(SPOILER ALERT: THIS TOTALLY CONTAINS SPOILERS)
Episode 4 marks the unveiling of Lelouch’s evil tuxedo mask costume which he uses to conceal his identity while making public appearances. Calling himself ‘Zero’, he makes fools out of the remaining Britannian leadership and rescues Suzaku before he can be tried and executed. Suzaku, apparently a guy who can never break any rules ever, immediately turns himself back in and then is acquitted anyway. Meanwhile a princess literally falls on him from the sky and they have a play date. Somehow this all culminates with Suzaku enrolling in the same school as Lelouch.
The show continues to position Suzaku and Lelouch as dramatic foils, to the point where if they aren’t killing each other or dating by the end of season 1, I will be seriously disappointed. I appreciate that the mech battles continue to be sweet with Suzaku being badder than Bruce Lee once he’s behind the controls of his experimental super-bot. However, the story slowed down a bit here, and what is happening (like Suzaku going to school) doesn’t make a lot of sense yet. All I can do is watch on and hope for more fight scenes.
