Geass, it's always Geass.

Oh hey, they redid the Blogger interface again. No idea when, if that gives you any idea how often I've tried to post here.

Charles' library:

Akasha
Paranormal Phenomenon
Kollektives Unbewussts (Presumably meant to be kollektives unbewusste -- German for collective unconscious, aka the World of C)
RagnarΦk (Technically a slanted capital Rho. Also it's subtitled with the exact same text)
Encyclopedia Brittania (This amused me to no end)


Flying, legless Charles was pretty amusing, I could watch that as a cycled gif a few dozen times and keep laughing.


So the questions:

O) This is out of order, but what the hell was everybody doing for a full month?

1) Who does V.V. call after he shoots Marianne? I assume just further agents under his sway, as opposed to some regulatory leadership, since the action is taken without Charles and done while the Order is still under C.C.'s control.

2) Charles' Geass has the power to override the knowledge of how to use eyesight and kinetic functions? That's a rather impressive interpretation of a memory-Geass.

3) If the Royals believe the Bismarck has disappeared, why is he with the remaining Knights of Rounds? Shouldn't that be fitting.

* Worth noting that he appears, eye opened and Geass-symboled in the next episode preview (apparently battling a turquoise-winged knightmare frame (Lancelot Albion I assume)

4) Who granted Bismarck's Geass, presumably he's had it since before that eye was closed, and thus longer than V.V.'s death-span. Geass endures beyond the lifespan of the granting Code? And there's certainly no extra connection between C.C. and Lelouch, whereas Bismarck appears to know of Charles' failure immediately, which makes me think he doesn't have order-generated Geass. Lastly, what does his Geass allow him to do?

5) Anya doesn't appear with the other Knights of Rounds but given how the World of C was entered, it's likely that she was recovered by Lelouch, Suzaku, and C.C. However the events within the World of C showed her awakening earlier, it's possible she wasn't there when they emerged. Given that they decided not to reveal it when showing all the other students at the academy, I assume that Charles' death is not the end of the effects of his Geass on Anya.

6) Given that Suzaku appears to have Lancelot Albion, or at least a Lancelot with Cecile's float-wings, where are Lloyd and Cecile? They appeared quite distraught (strangely, I didn't think either would feel loyalty to Charles) at the coup incited by Schneizel. It's uncertain if Schneizel still has them, since he apparently released Gino back to the Knights.

* Wildcard, I'm greatly amused by Diethard joining Schneizel.

7) Who acquired the second Geass blocking contact lens for Lelouch. Was it something C.C. prepared given history of Geass progression in its users? How did she acquire the original one anyway, though the Order? With that destroyed, they shouldn't have the resources to get another anyway. Also, why is C.C. back to her original garb? I guess because the Black Knights ousted Zero, but why not keep with what she had been wearing?

8) Whose forces are the ones in the preview. All I can see in looking at them is Soul Eater's Kishin.

Assuming Lelouch frees Japan for the Black Knights, their obligations as a force are ended (though not necessarily those of the United Nations that Zero created)

And here I was figuring that a restored C.C. was the end of a Lelouch x Kallen path, I'm glad to see that doesn't seem to be the case (though it could easily be an ambush for either of them I guess).

Edit: Bonus additions

I take back a portion of 4), as per Lelouch's discourse with C.C:
"What do you two think?"
"You noticed that I showed up?"
"And the fact that you have returned to your original persona."

I also find it ironic how Clovis had precisely what his father wanted all along.
