Code Geass R2 - Episode 1 Discussion / Poll

[Dann of Thursday]

It looks Britannian all right. I also notice the ruins in the background. It could be possible that he is alone, though I doubt it. He may be working directly for the Emperor. Considering he has been modified with the data from the Code-R project, he may be of use with securing those ruins for the Emperor.

That's possible given the fact that he was a Purist and very loyal to Britannia. lol Secret Agent Man.

That would be interesting but i would ask why as well?

With the way Suzaku was talking at the end i got the impression that we are going to see things between he and Zero get even more personal. Suzaku pulled the no one else will kill him line. Usually when a character pulls says this the battles get way personal. The emperor i am convinced this whole ordeal the conquering of Japan, siblings killing each other. the war. and him letting Lulu run wild is nothing but a game to him. To him the whole world is a chessboard and Lulu is his opponent.

Unless his loyalty to Marianne outweighed his loyalty to the Emperor, I don't see him being on Lelouch's side anytime soon.

actually seemed a lot like his loyalty to Marianne did outweigh his loyalty to the Emperor, at least from the picture drama focusing on him.

Thats a good catch although i tend not to trust OPs. Now if your theory is sound we have to ask why. The Emperor has shown no interest in her since Lulu took her and fled to Japan, she doesnt represent his beliefs of the difference between strong and weak people. The only value she holds is drawing Lulu out or keeping Suzuku in line which wouldnt be hard to do with his state of mind right now. If V.V. is connected with him then they are using Nunnley in their plan and that plan must involve something to get to C.C. and Lulu.

Hmm, that is true though there is no telling how he would react to finding out Lelouch was Zero, especially given his current state. Of course, there is always the chance Marianne and the Emperor are working together, but I have already voiced my doubts regarding that.

Actually, there are some indications that the Emperor may have some use for her, though it seems that if this is the case he treats her as nothing more than an object to be used for his benefit.

WTH? 18 pages already? Lol, even I don't have that much free time to read them all..

All in all, eps. 1 is basically eps. 1 of the last season, with a few bits changed here and there. Good start regardless; I'm as pumped as I was last season. Now all I'm waiting for is who's gonna be Suzaku's LI this time around. And yes, unlike the vast majority of people, I don't hate Suzaku lol. XD


Gotta say though, CC's 'uniform' from the OP looks much better than her straight jacket from last season. And it seems she isn't as icy as she was before; which is a good thing. About time the ice has started to melt, don't you say?

Other than it having to do with a Geass plot, or just to make Lelouch's life hell or give him some motivation. It comes down to the reason all villains take hostages from the heroes- A bargaining chip. He is at the very least a little bit scared of Lelouch. He knows Lelouch is gunning for him, and he knows about C.C. who is unaffected by Geass. Or at least those are the theories I can come up with right now.

Or he might be using the 40 post view. But this is very unimportant.

Wow, 36 pages and it hasn't even been 24 hours since the anime aired. At the time of this posting, there are 224 votes for Episode 1, which is quite amazing I think (it has to be some sort of record on Animesuki ). I won't name names, but we already have 2 awesome fansub groups committed to this series - not to mention both released in less than a day of CGR2 airing in Japan.

Regarding the episode, I really like how R2 is paralleling season 1's first episode. Some here called it boring, but I thought it was a really nice touch to get people to reminisce the events that occurred in season 1. Also, I am fairly certain I drooled a bucket full over Kallen's bunny suit. Hiding the suit's key between her breasts... mmm, not to be ecchi, but I'd pick up a gun and kill a few Britainnian soldiers to be that key right now.

All these mysteries are waiting to be unfolded. And thus the agony of waiting week by week for the next 24 episodes begins upon us.

And also, chalk up another PIZZA HUT STILL SUPPORTS THE REBELLION.

[feRfe]

what the hell happened in the last episode last season i completely forgot

how did lelouch lose his memories?
i thought it ended with suzaku shotting lelouch or so?

oh and HI bunny girl kallen!

[Dann of Thursday]

Pizza Hut may still be here, but I need some Cheese-kun to make it right. I'm actually hoping for Big Cheese-kun to go along with that penguin later on.

Ok I just watched it and I have a couple of questions.

Spoiler for Spoiler from Ep. 1:

1. From what it seems like, Suzaku was able to capture Lelouch and bring him back to Britannia where he had his memory altered. So near the end of ep 1, he regained his memories after CC restored them. So am I correct that during the 1 year time skip, Lelouch forgot his past because of the Britannian government? Apparently they were also able to get information about CC, hence why the troop's main goal was to kill her.
2. The remnants of the Black knights are scattered around and somehow were able to integrate themselves and apparently they were watching Lelouch all along. Am I correct in that during the 1 years time, they were waiting for Zero to return/gain his memories and organized that event at babel tower?

And... YES! Kallen is back with more style tha never before!!!

<----------- Driving the kallen bandwagon

Spoiler for Answer:

1. We don't have the full story, but this does seem to be the case right now. And it seems like Lelouch had his memory of his past altered. This does bring up the odd fact that I think the Student Council would have something to say about this.

2.Pretty much, with many of the key members in jail. It is unknown what took them so long as it isn't clear how long Lelouch had been back for. It is also possible that C.C. did not get back until later and they weren't able to plan anything until she got back.
