Code Geass is stupid. But how stupid? Let’s find out together.

The viewer demographic for Code Geass, in all its glory.

Episode VI – Porn is the Mindkiller

• Is this Japan? Is this the Land of the Rising Sun? Looks way too Greek to me, not that the writers would know.
• Damn, that poor attendant had to walk, like, six zillion miles just to tell the Emperor one line of dialog.
  • “I survived another workout that could’ve been an email.”
    • Someone make a t-shirt of it.
• “I was just talking to Clovis right now.” -The Emperor
  • “Holy shit, my boss might be crazy.” -This random-ass attendant.
    • Also, how can he see in that thing? It’s the least functional uniform ever.
• POINTLESS FORESHADOWING IS POINTLESS.
• “The Stolen Mask.”
  • Shit, this is the filler episode, isn’t it?
    • Must. Find. Morphine.
• The insignificant students of the Palace of the Ashfords spend their three seconds of screentime asking insignificant yet highly salient questions.
  • What an apt metaphor for human existence.
• “Even so, he seems kinda suspicious, doesn’t he?” -This random-ass student
  • Why? There are least half a dozen guys with the same basic features as MSGT, plus he’s wearing a carbon copy of your outfit. How does he seem suspicious? Is his laptop a Mooglebook?
• They think MSGT might be a terrorist. They’re awfully calm for considering such a brazen thing.
• “Even the school can confirm that [Suzaku isn’t a terrorist].” -This other random-ass student
  • Gee, man, I dunno. I think only about three people on this planet have brains. None of them are in this room.
    • Remember: this is the Empire that put Jeremiah Gottwald in military command of an entire colony of 120 million people. Your faith may be misplaced.
• God, this entire scene is a bunch of lazy one-liners that repeat the same goddamn information over and over.
  • BIGOTED RICH STUDENTS ARE AFRAID OF SOMEONE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THEM. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
    • Nina Einstein continues her meteoric rise into the ranks of “Worst Human Beings Who Have Ever Lived.”
• Shirley suggests the radical idea that they treat MSGT like a human being.
  • Bitch is gonna die.
• Lelouch learned his spy tradecraft from Sesame Street.
  • Gee, I hope no one was watching Lelouch as he left, especially the three other students that were two feet away from him in the frame.
    • I also hope no one was watching MSGT’s reaction to him.
• And nobody follows the extremely suspicious couple up to the roof.
• GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.
  • I refuse to believe they had such a specific sign for a specific thing when they were bratty children.
• Why did he just say “capsule”? Does the Japanese language not have a word for “capsule,” “container,” or anything of the sort?
  • Hmm, I guess not. English’s domination of all things in this world is getting kinda crazy.
• Oh yeah, the girl. Whom Lelouch completely forgot about. Because the writers completely forgot about her. Lelouch did not move her or tend to her whatsoever. He just took off in Villetta’s retarded war-machine and left ALL the women behind. Where they belong.
  • Including you, MSGT, but please, continue telling us how you’re repaying Lelouche for his wonderful kindness.
    • Lelouch lies through his teeth. Again.
• This highly suspicious scenario with a billion elements left totally unexplained will now be ignored. Again.
• Wait, when did Lelouch get the chance to fake his own death? How did that happen? When?
  • Yeah, *nobody* in the entire Holy Britannia(n) Empire would wonder why a student using his mother’s name and who’s around the age of the supposedly deceased Lelouch vi Britannia shows up randomly under the protection of the Ashford family, a long-time ally of Lelouch’s mother. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur.
    • See what I mean, random-ass student? Your question was pointless. As were you.
      • By the way, do you know what a bee is? I’m conducting a poll.
• Lelouch questions why MSGT has made a number of incredibly poor decisions. Lelouch, a “brilliant” tactician and strategist, does not learn from his mistakes.
• Lol. So for no reason whatsoever, the writers retcon the events of the very last episode and heavily imply that Euphemia intervened on MSGT’s behalf. Except that MSGT’s court-martial had already been cancelled, all charges dismissed, and MSGT released before he even met Euphemia. It was precisely that chain of events that led to his meeting Euphemia.
  • I don’t. Even. What.
    • These writers can’t even keep track of what happened two hours ago. Are they all alcoholics?
• Oh look, there’s a picture of Lelouch right there in the fucking Royal Palace. But no one has seen him before or recognizes him.
  • I wonder if Euphemia knows what a bee is.
• Great job, Lelouch. You murdered a prolific and talented artist in cold blood because revenge and reasons and stuff.
  • And not because he was a wanna-be mass murderer. You didn’t give two shits about that.
    • Ra ra, Lelouch.
• Euphemia touches the extremely priceless painting, the last mementos of her dead brother, because that’s exactly what you want to do to such fragile material: smudge your oily human fingers all over it.
  • Sigh. No one cares about art anymore.
• For the purposes of propaganda, Euphemia will never be told that her “gentle” brother tried to massacre forty million people shortly before he died.
  • Euphemia is a terrible judge of character. Just like every other female character on this show. Because women, and women have no brains. Science says so.
• Switch to random military situation room, providing us a blindingly useless layout of a battlefield that conveys no tactically relevant information whatsoever.
  • This show dragged Sloth from the depths of Hades and made love to its sweet face in an orgy that will never be surpassed again.
• The Britannimerican commander pauses to give a speech about information that everyone in the room already knows.
  • Behold the caliber of the Imperial War Machine, conqueror of nations.
• These guerrillas suck. Whoever they are.
  • Like, they install their gun turrets on flat, exposed concrete slabs on a hillside instead of just burying them into the hillside where the earth would protect them.
    • Let me guess: the animators didn’t want to bother drawing anything more complicated.
• Um, how did anybody not know the guerrillas were there? That is the most conspicuous hideout I’ve ever seen.
  • It looks like a goddamn anthill.
  • 
    • “I say, Earnest, I wonder why that hill has all those guns on it.”
    • “I couldn’t hazard a guess, Elliot. Would you like some cheese with your wine?”
• These idiots keep acting like Knightmares were invented today at 1300 hours.
  • I will remind you there have been six previous generations of them.
• Does Cornelia seriously have nothing better to do than run around mopping up hideouts that a two-year-old could spot? Is the Britannimerican military that helpless without its named characters?
  • Yes.
• That was a complete waste of time, fuel, resources, and ammunition. The tanks would’ve just blown up the fortifications anyway.
  • What a spectacular advancement of human technology. War will never be the same.
• Somehow, in this universe, melee beats ranged.
  • Hey, Riot. I think your balance team might be interested in this.
• Those bullets did not miss Cornelia. The animators just didn’t want to animate explosions. One-sided battles are soooooooooooooooo exciting.
  • Are you excited yet? If not, go kill yourself.
• Cornelia charges alone into a guerrilla labyrinth and dismisses any offer of backup when she has no idea how many enemies are inside, what equipment they have, or what kind of traps or defenses they might have prepared ahead of time.
  • This massive mountain apparently holds a small room filled with…railroads?
    • Huh?
• Cornelia then looks around for literally two seconds and concludes “Zero must not be here.” Indubitably, Mrs. Holmes.
  • I honestly cannot be surprised anymore by how lazy these writers can get.
• Cornelia casually says that killing them one-by-one wouldn’t accomplish anything, then proceeds to kill them all one-by-one.
  • Filler level: Code Geass.
• Lelouch was just sitting here in this empty dining room waiting for Nunnally to show up with Sayoko. It’s almost like he read a script or something.
• Nunnally can identify who MSGT is by feeling the texture of his hand, but can’t suspect some random woman who steals into her house in the middle of the knight and eats her food.
• “You’ll stay the night here, won’t you, Suzaku?” -Nunnally vi Britannia
  • “Yes, in Lelouch’s room.”
  • “Oh. That must be nice.”
  • “Uh, yeah. Very.” *wink*
    • I’m bored. Sue me.
• Sayoko is one hell of a maid. She prepared that spread in three seconds. Ninjas OP.
• Nunnally vi Britannia is the 340982790847098573098547087th person to ask MSGT why the fuck he’s still in the Britannimerican military.
  • MSGT must know what a bee is.
• MSGT lies through his teeth. Again.
  • Lelouch is not fooled, considering he knows the status of MSGT’s addled nervous system.
    • Man, Nunnally, you haven’t even had your first period and your whole life is one pernicious lie. Someone’s future therapist is a rich man.
• “You’ve really mellowed since then.” -Lelouch vi Britannia
  • Somehow it hard to picture MSGT as some precocious asshole. I think he was probably just a slightly less stupid kid than he is now.
  • “And you’ve gotten a lot rougher.” – MSGT
    • *wink*
• Gee, I do hope the superhumanly endowed MSGT can’t hear this incredibly sensitive conversation between Lelouch and C.C. going on in the room next to him, the room that isn’t even separated by a door.
• BA HA HA HA. Lelouch asserts he has friends.
  • Silly anime protagonist. Nobody likes you.
• Jesus H. Christ, Jeremiah Gottwald has become an extra on a Saw film.
  • Doesn’t the Holy Britannia(n) Empire have less ridiculous restraining devices than white straight jackets bought from Serial Killers Limited?
    • Also, why is Jeremiah Gottwald so cleanly shaven? Do they shave it for him? I don’t think he can shave properly while his abdomen is being crushed by three leather belts.
      • Real answer: the animators went home at one o’clock in the afternoon.
• Turns out, nobody likes Jeremiah Gottwald. How unexpected.
• Yes, Jeremiah Gottwald did allow the terrorists to escape in a series of behavior and events that could best be described as a “psychotic episode.” So either Jeremiah Gottwald should be talking to a therapist or they should be investigating why several of their high-level personnel have all had such bizarre episodes in a very short amount of time for no reason.
  • But that would require brains, which go for $20 billion each on the Britannimerican black market.
• I’m sorry, Jeremiah Gottwald was not demoted three ranks, unless “margrave” is an actual rank in the Holy Britannia(n) Empire. If it is, they’re dumb and should feel very bad about themselves.
• Wait, so, Jeremiah Gottwald has to either go back to being a pilot or…”cultivate an orange farm?” Is that a veiled threat of forced early retirement? Really? Why are you even allowing such an inimitable moron to remain in your ranks at all?
• Yes, MSGT, you would be in bad shape if anyone searched Moogle and put two and two together and suspected the very obvious connection between you and Lelouch, but you should also have figured out by now that no one possesses the faculties to do that. So who the fuck cares.
• I think maybe two people at the school know of Nunnally know of her very existence.
  • Which is the perfect environment for a traumatized adolescent girl to be in.
    • Wait, is Nunnally faking all this? Is she a violent sociopath just like everyone else? I sure fucking hope so, for her sake.
• LELOUCH RAGES. It’s cute.
• WHY ARE THEY STILL WEARING THEIR SCHOOL UNIFORMS AT MIDNIGHT? DON’T THESE PEOPLE CHANGE? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH–
• Gee, C.C, I hope nobody notices your brightly lit figure with your florescent green hair from that window. Certainly not any Britannimerican security personnel from the Capitol Building that’s down the fucking street.
• Just to be clear, we have another scene in which every Britannimerican student reaffirms their undying racism.
• Um, how did the Japanese guerrillas infiltrate the Palace of the Ashfords? Why? Did Kallen Stadtfeld’s Derriere help them out?
• Oh look, there’s a huge Japanese flag on the wall there. I wonder who these people could be. Really.
• That asshole guerrilla group named themselves “Blood of the Samurai.” They should’ve named themselves “Lords of the Anthill.” Or something.
  • If they were your largest resistance group in central Japan, then your resistance isn’t long for this world, Ohgi.
• This episode is SO BOOOOOOOORING.
  • They even keep playing the same goddamn music over and over and over again. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
• Gee, Lelouch, I do hope the Holy Britannia(n) Empire isn’t monitoring your personal cellphone or the Internet.
• Um. So….wait, those weren’t Japanese fighters–even though they looked exactly like some of them. They were just asshole students who defaced MSGT’s shirt. Oh.
  • Yeah, none of the Japanese viewers were able to read that. But good try, animators. Good try.
• Nina and Nunnally have a scene together. Made extremely awkward by what a nightmarish psychological case study Nina is.
  • But she’s also the single most interesting character in this whole series precisely because the writers allow her to be a bad person, instead of glossing over her flaws like they do with everyone else.
    • MSGT and Lelouch could have have sex in Nunnally’s bedroom after slaughtering a small village, but the writers would still find some way to spin it in their favor.
• Mama loves Pizza Hut, Pizza Hut, Pizza Hut. Mama loves Pizza Hut and dat check.
• Geez, I hope nobody notices the very conspicuous C.C. answer the fucking front door.
• Lelouch shows off his brilliance by storing all the incriminating evidence about his alternate ego in his bedroom.
  • But he painstakingly points this out to the viewer, who is apparently too dumb to draw this conclusion on his own.
• Did that scene seriously just happen?
  • So, the cat teleported all the way over to the mask, opened it in 0.5 seconds, fished out the mask, then left the room with it in 0.3 seconds, all without making any sound or C.C., a magical immortal witch who’s been alive for hundreds of years, noticing any of this?
    • Lazy fucks.
      • And that is one badass cat.
• Either Lelouch never changes his clothes or he has ten copies of that one uniform. Either way, this is retarded.
• Lelouch has a heart attack because something is finally happening in this shitfest of an episode.
  • Lelouch is also baffled by how leaving such horrifically incriminating evidence lying around unsecured is leading to disaster.
• C.C., act a little more concerned about your entire plan and identity being exposed.
  • Or you can just keep being an unlikable robot. Because you’re a woman, and women do not have personalities. Science says so.
• They’re going to keep this music on loop, aren’t they? I’m gonna go blow my brains out. Be right back.
• Wait, how did Nunnally know it was a cat that took something? The cat did not meow there. She couldn’t see the cat. So…
  • I don’t even. Fuck this shit.
• “What could be so important to Lelouch?” -Rivalz
  • “A love letter?” -Nina Einstein
    • (Porn.)
  • “An embarrassing photo?” -Milly Ashford
    • (Definitely porn.)
      • Also, don’t be a dumbass, Milly. Photos aren’t physical media. Who does that.
  • “A poetry notebook!” -Rivalz
    • OHMIGOD YOU RETARDS IT’S PORN BE TEENAGERS FOR ONCE.
• Milly Ashford actually enlists the resources of the entire school, which is busily educating the next generation of world leaders, into hunting down what is likely a porn stash. All for her personal amusement.
  • Is this satire now? Is this a subtle commentary on conspicuous consumption or something?
• Lelouch actually considers enlisting the resources of a Japanese terrorist group to fix a mess that someone of his supposed intellectual caliber would’ve never allowed to happen in the first place.
• Wait, how did the cat get up to the roof in five seconds? No cat moves that fast, certainly not one blind and confused as fuck. Not to mention it has an injured paw.
  • Maybe the cat knows what a bee is.
• The cat lands on the injured paw from two stories up. Now, I know cats can fall from relatively high places without injury, but not when it’s limping.
• LOL, that one Britannimerican asshole is just staring at the wall.
  • 
    • He’s staring at the grey wall for no reason. There’s not even a picture there for him to stare at it. He’s just stoned out of his gourd.
      • The purpose of his entire existence is to stand in that pose so that he doesn’t see the cat. He’s less important than an ant.
        • GOD DOESN’T LOVE YOU.
• CONTINUITY ALERT! CONTINUITY ALERT!
  • So in the above scene, the cat proceeds to walk down to the left while a conversation is being heard. Then somehow the scene shifts to an ENTIRELY NEW HALLWAY that looks NOTHING LIKE the one you see above as the conversation finishes. The entrance and those students frozen in time all vanish and we see two other assholes. This all happens in the space of four seconds.
    • Photographic evidence of alien teleportation:
      • 
    • And it suddenly has golden wall fringes between the windows.
      • These animators suck balls.
• HMMM. ZERO’S MASK APPEARS AT SCHOOL. NEURONLESS STUDENTS DO NOT SUSPECT ZERO MIGHT BE AT THEIR SCHOOL.
• Lelouch haphazardly uses his magical mind-screwing power on those two girls while shouting. I do hope the three other students standing two feet away didn’t hear or see any of that.
  • Nah, they’re staring into space and tripping on some fancy schmancy weed.
• “Capture the cat which is running loose on campus!” -Milly Ashford
  • This campus is the size of a small city and filled with greenspace. There could be a dozen or two cats running around it. Be more specific, woman.
• Yes, this seems like a totally reasonable way of not only suspending scholastic activities, but also DOLING OUT BUDGETARY FAVORS.
  • YAAAAAAAAAAY INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION.
    • Britannimericans sure learn early.
• Oh. So the grand prize is a kiss from a member of the student council. Okay.
  • Who cares?
    • Are you implying the school gives a shit about the nerds on the council?
      • Let’s consider the students’ options here. We have:
        • Milly Ashford, because men are perverts.
        • Shirley, because men are perverts.
        • Kallen Stadtfeld’s Derriere, because men are perverts.
        • Lelouch Lamperouge, because women totally like emasculated closeted gay men.
        • Nina Einstein, because lesbians.
        • Rivalz. ………no.
    • Upon review, we have concluded that this is actually a very devious, inclusive, and effective motivational scheme. We salute you, Milly Ashford.
• Literally two dozen men apparate into the bushes surrounding Kallen Stadtfeld’s Derriere, implying literally two dozen men are stalking her at all times on campus.
  • This seems like an absurdly low number.
• LOL. LESBIANS. I KNEW THEY EXIST.
• Random Britannimerican football team. Because the very unique sport of American football developed in this universe. Not soccer. Yeah.
  • Fuck you.
• This is actually the most entertaining the show has been so far. They’re certainly making up for the useless first half.
• Kallen Stadtfeld’s Derriere reaffirms her undying racism.
• Now Nunnally suddenly has super-accurate hearing for the convenience of the plot, even though she couldn’t sense her brother dragging a mysterious woman into his room.
  • Fuck you.
• Cecile has no situational awareness whatsoever.
• Lloyd gripes about how a school does not want a giant weapon of war parked anywhere near it.
• Why is Rivalz even allowed to drive his motorcycle on campus?
• Oh. So the two female leads somehow corner the cat after changing in a frantic hurry and nobody else finds it. Right. Sure.
  • The plot always gets what it wants.
• Shirley is distracted by lesbian fantasies. Christ, woman, focus for five seconds.
• THE CAT LITERALLY DOES NOT MAKE ANY SOUNDS WITH ITS FOOTPRINTS. NUNNALLY IS FULL OF SHIT.
  • AND THEN IT TELEPORTS TO ANOTHER BUILDING. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON.
• Lelouch should be dead after running so much.
• Awww yeah, Nina knows what’s going on. Bow-chicka-bow-wow.
• The racists are still stunned after MSGT saved someone’s life in front of their eyes. Wow.
• MILLY ASHFORD WANTS LELOUCH’S PORN.
  • But no one else does. Sigh.
• Lelouch reveals incredibly sensitive information that he has no reason to reveal at all.
• Nina Einstein reaffirms her undying racism.
• And now Lelouch is putting MSGT on the council because fuck it he’s his gay lover.
• “How can I refuse a request from the vice-president?” -Milly Ashford
  • Uh, it’s literally your job, president.
• Oh, yeah, Nunnally’s on the council too.
  • ….I take back what I said about Milly’s promise to the school. That’s disgusting.
• Rivalz the Student Council Member once again proposes underage drinking in front of a hundred other students.
  • I also take back what I said about Rivalz. This dude must get laid every day.
• Prince Clovis’ state funeral is surprisingly austere and lacking Jeremiah Gottwald’s decapitated head.
  • Also, nobody gives two fucks.
• That is one fucking huge portrait of Prince Clovis. It is three stories tall.
  • Seriously, it is three stories tall.
• Sweeping shots of the Britannimerican Royal Family, exactly two of which we will see again.
• The Emperor professes his undying Social Darwinism.
  • He then defends this via weak stereotypes and baseless assertions.
• Kotomine Kirei is the only Britannimerican in the entire Empire who isn’t giving this bullshit the time of day.
• Jeremiah Gottwald is still alive and serving the Britannimerican military because pixies.
• Lloyd says something cute. Awww.
• I’m pretty sure the other superpowers of the world are also moving forward, Emperor Fatshanks.
  • That is his name now.
• Clovis’ death served zero evolutionary purpose. His Royal Genocide did not have to die had anyone been paying the slightest bit of attention.
• Emperor Fatshanks preaches about stealing, competing, acquiring, and dominating things, ignoring how any effective nation relies on people not doing that to a certain degree.
• AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHRU HAAAAAAAIRU BURITAHNNIA!!!!!!
  • Most inspiring slogan evah.
• Don’t worry, everyone. MSGT will reform this system from within. He can do it.
  • (Ten bucks on Emperor Fatshanks.)
