Romance in Code Geass (Take 2)

Meh, I'm still an avid supporter of the C.CXLelouch pairing, I still think they have pretty good odds in regards toward being the end one, but you know, after the display of idiocy concerning romance while trying to figure out what was wrong with marrying Tian Zi off and reverting back to his siscon tendencies for a moment I'm just really hoping Lelouch starts to actually think of women in general. Oh how Kaguya completely missed the mark concerning her beloved Zero and his tendencies

Maybe in getting her off with a light tap on the wrist. Unless he knows about Geass and allows his daughter to be mindwiped.

I found it funny that he seemed unnerved that even C.C. had a problem with it. The fact he didn't get why it was a problem is rather troubling. He gets it now though it still doesn't seem like C.C. is really much of an option in romantic terms. She isn't giving off anything to appear as such and her position with Lelouch and the plot don't appear to be leading into this. He has also yet to interact with Kallen after this change with him so along with the fact that he plans to rescue her, her chances really just keep getting better.

I don't see how anyone could consider C.C. an option anymore with her position with things.


Did anyone find Shirley's examples funnier since they were clearly all things she has done?

Uhh, last I checked none of the other girls seemed like they were being considered as romantic options consider Lelouch thought about Nunnally out of all people when it came to love when that wasn't technically the love they were talking about...

Shirley will be dealing with Lelouch over the event as well as that whole kiss misunderstanding and I can't possibly think how Lelouch is going to get out of that one. If he rejects her, she'll probably be crushed and hate him for it.

C.C. is out of the picture for a while because she's searching for the Cult. Her general interaction with Lelouch among other things seem to be giving the impression that Taniguchi won't be doing anything in terms of romance with her at all and that the point they are partners and nothing more has been stressed very greatly to the point where I think they have made it quite clear nothing is not and never was going to happen.

Kallen will be going to Britannia for who knows what, but the fact she is critical and will be heavily addressed later during a rescue seems to clinch things for her.

Uhhh, the last time I checked the Cult is a pretty critical issue that needs to be dealt with by Lelouch as well, especially now that Jeremiah is going to be making his reappearance

[Dann of Thursday]

That doesn't need to mean anything for romance. It still doesn't change that they have been stressing that Lelouch and C.C. are just partners. It's like how everyone thought Jeremiah and Viletta were involved and the staff denied they ever were.

I can honestly say that I never thought that. Their relationship came off to me as being very good friends.

I never thought they were involved either, but I have seen many bring the topic up and Viletta's VA and the staff made a point of saying they weren't.

Why do the tags keep getting reset? The last set didn't seem as out there as before.

[Rising Dragon]

Well... for me, I haven't anything against the usual pairings even though some seem really implausible to me, but my personal preference happens to be Lelouch and Shirley. That's just me, though, each pairing has its strengths and weaknesses. Except for the really implausible ones, like Suzaku and Shirley, Suzaku and Kallen, Suzaku and Nunally. (No, not against Suzaku pairings, but Suzaku knows that Shirley's heart is set on Lelouch, Kallen could never be with Suzaku after all that's happened; her loyalty is to Zero, and finally, because all sorts of crap will hit the fans if Nunally finds out that Suzaku sold out her brother to the Emperor.)

But yeah, I just prefer Lulu x Shirley, followed by a tie between Lulu x C.C. and Lulu x Kallen.

This seems like a good jumping point...I won't argue the numbers since nobody's really keeping score anyway...

Anyway, first of all, we don't really know for sure what happened with Sayako and Shirley. It wasn't shown on screen, so I can still hope that Shirley's lips weren't dirtied by those of another person. *glares at Sayako* lol just kidding, but yeah I'm not gonna take Sayako's...actions...as a positive or negative until the situation has been resolved.

Second, something UnnamedPhenomenon mentioned as well (for which I thank you) was how Shirley once again provided emotional support and clarification for Lelouch. I can't really interpret this romantically for certain but Sunrise really is being suspicious in the manner in which they're using her character. The whole scenario wasn't even particularly plausible (I mean, why is Lelouch carrying around his cellphone while he's off in China instead of letting Sayako handle his calls? What if somebody refers to something they said over the phone to Sayako and she doesn't know what they're talking about?) and plotwise it was pretty ridiculous. So all in all, I'm pretty sure that Shirley is being set up for something here.

Anyway, yes Dann, I also found the fact that all the things Shirley was listing was actually talking about herself hilarious. :P I'm glad you're starting to see the charm of her character now.

edit: Rising Dragon, nice to meet you! I'm glad to see other ShirleyxLelouch supporters coming out of the woodworks.

A long shot, but from Lelouch's reply it seems that he rarely get any calls from people, so he assumes they're usually very important.

Another reason may be that he still wants to be in the loop for certain things; Sayako might not be able to handle organization work, and it doesn't look like he has any direct communication with them.

Good job, boy !



BTW, the VillettaXOugi pairing made a fantastic comeback in this thread. Now it's the third couple !!!

1. Lelouch x C.C. 648 67.78%
2. Lelouch x Kallen 349 36.51%
3. Viletta x Ougi 162 16.95%

[Chaos2Frozen]

Shouldn't we have a new Romance Thread (Take 3) ?

What with the new characters and developments and all...

Yeah, I guess so, but it still runs the risk of blowing his cover. I guess my point is that the lengths to which the writers went to include that scene (spending quite a bit of screentime setting Lelouch up as being clueless as to why he shouldn't use a loli for a political marriage, and then conveniently having Shirley call him) would be a bit of a stretch if they only included it for comedic purposes. Like I said, the very specific way Sunrise is using Shirley's character (this is the second time now, following Shirley's wish in episode 7) seems to be setting her up for something.

Oh, and just some analysis on the whole Sayako thing as well, now. Shirley looked really upset when Lelouch came back and that whole look and tone just doesn't really come twice. Since she was interrupted, I think the ball is in Lelouch's court now, and he'll have to remember and confront her about it since I think Shirley will probably avoid him for now. I really wonder what Sayoko said to make her that way though.

:P That happened a while ago, actually. But yes, you've been very kind to me Narona but it looks like we are true rivals now .

Lelouch x Shirley 145 15.17%

I'm happy, so after Turn11 I'm not the only one who think the good pairing will be ShirleyXLulu!!! I can feel it !


I know, you didn't say it, Sol, but that's what you think, don't you?

[Tokkan]

Shirley will surely die, I'm quite sure of it all. *shot once for the suggestion and shot a second time for the pun*

Trying to butter me up...well I guess it worked. It's true, I'm hoping that this'll all turn out for ShirleyxLelouch in the end, and I guess since you're so generous I'll let you have the number three spot for now. :P

They are also seemingly setting her up for the fall. She's getting tied to things that Lelouch is leaving behind, or moving away from. First in Ep.7 they tied her to Nunally, by the end of Ep.8 Lelouch had left Nunally behind in better hands. In Ep.11 they tied her to the past and then she recieved a kiss from the fake Lelouch (which is ironic, since she only knows a fake Lelouch). This isn't exactly the same as Nunally; but they tied her to an old part of Lelouch. They've tied her to a life that Lelouch is keeping up through lies.

So I'm really skeptical if their setting her up for anything other than a fall. Her expression at the end of Ep.11 didn't bode well either. Nor Orange's coming to Ashford.

I agree with this, that's why I'm sure that she'll die.
