IDC they are canon and will reborn and become lovers one day !!

Critical Zero LuluShir Crumbs

After seeing THIS, of course I had to get my hands on Critical Zero to see if there were any other LuluShir bits 😂 Thanks to @nicerbutnot2u for reminding me I had this in my drafts.

I have to say, I only checked out the stuff of Shirley-related episodes, but it was a worthy purchase. I wanted to share some of my favorite tidbits but since I don’t have the time to translate, I just grabbed the kanji with an app and let DeepL do its magic.

Episode 12

- それと並行しルルーシュとシャーリーの関係にもようやく変化が生じるが、それば悲���の始まりだった。

At the same time, the relationship between Lelouch and Shirley finally changes, but that is just the beginning of the tragedy.

What makes Lelouch’s character so intriguing and so distinct from other genius protags is how he compartmentalizes his facades so perfectly that it has become his fatal flaw, and how it ends up driving the story.

Lelouch is a prince, a big brother, an ordinary student, Zero - he lives different lives that are equally important to him. And in his mind, he separates them so well he foolishly thought they could never overlap.

So when Shirley’s father died because of Zero, Lelouch was just in shock. He struggled to reconcile the two worlds in him. He never imagined it.

And he continued to not learn from it. Suzaku was unique in that he knows all of Lelouch’s facades sans Zero. Suzaku belonged in a unique position in Lelouch’s mind that someone as smart as him didn’t figure out Suzaku was at least related to the Lancelot. This is telling because even Suzaku have always had an inkling Lelouch was Zero. Lelouch didn’t ignore the signs; he was simply so blind to it because of how he divided his facades are.

And this part of Lelouch wasn’t something he chose to be. He didn’t wake up one day deciding to cut up himself in separate identities because it suited him. It was the consequence of his trauma being rejected brutally by a parental figure. This was his shield from a world full of discrimination and violence. Lelouch feared being rejected again, which is why he was always at peace around Suzaku, who knew him as a whole person, yet chooses to protect him. Suzaku rejecting Lelouch at the end of season 1 brought out wild anger and hurt and vulnerability; Suzaku, who was supposed to be the one person who would always be his ally and never hurt him - because both of them have shared their pains and joys honestly when they were children.

Genius protags aren’t supposed to be like robots. They are as human as anyone else.

Summary: Sometimes after getting shot and then piloting a Knightmare for the first time with broken ribs, you end up passing out afterward in rather inconvenient places. Sometimes then the person who finds you isn’t anyone from your unit but instead a girl from a rebel cell who takes you back to their base to make sure you don’t die. Sometimes you’re then reported to have killed someone rather important and subsequently field executed in absentia—sometimes this doesn’t occur before you’re even awake for it. Then sometimes, instead of finding out about your miraculous survival, your best friend who thought you might be dead instead hears about that report of said execution from his sister when he gets home. Sometimes he then spends the next week or so in a fugue state, not really caring about anything much at all while you’re off busy starting a resistance campaign based around safeguarding civilians. Sometimes that changes things.

Time to play “Guess What These Characters Have In Common?”

And if you guessed “I love them but am also utterly terrified and disturbed by other people who love them”, then you’re half right!

CC, Kallen, and Shirley want something from Lelouch while Lelouch has only wanted something from one person: Suzaku. This isn’t a shipping post, but another observation in the theme of Code Geass and how it’s been woven into Lelouch’s complicated relationships.

The three love interests of Lelouch represent his three masks that he has compartmentalized to calculate his behavior. He is the vengeful partner-in-crime around CC. He is the charismatic leader around Kallen. He is the kind and loving brother around Shirley. Lelouch fits himself to these molds separately because he understands that by playing the role, he can succeed. He won’t make mistakes. He would be accepted.

After having been rejected by his father, and then losing the short-lived happiness when his family invades the country he was in, practically saying he was abandoned, Lelouch was forced to become dishonest. He had to live a lie, and this lie became his strength. His power. His specialty. Lies protected Lelouch, but lies also protected anyone. People lie for the sake of their happiness for they lived in a world where being weak was a sin.

Lelouch knowingly navigated his life of lie transanctionally, because he could neither live truthfully nor shamelessly. He had to appease the contradictions of not behaving like the people he hated, yet not showing altruism and trust in fear that it would be his death and downfall.

So for Lelouch to seek others, to seek someone as a request is enormous. It is a matter of pride he had managed to build while he feeling great shame with his life of lies. And it is also a matter of faith, with no rationality or deception. Lelouch believed in something as vague as friendship, and the recipient has always been Suzaku.

He wants something from Suzaku and even throughout their fallouts, he never felt like he had something to give him in return. And this is because he knows Suzaku will honor it. He will do the right thing. He will betray his beliefs if it’s for his friends - as he had killed his own father for them. Suzaku isn’t cunning like him. And Suzaku knows Lelouch. Suzaku knows every side of him. The good and the terrible.

And the biggest part of why is this: Suzaku doesn’t want anything from Lelouch.

Ever since he and Nunnally entered in their lives, Suzaku had nothing to gain. He only had something to lose by risking his neck for two abandoned royals of the most hated country. Lelouch, who had just been blindsided by people who made him feel safe, realized how special this was. That a foreign stranger who had every reason to hate him, a child surrounded by powerful adults, would be the one ready to die for him and Nunnally.

It isn’t that CC, Kallen, and Shirley would do any less for Lelouch. They do love him, but the ironic problem is: they want to be with him and for Lelouch, this is a problem. He has struggled with how organic and human relationships are supposed to be. But because of the summer spent with Suzaku, Lelouch still remembers how that bond is supposed to be. One that isn’t about pleasing others, but on relying on others.

Lelouch doesn’t want to get hurt, but he also doesn’t want to hurt others. He knows he is more likely to cause pain than comfort.

He sees Suzaku as someone strong and, plainly speaking, his hero. He wants to be like Suzaku who was both honest and strong.

And I think that also added to Suzaku’s spiral. Lelouch didn’t see how deep his scars went. After finding out Suzaku killed his own father, Lelouch merely provided strong approval, thinking the validation would give him confidence. He points out that Suzaku’s actions did indeed to a more peaceful end to the war, exactly what the other smartest character, Schneizel says. He didn’t understand that it was never about the results. It was the deep unhappiness of having to live in a kind of world where killing your own father could be a right thing. Suzaku says this outright when he goes after Charles so that Lelouch wouldn’t have to kill his own father. He knew the pain, and he didn’t want the world to continue working on this tragic and sad rationality.

Code Geass really is about Lelouch and Suzaku. Lelouch’s other relationships are important, but the one he has with Suzaku is the clearest look into his character. Lelouch was woefully starstruck with Suzaku, who was struggling to find a reason to live in a cruel world - one that he blatantly rejects very early on when Zero first made his appearance by rescuing him.
