#339 - Season 1 Ends

For several days, the fan discussions about the "Lelouch" TV series have sparked immense heat in the Xia Guo drama circles.

Before the premiere of the twelfth episode, the vast majority of fans felt that this was an epic story of the protagonist Lelouch's rise to power, and everyone thought it was a refreshing and satisfying drama.

Although there were distressing episodes such as Shirley losing her memory, overall, a teenager who became the protagonist of the world in less than a year, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, competing with the Britannia Empire in Area 11, it was unimaginable for many to have such a heaven-defying life.

But after this episode aired, many viewers were also silent.

If it were them, would they choose to obtain such achievements at the cost of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone?

Although the plot does not explicitly state that Lelouch's actions will be exposed, fans in Xia Guo and overseas TV series circles are well aware that if a masked character appears, there will definitely be a plotline revealing his true identity!

The protagonist Lelouch uses the identity of Zero to control the Black Knights in the war against the Britannia Empire. If Zero's identity is not revealed by the end of the series, then the script will undoubtedly be a failure.

Zero's legendary rise and the revelation of Zero's identity are the two biggest expectations of the "Lelouch" fans in Xia Guo for this drama.

And the current plot has basically determined that no matter how tortuous the process is, when the truth of everything Lelouch has done is revealed at the end of the drama, he may become a king, but he will no longer have a friend or a relative by his side.

Lelouch's drama fans have gradually realized this.

And their speculation was quickly confirmed.

In the last episode of the first season of "Lelouch," the plot was the same as everyone had guessed before. The Black Knights led by Lelouch launched a counterattack against the Britannia Empire's army in Area 11.

Suzaku, who had predicted Lelouch's identity, broke through his bottom line. Overwhelmed by the death of Euphemia, Suzaku used Lelouch's sister Nunnally as a threat.

Although it is impossible to 100% confirm that Zero is Lelouch, it doesn't matter. If the guess is correct, Zero will definitely take the bait.

If the guess is wrong, Suzaku can also take the opportunity to protect his best friend's sister. After all, with the Black Knights launching a general offensive, Nunnally, as a Britannia, can hardly be considered safe.

For Suzaku, this step is the best no matter what.

But for Lelouch, Nunnally being taken away is like being hit in his vitals.

So this is the biggest difference between TV series and reality.

TV series can be ruthless to the protagonist, but there must be a bottom line.

Lelouch's bottom line is his sister, his human bottom line is also his sister. He did not start the war for his own desires, but to create a world where his sister can live freely without worrying about her royal identity being discovered, and continue to live the life of being used as a political tool by her emperor father.

Therefore, Lelouch was liked by a group of anime fans in Su Yan's previous life.

He is not a good person, but at least he is a smart person, a human being.

But if you study the lives of many so-called great and powerful rulers in history, you will find that they are pretending to be human, doing things without any bottom line. Words like morality and humanity have nothing to do with them. It's just that they won, so they are just, but precisely because of this...

The "Lelouch" TV series will have a second season because Lelouch still has humanity, so he failed.

Because Lelouch is still a human being, still has a bottom line, and still has family affection, he will be led by the nose by Suzaku and run to Kamine Island alone.

In the thirteenth episode of the first season, didn't Lelouch know that Nunnally's kidnapping was a trap?

But he still went.

If he didn't go and abandoned his sister Nunnally, then with Lelouch commanding the frontal battlefield, plus the Britannia main general Princess Cornelia being captured alive by Lelouch, the script should have been a major defeat for the Britannia army.

However, the final result was completely the opposite.

Because the commander of the Black Knights' battlefield, the main general Lelouch, abandoned his troops and the soldiers fighting for him at the moment of fierce battle, and desperately left the battlefield to save his sister.

He is not a qualified leader.

But he is definitely a qualified brother!

The morale of his soldiers plummeted because of his departure.

Everyone thought Zero had abandoned them.

And on Kamine Island, Lelouch, as Zero, confronted his good friend Suzaku head-on.

His mask was shattered by Suzaku, revealing his true face.

This fact was witnessed by both Kallen and Suzaku.

And the last episode of Lelouch's first season ended with Lelouch and Suzaku pointing guns at each other with murderous intent, and then shooting together.

That night, Lelouch's fans felt very heavy after seeing this scene.

But what followed was huge resentment.

"What is this? It ends here?"

"I spat out a mouthful of old blood. Su Yan, are you human?!"

"So what is the final outcome of Lelouch and Suzaku shooting each other?"

"Mutual destruction?"

"And Lelouch's mother, why did she guess that someone was going to attack her and still let Cornelia withdraw the soldiers protecting her?"

"Are you still burying foreshadowing in the last episode?"

"It made me feel down. This ending, how can it be called an ending? Shouldn't it be broadcast for two more minutes?"

"Too short, too short, protest."

"It made me want to cry. I thought Lelouch was not human in the last episode, but in this episode, I was moved by his choice again!"

"Alas, so after all, the only truly indispensable thing in the world for Lelouch is his sister Nunnally!"

"He is too selfish. His sister is a human, aren't the soldiers of the Black Knights under his command human? As the main general, abandoning his soldiers to save his sister, is this something a human can do?"

"If you look through history books, you can find hundreds of so-called powerful rulers who killed their fathers, mothers, wives, children, and friends in order to become emperors. Can you find a few who gave up the world for their relatives? You still want to criticize him for this? You wouldn't really stand in the ruling class to think about the problem, would you? If I were Lelouch, if someone threatened me with the lives of my parents, wife, and children, I would surrender immediately. Even if you become the emperor, what's the point of all your relatives being dead?"

"That's right, although Lelouch is selfish, I hope that such a person is my relative and friend. I don't really look up to those historical figures who sacrificed their families for the sake of their great cause!"

"It's a pity, Lelouch and Euphemia, why, why is it such an ending!"

"In fact, the most disgusting character in this work is Suzaku. He is obviously from Area 11, but in order to end the war, he personally killed his father when he was a child, leading to the rapid defeat of Area 11. After growing up, he joined the Britannia Empire, saying that he would change Britannia from the inside. This is the real disgusting thing."

"Suzaku is so righteous that he seems evil, which makes people feel hypocritical!"

"Saints exist in books, I will worship them, but if saints exist in reality and are still by my side, I will stay far away from him! Suzaku is like this, his ideas are too idealistic, no one can stand him!"

"When will the second season come out? It's so uncomfortable, this cliffhanger!"
