Friends, Kalulus, Shirlulus, lend me your ears!
I came to this forum with a dream. A dream of discussing the wonderful Code Geass anime in a civilized and respectful environment, while meeting new people and gaining new perspectives. And I’d say, for the most part, that dream has been fulfilled. However, it would be foolhardy for me to ignore the considerably deplorable behavior in which some of us, in the past, have conducted ourselves. I assure you I am not here to point fingers, name names, or lay blame for past misdeeds, but I rather I come before you today in the hopes of laying the foundation for a new era of peace and prosperity.
Now, it is my experience that a good deal of the conflict in the past had arisen from debates and arguments regarding the pairings of Lelouch. More specifically, it seems much of the heated debate had resulted from feuds between those who pair him with Kallen and those who pair him with Shirley, I myself being part of the latter group. But let’s take a minute to observe these three characters, why don’t we?
Exhibit A
Lelouch vi Britannia, A.K.A. Lelouch Lamperouge, A.K.A. Zero
The deceitful, manipulative and impassioned prince of Britannia and leader of the Black Knights.
Exhibit B
Kallen Kozuki, A.K.A. Kallen Stadtfeld
The ace pilot of the Black Knights with unrivaled ferocity and loyalty.
Exhibit C
Shirley Fenette
The poor, tortured, yet endlessly optimistic Ashford student.
They are each very important to the story and all quite fascinating in their own right, but to think that they could be the root of so much conflict and unneeded hate between two respectable groups. In the past these two groups have fought to justify their pairings, trying, perhaps, to get ahead of the other and “win” the shipping war. They both had their ups and downs, witnessing events that worked for and against their ships, but in the end no clear canon pairing came through. After which the two groups gathered whatever bits of evidence they had left and used them to argue their cases, leading to fierce debates and ugly words all in the name of deciding which pairing was “closest to canon.”
But I say to you now that that era is over. The age of petty quarrels and nonsensical squabbling is at an end. If we are to function as a community than change must be made. We can no longer live the way we used to with one side trying to dominate the other. I say to you today that, in regards to Kalulu and Shirlulu, that there was no winner! Neither side came closest to canon, but rather they were, and always will be, evenly matched.
Now do not misunderstand me, I am not here to day to tell anyone what to think, believe, or prefer. We all have our favorite ships, and we all take joy in appreciated and embracing whatever appeals to our personal preferences. However, now that the series is over and almost all major supplementary material has been released, it is high time we officially recognize the equality of these two ships. I have seen the same evidences that you all have and it is clear that the staff of Code Geass never meant for there to be a clear winner.
Therefore I hereby announce the formation of the Kalulu Shirlulu Equality Alliance! As a group we will fight for the belief that Kalulu and Shirlulu are equal in both validity and probability, and all are welcome to join. You will find a link at the end of this post.
I have delivered the stroke, now the ball is in your court my fellow shippers. I trust you will see the truth and together we will be able to bring forth a new age free of useless feuding where Kalulus and Shirlulus can stand as equals.

*that is "hear me" bakashi (Yeah first english correction ever, ahahaha I'm not the only baka student in the Asuki english class) XD*
Hey, what is that !
They say "Make war, not love"
...
But You used the Pic which I always said was speaking the truth, back in S1.
And even though that will not make me stop disagreeing with you here, a club for the two girls Lelouch loved THIS way....please me.
So, this +...some others reasons... ok, I'm in it. (I can hear the "booh" yes I can !)
For the love of Lelouch's rest, let's praise those two girls in a little area of peace.
And bleh at the harem idea. Kalulu at the same level that others random ships ? Never.
And Darth, come on, Kallen's devellopment is hers and hers alone. The change of timeslot didn't hav to change the direction of the romantic devellopment, Kalulu was already present in S1, it didn't came out of nowhere.
And Well Morbo touched a sensitive point, maybe nothing happened cause Lelouch wasn't interested. Milly is nice and anything you want but still, one can't blame Lelouch for not having the hots for every girl. He had his reasons for Shirley and Kallen, like let's say, romantic develloment, meaningful interactions ?
Lol Darthfury ? No romantic devellopment for Lelouch in R2 ? Okay so, Turn 2, 3, 5, 7, 9,...etc never existed ? There was romantic devellopment, simply not with the girl you want. The one who should be complaining are C.C./Lelouch fans, cause while there was still some devellopment (though they were really mistreated in R2, hey, payback is a bitch) the nature of this devellopment was totally unleft to personnal interpretation. They did clear that up and killed some hopes about some scene by the same way *coughTurn24cough*
For Milly, it was like 3 hints in the anime about her feelings and end of the convo. Nothing meaningful there. Even Nina got more to do with Lelouch in the end that Milly.
