It isn't entirely his fault though. Some of it surely because he left and I think Lelouch is aware of his part of the blame. V.V.'s interference certainly messed things up though one can't know what would have happened if he had not taken Nunnally.

No the Yagami Light factor is the first-person perspective in-terms of analytical and strategic prowess...It is also the ability each character has when it comes to owning who they are as characters...Instead of constantly questioning whether they've become this or become that, they just move forward, being deliciously proud of themselves in similar ways no matter the danger...There motivations differ slightly but each character is presented as if they were meant to be given this gift, because beneath the surface they were always the character they eventually became...

As for the rest there are so many surface comparisons my fingers would bleed typing it all...Hell just in ep 3 when he was counting down after Rollo geassed him, I half expected Mikami to start writing in his DN...That scene sounded eerily similar to Light's countdown in ep 39...Tactical inner-dialogue while trying to avoid surveillance, missions where he takes disguises to avoid Ray Penber like agents on his trail...Too much stuff dude, surely you're not missing all of this...The people who try to make it like Yagami and Lulu don't really have that much in common, are whistling past graveyards IMO...The similarities between the 2 is a HUGE reason I started watching and liking this show...

As for Lelouch blindly chasing after Nunally isn't that next episode?

I don't know...All I know is he's gonna be pi$$ed, but he surely won't just forsake everything again and go after her blindly because that would make for a cyclical embarrassment IMO...The writers have got to be better than this again...

well I guess we both have our own version of the YL factor.

the summary for next episode said "to seize the new governer-general of area 11" so I guess Lelouch is doomed to repeat history.(wow that was lame.)

Nah. Last time he tried to seize the Governor-General and got distracted when his sister was kidnapped. This time he's trying to seize the Governor-General which will BE kidnapping his sister.

Actually, the Black Rebellion wasn't about capturing the Governor-General. It was capturing Tokyo.

Dann of Thursday · 2008-05-07, 22:42

Yes, but capturing Cornelia was a key part of that plan.

Only to get info on his mother.

Dann of Thursday · 2008-05-07, 22:57

No, that was only part of it. He was going to capture her and use her as a hostage.

well, it would have also had a severe demoralizing effect on Guilford and co., as Cornelia herself acknowledged when she told Suzaku to stay quiet about her being injured. >_>

I'm kinda wondering.

If she was that badly wounded how did she evac herself and go into hiding?

Do we know if she moved by HERSELF?

Dean_the_Young · 2008-05-08, 09:27

When did they say that she even lived? Granted I had a mediocre sub, and I haven't read outside info, but I thought that her last scene was a "I'm dying, but don't tell them so they don't panic" kind of situation.

KrimzonStriker · 2008-05-08, 09:29

It's already been confirmed in both magazine previews and by Guilford himself that she's just MIA at the moment Dean....>_>

Kusaja · 2008-05-08, 12:32

Another question would be...would Cornelia be willing to forgive Lelouch for killing Euphie, even if she "understands" what led him down that road?

I think she'll be conflicted...maybe she won't be too forgiving, when she shows up again, and even if she does something against Britannia that doesn't mean she won't try to get revenge.

Hence why I qualified it with "mediocre sub" and "did not read outside material." I didn't know where, which is why I asked in the first place.
No need to get >_> with me.

I think she'll at least let him go for Nunnally's sake, even if she may not forgive him. For all her talk of revenge, Cornelia's balanced enough mentally to come to terms with Euphie's death without going on a crazy revenge spree. (As clearly shown by the fact it's been weeks since Zero returned and she's still nowhere to be seen. Which either means she's not obsessed with eliminating Lelouch or the Emperor's captured her...in which case she'll direct her anger at him >_>)

MIA? Wasn't it just hiding/missing?

Methuselah · 2008-05-08, 19:19

MIA means missing in action. There for she is not hiding according to their desire and knowledge.
