Peace versus a single life

Taking into account Kannon’s “YOU DON’T EVEN FUCKING CARE ABOUT YOURSELF” and Schneizel’s “Trade a single life in for peace, SAD BUT CANNOT COMPARE hurr” from R2 24, wouldn’t it have been a nice gesture if Schneizel had offered to swap places with the Tianzi in R2 09 when Zero has her at gunpoint and wants to run off with her? He was trying to create peace back then without bombing the fuck out of everyone… If both the treaty with the EU and the deal with China had gone through, then the three major super powers would’ve been “friends” with Britannia through some peace which treads on thin ice.

Of course, when you get into the details this is all kinds of stupid. There was the element of “Xingke is there too with his sword drawn”, Zero wouldn’t have to accept that trade, the Black Knights would’ve still been a problem especially if Britannia decided to put emphasis on Schneizel rather than what he was possibly trying to accomplish, etc. I’m mostly dwelling/rambling.

(…but on the note of the Black Knights and this situation, there’s something that bothers me about the China Arc. How exactly did the Eunuchs think they were preparing the Black Knights as a wedding gift? Were they trying to hide the details of the wedding from them? I guess not, since the Eunuchs apparently didn’t make any effort to prevent the Tianzi from inviting Kaguya. Her position within the Black Knights is pretty clear.)

Fuck Zero

I thought the Black Knights betrayal of Zero wouldn’t make any sense and that it would just run like another plot point on Taniguchi’s episode Power Point. From the audience PoV, they kind of suck without him. I questioned how much the magical tape recording would be able to sway them. Sure, Asahina, Chiba, and Minami have always kind of been like “Fuuuck Zero”, but they seemed to put up with him regardless. I figured they were a minority opinion and they just put up with him and stayed for other reasons. But when I thought these things, I was unaware that the tape recording would have Lelouch lying out of his ass and getting down on his hands and knees to try to appease Suzaku. Read more »

Life and times of the Japanese terrorist group

Now time for some different speculation, completely unrelated to Schneizel (SHI- WHAT?!). Ignore Lelouch, Ougi and Kallen in the picture above! Lets talk about the uh, little guys. The generics. :D What did they do before they were terrorists?

This whole thing is bullshit done for lulz after a discussion on IRC with Grenji. Read more »
