Alright, from here on out there is really not much more i am able to add for the Episodes, we reached the Conclusion stage of the Anime and all pieces are in place now, all that is left is making them connect. So all that is left for me to do is recapping the pieces on the Board. Let's start with the side-story which has a big impact but isn't really relevant, F.L.E.I.J.A. Nina finally has her Oppenheimer moment, she has become death, the destroyer of worlds. Throughout the Show we see that Sakuradite is used in many ways, specifically to use energy for Electronics and Knightmares, like Suzakus Knightmare was the first that used a Sakuradite reactor to power it. We see that it can be used for Explosions when Lelouch detonated a bomb under the Ship of the Japanese Liberation Front to make it look like they commited Suicide (Which was the main reason Tohdo and his Gang joined up with the Black Knights, to continue the fight and not give up like their leaders) Nina, like many scientists only looked at Data, she didn't care what consequences might come up because it was more important to finish her research but now that she see's the Data of the many people she participated to kill she is overwhelmed by what she has become. Why is the war over now? I watched the Reaction last night so i don't really know what you specifically said but it was something like why is it over or why do the Black Knights don't fight or maybe it was the moment where they demanded Japan to be given back and Cornelia said something like they have no power anymore and you wondered about that, anyway the reason is simple, until know you can compare it like the Black Knights fought with Knifes against a rivaling gang but that gang pulled a Machinegun out of nowhere and with a single spray they killed a bunch of their mates and the Black Knights be like "wtf we only have knifes" it is not a fair fight anymore. Britannia has developed and used the Atom-Bomb there is literally no country with a weapon similiar anymore, no one can fight back anymore when Britannia just has to press a single button to kill 10 Million people in an instand. The war is over, britannia won. The Black Knights gave up by betraying Zero and were rewarded with Japan for their efforts and that is it. Prince Schneizel el Britannia decided to de-throne his father and become the Emperor himself, his assistant made it sound that this was always meant to be and using Suzaku he send an Assassin to kill Charles, not really complicated it is a simple old coup d'etat which basically means "a sudden overthrowing of a goverment by a small group." often by violent and illegal means. Charles on the other hand has different plans, he, like Schneizel said, doesn't care anymore about the World and it's people. What is he up to? We actually don't know besides that he had a vow with his older Brother to "Kill the Gods and destroy the world of lies to create a new one" very simililar to what Lelouch said from the very beginning "Destroying the world and create a new more gentle one." how he want to do it, we don't know, we only know that the Thought-elevator or Sword of Akasha is the means to it, but what it really means we don't know. Now to the more interesting part of the Story, Lelouch finaly did what everyone accuses him of doing, he uses his geass in the most efficient way possible, no conditional commands anymore, he literally commands them to follow all his words making everyone mindless slaves in the process. He struggled throughout the show with leaving his humanity behind and now he is finaly at the point of no return, he fully embraces his role in history and yet instead of taking over the world he is aiming for the Snakes head instead, still going after his father, not his brother, not the black knights that betrayed him, his father. He destroyed the entrance to the Thought-Elevator in the process making it unusable anymore so both of them wont be able to leave until the end of time and maybe even longer. But there are two things happenign at the same time, Suzaku is on it's way to Charles and we have Anya/Marianne and C.C coming to save "someone" we will see more about that in the next episode and get more informations about things specifically about Marianne. What they don't explain in the show and only hinted at throughout was C.C talking to Marianne (Mother of Lelouch and Nunnally, also known as a Ace Knightpare Pilot "The Flash") the whole time. We know from the Mao incident that C.C has a connection with the People she gave a Geass, so we know Marianne has a Geass and is somehow still alive, using Anya's Body, maybe that is somehow related but we can assume that Marianne was hiding somewhere in a place where she still could converse with C.C and we do know that the Thought-Elevator represents C.C's mind in a way. Alright finishing this up now, Lelouch used his Geass on as many people as possible staging the coup d'etat from inside Britannia which is why chaos broke out at the end and they started to fight against each other. The Black Knights are somewhat out of the game, Kaguya as representive of the from Zero founded "United Federation of Nations" is conducting a investigation because she noticed that something was going on with zeros "sudden death" and she does indeed thinks that he was betrayed by his own people so they get Japan back, Xin'qe is not related to Japan and represents China and his Empress which at the same time is a loyal friend of Kaguya so there is still conflict potential if they find out that they actually betrayed Zero, the CEO of the Black Knights. They are now all heading to the Island to investigate the sudden revolt inside of Britannias forces. That is it, all the pieces are down, now what is left is for you to enjoy the last episodes and see the conclusion of everything~

2024-12-11 17:16:20 +0000 UTCSo first I wanna question something from the end of last EP: We always see how Lulu is terrible with physical activities. He didn't even manage to shovel a trap on Kamine Island back when he was with Euphey. How did he bury Rolo?! (did he use the Knightmare maybe?) Second, for Gaz I wanna point out: The symbol on the Emperors hand, is "The Code". Meaning he now doesn't posses the Geass (in the eyes), but he now IS a "Immortal Witch" like C.C. (which is why he listed on how nothing works on him). Why Charles has his code on his hand (and most likely whoever he got the Code from) and not on the forehead like CC (and all those girls we saw in her flashbacks), who knows. Aesthetics? And to simply explain what the Emperor essentially is trying to do/doing, is prolly easiest done by comparing: Charles here and his actions are very very similar, to what "The dwarf in the flask" aka "Father" does at the end of FMA (I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was inspired by it). About Marianne: And now we see she somehow acts through Anya (while Anyas eye glow red, which shows she is under the influence of a Geass). We also learned that Marianne and CC seemingly have known each other for a long time and seem to be on a very friendly basis. Do you remember how CC randomly "talked to herself"...? Not sure if you only read it wrong, or also misunderstood due to it: But we now learned CCs wish (term of contract). U read it as "dying wish", but it's actually "her wish to die". She wants to be dead. As it is now, she is immortal, thus she cannot die no matter how often she is killed. We have seen how painfully both physically and mentally this is for her. So yes. She wants to die. It's her ultimate wish and the term of her contract. (Fun fact, on this fact the story i started writing inspired by it, is based on it. Immortality, the inability to die no matter what. Very fun to think about all the things) Suzaku has been super pushy this Episode. Do you think there is soooome form of plan or thought, or he just bulldozing fullforce, fed up with things how have been up till now, and we know he is more of the emotional type, in contrast to the brains person that Lulu is. Meanwhile Lulu, having nothing to lose, struting like a true king and eventually Locking himself up in this place called Ragnarok, with noway out. Do you think Lulu or the Emperor will die in there? and if so, will the other be able to get out somehow? What do you think about the fact, that we now have a seperate faction from the Emperor representing Britannia, the "Schneizel" faction. Did you see that coming? Or did you think that Schneizel in the end is also just a loyal pawn of the Emperor? If we keep up this pace, you will have a very tearful Xmas, as the final Episodes fall on that day. (ofc you will record it earlier i guess xd but ya know its funny to think about)
