The price of stupidity. Euphy paid quite the sum for her selfishness in the end.

So apparently this is one of the most contentious anime episodes of all-time?

Anyway, I just have a quick question about the dub and the sub. I just finished both series in the dub. I've seen this said on TVropes:

Then we have the infamous "Euphinator" incident near the end of the first season, where Lelouch says the wrong sentence to the wrong person at the wrong time. The English dub makes it so that he still makes the mistake, but changes the actual sentence into something that a person might actually say in that situation.


Ok, so what was said in Japanese?

Jeeeeeeeezzzz... Lelouch of ALL the thing you cold have said for an example you had to say "oh hey if I wanted to I could order you to kill all the Japanese"
WHY couldn't you just say "oh hey if I wanted to I could order to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich" why on earth was that the first "smart" thing to say!!

Ugh. idk how I feel towards this episode it was definitely not something I would have expected I know I had to pause as soon as he ordered Euphemia to do that. man I have no honest clue how season 1 will end but not everyone is going to come out alive.
Argue? Nah Too lazy For That...

was there a foreshadowing of this scene in which Lelouch can't control his Geass.

a friend of mine said he SAW the episode before 22 in which Lelouch's Geass is malfunctioning but i don't remember. is it true? was there really a foreshadowing for this episode?

Disgusting... That was completely disgusting for these writers to create such filth... what a shame, I was really starting to like this show... this really pisses me off.

I'm dropping this piece of shit. This show has officially become a tragedy and I'm not interested in that.

How the hell can 300 people say they love this episode?? That truly hurts my faith in humanity... smh.

Dam' at first I was like now what? The anime ends with a happy ending zero agrees with Euphy and all end well. Then I was pleased a bit to see that it wont be that easy and then I realized... dam', I actually liked Euphy and she had to do this because of a mistake Lelouch made. What a shame what sadness for Lelouch, his friend, the japanese people and mostly the black knights that if they'll find this out. Oh wow..
Hurts my heart.

Edit: there was also the fact that Lelouch gave up going against her and would have used that zone for his purposes to make a new nation.

Just because YOU are not interested in it doesn't mean those other 300 people have to agree with you.

Probably one of the craziest plot twists I've ever seen in a show. I love it! People are going to say it's convenient but that's how almost all shows are. To make them interesting and fun, things have to be conveniently placed or else it's predictable and boring.

I still side with Lulu, even though this is his fault in a way, it was not his intention. And I feel like there was some outside interference that happened first. Either someone did something like his Dad (who is mysteriously creepy) or I could even blame Suzaku for making contact with CC. I guess i'll find out later.

But WOW was I shocked. The most pure character in the anime that many people hated because she was so cookie-cutter turns into a psycho. And all the other soldiers joined in on the massacre. In a way, this should be an eye opener to naive Suzaku. All these soldiers if given the command to commit genocide would do it. That's who he's serving as a blind knight.

It's annoying how everything got ruined with such a poorly crafted plot twist... I feel sad for Euphy. She was one of the kindest of the Britannian royal family yet now she'll probably be remembered as the cruelest by the world. She didn't deserve what happened to her.

My reaction was basically the same as everyone's else: WTF JUST HAPPENED???!!

And I agree with what some of you said on how convenient it was that the Geass acted up at such a critical point. But I thought about it, and maybe it was supposed to. Think about it, Lelouch finally agrees to someone else's plans instead of his own? It could be a sort of catch-22: when the user experiences a certain emotion or participates in a certain event. Speculation though, since I'm watching the dub and trying to be a good girl and not watch ahead.

As far as characters that I think might survive, I really don't think Euphie will (poor dear). And Suzaku can't die because of the Geass used on him (remember, he MUST LIVE!!! *dramatic music*). Lelouch might not be able to die either. I'm not sure how long ago Mao got his Geass, but he'd have to be significantly older than Lelouch. He seems too young to me. And Kallen, I totally see her living (oddly enough). However, Ohgi just might die because of who he's in bed with (if anyone caught that this episode).

Another thing I wanted to ask for anyone who's watching the dub. Did anyone else find it odd that this episode only got a TV-14 rating (with a V for the obvious violence)? Other episodes, as well as other anime, have received TV-MA ratings for far less (i.e. some eps of Evangelion and Eureka seveN). Just curious if anyone else noticed that.
This. Lelouch made a contract which was destroy Britannia. The path he was going on would not accomplish that thus his Geass went haywire. This isn't a convenient plan, this was setup majestically and you all just didn't see it

What a plot twist! Lelouch came to terms with Euphie, but his Geass went crazy and now she's killing all the Japanese! I know it's not Lelouch's fault, but it's the price he has to pay for such a power. This episode was pretty depressing overall. And now Lelouch has given order for the Black Knights to find Euphie and kill her before it's too late. So sad! I like her a lot and now she's gone crazy because of a stupid accident. Onto the next episode!

Goddammit. What a convenient time for his Geass to fuck up. This is some Game of Thrones shit right here. There were times when I was going to stop reading those books when this kind of stuff happened, but I always came back. It'll be the same situation for Code Geass

Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast.

Lelouch was more of LeDouche in this episode, why did he talk about his geass with Euphelia in the first place? There was a bit too much death in this one.

Wtf just happened?! this episode was depressing but good in few ways.
The plot twist was weak and yeah it let the series down. Like seriously how convenient is it for the geass got permanent at that very moment.. really lol.
I feel sorry for both Lelouch and Euphy, it wasn't any of their fault.
Well, so far I enjoyed this episode the most, it was good.

This was one of the most shocking scenes I've known in most of my anime viewing experience.

Seeing it again, still powerful.
Be it a plot device, or a plot twist, I've yet to see such a 180 turnaround. I would hardly call this poorly written however. It highlighted so many developments. Sometimes, the most shocking change in plot could just be an asspull, but so many repercussions and consequences was elaborated and expanded upon. This wasn't just a whim of poor writing. It was long thought out. Highlighting Lelouch's continuing descent to bloodshed and madness, Suzaku's future hatred, the future of the Black Knights, of Zero, the unpredictability of war, and the slow discovery to what Charles is actually up to.

I despised this twist just as well, but I can't say it was poor writing.

This was probably the dumbest thing i've ever seen in any anime ever. Seriously? He just so happens to decide to tell euphy about his geass (first time he's told anyone), and he just so happens to use "kill all the Japanese" as an example and this is the exact moment his geass acts up for the first time? Ludicrous, absolutely absurd. What a fucking hail mary to advance the plot. There would literally be no logical reason for him to even suggest he'd order her to kill all the japanese. Fucking idiotic.

Having the geass act up is a cool idea, but this was the absolute worst way they could've gone about executing it in my opinion. Come on, be creative
