Very emotional episode. I feel sad for Kallen's mother, all she does is try to be there for her daughter, but Kallen didn't realize that until the end of the episode. I actually almost cried at the end. 5/5.

This was great development for Kallen to be sure, but on the other hand, I find her kind of dumb after this episode. She JUST now realized her mother was staying there, putting up with the abuse from the step-mom and even her own daughter for Kallen's sake?

C'mon now.

Oh gosh, I think this is the second time I cry while watching this show.... (though last time I just shed a couple of tears) I clearly wasn't prepared for this. Nobody told me that this anime was going to be sad :c

The biker chase scene was hilarious. The OST was perfect!

Those zebra guys got fucked up by Shizou.

After that - a nice pot party with almost everyone in the anime.

That Aoba guy is planing something. Probably there's gonna be something like Izaya vs Aoba

I fucking love this anime.

It annoyed me that Kallen assumed her mother stuck around for any other reason than to be with her. Her realization to reality was like "come on Kallen" *facepalm* oh well though. at least she, herself, even realized that she was an idiot for that screw up. I LOVED SUZAKU'S CAT COSTUME!

This episode is dedicated to Kallen,huh?
Why is it that the Kallen boob size differs when she wears school uniform and terrorist uniform?
It seems her oppai is bigger on terro.

I was surprised that that maid was her mother, hmm.

"We have to stamp out the Chinese Federation's Kyushu drug route here, understand?" The shameful historical parallels of Britannia's efforts to subdue and dishearten the once proud elevens is probably also lost to the native viewers, dare I say.

Oh dear, the delicious irony.

Really cool little episode. Gave us some backstory and motivation for Kallen. Who was defined enough but certainly not well explained. I caught some serious feels off the ending when she finally realized why her mother had endured abuse so much over the years. Also her outsmarting that police mech was super bad ass. Good episode for Kallen. I also was pretty interested by her and Lelouch is heated exchange. Mainly if Lelouch really believes the callous statement he made. Or maybe was trying to draw attention away from himself being Zero. Either way he had a really bad episode. Besides that little fight, he and Suzaku also engaged in spirited debate about the validity of vigilantism. And while I still agree with Lelouch over him, Suzaku got the upper hand in that argument.

"I don't see how that's any of your business!" Kallen's a bitch >_> Lelouch sleeping through class...that phone fakeout in the third episode...I'm sure she's really confused now.

Doesn't matter if the Black Knights cure cancer; Lelouch/Zero killed Clovis, so Britannia's never going to give them the respect they deserve.

Wow...the maid's Kallen's mother? Explains why her and the stepmother treat her like shit.

Yikes...they're getting suspicious of the whole memory lapse thing being tied to a high school student. What exactly can they do about it, though? Prove he has a magic power?

Kallen being a bitch to her mother came back to bite her in the ass in the end, when she realizes how much her mother cares about her right when it appears to be too late...

Poor Karen, with her drug-addicted maid of a mother.
Opium: coolness factor +1 (11)
3.5+/5 Karen and Lelouch 's lttle speech was funny but not as serious as it thought it was


@Rosny I thought it was a wink to opium, but what was it then if it was something a japanese audience wouldn't get?

Not Japanese I was talking about Britannia and Brits.

The irony was the Chinese Federation being on the other end of the spectrum in Geass universe.

Is there a drug similar to Refrain in the real world? It sounds like a complicated and really dangerous drug. I feel pretty bad for her mother. Although, I'm curious why the hotdog guy and her mother were in that warehouse. I understand they were likely going to replenish their Refrain supply, but do they all just hit it on the spot? It didn't look like anyone was carrying a bag of the drug. Maybe I'm just nitpicking. Also, on a slight aside I thought it was pretty funny seeing Lelouch taking a power nap. Reminds me of this quote from the Batman Wikia page:
Micro Sleep: Batman has mastered the art of power-naps and evolved it into what he calls microsleep. Although these periods of sleep are longer in duration (1 hour), they would be more replenishing and much harder to wake up from. Batman has also been shown to be capable of going over 4 days with no sleep at all.

Looks like we got to learn a bit more about Kallen's past, I feel bad for her mom. Episode did feel a bit like filler but was enjoyable nonetheless. New visuals for the OP, I always welcome shows that adjust them as the story changes.

seriously? Did Kallen just not even consider the fact that her mother loves her and just wants to be with her? Why was that such a big revelation? Surely their relationship and backstory will get touched on further right?

Other than that, I'm starting to really like Kallen as a character

Well nice side story on Kallen.

Lelouch and Suzaku's fight is annoying lol.

Lelouch is too hung up over Suzaku to even notice Shirley wants to go with him on a date.

"He prefers the base more than me? Baka"

And suzaku is as gullible as ever. Working from within the system is way to naive at this stage, especially seeing that some Britannian police take part in the Refrain Plot.


There was so much deep seated issues with Kallen I was honestly afraid this would turn into something like a Hideaki Anno tragedy.
Looks like the hotdog guy was also using refrain.

Nina's flashback of Euphemia looks random.

And Viletta seems to be catching up with Lelouch's geass. Seems interesting.



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.

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same while watching the episode. Kallen must be one of the densest people ever for not realizing that sooner. And what was that at the end? Why did her mom get a 20 year sentence? For working at that factory?
