Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

[shinta|hikari]

Hmm, I never really thought of Suzaku's approach as the "correct" (or even without the quotation marks) approach. I always thought that the only way things could have changed would be the way Lelouch was doing it, especially since he had the power to do so. If Suzaku's approach was really feasible, I wouldnt like Lelouch in the first place, since resorting to unnecessary violence (or unnecessary anything) is just foolish.

The reason why I like Suzaku now is because he is no longer the idealistic brat he used to be. He actually wants to kill his bestfriend, instead of like, convincing him to stop rebelling and shake hands with the royalty of Britannia. Its simple really. Suzaku just acquired the feelings Lelouch has had brewing within him for most of his life, which is hatred, and the desire for revenge.

I liked how Lelouch made Kallen cry though. If Lelouch said some flowery words like, "I want to free Japan for the sake of its people", Kallen would have shot Suzaku without a second thought. But he simply admitted his original intentions. Foolish, but cool.

Well, maybe Im just as much of a villain as Lelouch is.

EDIT: Oh, and Lelouch didnt do all of those things just because he wanted revenge and acceptance for Nunnally. He actually believed in what he was doing, that it was necessary, and that he was right. In Britannia, power really was justice, and the lack of it was evil, and he wanted to change that (of course, for the sake of Nunnally as well). I really liked the text at the end of the episode, the one that said "I am not wrong, the world is.", and I kind of agree.
