Ok i looked around a bit and i actually found this on another forum

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2011/new-york-comic-con/22

When asked how Shu knew what sort of weapon he'd draw from a stranger in the second episode, Oyama responded “Another good question. That'll be explained in episode three.”

So just like i said previously in this forum people are nitpicking WAY to much, i even guessed than it would be said in a few episodes, so people need to calm down really... In any case i hope they give a satisfying reason as to why they knew or all these haters will just multiply by the loads lol, all though about the DNA i gotta agree with that theory also since after watching the OP again it doesn't seem so far fetched, what i'm a bit more curious about though is the two other vials since if i remember they said there were 3, so i wonder if all the vials contain the same power or is it different per person, etc. It has a lot of potential, hopefully it uses it properly and keeps getting better.

I though I would put out key words for this series.


What all this means is that the void in this series is nothing but what the astrological definition states. Why? Because it references to a place beyond man and only where Gods are. Therefore the notion of all Universes supremacy may be noted since that space is indeed where the idealization of emotions come into play to form the weapon.

The intron notion is more information on genetically how it works. It is surprising that it can grasp from this all this power but fiction is fiction.

In regards to that fiction, it encompasses a science for the void and one of the genetics for the power source of the Void genome. Genome coming from the genetics discipline.

Just more stuff to share.

Question, im thinking of picking this up but only if there is gonna be some kind of romance, but it isnt tagged as such so thats why im asking here.

thanks

Inori_Yuzuriha said:
The opening music was nice, but the vocalist terrible.

It seems that GC takes more of a biology/religious direction rather the one of Code Geass. Besides the obvious genetics, I point religious because the opening showed us such scenes; Inori ascending her hands on a cross like she was crucified; And the Sephirot tree.

Gai looks... so much older compared to Shu and the others. It's like he is 5+ years older than them. As for Shu, who knows, he might turn into a stronger guy like Simon in TTGL did.

I believe this series will be one of those who start simple & then they become more deep/complicated.

Probably about the same amount of romance as Code Geass. So how did Shuu pull out a gun?

Thanks for sharing that I was almost confuse about the Void Genome thing or how Shu pull a weapon out of somebody's chest(male or female)the King's power !!

Ok. So I’ve heard a few complaints about how cliché the school scene is. Well I don’t think it’s a bad idea at all! If it’s done well :] And by that I mean do this:

School Situation Suggestion (What better way to solve a cliche than turn it on its head and make it awesome!)

1) MAJOR PREMISE: Keep the school scene for 2-3 episodes. Plot continues that Shu and Inori are part time student/soldiers – yeah doesn’t seem realistic huh?

Upcoming Episode: ~Collateral Crisis~
1) Spend first half episode of normal school activities. Shu MUST by this time contemplate whether it’s really alright to be attending school at all. He’s a target of the government and a potential threat to those around him.

-At Bad Guy HQ-
Sergeant: “Lieutenant! *Salutes + Opens Orange Envelope and presents multiple pictures of Shu + Inori* “Sir, reconnaissance has confirmed the identity of the void user – he’s a 17-year-old kid! He and the female, Inori Yuzuriha, are currently studying at [school]. A recon and shooter team is already in position.”

Daryl: “Good. Inform the rest of the kill squads and prepare the package.

-Screen cuts to black and scene changes to [School]-

-Shu sitting down near window seat with Inori talking to him (standing beside his seat) [Random Talk]-

Shu: “[Stopped mid-sentence] - hey, Inori, do you hear that?” *Subtle chopper blades churning the air in the background getting louder*

-Spotter/Shooter Team set up on far away bridge/building/grassy knoll-

Recon: “Distance, XXX meters, wind – negligible”

Shooter: Calibrating…. (Adjusts sniper rifle’s scope – Really cool looking digital zoom of class – futuretech sniper rifle – you can read the Project Emotion brand on that one kid’s shirt!)

Recon: Targets Confirmed, HQ. Waiting on your go.

Daryl (AT HQ): (No hesitation) Send it.

-Scene shifts to inside classroom-

-Shu looks out window (head propped against left palm) and notices a glint of metal suspiciously off in the distance. Meanwhile, the noise he noticed earlier seems to be right above them

-Random Student: Seriously, what’s with that heli?-

The signs piece themselves together - realization slams into Shu [[–Shooter fires-]] [Cue Dramatic Music as camera zoom in on Shu as he tackles Inori [slow-mo camera shot of them airborn]]

-Window EXPLODES into shards and a friend takes the high caliber round meant for Shu. Massive exit-wound represented by blood splashed table behind her –look of surprise and crumples dead before she hits the ground– Initiate screaming and confusion while Shu and Inori clutch each other on the ground-

Spotter: MISSED! I REPEAT MISSED! Target Remains!

Daryl: (In a quiet but unphased voice) “Plan B”

-Chopper Swoops down to window level- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3q17gkuOcc&feature=related WATCH THIS

-Machine Gunner (Matrix Style, Hell yeah!) Opens fire at defenseless teenagers (Third person camera View of Chain gunner tracing the class left-right) (Camera switches to cliché but VERY AWESOME underview of helicopter as thousands of spent rounds fall to the ground below)

-Inside-

Students and teacher (Unlike Shu and Inori who are taking cover) are torn to shreds as thousands of bullets redecorate the room-

Shu covers Inori’s eyes “Don’t look” over the sound of gyrating helicopter blades, minigun fire, and the slowly decreasing number screams

Shu initiates void process with Inori and withdraws sword – swiftly, he slams it into the ground and he and Inori fall down through the hole to the floor below-

Daryl: Confirm, have the targets been eliminated?

Spotter: Negative – they’ve left the killbox.

Daryl: No choice - send the launch codes.

Sergeant: SIR! The international community will never approve!

Daryl: (Calmly) Sergeant, we just saved the rest of Area 11 by eliminating a virus breeding ground formerly known as [such and such High School].

Sergeant: This is too big for a gas leak! They’ll never believe you!

Daryl: We’ll make them.

-A Classroom Below the Previous-

-The sounds of the helicopter are quickly fading into the distance-

Shu: “Inori we have to get out of here!” Disperses sword, grabs her hand and drags her behind him as the helicopter disappears. Students scream in the hallways. Shu and Inori struggle through the halls and eventually make it to the outside where, upon looking across the water, they see a submarine surface/emerge.

Inori: “NO, they wouldn’t! They can’t!”

-Submarine launches ballistic sea-to-surface missile-

Shu: “Damn them!" Grabs Inori close and stares right into her eyes- “Trust me”

-They JUMP off balcony into the ocean [Check out building’s Architecture] as the missile detonates mid-air, splitting into many separate warheads before totally annihilating what was once a gorgeous glass high school.

-End Episode-

In continuation: [Newscast] This morning, the nation mourns as what can only be described as an unprecedented attack on our soil – Bombs filled with the Lost Christmas virus were detonated at the [School] earlier this morning, infecting and killing most of the inhabitants – Coalition troops were forced to destroy the building in order to prevent the spread of the disease. [Reveals Pictures of Gai, Inori, Shu] The terrorist organization claiming responsibility is no other than The Funeral Parlor which is responsible for several other atrocities across the nation. If you have any information, please alert the authorities immediately. Now let us have a moment of silence for those we’ve lost to this tragedy….

Why do such a testosterone-filled episode?

MOST IMPORTANTLY: This episode resolves the fact that Shu made the mistake (STUPID) of trying to return to his old life. Realistically, he put innocent civilians in danger and this episode drives it home. Seriously, if the writers expect Shu to go mission to mission without someone finding his identity in this day and age I’ll die of exasperation. He can never go back to his old life/it’s OVER – he can only move forward with the Revolution or die for nothing.
1) It’s Badass!
2) Reinforce the fact that Daryl’s a calculative, competent, cold-hearted bastard
3) Inori + Shu relationship +1 (Yeah I’m a romance geek, get over it)
4) Character Development - Shu’s taking a level in badass, must take responsibility for classmates’ deaths
5) Sets Grim Theme
6) They are government fugitives - Government propaganda against terrorism + Plot development (HEY! We’re the GOOD Gais!) Not punny – shut up.
Liked it? Might be interested in reading this Guilty Crown Suggestion then:

I am willing to bet that Gai is going to get killed and Shu will take over the leadership of "funeral parlor" (that was the name right?).

mystik said:
lol seriously what was up with that chick in that matrix like thing shaking her butt? then Shuu stares are Inori's behind. the action and animation is nice but this is no Code Geass so far. it seems rather toned down and I still don't know what's going on. wait he pulled that weapon out of the douchey mech pilot? I thought he could only do it to Inori?

I'm confused. Surprised he turned down the offer and then it's TRANSFER STUDENT TIME!

Vanisher said:
How the hell did they know what kind of weapon shu would get from that guy???

It will be very stupid if we never get an explanation.

myusername said:
Jesus Christ, all of these comparisons are overwhelming. I'd say Guilty Crown is too "over-compared" with other animes. I mean, is there even such a term?

Also, there are already too many haters lurching around the forums, needlessly bashing the story based off the first and second episodes. It irks me to say the least.
"Oooh, Shu's such a pussy" "I hate weak characters like Shu" "The females are too submissive, it's soooo disgusting" "This is Code Geass all over again, omg". Come on, give me a break.
