Besides the obvious orange memes, is he a well written character?

I found his change of heart way too abrupt, but I am rewatching R2...So, my opinions might change in future.

Does anybody else dislike suzaku? I’m 20 episodes into the anime and he’s just a massive hypocrite. This idea of ‘doing things the right way’ is just absolutely delusional he judges zero for his actions towards justice and yet fights for a military that occupied his homeland murdered hundreds if not thousands of his own people right in front of him and try persecuting him at every turn. The notion that a knight however high he may climb in the military could have any impact in decision making throughout the empire never mind changing they’re ideals and bringing peace to Japan is so unbearably naive it’s making me really pissed off with him. He’s murdered his own father a man protecting his own country and stands as the reason of what’s the right way to do things in his own head. Lellouch does bad things for reason he thinks are good (revenge for his mother and a world where his sister can be free and happy) but he owns it and knows what he’s doing is morally ambiguous and yet for the love his sister, for the justice of his mother and inadvertently he’s creating an opportunity for the freedom of oppression against Britannia. Suzaku is just so unlike ale to me at this point. Anyone else have any thoughts on the matter? I know come the end of the anime I may have changed my mind and his character development could come through aswell as lellouch becoming a person I also dislike but yeah. Rant over.

I'm on ep 3 and lelouch tried too use the geass a 2nd time on Kallen and it didn't work.

My question is will the geass ever work on her again or is it impossible for him too use it on someone once it's been done forever?

I'm not familiar with photo novels so... ¿is it done?, ¿Can i read it fully without worrying about not being finished?

Cause bunny girl Shirley is very cute and sexy. And she's my fav girl from the series

This image is from Lost Colors Game I think.

In Episode 3, Lelouch goes shopping with Shirley and is tailed by Rivalz, Rolo, and Milly. Lelouch realizes that he's being surveilled and tells Shirley their classmates are tailing them, so he wants to pull a prank on them. Lelouch then goes into the dressing room after telling Shirley to pretend as if he's been in there for a while. While he is in the dressing room calling a false bomb threat into the mall, Rolo and the others have a direct line of sight towards Shirley and the front of the dressing room. Before the panic post-alarm bell even starts, Lelouch has already left the dressing room and is leaving that particular area in a different outfit.

I have two questions:

1. Since they had a direct line of sight towards the front of the dressing room, how did they not see him leave it? I know for a fact they didn't notice Lelouch leaving the area in a different outfit because once the alarm started ringing, Rolo rushed forward to check the dressing room, which he wouldn't have had to do if he'd seen him leave.

2. This probably gets explained next episode, I bet, but I felt I'd ask anyway. If it gets spoiled, feel free not to explain. If Lelouch knows he's being tailed/surveilled but doesn't want anyone becoming aware that he's got his memories back, why would he do such an extreme thing in the most inconvenient time possible? With all these eyes on him, calling a bomb threat during the one time he's out of someone's direct sight would be a horrible move, right?

Everyone is always hyping Lelouch as like a top 10 anime male manipulator OAT, and I get it. But can someone, or multiple people, like give me specifics? People that understand his plans and tactics better than I.

Recently realized that because Japanese has the same pronunciation for L and R, the transliterated title for Lelouch of the Rebellion would actually be alliterative: ルルーシュ(Rurūshu) リベリオン(Riberion).

The same goes for R2, which according to this interview stands for Route 2:

Koujiro: This is probably the first time I talk about this. It is quite a difficult topic, but… Code Geass is a world with parallels, right? Like the previously mentioned Private Tutor manga, for example. Do you know the meaning of R in R2? It stands for ‘route’. R2 is supposed to mean ‘route 2’.

ルルーシュ(Rurūshu) ルート(Rūto) アールツー(ārutsū)

Also wild conjecture on my part since the OG translated interviews about “R2”seem to be lost, but this could in some respect foreshadow L2/L.L./エルツー(Erutsū) since I could see people in the past perhaps wondering who R2/R.R. might be.

Nothing groundbreaking, just love studying languages & finding these intentionalities that get lost in translation.
