* I can accept giant robots, magic eye powers, and most everything else about the show, but ''how'' the ''heck'' did Lelouch pull of that million Zero thing in episode 8 of R2? Either he somehow managed to get his hands on a million Zero costumes, fitted for every single person who showed up, and distribute them in a few minutes; or he got a million people to each obtain a Zero costume and change into it when the mist appeared. He did this without any information leaks, and apparently set it up so that only people with Zero costumes showed up for the second attempt at establishing the Specially Administrated Zone. How the hell did he pull off something on such a massive scale without anyone leaking information to the authorities? There's no way he could have geassed a million people in that time, and the logistics of it all would be ridiculously hard even if he had the aid of [[Death Note|Light Yagami]], [[Gargoyles|David Xanatos]], and [[WITCH (animation)|Nerissa]]. Just...HOW??? |

** This has bugged me too, and while it's a touching and thought-provoking scene, I consider it the largest flaw in the entire show. He probably negotiated the production of the costumes with the Chinese Federation alongside the exile itself, but I see no way he could have distributed them to so many people in Britannian territory in complete secrecy. Not to mention how they put them all synchronously. [[No Delays for the Wicked]] at its finest. |

** I just had to say "[[Rule of Cool]]" and move on. Not only was it a great scene, but for extra [[Rule of Cool]] points you have to consider the possibility that when he did that, Lelouch knew what his last move in the end game was going to be. And also that all those people might still have their costumes. Which allows '''[http://trainwreck.ggkthx.org/2008/09/29/mind-raped-geassed-schneizel/#more-1148 this]''' to happen. |

*** I just [http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a2505951eef1962011efa32623900f5 rewatched this scene], and I'll have to amend that from [[Rule of Cool]] to [[Refuge in Audacity|Rule Of Absolutely Ridiculous]]. I really can't defend it on any logical level--the way everyone acts like this is a daring yet sense-making strategy (especially Lloyd's "Ah-ha!"), or how everyone changed perfectly into costume while blinded by smoke, or how they were all tailored, or basically anything that happens in that scene. Except that it's hilarious and awesome and someone took the time to put a helmet on a dog. |
