It won't be rushed at all if he ends up with Kallen. If the pieces fall into place right it will even be the expected ending, but as it stands the expected ending is 'no one' because the pieces are still in the air and the safest guess is usually the best. Ockham's Razor. As for C.C., as I said, the likelihood of that occurring is dropping because this is nearing the end of Code Geass. This is not the middle, this is the final 3/4 of the show.

Harry Potter is shit-literature in comparison to everything ever. It is not to even be remotely considered as anything but an example of how not to end a story. If you wanted to cite an actual story that keeps the secrets till the very end, then you'd probably want to mention the Dark Tower series. Where the true secrets did not come out until the end of the final book.

Code Geass is to a degree about mystery, but the overall story is about the struggles of people to change the world. That is what Code Geass is about. Much like LotR.

Anyway, I'll be happy if they do reveal everything this week, but I don't think it's likely.
Ugh. To who C.C. is now, it does not matter what her name was. To the audience it matters, to C.C. it does not. She is now C.C.. I don't give a damn and two cents about the audience (which is what the writers are referring to) and giving everything away. I am talking about what it means to the characters. To Lelouch and C.C. it doesn't mean anything because that is no longer her name, she is now C.C..

Code Geass is nothing like Lost in any way, shape, or form. Could we stop trying to make comparisons to things that are not the same? This about as silly as saying this is like Orwell's 1984.

I actually think they will reveal everything about C.C., especially if it falls as a C.C. centric episode. At which point, the remaining secrets of Geass don't even have to come from her. They could come from Charles, V.V., or some random Geass user. So... Kallen still comes in later in terms of interaction with Lelouch.

No, if even by the simple fact of how little focus C.C. has had this season. She is no more a main character than Suzaku or Kallen. The only dominant main character is Lelouch.

Addressed. The only thing C.C. did was facilitate the Rebellion.

No matter what it is called, Geass plays a very important role, and C.C. is the key to that. If we knew everything about C.C. already the whole show would be spoiled, apparently, that's probably why she hasn't had much to do yet. They are saving her for the grande finale. At least that's what I think; it would make sense.
And in this "grande finale" as I like to call it, Kallen doesn't necessarily have a (big) part. After all, what does she have to do with Geass?

I imagine something like this: There is a big war going on and Kallen is fighting, doing her best(dramatically of course, ANIME-.-), while Lelouch and C.C. are somewhere in that...uh.. place wherever V.V. and the emporer are.
I think the main characters are Lelouch, C.C., Suzaku/Kallen and maybe Emporer/Nunally/V.V.. And I don't mean who has the most screen time. No, I mean who is really important.

Lelouch is the main character(duh), C.C. the witch/Geass giver that pretty much started the whole thing and is one of the shows mysteries, Suzaku is the counter part of Lelouch and they have an interesting relationship(friendship+hate), Kallen is the "ace" Knight, the Emporer and V.V. the "bad guys" and Nunally the reason why Lelouch is doing this.

In any way, Kallen may have had more "quantity", but C.C. has more "quality".

C.C. is not the only key to that, there are two others keys present. Charles and V.V. and as we've seen, Charles role in revealing the truth to his son has been increasing. Hell, even Orange is a key into the secrets of Geass now.

It is illogical to say that they are saving her for the end when this next episode is about Geass. Charles said it himself, this was the time for atonement, which means that the truth will be revealed. One cannot atone without truth. Take in the fact that, also, this next episode is likely C.C. centric, I cannot see how they can be saving her for a finale when they are about to shell her out next episode.

Then you must not have paid attention. Kallen is not involved, but she's trying to be involved. Someone has to save Lelouch from his self-destructive war on Geass.

Okay.

I chuckled. Kallen has had more of an impact on the whole pairing debate in ten episodes than C.C. had in an entire season. I think you've switched the words, Kallen has had all that much quantity, she's simply made the best of the time she gets around Lelouch. Her screen time with Lelouch, baring Episode 7, has been the same as C.C. with Lelouch for Season 2. Let's not get started on how much time C.C. spent with Lelouch in S1.

Geass may play an important role in the plot, but it is not the only thing in the plot. What constitutes a main character is not merely their place in the plot but also by how much the plot is driven by the character, their impact on other characters through interations and particularly their impact on the main character. So far in R2 C.C's role has been decreased and her impact on anything that is not geass related and particularly Lelouch's character development has been minimal at best.

I am not suggesting that C.C isn't important, but rather that it does not help her chances in the end if her involvement begins and ends with geass and has cut back from meaningful interaction with Lelouch. Of the three female characters, C.C Shirley and Kallen, C.C is the one with the least character development with Lelouch during the pivitol moments of his character in R2.

Also if the only major part that C.C is getting is in this "Grande" finale then it would lack the proper buildup. Saving her for the end is fine for the mysteries that surround her character, although it does get annoying when we are over three quarters into the series and essentially we know little more about her and the contract then we did at the start of season one though that is going to change next episode and I digress, but it still a poor excuse to ignore the development between Lelouch and the other two girls while C.C has been stagnating with little importance to add because the geass plot has not come up yet.

And assuming that she does get romantic development during the next episode as well, we still have Kallen's resolution lingering about that has yet been addressed. With C.C's past possibly being addressed next episode that may well be her part in the geass plot aside from the contract before we get into the Emperor's and V.V's god killing.

There hasn't been anything to show Lelouch loves Kallen. Whereas for LelouchxC.C. we have 1st season's overly discussed 'snow is pretty' and 'you are not alone, if you are a witch I'll become a warlock'. For me if they go with Kallen and Lelouch it will be strange. And it's not the final arc. That will probably be from the 17th or 18 episode.

I didn't ask for your opinion on literature. So I am not going to comment on that.
In any case you got my point - mysteries can exist in any genre.

Lord of the rings didn't belong to the mystery category, while Code Geass always did. If it was like you told, we would have known everything geass related from the start. It's not like Lord of the Rings where we knew everything from the start, except how it would play out.

I didn't say if it mattered to C.C. or Lelouch. They have kept her name hidden up till now, it means they like keeping secrets from us.

I think it is similar. No one stopped you from thinking otherwise. Both the shows like to give out little information, and keep the big revelations for later. And each episode stands well on it's own. Both also are strong on characters.

Are you serious about this? You almost sound like Dann - C.C. will have no point after the 15th episode She is still the one who made a contract with Lelouch. She will still be his partner. So she will still be very essential. The fact that she has played such a minor role so far, increases her chances for a bigger role now.

I don't know. Lelouch and C.C. are partners, not Lelouch and Kallen. She still has to fulfill whatever wish she has.

I agree. You Kalulu fans can call it bad writing or whatever you please. But that they have ignored her so far only proves they are saving it for later.

Because there was no debate then. Until last season it was obvious it was LelouchxC.C And everything in the Kallen and Lelouch scenes, have only shown Kallen's feelings for Lelouch. They have been developing her love for him, not the other way round. He doesn't even miss her! Shirley didn't die for 2 episodes after Kallen was captured. So don't tell me he had a lot on his mind. If they were trying to build Kallulu they would have shown something from his side. Don't bring up the "I'll rescue you for sure" again, because he would have done it for any of his friends. If anything, Lelouch ending up alone might be a big possibility.

Even if C.C.'s past is addressed in the next episode her wish still remains. She is not going anywhere.

For the love of something that is holy. There is no evidence that Lelouch loves anyone. There is none. None. None. None. None. That is purely spewing verbal diarrhea to be telling me that Lelouch has shown any 'love' towards anyone that isn't Nunally or dead. He cares for his friends, C.C. is a friend, but that is all. There has been no showing of him loving C.C..

And I'm sorry, but if we're going to be throwing around lines of supposed 'love', I might as well throw out the fact that Lelouch compared Kallen to Nunally in terms of precious things, but I'll address this later as it falls into another point.

I didn't say that was my opinion, that is the vastly agreed on opinion. My personal opinion of Harry Potter is that it was decent, ended awfully. Mysteries cannot exist in every genre. That is an argumentative fallacy. They can exist in most genres not in all.

My point is that the affects on the audience mean diddly squat if they had no affect on the characters. Lelouch knows her name, but he doesn't use it. C.C. knows her name, but she doesn't want to be called by it. They don't care. That is my point, it being revealed won't be some big + for C.C.xLelouch.

Then I might as well compare every action movie to Conan because every action movie follows a similar formula.

I did not say that she will have no point, nowhere in my post is any such bullshit written. All I said is that, Ep.15, will be when she will be shelled out. Not at the end of the series, not five episodes from now, but on Sunday. The rest of my point stands because it is, in fact, true. The secrets of Geass are not solely for C.C. to share because she isn't the only person who knows them. Charles knows, V.V. and Orange also know. What is wrong with my point that, aside from her own past, C.C. has no monopolized secret about Geass? Can you point one out? Her role after that is her contract and what that entails.

And Lelouch still has to fulfill his promise to Nunally, C.C., and Kallen. If the promise between Lelouch and C.C. makes them partners, then so does the promise between Lelouch and Kallen. That is only fair. Not to mention that just like how C.C. has a lot riding on Lelouch, so does Kallen. Both women have their hopes riding on his back.

No it doesn't. It proves that they haven't needed it for these last 14 Episodes. They could very well just tell us everything Sunday and kill C.C. for all we know. You have no time frame of guarantee.

The Romance Debate thread disagrees with you, posthaste. There was no obvious last season because there was barely any development of that subplot. There were 'possible' developments but none of them have yet to turn into anything concerning some romance and have developed into other things.

And you've got your facts wrong, Ep.11 when he takes China, Lelouch curses Suzaku for taking Nunally and Kallen, and even lists her as a precious thing. This is what I was speaking of at the beginning of all this. Also, tell me, how often does Lelouch speak of Nunally? He loves her more than anyone and yet she is only mentioned when he starts to plan for her. The same is applicable for Kallen. Lelouch has never been shown to worry about things that are not within his power. (Completely ignoring that part of his reason for going to Japan was to find Kallen.) I didn't even have to mention the differed promise that you're so hung up on as being 'applicable to all his friends', as there was further material shown... hence proving your point wrong.

Her wish could be solved at the end of Ep.15, you have no proof otherwise. Everything from here on is subjectivity and as such is not something I will even bother discussing.

I believe you are right. The two people Lelouch has shown feelings for were C.C. and Shirley. But he never showed real effection for Kallen. You're also right about him seemingly not missing Kallen all too much. Did he even think about her? Maybe I just forgot(that happens...). Please remind me before I get my hopes up high...

However I do believe he has feelings for C.C.. He probably just doesn't know it(come on, we're talking about Lelouch here, that daft boy). If she were captured I think he would at least spare a thought about her-.-. I mean, she is always there talking to him, helping him; she is the only one who truly knows everything about him, he would notice her absense(remember that scene where he had all these dates and he asked himself:" Where is C.C. now when I need her help?!" or something like that^^). Kallen doesn't know him like that.

He only wanted C.C. because he is inept at romance and she's not.

Him not missing Kallen much is due to the poor and awkward way they wrote her off. Nobody in the Order seems worried about her, nevermind Lelouch.

Var addressed those points in his post right above yours, but just for conversation sake, when has Lelouch ever shown any romantic feelings towards C.C or Kallen for that matter.

Lelouch mentioned one of his reasons for going back to Area 11 was to look for Kallen. And how often to we see Lelouch drop his Zero persona in front of others like when Kallen was taken prisoner? How is that not caring? Lelouch is just not one to drown himself in thoughts of things that are beyond his reach for the moment. You going to argue that Nunally is not important to him because he hasn't been thinking about her all the time as well? He also grouped Kallen in with the "precious things" that Suzaku has taken from him, like Nunally, how is that not caring?

Kallen may not know everything about Lelouch but just knowledge does not build a relationship. Who was the one that was able to pull Lelouch from the deeper part of his depression and who was the one hefting his Zero mask talking to someone else about not caring as long as Lelouch is alive. Loving someone means loving not just his life, Lelouch was about to lose his mind and C.C did not care enough to go talk to him. Kallen understood enough about him to know that he would possibly need someone to talk to after Nunally's speech, where he might go and concerned enough to go after him.

There has been no showing of him loving C.C..
Maybe not love, but he practically said C.C. is beautiful.

Then Shirley is also like Nunally because he was pretty devastated after her death. They are all like Nunally now, everyone is important to him since ep 7. He even tells Shirley he doesn't want to lose anyone anymore. That would explain why he didn't want Kallen captured.

What should it matter what many people think? I don't need the world to tell me what to like.

Should have worded it better...I meant most when I said all so it's ok

That was not my point. I said if they have yet to reveal her name, they are holding out on us until later. That makes C.C. important. Beacuse they have purposely kept stuff for later.

The secrets of Geass are not solely for C.C. to share because she isn't the only person who knows them. Charles knows, V.V. and Orange also know. What is wrong with my point that, aside from her own past, C.C. has no monopolized secret about Geass? Can you point one out? Her role after that is her contract and what that entails.
She alluded to knowing something, before killing off the cult members in the last episode. "With this probably Lelouch and me..."

haha I doubt they will kill her off on Sunday. Lelouch specifically asked her the contract details in the last episode. She refused to tell. Like I said, they are holding out on us. She may die in the last episode but she is not going anywhere yet.

I wasn't there last season but with how much they had focused on Lelouch and C.C., I don't think anyone really thought of Kallen having a chance.

He loves her more than anyone and yet she is only mentioned when he starts to plan for her. The same is applicable for Kallen. Lelouch has never been shown to worry about things that are not within his power. (Completely ignoring that part of his reason for going to Japan was to find Kallen.) I didn't even have to mention the differed promise that you're so hung up on as being 'applicable to all his friends', as there was further material shown... hence proving your point wrong.
He thought of Nunnally when Shirley spoke about love. They had also devoted an entire episode to show how much Nunnally could affect him. So there is no point in comparing Nunnally to Kallen. Nunnally will easily win. And he does talk about Nunnally every now and then. Also before episode 7, she was always on his mind.

I think her wish is too important to be solved in one episode. She wants to help Zero achieve his goals, only then will she talk of her wish.

... So? Complementing someone doesn't necessarily have romantic connotations.

We have no idea what she was going to say. She could be saying it's their "end", "contract", "where we part ways", etc.

The fact that they brought up the wish suggests it may be revealed quite soon, along with a lot of C.C.'s past.

After rewatching season 1 several times, I can solidly conclude that, barring that kiss at the end, there is no implication of romance. Even then, we now know the kiss isn't anything romantic. Most of Lelouch and C.C.'s interactions in the first season were about solidifying their partnership.

Lelouch is romantically inept, he can't distinguish between passionate romantic love (which was Shirley was referring to) and familial love (which was what he was thinking about). Nunnally was closest to him for a long while. He considered his half-sister Euphy to be his "first love". And it's probably a fault in his upbringing, for more than half his life he never interacted on a friendly level with anyone who wasn't royalty. So he treats everyone he cares for as if they were family.

For Lelouch it might have been. When did he ever tell someone else they look beautiful?

Looking back at it, yes. But at that time it was different.

That is what I was saying. Just because he promised to rescue Kallen, it doesn't prove he likes her more than a friend.

I say that conversely there's no proof that he doesn't like her more than a friend. It's all up for interpretation.

And just because he said a line that implies he thinks she is beautiful does not prove they are more then partners. If you are going to use the fact that Lelouch said something he normally would not have to try to link his feelings romantically with C.C then kindly do the same for Kallen as well. He dropped his Zero persona in front of other people inorder to say all that to Kallen when she was captured, since when has he ever dropped his Zero persona in front of the Black Knights and over the radio?

Hey! Putting it that way makes it difficult to refute without sounding like an aggressive musclehead. With that being said.... Don't "F" with Kallen, or Ill come over and knock your "Chicklets" out your mouth

Don't bother, if contesting a point one doesn't agree with makes one a muscle head then so be it. I'd rather not resort to name calling or generalizations on the fanbase to make my point.
