    Default Can anyone explain Episode 22 of Code Geass R2 to me?

    I keep puzzling over that... I can't really follow it. Does anyone really understand what's going on with it?

    I think it has something to do with subtype shifting. What do you think?

    OH MAN I LOVE THAT SHOW but I don't think I got up to 22... stopped at like R2 13 or something.

    When I catch up I'll let you know.. but what exactly do you mean by subtype shifting?
    She is wise
    beyond words
    beautiful within
    her soul
    brighter than
    the sun
    lovelier than
    love
    dreams larger
    than life
    and does not
    understand the
    meaning of no.
    Because everything
    through her, and in her, is
    "Yes, it will be done."

    There are two points in the anime where Lelouch undergoes radical personal transformation, the end of the first episode of R1 and episode 22 of R2. In the first episode he gets his geass ("the power of the king"). In R2 Ep.22, he reacts to the Sword of Akasha, which will create a world without lies, by saying he rejects everything his parents believe, and invokes the will of humanity to destroy both the Sword of Akasha and them. Then he goes on a suicidal course in which he basically rejects all value for human life, from what I saw.

    What brought about the transformation? It's not clear. For that matter, if he is, as some here have suggested, an LSI, then why the emphasis on protecting his family, given protection is arguably Si and Si is his demonstrative function?

    Perhaps he's SLI, lack of Fi-subtype, vengeance-driven motivation, and his masks falls as he gets closer to his objective.

    That doesn't make much sense. He pledged to destroy Britannia, remember? Also, he rejects authority. SLIs embrace authority, as per positivist extroverted logic (per DarkAngelFireWolf69). Also, he never shied away from venting his rage. Would an SLI give in to rage so easily?

    And finally, he ultimately commits himself to the future, criticizing those who cling to the past. Also, SLIs aren't as good at tactics as LSIs, because their alpha Ti isn't as strong. And if vengeance was important to him, he couldn't possibly be devaluing of Fi, because vengeance is a motivation.

    No mask is that strong, that it would become a person's entire life. And there is no such thing as a "lack of Fi-subtype".
