CODE GEASS: TRAINWRECK OF THE REBELLION EPS 15-16

(SPOILER ALERT: THIS TOTALLY CONTAINS SPOILERS)

What this show needed was a character so crazy that he makes all the other characters look normal. And, we got that, in the form of the loveable chainsaw-wielding Mao. He was the one who pushed Shirley to the brink of murder/suicide last episode. Then he shows up here with his awesome plan to chop C.C. into pieces so he can fit her in his carry on and take her back to Australia. She's also like his adopted mother/sister/lover, so its all good. He gets shot like 30 times at the end of this episode, but that doesn't stop him. He has like, medical technology or some shit.

So he comes back in episode 16, this time strapping Lelouch's sister to a ridiculous bomb/chess doomsday device. We get to see Lelouch and Suzaku work together in buddy cop fashion, until Mao spills the beans that Suzaku murdered his father when he was still a child. So, he's actually probably about as crazy as Lelouch. Mao gets shot in the neck at the end of this one, but I'm hoping he doesn't let that keep him down. This guy is great! I mean, if you go megalomaniacal super-villain, go all the way. Forget all that annoying wishy-washy "Will murdering all these people make my sister happy?" Mao's all like, "Fuck your sister, I strapped her to a TIME BOMB."
