You know, I literally just finished Code Geass 10 minutes ago. Fucking amazing ending. Seriously though, the thing that annoyed me with Lelouch was that he never admitted to being wrong. If he made a mistake, even if admitting it would help him, he says "No, it was all according to plan." For exampleMaxTheReaper said:
With Euphy's death, and him accidentally using the Geass on her. Afterwards, in all the numerous times Suzaku confronted him, he could have said that he used Geass on her accidentally. Suzaku may not have believed him, but the things that Lelouch actually ended up saying made him look even worse than he was, if that were possible. Hell, most of that was before he even hatched his master make-everyone-hate-me-to-unite-the-world plan, so he doesn't even have that excuse.
Hell, even when Nunnally, the one person he loved, confronted him, asking "You did it all for me, didn't you?", he ridiculed her for saying it, even though it was the fact that he was doing it for her which led to his defeat on three separate occasions.

About Suzaku, I thought they actually subverted the stereotype fairly well. At the very least, they gave him a very compelling reason to be that stereotype; he wasn't suicidally heroic because he cared so much for people (although he did), he was because he felt he deserved to be punished, hence why he joined Britannia in the first place and always took the most dangerous assignments. Really makes the one time Lelouch used the Geass on him really ironic, when you think about it.
damn you! I was gonna call Harima! Well I guess for me the next best thing is Sven from Black CatCasual Shinji said:Harima Kenji is the coolest guy this side of the anime universe.
@ the spoilers: You know, I hadn't thought of that. That's actually quite an interesting character flaw.MaxTheReaper said:
As for Suzaku, you missed my point. Most heros become those heros out of pure bloody altruism, despite the dangers. Suzaku did it because of the dangers. He was ashamed of his past, so he wanted desperately to die. Hell, he wanted worse than to die. He wanted to be completely punished. That's why, rather than suiciding, he joined Britannia, knowing that he'd have the worst of both worlds: scorn from fellow Elevens because he betrayed them, but still seen as inferior by the Britannians.
I actually think that his altruism grew up around that as a means of justifying his actions to himself. The point is, however, that his altruism wasn't the reason for his heroism, his heroism was the reason for his altruism.
As long as you aren't using that for serious anime bashing, I enjoy jokes about our lovable spiky-haired absurdly attractive mech-piloting anime protagonists.Arawn.Chernobog said:Kenshiro
Because he's closer to a Western (slightly-homo-erotic) badass as you can find in the anime real of sexually undecided teenagers who haven't grasped the concept of a "Male" Wardrobe yet... (which is usually composed of NO SHIRT and NEEDS MORE FIST WRAPPING!)

If it was serious, on the other hand, I would have Divine Bustered you by now.
Fair enough. And yeah, that is interesting. By the way, when Lelouch started taking off his helmet in the Knightmares, I had this strange sense of deja vu. It took me around 5 episodes before I realized you used to have that as your avatar.MaxTheReaper said:
How odd. I hate Lelouch (although he's really, really interesting), but love Suzaku, Kallen, Nunnaly, Cornelia, Ogi, Euphy...you know, just pretty much everyone but him.MaxTheReaper said:
