A lot to say about this episode! Some bad, some good.

The main sour note is just, man, do we reaaaaaaally have to call the prison that. I'm not sure if the use of the term "concentration camp" is to be blamed on the subtitlers or the writers (a bit of on-screen text actually says *relocation* camp instead, although I think that's just a euphemism for the other thing anyway), but like, it is possible to push these things too far. (The original series sometimes did so as well, so it's not like this is a sin unique to Roze', but still.) It's very much a down note in an otherwise pretty good episode, and it put a damper on my mood. Not mentioning it would also just feel irresponsible. So! There it is. I don't know why they did that and I'm not gonna attempt to excuse it.

Anyway, the actual prison liberation itself is pretty good and very action-packed. The show's establishing a pattern here with Ash taking down arrogant Britannian knights that is admittedly a cheap thrill but one that I'm pretty into. I like his little speeches when he inevitably bests them.

There are two main things we learn in this episode. One; Sakuya and Sakura don't seem to actually be related and instead have a royal body double situation going on. What does this open us up for? Why, Code Geass Yuri, of course. I'm not going to blow anyone's mind by praising wlw romantic tension in a show when my blog is called "yurisorcerer", but nonetheless, I am going to say; good job with that, Roze' of the Recapture.

The other thing is that hey, it turns out that Sakuya-as-Roze' doesn't have as straightforward a relationship with Ash as we were initially led to believe (who could've seen that coming?). Given the flashback we're shown, the case seems to be that Ash is under a very complicated iteration of Sakuya's geass, and in fact plans to kill him after she's completed her tasks of rescuing Sakura and freeing Area 11 from the Neo-Britannian yoke, to "avenge her father." We'll learn more about that in the weeks to come, I'd guess. It really feels like Sakuya is a very complex character that we're only getting to look at one layer at a time. I like that, it makes her notably distinct from Lelouch whose whole deal we basically understood right away even if it later became more complicated.

So, yeah, in spite of my major complaint, this was a solid episode. (I could complain about the fanservice too if I wanted to, but honestly i'm disinclined to do so. Code Geass Ass Shots make a proud return here after being absent in the first week, if that moves the needle for you either way.) I'd put it about on par with the first episode overall.

I, Sakuya Sumeragi, command you! Swear to me that you will save 100 times the number of Japanese that you have killed, and you live. If you refuse, you die. - Code Geass Dakkan no Roze - Episode 1
