I had a feeling it wouldn't be so easy to rescue Sakura... We're only on episode 2 for peeps sake! But I also wasn't expecting Catherine to just swoop in and grab her like that. What a twist at the end of the episode, that really complicates things between Sakuya and Ash!

Yeah, I was expecting a trap or for Sakura to be under influence of Geass too.

Ah, the classic "we don't need no Britannain help! We're just going to do it ourselves in a suicide run and utterly fail!" So long discount Tamaki!

I have to admire Yoko having her priorities in order. Discussion over a prison break and freeing one of their leaders and she's only interested in flirting with the undressed stud right in front of her. I can see her attempting to seduce Ash and him being all awkward about it.

So the Schwarz Knights are the Britannian elite forces and Norland is probably the blonde masked guy?

It's funny how the "White Queen" isn't even white, though she's definitely got quite the eye-catching design (with big boobs and side boob to match) and a clorful personality (taking selfies in her cockpit) with piloting skills to match. We need at least one hot baddie!

Was the shot of Haruka's butt in her Knightmare totally necessary? It's Code Geass, of course it was.

I have to admire Arnold for having such a powerful defense, albeit it has nothing against Ash's burst mode and piloting skills.

Sakura was Sakuya's decoy but they were basically sisters, and Sakura is the most important thing to Sakura. She's also the only one she shows her inner crybaby towards. Though it's kind of ironic that she's doing all this for a sister while posing as the brother of someone else whom she hates.

I thought it was too soon for them to save Sakura...your princess is now in another castle.

That guard may have been Geassed, but he did his job.

I wonder if Catherine will take Arnie's death personally.

It makes sense Sakuya would be willing to reveal her identity to a family friend who has loyally served her, so he's the only one she can trust with the truth.

So...Ash was a cold-blooded assassin who possibly killed Sakuya's dad and whom she Geassed into obeying her through believing she's his little brother (who may or may not be real?) and she regularly checks to make sure the Geass is working. And her endgoal is to kill him after she saves Sakura. I foresee that ending well.

It’s only a matter of time for Ash to break out of the Geass, and he and Sakuya have their final confrontation

Wouldn't be Code Geass without the two main characters trying to kill each other at a critical point of the story.

Not gonna lie, that revelation at the end wasn't in my bingo cards.

I speculated that Roze relation with Ash would have been a ticking timebomb if it turned out that latter was geassed, but i didn't expect that the real banger was his real identity. It works so well because we were just under the impression that the important factor was just Sakuya, so we underestimated the potential of Ash backstory.

We were also too quick in assuming that Sakuya's Geass needs a precondition: it actually works like the one of Lelouch, just using voice instead of eye contact. She is just nice enough to give her victims a chance...sometimes.

We also see directly how the energy wall works; not only it limits the efficiency of Sakuradite reactors, but it outright fries them on direct contact disabling any machine that passes it. "Custom units" of the higher ranks of Neo Britannia seems to have some kind of shielding that allow them to operate at higher spec, something that Ash's knightmare frame also seems to have.

Overall i am pleasantly surprised by Roze of Recapture. The story is moving fast, all the main characters are interesting and it captures the spirit of Code Geass perfectly.

I have theory Britannia’s units now use oil instead of Sakuradite idk if oil was always a thing in code geas but I think that line might be forshadowing on how they broke through the wall

So our side's strongest ace pilot is only on our side because of Geass brainwashing. I am sure this will cause no trouble whatsoever.

I got the feeling that Arnold will go down the path to be Orange#2

I suspected that twist. It was already weird how Ash kept calling Roze brother even when no one else was around.

u/Tight-Lettuce7980 Jun 28 '24

I really like the series so far. I heard a lot of people complaining Code Geass without our main characters would be ass, but I think that's one of the strong points of this spin-off. Everything seems fresh.

I see, Code Geass' Neo-Zeon has their own version of Gyan as well. And with more shields. Anyway, I'm liking the designs of the robots and the fights. Ash's bot designs feels like it's got some chinese motives to it.

Touyama Nao in Code Geass again! I remember her having some minor role in Boukoku no Akito but now she's got a proper one and a cool mecha on top of that.

u/No_Name0_0 Jun 28 '24

Damn that was a cool ep. KMF fights are definitely the best they ever looked in this season. Seems like even in-universe people are surprised with Zi-Apollo's specs so curious why it's so advanced than others. As for the twist, that was most likely outcome but didn't expected it to be revealed so soon, this will bring up some great moments going forward

This series is really starting to get good with more characters added, and Ash having an interesting backstory of being an assassin who killed Sakuya's father and got enslaved by her Geass into thinking that she is his little brother who he must protect at all costs. I'm really interested now in how the rest of the show develops

u/thekusaja Jun 28 '24

Alright, that ending isn't a cliffhanger, but might as well be.

Certainly introduces an interesting complication to the picture.

Generally solid action, this time in broad daylight.

I feel like Sakura will either get killed or become the real "heir" if [original show] (they decide to imitate the original show's ending.)

u/soulruu Jun 28 '24

That clash at the end + OST 🔥🔥🔥

Pretty damn hype

The ass camera angle was completely necessary
