Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 Turn 2
Japan Independence Plan

As Hanners wrote here, Zero didn’t actually come back last episode, he came back now! Code Geass is at it’s best when Zero is topped up with Russian Anabolic Steroids and making outrageous claims. After a thankfully brief flashback, where the Geass powered Emperor of Britannia rewrote Lulu’s memory and sent him back into the world, Lelouch is back for revenge.

Or I would have hoped. For some reason, Lelouch is clinging onto his idea that he can create a safe, better and brighter world for his Sister Nunnally by bringing war to and demolishing half the city she lives in. Even when he doesn’t even know where Nunnally is, he slaughters untold thousands in an ironic attack on the tower of Babel before declaring a free United States of Japan. Master tactician he maybe but that is a rubbish strategy.

Zero also claims he is a champion of freedom and then makes a deal with the homosexual, slitty-eyed, pansies: the Chinese - who no doubt want Area 11 for themselves. By the way, the director wasn’t being racist at all when he came up with the ugliest character design since Godzilla and then got a castrated monkey to voice him, was he!?

This leaves only one possible two logical reasons for lulu’s crazy actions and given that the medium is Japanese Animation, it is quite possible that Lelouch is in love with his sister! Trust me on this, I’ve been good at spotting Siskons so far. My Incest-dar lit up like a Christmas tree way before Jun came close to the confessional in True Tears. Lulu’s light got brighter since his reaction to Kallen in a bunny costume, with something shiny shoved between her breasts, was something short of a bloody nasal spasm. It does kind of make sense if the house of Lamperouge loved each other because the lot of them are off their rockers!

The other reason is, as Shirukii says, is that Lelouch is gay for Suzaku. But I think that’s going to be a stretch now that Suzaku traded Lelouch in for a chance to be the emperor’s right hand man. Besides Suzaku already has a new bum buddy within the hastily invented mid-bosses, the knights of the round. If that doesn’t suit Suzaku’s tastes, there’s always the obligatory Loli (Anya is quite prominent actually: she makes it onto the front cover).

First up though, Lelouch has to tackle a geassed-up Rolo, boss No.1
