CG R2: Episode 3 The Imprisoned Academy - Discussion Thread

[Kenta]

Schedule didn't change despite the leak. Summary should be out soon.

[*<Grove>*]

Raw already came out, can't wait for subs.

[Livius]

if im not mistaken
this is it GGTorrent (http://xabin.mine.nu:3335/torrents/725c7f34742d78b3a479d316560ff676cabacd48.torrent)
=] downloading right now to make sure.

EDIT: ...just remembered this should be in the Downloads thread...but its already posted there...

EDIT2: Just finished watching it and im shocked. The episode flew by for me. Freaking Rollo's Geass is pretty cool but he's not good enough for that power....damn Chinese

[Lind Ni Britannia]

confirmed that Rolo's Geass is teh time manipulation...i wasn't totally correct, but i'm correct about his using Geass to "teleport" himself and his Knightmare all over the place :P

woohoo, Kallen x Xingke undertones...damn.

[Donut]

Wow. Didn't see that coming.

[nx6]

confirmed that Rolo's Geass is teh time manipulation...i wasn't totally correct, but i'm correct about his using Geass to "teleport" himself and his Knightmare all over the place :P
I actually was going to say you were wrong. As only people stop moving. If it was true time manipulation, the water(sewage?)fall would have stopped, too. Everyone within a certain radius gets the Geass in their eyes and stops moving. It's still people manipulation.
woohoo, Kallen x Xingke undertones...damn.Kallen picking up Zero's uniform in the laundry basket still spells Kallen x Lelouch undertones for me. >_< I half expected her to inhale his scent off of it.

Oh, and when C.C. reveals herself as the Zero making the pronouncement on TV and Kallen is upset she wasn't told:
:kitty:They were getting kinda catty there.


Rolo getting upset about the locket actually supports the "Rolo is Nunally with a sex change" theory for me. :D

I wish every episode wouldn't end in a cliffhanger now, but I guess that's to be expected for these first half dozen or so episodes while we tie up the loose ends from season 1.

[Zolo]

Gawd, seeing Kallen in that towel was so worth the DL. And her unmentionables ^_^

Ahh, yeah the episode was good too.....
....

[Tyekanik]

I dislike Rollo even more now. And the Chinese embassy stuff, need explanation rather than the host of theories I could come up with.

Kick em while they are down why not.

[Fidchell]

I agree. Rollo needs to die quickly.

Although his Geass is nifty. :D

[Tyekanik]

Thats part of why I want him to die, he's got the cheap shot assassin Geass. Expanding a field that stops the time of anyone inside of it, meh. There seems to be no need for him not to kill the frozen people too.

It'll make it just annoying when he passes up chance after chance to actually end things because of his inner turmoil or whatnot.

[Minami Itsuki]

Wow...time stop. Cheap much. Every episode is so epic! I love this!

[nx6]

Wow...time stop. Cheap much. Every episode is so epic! I love this!
Are you trying to do a Haiku?

[Momentum]

LOL @ Rollo for being too defensive over a girl's locket... wtf... Teh gheyness...

Anyway, he needs to die. He'll be defenseless when C.C. is around I presume then she can go in for the kill. I can't wait for that epic moment.

[M_A]

wow, what a great episode. and what a cheapass Rollo is, cant wait till he dies.

[Kamina]

Agreed, good episode. I also thought it was hilarious how Rollo got all offended when Lelouch wanted to take away the locket. Is he brainwashed too? He seems sort of torn between wanting to kill Lelouch and liking him as a brother.

[Kenta]

All Geass abilities are cheap. They are godly techniques like mind control, teleportation, and mind read. If Lelouch knew it before hand, he would've come up with another plan rather than confronting Rolo like that. Let's see how he could get out of it.

Oh right, the main fight in this episode is, without a doubt

he won't need to get out of it cuz i doubt that Rollo will be able to kill him.

[Kenta]

I suppose Rolo did get attached to Lelouch in his fake role, and he even kept deceiving himself that Zero was not Lelouch until Lelouch showed up in his face. Lelouch will outwit him again.

[Stormslayer]

Everyone, bow down to the prediction genius......

I hope Rollo using his special skill, will put a bullet through his skull the next episode and end his miserable life and silly quest for revenge. Or at least took out his left eye.

Lelouch just die already...........

[Momentum]

LOL, actually whether you like it or not, Lelouch will own everyone. He won't die.

[Stormslayer]

I begins to like Rollo more and more. If he manage to take out Lelouch's left eye, I will put him on top of Suzaku.

[nx6]

Everyone, bow down to the prediction genius......

Lelouch just die already...........
Oh? Let me try.

I predict Lelouch will survive at least till episode 25 of this second season. :Haha

[Momentum]

I begins to like Rollo more and more. If he manage to take out Lelouch's left eye, I will put him on top of Suzaku.

Heh, I think it'll be the either way around. Until now, theres no reason for Rollo to exist other than being an annoying pest.

Lelouch will outwit him again.

I too look forward to that moment.

[Stormslayer]

I predict Lelouch will survive at least till episode 25 of this second season.

Nice try, I predict the same for Suzaku except with him owning the ass out of Lelouch in the end.

Until now, theres no reason for Rollo to exist other than being an annoying pest.

He is the Suzaku of season 2. Its quite obvious.

Lelouch will outwit him again.

Unfortunately, so far, its Rollo owning Lelouch even in this episode.

[Kenta]

Yeah, he'll survive until he fulfill his purpose. I want Lelouch to live though, if possible. And Suzaku must die if Lelouch dies. :(

[Stormslayer]

And Suzaku must die if Lelouch dies.

I don't understand this mass hatred for Suzaku in this forum. I figure it must have something to do with his past ownage of Lelouch's plans since I don't recall him killing anyone important.

[nx6]

I think Rolo will be gone by the middle of the season. He's there to serve as an antagonist to Lelouch and the mystery character for the start of the show, but we all know the real opponent for Lelouch is Suzaku. There has to be a final confrontation between the old friends, and when that happens Rolo will just be in the way.

He more like the Mao of season two. Hey, he's about as annoying, too.

I don't understand this mass hatred for Suzaku in this forum.
Well, we don't understand your massive hatred of Lelouch. :p
I figure it must have something to do with his past ownage of Lelouch's plans since I don't recall him killing anyone important.Except his father, the former Prime Minister of Japan?

[M_A]

suzaku just isn't an interesting character. unoriginal even. rollo is just annoying.

Lulu is much more appealing since he isn't annoyingly "good" and is intelligent, plus rootng for the bad guy can be quite fun, as proved in death note.

[Stormslayer]

No, he is not. Mao didn't have a frame but Rollo have a frame as cool as Lancelot. As for killing him, LOL, I think even the great pilot Suzaku will have difficulty in surviving a fight with him. He can even dodge Lelouch's geass while aiming his gun at his head the next instant as shown in this episode.

Killing him? Not a chance, like Suzaku of season one, he will be constantly around to wreck Lelouch's plans to take over Japan.

Lulu is much more appealing since he isn't annoyingly "good" and is intelligent, plus rootng for the bad guy can be quite fun, as proved in death note.

Certainly, I can see much parallels between light and Lelouch. Both are megalomaniacs.

[nx6]

Again with the Death Note comparison? :rolleye09 The anti-heros are not the same at all. Because Lelouch really isn't the "bad guy" like Kira was.

[Momentum]

He is the Suzaku of season 2. Its quite obvious.

Rollo is more annoying, not to mention that he also has Geass and acts gay (locket incident.) At least Suzaku was straight (teh nakedness Karen and psycho over Euphie getting shot.)

I don't understand this mass hatred for Suzaku in this forum. I figure it must have something to do with his past ownage of Lelouch's plans since I don't recall him killing anyone important.

It seems like you're the only outcast here. :p

I don't understand this mass hatred for Suzaku in this forum. I figure it must have something to do with his past ownage of Lelouch's plans since I don't recall him killing anyone important.

Suzaku should at least get a wake up call and defect to the Black Knights. Like Athrun joined Kira back in Gundam Seed. Maybe I'll start respecting Suzaku if that were to happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't a similar incident happened in Gundam Seed? When Athrun, Cagilli, Lacus and Kira were stranded on an island? I might have to check again just to make sure.

[M_A]

Again with the Death Note comparison? :eyeroll09 The anti-heros are not the same at all. Because Lelouch really isn't the "bad guy" like Kira was.
i've always considered kira much less "bad" than lulu tbh. =P

[nx6]

@shadow.sentinel

Please don't put Stormslayer's lunacy in my mouth. >_>

[Stormslayer]

Well, we don't understand your massive hatred of Lelouch.

Think of it this way, I'm trying to save you guys from aftereffects of Lelouch's geass. LOL

Because Lelouch really isn't the "bad guy" like Kira was.

Suffice to say, I don't agree.

Rollo is more annoying, not to mention that he also has Geass and acts gay (locket incident.) At least Suzaku was straight (teh nakedness Karen and psycho over Euphie getting shot.)

He is more powerful than Suzaku. Sine Suzaku is away fighting EU, Rollo will remain as his replacement for now.

[Momentum]

No, he is not. Mao didn't have a frame but Rollo have a frame as cool as Lancelot. As for killing him, LOL, I think even the great pilot Suzaku will have difficulty in surviving a fight with him. He can even dodge Lelouch's geass while aiming his gun at his head the next instant as shown in this episode.

If only Rollo didn't have Geass... :rolleyes:

Lelouch hadn't activated his Geass yet. Rolo actiavted his while Lelouch was making his speech (yes, it was the cliche villian slipup). Rolo had his back to him so Lelouch didn't see what he was doing.

[Helikaon]

lol, light was win, lelouch is win.

I love the common thread to go for justice its so... predictable, but I on the other hand enjoy to see a madman outwit the retarded cliche of good winning against evil, even if Lelouch is not exactly evil. Who wants to see something we've seen a thousand times before? A stupid do gooder winning against the badass villain by A) Sheer luck. B) 'Amazing determination' or C) The overiding sense of justice he brings with him. I dont want a super hero, I want a deranged lunatic hell bent on killing millions to achieve his goal. Oh and yes...

The end does justify the means :)

[dogmatix]

Loved the ep.

IMO, Rollo probably has something to do with Nunnaly (false memories -> given geass maybe?) Oh and btw, <3 everything to do with Shirley and <3 that look on C.C.'s face when she was taunting Kallen. (/me goes and watches C.C. reveal herself to Kallen agian ahaha)

[Stormslayer]

At last, someone who is honest here, I wish the rest of Lelouch's pawns here would think like you. Apparently, some of them believe that lelouch = gandhi.......... 0_0. Must be the geass effect.

Rolo actiavted his while Lelouch was making his speech (yes, it was the cliche villian slipup). Rolo had his back to him so Lelouch didn't see what he was doing.

Nevertheless, include the events of episode 2, the scoreline is now: Rollo 2 Lelouch 0

[Tyekanik]

Whoa be unto you who does not recognize the peace and prosperity spread by this young upstart prince.

Rollo's not done anything yet except give Lelouch a chance to get out. Its going to be some quirk as to why he didn't kill him yet. Just has to run his mouth I guess.

[Stormslayer]

Its going to be some quirk as to why he didn't kill him yet. Just has to run his mouth I guess.

He is pulling the trigger at the end. It will take some luck for Lelouch to escape this. And he knows of Lelouch's geass, so he will be avoiding eye contact.

Anyway, for those who said that Rollo's power is time manipulation. No its not. The water is still flowing when he used his geass to kill that guy. I figure its sometimes like "Mind Freeze" with an area effect in a few seconds.

[Tyekanik]

Potato potato. You know what I mean.

If someone stops moving while someone else continues it could be referenced as a time ability, as the victims time stops within his sphere. Was the water outside of said sphere? Didn't think to check and I'm at work. I just go with the basics, victims are frozen. Until there is a concrete definition it'll be the same effect however people feel like referencing it.

Just because he's decided to finally pull the trigger after releasing his ability only means he'll fall victim to coincidence or end up feeling like an idiot.

[nx6]

Whoa be unto you who does not recognize the peace and prosperity spread by this young upstart prince.
LOL.

[Rolo] is pulling the trigger at the end. It will take some luck for Lelouch to escape this. And he knows of Lelouch's geass, so he will be avoiding eye contact.
* nx6 clears throat *

Ep 25: [Suzaku] is pulling the trigger at the end. It will take some luck for Lelouch to escape this. And he has already been under the control of Lelouch's geass, so he will be immune to it now.

Potato potato. You know what I mean.

If someone stops moving while someone else continues it could be referenced as a time ability, as the victims time stops within his sphere. Was the water outside of said sphere?
From what I remember, the water seemed to be closer to Rolo than the victim in that attack. We'll have to see more situations like Rolo escaping the self-distructing Knightmare in ep. 1 to be sure.

[Sting Rae]

Oh right, the main fight in this episode is, without a doubt
http://i31.tinypic.com/9sroyd.jpg
http://i32.tinypic.com/bhdr2q.jpg

ROFL. That looks interesting. I can't wait to see the episode

[Bak3d on H1gh]

so basically with episode three i an pretty much tell two things.
**spoilers**
1. rolo is basically going to be some kind of test tube baby/clone you can tell by the fact that he wouldn't give the pendant to lelouch, most likely when he was created he has just been trained and given the basically necessary life materials not anything above.

2. kallen(mimori basically(See next bracket)) is going to hook up with ryhou(if you've watched sycred till the end for some reason like myself) oops sorry li xingke. you can surmise this from the brief interaction they had, and the fact that cc and lelouch have already kinda hooked up and the background they now share, and the fact their not going to leave her by herself.

[Jeggo]

@ To the guy who thinks Lelouch is good.

He is not. To be simple , he is even worse than his father the Emperor. The Emperor says it openly , he wants those superior to survive , and that the weak will vanish in his Empire.

Lelouch , on the other hand is a manipulator. He is NOT a "Hero of Justice" and I bet he doesn't give a shit about Japan. He is acting like a "Hero" , because that suits his own devices.

This has been stated many times across the anime , I cannot remember the exact episode but I'll give you one for fun. Lelouch was with C.C in a pool-something. They were talking about how the Black Knights were more popular now that they were supposedly "Heroes". Lelouch then commented , that everyone likes a hero and this way its much easier to find more allies.

As I said , he is acting like a hero to further his goals.

He is more evil than Light , because Light even in the end was trying to make the world better.

[Fidchell]

Good vs Evil is a matter of perception.

We are being shown Lelouch as the main character of the series so we are more prone to take his side, thus he is our "good."

Of course I'm speaking about the archetypal meaning, and not it's true meaning.

[Donut]

@Baked and more

Rolo is probably Lelouch's half-brother (possibly brother, because of his attachment to locket) the since he has the Geass (gift of Kings etc, or whatever they called it), as in they share the same father. Clone? No. Mixing clones into Code Geass would be too much, really.

Consider that they are brothers. Rolo got stuffed away at birth, or whatever, and no one really cared/knew about him, etc. Then Lelouch gets everything he'd get, he gets jealous and shit. Jealous of both Lelouch and Nunnaly. So the locket becomes a token of brotherhood, or something ("no you gave it to me!!!").

Too lazy to elaborate more, but you get me.

OR. there's a picture of Lelouch and Nunnally in the locket.

[Tyekanik]

I think that would have raised some uncomfortable questions when Lelouch gave it to him. he did seem to give the locket while he had no memory of his sister.

So that means it would be "why am I giving my brother a locket of me and some chick I don't know?"

[Elocin]

Maybe because of his memories being recreated, he could have perceived it as a picture of him and Rolo when it really is a picture of him and Nunnally :O

[Stormslayer]

[Suzaku] is pulling the trigger at the end. It will take some luck for Lelouch to escape this. And he has already been under the control of Lelouch's geass, so he will be immune to it now.

Nah, its different. Suzaku is much further away from Lelouch. Besides, Lelouch got a bomb planted on his chest, obviously, he can't shoot to kill.

He is not. To be simple , he is even worse than his father the Emperor. The Emperor says it openly , he wants those superior to survive , and that the weak will vanish in his Empire.

Well said, Lelouch. (LOL is it a coincidence that you have the same name)

But from years of watching CLAMP manga and anime, they have a bad habit of making the final villain to be a good guy in disguise. This is solely CLAMP trademark. So, I won't be surprised if the Emperor turns out to be good in the end.

Of course I'm speaking about the archetypal meaning, and not it's true meaning.

Agreed, we see the fight from Lelouch's and the black night's perspective, so we see them as doing the "right" thing. If the series had followed Suzaku more we might have seen lulu as being more evil in killing Britainian as it would of been shown in a negative light. As it is shown they are more of the "bad" guys so we see lulu as doing the "right" thing. Like they say there is no one justice, justice can very from person to person, like lulu and Suzaku. You cant really say ether of them is evil since they are both doing what they think is right

How would the show have protreyed Britannia's conquering of Japan in a positive light? Japan hadn't been the aggressor and gave up without a fight.

[Stormslayer]

Like they say there is no one justice, justice can very from person to person, like lulu and Suzaku. You cant really say ether of them is evil since they are both doing what they think is right

Except that Lelouch is not fighting for justice as stated several times, he is fighting for his sister and revenge for his murdered mother, which will turn out to be a joke if her mother killed herself. LOL

[Momentum]

If Lelouch does succeed, then doesn't that mean the Japanese will live in peace as well?

...

>.>

[Stormslayer]

If Lelouch does succeed, then doesn't that mean the Japanese will live in peace as well?

No, he just behave like his father and discriminate against the Britannia. LOL

And he has to fight off Britannia and China at the same time since they both wanted Japan to be a part of their empire.

[Momentum]

I don't know why people keep saying "Lelouch is like his father." We don't even know the Emperor that much.

And he has to fight off Britannia and China at the same time since they both wanted Japan to be a part of their empire.

Not particularly China, just a small force of the Chinese federation which shouldn't be a problem at all since they're in Japan after all.

[nx6]

No, he just behave like his father and discriminate against the Britannia. LOL
Where's the logic for that statement? Lelouch is a Britannian. Britannia is the one trying to make out Zero as anti-Britannian, because it benefits their PR campaign against him.

It rather like fundamentalist Muslims trying to make out like all America is against them to justify their terrorist activities against civilians, when it's really the U.S. government that is against them, because it happens to be run by a bunch of assholes right now.

[Stormslayer]

Not particularly China, just a small force of the Chinese federation which shouldn't be a problem at all since they're in Japan after all.

Because Japan is not independent yet. Once it is, China will appear and eat the small fish.

I don't know why people keep saying "Lelouch is like his father." We don't even know the Emperor that much.

Like father, like son.

Where's the logic for that statement? Lelouch is a Britannian. Britannia is the one trying to make out Zero as anti-Britannian, because it benefits their PR campaign against him.

He has been killing Britannians in thousands and he did so without remorse.

Once Japan is dependent, Britannians will naturally be suspected as spies. Added to that fact that Japanese hate Britannian, no small thanks to Lelouch as usual.

It rather like fundamentalist Muslims trying to make out like all America is against them to justify their terrorist activities against civilians, when it's really the U.S. government that is against them, because it happens to be run by a bunch of assholes right now

Take politics out of an anime forum, thank you. I have no wish to talk about them here.

[Ai]

This episode proves that Rollo is Nunally..

Lets face it Lelouch gave the locket to Nunally and yet Rollo is the one that has the deep emotional attachment to it..

IT'S THE PROOF I TELL YOU!

[Joan]

Just saw the episode! I thougt it was good : )
I was suprised though that Lelouch revealed him for Rolo so soon, probably because he thougt he could use his Geass on him.
But I wonder what happens now, it seems that Rolo has somewhat of a emotional conection with Lelouch. Especially when he aksed him about the locketm that was kinda lol.

I think either C.C. will kill Rolo, or Rolo will team up with Lelouch.

[Elocin]

But from years of watching CLAMP manga and anime, they have a bad habit of making the final villain to be a good guy in disguise. This is solely CLAMP trademark. So, I won't be surprised if the Emperor turns out to be good in the end.

I'd like to clarify that CLAMP are NOT the producers of this anime, they are merely doing the character designs.

ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=9173)

^ As you can see here, someone else is doing the producing, directing, and storyline, and that CLAMP is doing the original character design (which is why Lelouch is extremely skinny had has very broad shoulders--trademark CLAMP).

Anyway, cliffhanger episode FTL. Can't wait to see the next one :)

I think either C.C. or Lelouch is going to end up killing Rolo -- or maybe Rolo will end up sacrificing himself for Lelouch somewhere along the line. Who knows.

[nx6]

Take politics out of an anime forum, thank you. I have no wish to talk about them here.
:Haha

Code Geass is an anime that makes political statements. Did you miss the pages of convo about that in the first season's thread?

If you wish to deny it, I'd have to say the one under the Emperor's Geass is you.


I was suprised though that Lelouch revealed him for Rolo so soon, probably because he thougt he could use his Geass on him.

Well, Rolo was always aware that Lelouch was Zero. Lelouch did such a good job slipping back and forth I think Rolo began to have doubts the "new" Zero was him.

I surmise that Lelouch saw no reason to keep trying to hide from Rolo since he knew Rolo was a fake and and it would be most difficult to escape someone who kept so close to him all the time. He also wants to use the Geass and see if Rolo has any information on Nunnaly's whereabouts.

[Stormslayer]

Code Geass is an anime that makes political statements. Did you miss the pages of convo about that in the first season's thread?

OMG, I'm referring to real world politics.

If you wish to deny it, I'd have to say the one under the Emperor's Geass is you.

Unfortunately, the emperor's geass is not absolute order and my memory is intact. LOL to you for mixing facts up.

I'd like to clarify that CLAMP are NOT the producers of this anime, they are merely doing the character designs.

I thought they are doing the story as well. It is so CLAMP like.

[nx6]

OMG, I'm referring to real world politics.
So am I. Code Geass is an anime that has social-political commentary in it.

BTW, I only mentioned Western/Muslim relations back there because it was a metaphor for what was happening in the CG universe.

You're the one who made this statement:

With nothing to back it up. Completely ignoring the logic that Lelouch himself and all his friends are Britannian (yeah, he's gonna discriminate against himself -- LOL) It's the same as the real world situation I mentioned. One power uses the populace's lack of understanding to their advantage by spreading disinformation about other power, thereby convincing everyone that the other power is truly their enemy. This wins public support for conflict against them.

[Sting Rae]

lol I loved the part when Kallen came out in just a towel and I totally loved C.C. in this episode <3 <3

What you say is true , but I think you did not understand what Stormslayer meant. I think with the sentence 'he just behaves like this father' he wanted to emphasize the fact , that both Lelouch and the Emperor are , in the end cold, practical and cruel.

I am not sure about the 'discriminate against the Britannia' , probably he meant that Lelouch , after becoming the next Emperor would blame the terrorists - as his father did to him - and thus following yet again , his father's footsteps.

Ahh , trying to explain someone else's logic , is tiring.

Because Japan is not independent yet. Once it is, China will appear and eat the small fish.

Hey you got Lelouch saving the day? >.>

Like father, like son.

How does that make the Emperor the same as Lelouch though? Seriously...

I just watched the new episode right now ( as well as R2:ep 2). So many people have compared this to death note but this is better than death note because there others with the same "godly" power and that makes it much more interesting. I wonder whats happening with Nunally and V.V. There are probably more witches besides C.C. and V.V. Suzaku is just like Rossiu (TTGL) I think he is a bastard now but sooner or later I'm guessing he's gonna be a good guy again. It would be so awesome it Suzaku got a Geass then he Lelouch and Rolo could team up. I'm pretty sure Rolo has some mystery past and Lelouch will figure out away to use Rolo's feelings against him so he will join Lelouch.

[Tyekanik]

The only mystery Rollo has is why isn't he committing ritual suicide and sparing us the agonizing over how pitiful he really is and how it shall be used against him.

[Ai]

As i've said.

Nunally is rollo it's the only explanation for why rollo has such a deep emotional attachment to the locket that Lelouch gave nunally on the birthday.

[BamBam]

How did Nunally turn into Rolo? A geass power?

[Guy]

I'm so slow.. I completely forgot about this anime! :(

But I just watched episode 3. Wow, rollo is actually starting to interest me. There seems to be a lot going on between Lelouch and Rollo.

Damn, they just had to end it with Li wtfpwning people. I wanna see more of his skillz. Easter sword arts ftw!

I think it's going to be a trend for this season - end every episode with a cliffhanger.

[Ai]

Every episode in the previous season basically ended with a cliff hanger..>_>...It's a trend of all anime it's so we have something to complain about.

But the chinese federation is weird...I get the feeling that Li is about to pull something out along the lines of "Zero you killed so and so through so and so" and try and get revenge.

[Guy]

Li never liked Zero anyways, so I'm not surprised he attacked. However, what I am interested in is how the eunuch would react to all of this, since he seems to trust Zero, unlike Li.

[Minami Itsuki]

C.C's definitely gonna come and rescue Lelouch. I sense jealousy from Kallen!!
