Can I just say that Lelouch looks so damn hot as the emperor? He looks fabulous being so smugly in command. I just have to squee. Yay.

Lloyd is now working under Lelouch, too! I like that very much; nothing beats having those two in one place. Lloyd is still funny as hell, and nothing seems to have changed his cheerful attitude. Jeremiah is still loyal to the emperor as well, which is rad; Lelouch needs all the allies he can have, despite his absolute power. And, I’ve grown to really like Jeremiah.

Suzaku sure is a smooth talker; he actually shattered Gino’s conviction! Just for the record, I see potential in Gino, and I hope he’ll switch sides soon. Like, yeah.

I love how C.C. is the only one with Lelouch when he goes to participate in this, uh, democracy. (Duuude, voting like that is a practice of oligarchy; not democracy. In the practice of democracy, people draw lots, in the assumption that everyone is fit to rule or whatever. Let’s get that fact straight, shall we?)

Lelouch is aiming for a world dictatorship! Brazen move, but I like it! I can’t believe Xingke says Lelouch has become the enemy of the world; I’m sure a lot of people still support him! Like, me, hahaha! He’s done good things, too, have they forgotten that already?

Screw you, Nunnally; why couldn’t you have just died and not be a nuisance to your brother? What’s Schneizel talking about; Nunnally as the emperor? Is he stupid? That’s the most ridiculous idea I’ve ever heard! It’s disgusting, really; Nunnally is now twenty times as annoying as Euphemia had been. I wish Rolo were back; at least he’d be perfectly supportive and loyal to his brother.

Rolo pwns Nunnally. ‘Nuff said.

Oh my God I'm crying! I'm really, truly crying over the death of Rolo! The poor kid just had to die saving the brother he had always believed in! Why did it have to be like that?! He loved Lelouch very much, too! I don't even care if he killed Shirley, whom I never really sympathized with; he shouldn't have died! No! I like him! I like him much, much more than I can possibly like Nunnally!

And it's just *wrong* that everyone is now turning against Zero because he turns out to be a Britannian prince! Aren't they just being racist now? It's so unfair on his part; he made them win their battles! The nerve to betray him! Don't they know that it's a GIVEN that people are sacrificed in combat? I can't believe that these same people go to war and yet can't accept that some of their people *have* to die. It's unbelievable; the hypocrisy astounds me. They think it's unjust that Zero Geassed and killed their comrades and yet they don't see anything wrong in killing him or giving him to the Britannians that he has waged war against! All they care about is that they get their country back; they can hardly care less what happens to the person who, from the very beginning, has done so much for them. They couldn't have even accomplished ANYTHING without Lelouch's help! I'm SO infuriated by all that's happening, dammit.

Kallen is the sweetest; I'm so happy she trusts Lelouch to the end. (Lelouch just had to be an arse and tell her another bunch of lies. Someone knock some sense into his head already. It's bad for his reputation to be such a liar, especially when the truth will help him out of the mess he’s in.) And C.C.! What will happen to C.C. now? I wish she were still her cool, nonchalant self; she surely would have helped Lelouch out at such a crucial time like this! Nice timing, memory loss.

I've absolutely lost respect for Toudou and Ohgi and Tamaki and Diethard and the other characters whose name aren't worth remembering. Naive fools; they only care about themselves and their own gains. The nerve. Screw them. They can just drop dead; the Japanese don't deserve to be led by traitors like themselves.

Hell, Code Geass is genius. ♥

But, I still think Rolo shouldn't have died. He didn't deserve it. (Now let me join the fanlisting for him. ♥ )

Is it wrong if I say that I was cheering for Rolo to kill Nunally already? I used to feel okay with the girl, but then she has always proved herself a nuisance to Lelouch, and she needs to be out of the way for good. Yes, I'm all for Rolo as Lelouch's sibling; at least he has some use and is actually aware of what's happening outside fairytales.

Jeremiah has finally joined Lelouch! Yay! With a Geass nullifier at Lelouch's disposal, he's at the best position to take down anyone - including the emperor himself! Hah!

Rolo killed Shirley. Eh. Not that I liked her or anything, so I feel nothing about it.

Is it wrong that I’m beginning to dislike Nunnally now? I don’t dislike her as much as I disliked Euphemia, but she’s starting her descent to that level, I’m not sure. I have a thing against characters with, uh, hearts of gold, simply because they’re not realistic. And dull, too, and annoying.

This turn is pretty boring for my taste, although I realize its necessity to highlight Lelouch’s emotions and yay character development. It shows that he’s still very human, despite the fact that he has the Geass now. What was his promise to C.C. in the first season again? That he won’t fall to the Geass. Personally, I think he’s doing really well at keeping that promise.

That he wanted to have a dose of Refrain is a bit overdone, though; I don’t think he’d be that desperate. (Although I don’t really know; I’m not carrying the burden of the world on my shoulders now, am I?)

The Lelouch-Rolo moment was a bit awkward; I feel that Rolo was standing a tad too close to his brother. Eh. I do like the fact that he’s getting jealous of the real sibling Nunnally; I just hope he doesn’t get too jealous, because that just won’t work.

I’m so thankful Kallen slapped the hell out of Lelouch. He deserves it so, me thinks.

Suzaku is fail at the natural sciences. How terribly embarrassing for him.

I sense that Lelouch is planning something. When doesn’t he anyway. :P

Oh my God, but the utter genius of this turn literally makes me cry. I've never seen anything like it before! I doubt the word marvelous even begins to cover it, but it's really marvelously, beautifully done!

I thought it was really sweet of Rolo to have used Geass to help out Lelouch in such a crucial time like that. He's beginning to grow on me; what a sweet guy. Yeah, I guess I like him now. (He should just make sure he doesn't turn against Lelouch.)

Rakshata is so easygoing and yet so devious all the time; I like how she has long planned how things would be against the Lancelot. Having her always pwning Lloyd is too awesome to resist; actually, I like her more than I like Lloyd now. Yay for this machine genius. Woot. Lloyd is just fail against her, and it's so funny.

Kallen is pure win, too! Her loyalty to Zero is remarkable, but it's not too much to the point of being annoying to me. Overall I think she has developed into a likeable character who can kick ass, and of course, pilot the Guren efficiently.

I dislike that Anya person. I see neither personality nor depth in her.

Lelouch didn't have too many frames in this turn, but I guess it's just well, since it focused more on the fight. What I don't like is how Nunnally's character is turning out; does it mean she'll be against her own brother in this? It sucks that she doesn't know how much he's been doing for her sake; I guess she's never really realized how unsatisfied Lelouch is with how their lives have turned out. I hate it that she chose to be with Suzaku, but I hope she changes her mind soon. Seriously, I'm even crept out that I ever considered the SuzakuNunnally pairing before, as Suzaku is a hypocritical bastard who should never be with anyone whom Lelouch holds so dear.

Lelouch can be pretty annoying, too, sometimes. It's great how he's shown to still have feelings and not some crazed psycho who kills people for the heck of it; the proof of which can be seen in how much he values his sister, as well as his friends. It just frustrates me that he crumbles too easily; he's very intelligent and yet he can't keep his emotions bottled up so he can think straight. I know it can be argued that it's his sister that's of main concern here, but I think there could have been less dramatic (and more Lelouch-ish) manner through which they pulled off his sentiments like these.

To be very honest, I found the first half of the turn rather boring. Or is it because Suzaku just had to get some frames and waste my time? Huh. Anyway, it all picked up as soon as C.C. showed up for the - surprise! - giant pizza. Man she is unstoppable when it comes to pizza.

Can I just say that I dislike being introduced to new characters? I get it that they're supposed to make things more interesting, but those Anya and whoever else people bore, if not irritate, the hell out of me. I feel like Code Geass can proceed without needing too many of them. They don't look very interesting anyway.

I wonder what the weakness to Rolo's Geass is...

It was just hilarious when Lelouch put a paper bag over C.C.'s head. Hahaha! After that he pushes her into a truck full of tomatoes! It was too funny for me, especially since Lelouch did everything oh so casually; you'd have to give it to him for pulling those off without trouble.

Although... running just isn't his thing, which makes it doubly funny. How ironic that someone who can possibly take down the biggest empire in the world can't run after a cat. :P

So it's official that Rolo is on Lelouch's side. Great! I'm starting to like him for this!

Suzaku hasn't changed much; he's still an a-hole as he has always been. Someone bash him with a stone tablet already. Lelouch has to gather himself and pretend like he doesn't know Nunnally. He's supposed to have only a brother, right?

The end was such a cliffhanger. How cruel! Gotta watch the next episode. Like, now.

I have to say, Lelouch Lamperouge must be a sort of Napoleon Bonaparte. Getting a cold-blooded assassin to listen to him? Hah; what charm must he have! :D

Someone get C.C. away from armaments. :P

I absolutely love how Lelouch used the tactic he had once used during the previous Black Rebellion; it shows how he knows that the Britannians haven't learned from their past mistake. Which is rather embarrassing for them, considering they should be well-informed about things like this. In any case, I found it hilarious when Lelouch suddenly went, "Now they've crossed our territory; kill 'em!" Now *that* was an excellent move. I don't even care that he lied flat-out to Guilford about fighting one-on-one, since a prince like him should break his promises in case the necessity arises. (Thank you, Machiavelli.) It was really just genius.

Rolo, Rolo. Hm, I'm not too sure about him; I really don't feel strongly for or against him. For now, he's just, well, there. It sucks for him that Lelouch will only be using him to get to Nunnally, but that's how it's supposed to go.

I know I shouldn't compare, but I was screaming "Light Yagami!" in my head when Lelouch started sweet-talking Rolo and saying stuff about their being brothers and all that glitz. It sounded pretty unLelouch to me, but very much Light Yagami indeed. Ah, evil geniuses. They're both so awesome.

Suzaku is going back to Ashford Academy. How curious. Even though I don't like him, I admit I look forward to how he and Lelouch would interact. Lelouch would make it very interesting, indeed, since he's playing the memory-less Lelouch Lamperouge.

Another amazing episode! I must admit, R2 is definitely more exciting than the first season. I love this one; it's so intense.

I was a bit confused when I thought it really was Lelouch in front of the camera, then I saw him in the gym with Viletta the next second. He threw me off guard, just like Rolo, and I had to squee like mad when I realized the trick. C.C. is a wonderful partner in crime, hahaha; Lelouch must be so thankful he has her with him. :D

I don't find Rolo's character too difficult to figure out, based on this episode. It seems to me like he really wants to have a brother, whether it's Lelouch or someone else. It actually appears like he's grown rather fond of Lelouch, and the way he reacted when his brother was about to take away the locket was a giveaway. I'm thinking he grew up alone - most probably an orphan who yearns for a family. All right, maybe not orphan, since it appears he doesn't have a birthday. :O (But I'll leave it at that for now.) I can't find it in myself to dislike him at this point, but I'll see in the next turns.

I love the trick that Lelouch pulled off when he made his way out of the boutique. It gave me the same feeling that I had when it was Light Yagami (from Death Note) figuring his way out of trouble that was Misora Naomi/Ray Penbar/L Lawliet/etc. Creating discord like that was absolutely genius; it made me smile and grin and, well, squee for him.

Kallen is pretty funny, too. I really like her now. And I hope I don't change my mind soon.

I love this turn, but at the same time I hate it because it ended in a cliffhanger. I have school tomorrow; I can't keep watching! D:

The second episode is wonderfully done; I believe I had to squee and cheer for Lelouch at several places (or the entire episode? Hmm...). It's awesome how he's back in his game; I'm sure everyone missed Zero. Even losing his memories hadn't rusted his genius. I love how he's so arrogant, so confident of himself and his ability; he really is back.

Oh, and I love his entrance as well. Trust him to be always have a grand arrival.

The Lelouch and Kallen conversation was pure win as well. Actually, Kallen isn't as bad as I first thought she would be. I like her more now, I think.

On another note, I don't know when Suzaku will die, but I promise I'll throw a party and treat myself to a chocolate cake when he does. That hypocritical bastard is still as terrible as the last season, if not worse, and he's even on the emperor's side now. I don't know how he's able to look at himself in the mirror; gracious, he still wants to change the world from within? He can't even start by changing himself to begin with. I'm more than embarrassed for him and his supposed principles.

And did Suzaku really think that erasing Lelouch's memories will do anything of value? Gosh, what an idiot. 'Seems like he didn't learn anything in Lelouch's one-year break.

I'm so happy that Diethard and Rakshata are still alive. Yay for those people who are willing to lend Zero a hand. Sayoko is there, too, which is fab!

And I think I have an idea what Rolo's Geass is. Or maybe not.

How come it seems like the emperor can still turn off his Geass, even when he has it in both eyes? And why do the others not remember that Lelouch has a sister Nunnally and not a brother Rolo? Surely it would have been improbable for the emperor to, well, have mass-Geassed everyone - including Shirley, since he couldn't have known that she knew about Lelouch, too, right?

Oh well. I guess those will be answered in the next turns.

At least it's established that Lelouch and Suzaku are both crap shot. XD

Is it me or does Lelouch's laugh remind me of Light's from Death Note? Hell yeah.

The beginning felt oddly like an alternate universe, especially with Lelouch having a brother Rolo. Whatever happened to Nunnally? :O Nonetheless, I really can't express how happy I am just by seeing Lelouch alive and smiling and all. I knew he couldn't have died in the last season, but still, I had to cheer for him as I watched the turn.

I love how they easily picked up from the conclusion of the first season and how Lelouch regains his memories quickly. C.C. was awesome, and I love how she and Lelouch see each other again after one year in their timeline. I also like how the first turn mirrored the first stage of the first season; the parallelism worked well, like it's reminding the audience how exactly Code Geass started.

Rolo has me curious; so he is working for the Emperor? And, I haaate Suzaku more than I can say. Will he really never die in the series? That should be so unfortunate. Hmp.
