Code Geass S102 REVIEW

Sun Sep 27, 2009, 4:34 PM
So things are looking a bit more interesting. We learn that LeLouch is making more use of his 'Jedi Mindtricks'. He jacks a Britanian Knightmare unit from a pilot and plays vigilante helping the Japanese 'terrorists' against the Britanians in a mech skirmish.

For some reason, Mr 'my loyalties are effed up' Suzaku gets chosen by the Britanian R&D squad to pilot their latest invention, the Lancelot Knightmare unit which enters the battle and takes down all the Japanese piloted mechs. Duke Clovis of Britania who initiated the attack decides to call a ceasefire and it turns out LeLouch is Duke Clovis's younger blood brother.

My peeve is: 1. How the hell does LeLouch know how to pilot a Knightmare unit if he's a high school student. 2. I guess he somehow became a tactical genius from playing a lot of chess games 3. Why the hell did Britania choose a random private to pilot their most expensive and exclusive Knightmare unit the Lancelot? Plus, he's Japanese, since when do minority races get such perks if they're all oppressed?

I can already see that the show is obviously pitting LeLouch against Suzaku in the 'battle of contrasting characters'. LeLouch is the impersonal tactical genius playboy Bruce Wayne Batman vigilante guy while Suzaku is the confused nice guy who somehow gets a lucky break and has serious issues with country loyalty. Oh wait, LeLouch is beating on his own country despite the fact he's Britanian.

I like the obvious references to Eva in the Lancelot initiation sequence. The mood and feel of this episode reminded me of the Front Mission mech games but I'm just highly amused that a high school student, who is an aristocrat, who's a tactical genius is able to command random Japanese 'terrorists' against his own country. Oh PLUS he has Jedi Mind control powers.

Don't you think there's some sort of a balance issue here?

Still nonetheless, things are getting interesting.
