except for one small detail the evidence WAS pretty flimsy and silly it just also happened to be almost entirely true and regardless of the way the evidence is portrayed, they black knights reaction is not unjustified when you remember that they actually ARE the sort of people who WOULD cringe at the idea of massacring unarmed women and children (with tamaki possibly being the only exception) they dont turn on lelouch out of greed or because they are "evil" they turn on him because they are presented with convincing (and mostly true) evidence that he is a monster their reaction is based on fear and foolishness, and their use of kallen as bait is not excusable but its not like its anywhere CLOSE to what Lelouch does to MAKE them turn on him

probably because they figured "if she protects him, then she's on his side"
its possible that someone among the BK pointed out that the "monster" who had been "using them as pawns" seem to have a thing for kallen (ep 10 is a good example) maybe they wanted to be sure what side she's on the fact that they never told her about all the crap he did however, kinda makes the point moot, since its obvious she'll try to defend him if she doesnt know about who he really is

The evidence is true, but not convincing as Tamaki was able to prove. I still maintain that the BK were the normal sort of terrorist before Lelouch showed up, thus I believe that they were infact very close to what Lelouch did, if not worse, with scale being the only seperating factor. |

the black knights dont exactly seem offended by attacking the JLF defection group to help free britannian hostages
going from "so you want to work together" to "lets attack our own allies to save enemy civilians" is not exactly an easy step when you think of it unless of course, you disapprove of their actions beforehand but we seem to have drifted off topic somewhat if you want to answer this, please do so in the general thread

Another question about a storyboard hole.
Kallen had a double life, strong rebel woman/weak health always sick woman....so, when that comedy started? nobody had suspect about it considering the longest absences without a medical check or a word from the parents/friends? Or Kallen parents 100% doesn't care about what the daoughter do, otherwise is another logic question without answer. Last edited by Bonzo; 2009-12-16 at 09:41. |

her "mother" seems to know she's going in and out of the ghetto alot
which seems to imply she knows that she isnt sick she just doesnt really care what kallen does

And as for Ashford...well, I am pretty sure they have an incredibly lenient policy on attendance. Hell, Lelouch barely comes to school and graduates easily. Kallen is also academically gifted, so I don't think it would be a problem for her to keep up with Lelouch.

Not to mention that the Kallen's britanian family seems to be rich and have a certain amount of influence. If Code Geass has shown us anything it is that Britannian families reasonably high up on the Social echelon are not questioned by commoners.

Code Geass never explored her Britannian side, so to speak, although maybe the Stadtfeld name helped her gain entry to Ashford, but I don't think it will excuse her absence. Plus the fact that she is not very close to her father, the Duke, so he would probably not support Kallen as fully as he should.

Her father obviously cared for her enough to take her into his family despite the stigma of her being half Eleven.
And also, we have seen commoners basically bend over backwards for the nobility at their slightest words, really who would question the daughter and presumably the sole heir to the Stadtfeld family over something so little as attendance? Kallen seems to get all her course work done despite the absences and seems to be top of the class in terms of her grades. |

Well, we cannot presume she is the sole heir. Duke Stadtfeld might be going crazy in the Brittanian mainland, who knows. XD And well, as I said before, that was because Kallen is a very smart girl..She probably could do all of her coursework within one day, if she puts effort into it.

Well, again that was one of my disappointments for R2 as Kallen's Britannian side was never fully explored. However, again, remember the kind of society Britannia is. Her father took her in and acknowledged her as a Stadtfeld. If he did not care for her at all he could have just as well left her running around in the Ghetto rather then link his family name to a half breed girl born by his Eleven mistriss.
We were not shown any siblings from the Britannian side, though admittedly we were not shown much period. But still it remains that her father is rich and powerful which makes it highly unlikely that the school would be willing to question her absence. edit- @ blade hes not a Duke, although I do wonder about his social position, was there any side materials or anything that made mention of this or is it just left completely in the dark? |
