Oh my god… This is what I have been waiting for, a brillaint fight episode finally. Although, so much did happen and get revealed this episode, I am still in some awe from the fighting near the end. (And in awe that Kaguya got more than 2 seconds of screentime… Kaguya-hime!)

Rollo has his uses and it seems apparent that his Geass can only last about five seconds at a time it seems. I was wondering how Lelouch would get out of this perdicament as he surely doesn’t want to crush Nunnally but at the same time, he did promise not to lie to her. Luckily a Rollo was there to save his ass (funny how supernatural powers get him through most of his troubles…) and now Suzaku has doubt about whether Lelouch’s memories have returned and whether the new Zero is a fake.

New Loli… proably the Chinese princess… I hesistate to think she is the empress or what not… I want to know a lot more about the Chinese Federation… about their powrbase and how they operate. I would think that to make his take down of Britainnia effective, Lelouch would have to gain more favour with such a large power (one that has been alluded to).

Obligatory…. Kaguya-hime!!! Oh god, it was such a surprise to see her get a better amount of screen time. At least we find out where she has been hiding out at, like the rest of the important members of the Black Knights it seems.

If I were Lelouch, I would be less interested in the Chess board… Lelouch asks some poignant questions and gets some rather cryptic remarks from C.C. I still so desperately want to know what her wish is, the one stipulated when she gave Lelouch his powers.

And on the other side, the emperor calls V.V. nii-san which has me really confused… V.V. has been with the emperor since the Emperor’s childhood as a older brother like person seems the more likely thing. I really want some backstory explanation here. The geass side of the story is where a lot of my interest lays but we only het more information at a snail’s pace.

It is moments like this that remind me quite jarringly why Lelouch has seemed so cool to me. Nevermind the mincing about or the theratric affair, just ordering death and casuallly strolling to where he want to be was just awesome. And he always seems to have most of the bases covered, with the guard killing everyone in the guard room.

Obligatory Anya Screenshot… finally, we see the Mordred in action. Those four hadron cannons (physics lol) surely pack a huge punch desimating the other ship which was falling. A whole load of better mech just came to this, with the Knights of Round in their custom mechs, and Guilford in a one of the prototype mass produced units. Suzaku seems kinda haxed in his Lancelot now, with the new powerful gun attachment and him survivng pretty well under the Gurren’s Rad Arm where others have been completely decimated. Hell, the shot in the face did more damage than the rad arm did to the Lancelot.

The fighting was pretty cool to begin with, but it just got awesome with the improved Gurren who got remade mid flight in an epic and complicated manner and the aerial fights started in earnest against the Knights of Round. The Gurren is now packed with some awesome gadgets with a cool new Rad Arm which now can do long distance shots. Kind of lame for Guilford to be able to escape that. Finally, the Knights have an aerial frame too to match the Britainian ones, and it matches pretty well, disabling frames and the erradicating Guilford’s unit of mech.

What? Again!? Kaguya-hime! I got to say, I love R2’s new clothes designs for some of my favourite characters, like C.C.’s new outfit. I must say, that Ogi is sporting some cool new threads too. Why is he wearing that instead of the Black Knights uniform though?

I actually had no idea how much I missed Nunnally until she actuallly had some actual screen time in the longest time. Nunnally is trying to extend the same offer to Zero as Euphie did before her. We all know how well that turned out… and Lelouch remembers that quite negatively as well. He almost had her but spent way too long just talking to her. I thought it was harsh when Nunnally calls out to Suzaku for help, pretty much tearing Lelouch to pieces. And it seems that Nunnally may recognise Zero by his screams of Nunnally. This is getting more and more intriguing. I desperately await the next episode.

So yeah, I am now labled a loli master at least in relation with this show… meh, not like I am complaining. So many returning characters… my favourite is Lloyd who pulls off the weirdest exclamation ever when the Lancelot was hit in the head.
