code geass has definite flaws worthy of criticism but I will go down forever with the opinion that the Euphemia moment at the R1 finale was perfectly written and a brilliant addition to the show. People who say that it just happened for shock value and didn’t make sense for the characters are objectively incorrect. I can’t believe people think it’s bad just because it’s [checks notes] a tragic and shocking event in the tragedy and shock show.

#‘It just happened to move the story forward’ yeah man that’s how narratives work. Situations must occur.#Sometimes I remember it out of nowhere and am like damn. Poetic cinema.#it was being continuously foreshadowed for ages and was such a bone chilling moment #I just wish that it had had emotional repercussions for Lelouch in R2?#like he and Euphemia ADORED each other and the fact that he doesn’t even mention what happened after #is infuriating #he mourned for her!!!!! And then it’s entirely ignored in R2 #except for by Suzaku. And that’s fucked.#if anything that should have been THE catalyst that made Lelouch actually grapple with the person #he was willing to become in order to defeat Britannia #the amnesia arc did nothing for the show and it aggravates me the way it screeched his development to a halt #Code Geass #anyway. I promise I’m normal about this show.#Yes it had long term plot repercussions of course how could it not #but like. For our protagonist it starts to lose the emotional weight in favor #of him having to deal with strictly the political fallout and the growing distrust by his followers
