| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- SO EP4 aired and hoo boy, it was a lot better than EP3 oh and forgot: C.C + GUNS =CUTE FAIL |
 |
| I only got the end, but it seemed pretty awesome. But pretty gay at the same time, with all the plot devices. |
| well.. Oh shit.. awesome episode was awesome. - Rollo cold blooded profetional child assasin ...llol ! - Lelouch is a mad person. gotta love the surf with the shield. - Rollo joins the rebellion - Tamaki was full of lulz oh and C.C and Gun was ...leik..Moe..and filled me with other emotions I cannot express. |
 (made by MistaCloudStrife ^^) |
| So true, that shield riding remind me Eureka 7 a lot. lol |
 |
| nice zero! xD |
     |
| Just one comment: yappari Lelouch is a GENIUS!!! I mean, how could he possibly think of all the possible outcomes and order that guy according to that? pure TENSAI. :) |
| It was pretty obvious Rolo would let Lulu go but I didn't expect the Rolo backstory. Good episode. Hah C.C. :D |
     |
| Loved the way Lelouch used to get Rollo to his side :D I also liked seeing a little of Rollo's past,which explains why he was so attched to that locket. Can't wait for the next episode! Waiting 1 week for it is such a pain in the ass =( |
| It was a great episode and I agree it was obvious that Rolo was going to end up being on Lelouch's side, at least for the time being. |
 |
| great episode. loved how Lulu played Rolo like that. And that C.C. moment was killer win. |
 |
| Lulu scary i lub C.C. |
 |
| He's good. |
 |
| Damn, Lelouch is such a sinister character I can't help but get an evil grin myself when he does things like this. I didn't think this episode was as intense as the previous three, but it was still great. And I really don't care for Rolo that much still ... but yeah, Lelouch is awesome. :D |
 |
| the mirroring to season 1 is crazy.I enjoyed the black nights getting saved especially that one guy who kept saying zero would come "can't remember his name". I look forward to what Diethard has planned but not so much of Suzaku, who will get more annoying than ever even more so assuming Lelouch will have to pretend not to have his memories and act nice to him. |

ChandraNalaar said: I smell delicious Lulu/Rolo incest doujinshi in the works. Technically it wouldn't be incest since they're not actually related, but they're probably cropping up as I type. Anyway, it was kinda obvious that Lelouch would be able to play Rolo's emotions which is probably why he offered to take back the locket in the last episode, to see his emotional attachment to the gift that Lelouch got him. It was a pretty ingenious plan to once again use the plates but this time using them to get the Brittanian army into Chinese territory to make them reluctant to attack. I'm going to have to review last season since I'm not remember how Daulton died or what he looked like but the name is very familiar. Anyway I'm going to go make a Code Geass: R2 signature. |

| I loved it, I didnt even remember that it came out Sundays because MAL was down. I'm so glad the quality of the series hasn't degraded between the first and second seasons. Zero is almost back to having his previous power now that most of the orders members have been released and his support is growing again. I love how they end with a cliffhanger every single episode. Cant wait for the rest of the season. |
| That scene with CC and the gun was just toooooooooooo cute. I love the mind manipulation going on. The series is going from strength to strength |
| Can somebody point me in the direction of an episode 4 sub for stream, preferably? I can't find any of them anywhere because they all got deleted :/ |
 |
| Heh, Lelouch is a beast. |
 |
| It was a pretty good ep. I liked that Lulu had enough understanding of Rolo's Geass to concoct a countermeasure, and it seems like he had some premonition of his Geass before entering that room. Still, I wish they'd stop with the repetition in plans and schemes. Wow, though, Lulu screws with EVERYBODY. He makes me feel almost as bad as I did when cheering for Light. Next recruits for the Black Knights: Viletta and the Information Section. Unless Suzaku kills them all. |
 |
| great episode |

| awwww Villetta really has feelings for Ohgi <3. Did you guys see her expression when he was saved? She almost wet her pants with relief even though they're supposed to be enemies. |
^)^ DeathfireD ^)^ Anime Alliance P2P Network *OPEN FOR NEW MEMBERS* |
| Wow, that was a great episode! We get more of Lulu-the-tactical-genius, which is always great, the Black Knights are together again and the actions was really nice too. (And how cool is it that Lulu thought of counting the seconds to find out that Rollo can't stop time after all?) I really liked the bits of Rollo's past, too. Now why do I have the feeling that people won't hate Lulu's manipulation of Rollo (I think they love it, I know I do ^^) but still bash Suzaku? *sighs* (And maybe we'll finally see more of him in the next episode?) |
 |
| Best ep since airing IMO. |
     |
| OMG Zero should have ordered Darlton's son to kill himself afterwards (the sniper guy). I bet you this is gonna come back and bite him on the arse. |

| hahah. he's using RORO now. Poor Roro all he needs is a hug from onii-san. |

DeathfireD said: awwww Villetta really has feelings for Ohgi <3. Did you guys see her expression when he was saved? She almost wet her pants with relief even though they're supposed to be enemies. Yeah, I thought that was pretty interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing this odd romance kick back in again ... somehow, lol. |
|
| hehe well, i think despite the fact that she has feeling for him, shes too proud to admit it...who knows. |
| Well, gotta love C.C. for Cute Epic Fail. Who wouldn't love this episode? |
| ~de Arimasu |
MajorAddiction said: hahah. he's using RORO now. Poor Roro all he needs is a hug from onii-san. Yea.. Rollo is so desperate for a family and Lulu just takes advantage of that weakness to make him switch sides. GO LULU! And a big *sigh* for Suzaku returning to school. |
Astaroth said: agreed, hopefully we get more like this. Unfortunatly it looks like next week is back to the school setting. Well, Ep 3 was SUPPOSEDLY school-ep too, and it turned out quite good. I am waiting for next ep if only for the inner reactions of Suzaku and Lulu and how they hold the masks they have and not try to kill each other with anything at hand lol. |
|
| Awesome episode, can't wait for more :D |

MaullarMaullar said: lol nice montage |
|
| lol, awesome episode, code geass delivered this week. lulu is really a genious, being able to pull off such a master plan and not fail... lol at the eureka 7 moment, it made me laugh... he was able to predict rollo's geass, and he prepared what to say... and a way to check on his geass too... thats just too much... kallen was too cute this episode, she cries and it makes me feel sad too.. she is just too cute... c.c and the gun made me feel kinda weird... collision of events... moe and disappointed xD yay for rollo joining... even though i know he is going to find out that he is being manipulated... cliffie with suzaku... argh... i want more kallen x lulu D= or at least cc x lulu |
     |
| Hahaha! I've also seen Viletta's emotion when the Black Knights were saved. She really looked so relieved. Well, this episode didn't give so much of a cliffhanger, but rather a big detail and information about Rolo and others. I'm more excited in seeing Diethard's plan. He said that they will begin if ever the Black Knights will be saved and Zero will be able to survive in that event. Not interested in Suzaku coming back to school. It will be just a plastic-face scene again in the school. XD For the last, this episode really confuses me alot. More on Li's motivation and plans. Can't understand him at all and what's really happening in the Chinese Federation and Black Knights. I'm so confused. Hahahaha! As far as I know, the Eunich General has been Geassed by Zero and is now dead. So Li is now the one acting in charge and authority. And also, afaik Li is also having the same motivation and Zero (changing the country), still can't figure out what really happened that time. Why did Li suddenly attacked all the Black Knights, and how did he know that the Eunich General has been Geassed? But, of course! The last bite would be the gun and C.C. scene! Hahahaha! That's why I really love C.C. all the way!! :3 |
     |
| I think pretty much everyone laughed at C.C.'s gun jumping in her face, such a cute moment. Lelouch is pretty much completely evil and sinister, which is the best thing about him. The only thing he really cares about is revenge and his sister, everyone else is expendable if he gets what he wants. Other than that, really good episode. Kallen owning that guy while dispatching him with a cool "See ya!" was great! |
| By the way, I think Eclipse just made the translation to Karen and not to Kallen. They've used Kallen in the first episodes, but in this episode they've used Karen. |
|
| shield surfing=win gun collapsing=win Xingke doing Scorpio impersonation=win Lelou using the plates (again)=win Lelou manipulating Rolo=not win Suzaku going back to the academy=DO NOT WANT So we have Viletta who clearly remembers Ohgi. Sum enemy shipping will be going on for the next ep. I SERIOUSLY want that Tamaki (That Zero fanboy) to die D: And, Cornelia actually died? Hope not... |
| The manipulating of Rolo was somewhat predictable but the rest were great. I was wondering how he could save everyone but didn't think the ground would be able to move like that >_>. Oh well. One great thing that Lulu did was be able to use Rolo without Geass. Oh and C.C. moments are always welcomed ^^. |
babykeiji said: By the way, I think Eclipse just made the translation to Karen and not to Kallen. They've used Kallen in the first episodes, but in this episode they've used Karen. Yea.. noticed that too. Not that I mind though.. |
| This was brilliant Just as I had hoped, Rollo joined the rebellion. Even if his membership is on shaky ground, it's better than nothing. On the other hand i'm not looking forward to Suzaku's return but it had to happen sooner or later, I just pray he doesn't get his own geass. Hopefully having Suzaku back means Lloyd and Cecile get to make an R2 appearance. I'm probably the only one that thinks this but Darlton's sons seem like potentially good characters (the ones that didn't die anyway.), i'd have high hopes for them if I wasn't so sure that the Britannian side would mainly focus on developing Suzaku and the other two KotR, leaving them doomed to be cannon fodder. |
 |
| I was torn between 8.5 and 9 out of 10, but I ended up voting 9. It was certainly the least predictable episode so far. The episode opened up rather confusingly, showing Rollo assassinating a random person. It confirmed what I'd guessed about Rollo after seeing him for the first time - Britannia placed the best assassin possible next to Lelouch; an assassin with a geass. The focus then quickly switched to the end of EP1. I had assumed Rollo would've fired and discovering the gun was empty, but Rollo did nothing and listened like a good boy to the main character (you've got to love how Lelouch just knew Rollo would give him the chance to talk). Lelouch persuaded Rollo to wait until the next day, promising he'd give him C.C. if he let him live until the prisoners execution, going on to question Rollo about if his life would get any better as as a result of another successful mission. Something interesting that Lelouch confirmed during his predictable escape from death was the information that Rollo's geass doesn't actually stop time; it has an effect on peoples perception of time. What I don't understand is how Lelouch knew in advance about Rollo having some sort of time controlling power, setting up the room and counting in preparation - Lelouch never saw who was piloting Vincent during EP1... Anyway. After this, Lelouch spent the time he had before the execution trying to work Rollo into his plan to free the prisoners. Using the information in the book he picked up back in EP1, he eventually managed to gain access to some information that gave him some confidence about his plan: To use Rollo's desire to have a family, his only weakness, against him - Who would've guessed it? Back at the Chinese Embassy, it turns out that the scene at the end EP3 was done in order to make out that the Black Knights had killed the ambassador, allowing the Chinese to get rid of the queer without issue. Once the ambassador had been disposed of, everyone waited to see of Zero was going to turn up to save his comrades, the Chinese allowing the Black Knights inside the Embassy grounds to gear up in case Zero turned up. During all this, Rollo made preparations of his own for the upcoming event: He needed to get close in order for Zero to do as he said he would and hand C.C. over to him. The Vincent, which had for some reason been passed onto the local government since EP2, was going to be piloted by some random person called Kimmel...until Rollo injected him with something and took his place. Shockingly, Lelouch didn't turn up to the execution until the very last second, driving up to Guilford on top of a generic knightmare. Even more shockingly, Lelouch didn't actually plan to duel with Guilford, instead picking a surfboard as his weapon of choice for the duel. Then, after some sort of plan Lelouch had put together off-screen, involving what happened with the platforms collapsing during EP23 occurring when Lelouch spoke certain words, he used the surfboard to surf down into the Chinese Embassy grounds, along with the prisoners. Rollo wasn't happy about this turn of events, pursuing Lelouch into the Chinese Embassy grounds. However, Lelouch had already planned for this in advance... planning to block a bullet that was aimed at Rollo, using his own knightmare (knowing his plot no justu skills would allow him to survive) in order to get Rollo's trust and show his brotherly affection. Fooled by this, Rollo blocked a javelin attack made by Guilford on the defenceless Lelouch. Once everything settled down, a flashback was shown, which explained the bullet aimed at Rollo: Lelouch had geassed a Britannia soldier to do it, also telling the soldier to destroy Rollo if things didn't go to plan. After this, Lelouch started acting like Light from Death Note and made his feelings about Rollo perfectly clear; describing him as trash that he plans to throw away at a later date. The episode itself ended with Suzaku (joy...) standing in front of Ashford, then finished with the awful EP5 preview that was 'leaked' a good few days prior to this episode airing - It looks like the worst episode so far. ------------------- I still feel Code Geass is missing something that can't be put into words; something the first series had. It certainly lacks originality and isn't interesting me as much as S1 at this point. Like I said in the rating thread, this was the least predictable, but it still involved Zero coming up with a ZOMG WTF plan to free prisoners (EP4, S1) and re-used what happened with the crumbling platforms at the end of S1. There's still this feeling that I've seen it already when I watch this series. Talking of which, did anyone find it rather amusing that Britannia didn't learn from what happened at the end of S1 and decided to stand on a platform ready for self-destruct AGAIN? It's almost as if the writers lacked the creativity to think of another way to do it... I'm still not feeling anything for Rollo. Many people seem to have taken a liking to him and actually pity him, but he's just a new character I don't care for at this point. The writers needed to work in a new ace pilot for Lelouch, so they put an easily manipulatable assassin next to him - Brilliant. The most intriguing part of the entire episode was when Guilford revealed Cornelia is MIA and not KIA. Since I can't see Cornelia simply abandoning her position for no reason, I'm thinking V.V. had a hand in this... Maybe she'll be the next geass user? |
