Schneizel's Guise (episode)

Schneizel's Guise is the twenty-third episode of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2.

Summary
Schneizel unveils his plan to position the Damocles in such a way as to strike every warring nation in the world, thus enforcing peace through threat of annihilation. Cornelia objects, but is gunned down. Lelouch declares Nunnally his enemy during their conversation, but in private has trouble with the thought of fighting her. With some harsh words from Suzaku and C.C.'s comfort, Lelouch comes to his senses and focuses on his original task. Frustrated that she cannot fight or protect anyone, Nunnally decides to shoulder the sin of launching F.L.E.I.J.A. herself. Schneizel, backed by the Black Knights and the remaining Knights of the Round, clashes with Lelouch in the skies above Mount Fuji. Though Lelouch is able to destroy a fair portion of the Black Knights by detonating the sakuradite mines in Mount Fuji, the Damocles remains unassailable and its payload of F.L.E.I.J.A. warheads still looms over him.

Quotes

 * "I see my little sister is as presumptuous as ever. You think it's just natural for people to help you all the time out of sympathy and pity? It's so easy to criticize others while you keep your own hands unsullied. You are the quintessence of the privileged aristocrat that I've rejected." -Lelouch


 * "I am his sword. It's my job to rid him of his enemies and his own weakness. And you C.C., you must be his shield. Your job is to protect him." -Suzaku


 * "Cornelia, what is it that people really want? Starvation and poverty? Discrimination and corruption? War and terrorism? They want the problems that are flooding the world to go away forever. People can't understand each other under these situations at all." -Schneizel


 * "Contests fought between two masters are decided instantly. An invisible battle is now raging between the two of them." -Tohdoh and Li Xingke


 * "With this act I will wipe away my brother's sin." -Nunnally
