Code Geass R2 21: It’s Not Like NGE In Any Way. Nope. Uh-Uh. Completely Unique.

What Human Instrumentality Project? What LCD? What Gainax ending?

That was amazingly pointless, how the hell would anyone be able to see anything like this coming. Are we really supposed to discern from the information we got in the past 45 episodes of the series that Charles’ plan was to unify the human race into one giant hive mind so that everyone could “understand” each other, all because he and his brother saw people killing each other around him in their attempts to gain the throne? (Is it me, or is it odd how the human race in the world of Geass managed to go from natural fields, horses, castles and carriages to gigantic frames and Gefjun disturbers within 50 years?)

I still don’t understand what the “Code” is or how their immortality works or why we had to see a giant tower of “brown substances” spiralling into Jupiter(?) to get their point across or who exactly “God” is in Charles’ and V.V’s quest to topple the Gods, but what I do know is this:

Lelouch.

Is.

Fabulous.

Throughout the last five minutes of the episode I was just Lol’ing all the way through, with the idiocy of that Prince who’s name I forgot (you know, the one who was going to loli-rape marry Tian Zi), Spinzaku’s steel-breaking entrance and everyone’s GASP’s of surprise at whatever Lelouch said. But for now, let’s take a step back and look at the bullshit events that happened in the episode.

There is a severe under utilisation (if that’s even a phrase) of Kallen in the second half of this series, she’s been so useless lately, and we no longer even have her ever-inflating chest to gawk at anymore. But soon we shall get back to the Knightmare battles and Kallen will return to her rightful place as queen of the skies.

Say what you will about the writing in Code Geass, I think that this was handled pretty well. It’s right that everyone puts on a different face for different people, if we couldn’t tolerate people we didn’t like or appease those around us, everyone, be they individuals or nations, would just be pissed off all the time and the human race would probably end up exterminating itself. But merging everyone into the LCD a single entity’s going to far, taking away a person’s individuality etc, but Charles’ way of thinking (A=B) is just plain stupid, conflicts will never cease as long as people have free will.

Marianne was gone as soon as she appeared, which I’m kind of thankful for actually, as she was irritating. It’s funny how the very awy she and Charles want to discard the illusionistic world of lies is bye lying to as many people as possible and tricking them into accepting their philosophy. Well, they’re both dead now! (At least, they disappeared into pixie dust, so they’ll probably show up again later).

EPIC GEASS.

FUCK YEAH, GAESS TEH GODS THEMSELVES.

This was just great to watch, when in doubt, hax “The Great Will of The Macrocosm Mankind”.

He’s both a lover and a fighter. An excellent lover, at that.

In one fell swoop, Lelouch takes it all. You have to admire his style as he usurps the throne in a beautiful fashion. ALL HAIL LELOUCH!

So, over all a nonsensical awesome episode where thigs spiral insanely out of control and make no sense. It’s strange how they made Charles out to be such a huge badass (hell, even when disappearing into the ether he’s a huge badass) and no he’s supposed to be gone (though we all know that he really isn’t) and also that blowing up the door to the Thought Elevator did jack shit in stopping people getting through. The writers have no idea what’s going on anymore and we shall simply fall prey to their whims induced from excessive crack use.

Just how I like my CG.

Geass’d Anya is still moe.

How am I supposed to raep you in your sleep if you do that?

Difference is, everyone wants Suzaku to die.

C.C, you must stay alive no matter what for the sake of fanservice doujins Lelouch.

Everbody dance now!

Bros before hoes.

Biatch.

OH GOD, KILL IT WITH FIRE.

Not so “Keikaku Doori” now.

Screw the penguins, it was the sheep all along.

Unification… it feels so GOOD!

Condemning hand motion is condemning.

Psycho Crusher!

Double Geass FTW!

“I’m happy because Lelouch was *censored* me in *censored* so hard *censored* *censored*.”

“It’s good to be Lelouch’s personal *censored*.”
