Code Geass - Episode 24-25 Discussion / Poll

[Airi]

At the end of episode 25 (after CC's monologue) there is a picture of someone near Lelouch.....who is he???(he doesn't look like Sukazu!)

[Irkalla]

Yeah, it really ended with a major cliffhanger...But oh well it's kinda obvious what will happen in the next season...

Spoiler for major spoiler:

Nanally will do a geass contract and she will get the power of reading the future or something,,like in the manga. That last scene when Nanally was "enlightened" was probably when she made the cotract

You know what they say,

If the general goes down, the entire battalion goes down.

Diethardt had already pointed this out though due simply to the fact that the Order exists only because of Lelouch's will. They are nothing without him even if another capable commander takes up the reins.

"Holy Shit" - from me, after the gun shot and ED starts rolling. Damn cliffhanger againt!

On V.V. - he didn't show much power other than teleporting into highly secure places. Zero's little trap for Lancelot turns out to be his biggest undoing, otherwise at least Sayoko would be there to protect Nunnally.

On Villetta - a point blank shot that is non-fatal? Do she still have some feeling for Ogi? I predict tragic death of them dying together.

Zero is not the only one sacrifice his troops for personal reason. Cornelia wasted the aerial reinforcement to lure Zero.

a possibility but not 100% by any means ~ heck with what has happened now nothing is for certain but hints about S2 being more "suzaku" centered gives it more of a reason that it wont happen :/

[Daniel di Espania]

Kallen could be extremely confused and in shock since she sort of hates the way lelouch thinks but is inamored with Zero and the way he thinks (even tough before she tought them to be the same person but was thrown off)

The ending was disappointing

i mean its still good, BUT GODDAMN DISAPPOINTING

and I thought Geass could become the BEST anime ever made......

well done Sunrise, well done

i guess theres no such thing as perfect anime huh?

It was worth the wait waiting for these last 2 episodes. The ending could've had some more detail, but maybe it's been done this way to leave room for a possible season 2. With that said, I'll recommend Code Geas to anyone.

sure the pain of a cliffhanger hurts now but in the long run that was the perfect move and i cant think of a better way to close act 1 of code geass.

[myopius]

Ahhh... the characters never say what I want them to say. I would've loved a conversation like: Lelouch: "Nunnally is kidnapped, yet you, who no longer has anyone worth protecting, cares only for revenge against the only being who can save her! There is no place for your kind of evil in the new world!" Suzaku: "Everything you say is a lie! A monster who is capable of only murder, you can't save anyone, so go to hell!" Something along those lines.

This episode had so many different plotlines going on... yeah, everything just reared its ugly head all at once. Looking forward to season 2, but I hope they slow down the pace a bit when they start it out. If they start out replaying the scene where Suzaku has his gun pointed at Lelouch, that won't be possible, of course.

Yeah I'm not sure why Kallen was so upset that it was Lelouch.... Must be because she thinks that that means he didn't really mean what he was doing, because he's Brittanian? What a letdown. Anyway, now to eat dinner.

Edit for more comments:

It's really too bad that the ending was leaning way more toward C.C and away from Kallen as far as romance with Lelouch... I guess it was inevitable since C.C and Lelouch had just been growing closer through the episodes, but it really hit a high point in episode 25, and meanwhile Kallen, who was already in a volatile situation with her fanatic attitude toward Lelouch, hit a low point. Although I really can't understand why she'd be upset, like Lelouch said Japan had been liberated as he had always said, it's too bad Zero left his post and caused deaths but I think it's more her fault for deifying Zero and not paying attention to the parts where her goals didn't coincide with his. Not that I don't like C.C, I just think that the meaningful potential in Kallen's relationship with Lelouch/Zero shouldn't be so easily cast aside, especially after there was a whole episode focused on her. Then again, this show is really good at having everything go to hell--in part I already expected it'd go like that when he took of his mask.

By the way, there's one thing I didn't pay attention to, or just couldn't figure out. How did the students escape, the Nunnally get left alone?

[Timeless Enigma]

I was really disappointed with the pacing in these two episodes. It's like they took 5 episodes worth of plot and compressed it into a messy 2 episode package. Seems like every Sunrise show I watch these days has poor endgame pacing.

Anyway, I'm likely the only one who was quite turned off from the show because of these two episodes. Things were going at light speed. I wonder if I will even bother with the second season.

If Kallen dies then it's gameover for me... It was a fun ride while it lasted.

Suzaku must die by the end of the story.

[Kanon]

Kallen already knew Zero was Brittanian since the meeting with the Kyoto Boss, and she already suspected Lelouch of being Zero at some point. And even so, that doesn't change Zero's past actions, he obviously didn't do all that just for the lulz.
Oh well, Kallen has been pretty retarded lately, so that didn't surprise me all that much.

As for the cliffhanger...meh. I'm pretty sure none of them is going to die for a reason or another (probably because of Suzaku's "live" geass and his hax abilities).

Well, overall these episodes weren't bad at all; the big problem is that they weren't worth such a long wait, so it ended up being disappointing to me.

[Kisuke06]

I still can't believe in the end of episode 25... but I think both will live.

And CC kissing Lelouch, that was very unpredictable IMO.

[dxanato]

They left the student alone cause they start to search for the person who shot Ogi. They took advantage of the chaos to escape.

[Paek]

so.. its a fact that s2 is comming right ?

if so, is there any info if the sequel will be of the s1 characters or it will be with another main char ? (i mean like.. 10 years passed.. some1 else got geass and along in the story they tell what happened that day or something like that)
is there any real info about what s2 will be about?

[Terra]

Season 2 will continue with the current characters in same roles as they currently have. So Lelouch is still the main character, etc...

[Xcomp]

First off, boring opening animation but I guess there was no point in creating a whole new one just for two eps.

As for the episodes themselves, what a mess...

Spoiler:

Starts off all fine, Lelouch is in control then that V.V. has to kidnap Nunally and mess everything up. I knew he was bad news when he first appeared, though.

Now Zero is like a traitor that abandoned the Black Knights and the Japanese but not only that, Kallen finds out it was a Britannian who's been commanding them the whole time. Not good.

Poor C.C... All that pain she had to endure. I'm glad Lelouch was there to comfort her. And shame Villetta got her memories back but if she didn't, who knows what would have happened with those "thugs".

I wonder how C.C. will get back from the ocean... Nice new mech for Orange. It's a spiky orange.

I guess the main mysteries to get unravelled in the next season will be the reason behind Marianne's death, V.V. and the Geass now. Marianne already knew about the assassination before hand but yet, why did she send off her guards? And why was the coffin empty? Where did Schneizel move her corpse? What does C.C. have to do with it all?

Hmmm, lots to be unveiled. I guess it's kind of a fitting end because it ends the "rebellion". There's really no way Lelouch can start up another one.

In the last scene, I think Lelouch ends up getting shot since Suzaku is way too agile and he has the "Live" Geass on him. Nunally probably flashed across his mind just before he passed out or something.

Also, I can't help thinking this but... The scene of two best friends fighting one another reminds me too much of Gundam SEED's scenario. "ATHRUN!" "AKIRA!"

I think the part Kallen knew about Zero was that he was NOT a Japanese/Eleven. Not about him being a Brittanian. Cause being a britainian = enemy .

[DragoonKain3]

I love how CG makes you feel for both sides. On one hand there's the unyeilding loyalty of Cornelia's knights that makes you want to root for them, and on the other, there's the desperation of the OotBK.

And the old Viletta is back, kick ass! But I bet she won't admit she actually likes that guy, since she could've easily aimed for a critical point rather than his abdomen.

And I half expected the CCXLulu kiss, much to my chagrin. I mean, there's a reason why they showed the previous contractor; it isn't just filler...

And more Lasharta vs Lloyd goodness, the eternal rivals. And Cecille kicking ass too? Fun fun fun.

Milly and Shirley also had screentime, w00t! Milly concerned about students of her school, as expected of student council prez. And Shirley having absolute faith in Zero? Look out CC, your rival in love is still alive and very much kicking. :P

If the show ended there, then CG would've terribly disappointed me. But since there's a second season, it's all very good with me. Now I wonder where Zero would get his army, when he all but deserted them in mid battle... Bring on stage 26!
