    Something worth noting that isn't well covered in the show... Kallen is older than the war. Her mother and the Brittanian noble likely had a healthy relationship as husband and wife at one point. Then the war broke out and suddenly his personal life was 'consorting with the enemy'. They could've separated amicably, but the kids complicated the issue. So the husband finds a new wife that can't have kids but wants them and convinces her to adopt Kallen. She agrees but only under the condition that they can't see their mother again. Of course Kallen's mother doesn't accept that and bargains to work as a maid. Kallen's stepmother probably only agreed thinking she could drive Mrs. Kouziki away by being a total bitch. It's not stated why exactly the father leaves for the homeland so often but it could be to salvage his rep by ensuring he's a good patriotic britannian. Or maybe he just wants to get away from the situation at home. Lord knows I would.
    What a truly messed up situation.

I can't remember exactly when but either Clovis or Cornelia has some line about how they would prefer to not ask the Lancelot for help because they would end up owing their older brother a debt. I guess it doesn't matter too much until he gets officially introduced though.

    It's never explicitly stated, but "Britannia" is the product of old world royals and nobles being driven out by Napoleon to the american colonies. Ancient resentment and entitlement festered into a ruthless militarism, and a desire to prove their "Inborn superiority" to the world. They were a nominally christian nation and very zealous, hence "Holy" Britannian empire, (possibly also a nod to the holy roman empire which was also abolished by napoleon), but in the modern age they have adopted Social Darwinism as their state ideology. Old values of compassion and mercy were replaced with ruthless efficiency and "might makes right".
    In short, the "Britannia" of the show is a festering chimera of some of the worst impulses and grudges of humanity, hardened to a fine edge. A look at what happens when progress occurs technologically, but without the social lessons needed. Also, WW1 and WW2 never happened, which is why war can be so ruthless yet so glorified at the same time.

  • @garywillig5143
    @garywillig5143 2 місяці тому +1

    All the stuff Lelouch said to Kallen when the hot dog guy was getting beaten up were not Lelouch's true feelings. Since Kallen interacts with Zero so much, Lelouch cranks his 'disinterested student' act up to 11 with her to make himself seem as far removed from Zero as possible. It works to such an extent that she slaps him for seemingly caring so little about the world around him.
    With Suzaku, he can't put on an act to the same extent since Suzaku knows him from way back, and he still wants to bring Suzaku over to Zero's side. So he is more honest about his feelings that the Black Knights are doing good with Suzaku in an attempt to convince Suzaku to change his mind.

    I still maintain to this day, that one of the easiest things the writers could have done to lend some much needed legitimacy to Suzaku's position is give him some, even just meager, authority at the start of the story.
    It would have made his resistance to the Black Knights a lot more understandable- he's been making some small progress towards changing Britannia from within, and now these damn terrorists are coming in and ruining everything.
    Of course, it would have required massive rewrites, so I understand why it didn't happen, but it's definitely one of the biggest missed opportunities in the series.

    Wallowing in the past isn't too far fetched for hard drugs, the things you feel and experience while high have to come from what's already in your head anyway. A lot of psychoactives can help work through trauma or long term memories, I'm sure that was the inspiration for Refrain; that and the real role that drug trade, especially opiates, have historically had in real world imperialism.

    In real life, obviously Suzaku's idealogy is a million times more realistic and effective than Lelouch's, and ironically vigilantly justice and even outright terrorism that Lelouch is doing is the more naive and shortsighted method of causing change. Discussions like this are what make good fantasy so good, in that it tests how strictly you view your convictions on how you should act against, in Code Geass's example, what you would do against an overwhelming corrupt force given a much more extreme example as opposed to real life, where generally everyone is a nice person and just wants to live a good life.

      The thing with Nina is that she actually has a reason for some of her behavior. She was raised in a world where children grow up learning that the Numbers are inferior to Britannians.
      You can clearly see that she's afraid of the Japanese people, and this was *before* she was being held hostage, at gunpoint, by "Elevens" during the hotel jacking.
      Sakura, when the show started off, bad mouthed Naruto by saying that he's a bad kid that doesn't know any better because he's an orphan, and called him annoying. Then, in a different scene later on in Shippuden (pretty sure it was a movie), starts complaining *to Naruto* about how annoying her parents are. The creators of the show intentionally made Sakura an incredibly tone-deaf character, and seemed to try their best to make her unlikeable in a lot of the scenes she's in.
      I'm not saying that Nina's actions and what she says are okay, but if you look at Nina's character, and I mean *actually* look at her, then she's really not as awful as people try to make her out to be.
