Today I bring you one of my favorite instrumental pieces from the Code Geass soundtrack: Nunnally's theme. And, by the way, I'll give you a little analysis about it. I was going to hold out until I analyzed Lelouch and Kallen's kiss scene, but whatever. So here is a preview of that analysis.
I think Nunnally's theme is the love theme of the series. Why? Because the series associated Nunnally with love in episode 11 of R2, "The Power of the Passions." At that time a conversation takes place between Lelouch and Shirley about love. The orange-haired girl claims that love is a powerful force that moves people to do anything, from the stupidest to the impossible, and she lists several examples to support her premise. Lelouch is convinced by her argument, when he realizes that his love for Nunnally has filled him with power. Therefore, Nunnally is the first person that Lelouch professed sincere and enormous love for, and therefore, Nunnally represents love from Lelouch's point of view.
An example of this is in episode 24 when Nina and Lelouch speak for the last time. Why does it ring at that moment? Because they are both talking about Euphemia. Nina is helping her worst enemy out of love for Euphy, both to see the princess' wish of a world where everyone is happy come true and to give justice to her murder since Lelouch intends to pay for his crime with the Zero Requiem. Don't forget that Euphemia is the reason Nina is fighting.
The music doesn't stop at that point and extends until the last conversation between Lelouch and C.C. Why? Because C.C. feels remorse for giving Geass to Lelouch. Geass changed his entire life and now he has to face the person he has loved most in his life, his own sister, and give his life for humanity and to pay for his sins. He has thousands of reasons to hate her. She used him, betrayed him, and lied to him for almost the entire series. But Lelouch has forgiven her everything because the witch has become an important person to him. In addition to that Lelouch takes full responsibility for having used the cursed gift she gave him and, rather, thanks her. It's a perfect display of love and this is what will motivate C.C. to live in the new world.
Above all, this theme is especially remembered because it was played when Lelouch and Kallen kiss and it is coincidentally the first time it is heard in the entire series. A few moments before, Kallen asks Lelouch what she meant to him and why he said "Kallen, you have to live" in front of the firing squad, to which Lelouch remains silent and Kallen acts by planting a kiss on him that Lelouch does not hesitate to accept. give the girl back. Kallen doesn't get an answer from her, but the music fills the void that Lelouch's silence leaves. Lelouch loved Kallen.
Why don't I say it's a "romance" theme? I'm just being cautious and avoid making strong statements. Fanboys hate my interpretation of Nunnally's theme since it implies that Lelouch reciprocates Kallen's feelings. Even if they like the idea that it's a romance theme given that it plays during the conversation between Lelouch and C.C., they can't deny that it also played at the RIGHT moment Lelouch and Kallen kissed, RIGHT after she wants to clarify with him the nature of their relationship (and much more strongly).
You be the judges. Music is another element of the composition and, like any element in an audiovisual product, it has an intention.
This opening of Ranma x Code Geass with was INSANE, and the show preview after as well, we really deserved Code Geass fumoffu as an AU instead of the embarassing re;surrection lmao
This blog is meant to be a Memento for Everything Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion related;
If you have any link, translation, capture that you think should be worth being kept or shared, feel free to share it through DM or in comment;
I'll post interviews, random canon facts, side material, anything which actually matters for the Original Code Geass anime, while always being clear about the nature of the content (being Canon, like interviews, or not canon, like the novels)
My aim is to have a a Blog filled with Geass facts, easy to find and share if needed be, and to offer fans who weren't around before the Revival, more information about the Anime version
As such, anything in regard of the Alternate Timeline won't have room over there, it's all dedicated to the Original anime many came to discover and love, AU facts and information mingled with original canon fact and information would only be confusing and that's what i'm aiming to avoid.
I'll also post some of my personal analysis, based on the show and information shared, but those will be mentioned as such, so no confusion there.
Welcome around, take some tea and I hope you'll find enjoyment in every bit of information I can share.

Power was a drug more addictive than any other, and Lelouch vi Britannia knew better than anyone what it was like to have the world in the palm of his hand, to have control and power over the lives of others. Kira must die.
Kallen: Apparently at some point when my now-girlfriend and I were flirting with each other but not quite in a relationship, she asked me how I felt about pet names, to which I replied "well, you have to call them something."
Kallen: The fact that I have managed to end up in a relationship is really a testament to her patience.
The reverse between Suzaku/Knight and Euphemia/Royal and Kallen/Knight and Lelouch/Royal is actually pretty great, too bad the girls only interacted a few times (she is still the only one of Lelouch’s girls she interacted with actually) and, as usual, only got few promo pics together; When you think about it both Kallen and Suzaku end up the same, they failed to protect the one they loved, that’s quite bittersweet for those two.
And for my guilty pleasure, this promotional artwork with the older ladies on both Lelouch and Suzaku’s side cheering (or no, in C.C.’s case of course) and the two younger girls cheering for their champions (Very remininscing of their fight on the Island btw)
Mmmm so I recently got back into this amazing show - however, as a lesbian, not only does the portrayal of Nina disappoint me but the fandom too; we barely have any good WLW content. So I'm considering holding a WLW week in the last week of June or mid July for Pride Month... if you guys think this is a good idea please comment like and reblog!! I will make a separate blog and host the week if I get a good enough response. (approx. >40 reblogs). Do spread the word, fellow CG sapphics - let's bring WLW ships up in this fandom!
