Season 2 Episode 1:
Oh. C2 is alive. Well, I guess she's immortal so that shouldn't be too surprising.
Lelouch is back at school. Huh.
Villetta is a gym teacher? Alright, alright. This is pretty annoying. And this opening sequence is showing a s*** ton of people I do not recognize. And... is that Jeremiah?
Oh, and it looks like Nina didn't blow up the school. That or she did and they rebuilt it rather quickly. But then how did everyone survive? I'm gonna just assume the former.
Who the f*** is this guy calling Lelouch big brother? Where is Nunally?
What the f*** is going on?! Why doesn't Lelouch know that he's Zero?
Well, we've got a new Viceroy. Oh, hey, Guilford's there! Cool, at least he survived.
Someone is targeting Lelouch. I'm assuming they're making sure he's not Zero? Or they know he's Zero and don't want him to realize it? Did he lose his memory? Did someone erase his memory? In this show it seems like whenever someone gets shot, they lose their memory. It's like clockwork. But then were did Rolo come from?
Oh hey, Kallen in fanservice mode. Nevermind.
Kallen didn't recognize Lelouch. For the love of God what is going on?
He walks around with a chess set. Huh.
Prisoners giving exposition. Fun times.
"You filthy lying adult!" Weakest insult I've ever heard.
Oh hey, s***s blowing up and Kallen's kicking ass. Lelouch is still clueless.
The Chinese Federation leader is so feminine.
That Knightmare is all "Come with me if you want to live."
Hiding your key inside your cleavage. Very clever, Kallen. Here comes the Guren Mk-II! Ready to f*** s*** up.
OK, why do none of the student council members question the fact that Lelouch has a kid brother now instead of a kid sister? That's a pretty big difference.
Oh hey, C2 has finally seen Lelouch. And she's trying to explain what the hell is going on to him. And he's still clueless. Obviously he's got amnesia. Either bullet-wound or someone with a special geass that lets them erase memories?
C2 was just shot! Oh no, it's not like she's immortal or anything!
And apparently this guy is a stalker. He's listing off everything he does. So someone's been spying on him. Oh, he's bait, trying to catch C2. OH NO THEY'RE GOING TO SHOOT LELOUCH!
And he's still f***ing clueless. C2 with the save. Still trying to explain everything.
Phony memories implanted in him? I assume it was a geass.
I AM ZERO. Damn straight you are.
Suzaku flashback!
Lelouch hamming it up. Nice. And now he tells them to die. OK, are we officially repeating the first episode verbatim? Cause almost nothing is different.
And now two giant robots drop from the sky and bow to him.
And now, Suzaku and two other people are standing before the Emperor. And Suzaku claims he will kill Zero. That's super.
So really, there's a lot of s*** put in this episode with very little of it explained. Who the f*** is Rolo and where is Nunnallay? Why is Villetta now a gym teacher? Why the f*** can't anyone remember Nunnally? Where is Cornelia? Is she alive? Who are these two people next to Suzaku? Was that Jeremiah in the opening? Is he alive, too? Where is Nina? She's obviously not a part of the student council. Is she in jail? Honestly, there wasn't a whole lot of progress in this episode. The only thing that happened was that Lelouch regained his memory. That's super. It was basically a repeat of the first episode. I get the feeling that episode 2 is going to be a repeat of episode 2 of the previous season, isn't it? This viceroy looks pretty expendable and I'm sure the new viceroy will be someone with a grudge against Zero (Jeremiah? Cornelia?).
