The roar of the victims of an era

I finished watching the first season of the rebellious Lu Luxiu today, this is heartbreaking! Write some insights.

Every time the times change and the situation changes, there will be sacrifices. These victims are the source of tragedy.

Lelouch and Nanali are two of them. Due to the assassination of her mother, Nanali was disabled, and her father regarded her as weak and abandoned her. In order to create a better life and the dignity she deserved, Lelouch vowed to destroy Britannia. , kill the father. The starting point of all this is Lelouch's love for Nanali and the pursuit of this little happiness (also explained at the end of the ending). But the sacrifices of the times are not accepted, because apart from them, most people live a relatively comfortable and happy life, even the defeated "11 district residents", although they are similar to sacrifices, but they are only subjected to like Discrimination like black Americans without losing everything (and much better than blacks). At this time, ZERO appeared, as the leader of the resistance army, the hope of the "11 District Citizens", and with his ingenuity and [Geass] repeatedly defeated his sister - Konelia.

But an accident happened, and the situation that [Geass] could not be closed suddenly came, which led to the death of Yuffie, which made Suzaku, Gonella and Lily almost crazy, and they all tried to kill ZERO. In the process, not only his classmates were hostile to him, but the Britannian officers also resisted stubbornly with their determination to swear allegiance to Brittany. The actions of all of them are understandable, Lu Luxiu is for Nanali, Suzaku, Gonelia and Lily for Yuffie, the classmates are for Suzaku and self-righteousness, the officers are for their own country, CC is for what I don't know either (haven't watched season 2 after all). These are understandable, but it is a pity that as a victim of the times, it seems to be out of tune with the world. If you are not willing to become a sacrifice and stand up to resist, you will definitely break the harmonious society outside and be regarded as terrorists and enemies. His revenge also requires sacrifice, but his strength is limited and his weaknesses are obvious (Nanali), and he is eventually defeated.

I'm on ZERO's side. Whenever I hear ZERO (not only referring to Lelouch appearing as ZERO, but also making phone calls, etc.), I can feel the furious roar of a victim. Especially Lelouch's laughter, I think it is the most lethal place in the whole anime. But those people outside can't hear, or deaf (Victim? Humph! Who cares!) Whenever I see other people fighting to the death against ZERO for their own justice and happiness, I feel sick. Is the fate of the victims of the times so tragic? They have been abandoned, and they have to shoulder infamy when they stand up. They are knocked down by the "just" side, and they are reduced to the scum of history. Can't you all hear that roar? Why can only I hear it! !

All in all, "Rebel Lulu Xiu" is a rare and excellent animation. Everyone has their own opinions, and the places that resonate vary from person to person. I hope everyone can enjoy this animation.
