Sakuya: For the meme?

Norland: ...Yes.

Wonder if Lelouch would intervene if he knew Charlesn't is back as the final boss.

Even if was Norland plan that Catherine kidnapping was very dubious.

Personal energy shield is a thing.

Seeing that the enemy is Charles, again. Sakuya will phone Lelouch and he will say "S**t princess, that's all you had to say."

It all leads back to Charles zi Britannia. With such a twist, no wonder Norland is such a callous person. Losing your purpose and having your next move be omnicide is such a crazy path to take.

Also Catherine's crazy flashback definitely explains how she became the way she is. Wild!

considering i watched Code Geass s1 and s2 14 years ago, I'm surprised I remember as much as I do and I'm ngl, I do think its kinda lame to just bring people back as the villains, but hey, nostalgia i guess

anyway, I need my 🥰🥰🥰 Kallen 🥰🥰🥰 cameo by at least the last episode

also again Leila my beloved, but god damn ♥♥♥♥Catherine♥♥♥♥ is so fine and new best girl although Sakuya may be my new 2nd ♥♥♥♥

Interesting plot twist, now it's Norland vs the rest of the world.

Besides, if Charlez is Sakuya's grandfather, that means Lelouch is her uncle 👀

Sakura and Catherine 's disagreements towards the meaning of the force showed how different they are there... Still, I want to see them reuniting again.

I always found Norland 's need to use a mask suspicious... Dude just wants to see the world break after all.

Oh, also. Rio mentioned.

The duel between Ash and Arnold not being in Knightmares was dumb.
The true identity of Narland is also dumb. Though I probably should have guessed it. Pretty much a carbon copy of SEED.

yo,, this epsiode is particulary pathetic, the scripting was trash and nothing make sense at all. Like i mentioned, the death, the talks, the fight, the characters, the objective, the goal, everything was meaningless af. Like a 2 years old kid talking to a recorder? what the heck? Sure, a random state just give up their scariest and best tech weapon and was able to mass produce enough units to conquere the world? what the heck??? Tesla is worth billions of dollars with hundreds and thousands of producing per day and still progressing are not even able to make that many car to fill up the world's demand, let alone the whole world. These *****ers in a few months just did just that? Everyone else with tech just suddenly forgot how to use them and couldn't deal with it? Sure!

Trash series and trash adaptation through and through ruining the original story line. The only things that they did to make sense was the fan service and convenience for cash grab.

I am pretty suprise the standard of viewers are so low nowadays, too many trash anime consumption i assumed as they actually enjoy trash plots that has no meaning... I wonder if they can even comprehen at least 1% of whats going on with AOT with their impeded brain.

The Ash vs Arnold sword fight scene was beautifully animated.

Really enjoyed seeing the Akito crew fighting. Wish Suzaku had been given a fight scene, but maybe that's still to come.

Does anyone recognize who the guy with the eye patch is? He has a scar/burn on his shoulder? He was shown the previous episode too. I think they showed him after the Akito and Suzaku scenes in this one. There were also two female characters (wearing red if I recall) fighting on top of a bridge that were given speaking lines while they were in their mechs. I think they also appeared last episode? Are these characters from some Code Geass related manga or movie that I missed?

So not only is Norland a Char clone, they even copied the Gundam Unicorn plotline by making him an actual clone of Charles vi Brittania. Honestly even if it is a copy it still plays out well in this so I don't mind. Had a good time overall.

Of course in the Middle East, they use pickup trucks against these Murder Roombas.
Good thing wZERO took their Alexanders to Japan.
Glad to see these ol'Knightmares back in action (and in 2D no less!).
Zero pilots a Mahoroba in Lancelot colors? A bit too on the nose, that it's now Suzaku behind the mask.
Damn, I got to check out Oz of the Reflection sometime.
When murder roombas are invading all continents, stopping these things is a higher priority than worrying about the optics of the Black Knights and UFN using military force. They don't know who sent them or if these things have individual pilots.
Norland had no qualms about killing Von Braun. His sending Vaughn as the envoy was intended as a death sentence; either the Loki would get her or she would get blamed for the Loki. She gets a chance to be judged by her actions.

WHAT IN THE NAME OF RAU LE CREUSET AND FULL FRONTAL IS SHIT??? A clone, no "vessel", of Charles Zi Britannia that wants to kill all humanity.

@poemofdevil The characters you're asking about are the MCs from the manga Oz the Reflection:

Eyepatch dude with burn scars: Orpheus Zevon

Female Knightmare pilot with blonde ponytail: Oldrin Zevon (they're siblings)

Female Knightmare pilot with red hair: Sokkia Serpa

Pretty girl with big sunhat: Marrybell Mel Britannia (another one of Charles's kids/Lelouch's half-sisters, and the royal family member Oldrin was originally pledged to protect)

I loved the animation. They dialed down the cgi, which made for a very pretty episode.

For half the episode, I enjoyed the ride. The second half had the half assed Sabathra backstory and Rau Le Creuset without any of the fun murder bits. Even if we assume that Norland paid or forced that guy to kidnap Sabathra, the execution was hilariously awful, to the point where the story would have been better if it didn't exist. Code Geass knows when to be over the top, and when to play it straight. A random guy picking up a little girl and running away should be handled more seriously.

Charles Zi Brittania isn't the same guy with Norio Wakamoto voicing him, and Sakuya has no reason to stop him other than him murdering tons of people.

If we are doing the traditional anime trope of a mercy killing, it helps the audience to have a backstory and connection with the villain. I think I will set my hopes low and hope that Norland can at least have one La Creuset freak out before he dies.

Ash won the way he did because the script writer couldn't come with an actual way for him to win in a mech battle. In and of itself, it is fairly disappointing. But also, the way Ash nonchalantly beat yet another Zaku character is also really funny. These Brittanians really did exist just to be monsters of the week.

I also like how Norland's knightmare frame continues the Code Geass sequel tradition of having mecha that look nothing like R1 and R2, in a positive way. His Knightmare might be the coolest drawn mecha in this whole show.

I can't see how we could've figured out Norland was a Charles clone without him saying it. I mean the purple eyes was the only hint but Sakura + Sakuya having the purple eyes kind of ruined the surprise for me I guess?

Also this brings into question whom Sakura seriously is....I mean, from episode 1 I had assumed she was twins with Sakuya but since they've never addressed each other as "sister" or anything remotely close....now that "cloning" is an actual "thing" in this universe I'm starting to think Sakura is possibly a clone?

UGH....I need that plot hole addressed and/or confirmed before the end please....


....also, on a slight tangent....I [personally] REALLY hope/wish there is another cameo by Lulu (and/or C.C.) considering that these mechs are attacking the "whole globe" they might've shown up where they are....I mean, they don't need to steal the show....but uh yeah sorry *Lulu stan*

Norland being Charles was literally the worst possible choice among all of them.

They REALLY saw the Star Wars postlogy and said "... Yes, we HAVE to do just like them!"
If only they had listened to the customers feedback. They would know that cloning the original main vilain for the new vilain is NOT a good choice, it's just laughable. It doesn't make any fuckin sense.


There's still two episodes left, MAYBE they can still end with a bang. But really, I lost all hope. There's no way they can bring a satisfying end when the vilain's motivation is a vague "I will destroy humanity".
Everything changes. Even the happy and funny things eventually disappear. How can I still enjoy this place then?

I almost died laughing with this episode, Norland is basically like Full Frontal (Gundam Unicorn) and Iron Mask (Gundam F91) combined but somehow even a worse Char clone. This show is such a trainwreck and I'm here for it.

@Galletita Eh, the story is too straightforward, even with the plot twist involved, for that label to mean anything.

Norland isn't really Charles in anything other than genetics. Then again, a clone becoming mass murderous due to having no purpose is also an old tale.

Okay I knew Norland was gonna be someone important or we already knew him but didn't exactly knew who it was gonna be. So it's Charles clone and he wants to destroy humanity but for what reason? Just two episodes left, I wonder who among them will survive. One of Sakuya or Sakura will prolly die and Catherine/Narah as well. Sakuya and Catherine being the highly likely ones but I hope not.

What a load of BS with Charles' clone. If he ever had the means to make a clone, he would have created a new body for his beloved Marianne. But it still doesn't make any sense if you remember Ragnarok; with a clone, it would seem like he didn't believe it would succeed.
