Anya: Suzaku are you a masochist?

Suzaku: ....ehhhh (not so much a masochist as a factory of angst and self loathing)

So Euphie was Geassed but the Britannian forces inside the stadium were ready to go ahead with her orders to kill of the Japanese?

It was not Euphie who really did most of the killing but the Britannian forces who were ready to kill all these people based of race at the drop of a hat.

Wow.

Villeta Nu

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the difference between Villeta and Chigusa striking?

Now I've seen R2 I know that she gets character development later on. But ...

She's a no nonsense ruthless soldier as Villeta and when she's living as Chigusa she's a she's almost the opposite?

Now I understand that when you are a woman doing what is traditionally a man's job you've got to be tougher than the boys. But what got me thinking is what is the situation for women like in Britannia? Because we have Cornelia and Marianne and Nonette and they are all awesome and there are a whole bunch of women in high positions so is there a particular reason that Villeta acts tough? Or is she just emulating some famous Britannian ladies to get ahead?

That feel when Lelouch vi Britannia commands random awful Britannian Militarymen to kill themselves.

Finally finished the re-watch.

Even though I have seen it before and even though the last two episodes of R2 are the ones I remember the best, I don’t think I will ever be prepared for the end.

Because it breaks my heart it really does. 

But since I watched it on Good Friday I could wax poetic about all the messiah and good and evil metaphors in the series. 

But I’ll sign off with this as tragic as Lelouch’s end was, he had made his peace with it. Suzaku on the other hand gets a worse deal. He gets to live, but not as himself, he’s saved his country, but the will never thank him for that as he ‘died’ as the ultimate traitor. 

But that does beg the question, would Suzaku who is capable of frightening depts of self loathing also happy to be left alone? And also assuming that R3 doesn’t exist, in the long run is this a good thing, sure he’s been this way for years but there have been people to keep him in check. Let to his own devices without any sort of emotional support could he possibly loose is mind and become the ultimate enemy of the new world order? 

It would make and interesting AU plot at the very least.
