Code Geass R2, episode 14

I completely take back what I said about feeling sorry for Rolo. During episode 14, I was highly disappointed when Lelouch missed his chance to explode him. Reason behind my anger is his over jealousy and how he lied to Lelouch about why he killed Shirley just to cover his own ass.

Shirley´s death was a big drawback in Suzaku and Lelouch´s friendship. Sure it´s pretty ruined already, but as episode 13 showed, Suzaku has started to forgive Lelouch. That moment they had at the roof, right after Shirley´s suicide attempt, was like back in the good old days when they didn´t hate each other. But now when Shirley´s dead, Suzaku of course blames Lelouch for killing her and once again, huge misunderstanding is created making their terms even worser than before. All this just because Rolo didn´t want Shirley to interfere his quality time with big brother.

To ease my anger, let´s talk about good points of this episode. The Order is down, Lulu is facing his nemesis, Cornelia had her revenge and V.V. is the most moé character in Geass. What can I say? Nina´s been too quiet lately and I´m searching replacement for her. V.V.´s brother complex and calm psychoness are too irresistible. Beats pouting Rolo as a brother any time. It is clear that Lelouch is son of the Emperor, they both have obsessive brother beside them, sending yaoi vibes around. Like father, like son, as they say…

  1. I think their friendship will heal. The new OP gives random hints at it, maybe sorta kinda, or at least it’s evident that Kallen will defect to the Rounds. But yeah, I think there will be a happy ending where everything is cleared up.

  2. lelangir: Considering that misunderstanding Suzaku passed on to Kallen in this episode, it´s likely that she will defect.
