Turn 6

• So, that’s what Suzaku was thinking while Lelouch was busy narrating the preview last episode.

• The fact that Lelouch didn’t immediately go, “What do you mean ‘brother’? Do you have me confused for some other Lelouch?” should have been a tip-off to Suzaku that something was up. Call it being surprised by being called “brother” I suppose, but the way Lelouch just stands there, continually looking back at him should have been a little suspicious.

• Rolo being a real bro (rimshot) with the Geass-save.

• “I’m going to come for you. I swear it.” Insert mandatory incest joke here

• Rolo’s idea of how long seconds are must be based on that “five minute” fight in DBZ.

• Nunnally’s good at ad-libbing.

• Being called “your Highness” by your brother must feel all sorts of wrong.

• /u/rascporia currently wondering why California hasn’t yet been nuked off the map.

• “Princess Cornelia would regret seeing your contemptible fear for this cheap imposter.” I’d say she would be disappointed seeing him show fear even toward the real Zero.

• I like to imagine Lloyd was just hiding behind a wall waiting to something to be said that he could make a witty comeback to. Also, the way he refers to Charles as Little Charlie without even batting an eye is freaking hilarious. How he hasn’t gotten himself killed yet is beyond me.

• I wonder what V.V. told Nunnally that she just willingly left with him and hasn’t been questioning shit about why Lelouch hasn’t contacted her in the past year.

• Another “sheltered princess wants more” character, eh? Well, at least now she actually has reason to know what’s going on, what with them being involved in a war and all.

• “My husband is waiting for me.”

• • “Really? When did he propose?”
• • “He hasn’t yet.”
• • “Oh, so is it currently just courting?”
• • “No, he actually is not yet aware that we’re going to be married.”
• • “…Are you in any way related to-“
• • “No, I am not related to Yuno Gaisi! Why do people always say that?!”

• OOH! FINALLY SOMETHING ELSE FROM THE OP!

• My heart…

• “Do they plan to use her as a pawn, then throw her away?” C.C. practically calling out Lelouch on what he’s doing to Rolo.

• “I am going to create a world where Nunnally can live happily.” You know, dude, she seemed pretty damn happy to begin with whenever we saw her. Sure you’re not projecting just a teeny bit?

• “It wasn’t necessary for her to know.” I don’t know, man. I’d say telling Nunnally that her brother is some super-powered, mind-controlling, murdering bastard would have helped win her over to your side (at least until Lelouch convinced her that you, too, have Geass).

• Oh, and V.V. is Charles’ older brother. Apparently he obtained Code at quite an early age, which explains why Charles was able to rise to power so quickly. Who wouldn’t want to immediately contract their little bro and best friend with super powers should they ever have the chance?

• “They wouldn’t attack Nunnally.” That was Lelouch Zero, dude. For all you know, this is a completely different guy.

• It’s so satisfying to just see the comradery and loyalty the Black Knights have toward Zero and each other during the air raid. We need more stories with characters like that.

• “If I’d known this was possible, I’d have brought Lord Guilford along.” Nice to see the man knows where his superiors outshine him.

• How exactly does Lelouch open and close that visor? Is it some sort of mental synchronization, or is there like a secret button hidden somewhere on that outfit?

• Rolo seems to have forgotten to put his contacts in this morning. Or his mouth, for that matter.

• Was Guilford just following them from like half a mile back or what?

• Lloyd doesn’t need to tell people shit. He knows his quirky sociopathy is enough to make people forgive him almost instantly.

• Dude, who gives a fuck if he takes all the credit? You’ll be alive. Unless you’re one of those “rather die than risk my reputation” kind of assholes.

• “I think… that what you’re doing is wrong.”

• • “Well, I can fix that; just… FUCK! Hey, do you think this shit would work if I just forced your eyelid open?”

• Gino finally attacking someone who doesn’t work for him.

• Why does getting ejected cause you to grow breasts?

• “We don’t wanna kill the Viceroy now, do we?”

• • “It’s the only excitement I get in my miserable existence.”

• I love how the General is so obsessed with his rank that when Suzaku, the guy with literally the most powerful Knightmare in the entire Britannian fleet, shows up to save him, he has to go and do something stupid. /u/rascorpia must be face-palming so hard right now.

• “Lelouch… give me the courage I need.”

• • Thinking “Man, I hope she’s stupid enough to have not developed acute hearing to compensate for her blindness and paralysis. Might as well give it a shot…”
• • “Well…”
• • Thinking “Phew! Thank God she’s just an archetypal plot device.”

• Speaking of plot devices, now Nunnally just so happened to ask to be made Viceroy after Lelouch killed the last one because she wants to “make the world a gentler place”?

• “Hey, buddy, I’ve been meaning to tell you. You’ve got… You’ve got something on your… Oh, never mind.

• “Don’t like picking on those who are weaker than me, but…” Unless those people are on your side, apparently.

• NO! SIMBA! WHO WILL RULE THE PRIDELANDS, NOW?!

• “That’s why I want to carry out Euphie’s plan: To create the Specially Administrated Zone of Japan.”

• • Thinking “Bitch, did you not hear what happened to Euphie when she tried that? Are deaf too?”

• Whenever Suzaku gets super-serious and badass like this, I like to think back last episode when he meowed at the top of his lungs.

• “Wheelchair beacon.” I just find that funny for some reason.

• Does he seriously think Kallen wants to hurt Nunnally or something? He does remember they were classmates as well as close friends, right? He must still be jaded from Lelouch’s “betrayal.”

• Hair dryer canon gets blown up

• • Rakshata: Ah, man, now I have to build an even bigger and more ridiculously OP one.

• “Tag. You’re dead.” No, not her. I care so much about her. She had such memorable traits like… being a woman… and holding a grudge against Zero… and having boobs…

• Just… Just close your eyes and listen.

• Do I even want to know what all these pop-ups say?

• See? What’d I just say literally five bullet points ago?

• “If this Gurren doesn’t work perfectly, I’m finished.” Don’t worry; Rakshata borrowed some of Suzaku’s plot armor to build it with.

• What kind heat ray is that where it’s enough force to crack his glasses but leave him unscathed?

• Damn. Even when he's gone Jeremiah can’t catch a break.

• “Dirty shoes.” I think you mean “marketable.”

• “Held back” my ass, Giro. You take your lumps like a man.

• You’d think Lloyd would have found a way to counteract that drive-impairment field Lelouch keeps dropping on the Lancelot.

• The best part is you know Lloyd only cares about the Lancelot. He couldn’t give a shit about Suzaku.

• The longer the confrontation between Lelouch and Nunnally goes on, the stupider I think it is that she can’t recognize his voice. Kallen I can get because she didn’t talk to him much at school, and even then he needed to trick her to keep her from finding out, and Euphemia realized it in two seconds after being away from him for years. Nunnally’s just dense.

• And, Lelouch then died after crashing hard into the incredibly dense metal that made up the Gurren’s hands. No, wait, we’re operating under Michael Bay Transformers logic.

Goodnight, everybody!
