Well, after watching the first few dubbed episodes, I decided to finish off the rest of the first season of Code Geass and am now watching R2. Since there is not already a thread on this, here is a thread to discuss season 2 in context with spoilers from season 1 which should not be discussed in the adultswim thread. Here is a link explaning a little more on R2. www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=9173High-quality subbed episodes can be see here: www.zomganime.com/code-geass-r2.html

^ Meaning good players do not have their kings take on each other face to face, leaving them open to attacks from other pieces?
Anyways, if anyone has watched up to episode 9, what do you guys think of Zero (Lelouch) kidnapping Tianzi, the Empress of China in order to aid him in taking control of the country and stopping the marriage between her and First Prince of Britannia, Odyssus.

Honestly it was probably the out the Black Knights had. Think about it. IF Xing was able to over throw the government he'd be immediately be attacked by Britian in retaliation. I have no doubt he'd sell out the BKs as a gift to the Empire to appease them and solidify his coup.
Also consider that India is looking for independence from China through the BKs. I highly doubt Xing would look kindly at "chinese" states looking for independence during his coup. At this stage in the game the material support that India has provided totally out weighs most of what China has given.
I don't think Lelouch should have been such a crazy twig about it, but then when in Zero mode he's kinda insane.

Episode 10: When the Shenhu Shines was quite interesting. It seems that Xingke is amazing abilities in both battle tactics and Knigtmare piloting. His plan to use the river to turn the ground really hit Zero (Lelouch) pretty hard. Also, Kallen has been taken hostage by the Chinese Federation (no thanks to Xingke) and now the Black Knights have been forced to retreat to the mountainside tomb of the former Tianzi knowing the Chinese would be hesitant to attack. After letting Xingke and Shenhu help them out, the Eunuchs turned their backs on him and the Chinese Federation again by taking them captive and calling for aid from Britannia. The Knights of Rounds including Gino (Knightmare-Tristan) and Anya (Knightmare-Mordred) are shown approaching the mountain at the end of the episode. What really surprised me was the "other" Lelouch who was shown towards the end with the Student Council including his fake brother Rolo. I wonder how he pulled that off. Anyways, Episode 11 is going to be pretty da** good based off what I saw in episode 10.
Important Note: What happened to Orange (Jeremiah Gottwald)? He was talking to V.V. at the end of episode 9 about doing this and that and he doesn't even show up? I really want to see him back in action soon.

ep 10 was a mixed bag for me. We get to see the new frames which I liked, but the lack up setup for the battle tactics made it really flat. It wreaks of "we just made it up" which I completely dislike in my story telling. Or as as the blogosphere likes to call it, "LOL, just as I planned! LOL nono just how I PLANNED!" *WTF face "Don't tell me he was one step ahead of me!?!?!"
The whole Lulu in china but at the academy was totally out of the blue and they better have a good explanation about it. Rumors range from the plausible "it's something geass related" to the "someone is coplaying lulu!"

Well, let's wake up this thread!! lol I finally caught up to the current episode of R2, and I wanted to know if anyone else has seen episode 17? Seeing CC like a shy little girl is weird and a bit annoying. I hope she gets her memory back. I'd also like to know how Charles got VV's "Code". Now he's immortal. Well that sucks. lol I'm just enjoying this show. I am sad that Shirley is dead, though. Rolo should pay!!

Ahhh, good 'ol R2. Gotta love it! The latest episode where *SPOILER* Rolo died was crazyyyy. I feel sorry for Lulu because now he's all on his own. Everything's been pretty screwed over since Shirley died. We can only hope he crushes the emperor and somehow redeems himself to all his formerly-loyal Black Knightsmen, especially Kallen because we all know she's perfect for Lelouch! I think he did pay. ^^ Who really needs to pay is OHGI! He betrayed Lelouch and everything, all for his little girlfriend. Also, in other randomness, I'm a little scared of what's going to happen with Suzaku. Everyone seems to think he's lost his marbles, and I think I have to agree. I hope he doesn't do something else stupid. Launching the FREYA was enough of an error. Seriously people, we should wake this topic up! Im suprised its not booming, Code Geass is amazing, especially in Japanese. I understand why it wasn't to excited during the Chinese whatever arc, that was really boring. But now we're really into the swing of things so get posting!

Oh my, Rolo died. I was a little sad, cuz he was kinda cute. And now Lulu is more alone. My question is did Rolo die cuz his geass overpowered him, or cuz he was already weak? I'm not mad a Ohgi. I'm mad at Scheider(sp?)!! HE spill the beans and then said that Lulu was just using them for his benefit (which is kinda true). So it's understandable why Ohgi was so mad. He felt betrayed. REmember what Kallen said to Lulu when she found out that he was Zero. She said, "You were just using me!" and she started not to trust him a bit. Lulu has dug himself a hole now. When the BK were confronting him about using them, he went ahead and said that he did. He even hurt Kallen. Of course he did that so he would get killed, cuz he feels like he has nothing to live for, now that Nunally is dead. Now that he is alive, it's literally him against the world. Oh, and yes, Suzaku IS losing it! He started a crazy laugh. lol

I think he died because his geass overpowered him. I read somewhere that everytime he used it it made his heart skip a beat, which when used back to back repeatedly over larger distances (which require more power), it obviously puts a huge amount of stress on the heart and the brain, so yeah. He died because he was overpowered, not so much weak. His death scene was so touching too. I almost miss him now. I'm not mad a Ohgi. I'm mad at Scheider(sp?)!! HE spill the beans and then said that Lulu was just using them for his benefit (which is kinda true). So it's understandable why Ohgi was so mad. He felt betrayed. I don't know about that. I mean, even if he felt betrayed didn't Zero already do so much for him? How could he just betray his fierce leader that brought them up from terrorist trash to a real united threat to Brittannia? And besides, I kind of got the feeling that Zero was sort of using everyone in OoTBK, and they didn't really mind. I mean, using maybe isn't the right term, but they were tools in destroying Brittannia, right? I mean thats what soilders essentially are... tools to further the mission. So why was Ohgi so suprised? Don't get me wrong though, Snizchel (Sp) should die too! And a horrible death at that. ;D Oh, and yes, Suzaku IS losing it! He started a crazy laugh. lol Lol, I know. I read in somebody's spoiler comment on a blog review (DarkMirage.com) that he's going to go on a killing spree.

I thought it was be comething like that, but with this series, you never know. Yeah, he death scene was very touching. Even though he knew he was dying, he kept trying to use his Geass. EDIT: Darn, I messed up the quote thing.

Woot, three more episodes to air till the series is finished. D;
Gah, I'm still kind of picky about the Lelouch/Suzaku teamup, and the Knight of Zero.
...ALL HAIL EMPEROR LULU.

LOL. I know, it's weird. I was actually shocked when he became Emperor. I didn't think he'd do that. Course, he does a lot of things that shock me, that's why i love this show. Keeps me on the edge of my seat.

I'm prepared for Lelouch to turn out to be a girl, or something like that. xD
--- GAH, NUNALLY OPENED HER EYES. That was REALLY unexpected.
...And is it just me, or was the only person to die in episode 24 Diethard?
