R2 16: The calm before the shitstorm

Schneizel’s fabulous 30 seconds of screentime

• I think the pizza C.C. eats in China is a half and half pizza using the Mayo King pizza and the Purukogi pizza with a sausage roll crust from JP Pizza Hut.
• Apparently Lelouch put his contact back on inbetween leaving the World of C and the end of R2 15? Or, alternatively, the World of C is not actually “reality”. He had his contact on when he left reality, so he had it back when he came back to reality. Maybe this is related to how the Emperor escaped being trapped there too.
• Since the Knight of 10 is a jackass and he doesn’t have his own voice actor, does this mean he’s going to die next episode?
• There’s a Valkyrie group in the Brit military who use… pink Lancelots? …pink Lancelots? Pink Lancelots? Lloyd makes a lot of shit, but what the fuck guys, PINK LANCELOTS?
• Rolo looked kinda cool in his glasses and suit.
• Oh, and this chessboard setup? You can overanalyze it to fuck and back, but the tl;dr is that if it’s foreshadowing anything at all, it’s foreshadowing Lelouch living at the end, both sides losing a lot of people, and that Lelouch will bear the blood of the dead on his… erm, head.
• I think this has been a running joke among fans for a while. What the fuck is it with Australia? You can tell by that map that red = Britannia, blue = United Federation of Nations, orange-yellow = Euro Universe, so what’s up with Kangaroo Land? Our history is that Kangaroo Land was settled in by the Dutch, and later colonized by Great Britain. Did Europe never go there or something and the natives all died off then global warming started and it turned into a cancer-emitting beacon so the people there are mutants and no one wants to go there anyway? To think that people from the Code Geass universe might not have ever seen the cuteness that is a Koala… (Edit: Also what the fuck is the pink spot in the Middle East? Iraq became FABULOUS or what?)
• The closed caps said Prayer last week, and Freya this week. Make up your fucking minds. Maybe her bombs are powerful because it actually contains the power of a 1.49mil dmg Ether Strike. (Well, I guess that only makes sense for the US version…)

Overall, transitional episode is transitional. There’s other stuff to be said, mostly speculation based off of the Korean blog buuut I kind of want to go play Atlantica Online. >_>

How to capture C.C.

K srsly. When V.V. exclaims in R2 14 that he NOW KNOWS HOW TO CAPTURE C.C., I can only hope that its with this method.
