Code Geass R2 Ep 6 Speculation

Okay, I don’t normally really blog about shows’ plots and things like that, but some rumors are circulating about the contents of episode 6, and it reminded me of something I find very odd about episode 5. Definite spoilers for 5 follow, and possibly spoilers for 6, so hit the jump at your own risk.
So, a friend tells me that the word on 2ch is that in the next episode, we’ll learn that Nunally is engaged to Suzaku and Prince Schneizel is engaged to the heretofore un-met Empress of China.
I don’t know whether any of that’s true (although…Suzaku? And MY Nunally? YARRDEATHANDBADTHINGS!), but it reminded me…isn’t it really odd that, at the end of episode 5, it’s revealed that Nunally is going to act as governor of area 11?
Considering that, you know, all of the Britannians who knew Nunally are related to the school and have all had their memories altered so as not to remember her. Which means that no Britannians– i.e. the members of the ruling class –actually know Nunally. But based on the small glimpse of her we caught in the episode, she doesn’t seem to have had her memories altered; she still knows Lelouch is her brother and all that jazz. And even if all the Britannians thought she had a different past than she actually does…she doesn’t. So that’d make for some weird meetings.
Now, she might not get enough freedom from the Britannians to actually go to the school to try and visit her brother and friends, so maybe it won’t come up. (SPOILER! She actually has an aide assigned to her to prevent her from doing anything that would actually matter. Betcha twenty bucks Lelouch bangs the aide, btw…she looks like she needs it.)
But wouldn’t Milly or her parents– who aren’t part of the nobility but still seem pretty involved, and who would also have known Nunally prior to any memory alterations –bump into her at a formal function of some kind or another?
OOPS. I just realized the error in my logic: I tried to inject logic into Code Geass. MY BAD!
God, I love this show. ♥

You can’t actually inject logic into anime in general without the words “speculation” or an equivalent justification preceding it. Anime plays by it’s own rules and then ditches them when they no longer apply.

I hope it’s true cos it’d make things so much more interesting.

CC needs to eat the giant pizza.

Well it makes sense that nunnally would still have her memories and if she didn’t I would be mad, eye contact is nessessary for Geass use. I personally believe suzaku is going to fall in a bottomless pit, because hes turning into such a jerk he deserves it. As forhim being engaged to nunnally it might make sense in a getting back at leleuch sort of way, he knows (kinda) that Leleuch killed Euphie.

@yue: Eye contact is necessary for Lelouch’s Geass. It wasn’t necessary for Mao’s, and it doesn’t appear to be necessary for Rolo’s. (Also, so what if it DID need eye contact? Hello, she’s been with the Emperor for a year.)

All I hope is they get this “worldwide” thing going soon because it just seems like the first season so far “battleing for japan” we need world terrorism and world wide Black knights.

I knew Suzaku was a lolicon/siscon.. and if that engagement is true… it’s proof he needs to get offed. Preferably with a lance impaling his rectum, and then other organs…
And again, if that rumor is true, my predictions that Nunnally will die have come one step closer to truth…

The way I hope it plays out is…
Nunally really knows Lulu is Zero, she has from the beginning which would explain all those funny faces whenever Zero talkes on the radio or something. She gets killed because of her almost-Euphie ethics and Lulu is put into dispair wondering when he had done it all for, goes on a killing spree(Even more chaotic and insane than he is now) becomes ‘emporer’ of the world. Captures Suzaku but then Suzaku manages to kill Zero/Lulu. While Lulu/Zero is slipping into death, Lulu/Zero says something like ‘Thank goodness’ or laughes meniacally and says “Finnally” or something really cool like that.(Also somewhere C.C. Finally tells him that His mom’s soul is also in C.C.) Lastly Karen/Kallen(However your subs called her) or C.C kill Suzaku with the help of eachother, then Keran/Kellan kills herself(Or somehow dies, a cool alternative to suicide is she gets killed moments after suzaku is killed), and C.C is left alone in the world wandering while it fades to credits. Or another good ending for C.C would be that she took up where Zero left off and becomes ‘emperess’ of the world after Him. and It goes to a quick black before credits after she sits in a throne and gives orderes or something.
…I really like tradgedies. At least in stories. :p

“OOPS. I just realized the error in my logic: I tried to inject logic into Code Geass. MY BAD!”
i think code geass have logic…

I feel some awesome Suzaku hate right now. Episode 5 ended at a horrible spot– using Nunally for himelf, what a bastard. Boo Suzaku! Boo! If they are engaged I will be anxiously awaiting his death by Lulu for the rest of the season.

@perfidiouspal: As much as I dislike Suzaku, I wouldn’t be so quick to blame this on him– it stinks more of the Emperor’s sense of humor than Suzaku’s.

well …l hope lelouch saves nunnaly … then he can go on a killing spree… damn that suzaku i hate his guts …. “I want to change the world from within he says” he says …. makes me mad… and i hope nunnaly does die
May 9th, 2008 at 5:02 am
doesn’t die … my bad :D

Lulu will be sad if Suzaku died. Suzaku is his best friend,remember?And also,very close together with Nunally during their childhood.Unless if there’s by any chance if Suzaku can make Lulu go insane(real,insane) and couldn’t stand a chance of what Suzaku had been doing then perhaps,Lulu will like to kill Suzaku. There’s something fishy about this anime making it like,everybody got their own secret making it hard for them to share with. If you know what i mean…

@Wyld: Well, keep in mind that Suzaku had Lelouch’s Geass still– “LIVE!” (At least, as far as we know he still has it.)
May 9th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
The idea behind is that everything that happens is worked out by the emperor. Lulu is just plaing his role. What a sad story.

Didnt lulus thots of nanaly get erased… if so then if he expresses any thots about nanaly other than ones of bewilderment HE IS SCREWED >.<
Quite a Predicament Lulu, but nanaly may even appear as a advantage giving you leverage on suzaku seeing that nanaly will hate him if he gets rid of her loving brother
for now lulu is technically in power but nearly a stalemate
Impress me Clamp/Zero this ANIME IS ONE O TEH BEST!!!

the royal family have to fight for power to rule and i think the emperor planned this a lulus test or sommin like that
