| lol at the whole class drawing Lelouch. lol at Rivalz. Ogi getting them bento's from Villetta. Kero Kero Kero Don't worry, Lelouch. Nunnally only likes Suzaku as a friend. She is yours forever. Rakshata appears. No, Kallen. The synchronization rate won't increase with that outfit. I just wanted to see your fine self in a sexy outfit. Oh, shit! Rakshata actually said it wouldn't increase. lol Suzaku was trained by Todo back then. lol at Lloyd. Oh shit! Dat insert song. Mikio! Lelouch and Todo finally learn who the pilot is. Lelouch is shook. lol at Lloyd's password. Euphie takes Lelouch's knight for Nunnally away from him. Dat ED! Dat laugh. So amazing. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| what the, I thought they are all already know that it's Suzaku. good thing Todo joined the party. |
| that evil laugh near the end though i r8 10/10. |
| Wait, did Lelouch really not know? |
| Around the gif~ "It's a big mistake to think you're the only one who can turn into a car" - Shiori Takatsuki |
| So, they chose the amnesia way just to create a Shirley sub-intrigue? -_- Being already into the second quarter of the show, I doubt its abilities to provide a conclusion. But after all, the excitement is the main goal, right? Interesting to see that Lelouch plans to disappear or die, but his aborted attempt to marry his sister to their friend was... awkward. 3.5+/5 Crazy laughing hero scene and sexy scientist/engineer in coat: Coolnessl factor +2 (17) @CodeBlazeFate For your info, this is the episode where he learns about Suzaku's job. Though, seems like many people more into the series tan me didn't even realize until now. ^^" |
| Nuuuuu, I wanted Kururugi to protect Nunally, NOT Euphy Dx ugh. Fuckin bitch. |
| lelounch is becoming more and more insane by every episode |
 |
Rest in peace Lelouch's sanity.  I love Euphie slowly beginning to rebel against the racism the Japanese have to undergo. It's pretty disgusting having to witness all the Japanese have to put up with. Lelouch finally knows Suzaku pilots the Lancelot. It will be interesting to see what Lelouch does from here. What was that paper Shirley found? Will she regain her memories? Is that even possible? Next episode is called "An Order for Suzaku." Will Lelouch use Geass on Suzaku? What kind of thing would he command? Or is it an order as in military terms? |
| That was a really good episode, except maybe for Zero's laugh at the end skljdfksjd |
| Suzaku ribbiting was kinda funny. |
 |
| Now this episode was Awesome |
 |
| Oh wow, I thought Lelouch already knew Suzaku was the white knight...I wonder how he'll proceed. I'm thinking he's gonna use Geass on him. |
| wow this was tense! and what a dramatic reveal. nice and lelouch finally got his madman laughter moment. also nice. |
| It's finally been revealed to lelouch. He doesn't seem to be taking it well with all the mad laughter. |
 |
| I really liked this show in the beginning. It started to fall off a bit at about the halfway point though. Really hard to tell what direction the show will take from here, but I look forward to finding out. |
 This is not your grave...But you are welcome in it :3  |
Lelouch's expressions are truly something. Kallen can hear you you know.  Poor Lelouch. Just when he wanted to confess to suzaku that he wanted him to protect Nunnally, Cecile just has to crash that moment. He can never catch a break, can he. Poor Suzaku keeps getting bullied. But looks like that is gonna change with Euphy just declaring Suzaku as her knight out of nowhere. Damn, it is like the universe is conspiring to keep Suzaku out of Lelouch's reach even more and more. Lelouch really gives a great speech to Tohdoh about how his job ain't fucking over yet. Very nice speech really. The 4 holy swords seriously give a great damn fight. And to think they almost had Suzaku. Lelouch is really something to be prepared to analyse Suzaku's moves. Also Lelouch is familiar with Rakshata for her medical qualifications. Wonder why. Maybe it was because of Nunnally I guess. Shirley is starting to catch on to her past memories maybe. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| I honestly thought LuLu knew who was controlling the white mech all this time but I guess not. Seems like he is going more and more insane. I do hope he won't end up like a certain other vigilante. |
| OωO |
| Finally Lelouch knows! But oh god can Kururugi fuck off PLSSSSSSSS |
 |
| Finally they met each other on the battlefield. Took 17 episodes but we're there. Lellouch finally knows the person who's controlling the White Robot. Seems like he's going crazy in the end. Great episode! |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| another outstanding episode. the man lelounch selected guard to his younger sister.he is working with enemy.and becoming euphemia knight.really lelouch shocked and smiling like crazy. suzaku going to change the country by pretending to be a honorary brittanian obeying every orders killing his own people.what this man never sees his country with his opened eyes?this episode have very good combat with mecha though. |
 |
| Lelouch went through all the 4 stages of grief denial anger depression and then acceptance |
 |
| Damn, Lelouch finally found out that Suzaku is the pilot of Lancelot |
 |
| I think my only gripe with this series is that they sometimes pull things out of their asses. Since we haven't got a detailed explanation on how the different types of mechs work and whatnot, they're basically free to pull whatever they want to move the plot, like the white mech suddenly shooting 4 whatchamacallit simultaneously while he's overwhelmed, and so it goes. This episode was 1000x better than the last, at least. Episode 16 as a whole was just dumb. |

Storm1988 said: How the heck did Lelouch NOT know it was Suzaku inside the robot all this time?! That was supposed to be a big reveal? It was never revealed for Lelouch's character. We as an audience knew the entire time, but Lelouch never found out, until now. What Lelouch knew: Suzaku is working for the military; Suzaku was to be executed, so he saved him; He caught a short glimpse of Suzaku's memories when C.C. touched his mech and Lelouch at the same time, but he didn't know what it was. I do agree it was a pretty weak reveal, since we've know this for a long time now. Even if the characters didn't know and you get to see their reactions, it still doesn't have much of an impact on the viewer. And of course this is based on my experience alone. |
|
| I think the reveal was pretty weak especially when you realized Lelouch knows Suzaku was working for the military all this time. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Lelouch's character really became a display of many different emotions during this episode, really makes it all the more interesting |
| i don't understand why Lelouch was surprised that Suzaku was in the Lancelot |
| I LOVED how it wasn't just Lelouch being surprised, and how the knight thing would take away from Nunally. I think it was great how he started laughing and all with realization, it's just awesome to see everyone realize (including Kallen!!) |

I totally agree, very well written. About Kallen possibly hearing him laugh - I hope she might reflect on it or maybe piece things together another time, but... I doubt she's interested in who Zero is behind the mask. She's loyal that way I feel |

| Lelouch honey... your Light Yagami is showing... |
| This episode is one of the show's many retorts to brainless Suzaku haters, in that it shows his subtle impact on changing society's views on Elevens. His intimate relationship with the princess, and her willingness to accept him opens the slow but steady path to change in Brittania's perception and prejudice of their subjects. That is why the show is so compelling. Watching Lelouch's fast but violent methods clash against Suzaku's painstakingly slow integration. I think ultimately the show's themes depict Lelouch's as more harmful in the long run, and implies that his terrorism would have been more effective during or in the immediate aftermath of Brittania's invasion, rather than when this story is actually set. So much time has now passed, that Suzaku's method of opening a pathway into the upper echelons of power for other Elevens to follow is the more sensible way to create a semblance of equality. It's the fact that his method will take so long that most critics don't seem to understand, causing them to dismiss him as a childish naive pacifist. Was every pacifist leader of change in our own history childish? Was Martin Luther King childish? His efforts and sacrifice had a profound impact on the US's treatment of black people, and he didn't have to murder thousands of people to cause change. That is what Suzaku ultimately hopes for. Meanwhile Lelouch's motivations, though cathartic to witness, are fuelled by revenge and rage, and the bodycount around him piles up, creating a ripple effect of more violence. There is definitely a time for violence, I'm not at all implying it's not effective. Many a people have had to defend themselves from oppression with violence, as they should have. But that's the genius of this show's premise, the ability to tear a viewer in half as they witness two characters go about righting wrongs in their own way. But it's clear the most compelling arc is of Lelouch slowly being corrupted by his supernatural power. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Seeing Suzaku as on Britannia side make Lulu shock? hope he have another plan. Gladly the timing he want they back is right when the ambush on the way. They are 3 in the same school but fighting each other, interesting plot. Seems Lulu will going wild after this. |

I love how despite all of Lelouch's planning, use of Geass and strategy, he is always one step away from losing everything. Keeps the show very interesting. Can't blame him for not finishing off Suzaku when he had the chance, that's his childhood friend
I can't hate Suzaku, he is a tragic and broken character through and through. Mega talented and in need of mega therapy. At least he's won Euphie's support, I'm looking forward to their interactions together. Maybe she can fix him a little bit, but realistically probably not. I like that Euphie seems to be a potential bridge between the Japanese and Britannians, hope she stays alive long enough to grow as a character
It's rare that I'm invested into a show's characters at 17 episodes in, I'm usually bored by now

| @Pullups4Days It would be a bit boring if Lelouch always won! And I agree about Euphie, she's a great character! |
