In S1 05, Lelouch returns home and finds Nunnally and C.C. making paper crane origami. C.C. has finished a blue one, which she then sets aside and takes up a pink sheet of paper. The pink sheet gets folded once, then Lelouch breaks her tea cup as an excuse to drag her away. By R2 25, C.C. is seen with a pink crane finished. It’s my opinion that the completed pink crane is symbolic to her relationship with Lelouch being “completed” as well, as he once interrupted her from making it. I also interpret this as a sign that Lelouch is dead~ How else could she complete the crane otherwise? Fuckin’ meddling kid.
I’ve had some time… and really, I can’t rage.
I mean, the joke about Tamaki’s VA on the bar sign, the reference to S1 with Orange becoming a fucking orange farmer on a plantation, Orange jumping out of an exploding mech (which jumped out of an exploding mech itself) to knife a loli, the irony of Lelouch dying, when this series took off because he had a reason to live, the irony of C.C. and Suzaku surviving, when they were the 2 who wanted to die for a long time, Schneizel’s spiffy gray suit, and of course, the frequently misspelled writing hatfucking porn.
The character who I cared about finished his run in R2 24, and I “understand” him and feel his story was fitting. The rest of the Geassverse just… fails to catch my attention here.
Anyway, the Encode is taking the longest for subbing today, so here’s me being emo. 
Blame /a/ for this being in the sub.
So if Schneizel recognizes that Lelouch = Zero, and also recognizes the guy in the suit = Zero… Seriously what’s going through his head in this scene? This could’ve been a fucking hilarious comedy.
CC: I’ve seen…
CC: I’ve always seen…
CC: That fighting is in the history of people… {that’s what schneizel said D:}
The {} = note from the translator.
…even Xabin notices some similarity between Schneizel and C.C. :D
Was there a rest of the episode? I don’t even know.
Okay frequently misspelled, time to live up to your hat porn.
Last Kannon sighting, about 1/2 way through the episode. D:
Edit: I’ve decided that Kannon was in-between Gino and Kallen on the prisoner line up.
lol seriously, stairs.
rip suzaku(?)
or not
rip lelouch
I predict R2 25 will have roses, yaoi, rainbows, and that ED2 will play.
#1: Schneizel lives. Betting with frequently misspelled.
Winning Condition: frequently misspelled has to write Schneizel x Kannon’s Hat fic.
Losing Condition: Nothing.
Time Limit: TONIGHT, BITCHES.
#2: Kannon is Naoto. (Bonus: He’ll remember he’s Naoto from the Refrain and give Kallen a HOT BLOODED speech to help her defeat Suzaku.) Betting with… no one, really.
Winning Condition: Nothing.
Losing Condition: I buy Mandoric, Eej, Zorak and TheFluff matching Antique Bakery avatars for SA.
Time Limit: The 9th R2 Picture Drama
I am now betting with frequently misspelled that Schneizel lives to the end of the series.
If he loses, he has to write Schneizel x Kannon’s Hat fanfic.
If he wins, I don’t have to lift a finger.
Aww yeah.

Allow me to translate these for you:
23: “Lelouch gets symbolically raped by Schneizel.”
24: “Lelouch gets symbolically raped by Schneizel and FLEIA’s.”
25: “Lelouch gets raped for real by Suzaku.”
(That is more or less what they all say. Really.)
