nine years old, Lelouch, the eleventh prince of Britannia (a near-future version of the extra-large British Empire), witnessed his mother being brutally murdered by so-called "terrorists" and his sister had legs since then Disabled and blind, he went to ask the emperor angrily "Why didn't she protect her!" but was reprimanded as "the weak did not have the right to survive", and then was thrown into Japan as hostages with his sister Nanali. Finally spent a short while at Prime Minister Shuki’s house, and became friends with the Prime Minister’s son Shuque, but the war broke out on August 10, 2010. The Britanian Empire completely ignored this place in Japan. The political hostage brothers and sisters occupied Japan, obliterated the name of the country, and simply named it "11 districts." From that day on, under the blood-stained dusk, the young Lelouch vowed, "I must defeat Britannia!"
[ 01 ]
Seven years later, Lelouch concealed his identity from the anti-skeleton boy in the Tokyo concession . Live with my younger sister in the concession middle school opened by my mother's natal Ashford home. Consciously he is still a certain distance away from the goal of "overthrowing Britannia". He is usually just a colonial high school student who has excellent brainpower and poor physical strength and uses chess to pass the time. However, he accidentally picked up the mystery of long green hair in an accident. The girl CC, and entered into a contract with her, obtained a mysterious power called GEASS: Any object outside CC can be given an order and will definitely be obeyed. Others have "must look into the other person's eyes" and "effective distance is 270 meters". "Left and Right" reminds people of the accompanying rules of Death Note.
After that, he inherited the glorious tradition of "all are controlled by sisters" of the children of the Britannia family, and devoted himself to building a "world where Nanali can live happily", wearing a mask with the pseudonym "ZERO" ", using the power of GEASS, while pursuing the truth about the murder of his mother, while cultivating power: killed the governor of the 11th district and the third prince Kulovic, formed his own armed "Black Knights", and also obtained from Japan Recognized and supported by "Kyoto" at the rear of all resistance organizations. Those who used GEASS by him were not so lucky. A female student in the school who was used as a GEASS ability test guinea pig, but at most insisted on cutting the wall every day until the wall collapsed. Because of Lelouch’s orders, two imperial soldiers, a man and a woman, who committed dereliction of duty, caused a girlfriend "Qiancao" who played amnesia and turned into a fan of the deputy commander of the Black Knights. Wife bento; a large fan who was called ORANGE by his colleagues because of Lelouch’s casual "ORANGE incident", and was moved by his extremely declining fate. He loved it as "Orange Duke" or "Orange Duke", and finally returned It was simply overtaken by the second prince Xiuzener, and he was soaked in a mysterious liquid similar to orange juice with a naked posture that resembled Nezha ("X War" version) and transformed into a humanoid weapon (humanoid orange juicer?) The existence of...
[Zero 2] The green-haired witch who took the sponsorship of
Pizza X had revised the contract with Lulu CC at that time, and since then lived in his house, eating pizza or walking around idly every day. Lying casually, or talking to oneself (actually it seems to be engaging in mysterious spiritual communication), and often changing clothes and playing cross-dressing, the more and more it adds up to only three pieces of clothes and each of them is a male in the style of the wolf god. The protagonist Lulu Xiu is extremely sad.
In fact, judging from the first impressions from the promotional posters, OP screens, and CC’s appearance when she was locked in a metal sphere that looked like an experimental container and tied tightly all over her body, it’s easy for people to misunderstand her later image. It is the kind of three-no girl who loses his memory or pretends to lose his memory. However, what appeared in front of us afterwards was a queen who only looked like a girl, whose actual age was unknown, was keen on pizza and cross-dressing, often teased Lelouch and occasionally overflowed with motherhood.
This setting dispelled the old-fashioned feeling at the beginning of the story that "the youth gained power and was invincible", and made CC more active in promoting the plot. After Lelouch formed the Black Knights as "ZERO", she appeared in front of the members of the Knights (the mascot of the Knights?), and drove with him the body "GAWAIN" that they had snatched from the Second Prince. ". And in the messages of Yoshimitsu Katabata that has been revealed in the 25 episodes of the animation including the editor-in-chief, even though we still can’t touch the deepest truth, we still know that CC has gone through a long time and A tragic fate, knowing that she is related to a certain prehistoric civilization or even an alien civilization, knowing that she knows Lelouch’s mother Mariana, and knowing that she not only empowered Lelouch, but once this power is out of control, it will bring Come tragic consequences.
[Zero Three] Even though
Mao, the former contractor who stepped into the abyss CC without hesitation , was given the GEASS who "hears the voice of others within a certain distance" from a young age, but because he could not hold his own power, he would hear everyone around him at any time. He had to plug in his earphones all day long, and repeatedly play the voice of CC that he couldn't hear his heart. As a result, his crazy fascination with CC, which is "a mother and a lover", has deepened day by day. In order to regain CC from Lelouch, he kidnapped Nanali and vindictively broke through the deepest secret of Suzaku in the church. Finally, Lelouch used the GEASS command to seal his mouth and rushed out of the church in a panic, but it happened to hit him. On the muzzle of CC.
As clever as Lelouch, he can easily see his possible future from Mao’s fate, but even if he knows that the abyss is invisible, he still has to be contented, he must believe that his willpower can defeat GEASS, and he must continue. Let ZERO's black cloak fly more fiercely-since that is the road of Shura that he considers his destiny.
[Zero Four] When the world is only left with the devil and the witch
So in the end, it finally came to this step: when the vice-governor of District 11, Yufemia, the innocent and kind princess who knew the true identity of ZERO announced in public that he would establish a special administrative region of Japan, and restore their country name for the "11 district people". Lelouch, who was originally annoyed by Yuffi’s innocence and made the Black Knights lose his position, was finally moved by her to shake hands and make peace, but after a casual joke, he found that his GEASS had also lost control. The joke became an order, and Yuffi rushed out of the room after struggling, picked up the gun at the venue celebrating the establishment of the Japanese Special Administrative Region, and took the lead in killing.
Lu Lu Xiu, who came to the venue, saw blood flowing from all sides. The phrase he used to mock the Britanian nobles, "Don't regard the strength of reliance as your own strength", was fulfilled on himself and was dying. For the first time when a Japanese civilian as a savior seized and begged for rescue, he collapsed like this for the first time: "I am not a savior, not a Messiah!" But soon he found the knightmare body "Lancelot" that had been interfering with him. The driver was the same as when he was a childhood friend, Shuque, pushed himself back to reality, began to seek the best use of the status quo with an unusually calm, and finally killed Yufemia, who was still busy carrying out his orders with his gun: "Goodbye, Yuffi. Maybe it was first love."
Like Mao back then, the last thing he can face defenselessly is CC——"When the world was stained with blood and everything changed , The contract between the demon god and the witch will not change. The demon god is by the witch’s side, and the witch is by the demon god’s side.” (Official character book "CODE GEASS GRAPHICS ZERO")
[0 Five] The White Knight
Suzaku opposite the Black Prince , No. The third princess, the knight of Euphemia, the deputy governor of District 11, the male number two with the face of Li Xiaolang, the son of the former Japanese Prime Minister Shumu Xuanwu, the honorary Britanian, the classmate of Lulu Xiu (in Shandong Lu Xiu’s plan was supposed to be the knight of Nanali), and perhaps, the most contradictory existence in this story:
Although Lulu Xiu has a dark belly, he is actually just a pure sister-in-law. The core thinking of "everything is based on Nana Li's happiness" determines his thinking mode and moral bottom line in most cases, and because he is the protagonist, The inner world reveals the most to the audience, so feelings and thoughts are relatively easy to understand. And Suzaku, on the one hand, holds the ideal of "change the army and change the country from within" and obeys all the rules stubbornly-although he should be very clear, as a reputation that is actually treated the same as ordinary residents of District 11 It is basically impossible for Britanians to realize such an ideal-on the other hand, because of the secret that can't be revealed to anyone, they have a strong sense of guilt, and they always want to find a reason to die righteously. Atonement. This contradictory idea made him, who once accused the Black Knights of "the results obtained by wrong means of no meaning at all", got into the predicament of not getting any results at all, and made all his actions appear before the secrets were revealed. Very inexplicable and unreasonable. Until Lelouch used GEASS on him to order him to "live", and then he witnessed ZERO shooting Yufei. Afterwards, the mysterious boy VV (a relative of CC?) appeared in front of him. Suzaku dialed Lulu's phone with Yuffi’s cell phone. The dialogue was ambiguous, and it was not clear whether he already knew the identity of ZERO, or whether it was It’s not from VV that I got the power of GEASS. The 25 episodes of "CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Rebellion" are still to be continued. The final two episodes of this season will be aired in July, and the next season will be screened in October 2007. Things.
[0-6] The nostalgic Taniguchi
Gossip about the strange broadcasting arrangement of this film dates back to the year-end dispute in October 2006, and "Tianbao Ibian Monster" squeezed "Rebellious Lulu Xiu" to replace it. The position of "BLOOD+" (As a result, "Tianbao" was slashed after half a year and was replaced by the dead fish-eye superpower police film "Black Contractor"), so the play schedule of this story changed from 52 episodes in one breath. "Broadcast for half a year, take a break for half a year, and broadcast for another half a year." In addition, the unhurried SUNRISE company calmly made two episodes 8.5 and 17.5 in the short half-year archive. So the episodes 24 and 25 played in July are actually episodes 26 and 27.
Although this arrangement was a last resort, it was also quite an interesting setting for a topic like the rebellious Lulu Xiu with a climax of cute and corrupt talk. This is the first time in Taniguchi's supervisory career. From "Infinite RYVIUS" to "S·cry·ed", from "PLANET ES" to "GUN X SWORD", and now to "Lelouch of the Rebellion", Goro Taniguchi played all the skills he was good at. Whether it is a mockery of works of similar themes, or a side ball (needless to say, the meat-selling scene in "Lulu Xiu of the Rebellion", even a certain machine battle in "GUN X SWORD" is made very unsuitable for children), Using dialogue, plot rather than exaggerated expressions and actions to create extraordinary smiles, as well as the group of people he has worked with for a long time-
such as the person setting, the inverted triangle chin of the original CLAMP case and the original case of five heads and wide shoulders. Repaired to his own style (seeing that the hero of GXS only has one piece of clothing, forgive Lulu Xiu for the poor three pieces of clothing...) Kimura Takahiro, in this work, is like a reckless " The "broken" expressions of the characters are on sale." He definitely deserves his credit. For example, becoming famous in "Infinite RYVIUS", being a BOSS in "S cry ed", being a passerby face researcher in "GUN X SWORD", and being transformed into "Congratulations" in "Rebellious Lu Lu Xiu". And the "regretful" Snow Rabbit face scientist (also a scientific researcher) Earl Lloyd’s voice actor Shiratori Tetsu-Lloyd’s unique voice is not as good as Fukuyama Jun, who voiced Lelouch, from time to time to show his laughter to SHOCK, and the beginning It's a bit weird to listen, but it becomes addictive after listening too much. For example, the musicians Kotaro Nakagawa and HITIMO Kuroishi, who have worked together for many years, the vast and vast genre that Nakagawa is good at has excellently set off the "S·cry·ed" and "PLANET ES" galloping in the wild land and the distant universe. "And "GUN X SWORD", but in "Lu Lu Xiu of the Rebellion", which is set in the near future city, it is not easy to let go of it. At best, it is not lost. On the contrary, Miss Kuroishi HITIMO, who sang multiple episodes in "PLANET ES" and "GUN X SWORD", and Sakai Misaki, who wrote the inspirational and warm OP ED for "PLANET ES", wrote three insert songs. good.
The "Lu Lu Xiu of the Rebellion" that these people tossed out, because it was a topical work, so it was of course mixed reputation, but it also attracted audiences who scolded it or praised it and had to chase it. Needless to say, the various cute points that the otaku girls pay attention to, "Does Nanaly know the true identity of ZERO who is not used to the "Death Note" kind of "personal voice changer" that is blind but has excellent hearing.", "Does Sakishiko, the maid of Lelouch's family know the secret and what actions will be taken", "What is the connection between CC and the emperor and Lulu's mother Mariana", "The famous knightmare driver back then , "Why did the shining Mariana marry into the emperor’s house, and why did the "shining Mariana", who was also worshipped by the second emperor Cornelia, die?" A lot of mysteries, such as hidden or visible, have not yet been revealed, and there is one at the end of the show. The mysterious long-haired Chinese young man from the back--Although the look looks like he borrowed the old and cunning Taishi from Caiyunguo directly, there is a "Kyoto" girl Kagura who seems to be quiet and cold is actually a LOLI FAN of Lelouch "For a lesson, it’s hard to say that the young Chinese (?) will turn his head into a purple dragon, take off his clothes, and burn a small universe...
[Return to Zero] The Demon God’s way forward or end will
create a man who is more villainous than the villain. The protagonist seems to be the current fashion trend, and Lulu Xiu, who claims to be on the road of Shura, is often rejected by the audience as not being Shura or black-bellied or villainous. But this demon god who can only warm each other with the witch is actually just a high school student whose individual strength is so weak that he can't even dig a hole, a persistent and simple sister-controlled, and often sleeps in class.
This ZERO, no, Lu Lu Xiu, will be upset because she erased the memory of Xia Li, a girl in the class who always liked her but lost her father because of ZERO. The scattered photos and memories will never be tracked back; Decided to kill his sister Yu Fei and shed tears, but after that, the extraordinary composure seemed to do his best to cover up. Under the hoarse laughter, he wanted to become Shura, but he could not abandon the contradictions and sorrows of human nature.
This character that can determine fate is both strengths and weaknesses. It is the reason why Lelouch became Lelouch, and it is also the real foreshadowing that determines his next direction. The wait for half a year is not long. After another half a year of the story, what will be ushered in by the Rebellious Demon God, will it be the destruction of all return to zero, or a new life from scratch?
