Lelouch, about your mother, I have something to tell you…

This episode left me with many more questions than I have answers once again. While last week was a “shit hits the fan” episode, this week we are back to setting up the next confrontation. The writers manage to reveal some supernatural tidbits along with a surprising character appearance, but only give us part of the truth. And unsurprisingly, Schniezel continues to forward his scheme for world domination.

Now that’s what I’m talking about, he’s coming for you Charlie

Crusader’s saving the country this week, so I’m all by my lonesome, but we have plenty to talk about this episode. The inevitable betrayal of the OotBK comes to full fruition along with all of the consequences that surround that, including the death of another main character. And once again the writers re-align us for the final showdown between Lelouch and the Emperor.

Only the good die young

Here ye, hear ye, the Council of Death of the glorious nation of Tomino is now in session. Let those who have business before this Council step forward and be heard. Today the Council passes judgment on the characters of Code Geass regarding their worthiness to be standing at the very end of it all. Let the guilty be promptly executed and the innocent be “cast in the name of God, ye not guilty!”

Author’s Note- Readers should feel free to comment on our decisions and make lists of their own. If this works out well we plan on holding additional “sessions” of the Council as often as needed when there are significant deaths or plot advancement worthy of changing our decisions.

Airdate of this episode, August 10, 2008…Nagasaki a-bomb dropped, August 9, 1945

While the last couple of episodes were mostly setup, this week was uh, definitely the punch line. It was also the punch out line for several characters, who are presumed dead (note nobody is ever dead in a Sunrise show until you see the body). This week we get combat, mayhem, prison breaks, and a nasty WMD for super duper cheesy and obvious ironic effect.

You’re both idiots this time

This week was not as combat-oriented as the previews may have led us to believe, but theoretically next week will be. The episode mostly focused on Suzaku and Lelouch’s meeting and the consequences that followed. In the end it feels more like another setup episode for how it’s going to all play out in the final showdown.

Most satisfying screenshot of all time

This episode has the single best 20 seconds of Geass ever aired, bar none. Watching Kallen pull off a punch combo against Suzaku was so damn satisfying that everyone should watch it on loop like I did. There was like 20 minutes of some other stuff, but it was mostly setup for the shit hitting the fan starting next week.

As expected some of the truth of geass is revealed, although to a lot of us it’s probably not that much of a surprise what C.C.’s wish was. Other than that we got to see Drugzaku struggling with himself, Nunally asserting her authority, and a literal “cliffhanger.” Oh, and a naked C.C. and a loli C.C., I almost didn’t survive that.
