which is complete bullshit
the shield can stop the stark hadron cannon for a few minutes but it gets broken by a sword swipe ? they needed and excuse to destroy the shinkiro, so they had it destroyed

Bismarck, being the Knight of One and bodyguard of the Emperor gave the sword the power to manifest a shield function and deflect attacks, like the Shen-Hu's Baryon cannon. On the flip side, with Gino weilding them, the swords gained the power to make anything they touched Fail At Life And Everything, thus the Shinkirou's shields failed as hard as they did. [/sarcasm] |

i still think that their inability to make up their own damn minds about him in the last arc is part of what crippled his portrayal in my eyes (in the last arc specifically)
if he's suppose to be a hero, dont have him act like a complete monster to everyone around him including his little sister if he's suppose to he a villain, dont make his actions as mostly off-stage villainy, and dont try to get us to sympathize with him like in that stupid scene in ep 23 with C.C i named that praticular scene because its one of the lesser noticed wallbangers in the last arc its clearly meant to mirror a similar scene that happened in season 1 right after he killed euphie but just like the "its just a recording" bit, they took the concept while ignoring the circumstances, and end up with a scene that fails the fridge logic the scene in season 1 works because it comes on the heels of a REAL tragedy that could not have been foreseen, and happened right as everything was getting peaceful again and destroying everything it works because its actually TRAGIC the scene in season 2 on the other hand comes on the heels of an entire episode of lelouch acting like a complete douchebag, commiting several acts of chilling monstrosity INTENTIONALLY destroying the possibility of everything becoming peaceful and culminating in lelouch telling nunnally that she represents everything he despises so i kinda find it hard to sympathize with his plight, and him throwing a tantrum over it seems like a severe case of moral dissonance/myopia this isnt a case of "lelouch isnt a hero or a villain, he's just lelouch" in the last arc lelouch very clearly WAS the villain (its always said that the villain is the one driving the story) but they didnt have the balls to go all out with it and actually SHOW that fact properly, so they kept trying to show him in a favorable light despite it if they had any real courage for their conviction, they would have have made it clear that lelouch is suppose to be the bad guy its the same stupidity that happened with destiny, where kira and lacus were SUPPOSED to be the villains, but they didnt get portrayed this way because they were fan favorites and sunrise didnt want to make people hate them (dont want to anger the meal ticket/fandom) and the end result messed up the entire story

Lelouch was not supposed to fit the stereotypical portrayal of a villain or a hero, that is what makes him good in my eyes. Even for Anti-Hero standards, he is still deviant from the beaten path.

Be that as it may, they screwed up the whole thing.
If Lelouch were to die a monster in everyone's eyes, I would have preferred it if it somehow it absolutely came down to him having to go into complete hardass mode to stop Schneizel. Then in spite of what he did, people just don't trust him anymore, so he has to resort to acting like the tyrant the people now see him as, and THEN having Suzaku as Zero kill him. Then for shits and giggles, as everyone starts cheering, Zero delivers the final speech, "People! Lelouch had only one goal: to defeat Schneizel and give you the freedoms you now enjoy. And this is how you repay him? Who's the real monster here? Not he, certainly not he." A cookie for the first person to namecheck the reference. |

Hmm, the reference sounds Roman or Greek to me.

Something I never understood was why Lelouch doesn't speak to Kallen in Ashford when he goes to meet the UFN. By not having her join him he was risking it all. She could a) die in battle against his army or b) break through his lines (which she did) and kill him, thus destroying Zero Requiem.
He had to know that she would cause a lot of problems if she wasn't on his side...Was it because even though she was kinda important her life was as important as Zero Requiem, and thus he could justify it if she was killed in battle?
