He actually didn't. In episode 15 around the 4 minute range, all you see is the red lasers enter Charles' eyes but you never see them outlined which is characteristic of Geass'd people. So it was pretty clear he was pretending.Quote:

The emperor just shouted in reaction, like he got hit, but all of that may be acting.
In another episode, somewhere in season 1 with C.C. during the Mao arc, it was shown that the light will still fly into the target's eyes even if it is immune, but there will be no effect.
Do not forget that when Lelouch geass'd Charles, they were in another world, possibly one created by Charles mind through some thought amplifier.
So basically the rules there are manipulated by those who understand how to manipulate the correct thoughts.
Charles let Lelouch use what he thought to be his geass on him and played with him. But this was only some mind/dream experience
Nope. Still totally Yukana.Quote:

(The other three have characters in other series you would never guess were voiced by the same person.)
Yukana's always done a great job in voicing C.C. This is just an extension of that. I like both, but I still prefer the haughty, arrogant, and extremely sexy voice from before.
I used to think that Kallen was not voiced as well, until I saw spice and wolf, where Ami Koshimizu arguably exceeds Yukana's performance in Code Geass. Maybe it's just because Kallen has a very straightforward manner of speech, even with her two personalities.
It's true that as of now, I don't think we can conclusively gather whether Charles was acting or not. Like we've discussed, we didn't get close enough to see the red ring, nor did we see the synaptic change in the brain, either of which are able to confirm our suspicions.Quote:

ONCE AGAIN, suzaku proved what an ass he is. having a "condition", when lelouch wants him to save nunnaly..sigh
@Buff - We know that if the target of the geass can't fulfill the order, they will simply stand there. If the emperor was immortal, he would have just stood there dumbfounded if he was given the order to "die!" by Lelouch.
Quite right. I didn't think about that. But then, do these immortal die and revive? We know that they come back, but before then, do they experience a "death"? I'm not sure myself. If it was true however, then it opens up the possibility of Charles dying, then talking again.Quote:

We clearly saw VV acting like nothing when he got hit with the knife on the forehead, but then... why did CC staid down on the very first episode when she was shot? First season I mean.
Do they stay down for a bit and regain conciousness and if they experience more and more deaths (lol) they get up faster?
Ok, that was random.
Excellent! Haven't downloaded an Ali Project song in a while.
Thanks.
Wow, thanks for the link! I love Ali Project!!! :)

Code Geass R2 Episode 17 by GG
I will comment later when people have watched the show...
But I must say,
Spoiler:
I really want Suzaku to die.
Mixed feeling with the episode.
While I approve of Schneizel ruining a truce between Suzaku and Lelouch, I did not quite understand what really happened. What's with this 'who is Suzaku really?'
The orange-haired Knight of Round is a bastard.
What is Gino trying to do telling that to Kallen?
Weird to see Lelouch crying over the fact of Suzaku 'betraying' him, when he has betrayed many. And why the hell did he not say the truth about Euphie? About being it an accident?
Guilford... what will happen now with him?
Isn't sending Rolo a gamble? He could well kill Nunally... and will Lelouch ever fulfill his promise to Kallen? Of rescuing her...
The Suzaku question is about where his loyalties lie.
Gino is trying to get Kallen on their side.
Lelouch didn't "betray" many. To betray someone, you have to give loyalty to them first. Most of the time, Lelouch just deceives and uses them from the get go. Lelouch was surprised and anguished because he never thought Suzaku would betray him in such a way, actually plotting to capture him by giving his word to meet alone at the shrine.
Lelouch didn't tell Suzaku about the whole thing because it is quite unbelievable and would sound like an excuse, but I also think he did so mainly because he genuinely feels responsible for the unfortunate accidents, and by principle had to admit to them like he lied about everything else he did. It was his way of carrying the guilt and punishment for his actions.
You have a point with Rolo, but maybe Lelouch simply has no choice but to send him because of his geass.

Anyone else adore the scene with C2 and her bandage ring?

Lelouch isn't quite stabile these days. I wonder what he really expected when he went to meet Suzaku. Surely not getting betrayed, that much is clear, but it's also hard to believe he would have thought everything would go his way in such a situation. Quite a lot could have gone wrong in any case, and now when something went wrong, he seemed unreasonably distraught. Especially considering Suzaku had already once handed him over to the Emperor.
Sending Rollo is quite a gamble but maybe even Rollo understands that if Nunnally dies, Lelouch is finished, himself.
The Vampire of Britannia was quite a bastard indeed! Let's hope he will die in a spectacular fight in the next ep.
