But then again, present your POV with good points, and you are set. {maybe there are not enough evidences to back CCxLulu. Just saying.}

Nah. C.C. being Lelouch's sheild is enough for me. It's just that , Romance wasn't really concentrated much. And C.C. rarely appears , especially on R2. Things that made me a CluClu were the ones where Lelouch said he wants to make her smile. Their unique relationship. They didn't care much about each other at first. But Lelouch started to get attached to her.

I find Episode 25 R1 rather funny and a bit cute. The part when C.C. kissed him. Then he says "C.C., Don't die.". It's like he forgot she was immortal because of the kiss. And his smile towards C.C...
I should stop. I'm just boring you with my CluClu stuffs. Gomen ne~

I could so go somewhere with this. I feel t3h internet rage building. But no, I'll let it lie. Cluclu has for the most part moved on with the show ending. Shirlulu lost much when, well, shirley bit the bullet. They tried to gain import with the idea of shirlely & lelouch in heaven together, but Kalulu fans just dont care. Kalulu fans get the best developed romance, additional side materials and other fun stuff that keeps them posting & posting. They're tenacious, sorta like Kallen.

Ugh...Despite CluClu having waaaay more votes than Kalulu , I still don't know why my comrades are so quiet. ROFL.

Fire? That would require shippers to argue in a kinda aggressive way, and i can't see any CCxLulu fan around except one or two. xD

While true of Cluclu-ers, the Shirlulu's have been out in force for the past month, month & a half or so? The best way to get a rise on the boards now is to either say Shirlulu is crap, or kalulu is crap. Either side will rise up in holy rage against the other. For a while, its was Kalulu + Cluclu vs. Shirlulu, though this alliance seems largley to have dissapated.

This is somewhat a shame, I got along alot well with most Cluclu fans. They're a largely nice & agreeable group of individuals supporting the pairing they support.

Shirlulu and Kalulu are DEFINITELY not crap.

[dec4rhapsody]

Ok I'll do that.
Shirlulu is crap.
Kalulu is crap
Cluclu is crap
Lamperouge-cest ftw!

[Spring_sakura111]

Shirlulu ain't crap.
Kalulu ain't crap.
Cluclu ain't crap.

Nina X Table-kun WINS!

And Schneizel and Kanon, chuu~~ ♥

I think your post might be lacking the necessary sincerity to actually get a rise outta people.

Now, a post explaining in detail why Shirlulu makes no sense, that would get a rise.
For instance, how shirley has absolutely no redeeming characters traits, she's a rather blind follower, she's not all that bright might get shirley fans upset. I'd offer Kallen examples, but she's pretty much perfect so its not possible. C.C.'s kinda hard to do the same to as well, though I think the age thing is a bit creepy myself.

It most certainly would. Sol Falling would eat the person alive.

Many CluClu fans are still living in exile after the mighty Kalulu invasion that occurred around turn 7+

Logic bombs were dropped constantly, blood was spilled, there was much gnashing of the teeth. Only the strongest and toughest CluClu veterans remain.

I've got the entire history chronicled right here

Spoiler for The Chronicles of the CG Romance thread Shipping War:

At the end of R1 Shirlulu and CluClu are battling at the front lines but "general consensus" is that CluClu dominance will prevail. An upstart ragtime Kalulu army barks from afar but has no bite, Kalulu is seen as an afterthought by their enemies.

The three way war begins with the promise of romance in R2. The CluClu expectations are high and the Shirlulu army is marked by underlying doubt. As they do battle, the sly Kalulu army lies in wait.

Around R2 EP 7 there is sudden and shocking sight as warriors of the Kalulu Empire poured down the hillsides with a loud and tremendous rebel yell.

An ambush no one foresaw!

The quick powerful and decisive blitzkrieg by the Kalulu Empire runs off all but the most die hard CluClu fans from the thread. The Shock and Awe tactics formed by the leader Genghis Var brings Kalulu to the height of power. Logic bombs are dropped, casualties and collateral damage are high.

The thread is essentially conquered and the Kalulu warriors look forward to landing the much anticipated final blow of hot wild Kalulu sex on screen.

Following Shirley's death and the systematic collapse of the Shirley faction. Kalulu dominance is never truly challenged for awhile. Many Kalulu warriors rejoice in the apparent victory though the absence of their Goddesses for an extended period leads some to be concerned.

Then a downward spiral begins.

Turn 15's reinforcement of CluClu hopes aides the faction in staving off complete destruction.

An alliance of mutual hatred for Kalulu is formed between the scattered yet surviving Shirlulu Knights and the powerful last line of defense of the CluClu factions.

Severely weakened by constant fighting on different fronts, the banning of the Glorious leader Var, the surge of morale destroying Gino propaganda, the apparent mismanagement of certain aspects of Kallen's development, and the alleged Waterloo of Turn 22+ (NO KALULU SMEX!) the Empire can no longer hold strong and crumbles into a shell of its former self.

The alliance pushes back the Kalulu Empire.

Defeat seems imminent but does not come. The ambiguous ending defeat of all ships leads to a tentative peace. And for awhile at least, there is no fighting. All is good in the romance thread.

But wait! Arisen from the ashes, the Shirley faction fueled by leaders from the past (SOL) suddenly becomes proactive. Using the same shock and awe tactics once expertly handled by Kalulu Empire the Shirley faction strikes furiously at the heart of its enemies. For the first time the Empire faces strategically aimed Logic bombs and it seems that all may truly be lost.

The surprising aggression from the Shirlulu group leads to a compromise between CluClu and Kalulu to try and withstand the Shirley uprising. The turmoil is quelled but deception is at hand.

Taking advantage of the situation the CluClu faction reenters its alliance with the temporarily tamed Shirlulu group. The anti kalulu alliance returns and the attacks are swift and brutal. Secrets from the social board are revealed, Kalulu leaders are stigmatized, a backlash of massive proportions comes underway in an effort to finally break the wills of the weak Kalulu Empire.

Things looked dire for the Empire! But alas the sleeping giant was only bidding its time. The Manhattan "side projects" were underway. Picture dramas and official books were in the process of being translated. Armed with "as close to canon" weapons the Kalulu counterattack begins. And the results are horrifying, a second epic blitzkrieg in the making.

The anti klaulu alliance is forced back into a defensive position and they only hope they can withstand the sudden surge.

Will the romance thread once again fall into the hands of the Empire? Or will the alliance hold them? Can there be a winner? Is a three way peace the only way to end the wars?

Only time will tell.

That's back when Var was still here. He's been banned for a really long time. Anybody know when he can come back (if ever)?

[dec4rhapsody]

CluClu mode switching on

Someone should draw a CluClu fanart out of this:

Spoiler for example of 魔王と魔王の妻 (demon king and queen) from the Musou series~hotlinking from KW:

I had the custom title but Var is the one who paved the way for the bombs. Kaluluers followed his lead.

I think he's banned for good unfortunately.

Well, that's more of an assault on Shirley's character rather than the Shirlulu ship itself. And hell, I'll be the first to agree that Shirley isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but she often did have some words of wisdom to share (the "true love" and "forgiveness" speeches) and ultimately if it is true love than that shouldn't matter. Well, I won't go any further, especially since I'm not sure how serious you were when you said that

[Pandonetho]

I didn't like Shirley at all, and I liked Kallen even less (both as romance characters for lelouch.)

I just find it attractive that this woman, C.C. who's lived all eternity and has been through so much, and seems partially emotionless at first, just wants to be truly loved. And she finally one day meets a man (lelouch) who is different from anyone that she's ever met before. Their relationship is nice, since they both seem to have other objectives, yet so many people want them both to hook up.

And when C.C. kisses lelouch it's hawt. Like, there's no hesitation or anything, she just goes in for a quick lip to lip. I hate it when Shirley is all crying and whatnot and she kisses lelouch, that type of love isn't the type that appeals to me. I also liked to think that the kiss in r1 ep 25 was kind of meant to be like, a goodbye kiss.

[Nobodyman9]

Ah, another CluClu shipper. Spring Sakura will be riveted.
