Oh. My. God.
There hasn’t been a cliffhanger like that in a while.
This is going to be messy. Very very messy, I think. Which way is she going to go? And what is the not-dead Cornelia going to do? Interesting that she’s Anti-Geass, thanks to Euphie’s fate. Then there’s the minor detail of “destroy the world?” I’d settled in to watch a very silly filler episode, and then they go and throw these crazy twists in. WTF is going on?
Hey, it’s Code Geas! Who cares, just enjoy the ride!
I have to wonder if Twitter-chan is going to put 2 and 2 together now. “Two Lelouches?” I’d always pegged her as the superior silent type, but no, she’s just crazy. Talk about a show full of crazy women; I’d say only Higurashi has it beat for that.
But what is this SP we kept seeing references to?
CG: the show you watch twice, not because you want to, but because you have to, to figure out all the WTF moments…
Well, quite. Very Geass to use a filler episode to bowl googlies at us. I agree that it’s going to be messy, but I can’t decide whether or not I want it to be messy.
Mentioning “code,” this entry sure reads like one. How many boxtops do I need to send in for the Secret Anime Decoder Ring?
All of them.
I deliberately write that way to avoid spoilers, if the show’s major attraction is its plot — and CG’s is how damn crazy the plot is. Fanservice shows like Kanokon are less plot-centric, and therefore I don’t mind throwing out a lot of spoilers.
However, if you really, really, really insist…Orange-kun is back in Japan now, and V.V. gave him the power of the “Anti-Geass” (power, not attitude as with Cornelia). Apparently he can generally sense people who have been Geassed, and undo theirs. His mission is to find and unGeass people around Lelouche, so as to cause his “support” to crumble. It’s stupid and illogical to begin anywhere BUT Ashford Academy, but hey, it’s CG. So when he senses Shirley on the street, he releases her Geass. However, the montage implies that he also released the Emperor’s Geass to forget Nunnally, and all that came with that…. Shirley’s first thought: “Lelouch is Zero, who killed my father.” Yet, the preview makes it clear that she understands that Suzaku is Lelouche’s enemy, and as Villetta remarked earlier, “She shot me to protect you.” So Shirley, lightweight as she may be, is now a powderkeg, and who knows when and how she’ll blow.
It’s the deliciously illogical but fun plot points like that which make Code Geass such fun to watch!
Edit: and then there is the random absurdity of Cornelia invading V.V.’s desert base and killing her way to her target…using a sword. Damn, woman, haven’t you heard of silenced guns?
