Code Geass - Q & A

[Parousia]

Question again,
- Why did the girl(the one that he commanded to mark the walls everyday) that Lelouch commanded in the beginning stopped doing his command?

Most likely she got shipped to the Homeland, I.E. Away from Area 11. IIRC.

Firstly, Yes i know the author state that Lelouch was killed but what are your Opinions on the Japanese ending where C.C was on the cart and state:" Geass a fearsome power controls people lifes, did i say anything wrong ? Lelouch" (Something like that - Correct me if im wrong) Then it shown the driver of the cart. Even though its half face but still it looks like Lelouch right ?

Secondly, after reading through comments from Youtube videos, Comment at some other forum sites. People once again was split into 2 separate group - One saying Lelouch is dead the other saying his alive. And the reason to support the fact that Lelouch is dead is where the author claimed that Lelouch is DEAD. On the other hand, Those who believed that Lelouch is alive claims that Lelouch killed his father to obtain the code (Immortality) therefore he didnt die.
the anime also show that when one has the code of immortality, they cannot use their Geass. but the fact the Lelouch still have his Geass shows that he didnt obtain the code. However to obtain the code, you have to either steal it from the one who gave you the Geass or Kill the one who gave you the Geass. (Just like how Charles (98th Emperor-Father of Lelouch) stole V.V's Code and V.V is still alive until the Black knight raid at the order. The 2nd way to obtain the Code is shown in C.C's memories where she obtained her Geass from the Nun and later killed her when her Geass was strong enough to.


Lelouch killed his father Charles so did he obtain the code ? Some say its the "God/Goddess" who killed Charles instead. But during the episode, Lelouch gain a new power, a 2nd Geass. what is his 2nd Geass capable of ? Maybe it could be some rare godly power to cancel the code and this is how his is able to kill Charles.
Also lets say you kill someone who has a Code, is it immediately that one would gain the power or immortality ? If it took awhile for the code to merge with Lelouch's body, then him able to use his Geass awhile makes sense since during the last episode, Lelouch did not show his Geass - Maybe at that time when he was stabbed by Suzaku, the code already activated. This could means that he act dead and later when to live with C.C together and the ending shown would also make sense.

Thirdly, Code Geass Bokuto no Akito (claims to be 2017 a.t.b during the time when zero was claimed "dead" and the rise of the Black Knights) during Episode 2, Kururugi Suzaku escort someone who looked like Lelouch. The appearance is similar, the voice is similar and he had his left eye covered - Same side where Lelouch had his Geass. So any Opinion on who is he and is Bokuto no Akito really happening when lelouch was claimed "dead". could this be something like a so called "season 3" where Nunally became the 100th Empress of Britannia and she knew her brother was not dead but yet they couldnt just release or show to public that his alive therefore at the end of Code Geass S2, they showed C.C and a believed to be Lelouch together and both of them live together at the countryside. However when Britannia are facing trouble on the EU side, They decided to call for Lelouch help. and he was personally escort by the Knight of round (When they reach EU, the in charge stated that the one in the train must be very important to the Emperor as he travelled by the Britannia's private train and was escorted by the knight of Round. If thats the case, he should be Lelouch unless that person would be his twin brother or doppelgänger or maybe ditto is disguise ?.

What are your thoughts ?

[BahamutX]

First. that video is fake. I can assure you, having watched the episode right after it aired, it is exactly the same as the english version.

Second, Lelouch's second Geass in his other eye is no different from all the others we see with two. And you gain a code, its effect is immediately. This was the case with C.C. and Charles so there is no reason to believe it would take more than a month for Lelouch.

And thirdly, Akito takes place between season 1 and R2, so no, it isn't proof. Though it is clearly a brainwashed Lelouch from before he is sent to Ashford.

It was claimed in the past that 1 a.t.b. corresponded to 55 BCE (which I am aware has already been discredited, since the event is known to fall during Augustus' reign). What I'd like to know is how the claim first appeared and how it became "common knowledge", as well as when it was discredited.

[Renegade334]

Actually when that information first surfaced (in a DVD 1 extra where Lelouch gives a history lesson to Suzaku), it said nothing about Augustus, but explicitly mentioned Julius Caesar and stated that the ATB calendar started the year Caesar attempted to invade Great Britain - an endeavor that failed when Eowyn rallied the Briton tribes around him for a counterattack. Granted, it's also possible 1 ATB began the year Eowyn defeated the Romans, which could be a little later than 55 BC, but both of Caesar's invasions were quite short-lived (a year each IIRC).

In real life, Caesar initiated both of his (equally unsuccessful) campaigns in 55 and 54 BC. Augustus would follow in Caesar's footsteps, but only twenty years later, in 34, 27 and 25 BC.


Watch it here.


EDIT: oh ffs, now they changed Eowyn to Alwin? Come on... Screw these retcons.

[Arcorann]

Thanks for the quick response. Of course, that leads to the second part of my question - how did it eventually become discredited? At the very least, the Augustus thing had to come from somewhere.

Hello, I have a question that geass is more strategic the geass of Mao or the geass of Rolo?

Both boast their own set of strategic and tactical advantages. Since you asked about the strategic aspect of it, I'll focus on that and disregard the tactical aspect entirely.

Strategically, Mao's boasts the most advantages in terms of information gathering, manipulation and planning. His also doesn't have any weaknesses that cripple its usage or where it becomes a concern for his health since C.C. has noted that he can use it indefinitely without any drawbacks. (discounting the fact that he can't deactivate it because of the runaway Geass condition.)

Information gathering: To keep it short and sweet, as long as Mao is within 500 m of his target, he can read their minds without them knowing. He can either read the surface thoughts of many people simultaneously or he can specifically focus on a key individual and even read their thoughts at the subconscious level. (In the case of people who're constantly in thought, the latter proves much more effective because he can pinpoint the main or key thought hidden among all the other random or less important ones.) This gives him an undeniable advantage in terms of strategics because he can always prepare a perfect counter for anything you can think of.

Manipulation: Well, it goes without saying, if he can red thoughts, even at the subconscious level, then he can easily find out about any secrets you want to keep private. Thus, he can easily manipulate and blackmail his targets to get them to do his bidding. Not much else to say about that. Pretty straightforward.

Planning: This aspect goes hand-in-hand with the info gathering aspect as noted above. As previously noted, using the information he literally ripped straight from the target's mind, then he can easily setup countermeasures and even backups for any of the sub-plans the target may have had apart from the initial one.

----------
It goes without saying, Mao as a character wasn't portrayed as a strategist in the anime, but due solely to principles of his geass' power, he could easily outwit Lelouch (even though Lelouch returned the favour shortly after) and even best him at chess twice. If the greatest strategic mind in the entire series has problems with a guy who isn't even a strategist by nature, then it just goes to show how hax that geass could be if someone with a truly strategic mind possessed it.

Don't really feel the need to list Rolo's abilities as well since you asked which is better. So I simply listed the advantages of the better option only.

Hope I helped.

Yeah, thank you for answering me.


But I have another question the Ovas of Code Geass: Akito the Exiled are canon?, by the scenes showing lelouch and Rolo could say that it is not canon.

Akito the Exiled is canon. It takes place between the first season and R2.
