Code Geass R2 05

Best Episode Ever?

Actually, it’s a rather slow episode in which not that much happens.  The rescued Black Knights members celebrate their freedom and regroup inside the Chinese embassy.  Zero welcomes them back, but some of them are understandably upset, due to Zero abandoning them during what was supposed to be their moment of glory.  He offers no explanation, other than to say that it was all for the sake of defeating Britannia.  They seem to think that he’s using them as pawns (which is true) and not offering up any real answers.  Toudou steps in and explains, that sometimes secrecy is necessary on the battlefield and they need Zero’s abilites.  Ougi also shows his support, saying that they need to believe in him and no one else can do what he does.

Alright, who cares about story when you have this?

 

This all takes part during Suzaku’s welcoming party at Ashford Academy.  As does this:

Make no mistake about why I watch this show.

The President uses the welcoming party to try once again what they attempted last year: to make the world’s biggest pizza using a Knightmare.  So, of course C.C. is on the scene, much to Lulu’s horror.  Unfortunately, our favorite pizza loving witch doesn’t fare so well.

Oh, C.C., will you ever obtain that which you desire most?  Probably not.

Do people really look like that in real life?

The episode ends with Suzaku revealing to Lulu that he intends to become the Knight of One, the Empire’s highest knight.  The Knight of One gets the privilege to own any Area that he chooses and he intends to pick Area 11, effectively giving him indirect rule.  He gives Lulu the opportunity to speak to the next governor on his cell phone and who’s on the other end but Nunnally.  Dun dun DUN!
