----------------------------------------
New OP & ED! FLOW is way berter than orange range.
Orange!!! You so cruel! What a relief Sayoko survived.
V.V. is uncle of Cornelia? then he is brother of the emperor...
Veletta talked to Ougi!
Orange became Lulu's side. I didn't expect this.
Agaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Shirley Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
oh it's so sad... I couldn't enjoy the new ED at all...
Now Lulu's enemy is changed from Britania to V.V. cult.

Considering how Orange-centered picture drama was, Its not surprising - after all, the only reason he wanted to go on to society's highest level - knight of one, was because he failed to protect Marianne :[

He was trapped in a "Sakuradaite" canceller like system.

Lulu bursted his anger against V.V.cult, but Shirley obviously killed by Rollo. I wonder how he reacts when he know the truth.

But the revenge on Zero propelled Orange. It's surprising for me to see him surrender so quickly.

Nothing is impossibe for Black Knight tech team. They can make any super machines from the invincible KMF to the secret weapon which terminates Tokyo instantly.

BTW, I stop creating the episode discussion from the next episode (unless nobody does it for 1h after it's aired). My email box is overflowed with CG reply mails.

"Tokyo destruction" was done with the simple knowledge on how it was built - Ie, since it was "city on the city on the city which is on the city", the "blocks" would be in need of being replaced over the time. All Lulu did was time the release of whatever was holding the blocks together(with a bit of geassing there and there) to fall apart.

As for the "canceller" - it was the very same technology they used to stop Lancelot in R1, the very same technology Guren is equiped with - Jeremiah's body is still cyborg-ized, and, thus, in a sense not that different from other mecha.

What the heck, why kill off Shirley? Didn't want her to end with Lulu or anything, but still. Though it seems once Jeremiah uses the geass canceler, it allows a re-geassing. Also, new OP and ED are good!

Shirley got Rick-ROLOed ; ] Conversation between Orange and Lulu was praiseworthy..for a latin soap opera. Other than that, great episode.

Considering that Jeremiah went into emo mode every time he remembered the death of Marianne, I do not think it was that ooc for him :)

After all - all what he tried to do or did was for the sake of Marianne, which he failed to protect. He tried to make up for that, to become Knight of One, to be able to find the ones guilty for Marianne's, Lulu's and Nunnally's "deaths". His life objective was dedicated to these three persons, so its not that surprising for him to react like that.

Nevermind on how he was portrayed, he was still honorable person and member of Marianne's guard, as seen in picture drama about him.

Less Bullshit and more original Geass. A pretty good episode really. (although its not saying much based on what we've gotten so far) Why is it that every time there is a dramatic death in GC, I have to laugh? Must be because of the irony lol. Did Orange even need to cancel all the Geass in that area? It just feels like this whole thing could have been easily avoided. But this way they can get rid of a rather useless character, and now they can put Lulu in his: WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR!?!?!?!? mood.

And those Gurren designs look an awful lot like those in Tekkaman Blade.

btw I HATE Ali Project, why did they get to have another ending >.>

I wasn't surprised that Shirley died, but I was surprised that it was Rollo who killed her.
Also, lol @ Sayako, the shinobi maiden =P

The new OP is pretty good btw, though the song could have been better, imo (still, I find this OP to be better than the previous one).

Hmmm, if you're on about Orange being cut up about Marriane's death, well it was mentioned in R1 and in the 'Bonus Material' it got referred to and elaborated on there as well. So it's nor completely left field.

But if, like many, you're only following the episodes as they come out, then yes, it does seem like a bit of an ass-pull.
Poor Shirley.... *sniff* well at least she got her moment of happiness at the end of 12.

that's why we have articles like these:

"Information not actually mentioned within the show, but only found in other material related to the franchise. The difference between this and normal merchandising is that this information may actually be relevant to understanding the plot, making the audience wonder why the writers didn't put it in the show to begin with.

For example, many anime OVAs based on a manga begin with a One We Prepared Earlier situation and rarely explain themselves under the assumption an OVA (being an occasional test run for a series) will typically be watched by someone who has read the original manga.

Other information can be found in text novels, video games, radio dramas, and image songs. Though if you don't have the money for all that, your best bet is The Other Wiki.

Fairly common in anime, this is mostly unknown in American shows. However, it's very common in American comic books, possibly because of the assurance the sterotypical fan is obsessive enough to collect supplemental material. "

New technology? nothing new in that this week.

Inconsistent back stories? Jeremiah's character was defined even before R2 started in Episode 4.33(aka Picture Drama 5), where he talks to Villeta(just before the Suzaku parade) about his feelings, having failed to protect Marianne, Lelouch, Nunally...and now Clovis, etc etc etc. The whole picture drama shows that the only two reasons on why Jeremiah is trying so hard to get the highest military role possible - Knight of One, is because of his little sister and wish/promise_to_himself to bring the killers of Marianne family into the light.
Sayoko? We already know that she was no ordinary maid ever since her "oaths" in the diary material and how she saved Nunally from Mao in R1.


And did I hear an insult to CLAMP character designs? well whatever, next time - arguments please...

They are probably going for the "lol it was someone else scenario" here.
Everything from the expressions Rolo made to the sorta foreshadowing in the previous episodes. It would be too cheap to have Rolo as the killer. For now they just want you to think he did it.

Totally doubt it. I count on redemption type ending, where having finished his "mission" of life, he goes back into shadows, together all those who remember him (like Kallen, Sayoko, Nunally and Lelouch living in some quiet farm with the news about something like peace treaties between countries going on the radio)

Lelouch did not do anything which could be considered as really evil. If anything, for now he is the Batman of anime - the one to do the judgement, bu tnot the one to rule it later on.

Unless Rollo fell asleep while using his geass, I just can't see any other person doing that - the main point, i bet won't be "who killed iher for real", but "how and will Lulu find out the truth that it was Rollo? How will Rollo try to get out of the situation?)


overall I see Rollo trying to blame it on V.V(would fit "he is guilty for all the stuff") or Suzaku(would paralel on How Suzaku blamed Lulu for Yufie's death) or even Orange(cause he is the only danger to Rollo now - an easy way for Lulu to finish Rollo off)

Holy crap what an episode. New OP yay - at least better than the old one anyway. Sayoko Ninja! Suzaku saves Lelouch saves Shirley! Orange flips sides ftw! Villetta+Ohgi! Shirley talks about forgiveness with Suzaku. Uh-oh Rolo you f'ed up now! We find out Lelouch can geass someone again after they've been cleared by Orange. NO SHIRLEY don't die and give all the gay Shirley haters the satisfaction! Damn she did anyway. New ED - meh.

He did use his time-stop geass on her. So they would have to suspend a LOT of disbelief to explain.

1. Why he time geassed her at all if not to kill her.
2. Who else had a motivation.
3. How they were outside of Rolo's geass range - ran in and killed her (or sniped her and why)

I dunno seems WAY too far-fetched but I guess not impossible.

it's just you...that was definitely a gunshot wound.
It was sad about shirley she said the taboo word (nunally) if only she didn't say that then rollo wouldn't have shot her. Rollo's prolly going to kill nunally to if she ever gets to be with lulouche again ;__;.
But I really love the way this series is going right now, I mean in a way it's alright that shirley died cuz I didn't want to see her get together with lulouche =__=. And its kinda funny that lulu gets a great fighting piece in exchange for his dearest friend. kyaaa x333 I can't wait to see the rest ~~~

Shirley's wound looks much more like a shot wound. @ 20:39 on gg's sub of it, you can clearly see that it's not a laceration, and rather its a puncture wound.
