How am I proving that? That's your sense of delusioned logic. You're interpreting and reassessing everything to suit your delusional beliefs, it's why you see a small portion of the show and disregard the rest.

I said she's a major contributor, I never said they could pull this off alone. Given the number of endlaves, they would've died going at it alone.

What reasons did I list? Do you not understand that if he kept his cool demeanour, the rest of the school would've seen him as weak? Why would you want a weak leader? Back then he was idolizing Gai, and was lost trying to figure out how to be just like him. He woke up and made his own decisions influenced by no one. Those decisions may seem morally responsible, but don't forget the hopeless situation they're stranded in. There were no alternatives, if you think there are then list them!! All I hear from you is how your contradicting everything, even though your "sense of right" is completely illogical.

If you have a narrow minded view you're obviously gonna agree with Shu
Your wrong that isn't the image the show wants to portray. And no, realistically speaking, just keeping this whole act up seemed impossible. I see no alternative with Shu being nice. Hare died due to the weaker voids need to prove a point. If she hadn't died there, many more kids would've died due to the freedom they had, her death woke him up.

How could more lives be saved given the situation? Were talking about a sealed off city, that's highly contaminated by a virus, and that gets frequent raids by huge robots with guns. Also the border shrinks, so they know they won't die off starvation but execution. You think everyone's in a peaceful state of mind?

I'm the one with the narrow mind, even though you disregard everything said.

He's human. Why would he dither the only relationship he has left? Your comparing him to some idol dictator, which has never existed.

This is exactly what I'm talking about, your deliberately going out of your way to sabotage Shu even if evidence is biting you in the ass.

Also there's nothing that states that he join Arisa's rebellion nor that he knew what was going on, he's not even there during the scene and the last time we saw him he was talking to Kanon
Ahaha, go rewatch the episode, they were all updated on when to rebel on Arisa's signal. When he talks with Kanon, he overheard everything yet he does nothing.

Well obviously he was betrayed, why would they keep him around after what they endured, as you said. He also did most of the work, if he was that selfish and horrible tyrant you make him out to be, then he would've had the school go up against the tower alone. Yet he showed remorse when he saw his own so called people die at the start of the battle.

Also Yahiro wasn't the one who told Shu to be an ass and Shu could have said no to any of Yahiro's plans if he wanted
No apparent reason? Instead of speculating, he clearly told Inori in episode 16 that he did it to ensure everyone gets out of Tokyo. And he kept his word. He also made such a regime to prevent others from repeating what Souta did. Sure people died, but it was inevitable, people die in wars he isn't some god that can save everyone with the blink of an eye.

How could he deny Yahiro when he didn't know what his agenda was? Your putting Shu fully to blame, even though everything was Yahiro's idea. He's the one who brought the Void ranking sheet to Shu. He's the one who saw Hare die from her void. He's the one who covered everything up, and then deserted him at the end.
He used and manipulated Shu till the very end, and when Shu gets worse after he learned what he kept from him, instead of announcing everything to the school himself, he tries to save his own ass and joins Arisa.

I am just saying you don't need to discuss on something that was clearly illogical. Unless there is a valid reason why her Void wasn't used,it's,in my eyes,it's a plot hole.

Also,I think it is pointless to talk about Shu's actions because the whole "school" part was so fast,things happened fast and balance constantly shifted.

It's as illogical for the students to rebel against Shu as it is for Shu to leave the military part for people who are as dumb as him if not dumber.

Now,if the school part was in,say,8 episodes instead of 4,it would have been a much better story and there would be actual material to talk about. Too bad the way things are,a lot of things don't make sense.

This'll never end, and your constant harassment is annoying.

To you Shu is the devil himself. To me he's a misunderstood child doing the best he can given the situation. I never once said what he did was morally right, but faced with such circumstances, I found it necessary to their survival.

Whether you agree or disagree, doesn't matter to me in the slightest. The only reason I kept up this charade was due to your bashing.

I agree with syke123.

Guilty Crown, to me, is more like a sociological or psychological based series, than an action/sci-fi series.

Shu has been used by almost everyone. He was going to used by his sister, who wanted to start a new race with him, inadvertently causing Lost Christmas. He was used by Gai since he had the void genome. He was used by Yahiro and the school to take care of them, since he was the only one who can supply them with limitless weapons.

In every situation, he was betrayed.

As for the school situation, I don't think Shu was taking care of just his class, but all of the students that reside in school. You have to be a strong leader in order to control the masses. If you look at it in the social aspect, Shu's typical personality wouldn't cut it for running a school of people that have limited supplies, have to eat, and could potentially die from the crystal cancer.

If your a soft, gentle person, whose going to listen to you if you can't even put your foot down. Shu knew that and Yahiro knew that. You have to act like someone who can control the power that you're given, even if your not liked or disliked. Even if they don't like your direct actions, as long as you can keep control, people will respect you and they did respect Shu for time that they did.
