I could've finished Mob by Friday, but I resumed watching Code Geass instead so the write-up for it won't be until Monday. As an apology, I'll post some brief thoughts!
Code Geass S1 episode 20 spoilers
I know I complained about him once already back when I last made a post about CG, but Suzaku is one of the worst characters ever. I hate him so much. He's an unrelenting hypocrite and no one ever calls him out on it in the ways I want them to. Like in one mission he's killing enemy soldiers and has absolutely no problem with it, but when Zero shows up and starts killing enemy soldiers too, suddenly that's a war crime and Suzaku launches into a self-righteous rage. Shut the fuck up Suzaku. Then, in episode 20, he was finally going to die! He was out of power, surrounded, trapped! Yay! Then Lelouch saved him for some incredibly stupid reasons, ugh. It doesn't help that Suzaku is comically overpowered and has won every single battle he's gone into, including a 7v1 solo against literally all the elites of the Black Knights. Nothing about this goof is compelling in any way. This show has such potential to tell an interesting story, but Suzaku is constantly ruining everything in every way possible. And the way the narrative is treating him, especially with Lelouch randomly deciding to partner with him in episode 20, it's making me think that I'm supposed to sympathize with him. I'm afraid the ending will be something like "Suzaku was right all along" and if that's the case, this will be a new 1/10. I really hope the last 30 episodes aren't just more of the same old "Lelouch is about to do something cool, no wait here's Suzaku swooping in stop it while pretending he's the real hero" It's happened a dozen times now and I'm sick of it.
EDIT: Oh I also forgot, Suzaku has a princess for a girlfriend now. She fell for him even though he's the absolute worst person ever, which only further supports my fear that they're setting him up as the real hero of the show.
