I can so see that happening.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
Super fleet battle overshadowed LelouchxC.C I tell you. I felt a kind of long dormant joy seeing them back to back, holding hands...and when C.C. calls Lelouch by his name you just.....melt

The reason I'm miffed at the OotBK isn't that they are fighting Lelouch now. It's because no one seems to care about the irony of their situation at all. I don't disagree with their willingness to fight him but everyone's seeming total lack of respect for all that he did help them achieve galls me. Then you add in the fact that Schneizel is using them just as much as Lelouch was with the only difference being that he's more open about it. It's sad to see.
Anyway as to the battle it was pretty much the opposite of a typical Code Geass battle. Usually the underdog uses lots of named characters to defeat the favorites grunt army. This time the favorite also had most of the named characters. Somehow it's not as fun when the other side barely seems to have a chance tactically or strategically, even after a ZOMG h@x move.
I went back over the battle and not only did Schneizel's named characters completely destroy Lelouch's grunts but I don't even remember seeing a single instance of grunt on grunt combat. Maybe it was part of the chess analogy though. Lelouch only has pawns, a Queen, and a Bishop, with a Rook/Bishop potentially on the way. Schneizel has one knight, and through the OotBK two Queens, a Rook a bishop, and another Knight.
I'm finding it hard to have faith in this battle being won with any sort of strategy or clever tactic. Queen Suzaku could still be used to pull of an upset but the mass army of high ranking pieces bearing down on Lelouch's means it's going to come down to either a mistake (Kallen's change of heart?) or a crazy last minute surprise(Nina's project) to finish this thing off. In either case I'm seeing a Gundam Seed ending type set up where there's a giant battle involving a superweapon and the people trying to stop it. Then once the super weapon is taken out everyone just throws down their weapons and dances around in joy and fellowship and it's over. Geass has seemed more entertaining than SEED was so far and it would suck to see it end almost exactly the same.
And putting my two cents in on the actual current topic, Nunally has never seemed particularly bright in the first place. I can't really blame her for being manipulated by Schniezel who has manipulated pretty much everyone else already. But still, it's an unfortunate character assassination and I think the only reason she's still around is because they wanted the shock value of her appearance for the previous episode and they can't just get rid of her, though they certainly seem to have done just that with Cornelia...

Who knows what could have happened with Nunnaly had Lelouch treated her differently during the first video conference. But he did what he did with all of his old allies: Pushed her away as far as he could. Despite all his public speeches it seems somewhat likely he made quite an unholy pact with Suzaku and is heading down a dim road for himself, though likely better for the rest of the world. I wonder if Kallen will learn his plan or if she simply can't kill him for old times sake. Seeing how we are running out of episodes, either could happen, I suppose, depending on when and how they intend to reveal what Lelouch and Suzaku specifically aim for.
Hopefully we will still learn C.C's real name, or I will be REALLY miffed.
C.C. is Lelouch's real mother, Marianne acted as a pseudo mother to Lelouch and Nunally in order to further their plans of destroying God. Rolo (which in Japanese can be pronounced Lolo) is Lelouch's real brother and Nunally is a fake as we've seen V.V. use her at will, she was definitely inserted into Lelouch's life randomly. When C.C. revealed her name to Lelouch, he realized she was his mother and also the mother of Rolo. (it all makes sense!!)
Also, I realize you are all capable of finding this yourselves but I found it amusing so I'm gonna post it here.
Schneizel’s skill list
Let’s see.
Aura of FABULOUS: Passive skill. Reduces all damage done to Schneizel by 75%. This also restores MP equal to the reduced damage amount.
Throw Money: Does damage equal to [amount of money thrown] * [some ridiculously high number].
Float System: Grants an ally float status.
Hadron Cannons: Fires the Hadron Cannons in a randomly targeted AoE.
Druid System: Reads enemies stats.
Charm: Causes Charm. Has 150% accuracy with females, and 75% accuracy with males.
Manipulate: Allows him to control an enemies actions. 50% chance of success.
Pretty Words: Heals allies HP.
Orange Implant: Revives Jeremiah with cyborg implants. Only V.V. gets the second stage of Orange Implant though.
Euphy: Nina-only target status effect and debuff removal spell.
Checkmate: Causes Berserk with perfect accuracy.
Protection of Interference: Passive skill. When Schneizel’s life is in danger, Suzaku will automatically show up in Lancelot Conquista. Gets disabled later when he gains the Black Knights summon, but its not like he really needs it with the Aura of FABULOUS activated.
FLEIA Warhead: Fires a FLEIA warhead with the usage time and area limiter on.
Decoy: Creates a clone decoy of an ally. If the person it’s used on runs out of HP, the decoy will die instead.
Black Hole of Intelligence: AoE toggle. Debuffs Intelligence and Wisdom -100% to enemies within the AoE.
Mass Confusion: Causes Confusion with perfect accuracy in a large AoE.
FLEIA Arrow: “You’re drawing a bow on the Emperor of Britannia?” Yes Lelouch, yes he is.
Auto-Turret: With the snap of his fingers, Schneizel summons an auto-turret which attacks whatever he’d like it to. If the turret fires his way, he will be completely unaffected.
Black Knights: Summons the Black Knights~
Unlimited FLEIA Works: Replaces FLEIA Warhead later. Fires a FLEIA warhead with the limiter off. The cast time is faster and the AoE is larger.
Schneizel’s Mask: Self-buff. Raises all stats.

Cornelia lacks two important traits Nunnally possesses.
1. She isn't the center of anybody's life.
2. She isn't a blind paraplegic which doesn't give her immunity to nuclear blasts.
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

Probably the main reason that most people here want Cornelia to be alive because simply.. she's hot.
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
Lelouch's Requiem of Zero probably will be he making himself the enemy of the world to unite them all, and then sacrificing himself to kill Schneizel and end up the curse of Geass by dieing as well.
That is the impression I get by pushing Kallen and Nunnally away with his lies and actions.
He isn't pushing CC away because she needs to die alongside him, so no code remains and no more geass can be created.
Suzaku is going to die as well just because he wants to die.
How can C.C. and Lelouch both die? It's an either or situation because of the geass and code relationship.
Peace.
I believe that part was was the "promise" that Suzaku mentioned. If he helped them, they promised he could die.
Side stuff about Conelia and machine gun, the gun fired at the area in front of Schneizel's feet. They'd probably use this point to show Cornelia come limping in with leg/abdomen wounds.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
What little respect I've had for Nunnally is gone now. She held herself up pretty well when she was governor but now she's just screaming "Manipulate me!". I'm surprised she didn't ask Schneizel to let her feel his hand, since that's her foolproof lie detector test lol. I seriously felt my stomach turn when she asks Schneizel in her sweet little voice "big brother, can I be the one to push the big shiny button that will nuke everyone?" *shivers*
On top of all the comments made so far, I also must express my disgust at Ohgi. If it weren't for Zero, he would still be a second rate car bombing terrorist blowing up innocent civilians in Toyko. He would never have met Viletta, never would be in OoTBK, he'd be NOTHING. And he just instantly turns on him without a second thought.
I seriously hope he dies soon, also for reducing the once-awesome Viletta into some passive, subservient molly maid of a useless character.
Aside from that, awesome ep

I know that... but if they wished to end the Geass, as I believe, they would need to figure out something. Hey I would prefer if they survived... but seeing how the show is progressing, I do not see any other thing happening. Why push everyone else away if you are going to end immortal? And leaving CC behind will just ensure someone else gets Geass someday and the cycle renews.
Maybe there was a lead lined refrigerator lying around the hanger that Nunnally was able to hide in and ride out the blast.
Chaosk made me think of something:
What if Orange-kun Geass canceler doesn't cancel Charles Geass, or someone's geass we do not know yet, or have forgotten....
After all Orange-kun robot part was design by Charles' scientists... They had extensive knowledge of the Geass, so it'd be possible.
I'm still very much impressed at how fake Marianne death scene was, and how Nunally was inserted. It really wasn't much different from Rollo's insertion.
Also that memory of Lelouch frolicing with Suzaku and Nunally has a too sweet tone to it.
Well again, I may be wrong, but still, I wonder.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Lelouch is already a siscon and now Chaos would make him a mothercon as well... Have some mercy, for pity's sake!
Brother too!

i hope Schnizel dies...
I was just remembering... did Kirihara died? Since Kaguya is obviously leading Kyoto now, alone without the rest of the 6 families.
And I guess Ougi believes Kirihara was geassed into believing Lelouch was trustable... since he had seen Lelouch's face and told them to trust him.
Oh man I had really problems to remember who fights against who and why...the story got far to complex, it looked like a "free for all" to me...
however this episode was pretty good... finally some action
but man, why did nobody sneak up to nunally and trigger the bomb... would have been a lot of fun when everyone thinks that she triggered it even though no enemies were there.
and the people start to ask her "so you didn't trigger it? .... did you _see_ who did it?!"
btw the way Cornelia died was a bit.... lame...
not only that a full automatic sentry gun killed her by thinking of her as an enemy (hell how did they manage to do that anyway) but it was somehow a bit too fast.
I just think it's kind of ironic that after Charles' demise, we get Schneizel: the epitome user of lies and masks Charles seeked to destroy, and Lelouch&Co chose over stopping time.
