🏫School Mates (SuzaLulu x Reader)PT 1🏫

A/N: Testing the waters with posting the few fanfic content I have out so far for one of my nine fave anime ever. This reworked piece I've had for a long while is coming out. This AU is where you're a late new student at Ashford Academy. Yeah, it's sort of a love triangle. Hopefully, I can make this short story make sense in some way. All credit for Code Geass characters and pics goes to Sunrise.

DON'T COPY OR STEAL MY FANWORK, RATHER LIKE AND REBLOG. I hope you enjoy.

"Y/n … Y/n … Y/N!"

You get awoken from your dream by the calling of your name. Your head resting on your folded arms snaps up in attention to who spoke out only to spot violet eyes trained on you, exasperatedly looking at you.

"Being the new student and sleeping during class isn't a good way to make a good impression. Be grateful you sit behind me, otherwise you'd have your neck strung out by the teacher."

You then noticed students parting as class was over "Mmm … sorry … Lelouch." You mumble sleepily as your rub your tired eyes.

Said man, Lelouch, glared a bit more before his eyes softened, sighing before running a hand through his hair. "Honestly, where would you be without me?"

"I'd be dead." You dully uttered. You get hit lightly on the head by a rolled up paper, making you pout at him. "Hey!"

"No time for jokes. Come on, the others are waiting." Lelouch put the paper in his bag before taking your hand and pulling you to your feet, dragging you behind him.

"Lelouch, I can walk to the student council room just fine without you dragging me like a rag doll." You pitifully moaned as you felt sparks run through your hand as his held yours tighter taking the lead.

"You've been attending here for weeks now and you still get lost in these halls." Lelouch reminded you in matter of fact tone. His tone made you stick your tongue out with his back facing you. "And I'd quit sticking my tongue out if I were you or else you'll attract flies."

"Come on, Lelouch. Cut her some slack. She's still a late transfer, after all." An amused voice lightly chided as your free hand was held by a callous, warm hand that easily pulled you free from Lelouch's grip. "I got your back, Y/n." You turned around to see Suzaku in time as he gently bumped your shoulder with his fist, smiling carefree.

"My knight in shining armor," you softly cheered as you hugged Suzaku's arm, giving a closed eye smile as both guys blushed as they thought it was one of the cutest smiles they've ever seen. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Suzaku laughed a bit, smiling toothily back at you.

"If you two are going to flirt in my face, I'm not sticking around to watch." Lelouch rolled his eyes, he almost sounded like he was jealous; especially when deep down he didn't like you hugging Suzaku's arm in his presence. And he didn't know he would feel that sort of emotion over such a silly thing. But he couldn't keep a small smile from growing on his face as he shook his head to clear those ridiculous thoughts. "Come on, you two."

When you did arrive …

"Okay everyone, time for GUTS~!" Milly was loud and flamboyant as always.

"Aw come on, Prez! Another guts spell right from the start?" Rivalz complained, even though underneath he was secretly swooning for her hard.

"Um … hello …" Nina was typing at her computer, being meek as usual.

"Nice of you three to finally show up." Kallen said nonchalantly.

"Hi, Lulu~! Ready for another day of good old student council work~!?" Shirley ran over to greet Lelouch, teeming with a giddy, enthusiastic personality.

"Ready as always. You all should know that by now." Lelouch smiled charmingly, making Shirley almost swoon as the meeting commenced.

As the daily meeting began and went on for an hour and a half, you couldn't help but have your eyes travel around the room, landing on each single person. Every person here welcomed you into their school lives and their personal lives in some way.

Milly was as flirtatious as she was dramatic in her own lovable way.

Rivalz crushing on the pres hard while also being a goofball.

Nina, well, she was a shy introvert but a genius beneath … even though there were times you felt suspicious towards her.

Shirley, such an upbeat, enthusiastic girl with a good heart even though she's obviously falling hard for Lelouch and making it so obvious to everyone.

And Kallen, looks calm and mysterious on the surface but you had a feeling there was more to her and you had no idea why but you kinda like her for it. They slowly but surely became the first ever friends you ever made.

Soon, the meeting ended and you walked between Lelouch and Suzaku to the clubhouse which is also Lelouch's home on campus that he shared with his maid Sayako; you get the impression there was more to her like with Kallen as someone not to underestimate, and his little sister Nunnally … she was like the little precious sister you never thought you wanted; spending quality time with her especially when Lelouch was away doing his own thing.

Speaking of, Lelouch and Suzaku even … they were like two sides of the same coin. Two peas in a pod. So similar yet so different in their own respective ways. Lelouch is the brains, Suzaku is the brawn, but put them together … there's nothing they can't accomplish. You couldn't have one without the other and you wouldn't have it any other way.

In fact, it was Lelouch himself that allowed you to live with him and his sister in the clubhouse and asked Milly to convince her grandfather to allow it since the dorms on campus were already full. You may not remember much of your life before coming here, but a lot of meaning was brought back into your life, gaining new memories and a new life instead.

'So, why do I still have this nagging feeling in the back of my mind … this added pressure deep within my heart for how I feel towards these two guys … seems familiar. Whether it's good or bad … I don't know.'

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

"I like pancakes with marshmallows on top~! Heeheehee~! Yippee~! Whee~!" You blurted out randomly, causing Nunnally to laugh gleefully as she clapped, making you laugh too. You had just finished dinner with Nunnally and the guys; Suzaku was invited to eat over since he's their occasional guest as well as their childhood friend, and you were currently playing with Nunnally's hair. From the moment you met her, your heart instantly melted at the pure innocence that is Nunnally Lamperouge that compelled you to protect the precious girl with all your might!

"Oh, I'd love to try that sometime! Can we?" Nunnally had hope laced in her voice.

"Your wish is my command, my lady." Lelouch smiled charmingly, bowing before his little sister, making her giggle.

"I second that request, please." You raised your hand, smiling bashfully.

"At your service, my lady." Suzaku appeared by your side, also bowing to you, making your cheeks heat up and feel all fluttery inside. His eye closed smile radiated sunshine that is this wholesome boi.

As Lelouch gathered the empty plates to take to the kitchen to clean them up, you noticed him stopping to side glance at you, nodding his head for you to follow, before walking through the doorway. "I um … I'll be back in a bit, Nunna."

"Okay. Suzaku, do you want to make paper cranes with me? Miss Sayako and I were working on some earlier."

"That sounds fun. I'd love to." Seeing him gaze affectionately at her like another older brother to her made your heart skip a beat before you walked to the kitchen.

You spotted Lelouch's back to you as he washed the dishes. You slowly approached him, feeling nervous as you wondered what he wanted. You rubbed your arm as you do when you're anxious. The sound of his voice made you halt in your tracks.

"You and Nunnally have gotten closer over time. It feels like just yesterday when I met you; a meek new girl to our class. And yet, as days passed by, that very same girl became a part of our daily lives. As a school mate, then a student council member, and now a friend. For what was once hollow is now becoming whole again. At least, that's my basic sum of it."

You felt your stomach tie itself in knots as you timidly approached him, "And now?"

You watched as the reflection of his calm face in the window above the sink looked back at you; his violet eyes twinkling with speculation, before looking over his shoulder, now looking amused. "You look like a scared little thing with that look on your face. Relax. I'm not gonna bite."

"A – Are you sure about that?" You gulped audibly.

"I'm serious. I'm grateful to you for being here for Nunnally in my stead. Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful to Sayako and the student council being around to spend time with her when I'm busy with stuff … and I don't say this as much as I should … but … thank you." The smile he gave to you felt genuine and it made your heart flutter.

"It – it's fine. Nunnally … she's an absolute angel. And I'm grateful to her and you and everyone for accepting me into the student council and your friend group – !"

You stop speaking mid sentence. You froze, stunned in shock at the feel of lips pressed against your cheek. It took you a minute before you blinked your eyes back into focus from the daze you were in. "Consider this my gift to you."

You slowly raised your hand to touch your cheek; the tingling feeling where his lips touched your skin made something within you click into place. Your eyes traveled to meet his; you swore you just saw them glow magenta for a moment there. But his eyes were fine. Very fine in your opinion as you became lost in their beautiful violet sea; almost like delving deep into his soul and searching for something beyond your understanding.

You felt an unfathomable pull to him, making you lean closer as you noticed he did the same when the realization that Lelouch kissed your left cheek made you snap out of it; face aflame as you covered your mouth to muffle your squeak of surprise, snapping Lelouch of his apparent trance as well as he blinked several times to get back into focus.

"Mmm … I swear, everything I say and do gets you so easily flustered, doesn't it?" He laughed softly, even though his cheeks were flushed red too.

"N – No!" That just made him snicker in his hand. "I – I should head back now."

"But seriously, Y/n." You looked back to see his smile still there, tender and true. "Thanks."

"Anytime."

You returned to the living room and felt a smile break out at the sight of Nunnally and Suzaku smiling, laughing, making paper cranes together when Suzaku noticed you and waved you over to help out. But you were still reeling from what transpired in the other room.

'Lelouch kissed me. Of all people, me! It was on the cheek, but still! I don't know that much about his personal life; aside from his gambling trips with Rivalz. Did he kiss anyone before, cheek or otherwise? Before me?' You couldn't get that image of Lelouch's bemused expression out of your mind. You also couldn't ignore the fact that you felt Suzaku's eyes on you, a suspicious glaze to them.

Sooner than you expected, it was time for Suzaku to leave. You were lost in thought as you watched Suzaku bent down to hug Nunnally before nodding at Lelouch only to have your name being called on, pulling you out of it to say good bye. But as he smiled and waved, walking out the door, you watched his retreating form while Lelouch pushed Nunnally's wheelchair to her bedroom to get her ready for bed. That's when you felt the same magnetic pull with Lelouch reappear, making you follow the soldier outside.

"Suzaku, wait!"

He stopped in mid walk and turned back around, curiosity and concern flashed on his face as he cocked his head to the side, making him appear that much cuter. "Y/n? What is it? Is something wrong?"

"No … the exact opposite, in fact. I feel …" Why are you feeling this way, twice in a row? "I just want to say thank you. Not just for tonight, but for every day since we became friends. It means a lot to me." You rubbed your arm, shyly smiling. "You … mean a lot to me."

His smile lite a fire in your heart. "You mean a lot to me too. You, Lelouch, Nunnally, the student council … you've all become so important to me." He walked towards you until you were standing face to face. "You above all else."

You gaped at seeing his face start to flush red and his green eyes became glossy and … tempted. "I … I am?"

He looked a bit stunned before his face broke out into a smile. "Aw, come on. You honestly can't see why?"

What happened next took you by surprise, almost as much as Lelouch's did.

The feeling of Suzaku's lips pressed against your other cheek; once normal but now burning with heat from those soft velvety lips of his. He pulled back to give a bashful smile, scratching his cheek, "Is that enough proof for you?"

You gingerly touched your cheek, feeling the warmth beneath your fingertips, as butterflies fluttered in your stomach and your heart was racing quickly. But that's when you noticed his green eyes glow; those mesmerizing emerald gems now stuck upon your awaiting face. His eyes softened as did his smile.

Your cheeks burned as you smiled shyly at him. "I … think so."

Suzaku laughed softly before holding your hands. "Y/n, you do mean that much to me. This past month spent in school with you, sharing classes and having study sessions, even just spending time with you like that has been … wonderful." You smiled the more he talked, leaning closer as did he when you noticed his eyes looking over you to far behind you; suspicion laced in them. "It's getting late. I should head back to my place. Have a good night … " Suzaku pulled your hands up to litter gentle kisses on top of them, making you smile bashfully, " … Y/n."

You took him by surprise as you leaned up to kiss his cheek "Good night, Suzaku."

You waved good-bye as his goofy smiling face looked back at you over his shoulder as he waved back too while hurrying off, almost falling over his feet from not watching where he was going, causing you to laugh out loud at his stumble.

But unbeknownst to you but not to the brunette was that Lelouch was watching outside his bedroom window.

He watched his best friend kiss your cheek as he did earlier.

He watched as Suzaku ran off, leaving you smiling and blushing as you felt yourself floating off your feet as you walked back inside.

He did not look happy. Not one bit.

Talking a bit about Kallen's story arc

I came across a comment on Reddit not long ago (in case you don't know, it's a nest of C.C. fanboys) saying that Kallen was overrated since she had nothing beyond her relationship with Lelouch and the episode with her mom. It is not the first time I have read an opinion like that, although, fortunately, it is not very frequent.

Actually, Kallen does have a character arc. It's just that it's developed in a very subtle way. And by that I mean that I didn't realize what it was the second or third time I watched Code Geass, but much later. This is because the series doesn't tell you directly, they show it to you. I understood it better after reading Kallen's poem. Everything she says there is in the series. But they don't explain it to you with words like in the poem. The same thing happened to me with Euphemia's little story arc (yes, she has one of her own).

At its core, Kallen's story arc is about transitioning from a reckless and immature girl who finds herself adrift to a selfless heroine with a purpose that transcends her. It is a coming-age story in all its definition. In that sense, it is essentially similar to the Lelouch arc as the rebellion brings out the best version of themselves. This is compassion, empathy, altruism. It's not very noticeable because Kallen isn't Machiavellian like Lelouch is, although she is just as pragmatic. One of the best samples you have of Kallen's development is in the penultimate episode of the first season.

In the early episodes, Kallen is deeply concerned with protecting her identity to the point that she does not hesitate to take risky actions that include killing others. But, in this penultimate episode, when the members of the Student Council refuse to obey the Black Knights thinking that they would harm them, Kallen unmasks herself before them to calm them down and ask them to trust them. Kallen prioritized the safety of her friends over her secret. The thing is that she had already done it before. By Zero. Kallen comes out of her Guren to ask Suzaku to let Zero go in episode 18 of the first season. She again places more importance on the safety of her leader than her identity. The difference between the two moments is that she calmly makes the decision to reveal herself in episode 24. That was not her last option as it was in episode 18.

You'd think there wouldn't be any further development for Kallen in season two. But it's not true and, personally and based on Kallen's poem, I like to see her relationship with Lelouch as a temptation for her (temptation in the sense that it can lead her astray). Characters in visual media are often built on two pillars: what they want versus what they need, and up until that point, Kallen hadn't had to choose because the choice was so clear. That is, she had not faced a challenge. By the end, however, she must choose between the boy she loves and doing the right thing, and though Lelouch helps her choose the latter by keeping quiet about his feelings, Kallen decides of her own free will to do the right thing and, by extension, embrace her identity, her values and her brother's dream. Not caring that Lelouch has returned the kiss. Also in this second season Kallen is consolidated as the best Knightmare pilot of the series. Her most badass moments are here (and there are still people who have the nerve to say that she was relegated to the background; sorry, man, you're talking about C.C.).

I would like in the remote future to both write an individual analysis of Kallen as well as an analysis of her (misconstrued) relationship with Lelouch. On my Code Geass Facebook page I do it in Spanish and I use this space to address the international community. Now I am watching Code Geass again with a good channel of reactions on YouTube (since 2020 I have imposed the tradition of watching Code Geass once a year and with them I will fulfill my purpose for this 2023...) . I will see what new things I will discover now. I discovered what I have just told you on my return visit last year.

Fans only complain about her fanservice, spit on her relationship with Lelouch, accuse her of things she never did, and judge her harshly. They never take Kallen seriously. I want to be the first to do it, if no one with good analytical skills does it.

I couldn't post this earlier, but Rolo's alt arrived even faster in Lost Stories than Genesic Re;Code! Good thing that I have no temptation to gacha for other characters and I'm permanently prepared for any unexpected Rolos...

"Rolo [The First Time of Peacefulness]" (Taken from the official twitter account) The translation for the lines he says on the video above: (When scouted) "If it's with brother, I'd like to go to an aquarium or the sea together..." (Right after he's scouted) "The clothes that brother bought for me... I need to wear them carefully so I don't get them dirty." (First login screen) "The outfit he bought for me when I went out with big brother the other day… The student council members also said that it suits me." (Regular login screen until the last day) "I should tell brother that everyone said it suits me... Wait, why would I need to do such a thing? He's just a surveillance subject..." I'll upload the last login screen and the rest of his home/battle lines another day, as I don't have enough pizza items to earn his Trust by refilling my stamina over and over like I did last time. But here's a few notes for now: ・Judging by the name "first time of peacefulness" and the fact that Rolo refers to Lelouch as "just a surveillance subject", I assume Lelouch bought his little brother this incredibly tacky and I mean that in a good way outfit while his memories were still altered. However, whereas “Rolo [Fake Little Brother]” is treated as an Ashford Academy and Office of Secret Intelligence unit, "Rolo [The First Time of Peacefulness]" also adds Black Knights to the groups he's affiliated with... ・Furthermore, although I haven't seen any of his Trust interactions yet, this Rolo uses informal Japanese when addressing Mario/Maya (the player) in his Home lines, which suggests a closer relationship than they had during the chronological point in time that “Rolo [Fake Little Brother]” belongs to. More explicitly, "Rolo [The First Time of Peacefulness]" mentions that Lelouch is searching for a place to hide the Knightmares, so the only possible conclusion is that some of his lines are meant to take place before Turn 1 and others after Turn 4...? ・It's so endearing how excited Rolo is about his new outfit and how he's careful not to soil it… How adorable can he get? How many people have lost their lives merely from coming into contact with his clothes? ・This Rolo has a skill called "It's because I'm with Brother that it's fun" (兄さんとだから楽しいんだ) which increases his HP and defense based on the number of Lelouchs placed on the battlefield... That's the kind of skill I would have made up as a joke while brainstorming a potential Geass game 15 years ago, and now it's a reality! I love Lost Stories!! Oh, I didn't post this last time, so here are both Rolos' "full body" (you can't see the shoes) illustrations:

They don't call them "noodle people" for nothing...

Code Geass Lelouch of The Rebellion R2 Novels by Mamoru Iwasa // Non Canon

There are 4 novels for Code Geass R2, always written by Mamoru Iwasa, and a last one, the Knight of Rounds novels, which focuses mostly on Suzaku, Gino and Anya, as well as a part focused on Marianne. You can find additional info + Season 1 novels translations right here. Aside from the first one, Turn 1, R2 novels weren't translated in english like the season 1 novels and while the novels in japanese can be bought, and are actually available in chinese online, no one actually had the courage to translate those fully; **Still you can find some part of the novels which were translated amongst various places of the internet right below**

I'll be honest, I don't have it either, novels aren't very interesting to me since they are merely an interpretation from an author who isn't part of the writing team, so no canon information can be found, and i'm not a fan of this type of merchandising as i'm more of a fan of the CanonVerse than i am of the various AU/Fanon verse.

Season 1 novels were already translated and not much enjoyable to read for me, so i didn't read the R2 novels, that means unless someone is motivated enough, or if someday i am motivated enough, I'll only post some novel bits that can be found over the internet, or some summaries found in Animesuki when the novels aired ;

If you are fluent in chinese and want to fully read them, you can find the novels right here

R2 - Turn 1

No information for Turn 1

R2 - Turn 2

No information for Turn 2

R2 - Turn 3

For Turn 3, you can find some tibdits that were translated, mostly about C.C., because you could get some interpretation by Iwasa about what could possibly go on within some character's head.

Original translation can be found there, I pasted it here because it's put in the middle of various texts about C.C., both mixing canon stuff and not canon one, so it's a bit messy to link it directly;

It's supposed to be an insight of Lelouch's thought after he comes back from C.C.'s inner world/past in Turn 15.

I’m ‘too kind’? What stupid words!    

Who’s the one being ‘too kind’ here?    

C.C., when you first made contract with me, you didn’t reveal anything. I was afraid that I was nothing more than a tool to end your eternal life. But now I know your weakness that differs you from the nun, the Code bearer from your past; you are too kind. No matter where you go, even when your body is immortal, your heart is still that of human. Whenever you make a contract, at first you have no feelings for your contractor. However after spending some time together with them, you change. As your heart longs for love the most, the girl longing for love would appear. You become confused, and finally come to conclusion: as long as the contractor grows to hate you***, they would leave you on their own. This way, you wouldn’t have to assign the same pain to them as the nun did to you. How stupid. You are really an idiot. Then why make contract? Wouldn’t it be meaningless? How could you have feelings for the person you intended to use?    

Here’s one thing I can tell you clearly.

“Don’t underestimate me, C.C.! Do you think I didn’t know your weakness? Do you think I fell for your cheap ploys? For being manipulated by you, do you think I would hate you?”

(*) In the novel, it’s explained that one of the reasons C.C. sent Lelouch into her memory (and not just him, but many of her past contractors) is to make them hate her by showing them that she would ultimately betray them just like the nun did her. That is, if they haven’t hated her yet for ruining their life by giving them Geass.**

**This is one of the various instance where novels contradicts canon, as it was stated C.C. sent Lelouch within her past to actually protect him from the emperor, it is atually even stated by C.C.'s dark double herself who understood Lelouch was someone important to C.C. for her to send him over there My Own Thoughts : C.C.'s past didn't show her betraying her past contractors, it mostly showed how she came to acquire her geass and Code, the suffering she had to endure and the nun's betrayal, so it really doesn't make sense, Those image are unlikely to spread hatred, and Lelouch had already witnessed how C.C. was dealing with her past contractors with Mao, he didn't came to hate her anyway. R2 - Turn 4

Once again Mononoke no ko translated some stuff about C.C. in the same post i linked above so you can check it again right there

It's a Monologue that Iwasa pictured right after C.C. and Lelouch's scene in Turn 23, after she comforted him about Zero Requiem being the right path to take.

‘I do not want to lose this man.’ Thought C.C. without any hesitancy. There’s a way for her not to lose him. However, he wouldn’t want to use this method, and even she… did not want to. Then what should she do? C.C. hadn’t come to understand the way of the world, even when she had lived for who knows how many years she still didn’t understand, had no way of knowing what is right and what is wrong, but she was sure of one thing. That he, the man named Lelouch Lamperouge, would not stop running toward death. He chose this path on his own will. He’s like a horse that couldn’t be stopped. She wanted to blame him, but couldn’t… She wanted to cry, but couldn’t. So… "Lelouch.” He said “Hm,” in response. “Do you remember, that time in Narita?” C.C. asked a bit out of the blue, that Lelouch felt a little confused. “Why suddenly…” She leaned on his back, then continued, “Why snow is white?” There’s an instant blank, before Lelouch immediately answered, “Because it forgot its original color.” “Then do you remember, Lelouch? Your original color.” “Stupid question,” he replied, finally back to his conceited tone. “I am me, I would never forget.” “Is that so…” “What about you, C.C.? Do you remember your original color?” “Who knows, but -” “But?” “At least right now, my color is your color, Lelouch.” Silence came. Then Lelouch laughed softly. “You selfish.” “Of course,” she wanted to cry a little - but instead, her face revealed a smile from the bottom of her heart, “it’s because I’m C.C.”

Another scene that was summarized is the Lelouch/C.C. hangar scene from Turn 24, you can see it in it's own post, once again by Mononoke no Ko, so no need to copy paste this time it's right here

My own Thoughts : Basically it doesn't say anything new, Iwasa tries to expand on the position of Lelouch and C.C. (But since we saw the whole scene between them without any cut till they even stumbled from the Guren crash, it's yet another contradiction with canon)

And the final scene which was translated is the ending of Turn 4, which is basically giving food to Lelouch is alive theorists, when, once again, this novelization contradicts canon in every way, shape or form, as you can see in this post here

The wagon was filled with hay. There was a girl sitting on it with waist long hair and incredible appearance, that's the first impression she gives to others. She was focused on folding a japanese origami, something completely irrelevant to the surroundings. Finally, the origami gradually took shape, it was a crane. The girl gazed satisfactorily at the crane for some moments before putting it on the hay. Then after stretching her body, she laid down on the hay vigorously, the wagon shook slightly, the horseman glanced backward without turning around. The girl didn't care, she inhaled the smell of the herbs bathed in sunlight, stared up at the sky and smiled sweetly. Then-

"The power of kings, Geass, will make you lonely." The blissful and ringing voice of C.C. echoed in the sky. "Heh, not at all, right, Lelouch?"

The horseman holding the reins still, glanced back. Before turning around, a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corners of his mouth. The wagon continued moving forward slowly with the pull of two bad horses.

The weather was mild and sunny. The sky was cloudless.

That's about it for the Main story R2 novels; As a side piece, just like in S1 with the Red tracks Novels we have the Knight of Rounds novels

Knight of Rounds Novel

Knights of Rounds (a novel following Suzaku alongside Gino and Anya, set mostly during the time between R1 and R2, although there is a special chapter that goes into the past and follows Marianne as a Knight of Rounds before she became an Empress) Once again, not much was translated, and I can't blame people on that, still you can find a translation of the first chapter about Gino by the amazingly motivated Ellen right there

For the Marianne chapter, I read it a long time ago and I only remember she was quite blood thirsty and mostly seemed to care for her children as long as they didn't get in her way (so very fitting with the Canon Marianne)

That's it for the R2 novels, There will probably a third post about miscelleanous novels, like the Talkin Rebellion that can be found in the Guidebook, But I won't mix those in there, they'll have their own post. Hope you enjoyed !

My problem with Knight of Seven! Suzaku:

In one sentence: Best outfit. Worst morals.

Everytime I look at Knight of Seven!Suzaku I get overtaken by rage. Complete. Frothing at the mouth rage.

Because. On one hand, the Knight of Rounds uniform is objectively, the most flattering outfit in the Code Geass universe. Everyone and their mom would look good in a Knight of Rounds uniform. It’s a fact of the universe. That outfit is perfection. And it looks the best when it’s worn by Suzaku. He could not have been hotter. None of his subsequent outfits (mostly slutty skintight flight suits that shows off his shoulders for no fucking reason) can match Suzaku in that uniform in terms of pure sex appeal.

Look at it. Look at how good he looks.

(Especially when he wears that massive cape? Wow he is fulfilling all of my visual requirements for a man and then some, and I usually don’t go for men.)

On the other hand though, Knight of Seven!Suzaku has the worst morals of all Suzakus. Absolute lowpoint. Complete dud. The most massive hypocrite I have ever witnessed in my life. “I am still a good person” bitch you tried to forcefully inject a prisoner of war with an illegal drug during an inpromtu and unauthorized interrogation. Just fucking casually conquering other nation-states on behalf of a racist colonizing imperial power. Wow. What a right thing to do.

Thus, my rage becomes clear. My heart categorically refuses to find any fictional character (or any real life person) who perpetuates colonialism endearing/likeable/understandable/deserves rights. But my brain is going “hot person is hot! Appreciate hot person!“ like an alarm bell without a snooze button. It’s terrible. I feel like I’m being pulled in two. I hate feeling this way. It means I react incomprehensibly whenever I see Knight of Seven. My hatred for him, which would’ve been at “Tohdoh finds out Suzaku is the pilot of the Lancelot (i.e. I respect your life choices even if I don’t agree with them at all), instead it gets turned up a hundred fold and I turn into Jeremiah screaming at Zero at the end of R1 whenever I see him.

Me @ my brain: can you please stop finding him aesthetically attractive. You know we don’t go for this specific type of war criminals.

My brain: but! he pretty!

Me: I fucking hate you

history of my Anime/Manga Eras:

2000-2005 (proto-weeb era): introduced to Ghibli, immediately obsessed. Notable media from this time: Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle

2005-2006 (pre-weeb era), introduced to the concept of manga from an exhibit at the children's museum, sister got really into Drawing Manga for a while, i was envious of her drawing ability & tried to emulate. also read a few volumes my friend had borrowed. Iconic media from this time: Marmalade Boy, Tokyo Mew Mew

late 2007-early 2008 (early weeb era), started taking Japanese (to this day I must insist i did NOT take Japanese bc I like Anime it was the OTHER WAY AROUND which like idk if thats better but shrug emoji), started borrowing manga, mostly shoujo iirc, from middle school library (that had a shockingly good selection), only watched a few anime. Iconic media from this time: Kindaichi Case Files, Fruits Basket, Vampire Knight, CCS, Red River, Paradise Kiss, OHSHC

summer 2008-2012 (Weeb Golden Age), kicked off by an epiphany moment that holy shit Twilight is garbage, i can just stop trying to be cool and Popular, i'm ok with being a Nerd goddammit. watched more anime but still not that much. Got more into shounen series. Era of checking out the maximum limit of manga volumes from the public library and reading them all over the course of a week. Era of going to Lindsay's house after school to play Shitty Naruto Fighting Game. Generally kept my interest in it under wraps esp when around "popular"/normie peers. (memorable moment: driving past the convention center on Con Friday omw to a lacrosse game, teammates see cosplayers: 'lol wtf' me: *hiding face bc that's gonna be me tomorrow*)Iconic media: Fullmetal Alchemist, Code Geass, FLCL, Bleach, Tsubasa:Reservoir Chronicle/xxxHOLiC, Junji Ito's Uzumaki, Nana.

[summer 2013-early 2014 Dark Ages (superwholock era)]

spring 2014-2016 (Weeb Renaissance/Cringe Era: anime edition), part of my Fandom Tumblr era, got sick of other Fandoms and went Fuck It i'm an anime fan again! (cornell notes: interesting parallel to Spring 2008!). Sakura cons: 2014, 2015. Iconic media: SNK (lol), Free! (Lol), Yuri on Ice (ok), Tokyo Ghoul (ok), and uh does. dmmd count.

2017-Present (Integration Era): Sakura con 2017 just kinda a constant background part of my life now ig. Don't care if people know but im still not just wearing anime merch around. Not that i wouldnt but that shit's expensive lol. More into just reading Good Fuckin Manga these days. Discovered my secret to being able to read manga online (i hate reading on a laptop and phone screens are too tiny for some series): tablet! (first theorized by me and then proven right by virtue of commandeering family's old unused samsung tablet). Now maybe i can actually finish Dorohedoro... Attended Sakura Con in 2023! What's next? Iconic media of this era: Dorohedoro, Pluto, Berserk, Chainsaw Man, and...?

Thoughts on Tales of Vesperia after completing Act 1

So recently I got Tales of Vesperia on the Switch, owing mostly to the strongly positive opinion the fanbase at large holds in their hearts for this one. I thought it’d be a good time to take a pause and share my thoughts on the game, particularly its characters, plot, and the actual gameplay.

Since this game enjoys such a strongly positive reaction within the fanbase, I’m going to be very direct and uncompromising with my thoughts. I would just like to say right off that I think it’s a good game and I’m eager to see what follows. Additionally, just to make this clear, this is only based on my thoughts up to a certain dragon calling Estelle an “insipid poison”. I have also heard that Act 2 is where it starts getting good, so I’m looking forward to that.

I’d also like to say that prior to this game, my experience with the Tales of Series is limited to Phantasia, Eternia, and Berseria.

Spoilers to follow, obviously.

So starting with the elephant in the room; Yuri Lowell. And my god, is this character popular with the fans, holy shit. Unfortunately, I found him rather... disappointing.

If I were to sum Yuri up in three words, it’d be “baby’s first antihero”. Let’s make one thing clear; Yuri is not even morally-grey, he’s a squeaky clean morally-white hero who performs unambiguously good deeds and is nice to basically everyone he meets that doesn’t start shit with him. The worst he’ll do is snark while he’s performing heroics and commit crimes against a government so corrupt that the circumstances, and his lack of collateral damage, absolve him of any guilt.

He might have been impressive compared to the likes of Cress Albein, but this guy was made in 2008! Code Geass predated Tales of Vesperia by two years and Lelouch did the “revolutionary who fights a corrupt government through immoral means” shtick with way more moral nuance than Yuri does, and that’s to speak nothing of Velvet Crowe, Yuri’s 8-years hence successor in dark heroism, who does his whole thing with far more actual dark deeds to her name.

This goes nicely into Flynn, who is... a cop. A relentlessly-moralizing cop who can’t seem to go a scene without scolding Yuri for being reckless (even though Yuri’s recklessness never actually punishes him) and chides him for leaving the knights and casting aside his ability to make change, even though the only thing Flynn accomplishes when he’s not taking advantage of something Yuri did is running around the continent like a chicken with its head cut off.

Flynn appears naively blind to how hopelessly corrupt the system he’s trying to “change from the inside” happens to be, with rotten eggs being present in both of the Empire’s branches of power (Ragou and Cumore particularly) and both taking immoral and occasionally murderous steps to control the future emperor. 

This game is, without doubt, a vigilante power fantasy. Yuri breaks the law and spends several hours of the game having essentially kidnapped one of the imperial heirs on a careless fancy but because the trio sent to arrest him are painfully incompetent and he has both the prince and princess on his side he gets away with it, he goes off into things perpetually half-cocked yet it always manages to work out, and when the corrupt noble Ragou gets off with a slap on the wrist for treason, Yuri just takes the law into his own hands and mercs the bastard at night and tosses him into the river. While inside a city which has an often adversarial relationship with the Empire from which Ragou hails. And he somehow fails to start an international incident in doing this.

(Sigh)

Well, getting off Yuri.

Estelle’s a great character. I’m a sucker for strength-building character arcs, and watching Estelle go from a painfully sheltered princess to... well, still a painfully sheltered princess but one who knows she has to get un-sheltered is nice.

Karol sparks my issues with kid characters. I don’t actually mind his cowardice, because he’s a kid, but by god does he need to learn to keep his mouth shut. His perpetual noisiness and need to interject himself into every moment is what actually irritates me.

Rita’s a walking vehicle for double standard female-on-male abuse, which is depressingly mid-2000′s, but because her victim is often Karol when he draws attention to himself or Raven when he acts... like himself, I’m more inclined to forgive her. I also think her anthropomorphization of Blastia is a very endearing and unique character trait; it nicely demonstrates how into her field of research she is. Her crush on Estelle is also pretty cute, and I actually like that she’s a character who’s tagging along for differing reasons than the rest. I kinda dislike when I can’t get a good feeling on why the individual members of the party are even present beyond a generic, “we must save the world!” thing.

Judith’s an interesting woman, but more in the sense that I’m interested in what she’s hiding, for she’s clearly hiding a lot. As a character, watching her interactions with Yuri is a lot of fun.

Raven’s a funny guy. I like his perpetual old-man shtick, though his horniness for Judith is pretty creepy and I hope it gets toned down. He’s also hiding a lot, obviously, and I’m interested in seeing where it goes.

Repede’s... a dog. A cool stoic dog, but still :’D

As for the plot, this one feels a little strange in that it’s a bit late into the game and I’m not quite sure what the final course of the plot will be. I’m sure we’ll be dealing with the Empire’s corruption for a while, but I sincerely doubt that’ll be how the story ends. Most likely the real plot has something more to do with what’s up with Estelle, the nature of Blastia, and why Judith was destroying them.

Gameplay is your standard Tales action RPG affair. It feels a lot more technical than Eternia and a lot less forgiving than Berseria, so it’s a bit more challenging than I’m used to. Nothing overwhelming, though, and the concept of secret missions in boss fights is pretty novel, even if some of them are a bit tough to figure out.

Dungeons are generally pretty good. They’re quite simple compared to how maze-like they can get in Phantasia and Eternia and generally revolve around a central gimmick, but they’re leagues better than Berseria and its endless corridor-dungeons.

So yeah, in whole, pretty good game, interested to see where it goes from here!

name: euphemia li britannia age: 17 pronouns: she / her series: code geass canon point: post-episode 23 app triggers: brainwashing / mind control, violence, colonialism, genocide, terrorism, kidnapping, hospitalization, death

personality:

full of love and kindness, euphemia li britannia comes across as a princess straight out of a fairytale. she’s the third princess in the britannian royal family and thus has led a rather charmed life with such a position in a massive global power. no matter who you are or your origins, she will respect and care for you; as long as you are a person who treats others well, she will return the favor.

she’s rather smart too, having been able to realize her half-brother lelouch is the person behind the masked rebel zero after one proper encounter. she forgives him for all that has happened to this point while he’s been using that role; euphemia understands to some extent even if she doesn’t agree.

she has a tendency to be impulsive and naive about certain matters as well, holding out hope despite situations. euphemia is willing to use her title to get her way and proves it well even at the cost of herself.

something your muse struggles with: her naivety.

your muse’s greatest strength: her kindness.

history / background:

the britannian noble family is vast and powerful. however, one amongst them would be the darling third princess known as euphemia li britannia.

she’s loving and sweet, looking on the bright side of issues while seeking the best possible solution for all of those around her. on a short visit to area 11 (formerly known as japan), she falls from a window right into the arms of a boy named suzaku kururugi. becoming a sort of tour guide and companion, he takes euphemia (affectionately referred to as euphy) where she asks and it allows them to come to an agreement; they seek to help the japanese as much as they can from their positions.

it’s a rough uphill battle when she’s one of the only people that supports such an ideal though. even her beloved elder sister cornelia is against her in the matter, though doesn’t actively stand in her way. as the sub-viceroy, she’s more of a figurehead than a real person to those around her; a token princess to sway the masses more to their side. she won’t stand for it though, not in these conditions, not when she has more than one stake in the matter. suzaku isn’t her only reason for wishing for things to change for the oppressed. it’s simply a matter of caring.

being taken hostage does nothing to dissuade her either and, actually, clues her into the identity of zero, the leader of the black knights group. after this incident, she’s persuaded to pick a knight… and chooses one suzaku kururugi for the job.

briefly this falls through. he abandons the battlefield without a known reason and dismisses himself from being at her side, resulting in a hurt euphemia. bound and determined to have some control in her stance, she demands one thing: for suzaku to love her and she shall do the same in turn. it’s a new agreement between them, one deeper than their first encounter, and he’s reinstated at her side.

finally though, after fighting with herself and her ideals and how to go about saving those she wishes to save, euphemia makes a breakthrough. in it, she designates land where the japanese may refer to themselves as such again and were given the rights and respect they lost after being colonized and ruled over by the britannian empire for the last handful of years.

it’s here when it falls apart.

her half-brother lelouch, acting as zero, arrives to speak with her about the matter. having learned his identity already, it’s amiable enough. they discuss and the reasons become clear; euphemia not only wants to help those in need, but also to protect their younger sister nunnally and has abdicated her right to the throne in turn for this action.

he explains the power of geass to her, how any command he gives must be followed until the end, for example if…

… … …

euphemia wakes up in a capsule. there’s an oxygen mask over her face and an ache that pulsates from her stomach. suzaku’s there, speaking with her and yet not all of it makes sense. she was there, about to turn a new leaf over for so many, yet now she’s laying down… somewhere else. suzaku keeps looking so worried.

i did a good job, right? they’re happy with what i did, right?

he reassures her. euphemia continues to paint that warm smile over him when his expression becomes fully indecipherable. she lays one last wish upon him; to continue attending school because she couldn’t.

his hand should be warmer than it is. the pressure is there, but everything still feels so cold.

euphy shuts her eyes for the final time.

I need to go to sleep, but the Delicious in Dungeon/Dungeon Meshi discussion is reminding me of Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin. When the title sounds weird in English, and the Japanese isn't too hard to grasp, I can see why people prefer the Japanese. For Dungeon Meshi I feel like it makes even more sense because Dungeon is borrowed so directly from English, so "Dungeon Meshi" is not hard to say. It's shorter, even. I get why it needed an English title, because meshi isn't a commonly known word, but I bet it'll become a lot more well known now.

I feel like this might be an ongoing list of how titles get treated, as I think of them.

Doraemon (this sound probably go in the "both anyway" category

Sazae-san?

Nanbaka

Dorohedoro

[It's probably examining which ones I put in this category versus which ones I put in 'It's Both Anyway' that's interesting]

Some Japanese, some English (/some proper noun):

Bungo Stray Dogs

My/Boku no Hero Academia

Fugou Keiji Balance Unlimited (?) (I called it the Daisuke anime, anyway)

Blue Exorcist

Katekyo Hitman Reborn

Kaiju No.8 (I'm counting Kaiju as the English word)

Ouran High School Host Club (Ouran koukou host-bu)

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (does it have more Japanese...?)

Wandance!

Seraph of the End (owari no seraph)

Vampire Knight (it was Vampire Kishi, right??)

Keep it but add on:

Ajin: Demi-Human

Magi (??)

Ano Hana ? (this actually seems like a good fit for this category)

5 reasons why Kagino doesn't work (and 3 reasons why Kalulu does)

I was planning to prepare the small analysis of the final scene of the last episode of the first season, but, given the latest events that have occurred on my other Code Geass page, I decided to postpone it and work on a publication that I had planned for the future: explaining why Kagino is the most forced ship in Code Geass, besides Lelouch and CC in the infamous movie Lelouch of the Aberration (you will know it as Lelouch of the Resurrection). Also why Kagino is one of the worst ships in Code Geass. Please note that I use the term ship because this is a fandom pairing. Gino was never a love interest for Kallen and vice versa, according to official material (including the series).

1.It's a forced ship. This ship was invented by the Newtype magazine, which was ProCluClu, after they tried to do the same with Xingke and the ship had no support. What is the need to promote this ship? Kallen was becoming too close to Lelouch for the liking of CluClu fans, so it had to get her rival out of the way, and what better way for her heart to have an owner other than Lelouch? Actually, there could be other ways, but even the CluClu shippers saw the chemistry and sexual tension between Lelouch and Kallen. She was a threat, from their point of view. I have emphasized this because ""coincidentally"" the CluClu shippers are the only ones who pair Kallen with Gino (yes, I'm seeing that they are realizing that they are losing credibility due to their bias, so they are trying to hide what they are pretending they are Shirlulu or Kalulu shippers; they clearly don't understand what they are doing wrong, right?). The other 0.0002% are people who ship them because they believe that CluClu is canon and Kallen is alone and deserves someone to take care of her heart, but, as Miley Cyrus said in her powerful song, Kallen can buy herself flowers, ask herself to dance, telling herself things that only she understands, holding her own hand and loving herself and being happy.

Kallen is a romantic interest of Lelouch. You can see their relationship develop and take on a romantic nature as the episodes go by in R2. There is a narrative construction. Unfortunately, I won't be able to track their relationship here since that requires a separate analysis.

2. The "other reasons" that accompany this ship are superficial. The ship background that I expressed above is the real reason. There are no other compelling reasons to pair Kallen and Gino apart from the fact that they are both handsome, the same age, they exchanged a few words, and they are Knightmares pilots. Still, for CluClu shippers, those reasons are enough to prove that they are "soulmates." It's complete nonsense. You have work colleagues or study partners and your mother or your friends or your teacher or your boss aren't matching you with any of them, right? Furthermore, Suzaku also meets these requirements and no one is pairing him with Kallen (for the record, I find this ship interesting; but I don't think it works in the context of the series either).

My point is that just because two people are contemporary, attractive and (more or less) doing the same job doesn't mean that they are each other's ideal partner or that love will arise between them. Love is a spontaneous and free thing, which brings me to my next point…

3. Gino and Kallen have no romantic attraction for each other or sexual tension. The biggest "evidence" there is in favor of this ship and surely what started this nonsense was a comment Gino makes in episode 9. But, far from demonstrating a romantic interest or sexual attraction for Kallen, it shows that the fandom has problems of reading comprehension. Let's see, read the comment: "Anya: This is the ace of the Black Knights. The pilot of the Guren. Gino: Yes, the one from before. She is much prettier than the wanted poster of her. "That's my kind of woman!" What does this tell us? 1. That Gino recognizes that Kallen is pretty. 2. That the type of women Gino is attracted to are pretty. There is a big difference between "I like women like you" and "I like you." Just because you appreciate a person's beauty doesn't automatically mean that you like him, that is orthodox and childish thinking (this makes me think of men with fragile masculinity who refuse to admit that another man seems handsome to them because they think they would look like homosexuals and they have been made to believe that masculinity and homosexuality don't go together). Even more important is Kallen's reaction, when he makes the comment: she just turns away. She doesn't smile or blush. Zero interest.

This is very different from what happens between Lelouch and Kallen. She does react to Lelouch's comments, no matter how minor they may be. Like this double entender in episode 5. "Kallen: Are you talking like Zero or Lelouch right now? Lelouch: It's not like everyone knows about our relationship, right? Kallen * blushes *: Stop saying weird things like that, okay?"

Just a few days ago I read a phrase on Twitter (or X) that said that the moment preceding the kiss was even more valuable than the kiss itself. That's where you find the so-called sexual tension and Lelouch and Kallen had two moments like that. Three, if you want to tell the dialogue that preceded the kiss in episode 22. I will go into more detail about the kiss and the two almost kisses of Lelouch and Kallen the day I'm going to talk about those things from theory. In fact, I don't want to stop to examine the romantic relationship between Lelouch and Kallen like I said.

Gino and Kallen never flirted or had intimate moments. At most, they only poked each other in the last Picture Drama, but it was a display of friendly rivalry. No other thing. Pretending that that never happened, there is one moment in particular that I want us to review, as I consider it crucial to explain why this ship doesn't work:

4. Gino didn't accept Kallen because of who she is. At some point in episode 17, Gino is looking for Suzaku and went to visit Kallen in her cell believing he was there. Instead of leaving, he shows her the photo album he was originally going to show Suzaku and they start talking about him (did I tell you that it makes more sense that Gino would be more romantically interested in Suzaku than in Kallen? I'll tell you again, so). The conversation changes and Gino starts talking about Kallen.

"Gino: I understand that you are half Britannian and half Japanese, right? If you chose the name Stadtfeld instead of Kouzuki, you could have a good life, right? Even become one of the Knights of the Round if you have such ambitions. Kallen: Is this going anywhere? Gino: What I mean is, wouldn't you like to come back to us, Kallen?" What is wrong here? That Gino doesn't understand nor is interested in understanding why Kallen chose to embrace the cause of the Japanese and the Black Knights. Instead, Gino brazenly advises her to abandon everything and join them since life is much more comfortable fighting on Britannia's side (this is the kind of flippant comment that comes from the mouth of a person who is in a position of privilege, if you ask me).

Gino doesn't realize that Kallen's motivations for fighting are tied to her principles and ideals. Therefore, this is like asking Kallen to give up who she is: an ally of justice, a patriotic woman, and a defender of freedom. This reflects a clear disinterest on Gino's part and this is a problem because you can't love someone without knowing them and accepting them for who they are.

This is in stark contrast to Lelouch. While Gino asks Kallen to turn her back on her beliefs, her values, and the people she cares about (the Japanese and her family), Lelouch prefers to push Kallen away from him rather than force her to give up her principles and her life for him because, for Lelouch, Kallen's well-being and integrity are much more important than being together. This is the true definition of love.

5. Gino and Kallen don't share principles. A couple doesn't have to be two conjoined twins. They may have different tastes, ways of thinking, preferences, interests, hobbies… If they truly love each other, they will learn to adapt to each other because one doesn't really change who they are for another person. But a couple needs to have, at least, the same values, ideals and life plans (I would add, also certain beliefs). Otherwise, it will be difficult for this relationship to prosper.

Gino is a Knight of the Round and has been an active collaborator in the conquest and colonization of independent nations. He clearly agrees with Britannia's expansionist policy. He has no problem with imperialism or colonialism. Kallen, on the other hand, belongs to the largest insurgent group fighting against Britannia and fighting in the name of freedom, justice and equality. She detests colonialism and imperialism due to her own experience, so she disagrees with expansionism. These discrepancies would prevent Gino and Kallen from having anything (that is, they wouldn't even have been friends).

Only Gino showed some empathy with Kallen, when Lelouch killed the Emperor and usurped the throne, claiming that he finally understood what it feels like to have another come to take power illegitimately and arbitrarily. However, a coup d'état is not the same as colonialism and, of course, this doesn't mean that Gino will change his principles. Only he's going to have a just reason to fight (finally). It would have been better if Gino had apologized to Kallen, but that was an act that required a great deal of effort.

Lelouch, for his part, is a rebel at heart like Kallen. He may have lied about many things, but he genuinely believes in the ideals that he has preached as Zero and Kallen welcomed them as her own because they fit her values, which are no different from Lelouch's. It's not a coincidence. There is a small parallel between the dramatic situation of the Japanese and that of Lelouch and Nunnally. They were all dispossessed of what they had, including their identity, and forced to live as strangers in their land. Therefore, Lelouch and Kallen are more compatible. Even if they hadn't met in Shijunku, sooner or later their paths would cross over their hatred of Britannia, their contempt for the empire's Social Darwinist ideology, and their desire to change the world (well, this desire would germinate in Kallen once she met to Lelouch who, in turn, would obtain it as soon as he received the Geass).

The same can be said about Lelouch's other ships, by the way. Shirley wants to be a loving wife and have a happy family, CC wants to die (at the end of the series, she is focused on living every small moment of her life to the fullest just like Jamie Foxx's character in Soul) and Suzaku wants to change.the system from within. I won't enter the swampy terrain of reviewing the ideals and values of these characters. It's not my goal.

In conclusion, Gino and Kallen don't stick with glue or tape. Lelouch is emerging as a more worthy suitor, despite everything. And, therefore, Karen-chan only has eyes for him. Kalulu is better.

PS: of course, a fanfic could correct all of these things. But I don't think it even exists and I'm focusing only on the series, too.

Hello LoSto, bye-bye GeaGene

As I mentioned a while ago now, here’s Rolo’s only lines in Lost Stories so far, from a special event:

Rolo: Brother, is it really okay to let Sayoko handle this?

Lelouch: It’s fine. Normal people can’t see through Sayoko’s high disguise skills

Rolo: It’s not the appearance that I’m worried about...

Sayoko: Rolo-sama, there is no need to worry. I have spent many years assisting Lelouch-sama

Sayoko: I can perfectly replicate the way in which Lelouch-sama acts

Rolo: Really? Don’t forget that if you are exposed, you will put Brother in danger

Sayoko: I am aware. As the 37th Successor of the Shinozaki School, I will wholly fulfill my role as Lelouch-sama’s body double

Lelouch: I leave it in your hands, Sayoko

Lelouch: More importantly, Rolo. Watch out for Suzaku’s behavior. If he takes any action, let me know immediately

Rolo: Sure, Brother

Lelouch: I sense there is a plan behind choosing Nunnally as the new governor of Area 11

Lelouch: Most likely, that man...

Lelouch: The 2nd Prince, Schneizel

Lelouch: There’s no way he would stay quiet as millions of Japanese people, including the Black Knights, have exited the country

Lelouch: He must have already thought of his next movement. Before that, we must urgently take measures... 

Rolo: Even in the Chinese Federation, you have a lot of things to do, right Brother?

Lelouch: That’s right. That’s why I trust you two to take care of things over there. I leave it in your hands, Rolo. Sayoko

Sayoko: Yes, sir 

Rolo: Yeah. Good luck to you too, Brother... ---- As some of you may have already heard, Genesic Re;Code will be no more after 27th April 2023. It’s a bit sad, but probably not a sign that Geass isn’t popular enough, but rather that Lost Stories is the better app (which has even announced an international release!). Both visually and in terms of writing, Lost Stories does feel much more faithful and like a “canon” part of the Geass universe, whereas Genesic could sometimes get way too fanfiction-y. Really, it might just be me, but I'd say you can already tell in the few lines he has here that this Rolo sounds more like The Real Rolo than he ever did in GeaGene (not voiced yet, though). Here’s hoping that he has already properly been added to Lost Stories as a recruitable unit by April. As for Genesic Re;Code though, unfortunately international servers closed immediately after the announcement that the app would be shutting down, and the VPNs I’ve tried won’t fix the “can’t connect’ error. If anyone knows of a working VPN, please let me know, as I would have wanted to record *everything* Rolo says... (I already posted all of his main lines, but he also has short win and lose quotes and things like that).

Custom Toonami Block Week 74 Rundown

Code Geass: So we’ve got another one of those “wacky bullshit student activities” episodes, though this one seems to ride the hardest on “shit is going down, the world is ending but haha Shirley romance drama” though admittedly it does have a nice character arc for Milly so that’s cool. Lelouch is worried that the Knights of the Round are here to investigate him until he realizes both of them only have one braincell between them so it’s fine. Cornelia’s also murdering her way through religious fanatics so that’s cool. And last but not least we have Shirley and Lelouch finally getting together right before Jeremiah Geass Cancels her amnesia so she knows Lelouch is Zero and killed her dad and presumably the other stuff that Charles put in the whole school’s brain somehow. I’m sure this will end well and their romance will survive in a way that isn’t insanely tragic.

Inuyasha: We’re still in fillertown and it’s another SangoxMiroku episode. Man we get a lot of these in filler huh? I kinda don’t remember which Sango/Miroku moments are canon at this point. I’d kinda laugh if it was just all filler and some manga-only fans were bewildered when they ended up together in the end. Anyway, Feudal Lord has a thing for Sango because he has great taste and Kagome ships Sango/Miroku so she doesn’t want her to go, Miroku’s like “Hey it’s her choice, she’s been through enough, she can choose her own life, I’m not gonna get involved” which is pretty mature but the girls still hate on him for it. Sango’s just like “Dude even if I wanted to stay I still have this Naraku-slaying quest to go on and I’m not about to sit around all day and be royalty while my friends go kick Naraku’s ass for me.” Which is how most love confessions in this series go. Also Sango suplexes a demon bear the size of a building with her bare hands and it’s pretty great. In the end the lord doesn’t give up going after Sango but they finish the bear stuff and are on their way. I like how they don’t go out of their way to demonize this guy in the end to prop Miroku up, he’s still a good guy, Sango’s just got shit to do and is more the type to like a warrior who’s got her back. There’s some really cute shipping shenanigans here and all in all it’s fun filler.

Yu Yu Hakusho: We’ve got a three for one deal here as Yusuke and Kuwabara assblast their way through the Dark Triad in one episode, continuing their power play of beating villains with little effort while the boss man bets that they’ll completely wreck his guards which is still a pretty interesting dynamic. We’ve got cringey 90s trans commentary, an invisible dude that gets blindsided easily and a hostage ogre that gets beaten by Botan taking off her coat. Honestly for these guys being supposedly minibosses they kind of went down easier than some of the grunts. But now Kuwabara’s in contact with Yukina because his bullshit power of love connection actually works for some reason and they’re in on the final fight with the Toguro brothers. With this many people betting the GDP of countries on the fight there’s no way this isn’t rigged. I really like how YYH basically makes shonen fights just part of stupid black market deals for a large part of it, just like in real life everything’s decided by some old rich guy.

Fate Zero: Kayneth’s still fucked up and has Rock Lee syndrome and can’t use jutsu anymore so his wife’s like “Yo buddy you can’t give Lancer the magic cummies anymore anyway, lemme take control of your hunky knight manslave or I swear to god I’ll rip your arm off and jerk him off with it” which since she asked so nicely he just kind of does. With Lancer still kinda being uppity about Kayneth having dibs on his soul and Sola-Ui being weirdly horny and increasingly yandere for him I’m sure this’ll end well. Saber and Kiritsugu are still pissy with each other because Saber wants to go after Caster to stop the child murders which is fair but she’s also injured and shit and she’s mad at Kiritsugu for not teaming up with Kayneth to just take down Caster right there and I mean I don’t think he really had time to suggest a truce while getting attacked with Terminator 2 goo, he’s not really the asshole here. Meanwhile and more importantly, ISKANDAR HAS PANTS! Nothing can stop him now and they crash Caster’s child murder party and are jumped by Assassin’s Forty Thieves (they aren’t named yet but I’mma just assume) and Iskander’s just like “Yeah no I’m not fighting five ninjas knee deep in child guts.” And they just burn the whole place down.

Konosuba: So in a bizarre Interspecies Reviewers/Food Wars crossover, Kazuma goes to a succubus house and instead of just getting sex they do dreams and shit which seems more complicated but I guess it’s less morally gray. Anyway, naked Darkness and contrived hentai plots ensue. They sprinkle in some good character stuff for Kazuma which is nice, it’s always kind of hard to pin down where his principles lie. Like he’s generally a scumbag and will take the easy way out of anything but he’s not evil and will give Darkness an out on their encounter if she wants and will get his ass kicked to protect his local sex worker. The Principled Scumbag approach is kind of neat for him, I wish a few more of these moments didn’t feel the need to immediately undercut themselves with a joke but that’s the nature of the series. I feel like one or two more genuinely sincere moments throughout a couple episodes would do wonders but either way it’s still amusing.

Sailor Moon Crystal: We pick up right where we left off with Tuxedo Mask throwing himself in front of the Kamehameha for Usagi and then she goes Super Saiyan and cries pokemon tears to bring him back to life. But the bad guys are somehow like ‘yoink’ and steal him from her lap through a barrier somehow (that still kinda pisses me off) and for some reason the crystal that booped its way into his chest isn’t there anymore and Usagi still has and and Usagi’s going through a lot of shit right now between processing the trauma of a millennia-old kingdom falling that’s partially her fault, working through her romantic feelings and having a Steven Universe identity crisis about how to process her identity as a reincarnation of someone a lot cooler than she is, so most of this episode is Usagi crying, as most episodes are, but at least she has a good reason.  Then we get a Girl Squad Roll Out montage because fuck it we’re going to the moon somehow.

Durarara!!:  Apparently everyone knows about where Celty’s head is but her because she visits Izaya’s office where the head is just kinda behind some books on his bookshelf and she doesn’t know but Shinra’s dad has enough time to mug Namie after telling Shinra and Celty off for their weird interspecies relationship and tell Izaya to have fun fucking around with the head. Also people have shifted from being worried about the Dollars to being worried about Saika and ALSO being worried about the Dollars maybe being at war with the Yellow Scarves. Celty’s looking into it and Shinra shows some character development in just coming out with it that Saika was the sword that severed her connection with her head… I don’t know how you cut the soul of a head that’s already cut off but okay, at least Shinra’s not hiding shit from here anymore. Also Saika’s about to seriously chop up Anri and Masaomi comes to visit his girl in the hospital finally.
