Code Geass R2 21 - I Liked It Better When It Was Called Third Impact
Really? Your grand master plan is the same old “rid the barriers of humanity” crap that every other villain uses? Weren’t you the one that said “men are not created equally,” and now you’re going to make them all equal? Way to be a hypocrite, Emperor. I bet you’re going to say you love your children now too…damn it.
I’m sorry Lelouch, but your mother is a whore.
I still want to know why they keep using Jupiter as World of C/God/Collective Unconscious/whatever. Jupiter just makes it even more confusing, especially when you can apparently geass an entire planet too.
Note to future supervillains, do the right thing and don’t abandon your kids. They’ll probably be just as smart as you and with even more of an ax to grind.
The Emperor finally fulfills his dream of being superman moments before his death. How did he launch himself near horizontally without any legs?
Spinzaku Hurricane Drop Kick!
So now Lelouch is the Emperor and Suzaku is his heterosexual life partner again. Really, I see no problem with Lelouch being Emperor now. This whole time he’s just been using others as excuses to cover up his own ambition. Even without them it’s still natural for him to aim for the top. I just don’t know why Suzaku is there. His hurricane kick must get its spin power from him changing his mind so much.
Not exactly an original idea, since Taniguchi himself used it in another show not that long ago, but for some reason that doesn’t bother me that much. Reminds me that I have to re-watch Evangelion at some point though.
I think the Emperor’s behavior does make some sense…he was a hypocrite, but you could say that was his point: because of his tragic past ™, he was knowingly trolling everyone to act like the Darwinists they are at heart instead of having to lie for the sake of morality, while he worked on something that would go beyond that anyways.
The superman/psycho crusher attempt was pretty funny to see, can’t deny it.
It’s kinda obvious why Suzaku is there, out of universe, but I can more or less see what they did there…his way of thinking is closer to Lelouch’s than ever and even if he may take revenge for Euphie further down the line (or not), right now it’s not a bad idea to work with Lelouch now that he understands what was going on.

Speculatively, perhaps it’s Jupiter because he was in charge of the Roman pantheon.

“I still want to know why they keep using Jupiter as World of C/God/Collective Unconscious/whatever.”
Go watch the original Solaris.

Are you talking about the Andrei Tarkovsky film, or are you thinking of 2001: A Space Odyssey instead?
