Will a free-falling ship just break apart if there was no uneven air resistance? I guess the point I was trying to say was that there wasn't a point where a a ship could exert it's weight if it was lifted with an evenly distributed force, hence no need to support it.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I think what Buffalobiian is saying makes more sense. The reason ships are built on struts is so that the keel of the ship does not support the entire weight of the ship at any point (This is what would happen if the ship was placed on land). In water, hydrostatic pressure forces come into play and are distrubuted across both the keel and the section of the hull that is submerged. This distrubution of force across the bottom ensures that the hull does not split.
Now imagine a torpedo blast right at the center of the keel that momentarily exerts a force (say equal to the ships weight). This is the equivalent to placing the center of the keel of the ship on a sharp point on land (much worse than simply having the entire keel support the weight of the ship which would also result in a snap). Consequently, the torpedo doesnt even necessarily have to exert a force equal to the weight of the ship to still be able to snap it in 2.
Anyways, this isnt really what happens with a big rising air bubble. Turbulent flow regions are created around the air bubble as it goes up and this messes up the normally symmetrical pressure forces being exerted on the hull on either side of the keel. As a result, there is danger of the boat turning over which is exactly what happened in the episode. At no point does the bubble cause the entire wieght of the ship to be supported on the keel.

I'm currently downloading it and will check wether there is problem with it (it happened in the past)

I think there will be a recap episode or something next week since there is no preview, dammit.
No (or not enough, but then again that is always the case) C.C., no credit for this episode.
Peace.
I wonder what they can do after such an ep.
if some cheapo were to destroy the iceberg... maybe.
Does Lelouche think he has enough people amongst this large group to help organise a massive rebellion against britania worldwide?

It has something to do with some stupid special in Akiba, and the vaguest of attachments to CG because some idol will make her VA debut some time in the future.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
It was a very nice touch on Zero's part. Give Nunnally the appearance of being perfectly pure in her intentions, while forcing the burden of shooting or not upon Suzaku and the other Rounds. That way, Nunnally would still look like she had the proper intentions, and her administrators were betraying her and killing one million potentially innocent (but certainly not) people. That in turn would give a huge blow to the reputation of Britannia, possibly causing regions already conquered in believing that Britannia will not honor such treaties, and that ones still fighting have only oblivion as their option to not fighting.
As a bonus, it takes a huge chunk of Area 11's labor base away.
Since Sayako knew that the real Zero was aboard, she now is fully informed of his identity, what he was striving for, and what he just accomplished for Nunnally. I assume that even though she was recruited into the Black Knights, she still very much cared for Lelouch and Nunnally, since the two never once belittled her when she served them.
I'm still left with two questions from this episode:
- I wonder what Viletta will do now. She knows Ogi still cares for her, and is still willing to protect her.
- How exactly is Lelouch and Rollo's absence from school explained? Maybe I missed it, but I would think that the two of them leaving, coinciding with the mass exodus, would light a few bulbs. I would think that the Student Council might notice something, along with affirming the suspicions of both Suzaku and Nunnally.
@KrayZ33:
In threads that are dozens of pages, I understand, but this one isn't that long...but all the Black Knights things with Sayoko was in the final four episodes of season 1.
Deithard recruited her into the Intelligence side of the Black Knights back in season 1. She's the one that set off the Gefjun disrupter that trapped Suzaku at the Academy in eps 25-26.
....Not to mention they've shown her in the OP of every episode this season on the Black Knight's side, and we've seen her in China with Diethard, Kaguya, and Raksharta no less than 3 times.

Liked this ep, everything felt like it flowed decently and the story was actually interesting again. Lelouch has made a clean break from Area 11 but now will he fight Britannia on some other front or just let the OotBK settle down in ChIna and move on to some other method of fighting on his own. Either way I hope the next few eps involve more C.C. as she was annoyingly absent most of this episode.
I loled at this episode. I had "let my people go" ringing in my ear after watching this.
Anyway, Im glad that that the rebellion will leave japan. Iv been looking forward to see how Zero and the OotBKs will fight on the world stage.

That was a well balanced episode, and the manner which Zero escaped was just excellent. Nothing like a little trickery
I think that the Chinese Federation will start to pulls some strings from here on as suggested by the talk with Xing Ke.
One cannot guess what will happen in 09 and that's great.
Now on the downside ; who the fuck cares about that stupid special in Akiba
Very interesting. Zero has made the proclamation that nothing can strip a nations identity as long as they have pride. Methinks he's going to be sailing around in the ocean picking up other Numbers to fight for his cause.
It doesn't really matter now if Britainiana knows Zero's identity. They've already exiled him as punishment. He's decided to end his rebellion in Area 11 and give his friends and family a place where they can be at peace. He's moving on and fighting his battle elsewhere.How exactly is Lelouch and Rollo's absence from school explained? Maybe I missed it, but I would think that the two of them leaving, coinciding with the mass exodus, would light a few bulbs. I would think that the Student Council might notice something, along with affirming the suspicions of both Suzaku and Nunnally.
It does matter, since if he causes too much of a ruckus, there is always Nunnally to take as a hostage and use against him.
Still, it was a dangerous gamble. There is no way Lelouch can be sure how Suzaku has changed in that year. He might very well have ordered the execution of the BKs. What I hate about this episode is the fact that it opened up the possibility of having Suzaku and Lelouch eventually teaming up, especially with Suzaku's doubt about Lelouch's intentions with regards to Euphy's death.
Peace.
Who put the first candle in that pond thingy that already had Euphemia on it? Was it Lelouch? Cornelia?
And Xing Ke has a life-threatening disease I guess? We need to see more of him, tbh. His fighting skills seem to be on par with Suzaku's, and his logic and thinking skills seems to be quite adequate as well.
i cant beleave nobody comented on 17:38 lower right corner i loled so hard i woke up my wife i still giggle
Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

This was clearly inspired by V for Vendetta.
With this episode, we finally see a major advancement in plot. Sure, the last couple of eps were dealing with some of the problems that happened during the year break, winning a love deprived brother, and doing some of the good (but repeated) feats from last season. This last move takes Zero's fight to a new level, and potentially acquiring other resistance armies as allies, starting with the Chinese Federation.
What I liked was that they finally tried something new (if you don't count the Methane Hydrate), and revived the awesome trickery that was CG S1.
As for Suzaku and Lelouch potentially teaming up, I guess I don't really mind as long as it leads there naturally, rather than a forced ending because the director wants it to end that way.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
The way I see things Suzaku may be the one to make Lelouche's dream come true.
He will be the one living in a beautiful world of peace with Nunally, thanks to Lelouche of course.
At least for some days/weeks it's what will happen in area 11.
It's not sure it will last, but in a way, it is already happening.

This episode was awesome, even though it was a bit funny with all those Zero's there but still it was awesome...
and it felt like i was watching a movie or something? this were only 24 minutesright? and yet SOOOOO much happened! its actually hard to believe
this is the best episode of s2 so far in my opinion! to be honest I thought of stopping watching it because it got boring, but now it got me back
and I start to like anya... she is actually a pretty cute character :P
Haha oh man, it feels like season 2 will end in like ~2 or 3 episodes now.... yet we have so many things left which need explanation etc.
will season 2 also have 26 episodes?
wow... really there was not even a single second which was boring this episode... everything was well done
edit: btw I don't want to make it better than it actually was but really... this episode was very good.
