Bam Bam Romance
I was digging through my hard drive and found this picture in my hueg Geass dump.
I’m not particularly fond of either of them, I don’t really bother to try and “understand” their romance, and I was in the “I HOPE OUGI JUST DIED” crowd when Lelouch blew up Fuji-san. Buuut, the two of them have both progressed and changed despite being shoved into their side character roles. Even though the fact that Villetta is a commoner was kind of shoved into the supplementary materials and not really made a point of in the anime itself (I guess you were supposed to maybe draw the conclusion from how she can make homemade lunch boxes and shit without the supplementary to help you), she has gone from trying to deny her commoner past to giving up her “blah blah status is everything” attitude. Ougi meanwhile went from being a spineless faggot baaawing about Naoto and kinda doing what people wanted him to do and being that “normal guy”, to taking a stand and beating up Diethard because his woman was being held hostage. In a cast as large as Geass’s, I think the fact that they both changed and are able to show that change is super awesome! Unfortunately(?), Ougi’s change decided to show itself at a shitty time, and the result = who gives a fuck about you two or your kid.
(Btw, Ougi doesn’t really bother me because due to his character changes, Schneizel’s black hole of intelligence managed to go off without a hitch on the Black Knights.)
