Weiss Reacts to Code Geass R1, Part 2!

A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! Good Dust, we really ARE close to the end of the volume, aren't we? I mean, all this planning for Corrin Reacts and Weiss Reacts Volume 3 is getting underway, and we're looking at new things to feature to take you guys on for one more volume of badly written shenanigans.

Of course, that'll all be covered when we get around there in nine chapters. Among what we're confirming for next volume, however, include Fruits Basket, Gurren Lagann (finally!) and the last chapters of Half-Blind Otaku's We Were Close, among other things.

That said, let's get on with this chapter!

DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise there would be a villain based on Baba Yaga.

Code Geass belongs to Sunrise. Major spoilers abound.

All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.

The Black Knights

"And they wonder why everyone hates them." Weiss muttered, irritated. "Seriously, yes, we get it, you're the Japanese Liberation Front, woo-hoo, freedom to Japan! What I don't get is if you want the popular opinion to be on your side, the best thing to do is not to involve a bunch of innocent tourists and throw them off the top of the building!"
"Desperate times." Yang pointed out helpfully. "I mean, considering that the Britannians are basically supremacists with an overinflated sense of superiority, you seriously think they'll stop if the resistance doesn't do this kinda stuff?"
"Still, it's a stupid plan. And, of course, rather conveniently, this Euphemia girl just happens to be their hostage." The heiress remarked. "Well, whoever was stupid enough to call the siege better write his will. Obviously, knowing her character, pigs will fly before she gets killed off."

Yang snorted. "Do you ever notice that whenever you say something, the exact opposite happens? Haven't you learned your lesson from, oh, Toradora, Madoka Magica, just about every fanfic we ever read….any of them ring a bell, dear?"
"Pfft. I know these kinds of characters. There's no way they'll kill Euphie off that quickly." The heiress responded with a snort of her own. "If she dies, it'll be a sacrifice for Lelouch or her boyfriend or something and she'll say something profound and look at peace before she closes her eyes for the last time."

'One out of three ain't bad.' The brawler mused, chuckling to herself.

"….you would think the Britannians would pick up on the fact that they have a string of mass suicides every time this Zero person shows up." Weiss commented. "That or things being blown up.

And you'd also think they'd suspect something between him and Euphemia, considering, y'know, that they're supposed to be nominal enemies and yet he didn't kill her."

Ruby shrugged. "Maybe they assumed he was playing at some sort of plot- I don't kill your princess, you give me leeway? I mean, that's what I'd do. Make them owe me a lot for letting her live."

"Cornelia's too strict for that to work." Blake shook her head. "No way. She'd kill them first."
"….romantic. A group of heroes of justice." The heiress sighed. "The last time someone claimed to be that, they were a bunch of pranksters who ended up kidnapping my sister for some sort of perverted scheme."

Yang chuckled at the remark. "Heh, good point. It'd be pretty cool if we gave the Justice Cabal mecha-"

"NO." Weiss responded vehemently, shaking her head. "We do not need to give any more idiotic pranksters giant robots! I already have you two and Nora to deal with!"

"Dear, trust me. If you've ever been to an Antic Order meeting, giant robots are peanuts." Yang responded, smirking.

Refrain

Weiss frowned. "…well. It seems nobody in this whole series has a remotely happy life. Except that Shirley girl, and I bet she'll end up being run over by a truck or something."

Ruby merely remained silent, eating her ice cream.

"…..that has to be rough, treated badly no matter what you pretend to be." Blake remarked sympathetically. "I mean, Kallen's lucky- she can pass for Britannian or Japanese- and even she gets a little lip.

I suppose I understand that."

"…yeah. I can see what you mean, Blake." Yang nodded in assent, her eyes resting on the ribbon hiding Blake's cat ears briefly. "I feel for you."

"...oh come on! And her mother's on drugs?!" Weiss cried. "Alright. A drug that makes you relive your past obsessively.

….oh. Ohoho. I see what they did there."

Ruby raised an eyebrow. "You do?"
"Yes, yes I do. I won't explain it, as I might, possibly, be wrong, but eh."

Guren Dances

"If you're going to make another Knightmare Frame, you should work on the Guren. I mean, seriously. LASER ARM." Yang pleaded to Blake, who thought carefully.

"…..it's an idea, but making these giant robots takes time. Granted, now that I have a ton of machines to automate the process, it doesn't take me six months to make one of those, but it still takes a while." The catgirl pointed out.

"But laser arm!" The brawler whined, pouting.

"…..I'll see what I can do."
"YAAAAAAY!"

"Why do I feel like that landslide's going to bite them in the backside later?" Weiss inquired, sighing.

Battle for Narita

Weiss clapped. "Finally, a stroke of actual genius! Now they actually pin down their leader-oh, wonderful! Just wonderful! Euphemia comes in with…..dammit!

At least I can't question her motives or her intelligence, although that of her officers, I can. Morons….you give her boyfriend a super-powerful robot and you don't use him? That's like having a gun in your possession and refusing to use it in times of war because you think it wouldn't be honourable! This is why supremacists are so inefficient in their stupid philosophy.

Stupid and arrogant."

"Well, they are supremacists, but if they wanted to save their precious Cornelia, you'd think they'd send their best weapon in before their superior makes them do it." Yang pointed out, agreeing with the heiress.

"…..so C.C doesn't just have the power to give people weird eye things and immortality, but she can also mentally traumatise you." The heiress remarked, trying to understand what was going on. "…..excellent. Next thing you'll tell me, she can fly and shoot rainbows out of her backside."

Blake whistled casually. "You really don't like this anime, do you?"
"The only characters who don't irritate me are either powerless to do anything or not doing anything. And even then, I'm getting close to losing it." The heiress responded. "Although I can just about tolerate the protagonists- at least they aren't racist…..bugaboos."
'I had to stoop to censoring myself. Tch.'

The Messenger from Kyoto

"…..so nothing of note happened in this episode apart from, you know, crashing a mountainside on an innocent town biting him on the backside." Weiss remarked, throwing her hands up in exasperatin. "Wonderful. Just wonderful."

Yang sighed, shaking her head. "…guess you were wrong about Shirley. See? You never get anything right."
"I'm still going to get my remark about Euphemia right, so be quiet."
"You said Mami would live the whole series." Blake pointed out helpfully. Weiss glared at her.

"That doesn't count. The whole thing was meant to be a deconstruction!"

Shirley at Gunpoint

"…..you're joking, right?" Weiss inquired, her eyes wide in disbelief. "You're telling me that Shirley, of all people, followed a resistance leader, didn't feel like running away from a fight between giant robots and had the guts to point a gun at someone who, as far as everyone is concerned, managed to kill an entire room full of armed soldiers by himself, even if he did just get blown out of a robot?

That…sounds about as likely as Euphemia taking up a gun and killing everyone. Or Yang getting a clue about her perversion."

"I'm embracing the freedom to be a pervert as much as I like!" Yang responded proudly. "And to be able to say, freely, that Blake is sexy is one of the best things ever!"
"D-did you have to use that example?!" The catgirl cried, blushing.

The heiress facepalmed. "If ever I find the one thing that makes you feel shame, I ought to write it down and spread it to everyone in the hope that maybe you'll feel as much shame as possible."
"Still…..yeah, that….I never understood how we're expected to believe that good, innocent little Shirley had the balls to pick up a gun and try to kill a rebel leader herself, even driven by grief." The brawler nodded in agreement. "Just doesn't make sense."

Geass vs. Geass

"And now some other person, with a Geass that lets him read minds, is now trying to screw with Lelouch, as if he didn't already have enough issues, what with his childhood friend trying to murder him, his admirer trying to murder him and running a resistance." Weiss remarked. "…this world's trying to murder him, I know it."

"I never understood why they had him just show up in the middle of the whole 'struggle for freedom' thing. I mean, Mao's pretty awesome himself, but…." Yang shrugged. "It's just a little weird that we're sidetracked from the whole thing.

Then again, it's important for later and explains a lot, but it just feels a little weird."
"Lelouch's Geass is ridiculous." The heiress complained. "…..he can make people forget whole years of their lives. Excellent.

Well, that basically made Shirley's whole role in the story useless, seeing as there's almost no way she'd be of any significance not remembering anything about him. Shoot the shaggy dog much?"

Cheering Mao

Ruby tilted her head. "….wooow. I can see why someone would go insane by having to hear everyone's thoughts everywhere.

I mean, he's obsessed with C.C. and got an innocent girl involved in his shenanigans, but you know."

Weiss rubbed her temples. "…..okay, so he's insane and willing to chop up the object of his affections into tiny bits to fit her into an airplane. Well.

WHAT KIND OF STUPID PLAN IS THAT?! GET A BETTER AIRPLANE NEXT TIME, MORON!"

Blake whistled. "Still, that is a pretty solid plan for someone who seems to be capable of surviving a piece of rock to the heart."

"Don't side with him!"

Nunnally Held Hostage

"And of course this Mao idiot survives and kidnaps an innocent girl. What is with people and trying to murder everyone else in this show? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just the Britannians, but come on, the resistance is throwing people off buildings, Mao's kidnapping handicapped blind girls…even Shirley's trying to shoot people….what is this?!" Weiss cried in exasperation. "Seriously!"

"Whew. That's awesome how he just kicked that camera off the ceiling." Ruby commented. "Where'd he learn to do that?"

"At least he gets killed off." The heiress muttered. "Which is more than he deserves. I mean, he ended up losing the ability to speak, but still!"

Yang chuckled. "My, my, we're getting a little serious about this, aren't we?"
Weiss held up a finger to her mouth. "Be quiet! I'm getting serious about the sheer stupidity I happen to be experiencing right this instant!"

Knight

"…alright, I'll give him that. I mean, it's a stupid tactical decision to just not blow him up then and there, even if he is your childhood friend, but I can see why Lelouch wouldn't want to just kill Suzaku even though he knows he's the mysterious pilot who's handed them their backsides on silver platters." Weiss admitted. "Fine. One decision I can't argue with.

…..also, Euphemia, you're just asking to get assassinated. Seriously, declaring, on public television, that a person who got accused of murdering a public official- one who's considered a second class citizen to boot- is now your personal knight…..I changed my mind. She's also a moron."
"That's romantic! Come on!" Yang complained. "You can't be telling me you hate that part."
"Nope, she's stupid. Seriously, she may be naïve, but come on, are you telling me she'd be naïve enough to think nobody would complain about that? They do, but seriously, what is she thinking?!" Weiss snapped, exasperated. "I'm starting to think this anime was written by a bunch of idiots."

Blake frowned. "Oh come on. This anime's not that bad. If you want bad, you should go watch SAO."
"You're saying that's worse than this?!"
"I love this!" Ruby interjected. "How could you not? I mean, true, there are some bad parts, but it's a pretty solid anime!"
"It just bugs me. Everything about it just bugs me."

I Order You, Suzaku Kururugi

"You may be a genius, Lelouch, but you're not pragmatic enough. Just kill Suzaku or something. Blow up his robot. Frame him. Poison him!" Weiss snapped. "He's the only reason bar Cornelia your Black Knights lose every time they fight you!"
Yang shrugged. "Well, I mean they could kill Suzaku, but then they lose a potential asset. I mean, the Lancelot is a pretty strong Frame, and he's the only person who knows how to use it."

"Wonderful." The heiress sighed. "Well….once again they get screwed over because suddenly convenient bombing!"

Island of the Gods

"…alright? They're all stranded on an island and somehow survived that." Weiss remarked. "Cool. Alright. What's going on here then?"
"…..that's cute." Yang scoffed. "Lelouch, you can't do anything physical, just drop it. Even your sister can do better than you and she doesn't exactly seem the type to do outdoorsy stuff."

"…..well. That was just….what?" The heiress scratched her head, confusedly. "What….okay, so the only things we found out this episode are that the Geass ability does random things with mysterious places and that we could've skipped to the next one without missing much. Alright then.

That was….well, a little pointless. I mean, what happened here could've happened elsewhere."

Blake rolled her eyes. "You complain too much."
"I'm just sick of watching people clutch idiot balls and do stupid things when they could have finished things ages ago with less fuss." The heiress muttered. "Given you people make me watch anime and read things with people doing this kind of thing too much, it gets irritating to experience."

Battle for Kyushu

Weiss harrumphed. "Just as well. Quislings are quislings, no matter who they decide to serve.

Independent Japan, my foot. Collaborating with a different empire to fight another one and giving up your freedom basically means nothing."

"Meh. It was just awesome that those two actually kicked butt back-to-back for once. Even if normally they'd be at each other's throats." Yang admitted. "Also, d'awwwww, love confessions!"

Weiss snorted. "I hereby command you to love me? Seriously?"

"That sounds like something you'd say." Ruby pointed out cheerily.

"Whose side are you on?!"

"You're, well, you." Blake pointed out. "If anything, the line fits more on you than Euphie."
"…you know, I don't even know if I should be insulted or flattered that you compared me to her."

Declaration at the School Festival

"…..oh, absolutely wonderful, she hijacks a festival to announce a zone where Japanese people can be Japanese." Weiss sighed for the umpteenth time. "Dammit, Euphemia, you are not helping your survival chances. Seriously."
Yang shrugged. "Maybe, you know, she actually doesn't survive? Come on, I mean, seriously, don't you think-"
"Like I said, they won't kill her off. Her character is just far too obvious. Too innocent. It'd make her the obvious choice to kill." The heiress explained. "Come on, even you can see that."

Bloodstained Euphie

"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Weiss roared, disbelieving. "SERIOUSLY?! THAT…NO! COME ON!

OF COURSE! C.C WARNS YOU ABOUT LOSING CONTROL OF YOUR GEASS, YOU'VE SEEN SOMEONE LOSE CONTROL OF IT AND THEN YOU START LOSING CONTROL OF IT, AND YOU COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO WEAR AN EYEPATCH OR SOMETHING?!"

Yang was busy laughing. "Calm down! It's just a show, Weiss!"
"It's STUPID is what it is!" The heiress snapped angrily. "What was Lelouch doing, hugging the idiot ball?! You fool!

Well, nicely done, you screwed up your own sister's plans, made her try to kill everyone you're trying to protect all because you were careless and didn't take precautions to stop something you knew was going haywire!"

At Least With Sorrow

Weiss crossed her arms, irritated.

"Well, nicely done. Thanks to your carelessness, you had to shoot and kill your own sister." The heiress declared, sighing. "Idiot. That….that death shouldn't count."
"Told ya." Yang reminded her matter-of-factly. "I told you she'd be dead."
"I assumed the way she'd die wasn't going to be because the main protagonist had a moment where his brain turned to mush inside his skull and decided that he wouldn't lose control of his Geass right when he started losing control of it!" Weiss retorted. "Seriously, did they have to do that just to kill her off? I'm pretty sure they didn't need to pull something out of their backsides to make that work!"

Ruby shrugged. "It happens. Stuff happens. Well…..this is bad. Oh dear, and now he's breaking cities down.

That escalated quickly."

The Collapsing Stage

Weiss had her head in her hands, just shaking her head. "Just….wonderful. Well, at least I know that this series wasted my time. Seriously, what kind of stupid plot twist was that? This wouldn't even have happened if Lelouch knew what he was doing!

And now they're taking over his own school and now everyone wants to kill him, which I'm not surprised about!"
Yang shrugged. "Stuff happens. And daaaamn Cornelia looks pissed."

Zero

"…that…..that was absolutely…..WHAT." Weiss stood up, seething at the ending. "So….what, is that it? The Black Knights lose because Lelouch has a big brother complex, and he just gets thrashed?! Is that it?!

So you're telling me that was all for nothing?! That stupid plot twist ruined it all! Screw this!"

The heiress stormed out, irritated at the ending.

Blake sighed. "…..I'm guessing we're never getting her to watch the rest of the show."
Yang shook her head, sighing. "Nope, I don't think so.

…..and we're never showing Euphie Arc this, agreed?"
"…..I don't see why that'd be a problem, but eh." The catgirl shrugged.

"…..so, wanna go out for dinner?" The brawler inquired, looking around casually. "I'm pretty bored already. Ooh, maybe we should check out that new diner around the corner from the shopping center!"
Ruby shrugged casually. "Sure, why not."
"Eh. Sounds good to me." Blake commented. "I'm game."

END

A/N: Well. I stress this- Weiss' opinion does not reflect my opinion on Code Geass.

Except the part about Euphie's death. That was just plain stupid, for reasons which I won't explain here.

Anyway, next chapter, courtesy of The Layman, we will be reacting to the fanfic Stages next!

So, I hope you enjoyed that, leave your ideas, comments, criticisms, thoughts, reviews and suggestions, and I hope you have a GREAT day! Until next time!
