Ragnarok
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.
