Such a beautiful timeslot. It mean's the sub is out by the time I wake up.

 

If things go as usual, a RAW will be out by say 6 AM EST time (mine). A subbed version will come out (by GG) within 6-12 hours after that.

Thats if things go right, if not we might have to wait for an eclipse release, which normally takes 24 hours.

So Sunday to Monday a subbed should be out. I havn't seen a RAW released yet, but it's too early for that anyway. Move boys move!

 

The RAW is out. So it will take ten to twelve hours for the subbed version to see the light of the day/darkness of the night (depending on your time zone).

 

Subs out, only it's slooooow. Torrent ratio is like 28:1500


Heres the episode (MU fast download yay )

Thanks dude. More to come when I'm finished with it.

Edit: Damn. The Chinese are going Benedict Arnold? That's kinda lame. Ah, well. Lelouch is about to pull some crazy shit on Rollo and go save some prisoners, at least.

 

Watched it. Overall the episode was good.

Spoiler

Rollo is one sick fuck. I liked the jab at Italian army during the Britanian invasion of EU.
And didn't liked the fact that EU Army got their ass kicked by Suzaku.

What can I say more?

Oh yes. I demand more of C.C.!

 

Overall I liked the episode. Lelouch being.... Lelouch is incredibly entertaining to watch. But then the last seen with Rollo was like a kick in the balls. How can Lelouch win if Rollo can just do that everytime? On the other hand Rollo's charm-thingy on his phone obviously means something to him. I'm predicting Rollo is an orphan, raised since birth loyal to the Emperor. But he's feeling some sibling connections to Lelouch.

 

There are three possibilities here.

1-That one Chinese guy is working alone, meaning going against orders.

2-That Chinese guy has been given orders from a "higher up" than the geassed politician to destroy the knights.

3-The Chinese guy (I don't do names well) may be under Geass. The way he says it "The order of the black knights...Will be destroyed!" Sounds like a geassed effect.



Anyway, a more thoughtful idea of the episode:

A-We were hinted as a possible Geass evolution process because of the contact and C.C.'s words.

B-Rollo may have gotten his ability from C.C. He knows her too well.

C-C.C. is incredibly important to the empire for some reason. The emperor was transporting her in the start of the series, now he wants her back. Badly. Could it be that C.C. actually gave the emperor his ability(s)?

D-Rollo has some kind of feelings for Lelouch, whether they are brotherly, implanted by the emperor (or someone else, as I think may be the case), or something we just don't know about.

E-Nunnally is either dead, or important to the emperor. He wouldn't keep her alive as blackmail, so that only leaves the two solutions.

F-Next episode Rollo spares Lelouch's life, this may be the switch of sides I've been thinking would happen.

Overall I can't shake the feeling that C.C. is much more important than she's portrayed. She's either all at the center of this, or the one weaving the stage to begin with.

Well, anyone else have some idea's?

 

I was wondering if Rolo is Nunally? Would they have gender bender shit going on in this anime?

 

...Ouch.

The sad thing is, it's entirely possible. Would make a whole lotta sense.

 

I'm guessing no gender-bending. They'd have to do a lot of re-writing of Nunnally's personality to do it. Although...Nightmare of Nunnally does provide some basis for a Geass providing a different physical body. Ouch.

I heard that Xingke is planning a revolution in the Chinese Union. He could very well be acting outside of or against orders.

C.C. was always an enigma, and she appears to be even more of one now. I still like LelouchxC.C. though.

 

C.C. states that she didn't gave the Geass to the emperor. Code R was an experiment with imortality and C.C. was one of the test subjects (there are couple of fake poison gas tanks in the scientist truck during the evacuation from Narita). It probably has to do something with Thought/Mental/Soul Elevator and Sword of Akasha.

Or V.V.The little creep is as big enigma as C.C.

Nunnally is alive. Check her new wheelchair.

QFT.
Probably our perception of C.C. will change when we will learn her name. I hope that will be a real kick to the groin.

 

Ahh thanks for that clarification, I can't remember her saying it, but if it was in the earlier episodes I probably just forgot about it.

True, only reason I thought specifically about C.C. is because he seemed so intent on her during this episode. I suppose it could just be him being intent on any "witch" in the series.

That just makes me think she is very important to the emperor. Look at the way she's dressed, they wouldn't hold blackmail bait like that. The emperor even more, who's showed a personality of contempt for anyone he disagrees with.

Ahhh her name! You just reminded me of that episode, the whole "blaring out" of the name is obviously an important factor now that I think back on it.

 

The revelation of C.C. name is one of the two things that I am waiting to see in this show:
#1 - C.C. true name
#2 - who will use the first nuclear bomb which is builded by Nina "Table Loving" Einstein?

 

On a related note, Nina has officially gone off the deep end. I might have been willing to fogive her psychotic behavior at the end of R1, but after a year, she is still completely insane. Just look at her in episode 2 when Zero comes back.

C.C. is undoubtedly one of the most important characters, and background information about her will probably be very important to the story line. I hope she gets a cool name too.

 

Forgive me for this next long post, I just woke up, had a half-liter of sugar water, and have not been to the gym so I'm hyper.

On the subject of Nina:

Okay, so now we see a bit more information on her. I see some of her scientific finds going to work against Zero in the future. Probably not a nuclear bomb, but possibly improvements on the lancelot or or the mass-produced nightmare frames based off it.

Overall, she seems more stable, and less of a "DIE DIE DIE, I WILL YOU AND ME!" kind of person.


On V.V.

Okay, so we may have a lead here, looks like V.V. was the one who gave Rollo his power.

 

For some reason that is not what I picture when I hear the word "stable." She looks like a raving lunatic about to go on a murderous rampage, or at least blow something up in dramitc fashion.

 

Point to you..

 

Hmmm. That's interesting. This means in the now that the Black Knights may be losing their CU sanction and protection. Yes, I realize how ludicrous that sounds when you see Xingke running around kicking everyone's asses, but he'll be stopped. The Brittanian Army hanging out just beyond the gates won't be, though. If they catch wind, they (at least I know I would) will attack the embassy to "capture and dangerous Chinese Rebel." Then they can turn Xingke over to the CU and pretend it was in everybody's interest.

Side Note: I wonder if Rollo could use his Geass faster than a bullet.

 

Any one get the feeling that Rollo isn't exactly human? What I mean is he seems to be like a clone, or someone who was brought into existence for the express purpose of watching Lelouch and helping the Empire. The whole scene with the locket just gave me the feeling that he wants to cling to anything/anyone that cares for him. Thus the locket being a token of brotherly love, which if taken away shows that Lelouch doesn't care for him and that he really is just some experiment made to spy on Lelouch.
