| I really hate Nina with a passion and hope she dies in a fire. Seriously, I thought her masturbating to a picture of Euphemia was weird enough, but she rewrites the definition of crazy every time she appears on screen. I was once an avid Lulu x C.C. fan, but now I think it would be more appropriate if he ended up with Kallen. With C.C. it seems too business like, but with Kallen, it's an innocent relationship that has developed over time, gone through hardships and is now coming to fruition. Overall good episode, didn't expect Zero to take the Princess hostage, in fact it seems a little too extreme and will most likely only alienate the Chinese even further, but we'll see where things go from here. |

| ROFLMAO @ all the chess nerds popping up. "THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PLAY CHESS!" lmao, no shit! Were they supposed to spend the entire episode (oh, and the next) to show how an actual chess game would play out? Anyway, fanboy whining aside (you guys should seriously start to check yourselves, the show's actually increasing in quality but you may be blinded by the misfires of the first few eps and the amazingly quickly created nostalgia you have from R1 to see it) this was an interesting episode. I'd been wondering how Lelouch was going to take Britannia on in a real war when he was still arguing over a measly strip of land like Japan. (Before you say anything, realize that California's bigger than Japan. Compared to a kingdom that's taken over one-third of the planet, that's really NOTHING.) Now I see. If he can take control of China, he'll finally have a decent amount of power and we can kick this war off proper. (I'm kinda wondering what everyone else was looking for...him to finally win Japan in the last two episodes and then a deus ex machina in the last ten minutes for the rest of the world? :P) Anyhow, his game is quite obvious, but I guess this will give Suzaku something to get pissed about...as if anyone cares. Random extra notes: - C.C. uses tobasco sauce on pizza? She really is weird. - Fanservice pissing uptight/prudish fanboys off = massive laughs for me :D - The Empress' voice was really annoying at the end - Nina is, like other posters have said, still a racist bitch. Can we please get rid of her? - Orange! I KNEW I'd see that bastard again. Ever since I saw him in the opening, I've been waiting on his reappearance. His last loss was way too anticlimactic. Oh well. I wonder what V.V. is doing. I wonder if Charles knows about it or if he's got his own motives. If that's the case Charles and Orange might end up fighting and Lelouch will just pick off the winner. - Fanboys looking for "realism" in a world that already not only showed off super-robots Lancelot and Gawain in last season, but also displayed the existence of immortals and magic powers that allow you to control people, read minds, etc. etc...are retarded. That is all. :D |

     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Past 3 days me and my friends has been going "Oya, Soukai?" and "Zenryoku de" So yeah. |
| Code Geass: The Kiddy Molestation of Lelouch I didn't know why Lelouch didn't hook up with Karen or Sherry but now I know why. He likes them young. |
| Nice ep. Sunrise needs to learn how to play chess. What they did is worse than fanservice. I myself am going to by a bag full of oranges next week. Series still awsome. btw I don't know about you guys, but I see Nina's behaviour as expected. Even given that she's a lesbian, think about it! Euphemia was Nina's "one true love", the Zero comes and kills her, right when Euphemia was about to offer peace to him. You can't argue that her death was Lelouch's fault. IMO, Nina has every right in the world to go batshit crazy when Zero is near. |

| Maybe so, but it's annoying and nobody wants to see it. She should just die and let us live our lives. |

Dozer said: Nice ep. Sunrise needs to learn how to play chess. What they did is worse than fanservice. ROFL. "OMG fanservice!!!" I have yet to see the big deal and why some people seem to be allergic to a pair of panties or a skimpy outfit or whatever. I don't know about you guys, but I see Nina's behaviour as expected.

You can't argue that her death was Lelouch's fault. IMO, Nina has every right in the world to go batshit crazy when Zero is near. Its not Nina's hatred of Zero that makes people dislike her...well, mostly. Its the fact that she's a crazy racist bitch. Started out as seemingly simple ignorance back in The Order of the Black Knights ("But...you're just an eleven" or whatever), but its seemingly gotten much, much worse since then. (As if an Eleven could be MY friend!") Which means two things: A.) No matter how intellectually smart you are, you can still be morally bankrupt. B.) She says she was in love with Euphemia, but it wasn't love, it was really idolizing her, as she never understood what Euphemia gave her life trying to do. Oh well. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| yeah, it's like...she's a fangirl, with craziness amped to, forget eleven, it's cranked to OVER 9000 And yeah, we could do away with public display of racism, but eh...she's just being her, that is, being a quintessential Britannian. That however, undoes what her affection really is. Euphemia loves the Japanese and wants an equal world. Her? She'd nuke her own school if it means killing Zero... |
| Too bad the nuke didn't work. What they should do now is to bring that girl Lelouch geass'd in S1 to draw markings on the wall in the school :D |
infinite_zero said: Too bad the nuke didn't work. She's working on it now... |
| Argh,Euphy's the last thing we need -_- Nina goes crazy again just when I thought she'll be a fine and reserved young lady...nah. Of course she'll act like a bitch,people don't change. But yeah,I agree she has every right to hate Zero,after all it's his fault that Euphy died and made such a grandiose massacre before that. Yay for chess! Lelouch: "If I win I'd like you to give me lord Kururugi " Suzaku's becoming more of an inanimate object by the minute! lmao |

| HAHA C.C. wins so much ordering a shrimp pizza >_< HOW THE HELL DOES SHE GET PIZZA HUT DELIVERED TO AN ICE BURG EN ROUTE TO CHINA?!?! [/caps] And why cant kallen fall on me like that :( i dont remember Milly looking that voluptuous *_* One hell of a chess match :) In the future, 30year old men dating girls from high school, teachers marrying students, arranged marriages to 12 year old girls, and lolicon is acceptable again 9 PAGES of comments >_< wow |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
Wasted_Life said: In the future arranged marriages to 12 year old girls Well I'm sure this was 'acceptable' in the past to begin with. Well, actually, its still happening today unfortunately, but anyway. Back to more important matters: I would gladly read a fanfiction where Nina is slapped violently nonstop. I dont need a story, I just want that scenario repeated until she's bloody jello. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| This is funny. |
 |
| This episode was cool, I got to see Lelouch's awesome chess skills. |

| It was okay for me. I guess because it didn't have any action. |
 |
| i hope zero really doesn't marry the Chinese princess because what would happen to shirley and Kallen and the little Japanese princess if you love any zeros from any manga or anime come join my club http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=9394 |
| sooo.... Good points: Character Development! Woo! Nice new characters Pace of storyline is fast - always good Bad points: OK, Kaguya Sumeragi really really annoys me for some reason, and seems like an unneccesary character. Get out of my beloved series you kid!! The story isn't as good as the first season...instead of well-thought out plots (mutiple ones which combined into one and kept you thinking) it seems dumified, with TONS of action instead. Well I don't mind action, but it doesn't seem unique anymore they even bent the rules of chess to add to more drama/tension? Ok, that's going to far and seems desperate~ |

| Nice to find out why Li(Xing-Ke or w/e..) is so loyal to the empress, and wow Nina is so mean how could she say that to Milly when she's so nice to her? Well I know she's screwed in the head but... :P Gino's awesome if he could end up with Kallen he'd even be more awesome haha. Wtf Orange keeps reappearing why can't he just die?! X_X |

iUltimatum said: ...that reminds me, I hate Nina. She's just... pathetic. Or she was in the last series.If anyone out there loves/likes that rascist bitch Nina, I'd love to hear from you. Well, she just proved to be the same moronic person she was in the last series. I hope (Read only if you're not offended easily --->) Why are children always laughing? It's like a generic wedding scene in Bollywood where young girls, the friends of the bride are giggling and running around poitnlessly. Chief of "In Vogue" lol One thing odd was someone said, "How rather young!" What about Empress Tianzi? O_o; lol WTF is Lelouch doing? Abducting Empress Tianzi? O_o; That new guy in the end didn't look so dangerous really... |
 |
| Xingke is a pretty cool guy. It's good that he wasn't shot, and I hope he won't. But coughing up blood doesn't look good. ;[ Oh my, Orange still lives. :D And **** you Nina. I thought I told you to kill yourself already? |
JawaeseDec 29, 2010 6:03 PM
| I feel like theres more to this plan... like he make TAKE the princess... and there will be some fighting for a little... but I feel like he'll secretly try to negotiate with Xing-ke and form an alliance. He'd be a GREAT alliance. Either way... lulu ftw! And fuck you nina. you dumb bitch. |
  |
| NINA IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING?!??!?!? LETS KILL HER ASS!!! -___- I could never stand those physco characters in anime.. LIKE SHES FUCKNG CRAZY!!! And Zero, dont kill that cute little girl! D; |
| Something about Li Xingke reminds me of Chrono from Chrno Crusade. |
| God damn Nina.. worst girl in the show. TABLETABLETABLETABLETABLETABLETABLE |
 |
| Seriously Nina, go find yourself a table and calm down. I also love how Jeremiah's eyepiece is orange, as though he's embracing his identity as Orange-kun. Now, concerning that chess match -- I think most people here are misunderstanding its conclusion. Zero and Schneizel had both resigned themselves to a draw, recognizing that a threefold repetition would occur if they continued as is. Zero: "Now what? You cannot advance any farther?" Schneizel: "At this rate, we'll fall into a threefold repetition." Zero: "I don't like it myself, but perhaps this is a draw." Analyzing the chess game itself, and not the politics behind the chess game, both Schneizel and Zero recognized that they were about to fall into a loop and would draw each other. The game was over at that point: Zero wouldn't get Suzaku, and Schneizel wouldn't get to see Zero unmasked. When Schneizel proceeded to say, "not at all," he was then analyzing the politics behind the chess game, realizing he could spin the current board state to his "advantage" by putting Zero in a lose-lose situation (his statement, "don't underestimate the White King," was politically loaded in a very obvious way). Zero had three options: 1) capture the King, 2) make a move that doesn't capture the King, and 3) don't make a move at all. Lelouch rules out the first option himself: "To take his invitation would mean that I've surrendered to him. I will not allow myself to be humiliated here." The third option would've made Zero look like a fool who had weaseled his way out of a tricky situation. All that was left was the second option, to retreat with his own king -- but Schneizel managed to spin that against Zero, too, with the line, "His Imperial Majesty would have taken the piece without hesitation. I think I have a better understanding of the kind of person you are, now." Schneizel's ploy had nothing to do with chess, and it's actually even easier to understand the crowd's reactions with that in mind: Kanon: "If Zero advances his piece..." Kallen: "...Schneizel's..." Suzaku: "...king will be taken." Odysseus: "He's playing around too much." Kaguya: "Does he intend to lose?" Kanon, Kallen, and Suzaku get it. They fully understand the politics of the situation. Odysseus may or may not get it -- I got the impression from this episode that he's a bit dense and clearly a throwaway from the royal family if he's being married into the Chinese Federation to begin with. He understands that the chess game has finished, but may not understand the deeper implications of Schneizel's move, thinking that he's just playing around. And then Kaguya thinks that the game is still going on, lol. She probably hasn't touched a chess piece in her life. The bottom line: Schneizel knows how to play chess. Lelouch knows how to play chess. Sunrise knows how to play chess (even if they've taken some liberties, like inconsistent board states and Lelouch using the king as an offensive piece before the endgame in every game he plays, which is beyond unorthodox). Sometimes you have to examine scenes more deeply. |

| -cc eats pizza, lulu is on Kallen- -Screams out "TABASCO"- best part hands down |
 |
| LelouchxKallen... my... my shipper heart is happy. That is all. |
| Holy shit! Orange never dies does he xD And god damn Zero's badass xD 5/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| Really good episode, Tianzi is adorable. Lelouch went too far in my opinion, I really wanted Xing-ke and her to visit the outside world together. |

| Orange-kun!? |
 |
| Am i the only one weirded out seeing a tall bearded man getting married to a little girl? I'm glad Lelouche stopped the marriage! I don't quite know how we went from playing chess to staging a coup, it happened really sudden. |
| He kidnapped that princess so he might be able to take the Chinese federation to war against Brittania |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| Lol that weird crazy bitch... that chess game sure was quite epic! A slow episode but a great episode in general especially for story development! Lol @ Loli marriage! |
