This is absolutely not a reference to the beginnings of the first and second season.
I quite liked this episode despite there being a plethora (ZOMG BIG WORDS) of problems with it (though I noticed nothing until they were pointed out to me/ ranted about).
And you do NOT mess with the dead mother who took 40+ episodes to get a speaking apperance.
Didn’t see that coming. What type of Geass would allow Marianne to MINDRAPE take control of Anya? Or is it some sort of weird soul-switching thing? Or do the writers not care anymore and will leave that type of glaring minor plot-hole unresolved, like this one:
Time heals all life-threatening, incurable diseases.
The worst nickname ever.
How did C.C get her memory back just from coming into contact with Marianne? It happened with too much subtlety; there was none of the dramatic overstatement you’d associate with someone regaining their memory in this show. With Shirley there were SUPER FAST PICTURES and a dramatic THUNDERCLAP, yet here its “Who are you, again? Oh I remember” then its off to that island what’s name eludes me at the moment with Cheese-kun to have yuri sex confront Charles and Lelouch. I also wish for Anya X C.C doujins.
LOLNO.
WTF can you do, Ougi? The Order’s just going to fall apart without Zero, and I think that eveyone knows it, including Ougi (supported by the fact he stu-stutters while giving orders). He just wants to protect Chigusa Viletta Hot Swimming Teacher, and he’s probably going to fail at that as well. Where the hell’s Todoh, he’d be much more use than this loser. Or maybe he’s busy fulfilling all those death flags we got a few weeks ago.
Killing fixes EVERYTHING.
Goodbye Moralfag, hello just plain Fag. It’s nice to see how Suzaku’s grown over the past two series. First he was tolerated, then hated, then REALLY hated, and now he’s just a cold-blooded asshole. For those about to slaughter, I salute you.
No matter what happens in the future, sword fights will always remain cool.
The Knight Of One (still full of badassedness) also has a Geass. Do they just give these things out like candy these days? And despite the cool swordfight, bullets/lazors work better with killing people, you retards. But then again, Spin/Wallzaku would probably just dodge them all. (Waldstein reminds me of Zaraki Kenpachi; when he undoes his eye piercings, his power shall grow to OVER 9000.)
Charles’ expression is priceless.
Code Geass has a knack for ending on crappy awesome one-liners.
QUALITY animootion.
We can has moar Kallen X C.C?
No-one ever suspects the evil penguins.
You’re the only one who did.
No comment.
Because he was a gullible rube, like half the people in the Order.
We pledge allegiance to Zero unless we change our minds!
ZOMG WUT?!
And we end with some Run/Fleezaku.
Grand Punk Railroad 
haha! i’m not really claiming to be some kind of animation aficionado. i was just used to love stories where facial expressions are key. anyway, i stand by what i said that the plot twist was great, but the execution was lacking.
now if they utilized the penguins, that arc would be the best! hurrah for runzaku! run, suzaku, run!
I am asking myself the same question.
So what is that geass symbol supposed to represent? The womb? The female reproductive system? A TV antenna?
70% of the budget went into that first screenshot alone.
@biankita
I think I was just blown away by the amazing quality of the animation to notice anything else.
@The Soujourner
?
@some guy
ALL THREE. And a bird.
@Shin
And 20% into the third.
And the last 10% went to the penguins.
This is what happens when you don’t have any C.C. or Kallen fanservice.
@ffiivknight
I think the implied yuri secks between Anya and C.C was an adequate replacement.
Lelouch now has access to even more fetishes than ever.

LOL, this blog is hilarious! I also thought the plot twist was interesting, but the execution (and animation) was a bit….off. Here’s to hoping that the next episode will be better! (And may Xing-Ke or whatever spit some more blood so that other people will stop bitching about him)
PS: I am new.
@Kurogane: I swear to christ I thought for a minute you were this guy
Same with me I thought “I am honoured to have a blogging god such as him grace the lowly pits of my dark corner”. But alas, twas not to be. But any input from a passerby is great, but try and find a different more unique username. hough not Randor. As it was my last one. And it sucked.
In response to your comment: I’d rather see him just collapse in the middle of a battle, that way Sunrise could just gloss over his existence like they do with the soldiers who’s names randomnly get mentioned just before their Knightmare frame blows up.
Soooorryyy! I didn’t mean to confuse anyone….v.v
Not to brag but since you have mentioned the “I am honoured to have a blogging god such as him grace the lowly pits of my dark corner” thing, I can’t help but to share my humble experience 🙂
Danny Choo dropped a line on my blog twice 😀
