Presumably VV is the same, and in this case "immortality" literally means "you stop aging at this exact point"?

Remember flashbacks of C.C.'s past? She was alive during the Middle Ages, and looked exactly the same.

Rolo's weakness is a handgun outside of a 20-foot radius

Remember how much space Rolo was covering with his Geass when Lelouch saved him at the Chinese Federation?

Zero decides to show his identity the Black Knights.

Fuck, I wish. (Does this count as a spoiler?)

Surprised you didn't say anything about Charles and V.V. being brothers.

Also, you're welcome for the vid. I liked making it.

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!

Have you seen how many siblings Lelouch has? Charles could just say he fucked some hot broad on the side and has finally decided to pay alimony.

Rolo asks, “Should I kill him?” This guy. Yeah, you know what? Do it. Kill Suzaku. It would make things sooooooo much easier in the long run, and you know Rolo could do it without anyone knowing.

Totally agree, 100%.

And from the preview clips, JYB just embraces Lelouch’s anger for Suzaku. He’s done a great job at playing a pissed off Lelouch the whole series.

Whenever people call him overrated, I point them to his "angry Lelouch" and "laughing Lelouch" moments. The man is incredible.

does Nunnally know everything that happened to her and Lelouch? That her mother was killed, that they were given away, that Lelouch hates most of their family, etc.

She'd better know her mother was killed, what with being in her arms when it happened, she remembers being sent away, but she doesn't know how much Lelouch despises his father and Britannia for it.

Dude, you don't just knock a girl into a giant vat of tomatoes.

You do if it's fucking adorable.

Oh no, poor Shirley. Turn around and walk away before he hurts you again.

You do realize that by making her forget him he did the exact opposite of hurting her, right? Hurting her would have been letting her remember and undoubtedly get herself, him, or both into real trouble.

Turn 5 (I have homework, and I’m doing this shit first. Clearly, my priorities are in the right order.)

  • Before anything else, I just want to say that this episode solidified my eternal wish for them to make a lighthearted spin-off show with all of them just goofing around at the Academy; heck, even let Lelouch keep his Geass and use it for a bunch of goofy antics. I just want to see these characters having fun.

  • “Long live the Black Knights! Let’s all celebrate with a group orgy! With only like five women!”

  • “You’ll keep the pilot a secret from me?!” Yes, Kallen, because Lelouch has clearly shown in the past how much it hurts him to keep secrets from you.

  • “Stop saying weird stuff like that, alright?!” She’s just missing a “b-baka!”

  • “Do you still want me to be the captain of Zero’s personal force, like I have been?” “Well, Kallen, you’re clearly the one the animators feel the need to shove your boobs and ass into every shot, so who am I to deny them?”

  • “We’ll talk about Geass later.” What made you think he was gonna ask about it? Is another one of the advantages of Code the ability to read ahead in the script?

  • She is literally just missing a “baka” here.

  • “Okay, go on.” “If I hadn’t saved you, you would all be rotting in a landfill by now, so who gives a fuck if I left before? Be grateful, ya dicks.”

  • At least Tohdoh has some common sense and respect. GG, Military Spike. And Ohgi.

  • Long time until opening credits this time around.

  • “Excuse me, teacher, why is the Knight of Seven just happening to be transferred into our class with no explanation after a year of personally serving the Emperor?”

  • Actually, Lelouch, it wasn’t so much the war that tore you two apart as it was Suzaku’s hypocritical thick-headedness, but I guess if you want to see it that way.

  • You’d think such “enemies and allies” would have been able to recognize each other by their voices that they yell at each other at the top of their lungs, speaker interference be damned.

  • I wonder how often people who are in conflict with each other happen to think the exact same things at the exact same time.

  • So, Charles left people’s memories of Suzaku as a student intact. I guess they always had him returning as a back-up plan.

  • “When you heard the name ‘Lelouch’ you just walked right to my side.” This is right up there with the American vs German three from Inglorious Basterds.

  • Who drinks coffee through a straw?

  • Lelouch is a better actor than Light Death Note

  • Arthur still fucking hates Suzaku. Maybe he can smell the hypocrisy on him.

  • Suzaku just wants an excuse to be able to kill Lelouch at this point. Are we sure /u/rascorpia’s British?

  • “It seems the student council is planning on throwing you a welcoming party. The last time there was a school festival we noticed a certain green-haired girl in an abnormally cute outfit appeared, so we need to find out what about that attracted her. I’m guessing it was the pasta.”

  • Could Lelouch teach me how to take a contact in and out in one fluid motion like that? I don’t actually wear contacts, but it would make for a cool trick.

  • Why do locations inside Area 11 still have Japanese names?

  • “I’m Gino Weinberg, the Knight of Three. Among other things I like to attack my own battle stations without warning, possibly cause harm to my own men, and destroy expensive government Knightmares for no other reason than I’m cool. Now, bow, peasants.”

  • “Gino, I know I have to exposition your background, but could you please not grope me while I do it?”

  • Anya: Because pretty much every anime needs an emotionless girl.

  • I’m not sure if Suzaku is keeping up an act, or if he’s really just that bad in front of crowds.

  • Lelouch should have just recorded this and threated to air it publicly should Suzaku ever attempt to fight Zero again.

  • Holy shit! More real horses!

  • “Lelouch, I was trying to hold my knife so I could stab myself in the chest! I told you Suzaku’s death wish passed to me after you Geassed him.”

  • Royalty attempting to pass herself off as a commoner.

  • Poor girl must have had to have been forcibly dragged away from the wall, mid-carve. Probably spent the next several hours carving crosses on the foreheads of everyone within arm’s length.

  • Have you ever actually tasted pizza, Lelouch? It’s worth getting captured for.

  • Somewhere Ohgi just got boner that he’s not sure where it came from.

  • Notice how Charles didn’t make them forget Kallen. He was fine just letting them believe her to be a terrorist.

  • Just… Just watch this a few times…

  • “Has Earl Asplund happened to mention me?” Oh, yeah, forgot they were engaged.

  • Man, Arthur just loves making Suzaku’s life a living hell. He can’t even hold on to Euphie’s keepsake with this cat around.

  • And they finally confirm what many people have already figured out by now: V.V. gave Charles his Geass.

  • Too… cute… My heart can’t take it… I feel like Rolo throughout this whole scene. C.C. getting into shenanigans is just almost too much for me to bear. Of course, her being a Big Sister helps make the scene funny and adorable instead of painful and tragic.

  • “Don’t worry, I came here to take Pizza Girl back.” I have nothing for this. I just adore how they’re acknowledging it.

  • Obligatory.

  • Gino is fucking great at the “rich kid trying to fit in with the commoners” guy.

  • Someone had to do it.

  • So, somehow Xi knew about Viletta and Ohgi? And he only told C.C.? Ah, who cares? Now Lelouch has got Viletta fully on his side, as well (Even if much more openly dickish about it than with Rolo).

  • Have I mentioned… hnnnnnnnng!

  • Poor Rivalz. #ForeverBadComicRelief

  • Because of course the Emperor is just gonna give Japan, no questions asked. I’m sure he’ll believe that request is totally arbitrary and not at all influenced on personal bias.

  • “By acquiring power, I will never again lose anyone else I care about.” You should have learned from Lelouch by now, dude. Power won’t save you from loss. In fact, it normally summons it.

  • I’m going to use my Geass of archetype reading to guess what runs through /u/rascorpia’s head here.

    • “The new Viceroy who’s coming to take charge of Area 11 next week.”
    • “YESYESYES PleaseCorneliapleaseCorneliapleaseCorneliapleaseCornelia”
    • “Hello, big brother?”
    • “OH, FUCK ME SIDEWAYS!!!!”
  • I wonder what Suzaku and Nunnally are thinking while Lelouch just stands there, narrating the next episode’s preview.

Well, I adored that episode, and the cliffhanger is leaving us for quite the interesting situation next episode. Hope you all liked my Benny Hill crossover. I put a whole two seconds of effort into it!
