond this, my favourite character remains CC by far because I love her design and character. A mysterious girl, who do not know what to do exactly, fears the humans because of her past. Time did not affect her but she seems to think that life is boring. Fortunately, she has Lelouche to understand her.;)

The orange guy is funny too. This blend of anger, frustration and killing instinct id a goog cocktail.:p

[Darksage12]

Mao isn't there. :eyebrow: Strange.

Oh well; I voted:
1) Clovis. [for reminding me of Zelos, from ToS]
2) Lloyd. [for being an actually good comic relief]
3) Lelouch. [for not being a standard emotional/overpowered main character]
4) Karen. [for "personal" reasons]
5) Millay. [hooray for the student council president and her weird hobbies ^__^]

I would have putten Mao on number three and Lelouch on four, Karen on five and Millay on six; however, Mao can't be chosen for some reason.

[Cal-Reflector]

An empirical study based on observations and production staff comments conducted by a gentleman over the subject of "Comparative bust sizes and rankings of all female characters in Code Geass." One would be surprised how well lady Marianne places.


http://twodimension.blog59.fc2.com/blog-entry-522.html

Trans: Millay > Marianne > Inoue > Karen > Cornelia > Viletta > Cecil > Chiba > Rakshata > Euphemia > Shirley > C.C. > Sayoko > Nina > Nunnally > Kaguya.

Milly is a dark horse indeed...

[slash502]

suzaku is so hopeless it isnt funny, he is the only one in the anime that does not know wat hes doing, he has no clear intentions/directions/method/.

i mean wth, my country is invaded by another country and i would never forgive someone like suzaku. suzaku u loser, get a clue!

[foreverdissevered]

Lelouch Lamperouge Vie Brittania is the best....
I like C.C and Kallen too....
and the last one I will vote is Suzaku....
I really hate him

Agreed, Suzaku really gets on my nerves. His unexplainable logic

[She-Chan]

I also think that Suzaku is trying to be so perfect, I don't like people who are like this.

[She-Chan]

I like all the characters indeed.

[Leon_Lelouch]

Lelouch = for being so cool!!! A bit evil, etc....

[Cal-Reflector]

A discovery today partly explained why I liked Milly so much: Her voice actress, Ohara Sayaka, was also:

1) Scrapped Princess: Raquel Cassull, the heroine's older sister. Similar character personalities and appearance (A+).

2)School Rumble: Tae Anegasaki, the sexy school nurse. Similar character personalities and appearance.

3)Emma: Grace Jones: William's older sister. Are we being type-casted yet?

4)Honey and Clover: Rika Harada. Another older woman with the killer pheromones, and one half of my OTP for that series.

5)Yuko from Tsubasa Chronicle and XXXholic. Basically, Milly with magic and drinking problems.

Invariably, the leading roles she takes on embody the following traits: The sensible/mature/grownup of the bunch, the attractive older woman, the elder sister, the fun-loving/prankster/teaser upbeat one. The exception to this pattern is Rika, from Hachikuro.

Just another reason for people to like Milly.

[RonaldC]

After watching the series again, I like CC better than the others this time

[symbiotes_021]

Lelouch - for being new kind of main character/hero

[Spectacular_Insanity]

1. Lelouch. I love his anti-hero persona. he arrogance is all done in a tasteful manner, and he a frigging genius.

2. Karen. I dunno, I just love her character, and her dedication to a higher purpose and her dream. I also like how she admires and is totally dedicated to Zero, even though she doesn't know who he actually is.

3. Toudou. I dunno. I guess because he's cool.

And I too hate Suzaku. A LOT. I swear, during his knighthood ceremony, I wanted to throw up. Seriously, his personaily is so borderline Sasuke-emo (not even including his misguided "justice") that it makes me want to strangle him... or shoot him. Any method that results in him dead is fine with me. Me, Suzaku, and a shotgun. 'Nuff said.

[Blue_Mercy]

Me, Suzaku, and a shotgun. 'Nuff said.

Alot of people feel that way including myself.

[EhrinUCHI]

Lelouch Lamperouge/Zero FTW!!!!
I also like C.C, Nunally and Lloyd

[Haru~]

1. Lelouch--- after Kira/Light, a new kind of antihero character emerges...
2.C.C.- her search for little happiness of her own..
3. Karen and shirley- Torn between Zero and Lelouch

And Suzaku... I don't like him in the first place.... I don't know why but it feels like he's not true to himself... he's lying to himself... Putting all his ideals but to no avail..
what I don't like is one who's uncool who's trying to be cool...

[X10A_Freedom]

Only voted for Kallen. I find her to be an interesting character. Her fake personality at the school ended up in some hilarious moments as well.

Lelouche is very well portrayed as smart, yet imperfect. I found him to be cool, but not "likeable" as such.

As for Suzaku...did they throw him in just so that Sunrise can do what they do best - break friendships? Very Seed/Mai franchise-esque!

[takisa]

I vote for:

Lelouch Lamperouge / Zero
C.C.
Lloyd Asplund

[rath-vermouth]

I voted for Cornelia, Cecile, Villetta, C.C and Milly. Girl Power!! LOL

Hmmm... did I vote for Lelouch? Can't remember lol

[UchihaTaijiya]

I voted for:

Lelouch - I like the conflict within his character, and how he appears both kind and cruel. He's driven and intelligent, and really pulls me in. I like his relationships and mannerisms. Also love his voice actor xD

CC - I like her as much as Lelouch. The mystery around her is interesting, but even more so I like her personality. Her and Lelouch have excellent chemistry, though I'm not inclined to call it romantic. Anyway, CC demonstrates a level of kindness and cruelty that reminds me of Lelouch, and I like it. xD She's also amazingly cute.

Euphie - Her fate was really sad, and I found her appealing in that she was kind, impulsive, and strong. The fact that she could do little drove her to try and change the situation... V.V I just really liked her.

Cornelia - Her and Euphie <3 Cornelia is intelligent, strong, and capable. I love her character design and presence. She's very cool and I hope she survives.

Shirley - I like her because of her relationship with Lelouch and what unfolded between them. It really drew me in, and I loved how kind Lelouch was with her. Besides that, she's cute and good-natured, and I like her voice actress (the same one for Meyrin from GSD and Rukia from Bleach, two characters I really like).

[Sneddon]

its gotta be Lulu/Zero and Kallen..big fan of them both :D

[Rin_Tohsaka]

i am a fan of c.c. because of her seiyuu yukana

[Razziell22]

Lelouch/Zero
C.C
Lloyd Asplund

[Ichy]

I voted for Euphie because her Fate was made of EPIC WIN! Also I loved her good natured personality (and her long beautiful hair) a lot :D

Second vote goes for Cornelia. Great Character, great Design... too bad her Knightmare sucked :(


and where is my Kaguya Option? ;_;

[C.C.]

My votes are for:

- Lelouch (I think that he's absolutely the best male character ever <3)
- C.C. (I adore her!!! *-*)
- Shirley (Kyaaaaaa!!! I think she's one of the best, I love her character ^__^)

[dom33]

So I voted for:

Lelouch/Zero: More for Zero because in his disguise he's totally theatrical and so over-the-top.

C.C: Who wouldn't love an undead green-haired, telepathic, pizza-loving chick with a penchant for cosplay?

Karen: Episode 3 (17:56 to 21:00)

Arthur: Any cat that can pwn Lelouch deserves my vote!



i agree with all of that.

as for me

Lelouch/Zero: do I really need to say anything?

C.C: see above.

Karen: again.

Lloyd: and again.

Arthur: and again.

[bbduece]

wow C.C. is getting close to the all-mighty Lelouch.....

[ch0c0b0fr34k]

Yay, I added +0.01 for CC! 16% to go!!!!

CC died so many times.....normally I think I would be laughing, but the ways she died...><.

P.S.: How can you live after having your head chopped off?

[Marioshinobi]

P.S.: How can you live after having your head chopped off?

You grow another one.

XD

[DukeTheGold]

I facepalm at the lack of a Schneizel El Britannia option. I found his characteristics...intriguing. Remaining puzzled that I am at this: whether Schneizel is truly a force of kindness or a devious mastermind unlike Lelouch?

Vote 1: Lelouch Vi Britannia. An anti-hero with attractive personalities and histories to be sympathized. Unlike his DeathNote counterpart Light Yagami, Lelouch is a man who is truly deserving of admiration. Driven by a haunting tragic past and fueled by the naive dream of a happier world, Lelouch strives to achieve his goals, no matter how bloody the means. Sufficient to say, I loved how his character develops over time as various events influence him as such. His malevolence side is simply a sad byproduct of warfare. Lelouch is a genius without peer, matching toward his goals along a bloody road for the sake of naive dreams. He cared for his friends, he cared for consequences of his deeds and he suffered from the torments of his own actions. He is perhaps my favorite character of all time for the sake of his complexity in character.

Vote 2: C.C. A mysterious woman with a mysterious past. Few details were shown, however they were sufficient to weave a tragic tale. Seemly a simply cold person who has seen too much suffering for a lifetime, she is in fact but a girl with longings for warmness inside. Her intricate characteristics intrigue me. Her pizza hut theme is plain hilarious. I like her!

Vote 3: Kallen. Little to say here. I voted for her due to her sheer determination and sense of blind loyalty. She was willing to sacrifice her dignity and life in order to lay down a pathway of a brighter future for Japan. I think she deserves a vote here.

Vote 4: Nunally Lamperouge. Her kindness is heartwarming. Her determination resembles her brother's. She is perhaps the sole reason that Lelouch has not fallen for the dark side(no starwar references intended). Like a shiny star, her smile shines through the clouds of war and lights up just a little warmness within Lelouch's heart. An angelic character almost without faults, her bright features lighted up my heart as well.

NO VOTE FOR...Suzaku...If I calm my mind to a certain degree and perform a self diagnose, I can deduct that Suzaku is not at fault for his lack of popularity in my mind. In fact, the blame is all on Kira Yamato (A.K.A. "Jesus"-no offenses). Suzaku's character bears too much resemblance toward that of Kira Yamato of Gundam Seed(Destiny) and many other characters. His characteristics are...overused in the animation/manga industry. His characteristics are simply unoriginal, despite been better developed compared to Kira Yamato. Also, Suzaku is the primary antagonist force that opposes Lelouch who is everybody's modeled hero. So Suzaku plays the role of an anti anti-hero here... Weird, no? However I find his characters dislikable for being overused, oversimplified and that he opposes Lelouch!!!! So no vote for him...and sadly so. However it seems that Kira Yamato is very popular in Japan...so no Kira haters mean no Suzaku haters over there...hence why Suzaku's popularity is quite high in Japan.

[Eryna]

Voted for Lelouch, C.C., Lloyd and Cornelia.

[Spectacular_Insanity]

That's not why I didn't vote for him.... I didn't vote foor him because he's an angsty character. We've got more than enough of those, and his whole logic and reasoning is flawed, anyway. Not to mention he killed his own father.

[CitizenGeek]

As much as I really hated Brittania ... I loved Cornelia! She was awesome; she kind of reminded me of Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist, who I absolutely adore and any character that even remotely resembles Lust is, by default, fantastic!

Like C.C. too! I wanted to like Lelouch ... but then that whole Euphemia thing :/

I hate, hate, hate Suzaku for ruining all of Lelouch's awesome plans, though!

[Blue_Mercy]

When the second season starts this list of favorite characters is going to be almost double what it is now. With the Knights of the Round, Rollo, Chinese Federation characters, EU characters(this is a guess). Will the poll start over?

[-KarumA-]

When the second season starts this list of favorite characters is going to be almost double what it is now. With the Knights of the Round, Rollo, Chinese Federation characters, EU characters(this is a guess). Will the poll start over?

i guess it will because i'm sure opinions have changed over the airing time of S1 and opinions have changed with the new characters joining in as well
i guess a 2nd poll would be best, though we all know who will be on top :P

[Blackmoon042]

I voted for Shirley, Euphie, Lulu, and C.C.

Shirley: My favorite of the four. Kind, silly at times and has a depressing fate. She may seem a bit generic and unoriginal in character design, though, but she's a great character, IMO and I love how she reacts to situations: from trying to take back a bottle of wine (I think?) from Lulu and Suzaku to attempting to kill Lulu after discovering that he's Zero. She rocks. :)

Euphie: Caring, considerate, flexible, selfless, and she wants the Japanese to try to live peacefully with the Empire. Also, probably Lelouch's only sibling that has/would've accepted him for being Zero. Also, I think she's just innocent enough to not be, well, I don't know, however I think she has just the right amount of it.

Lulu: He has strong traits of typical protagonists and typical antagonists. His motives of making the world a better place to live in and to find out who ordered for his mother to be killed and exact revenge upon them, yet indifferently using the lives of terrorists on his side as chess pieces makes him seen caring, however, also uncaring, which I find interesting, although it's apparent he only really cares for Nunnally(sp?), his mother, Euphie, friends, and possibly some of the people close to him in the Black Knights.

C.C.: Honestly, I just think she looks cool. I hate her cold, callous personality, but I love her hair, eyes, and choice of clothing (yes, even the straight jacket).

[LuckySeven]

My votes.

Vote 1: Lelouch (Lulu)/Zero

From the first time I saw him, he became my number 1 character of the show. He is my topmost reason I watch(ed) this anime. His personality remembers me on Light character from DN-a. Personally I like how he walks the line between light and darkness. Also how his love for his sister is on first place of importance to him. Because of that he wows to destroy Britannia and make the world a better place for his sister to live.

Vote 2: C.C.

Mostly the female character in animes are weak in mind, I will not say d***b. But she is strong mentally and her character is still shrouded in mystery. Can't wait to see what will happen to her in season 2. Gotta love mysterious female characters in anime.

Vote 3: Karen/Kallen

Love her strong fighter attitude, specially her change from strong female to weak schoolgirl. I'm impressed with heir's fighting skills with Guren Mk II.

Vote 4: Milly

Well I love when she tries to show how she feels to Lelouch. Apparently she has some fillings involving him, but she will not say it (family status). I hope that we will see her more in second season.

Vote 5: Sayoko

I liked Sayoko's diary. I remember how much I laughed at the scene involving Suzaku and Lelouch.

Suzaku - hatred

Arthur - traitor

[Hell2shin]

I have voted:

Lelouch Lamperouge: Main character, smart, handsome, great voice, evil yet nice. I like those styled characters. :p

CC: Beautiful, mysterious, green haired. I like her clothes and her role of the story and her personality. Lelouch x CC ftw!

Woot CC and Lelouch are in the lead!

[Vonmalvarius]

I voted for Lelouch, C.C., Kallen, Viletta and Diethard. I'd voted for Rakshata if she was a choice.

I'm so dissapointed by the lack of Diethard's fans on this board. He is one of the most interressing supporting character. I think that he's Zero's #1 fanatic. He's actually in total adoration with Zero's rebellion. Hell, he may be even more dependant of Zero than any other black knight. He's also very smart, during episode 22 when everyone was "OMG Euphie is evil", Diethard was "OMG it's all Zero's doing and it's wonderful". By the end of the first season, he and Viletta are the only non-main characters to know that Zero has not just an epic amount of charisma, but a real supernatural power.

[Realist_Classic]

^^^
I won't deny that Diethard is one of the most interesting characters, but there are so many to begin with. At first, I distrusted him, thinking that he'd be the most likely person to sell out Zero in order to satisfy his insatiable desire for capturing glory or history-in-the-making on tape. But as time went on, it's clear that he's become even more enamored with Zero's ideas and sees himself as a person who can help his leader realize his vision. However, I still don't quite trust him, now that Zero seems to be out of the picture. I guess the test of whether he's a true believer is whether he takes over the Black Knights as a temporary caretaker, perhaps organizing the search and rescue effort for Zero, or simply just packs up and calls it the day.

[zerron]

I voted for Lelouch and CC - really great characters. I hope that in the end Lelouch won't die - I don't think he deserves it (but this is question about morality) and Suzaku is (IMHO) one of the worst characters in Code Geass, it would be stupid that in the end he becomes a hero or something.

[Amray]

In Japan Lelouch won the award for best Male Anime character in 2006.

[Gotank]

Hmm, I absolutely hate Suzaku.

In my opinion he is an total hypocrite. I mean he says his aim is to reduce violence and save lives, yet he obviously have no remorse for the people he's fought with, despite knowing their legitimate reasons for fighting. Overall his antagonism against Lelouch is rather frustrating, and especially since the show portrays him as this 'heroic' figure.

Then there's his whole problem with killing his own father to obtain peace. Absolutely disgusting. Finally, he says he also aims to change Japan's status, but all we see in the show is him climbing the ladder to get higher ranks for himself. Piratically no sign of any attempt at changing anything. He's simply a traitor if you ask me. Oh ya, and the fact that he seems to be ungrateful to Zero for helping him on several occasions is quite annoying too.

It's even more plainly obvious how flawed Suzaku is in the final arc, where he goes on a rampage and attacks Zero. Where's the care for innocent lives now? Kill the guy fighting for a cause that you should have been fighting for? It seems to be that his morals only seem to apply when it was convenient for him.

Please kill him off brutally in season 2 =D

Now that I've gotten that off my chest...

Lelouch is awesome. I really enjoyed how the show emphasized some of his 'imperfections' and the more cynical sides to his personality. Being a brilliantly fast thinker and unfaltering most of the time adds to his awesomeness.

Karen is admirable too. Unwavering loyalty to the protagonist earns her 100000 awesome points =)

[Airi]

Hmm, I absolutely hate Suzaku.
Then there's his whole problem with killing his own father to obtain peace. Absolutely disgusting.

Well.....Lelouch killed Clovis.....Euphemia....and he's going to kill his father.
They kill in order to achieve their objectives....I don't see much difference:twitch:
In the flashback, after he hits his father with a knife, suzaku is shoked and runs towards him,because he didn’t plan to kill him (he was only a child after all)!
I mean, he didn't plan to kill him in his sleep:rolleyes:
Lelouch was really aware of what he was doing when he killed Clovis:he was cold and calm!!!
Well, returning on topic, I love Lelouch And Suzaku:D:D

[Gotank]

Wow there is totally a difference... Lelouch kills those that oppose him and his own declared objectives. Additionally, it's fairly obvious that Euphemia had to die after how the story progressed (not saying that she deserved to die or w/e). Plus Lelouch was badly treated and already fueled by the incentive of revenge for his mother before he decided to kill anyone.

Another thing that separates the two: Clovis was obviously not someone who respected the rights of those he oppressed; in a sense, he had a reason to die. Suzaku's father was more or less fighting for the freedom of his country. Completely different people here.

As far as the story showed, Suzaku wasn't mistreated by his father at all; basically he killed his own father because their views differed. This in itself is not so bad as the fact that his father probably had no knowledge of these strong antagonistic feelings, nor would he be willing to fight against his own son.

The way the whole thing was revealed, it looked to me like a loving and honorable father was betrayed by his son.

Seriously, I fail to see how anyone could like both Lelouch and Suzaku. Everything about them are completely opposites. Ethnicities, moralities, philosophies, strengths, personalities... The fact that they unknowingly oppose each other for the majority of the series makes it even less possible to not take a side.

to fight a war that you cannot win: isn't this a good reason to die?
where did you see the loving father?? in the flashback he slaps Suzaku hard !!
We still don't know anything about this character.... Let's not generalize:let's wait for season 2!
Well I love them both because they have both good and bad sides and I don't want to "take a side" because I think they are both wrong....but it doesn't mean I don't like them
they are pretty interesting characters^^

[kyrie_eleison]

4th: Dalton. Dalton needs more love. Although not as pretty as Guilford, he was unwaveringly loyal to Cornelia and Euphemia, kind [he raised the knights, after all, as his sons] and self-sacrificing. He didn't deserve that ending.

3rd: Ougi. Pretty much the same reasons as Dalton, except with the added factor that, despite being in the same house as a confused, gorgeous lady, he didn't try anything funny.

2nd: C.C. Does this even need explaining? She's hot, cute, quirky, blunt, looks great in a plugsuit, can pilot a mecha while Lelouch is emo-ing in the backseat and has supernatural powers. What's not to like?

1st: SUZAKU. I adore Suzaku. To death.
Why? How could i possibly love that yellow-bellied, scum-sucking hypocrite Kira/Syaoran-rip-off whose logic doesn't make sense and who does nothing in the series but serve as a nuisance to Lulu's grand megalomaniacal schemes?

Well, first of all, because his logic does make sense.
He wants to serve peace to the country, and he's doing it the best way he knows how which is infiltrating the enemy and rising up to an advantageous position where he'll be able to influence more effects without having to kill anyone.
Just because he's a soldier doesn't make him a hypocrite -- factually, he doesn't kill anyone he doesn't have to, really. Case in point, he in fact saved those innocent people in episode 2. Just because he killed his father doesn't make him a hypocrite either -- that was spur of the moment, and done for the same reason that Lulu wants to kill his father: because the man was acting in the name of selfishness over the welfare of the nation.

Secondly, Suzaku's character is deep. He's usually perceived as emo and angsty, but this really isn't the case. Suzaku hides a lot of trauma and inhibitions underneath a mask of nobility. He continually tries to work himself into what he believes is a respectable and morally upright character, but at the same time he can never wash away the sins of his past. Thus, he perpetually feels inadequate but keeps trying to become better.
[Yes, this does put him onto a certain level of angst, but this doesn't transcend him into the typical image of 'angsty' which is broody broody, i will never be accepted into the world kind of acting. No, in fact he pretty much goes through his life normally [unless his trauma is activated] until the entire Euphie thing].

Thirdly, because EVERYONE dislikes him. Lelouch is mad at him because he betrayed his vision. Euphie's gone. Kallen and the rest of the Knights see him as their greatest opposition. The people at his school bully him. The nobles look down on him. Hell, even Arthur, the cat, scratches him every chance he gets. THE BOY NEEDS LOVE.

Lastly, because him and Lelouch make an interesting pair. Who the hero or the anti-hero is is entirely debatable, and he contrasts Lulu's ambitiousness and manipulation with his own hopefulness and idealism.


Don't get me wrong, I love Lelouch. But Lelouch's character is extremely, extremely selfish and unusually cruel -- Lelouch jeapordized the peace of the nation by accidentally hypnotizing Euphemia, killed his brother Clovis, continually kills or causes the death of a lot of soldiers on both ends of the fence, and tries to manipulate Suzaku into protecting Nunally as per his own visions of a 'perfect future'.
I love him ~ but i'm going to stand up, and admit [to the risk of being killed by the fans] that the boy is a bit off.

[KrimzonStriker]

He's perfectly sane, hell I would wager he's more sane than any of us!! What do we commoners posses to see through the necessity of breaking the unyielding cycle of hate in this world? We see it, complain about it, but do nothing in the end and continue to contribute to it. To say Lelouch is insane is preposterous, he's just being honest unlike many of us...

[Airi]

4th: Dalton. Dalton needs more love. Although not as pretty as Guilford, he was unwaveringly loyal to Cornelia and Euphemia, kind [he raised the knights, after all, as his sons] and self-sacrificing. He didn't deserve that ending.

3rd: Ougi. Pretty much the same reasons as Dalton, except with the added factor that, despite being in the same house as a confused, gorgeous lady, he didn't try anything funny.

Great *_* that's exactly what I think!!!!!:D:D:D:D

[kyrie_eleison]

Unfortunately it seems to be that Lulu's method of breaking through the cycle of hate is by adding more to it. His method of changing the world involves a lot of sacrifice. Also he expects the world to reciprocate to his intentions, and perish if it doesn't.
Morally speaking, it's debatable whether or not this is the correct thing to do.

But, admittedly -- laughing while watching an empire crumble at your feet and then suddenly leaving the volatile rebels under your command to go save your sister, while remaining hope that your best friend will bend to your will of a vision of a better world, despite having killed his girlfriend -- is at least an indication of being a megalomaniac. True, most of it is human, but still, it's kinda crazy. x3

[KrimzonStriker]

I object, he's simply caught in unwavering circumstances. And c'mon, at least what he does is realistic, you can't change the world with pretty worlds alone, sometimes you have to go for the throat in order to accomplish anything. What you do when you've finally won is the question. As for leaving the rebels to go save your sister... please do not tell me you would abandon your only sister to go conquer the world, if ANYTHING it makes him more human....

[Airi]

I object, he's simply caught in unwavering circumstances.

OMG....unwavering circumstances? are you John McCain's son?:twitch:heh::heh::heh:

[KrimzonStriker]

Ha ha, I'm a moderate independent I'll have you know!! :heh: As I was saying, things happened beyond his control or intent... it's not to say he doesn't take responsibility for it though, and at least he strives to fight to end such sacrifices from ever being needed again, even if it destroys him :(

[zerron]

1st: SUZAKU. I adore Suzaku. To death.
Why? How could i possibly love that yellow-bellied, scum-sucking hypocrite Kira/Syaoran-rip-off whose logic doesn't make sense and who does nothing in the series but serve as a nuisance to Lulu's grand megalomaniacal schemes?

I love him ~ but i'm going to stand up, and admit [to the risk of being killed by the fans] that the boy is a bit off.

Are you also some kind of idealist who only knows to talk ??? Killed Clovis, many soldiers died, many people died ... what did you expect - that noone dies ? And those Britannians killed thousend times more people than Lelouch and I don't see that they were punished or that someone did something against it. Most of those who rule easily made orders to kill innocent people so someone should stop them. Killing someone like Clovis in a war isn't wrong thing to do at all and that someone doesn't deserve to be punished.

In reallity, there is no chance that someone like Suzaku could change the world. He wouldn't even become a knight. Also, he didn't even try to do something against orders to kill people, that idiot would even gave his life just because he was ordered to only to kill one man - I don't know who is worse : he or the person who gave that kind of order. Also, at the end he started to kill people just like everyone else (for revenge) so he is no better than the rest. Motive for his actions was peace and the desire to protect people which is so ridiculous considering his actions. The fact still remains that I think that he is only a stupid traitor who knows how to fight in a machine and nothing more.


Suzaku, grow up or die :D

[kyrie_eleison]

Changing the world with words alone is totally a matter of belief, isn't it?
And it can easily be argued that pretty much everyone there is caught in unwavering circumstances.

True, he does it out of a sense of duty and because of his personal beliefs, and I admire his ambition, cleverness, dedication and drive.

What i'm saying is crazy about Lelouch is that he seems to enjoy watching the destruction and carnage around him when it's to his advantage [see:maniacal laugh]. And then he seems to expect the world to cooperate while he does these things, getting agiatated when things don't go his way [i.e. Euphemia's new program thingy, Suzaku and Euphemia getting together].

I concede that yes, several of the reasons and motivations that drive him define his character as human. However, are humans not succeptible to madness, or acts of madness [depending, of course, on your definition of the word]?


[on the sister thing -- if I thought I was making the world a better place, i think i WOULD give her up for the greater good. But i don't think that's the same thing with Lulu's situation. He was wrong to have freaked out. I'm wrong because i'm confused. :eyespin:]
[excuse me for enjoying this. I haven't debated in a while :heh::heh: ]

[Airi]

he kills people because he lost euphi.....If Lelouch was in his place, he would do the same thing....they are both human: that's the problem!:p

[kyrie_eleison]

This of course brings up the question if a wrong rights another wrong. It depends whether of not you believe in change or not, and this again depends on how jaded you are or not.

As I said, Suzaku and Lelouch are on the opositte sides of the spectrum. It would be easy to argue that Lelouch's methods are justified because of their immediate effects, but it would also be easy to say that killing is wrong period, and that there could have been a less harsh method of dealing with things.

True, a sacrifice is necessary for peace to be brought about, but as I'd like to think, Lulu enjoyed it a bit too much. I still love him though. :rolleyes:

On Suzaku ~ true, he conceded to darker methods in the end, but that was Lulu's fault indirectly. And i'm not saying he's still in the morally-debatable-right. In fact, I worry for him.

And in the end, is there anything wrong with being an idealist? Idealists make for a more peaceful way of doing so ~ and have the power to succeed, despite odds. :eyespin:

[kyrie_eleison]

he kills people because he lost euphi.....If Lelouch was in his place, he would do the same thing....they are both human: that's the problem!

I AGREE. :blush::nod:

[KrimzonStriker]

Now that's absolute bollock's! You argue against Lelouch for his seemingly uncaring and insane pursuits, yet when he acts selflessly you go right about and criticize him for it!! And as for enjoying the destruction, I belive it's far from it! have you not witnessed the scenes of pain he's had to endure every time he realizes the pain he's caused to the people he cares for! His 'laughter' is merely a tool in which he uses to try and cover up his despair over what he has done, what he must continue to do...

[kyrie_eleison]

*quick argument. needs to leave*

I wasn't criticizing the face that he needed to save Nunally, just the fact that he had to leave the Knights in order to do so. It comes across to me as him putting his personal needs over that of the group which he himself started. Of course it's correct to care for his family, but he should have secured the people. What happened to the needs of the many then? But this is only my opinion.

As for the laughing being a cover up ~ i personally never really though about it that way. At the moment, I can't really think of a profound 'regret' scene except for the one after he killed Euphemia, but I admit this is a point worth looking up to. :)

[It would be ironic if he puts up an evil face to hide his pained goodness, and if Suzaku puts up a good face to repress his latent evilness he believes he has :eyespin:]

[KrimzonStriker]

Wasn't that the intent of the animators all along, for Lelouch to be the dark hero and Suzaku to be the goody villain :confused: There were other scenes, like after he realized he caused Shirley's father to die, and after he erased her memory. Even after he killed Clovis, it made him sick to his stomach. In any case, we realize that yes, he is indeed selfish, he's never really detracted from this mindset before, the fact that he even started the rebellion was for his sister's sake, and you know what, that's okay... it's good to be selfish, especially when it's in a selfless way. Otherwise, you end up only throwing your life away, like with Suzaku.

[kyrie_eleison]

Oooh yeah, thinking back to it ~ Lelouch does allow himself to be taken with the pangs of battle but really deeply regrets it inside. I see that, and you're right about that then. :)

Although he IS still manipulative [that's the beauty of his character, although it scares me and throws me off a bit] and i wouldn't be surprised if that kind of pressure ends up breaking him [it did to Suzaku didn't it?]. Hopefully it doesn't though ~ observationally, though I love Mr. Kururugi, Lulu's stronger by Suzaku by far. :D

But again, hero and villain are redefinable terms. They're both heroes and villains and goody and dark in their own ways I think, especially with the resurfacing of their characters in season 2. :D

[KrimzonStriker]

So many things to look foward too, plus we get to expand the polls after the Season starts. Though I haven't seen him yet, I think my first new character vote will probably go to Lee :p

[zerron]

I know that Lelouch's methods are moraly questionable but at least he took the right path and I can't say the same for Suzaku. It seems that Suzaku wants peace under the rule of Britannian which is, in my opinion, wrong. He should be fighting for Japan's independence. He saw how much people are suffering, dying, where they live, how they are treated ... those things would never change, especially under the rule of Lelouch's father (we all know how he thinks about people). So, there is nothing wrong in destroying that emipre and killing that man. The one who makes that possible should be a hero.

[Gotank]

Totally agree with Zerron. Suzaku makes no attempt to actually live up to any of the things he said he would do. Essentially he and Zero have the same goals, but they're approaching it with different methods. Is that enough reason to obey the enemy and give his own life to kill the person who shares the same goals with him?

Obviously we've seen in the show that Suzaku's methods were NOT even remotely effective. All he did was make himself a pawn of the Britania empire against others fighting for his own causes. Nothing was changed. And don't compare Euphemia's proposal to that of having your own country back. It's like moving aboriginal Americans onto reserves.

Peace > War? Right, let's use that as an excuse. Let's say your country was invaded tomorrow, and there's only two options: either you strike back and prepare to suffer casualties or surrender peacefully, give up all rights of a soverign nation, and become lower class citizens to the enemies. Would you pick the latter of the options?

As Lelouch himself said, beyond Suzaku's murder of his father, he's also taken away the right of the Japanese people by not giving them the option to fight back anymore. It's one thing to believe in something, but it's a totally different one to enforce your own selfish philosophies onto someone else.

Oh ya, and regarding the whole good villain and evil hero thing. I think that's part of the reason why I hate Suzaku more than I hate almost all of the actual villains in any story. It's because the whole series portrays him as a hero with all these great ideals, but anyone who actually taken a second to think about the things he's said would become sceptical.

[BlackOni]

I like Lelouch becuase,
1. He is willing to do what it takes to get the job done.
2. he know the only way to change the britannian's policy is to overthough it.
3. He feel for the peole he kills wether on perpuse or by accident but continues to aspire for the greater good.
4. he know whats trully important to him, (and for the record, would you really condemn one of your loved ones to death even if you knew it would save so many more lives.)
5. he's just a evil genius with a heart of gold (jk)

I like Kallen becuase,
1. Her life is so simular to Lelouch's it's Scary (him mom died, he want revenge. Her brother died, she wants revenge. He want to make a better world for nunnaly. She wants to make a better world for her mom. They both lead double lifes. And now that kallens secret is out they'ra both hiding from britania.)
2. Her firy sprit and refusal to give up.
3. Her uter devotion to zero.
4. Her ability to throw away past friendship if they get in her way, (when she tried to assasinate suzaku,) and work for what she believes is the greater good.

I like C.C. Becuase,
1. She can be so childish yet so serios and condesending to others at the same time.
2. She's the only person who openly critisizes Lelouch.
3. she's live so many sad lifes and still managed to keep her sanity.
4. she trys to act devoid of feeling but fails every now and then.
5. she's just so mysterious an uniqe of a charater.

I really HATE Suzaku becuase,
1. He believes he's always right.
2. He robed Japan of its right to choose its own path when he killed his father.
3. He further robs Japan of the right to fight back when he kills terrorists/fights the black knights.
4. He hates killing but it's in his job descrition.
5. He's deluted into thinking everyone around him believes his views.
6. He believes he can turn kallen, who was a terrorist long before zero ever came around.
7. When he loses someone he loves all he thinks about is revenge, throwing out all his previous ideals and beliefs.
8. He believes he can change the britannian goverments point of view by jioning as a low class soilder, when his best friend who's a britannian prince got kickout of his country for asking "why?", what does he siriously expect them to do when he says 'sorry but could you change your 2000 or so year old policy becuase it dosent fit with my own beliefs'.

And that's just for starters.

Ps. I really hope Suzaku dies soon.

Ps. I really hope Suzaku dies soon.

I completly agree with you on the Suzaku part.

Also no matter what argument is used the fact that Suzaku is a Hypocrite is unarguable. Tanaguchi himself who is the Director, AND the original story creator of Code Geass said that Suzaku was a Hypocrite.

Suzaku is supposed to be a person that appears good, and selfless, but is actually very selfish, and Lelouch is supposed to be a person that seems selfish, and evil, but is good, and somewhat selfless.

When Code Geass was first created Tanaguchi said he wanted Fukuyama who usually voices hero characters to play Lelouch, and Sakurai who usually voices villans characters to play Suzaku because he wanted Lelouch to sound like a good person who's forcing himself to be evil, and he wanted Suzaku to sound like an evil person who is pretending to be good.

A good analogy for Lelouch, and Suzaku's personalities is this(not mine, but I don't know who made the originally analogy, thanks, and credit to whoever made it):

If there were two people in the middle of the highway one badly injured, and one in fatal condition, Lelouch would Judge his strength the weight of the person, the distance to the hospital, and the time, take the injured person, and save him. The injured person would be fine, and live, but the person in fatal condition would die(i.e The ends justify the means, a person may have died because of his actions, but he was able to save atleast one of them). If Suzaku found the people he would take both of them despite the fact that he probably wouldn't be able to save them, and they would both die, and he would justify their death to himself so he can't really be blamed for it(i.e the means justify the ends, they may have both died, but I tried my best to save them both)

[Dann of Thursday]

I thought that whole analogy was by someone from the staff. I could be wrong though since I can't quite remember. Still it displays both of them as they really are in a realistic environment.

I am sorry. While i agree with all the other points, I have to say something about this. As another poster mentioned, what would Leouch do if he were in Suzakus shoes. If Nunally died and he knew who did it? He would act the same way woudnt he?. I don't hate Suzaku for this fact. This is one instance where i approve of his action because its very human to do. Besides, his dream is essentially dead when that shit went down in 22. What exactly did people expect him to do? act like nothing happened?. The japanese will no longer trust him and all hes done is essentially gone. To top it all off, he had to hear the truth from someone other than his best friend and his best friend even lied to him to his face about it and basically says something along the line "your important person is dead deal with it now help me save mine!" heck I would have shot him right then and there. I am sorry but As of 22 I no longer like Leouch and I doubt anything he does in the future will make me change my mind (I still find 22 and 23 disturbing). I sincerely hope his past actions cause him agony in the future to a great extent. Suzaku's fate, sadly, is sealed and all I want from him is to be able to have his revenge. After that he can die or whatever because his dream is essentially gone

I know Lelouch doesn't condemn Suzaku for being angry, for wanting to kill him for taking Euphie and that he could understand his friend's pain, which was evidenced by their phone conversation at the end of episode 23. I truth, Lelouch decided that he would just play the game and see who emerged victorious, and in some ways, had Nunnaly not been kidnapped I wonder if Lelouch might have let Suzaku kill him in the end...

I agree but in this way Leouch is basically creating a greater monster in the grand scheme of things and anything Suzaku does in the future may as well be on Leouchs head. Plus what will Nunally say. I doubt theres anything she could say to Suzaku to make him not want to kill Leouch. This whole thing reminds me of GSD and thats what irritates me the most.

I'm not saying Lelouch wouldn't, after all it's not agianst Lelouch's beliefs. I just don't like the fact that after all his talk of helping innocents and saving lives / not killing and such when he kills them anyways, it took one of the people he cared for's death to think oh crap, mabye I was wrong. I think i'll go the zero aproach after all. and with how they discribe him in r2 he looks even more like a zero clone. Although I did hate suzaku before this and Argued agianst his point of view fequently. This one act is the reason he's my most hated character.

i'm all for hypocrites and madman, but only if the fallow there beliefs to the end, to me suzaku just seem weak in mind and sprite, and the only reason he suvived so far is he incredable strenght and his best friend/ worst enimy forceing him to. and althoug i agree lelouch made a bad choice to ask for his help at that moment, you have to remeber he isn't exactly in his right mind at the time.

[cajunman380]

i'm not saying Lelouch wouldn't, after all it's not agianst Lelouches beliefs. i jus don't like the fact that after all he talk of helpin inocents and saveing live/ not killing and such when he kill them anyways, it took one of the people he cared for to think oh crap, mabye i was wrong. i think i'll go zero aproach after all. and with how they discribe him in r2 he looks even more like a zeor clone. although i did hate suzaku before this and srgued agianst his pont fequently. this one act in the reason he's my most hated carater.

It took one person who was forced to murder people against her will and the destruction of everything he tried to do to make him change. There was no way he could undo the damage Zero did and again Leouch would act the same way if it was Nunally. There is only so much that a human being can take and this was it for Suzaku so i cant hate his character for that particular reason.

As for not being in the right mind? That isn't really an excuse since he was just asking to be shot. He could have come clean. What he did basically guaranteed the end of their friendship and the comments that were to follow. Again After that episode I dont like Leouch and I doubt I will find his character appealing in the future. Suzaku like I said, his fate is apparently sealed so theres not much I can say regarding him. The mans dreams are gone and all he has left is vengeance.


BTW this line m all for hypocrites and madman, but only if the fallow there beliefs to the end, is sort of a contradiction since most Hypocrites dont tend to follow their beliefs to the end and most madmen wind up going insane. Just my opinion on this.

The only way to your dream is over the corpses of those who stand in your way. The world cannot be changed by pretty words alone.

Well, that's all Suzaku has left as a character anyway: his continued existence is only justified so long as he kills, and kills, and kills. That is the only path left open to him.

Suzaku destroyed their friendship, not Lelouch even if he was responsible for it, when he offered him one last chance to work together and save Nunnally. Lelouch also doesn't offer excuses to anyone, not even to himself, so it's not like he'd blame it on an accident because really, he probably blames himself more than anyone for what happened to Euphie...

[BlackOni]

it is my personal belief that dreams never truly die untill you do. which is why I respected Suzaku even though I didn't agree with him untill that moment (and the one were we find out he killed his father).
And I already explain that I don't care if Lelouch would do the same thing. but every time I think of suzaku going crazy I think of how he kill his father and how many japanese would try to murder him if they knew the truth. yet he still gets to act all high and mighty as if Lelouch is the only problem and he's done nothing wrong.

well thats bull as far as i'm conserend.

I like lelouch cuase at least he's honest with himself

I hate suzaku cause he hasen't been honest with anyone since the begining includeing himself.

[Blue_Mercy]

When he loses someone he loves all he thinks about is revenge, throwing out all his previous ideals and beliefs.


I am sorry. While i agree with all the other points, I have to say something about this. As another poster mentioned, what would Leouch do if he were in Suzakus shoes. If Nunally died and he knew who did it? He would act the same way woudnt he?. I don't hate Suzaku for this fact. This is one instance where i approve of his action because its very human to do. Besides, his dream is essentially dead when that shit went down in 22. What exactly did people expect him to do? act like nothing happened?. The japanese will no longer trust him and all hes done is essentially gone. To top it all off, he had to hear the truth from someone other than his best friend and his best friend even lied to him to his face about it and basically says something along the line "your important person is dead deal with it now help me save mine!" heck I would have shot him right then and there. I am sorry but As of 22 I no longer like Leouch and I doubt anything he does in the future will make me change my mind (I still find 22 and 23 disturbing). I sincerely hope his past actions cause him agony in the future to a great extent. Suzaku's fate, sadly, is sealed and all I want from him is to be able to have his revenge. After that he can die or whatever because his dream is essentially gone

I will agree with most of this except for the part about what Lelouch says to Suzaku, because by this point it doesn't matter what Lelouch would have said to Suzaku he was still going to shoot him. There was nothing Lelouch could do to stop it after the "accident" happened. What Lelouch said to Suzaku might have been harsh, but it still was the truth. It was in the past, Lelouch was regretting it, and Nunnally was in danger, but Suzaku was right about Lelouch being naive there was no way Suzaku was going to lift a finger to help him at this point. Lelouch should have known as soon as he pulled the trigger on Euphie right in front of Suzaku, their friendship was over.

As for the agony part the director has already stated that Suzaku will be put into some type of hell. I guess having your girlfriend shot in front of you, and then watching her fade away isn't enough for a hypocrite.

Leouch destroyed their friendship. He lied to him and Killed someone he cared about and even tried to lie to him to his face about it after Suzaku found out the truth. He even acted as though she didnt matter and asked for his help. Do you honestly think anyone who went through that would want to still be friends with someone afterward? I would have shot him point blank myself.

Leouch was responsible for the massacre, he intended to geass her prior to it and he just happened to say the single most idiotic thing in the history of anime and got a different result. he thew the excuse clause away when he publicly blamed it on Euphie so he may as well intentionally did it

I agree but It would have scored Leouch a few points with me if he tried even though its pointless. This prettly much guaranteed that Suzaku will be at his throat to the bitter end

[KrimzonStriker]

And what would you have done in his place? Confess? Destroy the hopes and dreams of freedom everyone had placed upon his shoulders? Get yourself killed when you know it would have changed absolutely nothing in absolving your sin? Anyone could see that after Euphie went on a rampage, there was only one choice, to go forward!

How about not say that retarded Line that caused the incident?

Is there anything else that would have given Euphie's death meaning? :eyebrow:

And Lelouch was the one who destroyed the friendship with Suzaku, there's no denying that, but that doesn't let Suzaku off completely. He crossed the line the second he threatened to take Nunnally, and that was the second Lelouch stopped thinking of Suzaku as a friend, even if he already knew full well their friendship was over before then. Though hey, I'd be crazy and vengeful too if I was Suzaku, so of course he sank to the same level as Lelouch (in a way he may have gone even lower) and ruined his end of the friendship.

"those who dwel on the past get left behind" one of my favorite quotes, i just can't remeber were it's from.

[Blue_Mercy]

Yeah I can see that conversation going over real well.

Suzaku: Before that you should have joined up with Euphie.

Lelouch: Oops, ah man that was an accident, you see the supernatural Geass ability suddenly became permanent as I joked about killing all the japanese people. So....yeah friends again? :heh:

Considering Leouch killed someone important to Suzaku, I say all bets are off. Leouch crossed the line when he killed Euphie and he should have seen this coming when he gave the ok for Suzaku to extract his revenge on him.

"those who dwel on the past get left behind" one of my favorite quotes, i just can't remeber were it's from.
Ironically it applies to both Leouch and Suzaku. But then again whats the point of the quote?

[Dann of Thursday]

I think he was just surprised that Suzaku put his revenge even over Nunnally. Lelouch was also in a sort of panic mode at that point. He knew full well that Suzaku was coming for him, but he simply didn't think that Suzaku would go that far. There is also the fact that Suzaku sort of said to Lelouch the same thing his father told him.

nothing realy just comenting on krimzonstrickers remark with a simaler quote that actually have meaning in code geass as both lelouche and c.c. have stated in previous episodes

[cajunman380]

oh ok, very interesting.

Ok guys look I am already heading off topic with this as this si the favorite characters poll. I just wanted to express my viewpoint on this particular aspect of Suzakus character. For the record as I said I dont like Leouch and I hold a similar candle to Suzaku though the revenge aspect he has puts him a tad higher (just a tad) I already know Suzakus fate. I can only hope something similar befalls leouch. Thank you all for your opinions as they are very diverse and well written. Till season 2 I bid you all goodnight!!!!!!!!!!

[ashlay]

Which is why Lelouch didn't pull a gun on Suzaku until the end. He was fine with Suzaku coming at him. But again, Lelouch is only okay with Suzaku trying to punish him for what happed. Having Nunnally suffer consequences by being reabsorbed into the life of Britannian politics was a complete and total trangression in Lelouch's mind.

[KrimzonStriker]

A lame joke right? I think the joke was not merely a joke, but the kind of thing which Lelouch would have needed to ruin the SAR, as he used the whole 'shoot me" example before that. I thought of it merely as one of his over analysis side coming up with a situation that would have been benificial to him, which is really just the fault of being too smart I guess :p

In any case, Suzaku's crossed a line himself at this point, so what it really comes down too right now is who pulls the trigger first. This debate is over then I think ;)

[Gotank]

It may seem rather cruel to take advantage of the accident and use Euphie's actions for his cause, but essentially Lelouch did the right thing. A brilliant strategist and military mind must look past the emotions involved with the incident and judge all the possible actions based on which would yield the best results.

[Airi]

Yeah I can see that conversation going over real well.

Suzaku: Before that you should have joined up with Euphie.

Lelouch: Oops, ah man that was an accident, you see the supernatural Geass ability suddenly became permanent as I joked about killing all the japanese people. So....yeah friends again? :heh:

:heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh: :heh::heh::heh::heh::heh:

[KrimzonStriker]

Like I was saying I thought it more an example of what Lelouch had thought up at the time to ruin the SAR, instead of an actual joke. The fact that he chose the 'shoot me instead' route intentionally speaks of his willingness to sacrifice himself instead of others if he can. Still, this leaves the point that he did probably think about using Geass in that fashion, because I find it hard to believe he came up with that kind of 'joke' that was so convenient for his situation :heh:

[Dann of Thursday]

He probably considered it but thought it to be too extreme of a measure. He wanted to discredit her, not harm her. He also probably said that example because it was something he thought ludicrous to order at that point.

I wonder how he felt about all those Japanese decrying Euphemia the way they did when her actions weren't her fault.

"Even if she'd hate me for it, this is now the only way to give her death meaning and realize the dream of her and everyone else who died here."

[Dann of Thursday]

I can only imagine how bad he feels about all that. Still, he had to do something and saying what really happened could not of had a good effect. I think that may come back to bite him though, since the truth will likely come out eventually.

[KrimzonStriker]

Truth already came out if Suzaku pointing a gun at him wasn't enough :rolleyes: And it may or may not come into play during the trust issues between Kallen and Lelouch, depending on how much she could decipher from their conversation... But since the general public doesn't believe in mystic command rendering eyes, I doubt it'll ever spread beyond that...

[Dann of Thursday]

Well I think the Order will find out some how. It won't really matter how he did so much as the faact that it was his fault it happened.

[KrimzonStriker]

Yes, mind control powers are so easy to believe in, Euphemia yelling 'Can all the Japanese please die?" is really within the realm of typically possible manipulation... there not going to buy it without proof, besides their probably already mad at him enough after he abandoned them in Tokyo, they don't need Euphie to hold a grudge...
