Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture #7 Reactions: Jugo being an absolute chad and getting hollowed-out Ash back on his feet!

Commenter

Lord Walter showing loyalty after seeing right through it. Roze digging into Ash's past at Lavender Home. Nicole, his sickly little brother killed by Norland, and meeting Sumeragi Jugo. Ash didn't even need Geass to be on their side in the first place. Christoph capturing Roze, and Arnold getting modded.

Commenter

The "favorite things" convo between Jugo and Ash in ep 7 is honestly one of my fav scenes in Roze. It's so easy to just casually say "I hate this." No responsibility attached. But coming from Jugo, who's too kind and knows those words hurt and breed conflict, and Ash, who's lived such a hard life… man, that scene hits different.

Commenter

Ep 7 reveals Ash was a war orphan. The sister telling his past makes it clear he's had a brutal life. Totally get why he totally panicked losing his bro right in front of him. Meeting Jugo and building that bond makes his pre-execution backstory heavy af. Learning the truth about Ash's "I killed him" claim and Roze getting caught just made this 10x more interesting.

Commenter

I simp so hard for Christoph calling them "missy" and "bud." Seriously. I mean, he's this lanky old guy yet insanely strong with crazy good judgment, plus the way he handles the end/his death style… I just love him. Such a great character.

Commenter

So Walter used to be late Sherry's knight! Keeping that intense loyalty for all these years… dude was totally head over heels for her fr!!

Commenter

What a tragic end…… Meeting Jugo must've saved Ash from total despair. And now current Ash is keeping his promise to protect Sakuya!

Commenter

Total 180 from last ep's ending—Walter turns out to be a real ride-or-die for Lady Sakuya ✨ With Nara too, the fact that the Einberg ain't a monolith at all is actually a huge relief.

Commenter

The fact that Ash's advice is literally just regurgitated Christoph shows how deeply ingrained Christoph's brutal training is in him…

Commenter

Bro just stopped by to fuel his bike, got Geassed, bike stolen, locked up by Christoph, experimented on, tortured, and killed. Pouring one out for this absolute legend.

Commenter

Is that Bismarck (RIP, sliced clean in half by Suzaku)! Figures that Knights of the Round would all be old acquaintances with Norland too.

Commenter

Never seen anyone executed using a method like "tasting dango on two skewers so it won't spin around when you bite it" in my life!!😭😭😭

Commenter

That's literally the bondage pose Kallen wore out in doujins⋯ Royal armpit-reveal bondage is exclusive to Eleven terrorists, I see.

Commenter

Even starting to think "maybe my read on this was wrong," Roze still won't stop casually dropping Geass on random civilians.

Commenter

The guy who made everyone think doing a poses was mandatory for Geass is paying for his crimes in hell…. So serious yet I burst out laughing lol.

Commenter

Like that trope where you meet Sumeragi Jugo while locked up and go through some stuff even though you know you're gonna die~

Commenter

Leaders with actual charisma and a moral compass are major threats to the opposing side, so keeping 'em alive makes zero sense…

Commenter

Roze accidentally putting a Geass on bro Ash—who’s got this exact kind of trauma regarding his little brother—is peak irony….

Commenter

Hearing backstory like this makes it impossible to laugh at disguised Sakuya and Ash messing around wtf lol.

Commenter

Where do I sign up for the ecchi bondage outfit meeting? Is it strictly executive-tier only or what?

Commenter

Sucks big time that you gotta strike a cool pose just to use Geass. Lelouch's Geass was actually built diff.

Commenter

Thought it was just Ash-niisan's usual nagging habit, but turns out he learned it (grudgingly on both sides) straight from the master~~

Commenter

Ash boy, I get what you're trying to say and I feel your vibes back then, but your wording is trash……

Commenter

Wait, I thought they were switching between Roze and Sakuya using some weird magic power, but it was literally just a physical wig the whole time…?

Commenter

Got Geassed while striking an aesthetic pose…. Okay, time to spill everything about Ash Phoenix…….

Commenter

Walter-ojisan snapping and then snapping back to apologize like a domestic abuser makes him way scarier now.

Commenter

Ugh, the Neo-Britannia styled captive princess look turning the prisoner uniform into *that* is something else, absolute cinema!

Commenter

Ash asking if Jugo's daughter is cute in the middle of this mess? Bro is 100% ready to propose.

Commenter

Does anyone actually notice his hair turning white in the literal split second he ambushed Norland on first watch?

Commenter

Glad you finally found someone you like, Ash…… (even if the outcome was *that*)

Commenter

Ash Phoenix: The man officially approved to marry Sakuya (though Sakuya has no idea)

Commenter

Totally a pacing issue so it can't be helped, but a random nun knowing way too much always cracks me up.

Commenter

Is he treating Jugo so gently just because Jugo saved the guard's wife and kid?

Commenter

Jugo-san, Ash-kun is currently a stalker silently materializing right behind your daughter……

Commenter

Both Sakuya and Ash had their own reasons, but this is just way too depressing 😭

Commenter

Could they not have come up with a better way to tie Sakuya up…… she's getting treated way worse than Jugo was.

Commenter

Britannia suspect detention tech is way too good at catering to fetishes, gotta give 'em credit for that.

Commenter

Shouldn't it be a massive problem if some random nun already knows about the assassination attempt?????

Commenter

Huh…? Thought we were totally screwed for a second there, but this guy's actually gonna help us…?

Commenter

Nah fr tho, why did he turn so violent out of nowhere? What is up with this old man's abusive mood swings?

Commenter

Bro sharing an umbrella but using 100% of his effort to shield his little bro while getting soaked himself is top tier big bro energy.

Commenter

Nara seeing this and reacting like *that*… And here comes Jugo… literally one of the biggest saints in the series.

Commenter

Bro knew he was never walking out of there, so that was literally his whole strategy…

Commenter

Shota-era Ash-niisan before his eyes got sharp is super rare to see…

Commenter

The price for using Geass on random bullshit is brutal af, just like with Euphie.

Commenter

You ambush a half-naked girl straight out of the bath and expect that to fly?????????

Commenter

Ash-niisan's streak of white hair being stress-induced trauma hits so damn hard man~

Commenter

(Why on earth did this old guy bother changing her into a spicy outfit anyway)

Commenter

So Walter's basically someone who isn't a threat to Sakuya, at least for now?

Commenter

Yeah no, Walter ambushing a bath can't be excused just by claiming "it's for my loyalty" lol.

Commenter

Jugo is literally one of the purest, actual saints in the entire Geass franchise•••

Commenter

Not scared of dying, but the thought of never seeing Sakuya again hurts……… or so he says.

Commenter

Glad you found your favorite (Raspberry-san), Ash…

Commenter

(Honestly not as much of a "basically I killed him" situation as I thought⋯)

Commenter

The irony of Sakuya not even needing to use Geass, just like Lulu.

Commenter

Why does Britannia always make everyone wear spicy outfits????????

Commenter

Gotta hand it to them, the tech to make KMFs move that fluidly is actually nuts.

Commenter

Wonder what kind of chain of events led up to that ultra cool pose⋯

Commenter

Stop dropping death flags like "It's a promise." You tryna get yourself killed or what?

Commenter

Ash-niisan is literally losing his mind from doing all this dirty work…

Commenter

Nicole getting hacked to pieces⋯ Now they can reuse this flashback as many times as they want.

Commenter

Ash… I guess you found someone you like… Raspberry-san…

Commenter

No way…… that's crossing the line, you can't do *that* to the kid.

Commenter

Why do Sunrise's Nicoles always gotta bite the dust man.

Commenter

She was already his "most precious thing" even without the Geass.

Commenter

Did Neo-Britannia seriously fail this badly at hiring prison guards?????????

Commenter

But Ash-niisan didn't even kill Jugo•••

Commenter

I literally used Geass on Ash almost on reflex….

Commenter

Ash… you didn't kill him. It's not your fault, Ash…

Commenter

Who on earth signed off on making the prisoner outfits this thirsty?

Commenter

Gotta admit, that Geass deployment style is peak Lelouch-level aesthetic.

Commenter

Always complaining yet getting the job done, typical Catherine.

Commenter

"Sorry for roughing you up"… as if that cuts it…

Commenter

(Do you actually need that pose to cast Geass……?)

Commenter

So Ash-niisan actually had a real little brother named Nicole.

Commenter

Bro, are you really the type of character who gets flashback screentime lol.

Commenter

Honestly wouldn't even be happy about becoming a Knight of the Round.

Commenter

Sakuya's dad Jugo is looking pretty brazen.

Commenter

Ah, so the gas station thing finally came back to bite him.

Commenter

Did Sakuya learn that Geass pose straight from Lelouch or what.

Commenter

Ash's shoulder is soaking wet while Nicole's dry…

Commenter

Should've just sent the little bro back to the orphanage tbh…

Commenter

Ash when asked his favorite things: "Nic…… coffee"

Commenter

How the hell does this nun know all that stuff anyway?
