Code Geass R2 Ep. 5

If you are reading this, you are reading an edited version, since I’m trying to make this better. It was pretty terrible to begin with. Also, in case you haven’t noticed, my goal with Code Geass episodic posts is not to inform, but to ramble incoherently about things that didn’t actually happen.

Code Geass episode 5 is a filler episode. Most people like to compare each episode with it’s corresponding episode from season 1, so I’ll say that R2’s episode 5 is better because it doesn’t have Euphie in it. The episode starts out with a nice bit for us Kallen enthusiasts, who we get to see her in her silly TitSuit.

Also, cute blush is cute.

The question of whether or not Zero’s followers will still have faith in him or not is answered when he comes before them and says practically nothing. He just stands there and takes the criticism until his more loyal followers basically fap to his greatness while moaning his name. It’s amusing and slightly pathetic at the same time.

Much to my chagrin (I’m sad that he’s not dead yet), Suzaku returns to school and plays it safe with Lulu as though nothing ever happened. These guys have damn good poker faces, while Roro sucks at keeping his cool. I mean, was his success as an assassin 100% dependent on his Geass? What a pansy. Speaking of people who suck, we get to see the Knights of the Round in action. “Hey, let’s attack some of our own men for practice! LOL! Since we’re ‘testing’ them, nobody will mind if we break their KnightFrames!” Assholes. Anya is cute and all, but she creeps me out. The quiet ones are always the worst.

Strangely, Roro admits to Lulu that his Geass has a weakness, but we don’t get to hear what it is. I don’t know what to believe here. Roro doesn’t seem stupid enough to admit a weakness, but if it’s some sort of trap to test Lulu by giving him an opportunity to exploit this “weakness,” I imagine Lulu wouldn’t fall for it.

Even stranger, C.C. is dumb enough to jeopardize everything for some pizza (or did she really come for Cheese-kun? Who exactly is beardface?! Will our questions be answered?), but she ends up as part of the pizza! Was it worth it? (Answer: Hell yes) Sadly, along with some of the really hot shots we get of the girls this episode, the other half of the episode seemed poorly drawn. Quality it was not.

And what about that box? Silly Rivalz, that’s not Nina’s box! Nina’s box would have read like this:

I’m sad to say that the only real thing of interest in this episode, other than all the half-naked females (though I suppose Viletta was more like 80% naked), was the ending, in which we find out that Nunnally is the new Governor-General, but Lulu will have to deny her existence if he hopes to keep Suzaku unaware. Way to drag a cute, innocent, blind wheel-chair loli into things and make her get rejected by her brother as part of some stupid test. It isn’t confirmed that Lulu will deny knowing her, but I see no other way around it. I wonder if Nunnally is secretly a genius who can see through it all…oh wait…that was insensitive of me. Sorry, Nunnally. I guess we just got off on the wrong foot…oh damn it.(Note to self: Some people don’t think laughing at cripples is funny).

I almost forgot! The newest Geass user came as quite a surprise.

Just as planned, nya!
