Code Geass - Spoilers & Speculation (take 3)

And the UFN has Kallen's SEITEN and Li (who can't, even with his Schneizel-level strategic ability, even figure out Lelouch's goal of world domination is a means, not an end).

BTW could someone re-post the 30-sec Turn23 teaser?

Well come on, it's not like I expect them to fight them both at once. Then we would really be in Gundam Seed territory. I expect them to stand back in Turn 23...let Lelouch and Schneizel beat the hell out of each other. At the same time...they are building their strength and preparing. Say Lelouch wins at the end of episode 24...his forces would be battered. That's when the UFN strikes. And it's the perfect time to kill that despicable monster.

In the extended preview, there's a flash of Anya's handheld device, showing a picture of the good old days at Ashford Academy. What I can conclude from this is that she misses that, and joins up with Suzaku and Lelouch.

I'm not denying that Anya may join the UFN/L-Britannia side during Turn 23, but regarding the escape mentionned in Turn 22, Sayoko is the most likely.

It doesn't mean she's looking at it mournfully or is particularly interested, she could've just been cycling through pictures. If anything I'd say that picture is more for the audience to look at so the writers can shove "Hey guys, this show is a tragedy! Look how much dissonance there is now compared to the lightheartedness earlier" in our face, as if we didn't figure it out yet.

Spoiler for Preview- Nunnally 'pressing' the button:

I watched that scene over and over, she DOESN'T press it. She sets her thumb on it.

I don't know, maybe something explodes around them, or someone shouts something. It could be any number of things, but there is ALWAYS a possibility.

Sorry for how long that took. Imageshack went screwy on me and then my internet decided to go on some crack.

Hey we all thought Marianne was a wonderful person, so why not Nunally? Schneizel acknowledges Nunally as empress. Thats pretty smart of him to not declare himself #1 and choose #2. So his ideologies might be that being #1 is susceptible to Damocles while #2 is the real one in power. When something happens to #1, #2 will either replace #1 or let #3 become the new #1. So in other words Schneizel (#2) is using #1 as a sacrifice to 'clear the board' of all opposition while moving in to become #1 himself with threat of Damocles over head. Well who knows how Schneizel's thought process works.

Nunnally doesn't ahve the guts to kill her onii-sama, its predictable, Schneizel wants ehr to press it and int eh end she decides not to and something even worse happens to her because she didn't follow orders like some pawn. brotherly love great isn't it

Maybe we'll have Jeremiah performing a glorious assault on Damocles, close enough to cast a Geass Canceller! Nana-chan will go trough the memory surge like Shirley. Then she will open her eyes and she will finally see Shunaizeru's evil smile!

[LBritannia]

Wait. Did Odysseus, Carine, and Guinivere got nuked?

For whoever asked for it, here is the extended preview again for Turn 23:

And I forgot to quote and am being lazy, so here is another response....

And I hate to say it, but the battle between Lelouch and Schneizel, even if the UFN sits out, will not damage Britannia's forces enough for the UFN to be able to successfully wipe Lelouch and Britannia out. Remember? The UFN's army is the Black Knights. All of the nations gave up their own individual armies. Not to mention the Chinese Federation is no more and is probably still in shambles from the Civil War and the BK's squashing the opposing forces in China. So it wouldn't be "UFN, let's take 'em out!", it would be like "umm... Kallen, Toudou, Gino... you are the only decent fighters we have to go up against Britannia. /emo tears" hehe.

I guess the latest episodes takes away any possibilities of Gino not pilotting the Tristan Twin... unless Nonette pilots it.

We don't know that yet. Yes, the Pendragon was nuked, but Lelouch also knew that it was in Schneizel's plans, so he could have easily moved everyone out of it and to safety. Cecile was at a safe distance, and I hardly doubt that was a coincidence. The only reason I think they would be nuked and dead is if Lelouch wanted it that way... purposely leaving them there so that Schneizel would have to kill his own siblings too.

Aww, he's not special enough to get a huge range like Rolo's did?
That sucks. And I liked his pretty blue fake-Geass.

I actually think Nunnally might keep her eyes closed a bit after that, just to fool those around her. But her eyes would be pretty screwed up trying to adjust to the different light levels and stuff..

Nonette is hijacking someone else's frame, I can see it now;
"Hey Gino, I have a big battle to fight and live only ten seconds in, mind if I take your Knightmare? Oh? Okay, Kthxbai!"
"...WTF?! YOU DUMB BROAD, GET BACK HERE!"

Looks like it, considering that they were in the capital.

NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED...

I don't Lelouch is that cold hearted they knew nothing I'm sure everyone were sent a away before it got nuked or else....

mmm not they got a new jobs they´re working as servants in god knows where... in the beginning og the episode carline and the one wih a tatoo on her breast were cleaning someone´s house?

[Witacume]

I been thinking where the Ootbk will be allying with.
Obviously if we go by intro and the preview it seems they will be fighting Schneizel.
Which makes me wonder how everything is going to play out.
Man the ending is making so nervous XD.

They're dead. Lelouch did not see that coming, at least not so quickly.

[killbethy]

And from the last episode, I'm starting to think Lelouch should have cast the "ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!!!" Geass on everyone from the very beginning, since it clearly gets people to do anything you want afterwards from house chores to joining the army!

Well, with the way that some people talked about Tristan Twin, it almost seemed like a confirmed fact that Gino won't be the pilot.

He's managed to outlive a lot of Knight of Rounds though, but if Nonette didn't have any important role in the plot, she should have gotten killed along with Dorothea and Monica.

Hell, take out Dorothea altogether since she wasn't completely useless other than showing off Albion's l33t one second blow up the Knightmare completely skills. Seiten needed to nuke the Knightmare for a few healthy seconds before they blew up, but Suzaku fires a shot and boom, bye bye KOR.
