| To answer a few questions that didn't get answered previously, Suzaku's goal was to rise through the ranks and take Area 11 as his own personal area, since that was a privilege of the Knight of One. He doesn't achieve this, though, because he ends up going along with Lelouch's secret Zero Requiem plan and becomes his Knight of Zero instead. Lelouch and Nunally were sent to Area 11 by their parents in order to protect them from political assassination, but this is communicated as being hypocritical ince they ended up experiencing the horrors of the Britannian invasion of Japan anyway. C.C. as far I remember was being secretly held by Prince Clovis, who was planning at the time to use her as a way to earn more political clout with the emperor, since she had gone missing when she left the Geass order. The reason Lelouch was portrayed as being evil as the emperor was because he was seen as a greedy warmonger who used benevolent acts such as abolishing the social hierarchy of Brittannia to cover up for his supposed desire to rule the world as an authoritarian dictator, combined with the his rampant use of Geass to make every person who comes near him his slave. The reason he did this was to direct the hatred of the world towards him, instead of other people, nations and ethnicities, therefore ending the cycle of hatred. Honestly though, you're right that the pace is incredibly fast. I had to rewatch it a few times myself to actually understand most of it. I think Code Geass would have been way better as a visual novel or even just a book series, but I still think it's one of the greatest TV anime series of all time. Hope this answered some of your questions. |

Vaguelyweebish said: Why WOULDN'T the public know he's Zero by now? Even if Schneizel didn't do the most logical thing by sharing the information that the government has known for a long time now (seriously, of course Lelouch was still Zero all that time! Why did they lure C.C, in????) it wouldn't take a genius to figure out, "These women whom Zero was extremely close to are hanging around Emperor Lelouch, and C.C. even fought by his side when he took over the world. I'm not going to trust this faux symbol of hope or the Black Knights!" CC never appeared with zero or Emperor lelouch in public so there’s no way the general public would be able to make the connection that way. If you notice CC is shown off to the side in the shadows when lelouch takes over as emperor. Furthermore most of the black knights would have only seen CC with zero, not lelouch and vice versa the britanian soldiers lelouch used his geass on would have only seen CC with emperor lelouch, not zero. The only people who would have seen CC with both zero and Lelouch are those who already knew they were the same person anyway, and those people are clearly shown realising that it was all lelouch’s plan when the zero requiem occurs. Also, Its was mentioned in lelouch of the resurrection that there were rumors of lelouch and suzaku being alive among the public after zero Requiem. Well, Thats completely a different topic. |

| 1 - there are some independent countries, but most are under these three. I think EU is voluntary union just like IRL EU. HBE on the other hand conquered and subjugated their colonies by force. These people lost to the conquerors and left with no strength to resist further. Sometimes rebellions happen in various colonies, but they are suppressed by force. (See Russia, Belarus, Syria and Libya as example) Really strong rebellions only possible if someone like Zero will appear, someone they can believe can win against HBE. Chinese Federation I think works on some Asian logic of respect to bigness of China or something like that. 2 - To take sakuradite, Japan has a lot of it. May be for thought elevators as well, but everything related to geass is top secret there. 3 - Charles did not sent CC to Japan, she ran away because she changed her mind about his plan. She than changed her mind again and then again. Woman thing to do. Charles did not wish to protect them, he lied to Lelouch over in C world. He sent them to Japan to lull Japan into thinking he is not planning to invade them: because I will not start a war and endanger my children logic. Japan bought it and was unprepared for the invasion. Alternatively yo might say he wanted to protect them from VV who killed Marianne. However Marianne joked to CC that she is not that good of a mother. So I take Charles lied about protecting them. 4 - After China collapsed, leftover states were afraid that HBE will simply invade them, conquer them and turn them into their colonies. HBE actually started doing just that. Lelouch and Black Knights were the only reasonable organized force they could rely on to protect themselves. Therefore it was more or less up to Lelouch to make any terms he wished from their on. After Lelouch defeated Schneilzel, he made HBE join the UFN as well. Then he bullied other countries to join as well, turning UFN into a world government and unifying the world under his rule by force. Shortly before Suzaku as Zero kills him, they announce his titles as Holy Britannian Emperor, Chairman of UFN as well as CEO of Black Knights. Now that all countries are absorbed into UFN and their militaries are dissolved and absorbed into Black Knights, it would be next to impossible for anyone to rebel or secede. 5 - Sentinel logic: I explained it here https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2062645#msg68458284 6 - Did not thought of it straightaway. Had emotional distaste for everything Britannian, so did not want to achieve his goals this way. Security in Britannia is tight, so it risky to just go there with Geass alone, if something goes wrong then you are in big trouble. Once you are in there is no way out, no fail save like with Zero, who wears mask and can abandon it and pretend nothing happen. Also Emperor and some of his inner circle do know about Geass, that only increases chances that he will be caught and stopped somewhere in the middle of it all. At the end of second season Suzaku as Knight of 7 used his security clearance to let Lelouch thorough all sorts of security checks unchecked. 7 - He forced all countries to join UFN and abolish their independent militaries so that they will never be able to be independent again. Kill everyone who disagreed with him or opposed this in any way. UFN became world government but everyone hated how it was done a gunpoint by force. 8 - No, most of the world would think that new and old Zero are one and the same. Suzaku is also officially dead, so he will not be able to abandon mask of Zero, everyone was told Suzaku, Knight of Zero died in battle with Schneizel. Schneizel did not announced it because it would damage Britannia. If would embarrass Britannia and make it look weak if one of Emperor's children not only started a rebellion but gave all them so much trouble. Other countries might want to exploit this family feud and try play other members of royal family. 9 - Dd not thought that Lelouch would land on Damocles. He did not know that Lelouch need direct eye contact for his Geass to work. He is smart but can't read minds like Mao. 10 - Because by that point everyone hated him and Zuzaku so much, there would be constant uprisings and discontent if both of them alive. So change of head to a pitiful cute crippled girl would allow new government to restore its image. It is just like with new president in democracy, people are willing to give him fresh look and new judgement even if they condemn his predecessor. Nunnally will of course announce that things will be different, better and nicer from their on. Do not forget while both Lelouch and Suzaku are officially dead as far as world concerned. Both of them are actually alive. And Lelouch has Code of Immortality, he will always watch over the world he created from the shadows, like god. |
