Just finished airing. Waiting for raws to surface..
-Zero performed a mass kagebunshin no jutsu
-the maid Sayoko apparently knows Zero's identity
In other news, there's no Code Geass next week and some filler/announcement will be shown instead. Possible reason is that ep 9 has something to do with the Chinese Federation and it's a bit of a sensitive issue to air it with the recent Earthquake tragedy in China.

awesome
That was pure genious how they all dressed like Zero.
With Suzaku...does that mean he cant be killed....
LOL
Everyone is Zero. That was brilliant. But now it looks like they're heading to the Chinese Federation, which is a bad idea. But that will be shown next week I'm sure. And Lelouch reveals himself to Sayoko. I'm still convinced Nunnaly knows its him. Zino really came across as a jerk in this episode "Hooray! If they revolt, we have an excuse to kill them!"
Who is this Kanon guy? Seems to be a new character they haven't really introduced.

Amazing! Brilliant! How did all 1 million do that at the same time? Geass power? Whatever it was that was shocking!

Wow that was the most brilliant thing I have ever seen..
Just me or no preview?
Hoho, damn, Zero is smart!
Fear the one million Zeros!
No preview? Aww....

Ah, I thought it was only a matter of time before CG starts spreading anti-China propaganda.

Yeah, that bummed me, too.

Well, since Code Geass is a work of fiction, The Chinese Federation is a fictional country, not the same thing as the actual PRC. So arguably this is an example of political over-correctness.

That was easily one of the best episodes of the second season.
Zero is simply brilliant!

This is crazy because Lelouch actually had this as one of his plans prior to the announcement of Special Administration Region of Japan. I guess it was one of his plan C and D and the sudden turn of events just made him execute it sooner.

But wont they find out Zero is actually Lelouch because Lelouch wont be going to school anymore?
All they'll see is Lelouch (and Rolo?) are no longer at school I believe. Keep in mind that a million people left that day, so there would be little reason to assume Lelouch is Zero (the real one I mean, since everyone who left that day was Zero). Suzaku is leaving too, so he may or may not become aware Lelouch is gone. If he does, it would expose that Lelouch has gotten his memories back. But with Lelouch in China and no where near Ashford, who cares?
Huh? Lelouch's in China? I'm sorry, but I think I missed that part. I thought it was just Diethard or w/e in China...

Remember at the end of the episode where Lelouch is on the ship and they are about to pick up the other 1 million zeros to take them to china...
OK, I'll need to go back and check.
I thought they were heading for that Special Administration of Japan or w/e it's called.
ghey b
05-27-2008, 03:18 AM
yea i thought the chinese were just picking them up, i didnt think they were going to china, but i guess i missed it too :p
and technically lulu wouldnt have to go with them, he liberated them like they wanted, so wouldnt his job as zero (to the japanese) be over?

The SAZ is in Area 11. If Zero is now in exile from Britannia, he's not going there. :p That was what the joke of this strategy is. Nobody was joining the SAZ after what happened last time, so Zero comes up and says "I'll bring a million people to join, but you have to let me go." So the million people show up like Zero had promised, but then they all change into Zero, and so they all have to leave. It was a show of solidarity that the elevens would rather leave the country and become refugees somewhere else than go along with Britannia's fake Japan.

i never said that lulu was done being zero period
only to the Japanese who wanted to be liberated
he still has his own reasons to fight the empire
But if the Japanese are liberated, who are his supporters in fighting against Britannia?
ghey b
05-27-2008, 07:22 AM
anyone he wants that he hasnt used the geass on already, and rollo
does he need much more?
idk tho, its really hard to tell where this is going next
If you put it that way, can't Lelouch just waltz into the palace and use his geass on the emperor?
But then again, we wouldn't have much of a plot, now, would we?
ghey b
05-27-2008, 07:32 AM
well he did just waltz into the palace and use it on his brother the prince right?
and no he couldnt use it on the emperor... thats pretty obvious already :p
but going to the palace might be his next action
well he did just waltz into the palace and use it on his brother the prince right?
That wasn't the palace, more like a mobile command center Clovis was in.
As for allies, Lelouch can join up with any number of peoples that have also been conquered by Britannia.

Those 1 million people that are now homeless and looking for employment

They don't need to fight Britannia for that, although I suppose joining the army and mobilizing everyone is the quickest way to get rid of unemployment.

They don't need that many 'real' fighters in an anime.
These people were also willing to bail on their home country to follow Zero rather than take part in the "Japanese now have rights too" thing.
They could so stuff like logistics, payroll, the 'million :p' other things a nation needs other than frontline soldiers to hold a successful campaign.

The millions of zeros remain of the movie V for Vendetta when more thousands of Londoners dress up like V tp watch Parliament blow up. However, the way the Zero had the whole thing plan out to teach or show what was in his old friend heart. I only got one question when this show going to dvd in the states, it rocks.

the first season only just came out in the states on tv (not even sure it its on dvd yet), so it will be quite some time till the second season hits dvd

Off topic, but I just wanted to say that scene in the movie was kinda dumb and it never happened in the original graphic novel.

Lelouch already knew what Suzaku's reaction would be when he formed the plan, that's the point. Suzaku wasn't doing anyone any favors.
Do people thank you for acting like yourself?

Thats exactly what I was thinking.
The plan was formulated over Suzaku's known response, it would be different/odd if he decided to kill them all.

Agreed. Thats why Suzaku said Zero was someone who knew him very well.
Lelouch
05-30-2008, 08:10 PM
The sole reason Lelouch did what he did , was because he knew exactly what Suzaku would do. That much is bluntly obvious!
As the others said , you don't have to thank someone who is acting like himself.
That was quite a gamble, though. What if Suzaku had changed? Or what if someone had a geass similar to Lelouch's? Then Zero's reputation would've been gone forever.
W/e, I agree with everyone else; there's no need to thank Suzaku since he was only acting himself.

Well , every one of his plans is pretty much a gamble dude :winking56
Yeah, that's true, but this gamble was particularly dangerous, since had he failed, one million lives would've been lost. Lelouch would've known what it was like to be Euphie.

Maybe, but if the rest of the world sees that Britania just murdered 1 million people it would turn into a world war with everyone against Britania.
Its much easier to twist stories where a group of 20 people are out of order, but to say that 1 million people were rioting when the whole world could see that they were using a non-violent approach, would be a bit of a stretch. If anything Britania wouldn't want to kill those 1 million people as much as Suzaku and Lulu.

Then why didn't the rest of the world turned against Britannia when Euphie killed all those Japanese? Besides, I believe it was said before that Britannia had the strongest military in the world. The Chinese certainly want to avoid a direct confrontation, and we've already seen an episode where the European army got owned by the Britannian army.

Well , Britannia is supposedly stronger than the Chinese Federation and the E.U. Still , it isn't wise to start a war with many enemies together. Fighting both the Chinese and the Europeans would result in the defeat of Britannia imo.
/me enjoyed this episode
Starting to make Zero seem less like a evil meglamanic and more like just a person who wants to help the japanese people...Expecially since now he still wanted forgiveness.

You bring up a good point but look at the circumstances and the difference.
Before, everyone was questioning Euphie's order and they were all very hesitant to follow, it wasn't like the Zero thing where everyone wanted to suppress and shoot them. Euphie was also killed, there isn't much of a reason to go to war if the person who gave the order to slaughter innocent people has been killed. Also, we don't know how Britannia convinced the media to twist the story so they don't look like the bad guys. Since there were much fewer people when Euphie was giving the order, it could have been said that they were known terrorists.
Of course, I have no clue, I'm just speculating, but seeing 1 million people being slaughtered rather than a few hundred will make a huge impact on the rest of the world.
Euphie was also killed, there isn't much of a reason to go to war if the person who gave the order to slaughter innocent people has been killed.
Ah, ok, I see. That's a good point right there.
Were Zero's plan had gone south though, the Chinese and Europeans most likely would've declared all out war on Britannia. Even if they win, all sides would suffer massive casualties. It still seems a bit irresponsible on Zero's part.
But w/e, I guess we're all glad that it didn't go south, lol.

The Chinese have some pretty good Knightmares themselves. Looks like its gonna be all action packed. It also seems like the Japanese princess (forget here name) has some special task to perform. Only if the preview was subbed...

Yeah, I thought about that after I posted it. By now it's kinda late to find a subbed version, it air tomorrow after all. :Haha
I assume you mean the Chinese princess. The task she has to perform is a political marriage. And I think I know who it is but I'm going to keep quiet.

06-07-2008, 09:51 PM
didnt she say to zero something like
"how could you make your newlywed wait"
wouldnt that point to zero being her husband, which could very well be why the chinese are helping right? idk :p i might have missed something
The Chinese princess is marrying a Britannian is what I heard. Which would certainly lead to a falling out with the Black Knights.
