[mayumi]

hmm, the only reason i wanted to hear the name is cause c.c wanted to hear some one say it with all the love and care from their heart.

Maybe that's why C.C. is smiling so vibrantly in the preview?

Spoiler:

She looks like she has something to confess with her hands behind her back like that

You mean:

Lelouch: *insert CC's name**, I love you.
CC: OMG!!?!? INORITE?!? LIKE I LUV U 2?!?


Yeah, I can only dream.

So, now, in retrospect. What was the point of CChi? I had thought that maybe the bit about friends would amount to something but... it didn't since Lelouch lost most of his friends. I also don't count Moe as a reason to be relevant to the story or of having a point, not for more than a fraction of one episode.

So... what was the point of it? We know C.C. did it to herself, it was undone in a fraction of a second, and did nothing but remove C.C. from the plot for 4 or 5 episodes.

Perhaps another case of wasted time? Oy.

Or just the way to show innocent C.C. and the way to get screentime for the other characters.

For what purpose? A character exposee does not need 5 episodes to be accomplished. We saw that Tamaki had a courageous side in all of 10 seconds.

Especially since innocent C.C. =/= C.C. proper.

[SonOfHeaven]

Waste of time in my opinion. Served no purpose CChi.

im still thinkin it was for that character to appear at the end or something and not be totally out of the blue. like vv, if cc loses her code she go back to being pregeass right? so itd make sense if the code is taken by lelouch or just destroyed somehow. otherwise id go with waste of time.

I still fail to understand why some people ask questions while they have already an opinion which will not change.

That's rather harsh, I asked an honest to goodness fair question. If someone gives me an answer that isn't pulled out of their behind, I'd accept it.

Well, it rounds out her character in my perspective. We know she wasn't always like this, that at one point she was a child much like the rest of us, deep down she still is that child much like the rest of us, from my perspective anyway. Well like the Code Geass characters anyway, look at Suzaku and Lelouch. Their old saying of being able to do anything as long as they were together is starting to bear fruit. It also highlights her importance as Lelouch's confidant when they removed her for a while... and Tamaki still has time to do more heroic stuff now

My opinion:

She didn't want to face lelouch imo so she sealed herself, why? I don't really know and she refused to say why she didn't want to die to marianne.....

And maybe the writer wanted her to be unable to help lelouch. They wanted lelouch to be alone.

So, we still have to know why she did that. She will say it, if we're lucky.

We already knew that though. We saw it in the episode itself, not to mention from flashbacks in Season 1, they did not need to turn her into a child for five episodes.

When she removed herself for a while, remember she did it willingly. And how does that show her role as confidant? O-o

but she left him to suffer hows that a good thing?

i agree that the writer wanted her out of the plot but they sacrificed perfect oppertunities to develope her and lelouch. she did nothing in that time which was the question wasn't it? what was her purpose? which seems to be: nothing, jus buy tme.

I thought it was more for the fact that, the past was not dead in this respect. That her beginning had not been shrouded by her experience, and that the hopes and traits she had back then were very much still alive, very much still a part of her. And c'mon, she didn't really get that much screen time in the episodes so it didn't really amount to much in terms of space. It might have taken a while but we had a lot of other developments as well, especially concerning Lelouch's descent before his resurrection in Turn 21.

By the fact that he does need her support, all of her support in the end. Unfortunately CChi wasn't enough by herself despite her best attempts, hence the second bandage scene in Turn 19.

She feared something, or as I said, wanted to not face him, i think.

I have an opinion about why but I think the people here will no be happy to know what, so I will not say anything

I will just say that maybe she will say why before dying somewhere in 24 or 25.

And there is also the band aid. I thought the hand and the ring finger choices were on purpose, but apparently it was just for the lulz.

Hu? They showed us everything about C.C.'s childhood in the episode, filling in all the blanks for the flashbacks. CChi had no role in fulfilling that. All it showed was that she was in the wrong time. They did not develop anything about her character during this. They just had her act moe and run around.

Not much screen time? Five episodes of her character acting moe was a good bit of screen time, which wasted perfect time to develop her actual character not some figment of the past.

What? He did fine without her. He nearly even succeeded in his plan while she sat on her moe-butt. Hence my point, she did nothing not even show that he needed a confidant because, simply, the one time that role was available in Ep.19, Kallen usurpsed it.

[KrimzonStriker]

Just to point out, Lelouch is suddenly not the be all and end all character despite the fact that the series portrays him as such. Other characters have their own issues to deal with, C.C included. Hence the whole retreat into her mind bit

[Narona]

KS VS Var debates sometimes remind me of a dog chasing its tail. They just keep going and going in circles...

sorry didn't resist
