Code Geass R2 ep 9 Bride of Shukinjou [Archive]

How sad that Lee might lose his only true love if Zero forces himself upon the child by using his geass.
Forces himself upon her? Gimmie a f-en break. She's just a political hostage.

Lulu x Kallen? :sad

Damn, here I was thinking Nina was going to grow into an interesting character after she told off Millay, but no. She has to go psycho again. I guess I should have known that chess game wasn't going to finish. I figured Lulu might lose and he'd reveal himself to Schnizel.

I think the best part of this episode was all the side banter between the characters. Not much C.C., but at least it wasn't an all-mecha episode.

Lulu, Kallen, and C.C having a loving problem o.o. Chess games, and political hostages.

The only thing I'm starting to wonder about is whether they intend to just cut this series short or milk its tits for money by stretching it to eternity. I'm hoping that Orange-kun's appearance signifies a faster pace towards the destruction of Britannia :o.

It has been pointed out that Lelouch made an illegal move. But Code Geass is not a chess anime so I think we can overlook it.

And I think C.C. was jealous when Kallen was on top of Lelouch :oShe looked pretty indifferent to me. Then again, I don't consider C.C. to be all that against an "open relationship".

lolwhut at this episode.
It's funny how many people I've heard react that way on other forums.

I think it was. Given the greater and greater lengths Lelouch goes to to enact his revenge (taking over another country?), I'm beginning to wonder if this will be a tragic-ending anime. Lelouch consumed by his Geass and his quest for revenge (a la Captain Ahab, or Edmond Dantes in Gankutsuou).

How was it tragic? He got what he deserved...........

Yeah and as he claimed "I'm the only one who can defeated Zero." Yeah, of course, after all, he is the one who spoiled zero's victory in part one. Lulu needs his fake brother to survive him, Lee, Suzaku and the knights of round in the last episode.

Lee and Suzaku, LOL, the two holy knights.........It looks like Lulu is going to create another love tragedy.

06-09-2008, 05:45 AM

Everyone on MyAnimeList is doggin on this episode, saying the show has jumped the shark with all its randomness. I don't see it that way.

How was it tragic? He got what he deserved...What exactly did he deserve in this case? He deserves to become a political prisoner in Area 11 after he gets upset about his mother dying and his father ignoring it? He deserves to get separated from his sister? I mean, do you even look at what you're replying to before you start typing? If you don't understand anything about the structure of literature maybe you shouldn't reply.

A tragedy in the sense the hero (or anti-hero in this case) is lost in his own cause and ends up broken. Whether you agree with the character's ideals or not, in the classical sense the main character is supposed to persevere over the hardship he faces.

Stormslayer

06-09-2008, 06:02 AM

What exactly did he deserve in this case?

No one force him to rebel against his father and kill his siblings. He did because he feel good, hence he deserves to lose all his friends and loved ones (Except those who are rebelling with him), which is happening right now, you can't deny it.

Whether he lost in his own cause or not, is entirely due to his extreme actions in handing out his goal. Hence, he deserves it.

I found it surprising that Lelouch met his match in Chess against Schniezel. Does it mean Schniezel is more intelligent than him, or just implying that Schniezel won't let anything hold him back when making his decisions. The latter being Lelouch's fatal flaw so far such as not killing Suzaku, worrying about his sister and even his peers.

Guy

06-09-2008, 06:20 AM

OK, being Chinese, I have to point something out: Why are the eunuchs running the country? Throughout Chinese history, eunuchs were looked down upon in the courts; they don't do anything other than assist the Emperor in boring tasks such as bringing documents to him. It would have made more sense for the scholars to rule the country; they are the Emperor's advisors. Whatever, I'm being too literal here.

The two week break was worth it, I guess, as this episode ends in another unexpected cliffhanger. Like everyone said, Nina was annoying in this episode.

I am now starting to have really negative opinions against Lelouch. He took Tianzi as a hostage! Were she truly an empress, my thoughts would have been different, but just look at her age! She's just a child, and yet Lelouch took her as a hostage for his own political gains

Sting Rae

In normal circumstances, the Eunichs would serve as advisors at best to the Emperor but in this case the Empress being so young and lack political knowledge would make the ideal puppet for them to achieve their own political means. There's basically no one else as far as I can tell who can offer the Empress advices besides those clowns, and no one would acknowledge Xing He as an advisor, at least publicly.

Lind Ni Britannia

06-09-2008, 07:02 AM

that promise Xingke made with Tianzi almost annoyed me cuz it had "Japanese are assuming other people use their mannerisms" in it. good thing Xingke justified it saying "this is how the outside world does it" XD well, that's pretty random on my part. i think the kind of relationship between Xingke and Tianzi is cute, like a really swell brother-sister one.

Milly's dress = win

Nina = death with a bunch of tables

Schneizel never planned on winning that chess game, imo. He accepted because it was a way he could read Zero, as per the "if you want to know someone, compete with them" scenario. And he got just what he wanted, lol.

great episode. worth the 2-week wait. Orange-kun knows about Lelouch with certainty now, lol. glad to see him without the insanity...or is it?

Kallen x Lulu goes up by 1 point this episode. i think C.C. mentioning hot sauce in that situation is cute, as it's like she's covering up even just a bit of jealousy. :P

in any case, can't wait for the next ep. Xingke in the Shen Hu! vs. Kallen, no less. this week will be torture once again.

You're ignoring how this whole story began. Lelouch leaves the family in protest for how his mother's murder was handled, and his father sends him and Nunally to Japan, there was no reason for that. In fact, he was using them as a political tool exactly the same way the Chinese government was using the Empress forcing her into that marriage.

Whether he lost in his own cause or not, is entirely due to his extreme actions in handing out his goal. Hence, he deserves it.You're getting off the topic. My original statement was that I can see this turning into a Tragedy, and you're like "lol, tragedy? He deserves it." My calling it a tragedy has nothing to do with how I feel about that characters or their morals. All I'm talking about is the structure of the story itself. Rather than this turning into a story of Lelouch's successful revenge against his father and a New World for his sister, it could be a story of his decay into madness. That still makes it a Tragedy, even if you're not rooting for Lelouch. Just like a story about Hitler's final days is a Tragedy even if you're a Jewish viewer. The fact you don't like Hitler doesn't make it a Comedy.

But you still don't get what I'm talking about, because you're still trying to reason what's happening to Lelouch as being "justice". This isn't about whether the main character is the good guy or not, and if what happens to him is just, given his actions. it's about the outcome for him in the prose, whether he fulfills his goal in the story.

Just stop before you look even more ridiculous. :babies:

Sorry, his actions destroy whatever sympathy I had for him since season one. He killed his sibling just because his father exiled him. Nice logic.............

And although goal is the end result, one must consider the process of getting to it. The point that he fail to get revenge and fallen into madness is all because of his own actions and thoughts. His end is what he choose for himself and no one else is responsible. I see no point of calling it "tragic" . Its a all expected outcome but people just refuse to buy it.

Just like a story about Hitler's final days is a Tragedy even if you're a Jewish viewer. The fact you don't like Hitler doesn't make it a Comedy.

Hilter's end a tragedy? You have strange definition of tragedy. Almost everyone I know think that Hilter deserve his sorry end.

Just stop before you look even more ridiculous.

You are the one making no sense. See your "Hilter" example. I bet if you ask a Jew, he will say Hilter deserve his end without a second thought.

No, Schniezel gets to know Lelouch's true character through the chess.

Not really true, in the Ming dynasty, eunuchs were very powerful, some of them even control the secret police of that time. But they didn't have complete control and normally, they will ally themselves with other government official or dukes, something which is lacking in this anime.

nx6

06-09-2008, 09:10 AM

Hilter's end a tragedy? You have strange definition of tragedy.
:mad: No, I don't actually. Sadly, I must stoop to this:

trag·e·dy (trāj'ĭ-dē) n.
pl. trag·e·dies

A drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow, especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances.
The genre made up of such works.
The art or theory of writing or producing these works.

A play, film, television program, or other narrative work that portrays or depicts calamitous events and has an unhappy but meaningful ending.
A disastrous event, especially one involving distressing loss or injury to life: an expedition that ended in tragedy, with all hands lost at sea.
A tragic aspect or element.

The tragedy I am talking about is in red. The one you are talking about is in blue. They are literally different meanings. I thought I made that clear in my last post, but apparently I have to hit you over the head with a heavy book to get you to see.

You are the one making no sense. See your "Hilter" example. I bet if you ask a Jew, he will say Hilter deserve his end without a second thought.
:rolleye09 Seriously, do not talk to me about this again until you've been through a few college English courses, or a good writer's workshop lasting at least a month.

It would have been clearer if you show that dictionary in the first place instead of using irrelevant examples like Hitler.

Hitler was not an "irrelevant example" as you would put it. nx6 used one of history's greatest examples of tragedy to show you the meaning that he had used and you so blatently brushed off. When one says that a show/book/series of events might thus end tragicaly, it is implied that it will end with a sadness pertaining to the main character, or those around the main character. If you had stopped and taken some time to reflect upon what nx6 was saying, then you would have understood the meaning that he was trying to convey to you.

nx6

06-09-2008, 10:37 AM

It would have been clearer if you show that dictionary in the first place instead of using irrelevant examples like Hitler.
The first example I used was Moby Dick, one of history's greatest tragedies. Also, Gankutsuou, a highly praised anime for an example "closer to home" for this forum. I guess I should have chosen the mother of all examples: Romeo and Juliet.

Anyway, now that this is passed us. A tragedy would be a ending style that could show the powerlessness of Lelouch against the world, sort of like Death Note in a "we were really rooting for the protagonist, but they bit off more than they could chew" sense.

I'd think Lelouch would have some backup plan for sating Xing Ke's anger worked up rather quickly, along the lines of everyone getting out alive. He really doesn't need to keep going around making people angry.

Yes, Nina should be kept leashed up in the lab.

@nx6: I reacted in that way because that's what I really thought for most of it - there was a bit of randomness. Overall though I liked it, or I wouldn't have bothered commenting :).

Oh and I almost forgot about Nina. She was so damn annoying... gah. "Eupehmia-sama's enemy! KILLLL!" in that shrill, impossibly annoying voice of hers -_-'.

Tianzi or whatever her name is being pathetic, which leads me to believe she's going to grow into a proper Empress and be all majestic and badass or die.

I liked the episode , very much. It had many things , it showed us a glimpse of Xingke's past , it showed a little about how the Chinese Federation is ruled ,and most importantly it had Schneizer.

I liked it , till the very end just before the part when Lelouch starting laughing like a madman. I don't like how they show him more like a hero (*points at previous episode's ending*) and now they are back with the anti-hero stuff. I don't mind either , but stick to one style damn ^^.

No he already stated that his original plan is to control the Chinese empire through using his geass on Tianzi.

Of course, that is provided that he could escape the onslaughter of Suzaku and Xingke (and possibly orange kun) next chapter. If Tianzi dies during the process, Xingke will be another Suzaku and join the Britannia in the hunt for Lulu's blood.

I think lulu will escape to India.

true, but that was Suzaku and Shirley's only implication. Kallen and Lelouch have had more moments. in fact, almost each episode in R2 so far has given them at least one scene with only the two of them in it, or where something between them is implied. ;)

ep. 1 - when they bumped into each other
ep. 2 - the scene in that command room
ep. 3 - Kallen complaining about C.C. and Lelouch tricking them[or her, as C.C. said]
ep. 4 - one episode where nothing related to the two of them happened
ep. 5 - talking inside the costume
ep. 6 - nothing here either
ep. 7 - you know what happened here lol
ep. 8 - nothing here
ep. 9 - ROFU

so yeah. :P

Just the entire Chinese empire, a stage in his new plan to give him enough power to destroy Britannia (Notice how his declared plans change from making Japan independence in season one into destroying Britannia in season two without a word of protest from his knight)

However, since Lulu is likely to use the Indians in the same way as he used the Japanese, another chess piece in his game for revenge.

i dont know why people think he'll go to india, that's silly, they've made NO appearances in the story. AT ALL. Besides, a whole other "fleeing to another country" event would be redundant and unoriginal.

Isn't India supplying the knighmares to the black knights?

Plus, I think they also mentioned that India wants to seperate from the Chinese federation.

Then by helping India, wouldn't they alienate the Chinese? The Chinese officials are Brittania's ass kissers, so they may form an alliance. Pretty bad idea imo.

the Chinese are kissing everyone's asses. first they give a manmade island to the Black Knights, then kiss Britannia's ass. since Zero has the Empress now, they're back to kissing Zero's ass. it's like a stupid mood swing.

Regardless of whose asses they kiss, by helping India, Zero WILL alienate the rest of the Chinese Federation, and therefore, the Chinese Federation will help Britannia to capture Zero in order to keep India.

Oh, technically, there's one country's ass who they haven't kissed, and that's the EU's ass. ;)

i said appearances. No one from India has been shown in this anime.

An unknown figure/government with no face probably won't have enough guts to house the Black knights, and they aren't even "officially" broken off from China yet.

No one from China was shown also until this season.

They've talked about China a lot, but no one made an appearance. The same could happen to India, with them talking about them a lot first then after a while, some of their people will start to make an appearance.

^Nonetheless, it's still pure speculation. We were revealed quite a bit about the Chinese this season so far, so it's reasonable that the Chinese will play a factor in this season's story. Unless they start to show a lot about the Indians, I doubt the Indians will play a big part.

That being said, why are the Europeans hardly ever shown? *just curious*
