Code Geass R2 episode 22

Hi!
Today I'm going to review Code Geass Lelouch's Rebellion R2 Episode 22.

I had just finished watching that episode yesterday and was very eager to talk about it.

This is one of my favorite anime.
Since my favorite anime was a strategy vs strategy and character development from conflict and tragedy and problems.

Episode 22, is one of the episode that give a big shock and turn around at the end of this episode.

Lelouch became the king of the Britannia and Suzaku became his personal Knight called Knight Zero. Which the only highest title for the knight was Knight One.
To be honest, I'm curious of what Lelouch's plan while became the king of Britannia.

He even used his newly developed Geass. His Geass got stronger because of an event in episode 21. Now his geass got into 2 of his eyes and he need another extra contact lense (soft lense) :P

Using his Geass, he control the aristocrats to let go their aristocrats. He even burnt down his father's paintings and statue as a symbol that he want to ended the aristocrats.
And Suzaku even finished off the Knight One, which around a month ago (according to the story), he wasn't able to fight him.

From this episode too, I got a hunch that Lelouch, Suzaku and C.C. are planning on dying together. Lelouch has no one to hung on, after Euphie's and Nunally's death. Beside Lelouch and Suzaku has 1 objective, to make the world much better. Not to be a conquer of the world.

And also I see that Lelouch is trying to make all of the world to hate him and fight him back. The other reason was to make people forget about Euphie's massacre and the title that was given to Euphie because of Lelouch's fault.

Beside, C.C. want to die too. And Suzaku felt a burden of his sins (betraying many friends and people). I don't know if Suzaku want to die, since he said in episode 21 he isn't the same as C.C. who is wishing to die.

The other objective of Lelouch on becoming a king, was to finish off his brother, Prince Schnizel (forgot the typo of this prince name because it was soo hard to remembered).

To me, it was sad to see that Lelouch putting all the blame and burden on to him self. He didn't even try to tell Karen what he was planning on to do, and he even act that he doesn't recoqnize his classmates. I mean for a teenager like him, it was something hard and a big heavy burden to be hated by all of the people you know. You need be really prepared to die and lost everything in your life, if you want to do that.

I know, that he done all of this was because he wanted that the other people doesn't get involved and/or die.

I myself can't do the same as Lelouch, to be blamed and hated. Even though the reason was for the best of them.

The end of episode 22 was quite shocking.
Well, I don't know why, I wasn't surprise to see Nunally (Lelouch's little sister) to be alive. But what shocked me was Nunally was at the Prince Schinzel's group. And she event announce her self to lelouch that she will be the enemy of Lelouch because she think that Lelouch had gone to the wrong road.

From this part, I think this is really strategy vs strategy. Prince Schinzel was really clever to the part of genius on strategy, and Lelouch also was another genius on strategy, but he always lost to his brother in strategy too.
TO tell you the truth, I'm starting to questioned Prince Schnizel's motive for the war, is he really wanted to became the king of the world, or he share the same objective with Lelouch, Nunally, Suzaku? or he is really a devil with an angel face and voice?

Now because Nunally had became an ally with Prince Schnizel to bring down Lelouch, what will lelouch do? He still had the Zero Requiem plan to be done. That was one reason why Suzaku was with him, to fullfill that Zero Requiem.
And the other problem was the one with the Geass Canceler. Will he be with Lelouch's side or he will be at Nunally side?

I can't wait for the next episode >_< kyaaa... !

Ahiru no oujisama - review and spoiler

I just want to talk about this manga.

This is one of the manga that is really funny. Funny to the point of extreme ^^a
The mangaka's name is Ai Morinaga, the author of Poor Prince (in Japanese : Yamada Taro monogatari)

If you already knew and liked the "Yamada Taro Monogatari", I think you guys would have liked this manga.

Again Ai Morinaga made a comedy manga. This time, the theme was "ugly duckling" like.

I know this manga is old, and I'm kinda late to review this manga. And also I'm just reviewing by just reading 4 volume of this manga, not the whole manga.
This manga is already completed in Japan at volume 6.

Note that I like to spoil the story ^^a
So if you don't like spoiler, I would like to ask you guys not to read this :)














The main character was Reiichi.
At first, he was like an ugly duck mixed between beautiful swan. He was describe in words by other character as short, ugly, not even worthed to be with. And also he was the only one that was short, and hard hair and spiral eye glasses in his family. Which made him got scolded and kicking and punching by his sisters who are all beautiful and was embarrassed to have a brother like him.

Reiichi got a crush in a girl, who was kind to him. The only person in his school that was kind to him. That's the reason he liked her, even though the girl told him that he looked like her dog, Mister.

Then this girl had to go to another country (USA), and while Reiichi was trying to talk to her, the girl said she lost her dog. And so Reiichi tried to help to find her dog. And while trying to rescue the dog, Reiichi got into an accident, which he was in to a coma for a year.

Waking up, being handsome and tall.

Well this is where Reiichi's life started, which I think where the writer started to bully this character ^^a

Reiichi got into a new school, starting from the first grade of senior high, when he was suppose to be 2nd grade in senior high. And he met the girl he liked.

Well problems come and go XD I do really think the writer REALLY loves to bully Reiichi. And above all, reiichi is really a feminime type of boy, or you can said a cry baby ^^a To be honest, I don't like this kind of guy for a real life. But the mangaka REALLY draw this character face soooooo sweeet even when crying =_= Which made me wanted to bully him in real life.

Why I said the mangaka love to bully this character?

1. When Reiichi meet with Mister and asked for a payback for what he had done to help Mister, mister told him that mister had saved him self, and Reiichi was the one who got hit unneed. So in other words, Reiichi got into an accident and coma for nothing except his handsome sweet features?

2. When Reiichi asked the dog, why mister gave this beautiful appearance, Mister just answered that he was pitying him for his uglyness. Really... stupid reason but for crying out loud, I can accept it and laugh for it.

3. Everytime Reiichi wanted to kiss or had some desire to touch or hug or kiss the girl he like, he will be turned back to his old self for a few minutes. And as long he was in his old self, he is nude (reason was the different height and size body).

4. Reiichi's first kiss was with a dog, and reiichi was drawn by the mangaka that he enjoy the kiss, even though after that he cry like a girl having kissed by other man. Even said he can't be a bride anymore =_=

5. He even being raped by his own sister, which is not blood related. Yes again, he cried beside the bed like a girl who was raped. ^^a

6. He got kissed by the the girl she doesn't like, and got his body size back. and he FAINTED because he was kissed by the girl he didn't like.

7. being a magic test subject by 2 'friends' of Mister. And got his head and face back to normal, but his body was the same short body ^^a and he starts to cry again.

etc and etc

It's like problems kept comming to him to make him cry, or trying to hide and other ^^a

If you like comedy, this is one of a must.
That's what I think so. I laugh out loud for this comic ^^a

although I read on other people's review that the end was disappointing. Well I think, I'll just enjoy the comedy of bullying the main character. :D

The art it self, surely I like how she draw reiichi ^^a
I mean, I like bishonen, and Reiichi's face was one :P The girls are cute too. This mangaka really draw Reiichi as handsome and cute and sweet as possible ^^a
