#Black Knight Rolo

[rolorules]

Also by Muga.

My reason for posting this is Black Knight Rolo, not Bunny Lelouch, in case you were wondering.

[incorrect-codegeass]

Rolo: Got asked about my experience with gender and sexuality yesterday, and in my depression-induced psychosis I yelled out, "They both want me dead!".

Rolo: And anyway, that's how I came out as nonbinary aroace to a religious cult.

Why does Shirley have to die?

One of the most frequent comments I found while browsing when I entered this fandom and it bothered me greatly was that Shirley's death was useless, which reflected a lack of understanding of the series and the character of Shirley and her relationship with Lelouch and Suzaku. So today I'll explain what the effects of Shirley's murder were.

Broadly speaking, Shirley's murder serves as a catalyst between the first and second half of the second season. Likewise, Shirley's sad murder resonates with the main theme of the series and influences the narrative arcs of Lelouch and Suzaku.

1. Shirley's death was what pushed Lelouch to change his plans for the Geass Cult. Instead of controlling the orphans who had been turned into Geass users, Lelouch decided to destroy the Geass Cult by decimating the children and scientists who participated in the project by organizing a clandestine operation with the Black Knights.

1.1. This operation will later become one of the reasons why the Black Knights will betray Lelouch. It's information that is leaked to Asahina, a member of the Four Holy Swords, and reaches through him Tohdoh, who, together with Ohgi, were the ones who convinced the rest of the Black Knights that they were angry with Zero for abandoning them in the middle of the takeove of the Tokyo Settlement. So the massacre of the Geass Cult influenced the betrayal of Tohdoh, one of the pillars in the Order of the Black Knights and most loyal to their leader.

1.2. Additionally, the Black Knights' attack on the Geass Cult resulted in the death of V.V. and attracted the Emperor who took the code from V.V. and then attempted to initiate the Ragnarök Connection in episode 15, but C.C. prevented this by sealing her code and suppressing her memories. Something that will influence Lelouch's isolation. Also, in the massacre of the Geass Cult, Lelouch captured Cornelia, which will be important in the future.

2. Shirley's death was what pushed Suzaku over the edge and motivated him to coerce Kallen through refrain to get confirmation that Zero was behind her murder. About to do so, Suzaku realized that he was about to become completely corrupted and begins to rethink his beliefs and methods for the first time. It's because of this incident with Kallen that Suzaku is willing to reunite with Lelouch and team up with him, even if it means abandoning Britannia. But, well, Schneizel ambushes the two former friends and makes Lelouch believe that Suzaku betrayed him once again. Consequently, Lelouch is determined to kill Suzaku in revenge, but it turns out badly due to the cursed order he gave him long ago and which causes the total annihilation of the Tokyo Settlement, something that will mark a turning point in Suzaku's narrative arc and It will also affect Lelouch...

3. Shirley's death was a turning point in Lelouch and Rolo's relationship. It was a relationship in which love and hate were quite balanced, but, after this event, Lelouch leaned towards hate. I'll talk more about this point in my analysis of Rolo's motivations for killing Shirley, so that's all I'll say for now. I'll add that, if Mao made him realize that Geass can corrupt the user and Euphemia's death made Lelouch realize that Geass is an evil power, Shirley's death made Lelouch realize that Geass will condemn him to isolation (damn, Lelouch saw a lot of red flags and kept going; I don't know whether to call it idiocy or determination). At the same time, he realized how terrible the power of Geass is in the hands of a child and became terrified that all Geass users were like Rolo, which is why he thinks it is better to eradicate the Geass Cult and not control them.

4. Shirley's death is linked to the main theme of the series (will) and, in a certain way, influenced the epiphany that Lelouch will have in the final stretch of the series. Rolo didn't get into a vehicle, he drove to Shirley's house and got out to shoot her. No. Shirley was murdered, following her will. She abandoned the security force that was guarding her because she wanted to offer her help to Lelouch. To paraphrase Lelouch's words to Schneizel in the series' penultimate episode, people are actively seeking happiness, and for Shirley, her happiness was with Lelouch. Even though Lelouch erases her memory over and over again to protect her, Shirley will always do what her will dictates, and that includes falling in love with him again. Shirley's firm resolve, added to that of other characters, is what teaches Lelouch to value human beings' will and constant pursuit of happiness.

In short, Shirley's death is what leads to most of the events that occur in the second part of R2. Without that, the Zero Requiem doesn't even take place. For all this, it is ridiculous that the alternate universe continues with the same events as the canonical universe, but, well, nothing makes sense in the alternate universe (hence it is complete garbage and I'll maintain this statement until the last day of my existence.)

Having said that. If anyone still wants to be angry about Shirley's death, they have to change their focus on her. The point isn't that Shirley's murder adds nothing to the plot (we already saw that it isn't true); but this seems to show that Shirley is a "woman in refrigerator." This is a term coined by Gail Simone to refer to female characters who face disproportionate harm, which will serve as a plot device to motivate male characters. The term was used to talk about situations in Western comics, but can be extrapolated to other media. Is Shirley a "woman in refrigerator"? I would say yes, but I think that term should be applied when there are female characters who have great potential and the authors don't exploit it, but rather prefer to reduce them to a motivation for the current male hero. And Shirley is not Kallen (an action heroine and Knightmare pilot, whose talent and skill can change the flow of a battle), she is not C.C. (an Immortal Witch who knows all the secrets of Geass and is clandestinely working with our protagonist's worst enemy for her own interests), she is not Euphemia (a princess in the Holy Empire of Britannia who can challenge the status quo and change the system from the inside), she is not Nina (a prodigy in science, capable of creating a weapon of mass destruction). She's only Shirley. An innocent civilian trapped in a bloody war. She cannot contribute more than she can, so let's not ask for pears from the elm.

I really wanted to write this analysis! I just removed a thorn that was stuck. I feel better.

HERE IS WHY SHIRLULU IS LEGITIMATE SHIP -PART 5

Warning: I'm not a writer and English is not my native language. So kindly bare it or DM me about it. Criticism is welcomed not hate.

Continuation

LELOUCH BEING BOYFRIEND CODED -

4. Lelouch's fear of losing Shirley -

Lelouch, as a child, was abandoned by his homeland and family after a traumatic event (mom's death), leaving him to take care of himself and his disabled sister.

This is why his fear of losing people or getting abandoned is greater and is one of the reasons why he always on guard and is detached.

He never revealed anything to Shirley , Fearing she might hate him and change her behavior.

Instances

R1 Stage 03

Lelouch doesn't want his friends to know about him being the prince of England because he fears that they might abandon him and would distance themselves from him because he belongs to the royal family, and they might also hate him for keeping it a secret all these years

R1 Stage 12

Lelouch's famous bathroom angst

This guy killed his half brother (Clovis) without battling an eyelid, but got very disturbed knowing he was the reason for her father's death.

The reason behind his angst; if she came to know the truth, she would hate him, and if he hid it, he would have to live with burden, and their relationship wouldn't be the same anymore.

PS - In epi 13 outro - he was so disturbed that he considered leaving the stage (as zero) and return to his normal student life.

R1 stage 15

Lelouch's realization of his feelings for Shirley came after erasing her memory. The sense of loss turned into frustration, and he lashed out at CC.

P.S - In the series, Lelouch has lost his cool and lashed out only when it comes to Shirley or Nunnally. Frankly, when I watched CG for the first time, I didn't expect him to lash out, especially at CC (I thought he would be sad for a while and move on).

R2 stage 13

Another trauma for Lelouch, even after being so protective of her, he lost her at the end , in a unexpected and tragic way.

Lelouch used his geass over and over in hope and desperation. A lot of his human side is shown when it comes to Shirley. 

He couldn't utter a word, let alone his feelings, because he was struggling to come to terms with Shirley dying. He was shocked when she closes her eyes and even shakes her desperately, hoping for signs of life in her. Reality of death sinks into his mind making him scream in agony.

R2 Stage 15

Lelouch had gone rogue after her death. It's like a dam broke, and there is nothing holding back Lelouch.

He originally planned to use the Geass order, but because of Shirley's death, they had to face the brunt of his emotions (sadness and hatred).

 He destroyed a phenomenon called Geass because it was reason for Shirley's death and that was the "least" he could do for her.

He wanted to destroy Britannia for his mother's murder and Nunnally's condition, and he destroyed Geass order for Shirley.

He did not destory the Geass order because he felt "grateful" for Shirley's friendship, nor his "guilt" about her death. He destroyed it because he is someone who takes revenge for his loved ones. 

I have seen him laugh like a maniac, but this sinister look from Lelouch is rare.

Imo Lelouch is grateful to Rolo for sacrificing himsel to save his life. (despite knowing he hated him), but he never forgave Rolo for killing Shirley; that's why he never mourned over him like he did with other characters.

Clovis and Rolo death had the least impact on him.

R2 stage 15

He stopped going to Ashford after Shirley's death and became full-time Zero. He doesn't care about his identity being exposed.

It seems like Ashford without Shirley is meaningless to him, and he also didn't want his other friends to die a tragic death (Rolo's psychotic jealousy).

R2 Stage 03

This reckless move on destroying Geass order and revealing himself as Zero made the emperor use Nunnally, as Trump card, and the Black Knights started doubting him after the massacre. All events led to Zero Requiem.

Shirley's death initiated the path of Zero requiem.

Lelouch's original plan was to quietly defeat Britannia and bring peace to the world (without revealing his identity). He wanted to live in a peaceful world with Shirley. (There is a short story about Lelouch's ideal world that he dreamed of).

P.S - This is such a classic one used by a male anime protagonist for his girl ( for ignoring them due to important stuff).

In  Code Geass series, both Lelouch and Shirley are dead, and I hope they are reborn again and live in the peaceful world that Lelouch created.

Honestly, I haven't watched the movies, and I don't feel like watching (the clips didn't help), and I really don't understand why they kept Shirley alive (shove her in the corner) and why did  they make Shirlulu date if Cclulu was the end game.

Lost Stories 2024 New Year's Event

I got 2024 New Year's Lelouch because, after watching the event, I suspected he might mention Rolo in his lines, and he does indeed! Lelouch: Tomorrow, Nunnally, Rolo, and I are planning to spend time together as siblings, just the three of us. It feels like a dream to be able to spend time peacefully like this... As you might guess, the story of the New Year's event (not voiced, so I'll post screenshots from here on) is in fact a dream that Mario/Maya has, where, among other things, Nunnally and Rolo are both siblings to Lelouch. Although Mario/Maya's brain didn't fix Rolo's antagonistic attitude towards him/her...

Rolo (to Mario): You are inconveniencing others by standing in the middle of the path like this. How about being a little more considerate?

Nunnally: Oh, Rolo, come on, speaking like that again... I always tell you you shouldn't do that.

Rolo: But Nunnally, this guy is the one who... Like in every other instance where Rolo and Nunnally have interacted, they address each other without suffixes, so they seem to treat each other as equals rather than one of them clearly being the older sibling. Also, Rolo referred to Mario as "koitsu", which is openly disrespectful, especially since Mario is older... The reason Mario is standing there dumbfounded is that he still hasn't realized that he's dreaming. He is confused after seeing Britannians and the Black Knights working together, and also when he meets Rolo and Nunnally with one another:

Lelouch: Mm? They are my little sister and my little brother. Isn't it obvious for them to be together? Mario: Your little sister and little brother... I guess there's nothing wrong, right... Why did I think it was strange...? Sorry for saying something weird all of a sudden...

Nunnally: Fufu, you're an odd one, Mario-san. (TN: Uses my username rather than Mario)

Rolo: He was already odd before... Lelouch: Hahaha, you're being called out, Mario. Mario: Ahaha... You got me. Then Mario wants to understand what's going on with some new event at Ashford, but the bell indicates that they need to go to class.

Lelouch (to Mario): I'll explain later. Rolo, take Nunnally to the classroom.

Rolo: Yeah, got it, Brother. Let's go, Nunnally.

Nunnally: Yes, please, Rolo. Brother, Mario-san, see you later.

Lelouch: Yeah. See you later, you two. After this scene, the characters teach Mario about the event. It seems that there's going to be a competition to decide the future of Ashford Academy. And there are three teams, each with different members and intentions for the kind of school life Ashford Academy should promote: ・Suzaku's WHITE team (Suzaku, Nunnally, Savitri, Anya, Schnee): "Disciplined school life with a focus on morals" ・Kallen's CRIMSOM team (Kallen, Rivalz, Benio, Gino, Shirley): "Energetic school life with a focus on passion" ・Lelouch's BLACK team (Lelouch, Rolo, Ledo, Milly, Nina,): "A free school life with a focus on individuality"

They will play different games, and Mario will join a different team each round. The first round is a karuta game where you need to guess a country after hearing a hint. At first, it seems like Nunnally's team will win (but Kallen's, the team Mario is part of this round, does):

Rolo: They are strong, huh? Nunnally and the others.

Lelouch: As expected of my little sister. To think that she would remember all the kaminoku... (TN: A karuta term) The next game is hagoita doubles, which is more or less similar to badminton, and where Suzaku's physical strength makes his team win (Mario was also part of the winning team this time). Rolo has to make his snarky comment against Suzaku too:

Ledo: One more point and it will be match point. What could we do?

Rolo: There's no point in asking. Nothing can be done against that monster. So they apologize to Lelouch for losing, but he understands the situation:

Ledo: My apologies. We couldn't win against Lord Kururugi after all.

Rolo: Sorry, brother.

Lelouch: It can't be helped. Kallen is about the only one who could compete head to head against Suzaku. The next game is about flying kites, and Lelouch asks Mario, who is on his team now, to control the kite.

Lelouch: So I leave the 3rd event, High Altitude Kite Battle, to you.

Mario: But I'm lost… What even is that? The "High Altitude Something"…

Rolo: It's the High Altitude Kite Battle. You don't even know something like that?

Mario: I don't think you'd usually know, though... Milly and Ledo explain that the objective is to cut the opponent's kite string.

Mario: Ah, so it's fighting kites. (TN: "Kenkadako," which is an existing word, unlike the fancy term Lelouch used)

Rolo: No. It's High Altitude Kite Battle.

Mario: Why is Rolo so fixated on such a strange thing... A-anyway, in a nutshell, I have to win at the fighting kites, right? I think Rolo is being pedantic about the term just to go against Mario or maybe to defend the term Lelouch used. Maybe he's jealous because Lelouch entrusted the game to Mario? The dialogues don't point the reason out explicitly, though! By the way, it's mentioned that Milly drew the design of the kite, which is Zero's mask, and Rolo says "I also helped paint it".

Well, since Mario wins, there's yet another tiebreaker round which involves KMFs and where everyone ends up having to work together, until Mario wakes up from the dream. I don't think the rest of Rolo's lines are all that interesting, so I'll stop the translation here. You can probably find videos of the whole event if you search for its name: 三色志開幕！~新しい朝に願いを新たに~

As I mentioned last time, Turns 12&13 should arrive in a couple weeks, and I assume that, afterwards, together with Turns 14&15, it will be the moment to release a new Rolo alt with his plugsuit version (other characters have their plugsuit version as separate units too). Hope my sakuradite is enough for then...

Same Lancelot and Guren manga, Benio served under Kallen's zero squad, she contribute a lot at China Federation war with her new KMF. Savitri work under Lakhsata and friend of Benio, she's the one keep in check on Benio and Disel's KMF so yeah those three always had some small convo when meets.

After assault (genoside) at Geass Cult, witnessing the incident and having withdraw order from Kinoshita, Benio resolve wavered and want to talk about that incident to Savitri eventhough it should be a secret to others. They noticed by Rolo and almost get killed if Lelouch isn't come. So to save them (as he won't let Shirley incident happen again), he decided to make them forget all about Black Knight by putting geass on them

Status : Alive but can't remember anything being Black Knight member (Benio) and back to her loner Black Knight enginner (Savitri)

Sapphire

Original character from Lost Stories, leader of Blue Barons, groups who hunt Black Knight at chapter 1.5. As she failed capture Black Knight, she resigned herself from Blue Barons and work under her close friend, Guilford. She mostly appear anywhere Guilford there (as his personal mental support maybe lol) but after keep meets a mysterious knightmare at every war and kill anyone on sight (Kali), she focused on searching the pilot and found the culpit along with kidnapped Disel (that's Tokyo Settlement war time)

Status : alive and good, after saving Disel she's helping administration after Tokyo Settlement war.

Status : Same as Sapphire

Marrybell mel Britannia

Character from Oz the Reflection, leader of Glinda Knight, at chapter 2 she had little appearance and just an aftermath released from her geass. She appear before second Tokyo Settlement war with her knight, Oldrin and Glinda Knight member who want to leave her after things happened at area 24.

Oldrin

Marybell former knight, after depart from her, she and Glinda Knight joined under knight of nine Nonette. Her new Glinda Knight contribute in second Tokyo Settlement war by locating and destroy Gefjun distruber there.

Status : Alive, now joining forces with Nonette and other Glinda Knight as Schneizel forces

Disel PoV (include Claris, Kali, Anone)

As anyone read ENG version know, they're joined Black Knight at first only to become Britannian spy later. At chapter 2 part 1, without having any memories erase she cameback to Ashford academy only to be shocked seeing everything there changed. Even Lelouch live happily ever after (lol) with his fake brother Rolo. Knowing something weird, they followed Lelouch and Rolo to Babel Tower, only to meet CC and Kallen & Lelouch memories comeback along with Disel knowing a snipet of geass (they never know it's geass, just a supernatural power)

PS : after that Disel never comeback there, not even once for now...

Knowing Disel still work at army, Lelouch asked them to become his spy again which is the result of Black Knight member jail release a success.

During attack on Nunnally, Disel join the battle as Britannian forces along with Schee Red. At middle of war, usual mysterious knightmare suddenly appear and battling against Disel again which resulting them being MIA.

Using MIA status, they gathered info about that mysterious knightmare and found out it's their aunt, Kali. Hearing her reasons and found out they had a sister yups in the end it's yandere sisterly things lol, they comeback as Black Knight member again to get revenge on her and Britania. They contribute at Chinese Federation war with new knightmare along with Benio.

Disel new knightmare

It's kinda scary how flat Disel emotion here, they didn't show any emotion when hearing Darlton and Shirley died. Darlton basically their senior while they feels pretty close with Shirley (if I remember they just said "oh I see..." wow bro lol)

The mysterious knightmare appear again at Geass Cult war, resulting Disel kidnapped by her. In there, they found their mother body (yups Kali preserve her body...) and know she would do the same to them. So it's Disel vs Kali again with Sapphire Claudio help resulting Kali get arrested and Disel brought to infirmary.

Claris meet them and shocked knowing they still alive. Those two explain their current situation (FLEIJA war and Kali) and tell her that they need to help their friend (Lelouch). Bid their farewell, Claris gave her team knightmare creation Pendulum to her.

Disel help Lelouch Rolo running away from Black Knight after Zero reveal.

After get arrested, unknown how Kali run away and killed 50 military men + Claris

While Lelouch come across with Charles, Disel fight Bismarck Monica on knightmare battle and ended with a stalemate.

When Charles activate geass all over the world, Disel connected with C's world and meet Anone for first time. They noted that Anone looks similar with Hina (girl from Shinjuku Ghetto) and Rina (Disel's sister). She said only using a face they want to see and that place are for not living one which shocked them knowing Rina already gone.

now onto scary part Anone said their family killed by Kali and eat Vaniella (their mother) and Rina's heart yeah literally. So Disel saw the actual scene get traumatized and forgot all about it (really, can't blame them for this...)

It turn out Disel having a survivor guilt and keep blaming themself. So Anone, having Hina Rina memories tells them "it's okay, we're happy having you before dying so don't blame yourself" and finally having a peace

Knowing all that, they decide to make world a better tomorrow for anyone and join forces with Emperor Lelouch.

Right after Disel make their exit from C's world, there's indication Claris could made her appearance on Anone but she refuse (which is indication that she's already dead...)

Not long after Lelouch killed Charles, Disel know Claris situation and vow to get their revenge on Kali. They even mentioned that they will abandon their post if she came searching them.

There's so many small event after emperor Lelouch ascend to before KoR assault. One of them is Suzaku using white Vincent to clean up some rebels since Albion still not done at that time.

Then KoR members became Schneizel subordinate, Nonette is tasked to guard him which explain her group isn't there on KoR battle with Suzaku. Nonette and Glinda knight are stuck between can't agreeing with the way Lelouch dethrone Charles and Schneizel genocide war with fleija so Glinda knight kinda slack off like letting Sayoko get away (lol)

Marybell join Lelouch Britannian forces willingly. Her new costume kinda scary to my liking (royal family + soldier costume) and yeah she still alive for now

And (I'm suprise) Marika is still alive. She's one of four Bradley's knight which swiftly killed by Kallen on Tokyo settlement battle. Now she's joining Nonette's Glinda Knight (if you can't remember her, she's the only one knight getting a lewd card for this game lol)

(From here it's chapter 14, just release today)

Oldrin and Glinda Knight save Nunnally and Sayoko from FLEIJA explosion and know FLEIJA threat firsthandly which is the reason they didn't really agreeing on Schneizel ways

Kali join Area 11 last battle as standalone forces

Status : Alive and join Lelouch Britania forces as newest Disel's industry CEO (Disel), Dead (Claris), Alive and joined Area 11 battle as stand alone forces (Kali)

I'll keep update till finish here~

PS : If anyone asked me how I, someone live outside Japan know Oz Reflection and Lancelot Guren manga stories, the answer is Code Geass Wiki (lol) ! They're pretty up to date, even they're already covering some part of lost stories and roze anime too~

I kinda like Roze anime but the conclusion feels too forced to me. Too bad they killed Ash, that scene indirectly tells there's something can't be avoided even with "live" geass but it doesn't feels right to compare Ash with Suzaku. In first place their KMF spec already different (lol)

And there's info ENG version will close for good at Aug 28 so yeah my bad on them. ENG players won't taste damocles KMF 42 cost~

(And me too since I don't read any event stories on JP)

And info just enter today (9/10) Roze gonna have their own event story. With Akito and Roze, can I hope for Lelouch ressurection movie ? (lol)

Caaaan I be cheeky and go Trick Trick Treat (to the beat of Duck Duck Goose) and As Many De Rolos As You Feel Like Including?

Not sure if I quite pulled that off, but that'll be your call to make ;3

--

“Ow! Fuck! What the hell - stop fucking - ow - Ollie!!”

“Language,” Vesper chides, poking at Whitney’s ankles with her cane without breaking her stride. “And stop fucking pulling her hair, Oliver.”

“You swore too! I’m gonna tell mum!” Littlest Cassandra - a knight this year - giggles, tidying Whitney’s fairy pigtails.

Oliver sulks, jack-o-lantern basket swinging as he stomps a few paces ahead. There’s chatter as the three slightly more well behaved kids chatter, discussing classmates’ costumes and candy hauls and optimal routes, before Oliver eventually can’t resist and slows to join them.

Julius is perfectly content to let his sister handle the siblings. He and Vesper are definitely too old for trick-or-treating, but once the littles are tuckered out, they can drop them on the doorstep and take off to the nearest Halloween rager. Not like he hasn’t been pregaming it - his jack-o-lantern has a smile of brown glass and slooshes like it’s about to vomit. 

Oh, he could be there now - already - swimming in a sea of sexy nurses and sexy lady CEOs and sexy sexy sexy, while Vesper and her friends binged old Halloween classics. If not for his wonderful middle brother.

Percival ‘too old for Halloween’ de Rolo got to skip out on this delight of being an older sibling by citing a project due tomorrow in his morning class. For the record, the nerd never leaves anything to the last minute. It was deliberate, Julius would swear on it.

Vesper thwacks his ankle. Julius glances up - it didn’t hurt thanks to the fireman boots - to see her frowning. 

“Where are we?”

A quick glance at the streetsigns answers him - though understandable Vesper can’t read them with her black shades. It’s getting awfully dark, and more lamps are unlit than not for the Halloween atmosphere. “Academy Lane? The Soltryce is at the one end. Dad has a lot of friends that live here.”

It’s definitely the sort of neighborhood Julius is familiar with - gated snaking driveways, walls mimicking castle architecture, the self-importance of the nouveau-riche. 

Nothing can beat an actual fucking castle, though.

Vesper frowns, adjusts her tie. “Mhm. I don’t see many pumpkins out. We should turn back.”

“One more and we’ll get to the car,” Julius promises. Cass is flagging anyways, not helped by all that aluminum platemail. She’ll be begging for bedtime soon. 

But there is a pumpkin on this porch - two, actually, a horribly ugly pair - so Julius ducks past the toothy open gate and keeps an eye on the hooligans. At least they’re having fun.

Never would he admit it, but Vesper has a bit of a point. It’s creepy - the tamed and trimmed trees look like manicured hands, backlit by faint light from the road and sick pale gold from the mansion. Despite how well-kept the place is, it’s crawling with vines. Trying to pick a late-season flower from one is a mistake - Vesper turns when he yelps.

“Just a thorn,” says Julius. When she’s not looking he presses his thumb to his lips, to swipe off the blood.

He and Vesper pause two-thirds the way to the house just as Cass reaches the front steps, Ludwig hushing the twins so she can catch up and be ready to yell with them. Whitney insists on ringing the bell - echoed down the drive, the sound makes Julius shiver. It’s getting cold.

The door swings open, delighted to see them, and the children just as delighted.

“Trick or treat!” hollers the host of little monsters. Everything looks less scary by the light: Cass is a little knight, and the imposing owners of the home are familiar faces with candy at hand.

“Oh, Lady Briarwood!” Julius calls, relieved. “What a surprise!” 

Her smile glows just as the jack-o-lantern’s does. “What a pleasant surprise indeed.”

🎃Trick or Treat! Send me an ask and you'll get a trick (angst) or treat (fluff) ficlet in return! 🎃

The true source of the conflicts in Code Geass. Spoiler Warning!

The source of most, if not all, of the central conflicts in Code Geass come from bad parents, with particular emphasis on bad fathers. alicent-vi-britannia goes into immense detail on this in this post: https://www.tumblr.com/alicent-vi-britannia/702115702749970432/lelouch-and-suzakus-childhood-traumas-explained?source=share

I'll try to summarize it as best as I can: Genbu Kururugi, Suzaku's father, was likely a strict father who never bothered to assure Suzaku that he didn't need to be perfect, that he was only human, and that he would always need to grow as a person. That, and his pride in fighting Britannia, despite knowing he couldn't win, mattered more to him than the people he dedicated himself to protecting and serving. This is the impetus for Suzaku killing his father, and the source of a lot of his trauma. The reason Suzaku is so obsessed with changing Britannia from within, no matter how impractical it seems to Lelouch and those of us who side with Lelouch, comes from this traumatic experience. If Suzaku can accomplish this task, he can prove himself, if not perfect, then at least better than his father. Every time his idealism is questioned or brutally crushed, he doubles down, because he's a prisoner of his own trauma and guilt.

The same can also be said of Lelouch. Just as Suzaku is obsessed with changing Britannia from within, Lelouch wants to watch Britannia burn. More than that, he wants to be the one who lights the match. In taking care of his little sister Nunnally, now blind and crippled, he can prove that a "weakling" like her has a place in the world as much as anyone else. And in creating a better world by dismantling the empire by force and war, he can simultaneously live up to the Britannian ideals of "All men are not created equal" by showing his will is stronger than the empire, therefore proving his vision of the world deserves to exist more than Britannia, and, metaphorically speaking, spit in his father's face. The paradox, however, is that, in order to achieve this, Lelouch makes himself a cold, calculated genius who closes his heart out of fear that if he opens himself up, he'll be hurt again. This behavior, as seen when he finally confronts Emperor Charles near the climax of the series, is similar to Charles' own, and in fact the impetus for the Ragnarok Connection plan. In trying to undo Emperor Charles and the empire, Lelouch makes himself behave a lot like his father, which isn't helped by his mental state when Euphemia and then Shirley die, then when the Black Knights (sans Kallen) betray him, then when Rolo dies to save him.

In summary, the reason the world of Code Geass is so horribly screwed up is because of horrible fathers not loving their children. Lelouch and Suzaku are prisoners of their trauma. Their self-hatred, and their desire to overcome their fathers, is what lies at the core of their actions. They both deserve love. Yes, Suzaku too, no matter how stupid or selfish you might think he is when compared to Lelouch.

[alicent-vi-britannia]

One of the many reasons why I prefer Kalulu and consider it the best ship for Lelouch is because of the positive influence that both exert on the other and that the opposite willingly accepts. Something that is fundamental in relationships.

On Lelouch's side, it's several things. Through Zero, he gives her beliefs based on justice, equality and freedom, he gives her a purpose to fight (I won't say objective so as not to confuse it with the other narrative concept), and he gives her hope for a better world and determination to keep forward. Kallen said that if it weren't for Zero she would still be a terrorist until the day she died.

On Kallen's side, we have that moment in episode 7 of R2 where she urges him to go back to being Zero. Fanboys criticized Kallen, calling her selfish and only looking out for her own interests. The truth is that Kallen tried to do what Lelouch at the end of the episode did: give him new motivation to keep going and that motivation was to discover a motivation bigger than himself. Kallen is a selfless person. Therefore, she alludes to the Black Knights and the Japanese who placed their faith in Zero to remind Lelouch of the responsibility he has to them and ask them not to fail them. It doesn't quite work out, but her concern for him brings Lelouch out of his depression and he takes him to Ashford Academy where he finds that motivation that transcends him. Also, Kallen saves Lelouch from the drug trail. More points for her.

I find it pertinent and significant that Kallen is the first person to ask Lelouch to make his lies true (only Suzaku has credit for this and it's not fair). Why? Because on Kaminejima Island was where Kallen found out that Zero's entire cause was a farce by Lelouch to cover up his true intentions and reasons, and instead of breaking down, Kallen turned those lies into her own truth. She chooses to be an ally of justice, a believer in equality, and a defender of freedom. I find it admirable that, despite Lelouch's lies and him using her, Kallen isn't affected. She has enough strength to overcome her pain and the damage caused by her. That's what I call resilience.

I can't say the same about the other girls.

It is true that Lelouch's love, kindness, gentleness, and compassion undermine C.C.'s cynicism, renew her optimism, and bring out her kindness. The problem is that C.C. repays him with dishonesty, disloyalty, abandonment and terrible advices. Don't be fooled. The advices she gives him in the first season are functional for the story, but if you review the human aspect you will see that it is harmful. Recommending that a person with trauma related to loss, who is insanely distrustful of everyone, and who protects themselves behind a mask, be isolated is not exactly a healthy idea. Nor is it appropriate to recommend that a person with post-traumatic stress disorder continue with the war, even at the great risk of developing Complex PTSD. Needless to say, she agreed to his suicidal plan to atone for his sins and that she used him for almost the entire series and never expressed regret. (Seriously, it's better to just see C.C. and Lelouch's relationship as partners in crime before it gets murkier.)

Shirley's case is quite the opposite. She brings kindness, warmth, compassion, support, and humanity to Lelouch. She even offered him a good lesson about love. In narrative terms, Shirley increased Lelouch's likability towards us, the viewers. Except for that time when Lelouch decided to decimate the Order of Geass for Shirley, she was one of Lelouch's most positive incentives. He, on the other hand, brought her suffering, lies, some brain damage, a mental breakdown and death. I know that he didn't do it deliberately and that Lelouch suffered that pain that brought him to Shirley, however, it doesn't take away that he did it anyway. Shirley would have still been alive, if not for Lelouch. Before you attack Rolo, I remind you that Lelouch manipulated him so that he could more easily use his skills and knowledge to his advantage. Shirley's death was the consequence of using a young man who was a victim of child abuse and without awareness of right and wrong.

I'm not going to go into detail about Suzaku and Lelouch's entire complicated relationship. I'll just say that I think it could have become a beautiful bromance, if that relationship had grown under better circumstances. I love their dynamic and the treatment and development of their relationship, but I'm not going to ignore the toxic parts and this friendship is.

Conclusion: although Lelouch and Kallen's relationship has its little problems that need to be worked on, the damage is not serious (it could well be worse). They still have genuinely healthy and valuable moments. The two are a positive presence in each other's lives.

Track List :

1 - TIARA NO KIMOCHI (Nunnally's second character song) 2 - Short Drama "C-taked C.C." 3 - Short Drama "Nunna chan of the oden shop" 4 - A TIARA OF TEARDROPS (Instrumental)

Tiara no Kimochi, Nunnally's second character song, sung by Kaori Nazuka

Short Drama "C-taked C.C." (It's a pun between C.C's name and the shiitake, well known japanese mushroom) C.C. is the amnesiac C.C. in this one

CC is apologizing for being a bother to her master again, while Lelouch, sounding fed up, orders her not to hide like she does. CC then begs him to not hurt her.

He's interrupted by a call from the emperor on his private phone, who greets Lelouch as "My sweet son" Both sound very serious, but Charuru manages to throw in a line about Lelouch making him a grandfather; Charles claims to have some interesting information for Lelouch because he knows a way to turn C.C. back to her old self. (There is a lot of autoderision with stretching of their names and voices during the conversation)

Change of a scene Zero announces suddenly, out of the blue that his army will now be hunting a mushroom; The Black Knights are wondering what's wrong with Zero, if he ate something bad or hit his head or anything like that; Rolo , hearing that, then geasses everyone and beats them up while they're frozen for daring to say bad things about his nii-san.

Zero explains he needs their help to reset the current "moe-moe-shoujo" CC to her old self (the black knights are super confused and don't get a thing). The emperor told him the only way for C.C. to become normal again is to use a specific mushroom, the "mushroom of C", from the World of C. However he also warned him that attempting to find said mushroom is a very dangerous enterprise. Despite that, Zero already has a plan: he has gathered all of the potential mushrooms with different look (green ones, purple ones, striped ones ... ) and the Black Knight's mission is to cook them and present the dishes to C.C.. Diethard is worried about some of them being poisonous but Zero replies he is wrong and that the emperor promised there would be no poison.

Kallen thinks it's an interesting idea, and she and Diethard begins to think of it like a TV Cooking show in which each of the candidates will present their dishes to C.C.. Diethard, as the TV professional he is, wants to imagine a shorter, more catchy title for the show but Rolo turns up to geass and smack him again.

As the "show" begins, Kallen asks C.C. to introduce herself ; C.C. then presents herself as the maid and "moe-moe-shoujo" C.C. and overall makes a very submissive and weak impression. Kallen, amused by CC's change, abuses of the situation and intimidates C.C. who is not superior to her anymore, leading C.C. to whine and be scared of her.

Toudou, heavily praised by Chiba, is the first to present a dish for her, something they used to eat before. C.C. thinks it looks rather grotesque, but encouraged by her master she digs in. This has the magical effect of turning her into tsundere!CC (when Zero asks her how she feels, she gets all excited and replies this doesn't mean she has any feelings for him)

The second dish is a gratin made by Chiba (who mutters dere-dere things about Toudou nobody understands), which she forcefully shoves into C.C.'s mouth, but it's not the mushroom of C either, instead it just resets her to the previous state, aka moeblob C.C. (and additionally burns her mouth so she'll talk a bit funny for the rest of the track)

Diethard tries next, with a britannian dish inspired from a gourmet show. C.C. is reluctant at first and asks Zero if she must eat that too. Zero takes pity on her and doesn't want to force her but Diethard gets offended so Zero asks C.C. to eat it after all. After tasting it C.C. thinks it tastes delicious and happily munches, but it does not have the effect everyone hoped for but transforms into something with drills as her hands (Another Gurren Lagaan reference ?) Zero yells at Diethard to explain himself, but he's barely showing any concern, so C.C. gets crazy and crushes him.

Lastly we have Kallen and her mushroom risotto, who asks to no mind the purpleness of it. C.C. says she can't eat like this ( Because of what Diethard's meal did to her); Kallen chuckles and simply asks her to open her mouth before she feeds her. C.C.'s eyes begin to itch and when Zero wants to have a look he gets struck by a powerful C.C.'s beam (Now she is an X-men) Kallen wants to use her as a weapon but Zero is in despair, so they decide to feed all the remaining mushrooms to C.C., hoping the right one will be in the loot. One turns C.C. into a giant, "bigger than the Zangetsu" (Alice in Wonderland reference now ?), Diethard loses it for no specific reason, Kallen is impressed and Zero seems deeply troubled by his failure to save C.C., while the latter blames herself for everything, says her goodbyes and attempts to run away.

Scene change Suzaku reports to the emperor: A Chinese spy has observed a huge mysterious figure resembling a young girl emerging from the Black Knights's Headquarters in Hourai Island. Suzaku is convinced it's a mistake but Charles goes all "ZERO, YOU REALLY DID IT!!" and bursts into endless laughter, leaving a completely confused Suzaku behind. The drama ends on C.C. fleeing from Zero and the others, still being a giant.

Notes : A lot of the lines are quotes from the main show I tried to keep as such for like Zero's "No, you're wrong!" and Charles " you really did it !". Gotta love the self-irony here.

Translation by Kitsune Short Drama "Nunna-chan of the oden shop"

Sound drama begins with Suzaku's narration. During the time of Heisei, in the lower parts of Tokyo, a small shop can be found. The name of the shop is Oden Shop Nunna-chan.

Kallen comes into the shop straight from work and orders her usual meal :Oden with thick fried tofu and eggs. Tamaki, who arrived there before Kallen, talks to her.

Tamaki: Hey, Kallen, been promoted now at your work, in that bunny pub? Kallen: That's how it is. So far, there's only greasy old men there, but I definitely won't stop until I take back the number one title from C.C. ! Tamaki: If Uma-chan (referring to Kallen) is working so hard, I'll come and visit you ! Kallen: Shut up ! Don't come. Tamaki: Didn't I tell you that you should be nicer to people? Suzaku: Ta-ma-ki, it'll be hard for her to concentrate on her job if acquaintances come around. Tamaki: Suzaku, didn't you say yourself that you wanted to see Kallen in her bunny outfit?

Tamaki then proceeds to drop some dirty secrets about Suzaku, which Suzaku tries to deny with vigor. Kallen comments that it creeps her out more when Suzaku is acting straight-laced; Suzaku then tries to change to topic by praising Nunnally and her oden, saying that it's the best. Nunnally thanks him by saying that she'll offer prayers for him. "What !? There's that kind of rule !?" Tamaki cries out.

Tamaki tries to copy Suzaku by praising Nunna-chan's oden as being "the best in the world…ah, the space…no, the whole galaxy!"

Nunnally kindly chides Tamaki that he is overdoing it. Suzaku comments on Tamaki being only talk as always. Tamaki insists that he is being really sincere, and that Nunnally is truly a good girl to be working that hard to run a shop. Kallen agrees with Tamaki, while Suzaku asks Nunnally if she can handle everything alright.

Nunnally: Yes, I'm used to it already. Tamaki: Oh geez, how could Lelouch go on a journey and leave such a cute sister as Nunnally?

Nunnally drops her cooking utensil.

Suzaku: Tamaki! It's not good to talk about this! Kallen: You…idiot!! Nunnally, you can charge this guy twice the amount he pays for alcohol! Nunally: Okay. Then, I won't hesitate to. Tamaki: Geh, for real!?

Everyone wonders what Lelouch is doing in some place. His whereabouts are unknown. There's no letter at all. However, Kallen thinks that Lelouch is fine.

Lelouch suddenly speaks, saying that they worried for nothing.

Suzaku: This voice! Lelouch: insert sinister laugh How are you doing, ladies and gentlemen? I, Lelouch Lamperouge, who you have been waiting impatiently for, has just returned!

Suzaku, Kallen, and Tamaki all shout, "Lelouch ll!!" all at the same time and talk angrily at him, calling him names such as, "gambler", "worthless human", "womanizer", and "stupid brother".

Kallen urges Nunnally to say something to Lelouch. Nunnally welcomes back her big brother. Lelouch then tells Nunnally that he only came back to do something.

Lelouch: Ah, it looks like nobody noticed the hidden switch. (sound of knocking) Kallen: There was a hidden door in such a place!? Tamaki: What is it? GEH!! It's an iron safe!?

Lelouch tells everyone that he has about a hundred million inside the iron safe, to which everyone is greatly surprised. Lelouch opens the safe only to find that the money is gone.

Nunnally explains to Lelouch that she has already donated the money to a charitable institution. Nunnally says she has been voicing this since before, things about a kind world, how the heart/spirit of the geass is same as the heart of a mother.

The password is, "Everyone, let's go to the World of C!"

Nunnally: "It's not good to keep money that you haven't earned honestly," father used to say--" Lelouch: That man already died! Suzaku: He liked to preach educational things. A pity that such an interesting fellow died. Tamaki: Heh, what old man Charles said sounds good. You must restrain yourself when it comes to money. Nunnally: Tamaki-san, it's time for you to pay your bill, please. Tamaki: Yes ma'am. Lelouch: Then, I have no more business here! I must reestablish my funds-- Kallen: Stop right there! Where do you plan to go, Lelouch?

Kallen, Suzaku, and Tamaki don't plan to let Lelouch off easy. Suzaku says he has a lot to tell Lelouch, that he will beat into shape his bad attitude of laughing through his nose at hard work and living irresponsibly like a yakuza.

Lelouch: Heh, you think that I will be moved. I'll listen to your talk at the least. Tamaki: What are you doing leaving Nunnally alone!? Lelouch: Didn't I told you already? I will take control of the world! Kallen: That is to say, what you are doing is merely gambling, aren't you?

Lelouch explains that he will control the world by buying out several enterprises to establish a large corporation and controlling the stocks. He assures that his plan is perfect.

Suzaku asks if it is for Nunnally's sake. Lelouch says so and that he wants to create a safe and happy place for Nunnally, since the town they live in is prone to calamities/disasters.

Kallen asks Lelouch if he thinks that is what Nunnally wishes. Lelouch in turn asks if they (Suzaku, Kallen, and Tamaki) want Nunnally to stay forever in that shop. Do they have the power to guarantee her future? Kallen thinks Lelouch is wrong. Kallen tries to make Lelouch understand by telling him a story about her Naoto-niichan.

Kallen: My brother, Naoto, you remember him? Lelouch: Yeah, he was raised in the same time. Kallen: As brother's sister, I can understand Nunnally's feelings very well. Naoto was always only thinkingabout his dreams. He liked mountain climbing. Every time he talked about mountains, his eyes would sparkle. This year, he said that he would conquer Mount Everest. And when this is over, I will teach you mountain climbing, he told me. Then he left the house. I had a bad feeling. My mind could not be at ease… Tamaki: Naotoooo…sob Kallen: To turn into this…I…cries Lelouch: Wait! I've thought about it and your brother's not even dead! Kallen: Oh, I've been exposed. Lelouch: Now that I remember, Naoto's an idiot. He was cheated by a guy named Lloyd who wears glasses. Naoto was tricked into becoming a guinea pig for his flying experiments. He was hospitalized by attempting to jump off from a cliff shouting, "Naoto Kashoushiki! Yay!".

Apparently Kallen's attempt to appeal to Lelouch's sympathy didn't work. Lelouch asks whether Kallen wants to persuade him or make a fool out of him. Which is which?

Now, it's Suzaku's turn to convince Lelouch to stay by talking about his cousin named Kaguya.

Suzaku: Her name's Kaguya. During summer break, she would always come to my house. "I'll become oniisama's wife," she would say. A lot of things happened, but still it was fun. And then, she stopped being agreeable. That girl would come to my house, would read manga and spend most of her time posting on message boards on the internet. She would make a mess in her room. "It is for my husband's sake that I am keeping this wonderful lifestyle, am I not?" she said. She would make me buy ice cream and make me do her homework. When she was angry, she would cry, then kick. She's completely abandoned the etiquette she learned at boarding school.

Lelouch asks what Suzaku is trying to do. Suzaku realizes that he's strayed from his original intentions. His point, he says, is that he thinks of his cousin, who's full of naivety, as a sister he loves so much. Suzaku recalls one time, during New Year's Day, "The battledore's shuttlecock got stuck in the tree branches. Please get it for me," Kaguya requested. Suzaku climbed the tree and Kaguya laughed, saying, "You've been tricked, ohahaha!" Then, the next moment, water balloons came flying at me.

Suzaku begins shouting in a frenzy, blurting out things like, "Please stop it, Kaguya! Help me! Somebody help me! Somebody!" Kallen snaps him out of it.

Lelouch says that he understands Suzaku. Then he tells Tamaki that it's his turn to talk. Tamaki says that he doesn't have parents nor siblings and it's not in his interest to tell heart-moving stories. He then challenges Lelouch to a game of chinchiron, a dice game. If Tamaki wins, Lelouch stays forever.

But Lelouch wins, as expected.

Kallen: As I thought, we weren't able to stop Lelouch! Suzaku: Perhaps, it'll take ten years to treat Lelouch's condition. Tamaki: We're probably lucky that this idiot wasn't born as the prince of a great empire, whose mother was killed.

Lelouch is about to leave but Nunnally stops him.

Nunnally: If I win against oniisama in a challenge, you will never leave again, right? Oniisama, please have a match with me! Suzaku: Lelouch, these are Nunnally's feelings. Lelouch: Alright. But I won't hold back. Suzaku: Lelouch! Kallen: But, Nunnally is probably the only one who can stop Lelouch. Lelouch: What will our match be? Nunnally: A long time ago, when our parents were still around, we used to compete over helping with the chores, do you remember? Lelouch: You mean -that-? Nunnally: We haven't done this in a long time, "Dish washing Match!"

And the match starts with Kallen as referee. Lelouch chants "must rub" again and again, while Nunnally chants "become clean" non-stop. .

Tamaki: Amazing! Are they dish washing machines? Suzaku: The plates are becoming sparkling clean with their intense vigor. Kallen: Lelouch is good with household chores, isn't he? Suzaku: Unlike you, Kallen. Kallen: Suzaku, your personality's became worse these days. Suzaku: If I were good, I wouldn't be able to be friend with Lelouch.

Nunnally asks Lelouch why he doesn't like to stay in the shop, if he doesn't like oden. Lelouch says that he only likes Nunnally's cooking and that is why, he's fine with whatever Nunnally likes to do. He doesn't really want to fuss over the shop. Nunnally's hands suddenly stop.

Nunnally's tears start falling as she tells Lelouch that all she wants is to greet her big brother when he comes back and to prepare him food. Lelouch shuts the faucet. "Nunnally…."

Kallen: Siblings are a good thing, aren't they? voice breaks Tamaki: What's this? Tears sniff are coming out from my eyes…sniff Suzaku: Today's a good day! sniff A good day! Nunnally: Oniisama… Lelouch: Nunnally! Nunnally: Chance~ insert "Become clean" x 10 I'm done washing dishes! Everyone: EEEEEHHH!?? Nunnally: Kallen-san, please judge. Kallen: Certainly…Nunnally's win.

And so, Lelouch loses. Nunnally tells him that since the shop is named after her, she will be the manager and Lelouch will be her employee. Lelouch must call her "tenchou". With Lelouch's help, Nunnally says she can achieve her dream of establishing branch stores and even adding a convenience store to the oden shop. Nunnally's plan for world conquest is through her oden shop.

Lelouch: "Nunnallyyyy!!!"

Notes : LOL, Suzaku is a hentai. Interestingly, Naoto is alive in this AU and he likes mountains! Suzaku's monologue about Kaguya was so fun to listen to. His girly Kaguya impression is awe-hilarious. (His story about Kaguya is actually told in the last sound drama of R2, in Sound episode 6) Scheming, devious, semi-Dark, sly Nunnally is great.

Translation By Blottyparchment. That's about it for Sound episode 5; A lot of crack, not of the best kind of content but maybe you'll enjoy.
