While the continued losing streak for Zero is also starting to get to me, I am expecting an outrageous comeback next week that should make up for it. There also seems to be a lot more C.C. in the preview, so I am really excited.
Lelouch really does seem to have warmed up to Kallen, especially after his outburst and emotional decision in this episode. Was that surprised look from C.C. a look of jealousy? But if so, why did she seem satisfied when Zero declared a head on confrontation?
Geass is extremely underused in R2, but that is not necessarily a bad thing, since there are still no blatant moments when it could have been used but neglected presented so far.
It seems that having a big reputation is taking its toll on Zero. The tactical defeat was mainly due to this. Lelouch underestimated the enemy simply because it was relatively safe to assume that a person that can pilot that well is not as strategically gifted. On the other hand, Zero's abilities (and maybe even dispositions) are quite well known to everyone, giving him a big disadvantage.
Peace.

I can't believe how Xing Ke is now fully working for the eunuchs now. All the Chinese have been rotten so far, except for the little Empress. I fully expected Xing Ke to try to play his own game as soon as the eunuchs were stupid enough to grant him the uber mecha. But no... He's a faithful lapdog now. I wouldn't be surprised if he went all the way down and helped even the Britannians, though I'd be pleased if at least by then he gathered his bleeding wits and realised who in all this mess is still the best bet for China. The man is dying so it makes zero sense he would be doing anything for himself anymore.
It has certainly been a harsh season for Lelouch so far. But now he must at last be victorious or everything will be ruined for him, again, and this time there's no second chance anymore ready and waiting. It's also quite funny Rollo is sitting uselessly back in Japan. The dude could have finished Xing Ke in three seconds.
It's getting to me too. In the beginning I found it sort of funny how Lelouch stressed, but now it's weird. The preview doesn't look that promising for the rebellion from my point of view. It's going to take a whole lot of brainstorming for Lelouch to get them out of that situation. Maybe a surprise appearance by India will happen.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
I found it weird they didn't cut Kallen out of her suit.
Good point there Kraco. Rollo is rotting at the student council room when he could have probably killed every single enemy so far, including Schneizel, Suzaku, Xing Ke, and the rest of the knights. But I guess they can't afford to take him and risk fully exposing Lelouch's cover and endangering Nunnally.
Does anyone have any idea how Lelouch can be at the school during the last part of the episode? Even Suzaku complained about it after the end credits.
Peace.
Lelouch put Xing Ke in a pretty f'ed up situation. He left him at the mercy of the Eunuchs after using the coup to his own advantage. From Xing Ke's perspective, Lelouch would probably use Tian Zi in the same manner. It only makes sense that he offered to help the Eunuchs to save the empress. It was better than sitting around, waiting to be executed.
There was no point in turning against the Eunuchs after obtaining Shen Hu, as his followers were still on a tight leash. The only thing he could do was try to save Tian Zi. He is not an idiot so probably also knew that the Eunuchs were lying when they said that his sins would be pardoned.
From his comments near the end of the episode, it doesn't seem that he would ever willingly fight alongside Britannia. Also, the Eunuchs don't seem to want his help anymore, so I don't think its going to happen. I think that when the dust from this battle settles, Xing Ke will become an OBK ally for the short time that he stays live.
I was actually pleased that Lelouch got humiliated the way he did. He was getting too cocky of his strategic ability. Had it been Schneizel instead of Xing Ke, he would be dead by now.
Maybe it's Rollo in disguise? or someone else. This episode just showed how strong Xing Ke really is. Even Lelouce mentioned it. Too bad he's dying. Xing Ke should have gone to Zero's side.
I saw C.C.'s look as one of pride for the Kallen situation. Whether C.C. is happy with him not being able to sacrifice those close to him, or whether C.C. has grown particularly fond of Kallen (they did spend a great deal of time together at the embassy) I can't say. C.C. doesn't like to see Lelouch back down, since it shows a weakness in him that may not allow him to achieve her ultimate goals.
There's been a lot of my initial comments said, so for now I don't have all that much to add, or at least have the slightest of clues on. I'm would have to guess that the Lelouch at the academy is a faithful body double, but even then, wouldn't that very actor know Zero's true identity? That has got me genuinely stumped.
I'm waiting for the rest of the Chinese to slaughter the eunuchs in cold blood, much in the way Lelouch has Geassed people into offing themselves after completing his tasks.
I must say I enjoyed neither Suzaku nor Anya realizing that that was a picture of C.C. (next to Lelouch no less! Decisive evidence against him) with a bag on her head. Distinctive green locks poking out underneath. While Suzaku hasn't spent as much time as Lelouch or any of the Black Knights around Zero's Concubine, Suzaku should have had a very good idea of her general profile and characteristics by now. Then again, only Rollo and Viletta's team were actively hunting her.
But that scene did bring up something else. Why was Anya so curious about the picture of younger Lelouch? Perhaps the young Lady Earlstreim had a youthful crush of her own within the Britannian Court?
EDIT:
More of a side note:
I understand it was a ceremonial political wedding, but Tianzi had a garter belt on when she was sitting on the bed in the same room with Kaguya.
Should I be, a) disturbed that I'm enough of a lolicon to notice, b) disturbed that Britannia would have a 9 yr old or younger put that on, or c) disgusted at the eunuchs who not only acquiesce to Britannian marriage customs for their Empress, but sell her out in the first place.

Meh... I interpreted that scene as one of those scenes like in some cartoons where a character puts on a mustache then his whole identity is hidden. Don't really know if there's a term that describes those type of things, but yeah...
Rollo can't give away that he's actually betrayed Britania. Yea i think Zero is Rollo in disguise.
That didn't really have to look like Lelouch. I was thinking perhaps it was just Rollo talking from Shirley's point of view, and when he needs to talk, he time-freezes everybody and plays the prerecorded voice of Lelouch.
Have to say, I loved how this episode played out both strategist's moves. It's really tense watching two minds such as their's clash head to head. Just when they said the Shen Hu didn't have a pilot, were saying that just no one wanted to pilot it, or that the G-forces were too strong or something?
Since Ryll's started a trend on picking up details, I smiled when I saw C.C's truck thoroughly decorated with Cheeze-kun. They were everywhere.
Edit: I take that back. Rollo's at the table. Now I'm lost.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I wasn't that sure, but the shen-hu has radiation leaks it seems, explaining why no one should pilot it.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
...A prideful Knightmare that no pilot was able to maneuver....according to Eclipse.
They do mention it later that it doesn't have a radiation system. Judging from what we've seen, I'm concluding that she meant it didn't use radiation as it's main source of power/weaponry, as did the Guren.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
The specs were too high, and similar to a plane with a pilot not up to par, using it can be suicidal.
Like Buff said, Lelouch and Rollo were in the school at the end. They cannot play each other's roles that way.
About the bag on the head thing, I am not sure if the profile of my favorite green witch has been exposed to everyone (I doubt it, except for those actively hunting her), so Anya does not have to be familiar, but Suzaku has seen C.C. once right after Lelouch. Maybe he still has not been informed that it was C.C. that saved Lelouch back then. If the green hair is not known as an indication, that bag on the head would more than suffice to hide someone's identity, though less suspicious it is definitely not.
Peace.
its not like "green hair" is something special in anime anyways... maybe for them its just a "blonde" with a mask on... so it could be everyone and since she had a school uniform nobody could have noticed that she is not a normal pupil disguising as a ghost or someonefrom the ku-klux-klan like cartman did in southpark xD
and that picture of Lelouch + C.C, wasn't it taken during season 1? and who again is Lord Earlstreim/Alstreim? Did we see him alrdy? The connection to Anya is on wikipedia (yet not explained), but thats all and since I'm not sure if that connection was alrdy mentioned in the anime, I won't say it ^^
@plot If Zero isn't Lelouch fighting the chinese army I'm really disappointed, because it's impossible that he's not the one since how he acted how he spoke, simply everything even how he feels torwards his classmates, was done like the real Zero would have done it. It's not possible to fake that (not even by a speaker installed because of body language etc.).. not only that, but if he isn't the real thing, then simply everyone is a mastermind in this series and hyper-intelligent... This would destroy everything and wouldn't be fun to watch.
Picture was taken during Pizza episode of R2.
Anya Alstreim. Nuff said.
Observation about Lelouch/Zero this episode. Each time they showed his face through the mask, only the right side of the face (the eye with no geass) was shown, unlike the other episodes. This may be relevant in terms of identifying whether Lelouch is in battle or not.
Peace.
@KrayZ33:
I only mention C.C.'s distinctive shade because no one else in the series has green hair. While Euphie and Cornelia both had a shade of purple/pink, green has been unique to C.C., and I just went with it having something to do with her witchy heritage.
Lord Earlstreim = Lady Anya Earlstreim, Knight of Rounds Six. Whether she is the daughter of nobility does not really matter, she is given the title of Lord simply for being one of the Knights of Round. She obviously took that picture of Lelouch back when Marianne was still alive and Lelouch was happy. So I wonder if Anya was nobility back then, and had her own little royal crush, or if she was at the palace for some other reason.
One possibility for Anya's mysterious past (assuming she was not nobility back then) was that she joined the Knights of Rounds to become worthy of Lelouch, her childhood crush, only to believe he died in Japan, making her the introverted, cold, ruthless Knight she is today. That would make her rather similar to Suzaku.
Nina's hair is kinda dark green.
