Code Geass R2

So, the Black Knights are getting settled on an artificial island given to them by the Chinese. Then they find out the Empress is in an arranged marriage with Odysseus, and the Black Knights are used as tools to improve the Eunuchs' status. Anyone and everyone shows up to the reception; Zero, Kallen, Kaguya, Suzaku, Gino, Anya, Nina, Schneizel, Canon, Lloyd, and Milly. Needless to say, there are some interesting conversations that happen. Chess games, yaoi jokes, and Nina's psychotic episode ensue. Skip to the wedding, and Xing Ke crashes the party heroically. But then Zero appears in a villain-like manner as he suddenly appears holding the Empress hostage.

Also, it appears that the Gawain is salvaged from the sea, but the Siegfried wasn't found. Now we see Orange-kun sipping on some champagne as he talks with VV. Looks like he's going to join in on the action.

We also get some Kallen on Lelouch action ... right in front of CC ... as she complains about the pizza toppings.

Nina is crazy as ever. Orange comes back pretty soon. Milly shows off some cleavage during the party. Chess battle.

yay orange is gonna be back now!?!?

No...No...Damnit, Orange is back, and with a cool eye-piece.

I have no grounds for laughing at him anymore.

Oh, well. Lelouch must have some insane Karma, seeing as how he's been saved, again, because crazy passed by.

i assume this probably orange may get a geass of his own, if so that would be awesome. I don't quite understand why zero keeps trying to steal Suzaku but i imagine its for a good reason. I love that they answered my gawaine question and I assume that the other ship will be alright as they left it open, they don't seem to have too many red herrings everything seems to be said/done for some reason further down the line.

Yeah Xing Ke kicks asses. :twisted: Pretty intensive Scene when the little Empress is calling after Xing Ke.
I`m not sure if it was a good Idea to take the Empress as a hostage, thats gonna backfire on Zero.
Regarding Nina, it`s gonna get very interesting if she finishes her researches. I don`t think anybody can hold her back if she gets her "Bomb".
Lately im a little bit surprised about the Development between Kallen and Lelouche. I always thought he and C.C. would get closer.

Of course you still have grounds for laughing at him. I mean, he's wearing a creepy, orange, half-mask for crying out loud!

Also, when Schneizel first show up, he seems very evil. Later he doesn't seem so evil, and when Lelouch takes the Empress hostage, he laughs like a true villain. Meanwhile, Xing Ke's smile and thoughts almost lead me to believe that he'd say "The power of love will triumph!" (not really).

I think it was more of a "Get Suzaku out of the room so I can use the geass on everyone in the room" plan than "I must have him on my side" kind of plan.

Yeah, it sorta backfired last time.

In other news, what of that new plane...thing? The druid command system is aboard an airship now?

Are we gonna see badass airship laser duels in addition to badass mecha duels?

Well, if that is an airship and considering how well things have been going for Suzaku, we might see Llyod's airship (I can't remember it's name) get shot down.

Also, the thing with the chess match was to get Suzaku out of there so Lelouch could Geass everyone.

What the hell. There are 2 Lelouches. Another Geass user perhaps
I'm thinking that it maybe Rolo in disguise, as we haven't seen him for some time.

Rolo was right there with Shirley and Rivalz! As if Kallen actually getting captured wasn't enough of a surprise! My only theory is that Lelouch flew back to Japan after playing chess with Schneizel, and that Lelouch is controlling a robot disguised as Zero. Though, that sounds really far-fetched, and the next episode preview seems to disprove it. I'm also surprised that Suzaku didn't notice CC in the picture. Of course, Anya is quite awesome for taking that picture of Milly molesting Shirley under her swimsuit, but where did the picture of 'Prince' Lelouch come from?

In the next episode, it looks like Orange-kun will start his business and CC will make a major impact with her piloting and her forehead sigil acting up. Now that the Eunuchs have pretty much decided to execute them and rely on Britannia, I wonder if Xingke will be forced to switch to Zero's side?
