It's french and translates to the following: "le coup" - generally a "strike", can be a punch, a shot, just any form of violent force that's directed "de" - an indicitive preposition, can be "of", "from", "for", etc. "l'état (m)" - "the state" i.e. the ruling gouvernment Therefore: "a strike against the gouvernment", an attempt to overthrow the current rulers.

4:43 well in his defense he knew kirihara taizou, the man who originally lied about Prime Minister Kururugi's murder. Even Suzaku knew Zero was well connected, so there was no reason to suspect lelouch.

LMAO This video made me remember beautiful memories with Code Geass and our super hero Lelouch . thanQ for making this video !!

Lelouch my beloved, he's not like other boys.

Rather than eat 1000 needles, Lelouch chose to eat a single, very large needle.

This honestly had me laughing so hard. XD Code Geass is my favorite anime of all time, but I cannot deny how ridiculous it can be sometimes. XD lol. I guess that's the other reason I love it so much. :) Please tell me you'll make another video like this for the rest of season 1 and season 2. I absolutely loved this. It was hilarious. Great work! Best wishes and God bless you!!!

The least belivable part about the cat chase scene, is that the cat even ran with the helmet on it's head. Any cat owner would know that once they get something on their head, it's like they stop working. They start going backwards

As smart as Lelouch is, he's kinda dumb and/or on dangerously thin ice half the time The show only truly knows/takes advantage of this 80% of the time

Honestly I low-key feel like the filler in Code Geass is underrated. I can see why people hate it though, it's a huge tone shift from the rest of the show, the side characters were just plain annoying more often than not, it feels like the story stops moving forward for no reason (I disagree with the "no reason" but we'll get into that later), and the execution of many episodes was _questionable_ to say the least. But personally I still enjoyed it overall. The tone shift helped to offer a breather from the intensity of the rest of the show, and honestly I found a lot of it entertaining just from how dumb it was. In my opinion it also in some ways helped to give an additional perspective on Lelouch as a character. In most of the show his theatrics seem baddass as he finds ingenious ways to control the battlefield and weasel his way out of tricky situations, and this is how I imagine Lelouch sees himself. But when put into the context of something as small and stupid as chasing a cat, his prideful, larger than life personality starts to look a lot more goofy, a lot less clever, and just less glamerous overall. This is how I imagine the rest of the world sees him, and this divide between how others see him and how he sees himself helps to humanise Lelouch. It also helps to reinforce the reoccuring theme in his arc of Lelouch viewing the world as a chess board, where all the peices can be known and controlled, only for him to get smacked in the face with the reality that the world isn't like that and he barely has control over anything. And arguably the most important aspect of the filler (in season 1 at least) was the stakes (as silly as that might sound). The action and strategies in the show definitely can offer a lot of tension, but ultimately on their own what they can do is limited. The reality is that Lelouch just isn't going to die in some random battle early on. He might suffer setbacks, but at the end of the day Lelouch will probably win just by virtue of the fact that this is his story. As a result, the stakes of the show are usually so high that they don't provide much tension. Or at least this would be the case without the filler. Because what's at risk in season 1 isn't really failure, it's this dumb, annoying, but relatively carefree school-life which offers Lelouch the only real happiness he's had since his mother's death. And what makes this work is that the show makes it abunently clear from the start (to me at least) that this cannot last. As a result almost the entire 1st season (especially the filler) has a subtle feeling of dread as you know that at some point, in some way, Lelouch is going to loose his relationships with the only real friends he has, and some of them (*cough cough* Susaku) are almost guarunteed to end up becoming sworn enemies. You know it's going to happen, you just don't know when or how. I want to make it clear though that I'm not trying to argue that the filler in Code Geass is some kind of cinematic masterpiece, because it's really not. The fact of the matter is that it seriously hurt a lot of people's enjoyment of the show, and that is a definite flaw which should not be overlooked. I'm not trying to persuade anyone into liking it either, the reality is that if you didn't like the filler to begin with then there's no way a youtube comment is going to change that. I just wanted to offer an alternitive perspective on the filler that I personally haven't seen anywhere else.

[@mangolassipuppy]

In my opinion the fillers of Code Geass weren't to prolong the series or to break the flow of heavy scenes.. Rather it's to show that lelouch was indeed a teenage boy with very limited power even with geass . He was leading a double life . His geass didn't necessarily assure him victory rather his brilliant strategic plans &sheer intelligence .. He's a charismatic leader as zero but in reality He's just a school boy with big ambitions & the capability to actually change the world rather than just whining or complaining ... These filler episodes (although i never considered them to be fillers ) humanizes lelouch & makes him an anti hero not a villain . That's what makes him different from characters like light or Johan Liebert or even Eren from AOT .. Lelouch wasn't some ex machina but his resiliency , determination & being conscious about moral values is what makes him great .. That's why when lelouch describes happiness as a glass hits hard ... The Side characters may seem annoying to viewers depending upon their taste but those side characters were precious for lelouch & kept him grounded & didn't let him lose his way in so much bloodshed .. Lelouch literally sheds tear for euphy & shirly .. Never tried to justify his actions towards euphy no matter how it was beyond his control. Distanced himself from kallen to keep her safe , used geass on suzaku to live even though he was adamant in never using geass on his friend , sympathized with rolo . treasured his sister , defied his parents pov of ideal world even though his initial motivation to start the rebellion was to avenge his mother .. Till the very end he kept himself isolated & suffered alone to protect his friends . He died as Vilian while he established world peace in the most realistic & practical way possible .. There's a reason why lelouch is still the greatest MC even after more than decades of the show concluded ...
