Episode 5 was a really fun episode as the build up of the last few episodes pay off with some stellar action. Sunrise has never failed to make exciting mecha battles and this was no exception. Seeing the transformed/fully powered Knightmare at the end was rather epic, and I was glad to see the villain taken out (don't remember what his name was though). Unfortunately the neo-Brittanians used there losing position to go full kamikaze, but the efforts of Rozé and the others meant everyone was saved. Really great battle in all.

If destroying the top tip was what made it, should had been 5 demolition squads. The thing could still fly with 3/4 floats destroyed.

This episode was filled to the brim with action. Giving Divock a laser cannon was cooler than that mad bomber deserved! But he was nothing to be worried about when Ash is two for two on deactivating those fleijas. Heck he probably would of gotten the third one if he had another fleija eliminator.

Being the sole casuality of the nuke you planned to personally hand-deliver to a city has to be one of the most humiliating ways to go.

From an iconic set piece for the OG final battle to a meteor. RIP Damocles

Nice Knightmare Frame action this episode. The alliance focus their shots on Damocles during the small window where it has its Blaze Luminous down for the attack. With tech to cancel it, too, they infiltrate the fortress.
Rozé has used Geass toon those controlling the fortress, but Norland's forces got there before Rozé could finish. With that, Ash can use the F.L.E.I.J.A eliminator but they have one left. Immobilising the fortress can just be as helpful as disarming it.
RIP Sanshiro Tomi
In a rush to stop the Neo-Britannian lord, driven to complete his mission or else Norland would executes him, Nina produces one more F.L.E.I.J.A. eliminator for Ash to save Sapporo with.
I could watch Zi-Apollo and Zi-Artemis docking into Zi-Ortygia again, it's very reminiscent of 00 Raiser. The Zi-Artiemis having a more feminine design than Zi-Apollo reflects Rozé's true identity as Sakuya.
They had another F.L.E.I.J.A! With Damocles placed directly above Sapporo, Neo-Britannia maximises damage by downing it there. What will the Seven Shining stars and Nameless mercenaries do? Accept their fate? Push it back Char's Counterattack style?

Tomi has not had enough presence for his death to mean anything.
The action in this was good but the mech designs in general are weaker than the main series so overall it didn't impress me much.
The strategic element also felt pretty hollow. Sakuya does not use her Geass anywhere near as well as Lelouch. But the antagonists aren't at the level of Schneizel or even Cornelia so it doesn't really matter.
I feel like Damocles falling should have been a pretty obvious possibility. Did they even need FLEIJA to do that? Kind of weird that it came as a surprise.

Now we got to see a real Damocles hanging over their heads, and the clock is ticking.

Damocles and Fleja is used strategically? So that Shneizel looking dude will use something even more devastating..

Probably Rozé will find a way to shoot Damocles but there should still be huge damage

I'm a simple man. Give me hand drawn animation mixed with serviceable CGI and I become very happy. This was easily the best episode yet even if it was predictable. A little bit of FF7, some callbacks to Lelouch style chess battles and ACTUAL NON CGI CARS.

It also had the negative stuff, like poorly drawn animation, atrocious cuts in the middle of scenes, and a group of people I STILL don't care about, but this episode is the closest this anime has been so far to capturing what makes Code Geass great. The fanservice episode would be second in my book.

This episode is insane. Who knew that Damocles would fall like that right in the end.

With that footage at the beginning from the original series, is that how the original broadcast looked or did they just edit it to make it look that way? I've only seen the BD version with the 5.1 audio. Either way, I absolutely love it!

Well this definitely felt like a typical Code Geass episode, but at the same time it's just nothing new.

Fast paced action episode which was tense and had me on edge, quite liked it. Narah and Ash has some history as hinted. Narah's super strong and charming so I hope she'll survive. They fought them off but the damocles is now falling on them, situation got bad real fast. Btw ortygia merge was cool, it looks quite cool as well.
