When I
first saw this animation, I thought it was the CLAMP version of Yagami Moon. Yes, Lelouch, Yue, they have too many similarities. The same high IQ makes them mediocre in everything around them, the same boring life makes no sense to them, the same dissatisfaction with the social status quo, and the same lofty aspirations, but their personal values cannot be displayed. However, one day, a miracle appeared, whether it was the gift of God or the temptation of the devil, no one could resist the power at their fingertips. They wanted to change the world and turn the gears of their own destiny. However, there must be gains and losses, and there must be a beginning and an end. What is the price of gaining strength, and what kind of ending does a beginning that changes everything end? The moon in "Death Note" gave us a tragedy, and I began to worry, Lu Luxiu, where does this Asura road you have embarked on lead to?
In the face of a father and emperor who ruled on the law of the weak and the strong, and a powerful Britannia Empire, Lu Luxiu chose to rebel. His original intention was very simple, to destroy the empire and build "a world where Nanali can live happily." ". To this end, LULU, who incarnated ZERO, formed the "Black Knights" with the slogan "Messenger of Justice", and stepped on the political stage with blood. However, does all this really make sense? Is it possible to build an ideal world at the cost of killing even innocent people's lives and blood and tears? What kind of world is "a world where Nanali can live happily"? It's just an imaginary realm.
This is not to doubt whether he can defeat the mighty Britannia Empire, but that LULU, who walks between the slits of goodwill and malice, can really maintain his pure original intention without being distorted, or is it a matter of grasping Without direction, even confused and depraved. Or in the end, after destroying an autocratic father and emperor, it is just another replacement, another emperor, and whether everything has really changed. Who is changing, the world, or LULU itself?
Moreover, the original intention of LULU itself is questionable. Really for NNL? Or an excuse for a personal ambition that he didn't even realize himself. An equal administrative district established by Yuffie for the colonial people did shake LULU a bit. It is just a naive administrative district that does not conform to the concept of reality at all. In an instant, there was an illusion of compromise. If it wasn't for the screenwriter who underestimated the receptivity of these nerds and rotten women, he found an excuse for LULU to get out of control by Geass, and the cruel words of warmth. Will LULU really embark on the road of recruiting security? If that's the case, then I really don't know how the plot will continue.
So, is Suzaku, the reconciler and reformer who is the opposite of the revolutionary subversive LULU, correct? His scolding has always been very high, and I dare not risk the world to support him. More importantly, his views are indeed irresistible. He nag said at least three times that "the results obtained by the wrong means are meaningless." Therefore, holding the ideal of "changing the army from the inside, changing the country", he stubbornly followed all the rules and followed the rules. However, as an honorary Brittanian, it is simply unrealistic to want to achieve that ideal. If it wasn't for luck to pick a Lancelot without a master out of thin air, and to become the princess' knight because of Yuffie's nepotism, I really don't know how long this white knight who acted in the right way would be a "second class". Even now, Suzaku is just a tool used by the Empire as a part of Lancelot. Apart from making a small disturbance for LULU's actions, it is really hard to see his personal ideals displayed. Even if it is really possible to rely on strength to establish a foundation within the empire and gain power and power, will this road be distorted in the process? Reform, its prerequisite is the seizure of rights, and the seizure of rights itself is a very cruel thing, any moral bottom line, Yao and Tang Zen positions are unrealistic hypocrisy to deceive children. To embark on this road, its price may not be less than what LULU has to pay. What's more, even LULU, who plays the role of the Demon King, is not black enough, let alone Suzaku, who has a benevolent face (as it seems). If he wants to improve, he really will not deviate from the starting point, will not be assimilated by reality, can he really maintain the belief in "justice" in his heart?
Fortunately, this is not an adult animation after all, no matter LULU or Suzaku, in any case, they are not thorough political practitioners, they are just some children with aspirations, pursuits, and persistent efforts to realize them, troubled times. Build a stage for them to grow and let them work hard for their different goals. They are far from evil, and they are far from ambitious. They still have a well-meaning "ideal world" in their hearts. As said at the end of the film:
"Since this is the case, we should be grateful now. Yes, at least, for the fact that human beings are the pursuit of happiness."
