If your expecting a confirmation you may as well also expect the Pope to visit your house and annoint you to Cardinal status.

[Dream_Traveller]

Apparently many people don't remember that it was Urabe that got killed by attacking Rolo's Vincent in Turn 2...

If she keeps on switching sides depending on what he says then I wouldn't call it love. But I'll leave it at that it comes down to point of view I guess.

Still, you dismiss the fact that many R2 scenes were critical for her character. Added to the interactions they had in S1 and the crush she had developed for Zero, that should be enough a reason for her to fall in love. Add in the fact that at the very end she did understand perfectly who was the real Lelouch, and then you have all the reasons you would need to believe she actually loved him.

I am not assuming. He had no reason to tell her not to die otherwise. He tells her don't die and she replies Who do you think I am? With him saying That's right isn't it? What else would you make of it. And I am sure she says 'Lelouch you must win/succeed against the odds' or something.

He has one reason : irony.
Especially since just before that line he saw her die many times in her memories. That would just not make any sense if he forgot something he saw minutes ago.

But you're right that she does say him to win, my bad. Actually what it mirrors is the line where he asks her if she's fine after the memory connection : in both lines she answers him "who do you think I am?".

Because he is Lelouch and the writers wanted him to have a harem rather than a OTP

Or, he just didn't care that much about those kisses.

Me too. I guess it's just different opinions. I didn't reply to you to begin with. I was replying to Lie who was being quite assertive about Kallen being his love interest. I was just saying it it was not clear and it was never intended to be. They always wanted to please everyone. The ending itself proves that.

Well, I replied you mainly because of the "they hardly ever interracted" comment, which is just wrong would it be only because of all the interactions they had in S1 (either as Zero or as Lelouch Lamperouge) and in the begining of R2 (and I will list ep1, ep2, ep3, ep5, ep7, ep9, ep10, ep19 and ep22 as definite interactions between them, and all the talks with Nunally which did lead Kallen to understand Lelouch better). Not seeing those scenes as interactions would mean to be in denial.

If that is the case then I will reply to your post in the appropriate thread. The ending itself proves nothing, is more the point. But I'll address this in my formal reply.

Well good news Banpresto, like with every Sunrise series, owns part of the Code Geass license so we can expect it to appear in any of the upcoming SRW installments in the next two to four years or depending how long it takes for the next installment to come out since the series is too popular to ignore for long. As for original works I work love a Lost Colors sequel.

I'll repeat myself here. I wouldn't define what she feels for Lelouch as love. A crush an love are two completely different things. I'll understand if you say she had some feelings for him which could have eventually developed into love had they been together; but that is certainly not MY definition of love. And Kaguya also understood in the end but whatever

And he still cared enough to tell her not to die. Whether he remembered it or not

It was in one of the flashes he saw while he was dying.

All the talks with Nunnally amounted to nothing, so I don't know why you are putting those here. What I was trying to say was, she mainly knew him through other people, - like C.C. and Nunnally. That is the main reason she couldn't trust him. She didn't get to know him herself. She didn't spend enough time with him alone. Not that that was her fault or anything, but she didn't know him enough to be able to love him.

not are all tender moments. If you count his number of interactions and the time he spent with CC since the season 1, you will be surprised.

The point seems rather moot, she was ready to die with him if he told her the right thing. She had no evidence to it, no reason to trust his word in such a situation, which means that she'd have to have trusted him genuinely. Its what happens afterwards, Lelouch's ultimate mask, that makes her doubt him, but at that point everyone doubts him, even Nunally. The only people who don't are those who are always conveniently present for the unvailing of the plan.

How many of those are 'tender' moments? 4 or 5 of them? Season 1 was about building Lelouch's character, establishing a base. It had nothing to do with who likes who except for Shirley and Euphemia to Lelouch and Suzaku, respectively. This isn't about comparing tender moments #1 to tender moment #2, everyone has had tender moments with Lelouch, its a question of which moments had no reason other than a romance angle, and I'm pretty sure Kallen and Shirley have that easily monopolized.

So he might get his chance at a directors cut with a new Code Geass, if it is given to him.

I do agree with you. After all remakes are a trend these days!

I never said they all were, and I was talking only of Kallen and Lelouch. CC has nothing to do wit that.

If he told the right thing? What did she learn about him then? I don't think C.C. would doubt him. She is not other people. Others only know him as Zero she knew Lelouch right?

Again your opinion. I would see Code Geass as both the seasons. But you can separate them and see what you want.

You're free to interpret it as you like. Just don't say they barely interacted with each other, as it is false.
Kaguya understood ZR, as well as some of the BK. But none of them did get to know, Zero, Lelouch Lamperouge and Lelouch vi Brittania (read: Nunally's brother, not the evil emperor mask Lelouch was wearing). Only 4 people did get to know those 3 personalities : Nunally, Suzalu, CC and Kallen.

And he still cared enough to tell her not to die. Whether he remembered it or not

Or, he just teased her.

It was in one of the flashes he saw while he was dying.

Kallen's kiss was in it too, and t was even one of the few he paused on.
Anyway, that doesn't mean he cared enough about the kiss to consider CC his lover or anything.

All the talks with Nunnally amounted to nothing, so I don't know why you are putting those here. What I was trying to say was, she mainly knew him through other people, - like C.C. and Nunnally.

Not that that was her fault or anything, but she didn't know him enough to be able to love him.

You're wrong : it amounted to all the things that made Kallen understand Lelouch. At the end of the talks, she asks herself whether the real Lelouch is the cold and manipulative Zero persona, or Nunally's loving and caring brother. After ep 22, she first assumes the first answer is the correct one, and in ep 25, she finally understands that the real Lelouch was actually the caring brother, something she couldn't have guessed without her talks with Nunally.

What are you talking about? They were ready to shoot her and him. She trusted him enough to stand infront of him, without hesitation, and try to defend him. That is trust. All she wanted from him, before dying, was a reciprocation, nothing implied that she'd move away from him. The only reason she moved was because he broke her feelings to save her. Your points are getting more and more stretched.

That was about both seasons. -_- Care to try again?

She didn't interact enough to really know him. When she was imprisoned she thinks to herself after hearing Nunnally's stories - which one is the real Lelouch? That means she didn't know him well.

That was definitely not a tease. Did you even watch that scene?

That she assumed the first answer was the correct one itself proves she didn't know Lelouch. How many times has she fallen for his lies? I'll agree it was bad writing and they made her character look really stupid but in any case, she didn't know him that well.

Then no one knew Lelouch, not even the one person no one will argue that he truly loved, and you can't argue that C.C. knew him better on this point, because she was present for the actual unveiling of the plan.

[FoxxFireArt]

I was actually expecting more from the magazines seeing how that was the finale. Something with some questions posed to the director or VAs.

Maybe they are saving all that for a source book or something.
