Code Geass - Episode by Episode #8 RESPONSE

Original journal taken forcefully from Always Appropriate.

Most of this is just random side comments. I can't actually say anything without somehow spoiling something. D: Images left out for various reasons including laziness.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we've hit awesometown. Crashed into it to be exact.

Before we get there, we have to take a trip through the rest of the episode. For one, we open with a recap that actually recaps information! Amazing! I was shocked too. After the OP, we see the stuco (minus terrorists, soldiers, and joke characters <cough> Rivalz, I'm looking at you) Rivalz is awesometown itself, what are you talking about. is on the high speed train to a fun, exciting - aw heck, they couldn't keep up the pretense for long either. They're headed off to kidnapville, population: people the more important characters care about (except for Nunnally). Oh, and girl-I-hate is there too. Oh yes, and her.

I swear to God, if she doesn't have a hideously traumatic and scarring backstory involving feral 11s (wouldn't it be funny if she didn't), I want her to die messily. In fact, later on in the episode I was disappointed. Tell me about it D:

I also keep wanting to comment on Ougi. Is he supposed to be like, Jewish? Ougi is an awesome mindless follower. That's what he is.

I dun git it.

So, anyway, Zero apparently Geassed someone to get a mega-RV as an HQ.

It's all kitted out and omigod, has a TV too! OMG

Sorry, but, well, DUH. This luxury megafortress wouldn't have a TV?

But, thanks to the magic of television, we find out about a hostage situation! And guess who is coincidentally hostaged up?

Stuco! You rascals, getting yourself in the middle of a hostage situation. What cards! Except Nina. She can die in fire. In a fiery pit of HELL! (bonus Engrish, too)

I love these guys. So far, they've sat around and watched TV. That's it. Seriously. Oh just wait. They get up to get potato chips sometimes. That's something.

Sakuradite, as it is essential as a plot device to set up this kidnapping...

HATE

Be cool, cats, or else we're going to harsh your buzz, dig? And I know we don't want that, right on.

Zero is getting booty calls at the worst possible time. And Rivalz gets shut down cold.

All alone. Maybe he can go ride his bike with its cool sidecar to take his mind off of HOW WORTHLESS HE IS AS A CHARACTER. You mean to take his mind off of HOW AWESOME A MINOR CHARACTER HE IS?

The terrorists have done a good job securing the hotel. In fact, there's only one way in.

The lifeline underneath the hotel! They can sneak in and rescue the- wait, what's that say? SINK THE HOTEL?!? These guys are more hardcore than I thought! WOOT Britannia!

In fact, they're so hardcore, they run their HQ vehicles on roads that are totally not rated for multi-ton HQ vehicles. SQUISH.

My mayoral advisors are going to be suggesting an increase in infrastructure tax for sure. Just as long as we don't have a monster attack this year. Or maybe SHIFT-F-U-N-D-S.*

So they send some Sutherlands down there, but the terrorists have an ace up their sleeve. A large, gun shaped surprise. w00t

That sounds bad.

Yep. Strike the plan about sinking the hotel to rescue the hostages. I don't think they thought that one through all the way anyhow.

That's one for the little guy (with the big sword).

Weak is bad, mmkay?

Did we mention that Euphie is a hostage too? Just in case Suzaku wasn't stressed out enough about stuco, he's got his love = Lulu, er, I mean boss, in there too.

RACISTS! Well, duh, Emperor Jerkface made that pretty apparent a while back. Actually, it's more like Cornelia and Nina are RACISTS, Jerkface is more of an elitist.

That was pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

Poor Lulu. His crusher is captured by his allies. Or are they... And Karen is all sad and stuff too. Or are they... Wait. That didn't make sense.

The TV footage stirs Louchy's brain (he's a chess champion, donchaknow?). Cornelia is kind of... well... not nice. So...

Why indeed... why indeed...

Ougi has a big box of... STUFFED ANIMALS YAY!

uniforms? Costumes? Pretentiousness? Maybe all three!

Yeeeah, definitely pretentiousness. Ohoho, flashy.

For great justice!

It turns out the hoteljackers are actually extreme sports fans.

Extreme diving, for example. Ouch, where's the parachute? Man, they must be hardcore extreme.

Sorry, extreme flying. I see no flying happening, only falling. Stupid terrorists.

Cornelia still doesn't care. MAKE A MOVE! LIEK NAO Now it's about time Zero got off his butt, so he shows up and is all "Hey Cornelia what's up? You want to kill me or can I go help your sis?"

And she's all "Darnit, fine." But now she can continue with Operation Save them by Sinking them, starring her lucky number...

...as bait.

Please, please, please! SHOW HER WHAT THE JAPANESE ARE MADE OF!

Darn you, Euphie. Apparently the Clark Kent disguise works in Geassland too. I wish the hoteljacker would've just shot Nina after Euphie left though. That would have made everyone happy. Hmm... do we actually see her rescued? Maybe I can hope.

Zero and Sword Guy have a chat.

They don't get along.

Suzaku! He's our man!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that he's going to get by the ubergun.

The conference ends badly.

Coincidentally, Euphie is just outside in time to talk to Zero!

Welcome to Awesometown.

Zero and Euphie have a menacing chat. Is he going to kill her?!? Actually, no, but man that would be Awesomertown. Aw, you dun liek Yuffie?
Suzaku blows the gun up. And then the foundation. Seriously, that is the best plan ever. Rescue them by sinking the hotel. Sweet. Who woulda ever thought of something that genius?

Suzaku has Zero in his sights. But then Zero's flunkies BLOW THE TOWER UP MORE! YAY GO MORE BOOM! Seriously, these guys just like to destory things.

Bonus. He killed his stuco buddies too! Wait, no, that makes no sense. Haha, gotcha.

Maybe next episode, Nina. I'll see you dead yet. Hopefully. So Zero is broadcasting and decides to reveal his new Fall line. Of super cool black suits and weird visors!

Or he's revealing his organization and it's purpose. Basically, it's anti-Jerkface. If you're weak, it will protect you. If you're strong, it will punch you. In the face.

That Zero. What a flair for the dramatic. I wish someone would like destroy his cape. Then he would have nothing to flip around to make everything he says seem dramatic.

Episode 8: Something about Black Knights, but Really Awesometown.

*SimCity jokes, kthx.

You know, even after all that I didn't have much to say. Ah well, it was fun anyway.

Nina seriously needs to die. How much more racist can you get?
