Well it all worked out. Xing-ke and Zero are buddies now, the Chinese Federation and United States of Japan allies. The solution felt a little pulled out of thin air. Simply because they took the time to show us how hopeless the situation was. Lelouch is agonizing over his next move. He even tells C.C. to run if things go bad. Which was a really sweet scene, one of many lately showing what a big softie Lelouch has become. But then he had the double trump card of provoking a rebellion against the Eunuchs, and having like the biggest best mech in the whole world hidden away to pull out at the last moment. And plus that's not a particularly inspiring strategic solution. Just reveal you have a bigger badder robot that can completely nullify their attacks.

I'm sure the Britannians are mad about this one, but they also have Kallen. Exactly where I didn't want this to go. Now we have to drag out the prisoner Kallen sub plot. But they lost here, I liked the parallel between Schneizel's decision to withdraw and his chess stalemate with Lelouch earlier. That was a really cool turn, "I wonder what the Emperor would have done." And one of the Knights of Rounds got seriously damaged too. It's too bad they didn't capture her, could have just made a trade.

The end of this episode was where it really shined for me. Sure Xing-ke and the Empress kind of have a loliscum relationship. But it's handled very tastefully and is kind of sweet. I liked the big decision that Zero had to make too. He only paused at breaking up the marriage because C.C. disagreed. And then Shirley helped him decide. Like actually helped him not obligatorily or in a half assed way. Good stuff, you made the right call Zero. Pleased the Black Knights too. Now we just have to wait and see how the rebellion pans out. Seems like Lelouch is headed back to Ashford for now.

finally, Lelou acquired China. now, he's plan to aquired the source of geass power!?

I can't wait to see orange kun to join the dark side.

I smell something fishy between Anya and Lelou, I think they had a connection in the past

So it was Sayoko, huh, I thought she was in China... whatever.

Lol at kiss scene.

THE POWER OF LOVE

By the way, what the hell is with the preview. A shower scene, really? I know CG is full of Fanservice, but Lelo thinking about reasons why the Knights are at the Academy do not converge well with images of a luxiorious spa. imo

Hopefully Kallen will be saved soon. The whole thing with the Chinese guy and the Empress was weird but Lelouch's reaction was funny.

I expect every episode to learn more from C.C. but her lying in that couch was enough.

Sayako was Lelouch all along! Brilliant! She should probably learn to play the part of Lelouch better. He isn't a very nice person. I still have trouble grasping how high up in the totem pole Nina is now. The Chief Eunuchs really are assholes, huh? The Tianzi isn't very smart, going out in broad warfare like that. That new KnightMare looks super fucking awesome. That attack was really cool. That strategy is pretty brilliant, as in we got to see more of Lelouch's 4D chess. The people couldn't have broken into revolt at a better time. Lelouch was even able to predict how Schneizel would act, understanding that Schneizel would recognize the Chief Eunuchs as useless once the people began rioting. Wonder what was up with C.C. and Anya. Good riddance, Chief Eunuchs. You guys really annoyed me. The whole love argument was amusing. I wonder if Tamaki realizes he's the most useless of the original gang. Xingke is a cool character. I hope we get to see more of him. What was that cool thing Lelouch flicked? What is this cult? Has this been mentioned before? Apparently, V.V. is the leader of it. What did Sayako do to Shirley? Gotta admit I didn't see the Knights of Rounds showing up coming.

Indeed, agreed.

And now rewatching this episode you can add one more title to it; Art imitates real life.
Zero's video broadcast of the princess's attempted assassination spawning riots and rebellions across the Chinese Federation is much like the video of George Floyd's death spawning riots across the US IRL right now! If you thought that wasn't realistic guess again, we're seeing the power of single video in reality right now.

This episode also reminds me of why I thought Kallen & Lelouch should've been together. He was willing to risk everything by trying to get her back and vows to do so no matter what.

The riot...the riot. Too real. Code Geass is still relevant to this day.

Sayoko, why did you do that?! What the hell???!

So the Knight of Rounds infiltrated the school now huh? I guess it's easy to enroll to school if you're of high status.

Lelouch has done it again! Kallen is still kidnapped though, so I assume a new plotline will be to rescue her. The knights are here, I wonder if it's about that picture of young Lelouch. I wonder what Sayoko did with Shirley, a kiss most likely...

I enjoyed this episode very much. The power of love does keep Lelouch going strong indeed.

I actually think Xingke and the Tianzi (do we know her name??) would make a really cute couple despite the age difference.

I know I'm beating a dead horse at this point, but I'll say it anyway:

Why does every royal chinese character sound like they're squeaking annoying hamsters!?!? I honestly feel physical pain around my ears when they speak. Well... Thank god they died.

I found out that if I just turn my brain off while watching CG, I'm able to enjoy it a lot more. I just need to think "pow pow robot fight heh", "oooh me horny", and not think too deep into what happened or else I won't be able to stop listing all of the inconsistencies. But at least I can have some fun this way.

That battle was my favourite so far so much going on at once! The new nightmare is pretty op. Nice to see the eunuchs slaughtered. Shirley in the dressing room bless her lulu will never get it. The order sounds interesting and I really thought C2 and Lulu would have a better relationship after the kiss.

Lelouch and predicting his Big Bro's actions:


When Big Bro said "what would the Emperor do" ,, and Lelouch saying he 'read' his Bro's moves ..

a flashback to their chess match; Lelouch had the chance to take Big Bro's king , but he didn't. Big Bro then said he knew what type of leader Lelouch was

but in reality , Big Bro IS that type of leader . He had the chance to eliminate Zero's ground forecs from above but chose to move out instead of eliminating a necessary target

it was at that moment he said "what would Emperor do ..." he knew deep down if it was the King in his shoes , he would have dropped the hammer on Zero's clan no questions asked


so if anything , Big Bro revealed he's the true reserved leader , and Lelouch just found him out

Upon rewatching Code Geass 3 times including the recap movies, all the plot holes, dumb writing, plot conveniences & contrivances became more apparent.

The Highly praised ending Zero Requiem also makes no sense and feels contrived and forced to gain sympathy for Lelouch

10mins of pathos sequence and the grandiose opera soundtrack sadly can't fix all the plot holes, dumb writing and contrivances.
He could've kept the throne and made change happen differently. Even the upcoming sequels can't fix any of these.
These are irrefutable facts and the people who watched the show for the first time are blinded by the ending.

i swear he looked like bondrewd for a second.

once shirley who is clearly in love with lelouch asks him about who he loves, lelouch only thinks of nunnally. what a siscon



Still sleeping like classroom pose


get wrecked shirley, this is how it must feel to have a taste of ur own medicine, to have someone kiss you forcibly lol


Sayoko lmao.

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.

Ahhh, it's Sayoko who play role as Lelouch. This time, the power of love is strong. Lelouch as always comes up with a nice move. Yea, Lelouch got another friends its Six Knight in his school. Must be another troublesome. This show potentially full of politics but never forget about the school part.

C.C., Shirley, Kallen: literally would do anything for Lelouch.

Meanwhile Lelouch: damn I love my sister!!

Bro got priorities straight. Sigma grind mindset... No time to waste on girls, only world domination (and family) is what actually matters!
