You see how re-shaping that analogy still doesn't work? Lulu isn't just some rouge solider or department head, he's the top of the pyrimid...Without his instructions and strategies to command his men they cannot win, and as exhibited by the episode it is a complete catastrophe for them not to get his instructions and//or strategic aid...

Well Zero isnt even Japanese so why would he give a hoot about the liberation of Japan when Nunally's possibly in danger, not to mention Nunally is his Raison d'etre. What was Zero's reason for fighting in the first place? To make the world a safe place for Nunally to live in. Liberating Japan was no doubt just a stepping stone. Wouldnt it be foolish if Zero manages to liberate Japan but something happens to Nunally?(worst outcome:death)

He did NOTHING! How cold is he to sell out an entire society based on the principles inwhich his sis was the inspiration? Heck yeah better IS better, because "something better" is the difference between night and day if "better" means giving those guys a fighting chance as opposed to basically no chance...Lulu is too smart not to have any contingencies planned...He simply snapped once his sister was taken and he lost all association with the plan he created because of his sister...That's not good leadership at all...He took on the mantle of Zero, he should own up to it...

Nunally isn't just an inspiration, she is the most important reason why Zero's been fighting all this while. Besides there was no way Zero could have considered the possibility of Nunally being abducted to some remote island (teleport ftw?) especially since the OoBK had already secured Ashford Academy. Regarding why Zero did not raise a tactical commander in case he was MIA, it was because up till now Zero has been leading every OoBK battle and he did not consider the need to run off in the middle of a battle. I'd say that Nunally is Zero's weakness, just like Euphemia is to Cornelia.

Nunally's basically the world to Zero, hence his anxiety upon news of Nunally's abduction. If the person most dear to you is missing and in possible danger, first thing you would want to do is to personally confirm his/her safety. Leading his tropps to victory was probably the last thing on Zero's mind at that point of time. Erm and regarding geassing Suzaku, he already got geassed so its a no go
