The meaning of Schneizel’s mask is tricky. He has a mask, and yet he doesn’t. His mask can be identified by his lies. That’s not a very special mask, it’s the same mask shared by everyone that Charles speaks of and wishes to destroy. But at the same time, it’s not much of a mask because he doesn’t really go to great efforts to hide his lies. In the end, Schneizel does something like wear a mask that looks exactly like his own face.
Schneizel has been a character who’s kept us guessing for a while, when in reality we had no real reason to. We always thought he had something up his sleeve like a good magician, but naw. He’s left himself out in the open. We were just looking for something that wasn’t there because we didn’t know any better. And it wasn’t just us, it was Lelouch too. Read more »
After the past/present/future comparison from R2 24, I’ve got an idea for an AU spin off series: Ah! My Geass! It will star college student Kannon Maldini (Keiichi Morisato - FUCK SAME INITIALS), who dials up a Britannian Royalty service by mistake instead of Pizza Hut. Result? Now Schneizel (Belldandy) is living with him under a contract. Also stars Lelouch (Skuld) and Charles (Urd). To make this sound less like an excuse to make Kannon and Schneizel live together, this also metaphorically works out, as Schneizel has a “fucked up wish granter” gimmick to him. (I’m not being very convincing.)
It would be fucking awesome.
Edit/Re - The Comments: It should have been obvious I was going off the deep end by the simple fact I had a blog dedicated to one anime and I was dedicating time to subbing it and blogging about it entirely because of a crush on a character who gets 0 screen time. If you didn’t pick up based on that, then you should have been able to after the Lelouch of the High School Rebellion post! I rest my case.
This is for the frequently misspelled, even though it wasn’t the intent. It started out as a post where I was rambling about Schneizel after the developments of the last episode, but it turned into the post that he requested of me earlier: Something srsbsns about Charles vs Lelouch vs Schneizel.
The title of the post is from the Dark Knight. Schneizel/Joker comparison images popped up last night, and I’m inclined to agree with what’s expressed by them. Read more »
Idea: Think everyone’s a liar? Let’s get into some occult stuff and try to remove the MASKS that people wear! Everyone will be nice to each other!
Method: Conquer lands to be in control of the Geass ruins, do everything to make sure that Britannia keeps the areas where these said ruins are.
Casualties: People who die as a result of his conquests. Probably the least number of casualties.
Power: His Geass code, understanding of occult stuff.
Flowery Language: Kill God and rid the world of lies.
Idea: Britannia is a shitty country and it needs to be broken apart. I’ll turn the world into a kinder place, like what Nunnally said!
Method: Make a terrorist group to harass Britannia. After becoming Emperor, he changes his method to making himself a puppy kicker so that we all just hate on Britannia.
Casualties: Those who get in his way, plus some loved ones he didn’t want to get involved.
Power: Geass, Suzaku.
Flowery Language: CRUSH THE WORLD!
Idea: The world in its current state sucks. People need to be disciplined into peace, or rather have peace forced down their throats.
Method: FLEIA the “countries that wage war” (read: blow up the world). Also, manipulate the shit out of everyone along the way.
Casualties: The citizens of those countries. “One or two billion”… or so.
Power: Pink sphere of death, manipulation.
Flowery Language: Then I’ll become God.
All 3 of them dislike the current state of the world and want it to change somehow, and want to bring about peace all in their own fucked up little ways. Makes you wonder what the fuck people are taught as children in Britannia. Man, Euphy wanted to change crap too though she was a complete dumbass about it. Changing the World 101 is a mandatory class for royals. Anyway, they come to differences down the road when you think about what happens to the world after it changes. Charles and Schneizel are bitter emo adults or something. A forced kindness brought about by metaphysical bullshit, a forced peace brought about by fear don’t really represent “the future”. Lelouch is still a hopeful younger dude so he believes in the future. This series is some bitter adults who gave up (I guess) on mankind, and a kid with a Sailor Moon wand for a sword leading others towards the future. Mai haanii wanted a srsbsns post about “lol all 3 are trying to change the world”, but I don’t think it needs srsbsns.
- Schneizel first mentioned Cambodia in S1 20. He talks of a Toromo Institute located in Cambodia which Kannon later mentions in R2 15. This place has to do with Damocles’s development (the tower with the various float system devices in the opening - maybe we should just call it Messiah), as his “thing” in R2 15 with the Toromo Institute was going to largely depend on if FLEIA failed or succeeded in R2 15.
- Schneizel also mentions a Rosenberg Institute to Bartley in S1 22. Orange and Siegfried were to be sent there.
- The Ragnarok Connection was first mentioned in S1 01 during the scene in which Lelouch receives makes his contract. The Emperor says, “The Ragnarok Connection. The legend begun yet again?” What this means, after watching R2 21, is a whole lot of
but I maintain the belief that he refers to the legend to mean “the legend of the cycle of death and rebirth”. Alternatively, it meant something else at first and has since changed.
- The Thought Elevator is first mentioned in S1 18. The Emperor says that the construction of the Thought Elevator is going as planned.
I suspect people will have varied interpretations on what each individual piece of the puzzle does. 
This is my take. Read more »
The World of C is the collective unconscious. It collects souls; the thoughts and memories of those souls. Within it, reincarnation occurs because the thoughts of the dead resurface. Some people call it the great will, some people call it God.
Charles says he wanted to kill this “God” but is that really what he meant? This “God” is, basically, history. You can’t defeat it. You can’t change history - it’s already happened. Charles wanted to change the past, bring the dead back to life (Edit: This is not literally, I mean in the terms of how they would have been able to communicate with the dead again if the Ragnarok Connection had been successful), and figured he could do so by destroying the boundary between man and “God”.
Namely, Charles wanted his mother back. He hated the throne for it’s what put his family in turmoil, yet he took it. He extended this desire for himself and mutated it into what he thought was something for the good of mankind. Like father, like son. Where they differ is in the part of God that has yet to be created, the future.
But where does say, Marianne, fit into this? Why did she side with Charles? For what purpose did C.C. create something like the Followers of Geass?
Okay lol. I saw the sample of this Japanese voice actor GPS system before. They made GPS systems using various JP voice actors, such as Kugimiya Rie. One of them is using Emperor Curly’s VA, Wakamoto Norio. Dio linked a 5min sample of the Wakamoto Norio GPS on IRC. Maybe Britannia uses GPS like this in their cars and KMF’s. After each driving instruction, yell ALL HAIL BRITANNIA or YES, YOUR MAJESTY.
Charles, Slayer of Lies vs. Demon King Lelouch vs. “Nice Guy” Schneizel. Winner will change the world. Heaven or hell, thunderdome, final destination, etc. Read more »
Fuck everything. The Emperor’s shit actually kind of makes sense. Fuck.
Look at the world of Geass, take into account the Emperor’s Ragnarok-spewing bullshit from S1 01 (YEAH S1 01!), then take into account what Ragnarok means, the “Gods who pit man against man” crap, then add some metaphorical comparisons, and this actually does, metaphorically, make sense. Now I’m aware that saying that something about Geass makes sense is, in itself, un-sensemaking, but hey.
Ragnarok is this epic part of Norse mythology where the Jotuns fight the Aesir (THESE ARE GODS) and the world fucking blows up except for a few of the Gods, and is reborn a new with a couple random humans. The Aesir and Jotuns (GODS, OKAY???) in Geass = the UFN and Britannia. They are in conflict.
Now, the Emperor desires to kill Gods of conflict. Oshi- FUCKING AWESOME ANALYSIS SKILL HERE.
So basically, the “Lets slay the Gods” bullshit is an elaborate metaphor for “LETS KILL LARGE NATIONS WHO HAVE FIREPOWER”.
Based on the Korean blog shit, all of which is pretty much true anyway?!, the Emperor is going to use the Geass ruins to somehow cause the part of Ragnarok where the world gets destroyed and reborn. Meanwhile, Schneizel has been researching Geass and decided he fucking hates his dad. And Lelouch is being emo. The optimal solution would be that Lelouch, Schneizel + whoever in Britannia doesn’t follow his dad, the UFN, and the Black Knights have a cute kiss ‘n make up ‘n alliance, beat the fuck out of Charles somehow then get picky about the fact they’re working with these Britannian faggot princes afterwards. But lol, pride.
Let’s rehash this topic from last month: Schneizel and V.V., WHAT OF THEM?
V.V.’s Goals:
- Capture C.C.
- Slay the Gods
Schneizel’s Goals:
-

Disregard this, because Geass doesn’t actually make any sense, so they are actually brothers. Read more »
