Romance in Code Geass (Take 2)

And I'd like to think that he already had dormant feelings about her that are going to prevent him from moving on within ten+ episodes.

I don't want to even get into that scene where he tries to kiss her. To me, that's not love, affection, or attraction. It was just a pitiful move on his part.

And it seems I've missed these scenes where he's flirting with Kallen... oh well.

Those we can do without, they just slowed the plot down a notch

Oh, no, "flirting" isn't the right word for those situations. More like teasing.

We think alike, and we apparently share the same eye condition for not seeing said flirting scenes.

Nothing will ever happen between those two.



I've never seen C.C. depicted as "hotter" and I think that no one should pick a pairing based on such a fact.

She will die somehow. I don't see why Lelouch would care much after recent events though.

We don't live in your world and I think people can and will pick pairings base on what ever feelings and notions they have. If your saying that is superficial to do so, than thats your logic but not mine. I choose food that taste good not disgusting and bland. I like to do things that I'm attracted to (or with). Attraction gives off appeal, gives off purpose, supports the drive. I know that some people avoid delicious and healthy seafood cuz it looks disgusting but whom am I to tell them they can't do that.

Certain things are good advise and certain things are just a limitation of one's reality.

Well I'm not sure he treated is a joke, but rather he considered a price he was willing to pay. He even says that if he didn't take the deal, he'd be dead anyways, so he can only move forwards.

But I think in R2 he's come to realize that his struggle isn't just for Nunnally, and maybe his friends are part of the better world he hopes to build. When it was just for Nunnally, as long as she was safe, everything else was more or less expendable, and the downside in his Geass bargain (being alone in the end) wasn't such a harsh price to pay. Now? Not so much.

With fiction anything is possible hence why it's fiction. After they put Shin and Luna together in GDS I won't put anything past Sunrise

There were never any. He never did, never could, and never will have anything in the way of feelings for C.C.. Especially with recent events. Fans would likely be disappointed if they pulled such a thing off anyway .

Can it? Meh, the rescue doesn't matter anymore. Shirley is dead, Lelouch wants C.C. dead, and Kallen is still there with unresolved feelings. I can't even imagine the amount of complaining if they didn't address that.

Oh, THAT pair. I don't see CG being that screwed up.

To be perfectly fair, a lot of the ideas thrown around now are what I'd like to call the GS-syndrome... or in simpler terms, stupid.

You make it sound like someone will attack you. Is it wrong for someone to question an idea they find incomprehesibly idioitic? If someone questions you, defend the point, don't just hide behind some facade of 'you don't respect my ideas'. If an idea is to be respected, it needs to be backed up.

I'm tempted to say that the entire KallenxSuzaku idea would never have existed if Gundam Seed didn't implant into people's minds the idiotic ways of how romance works.

No he doesn't that's just your opinionon the matter.

[Dann of Thursday]

This is Taniguchi, not Sunrise that is directing this show.

Actually, it's not simply that. He does want her dead as you will see soon enough.

Certainly, Athrun X Cagali is part of what put the idea into people's minds in the first place. And had that island-scene not happened, people might not even have considered it a possiiblity, but because it did and because of Athrun X Cagali, they do...

Do you have even 1 shred of proof for that.

[Dann of Thursday]

Most pairings besides LelouchXKallen and maybe LelouchXShirley are probably the result of people thinking on the level of SEED.

Yes I do and plenty know about it already. Can't say exactly what it is here though.

Im sorry but your really in denial about quite a few things. Even the most diehard Kalulu fans i've met have admitted to me that they've seen a few interactions between Lelouch and C.C which seem romantic.

[thespringmoon]

Spoiler for Oh noez Dann!:

I think you might have spoiled Lelouch hating C.C.

I've seen C.C. giving off the love vibe towards Lelouch but I don't remember Lelouch giving of the romance vibe towards C.C.. That time when they shaked hands on the roof was the closes. Lelouch knows he is bound to C.C., but is that romance I am still unsure.

No, I'm not. And I would love to meet these diehard fans you speak of.

Well, even C.C. is arguable though I would agree ( I can't wait to have someone come and say why it is wrong for me to agree) about her. Nothing at any point with Lelouch though which sort of makes sense since he never really was interested in anyone.

Oh, you're doing it again. Just because you think it's stupid doesn't make it stupid. What I find "idiotic" though, is to completely dismiss a pairing when we still have half a season to go. Stuff can happen. People can change. They probably won't end up together, but it's not your call to decide "how romance works".

But I'm not going to try and defend the possibility of it happening again, so let's move on.

Also, I've never seen Gundam Seed.

It's probably better that you don't, since the sequel was really bad, and the first one wasn't super.

Besides, I think the side characters will have their romances. Cecil and Lloyd: Still looking forward to it.
