8th Day of an Anime Christmas

Have you seen what these guys have been up to!? Oh, the horror! Nah, just kidding 😉

Thought I’d try something a little different. Okay, I admit, I might have been slightly influenced by DS 😛 And yeah, it really did took me 8 hours in case you’re wondering after you’re done reading.

If you have absolutely no idea what’s the heck this “12 Days of Christmas” deal is, head back to Day 1: A Chiaki-sama hanging in the air to find out what this is all about.

On the 8th day of Christmas, my anime gave to meâ€¦

Code Geass: Euphemia Massacre

8 Hours in Shock…

Dear Princess Euphemia Li Britannia,

Thank you for wasting away 8 hours of my life. Because of the unthinkable thing which you did, I was left in shock for approximately 8 hours. Unable to think or do anything properly, with my mind blanked out and my hands shaking, I had to hide myself under the blanket in the corner of my room.

My thought process, as I’ve mentioned earlier, became slightly unstable and was full of negative thoughts in a loop that never ends along the lines of “Ah… The world is full of despair…”, “Code Geass… It will only end with even more sorrow” and “There is no hope for anyone anymore…”

Euphemia Li Britannia

Yes, it is you who had destroyed everything. The hope that Lelouch and Suzaku would band together against a common evil, the idea that Gawain and Lancelot would once again combine strength against the final enemy, the anticipation that has been built up throughout the entire time… torn, slashed, and burnt into nothingness within seconds and minutes.

Why!? Why did you do such a thing!?

Do not think of blaming it on the Geass. It was you who forced Lelouch to do what he did, even if he had done it accidentally in the end. If you had just kept your big mouth shut, none of it would have happened. Even after the Geass was used, you showed signs of resistance, but you decided that it was much easier to let go and allow the Geass to take over.

Oh, the horror you have caused! Things could have gone right, you had managed to convinced Lelouch to join forces with you, but you just had to spoil it all.

I still shudder whenever I recall that moment. What have we all done to deserve this, especially from you, one who many have dubbed, the Lacus clone. No, you were far from being anywhere near the most powerful of all Pink Princesses. Even Meer had done better, she had sacrificed herself in order to protect others, even if she was part of the cause.

But you, dear Euphie, were different. You did not want to leave alone. So you took out thousands of innocent lives before you finally went down and in the process, tainted Lelouch and his friendship with Suzaku.

You have destroyed Code Geass.

Yet, you have also immortalized yourself along with Code Geass to make it one of the most memorable scenes ever not only for this year, but in the entire history of anime.

Code Geass and (unfortunately) your blood-stained hands will never be forgotten, and fans throughout the world would be waiting for its continuation in spring next year.
