Nice episode, about the false classmate. Whether it is kallen or lelouch is the big question.
And I don't have to repeat again how Lelouch is like the villain taking down the prince Clovis. Clovis seems like too naive for this world, and I would certainly kill him, cause he killed lots of Elevens Japanese.

What I like is how Lelouch figures out the shortcomings of his power and decides to test them wisely. And the Zero recording in the phone was just brilliant. Kallen should have known better.

And I was certainly wonder struck by how much of Kallen they showed in this episode(They certainly did show her more than hentai standards.). I mean, you can see her complete rack if you pause at the correct moment. Man, Milly was looking at the wrong person for her perversions.

But that is one of the reasons I like Kallen. Not only is she an innocent fan service character, but she is also hot in her own way. She reacts quickly and is quite smart . She dodged the champagne's lid in a very stylish way.

I will say it again, that bee is actually a drone sent by Lelouch. I mean, there is no way that it breaks into three. NO WAY. Even then, Kallen is quite strong indeed.

I hope we learn about Kallen's reason for joining the terrorists sometime later. And that twist caught me offhand. Suzaku getting captured? That's got to be impossible! He was in the Lancelot wasn't he?

You should take a look at what Lelouch promises Nunnally. That is quite important. More than you think.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Oh, and who has a phone in his bathroom?

Damn, this story seems very complex so far, I love it. So, Lelouch can use that ability only once, that's reasonable. Interesting shower scene hahaha, I don't mind.

Another pretty solid episode. Introduced to the Nunnally girl that appears in the op, and it was pretty amusing seeing Lelouch play some 4D chess straight out of Yakusoku no Neverland.

We find more about LeLouch's power. I thought it would have a cooldown of some sort, but only being able to use it on 1 person is a unique way of keeping it from being OP as well as having to strategize when to use it or not. Of course we get some fanservice, it is partially a HS show (who complains though?). Looks like they blamed LeLouch's childhood friend, wonder what story they will make up to pin the blame.

i don't understand lelouch's character at all, all i've got is that he is clever and has a dark side i guess? but who tf is he really? and he seems to switch from "normal" to "sinister" without explanation. i don't really like any of the characters so far, or the school scenes, which seem totally random and out of place with all the political and mecha stuff

and i don't understand lelouch's power - he can just make people do what he wants? is that it? if he can only use it once per person, there is the danger that he's going to run out of useful people to use it on soon. but the preprepared voice recording idea was smart. also wasn't he given the power on a certain condition? what was that?

this show is confusing me, it is missing a lot of explanations which i hope we get soon. and i don't think i like the animation style

I can't believe he actually went for the kill. Leaning towards the dark side there!

That phone call trick he used sure was crafty. He seems to understand his power very well!

I suspect there's going to be much more to his power than meets the eye (pun intended). There will probably be more clauses to it than "can only be used once per person"

Nice episode. The phone call abibi was a nice execution.

One thing that bugged me was that Lelouch somehow managed to sneak out of the phone wire binding him to the wall.
Another was how Milly was able to suddenly make Kallen a student council member despite not doing so before.

My guess is it has got something to do with Shirley being JEALOUS of Lelouch. When she saw Lelouch being alone with Kallen during Lunch break, she just had to break up the tension. And when Shirley saw Lelouch sneak off with Kallen for a quick talk, I bet she got jealous and informed Milly to make Kallen student council member on the spot. How else would you explain Lelouch being surprised at Shirley being there along with Milly bringing the party?

And Shirley just conveniently searching for Nina's chip that was somehow on the top floor at that exact moment and they were hiding all this time, despite Lelouch and Kallen entering the room. Bunch of moment killers if you ask me.

Well, I don't think Lelouch was planning to include Kallen in the student council initially, since Shirley was pretty surprised when Lelouch asked Kallen out for dinner a talk(and you know Shirley wouldn't be surprised if she knew of the plan to include Kallen beforehand)

Someone really wants Lulu for herself.

And end of the episode, we see Lelouch make some genuine emotion at the sight of his boyfriend being taken for execution.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

Thankfully it's not fully focused on Mecha. Seems like they suspect Suzaku for murdering the Prince. Idk how but yeah they need someone to play as a suspect. And we saw some boobies this episode.. Can it get any better??

A very interesting episode to say the least,i have the interesting point of being a mecha show with alot of Gundam and shoujo mixing in. I have alot of themes that I never see discussed in other similar pacifist and idealist anime.

Well, Lelouch always had a plan to avoid being captured by Kallen. A bit forced but it works.

This anime has so many problems in it. There are a lot of scenes that don't make much sense, which is the main reason why I can't enjoy this show properly. So far I highly prefer death note and/or legend of the galactic heroes if I'm looking for a battle of wits. But because I'm curious, I'm still gonna watch this till the end.

In the first episode I said that I had eaten 2 spoilers, one from the end of the 2nd season and another from a character that I didn't recognize since I didn't know anything so maybe I could forget it, well, damn it, I'm already able to recognize the character xDDDDDD

I'm super angry out but it was my fault after all, well, one of them was my fault, but I'm already down. I hope I can enjoy those moments when they come.

bro is a true manipulator even without his powers lmao. but its good to see him finding out how his power works, the fact that it works on a person only once is kinda a disadvantage to an overpowered power. it was also good seeing lelouchs backstory and how his mom was killed by the other members of the royal family. and lelouchs sister is also an intruging character. and it ended with a twist with my boy Suzaku.a great episode.

Episode 3 of Code Geass continues to raise the stakes, diving deeper into the political intrigue, complex character dynamics, and Lelouch's rebellion. This episode is jam-packed with important revelations, new characters, and high tension moments, but the pacing can feel a bit fast and overwhelming at times.

The plot shifts between action-packed scenes and more lighthearted moments at Ashford Academy, showcasing the stark contrast between Lelouch's school life and his growing role as a revolutionary. There's a lot of new information introduced in this episode, which can make it a bit hard to follow, but it also sets up some exciting developments for future episodes.

The characters continue to shine, with Lelouch’s cunning and the unfolding mysteries around several key figures keeping the story engaging. While the fast pace can be confusing at times, the intrigue and depth of the narrative more than make up for it. If you’re a fan of strategic mind games, complex politics, and a protagonist with hidden motives, this episode will definitely keep you hooked. I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5, with room for a higher rating once the pacing smooths out.

It’s a strong continuation of the series, filled with tension and key developments, but be prepared to stay focused as the plot thickens!

Damn, killed his brother just like that huh. Wasn't really expecting it, mostly because that doesn't seem like the most strategic move, surely you'd want to abuse his power. Especially if his power only works on one person at the time. It would certainly be most effective to "control" kings and leaders. It's pretty cute that he had to puke though, maybe cute is the wrong word buy you know what I mean, it adds character and helps show he's not a completely infallible edgy mc.
Bro wtf did that Bee ever do to you, girl out here actively killing bees, absolute menace.
His power suddenly not working was also a smart writing move, it was feeling too smooth and I kind of figured they were somehow gonna have him actually build up a relationship with some of these clearly important characters and was wondering how they were gonna do that. But this is indeed a smart solution, it catches him off guard he's even foolish enough to immediately only to fail and make her even more suspicious.
I was thinking more like "it has a cooldown on each person"
But only once on each person is way more extreme that would make it a lot more difficult to use and a lot less OP.
Damn man really planned ahead with this move, the phone call timing was awfully convenient, he had to have told her a time yet if he had walked out of the room like he was planning it wouldn't proof anything or if the phone call was 1 or 2 minutes later he'd be forced to spill secrets or lie pretty hard. Bruh and now they are framing bro, literally the guy that pretty much saved all their asses for apparently no real reason apart from being silly and thinking that would somehow save the MC.
Oh well guess it's time to try and save him and for the MC to find out he was the pilot.

Lelouch is brutal, he really pulled the trigger in his brother head. I'm guessing it's his first kill, that's why he vomit when he remember that.

Lelouch mother was killed by a staged terrorist attack and the people who pulled the strings of that incident are definitely part of the royal family.

Shirley is def jealous when lelouch go his way to invite kallen for a talk tho I wouldn't mind a harem in this series cause he bear the royal blood and its normal for a king to have multiple wives. Shirley,kallen,milly are free to join lulu together ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Even without that power, lelouch is still op with his genius lvl of thinking and planning to make decisions.
