As expected some of the truth of Geass is revealed, although to a lot of us it’s probably not that much of a surprise what C.C.’s wish was. Other than that we got to see Suzaka struggling with his morality, Nunally asserting her authority as governor, and most importantly we finally learn something about C.C.’s past.

SPOILERS AHEAD (BE WARNED)!!

This scene was quite interesting, the laser beam power of the Geass refracting off a bunch of tiny mirrors. I have to give it to Lelouch, it is a truly genius move especially when you are personally trying to avoid eye contact with the individual in question. Of course we all knew this plan was an ultimate fail, No way the Emperor would die right there in the beginning.

In the previous episode I stated that if Suzaku uses refrain on Kallen, I would personally draw his death. Well it seems that Suzaku hasn’t fully fallen off his moral high ground just yet and refuses to become like Zero. This episode showed both Lelouch and Suzaku in a much brighter light than last episode, and they both showed empathy and resolve here in contrast to the dark nature of their actions in episode 14.

By now we’ve seen multiple stages of Charles’ life: from young to the old man in a wig. V.V. looks the same (Duh of course immortality) now as he did back then, except without the ridiculously long hair. And they made a promise to one another not to lie when they made their contract, which gives reason to some of the things Charles said last week.

Ah yes of course. The emperor survives Lelouch Geass. The reason being is that he now is just like C.C. and V.V.. Thats right the evil maniac is now an immortal. He has taken V.V.’s immortality in exchange for the loss of his own geass, which they call that taking their “code.”(Now I can see why the episode is called Code Geass, always wonder why the word code was in front of geass)

Ah yes the love story between Villetta and Ohgi continues. Here Villeta comes to “supposedly” kill Ohgi but then the Super ultra Ninja Maid shows up and attacks Villetta. Somehow in the midst of all the fighting when Ohgi defended Villetta and fell off the cliff. She just jumped in after him, showing signs of affection that she so desperately tried to suppress and deny. Ahhh….Love how interesting it is.

Most people saw this one coming from the very beginning, when I knew she was immortal, the first wish I thought she could have would be to die (A lot of immortals always wish to become mortal or die, Highlander anyone). It kind of flows naturally from being immortal and alone most of the time, and watching people you’ve grown close to die of old age or the frailties of human life.

What I didn’t predict was that the underlying truth of geass user and geass giver was for the user to become powerful enough to kill the giver and take their place in immortality. I just thought it was unique to C.C.’s contract, because V.V. said their contract was to slay the gods.

Ahh what is it mean to be alive?? Is just merely surviving and breathing considered to be alive or is there more to it? This type of question will ultimately have varying answers. Some can claim to be immortal would mean that you are always alive, yet at the same time without the fear of death, how do you know you are alive and not merely existing? Well….our friends C.C. and Lelouch did debate over this topic….

Lelouch really stood his ideological ground here, refusing to give into C.C.’s self-pity and depreciation of life. His entire purpose in gaining the power of geass was to continue living and create a world in which Nunally could live in happiness. To him, there is meaning in just existing and driving toward your goals. In the end, he isn’t willing to kill C.C. in order to gain power equal to Charles. He isn’t the cold-blooded pragmatist that Charles is, who is willing to do anything to secure what he wants.

A key note that everyone should keep in mind is that during the episode it is indicated that the Immortal can somehow force their immortality onto the geass user as indicated by something Lelouch said. Despite wanting to die, C.C. didn’t do this which may be an indicator to how much she truly feels for him.

Oh man the genius finally figures it out after 15 episodes! But for his defense, Lelouch made extra precuationary measures to make sure no one finds out, so you can’t blame this moron, much….. And then he gets owned by a blind and crippled girl, who can tell he was lying without even using her hand polygraph. Just by listening to him speak. Suzaka, all I can say to you is “Epic Failure!!”

What a crazy nun. She seems all kind and what not when she meets C.C. as a child. Even gives her the Geass ability to make people love her. But then….BLAAHHH she goes into her crazy mode and laughs as she pushes her immortality onto C.C.. It is interesting to note how the geass affected C.C., changing her from a desperate slave to a spoiled girl who is showered with attention. If you compare Lelouch to that, he has not had such a significant change in his personality. He has the same goals he always had even before the geass, and his attitude about them hasn’t changed.

And her prince comes to rescue her, I half expected for him to confess to her, but I liked this way better. It is interesting to note that he asks her why he didn’t force the immortality on him, as we’ve seen her become closer and closer to him as the series went on. To her, he has become more than just an accomplice, but someone who truly thanked her and appreciated what she had given him. For the second time this episode Lelouch stands his ground and refuses to give up, telling her once again that he will stay with her and asserting that he won’t let anything else be taken away from him

I truly love the way he looks and talks. Oh Emperor, you are such a cute villain. But too bad for him though as it seems nothing went according to his plan. He didn’t get C.C. immortality and Lelouch blew up his place. I wonder if a guy like him would ever get sick of the immortality he has gained….(What do you guys think?)

Something bad is going to come as a result of Nina inventing what is probably the Geass universe’s version of a nuke and giving it to Schniezel. I can just feel it, and its common sense that once you introduce a nuke….yeah shits gonna happen.

C.C. has apparently lost all her memories from when she got geass onward. This is potentially devastating for Lelouch, who with that has lost the one person closest to him who knows everything and whom he can confide in him. What this means is that Kallen needs to come back ASAP to comfort him ^_^. In the end though, this is perhaps a way to let C.C. live at the end of the series, because if she has really lost her powers (forehead Geass thing doesn’t seem to be there?) she could live a normal life with Lelouch. Although it would be nice if he could at least restore her memories before this is over.

I am glad that we finally got to learn of C.C. past. Things are starting to get real good, I cannot wait for the next episode.
