Wait, you call that one an asspull, but not the moment where he suddenly decides to be a master hacker and resurrect his dead daughteru, and despite having the hacking prowess to recreate/restore an entire artificial intelligence he decides not to just hack himself out of the game which probably would have just been a simple on/off command to bring back the logout button?

The first couple of episodes were maybe a 7/10 for me, but it tanked to a 3/10 pretty much the moment Yui walked on screen. At least it still had one or two decent fights left in the series' run, but it wasn't enough to save the show by any measure.

I'm pretty sure you dont understand what an asspull is. Euphie becoming a victim to Lelouch made perfect sense and didnt come out of nowhere. Dude he was trying to geass the shit out of her just moments before. Him losing control fit his "I'm better than you all" madnesd perfection fine. Look up what asspull means.
>>
>>150354998
Except it wasn't an asspull

This shit with his Geass was already foreshadowed with Mao, and with Lelouch being an arrogant prick already. That whole situation was painful to watch, but that's because it was a product of Lulu's Hubris and character flaws.

If you actually watched the show you'd know this.

I know i'm just responding to memes but I love me some CG discussion
>>
Why is this fag spamming these threads? I don't get it.
>>
>>150355425
No that kind of does. An Asspull is usually a new power used to resolve your current situation with little or no warning that you had that power.

They had hinted ahead ahead of time that Lelouch would eventually lose control of Geass like C.C. and the moment it happened was closer to a Diaboli Ex Machina.

It was about as far from an Asspull as you could get, and this series was full of them.

It wasn't even that.

I rewatched it recently - Lulu had an eye-pain bs earlier, prior to Euphie telling him she's giving up her claim to the throne.

He ignored a sign of warning, and he didn't consider the possibility of his dumb words being used as an order, when he already knows there's a possibility of losing control of his Geass.

And even that is in character for him, since Lulu was already known for being an analytical genius, but really, really dumb that he never considers off the board possibilities, like the second group of terrorists he tries using against Cornelia not being as hardened as Ougi's group

See, if the magical wish bullshit only brought back Ushio it would have been a 10/10 ending in my opinion. The wish thing was established and hinted towards from the very beginning.

Instead we have 100% of all emotional investment in the show ripped away from us because it needs a happy ending.

What the fuck are you on about?

The incident was a direct result of Lelouch's character flaws and was foreshadowed and warned of well in advance.

It was fucking rage inducing how frustrating it was, but it wasn't an ass pull of any kind. There's a lot of stupid random nonsense in Code Geass but that bloodbath is not one of them.

It was stated that he would eventually lose control of his geass.

It was never stated on how long it takes for a Geass to go bad nor are there any signs of it going bad. It's a plot card the writer can activate whenever he wants i.e an asspull.

>>150356642
Don't know how random glowing means "you're Geass is permanent next ep" Again you're never given a time frame. It could have been 1 episode later or 20 later. And of course Lelouch and CC just ignore it. And you also don't know in what way his Geass will go wrong, another thing the author can just make up. A new and sudden rule that can happen whenever you want and however you want is most certainly an asspull.

>And the humour was him actually being serious as it literally happened right afterwards.

You define asspull. I asked first. Clearly, Lelouch losing control over his geass at that exact same moment is unrealistically convenient for the people who write Code Geass. They literally pulled it out of their ass, so to speak.

Yes retard it's an asspull.
There's no difference between Lelouch suddenly gaining permanent Geass so that the Princess can go on a rampage and a shounen protag suddenly gaining a new power that lets him beat a villian. Only difference is that it's inconvenient for the protag in CG.
>>
An ass pull is when a character comes up with a never-before-seen power just in the nick of time, therefore winning the fight. An ass pull either has a completely unbelievable explanation or the writer conveniently forgets to add one in.

What happened to Euphie wasnt anything out of nowhere.

Look, tranny, even if you ignore all the foreshadowing and how it was very thematically fitting, a condition for asspull is that the writing has to have written itself into a corner. Geass didn't write itself into a corner before Euphenator. Lelouch's plan from the very beginning was to geass her to shoot zero, which would've incited the elevens to riot (likewise in 'kill all japanese lol'). The writers could've simply gone with that and the story would've headed in the exact same direction. All 'kill all japanese lol' did was dial the drama and ridiculousness to 11. Maybe you didn't like that, but that has jack shit to do with whether the whole thing was an asspull or not.

>>150357644
No, shonen asspulls look like "You could have used my Reitsu multiplier" shit from Bleach that came out of nowhere and solved the problem in a way that defies all known capabilities of the characters.

The timing for Lelouche to lose control of his Geass was just dramatic. Almost on a Shakespearean level of drama, but it was properly foreshadowed with Mao and all the talk of one day losing control of the Geass, Lelouche just assumed he was too good to ever lose control and got cocky which is his entire fucking character when it comes to not on the battlefield shit.

Actually good foreshadowing would be something like subtly showing Lelouch give a simple command to a grunt and he follows it as if it was a Geass order but Lelouch doesn't notice because he wasn't thinking about such a trivial command.

"Lol Lelouch your power may go bad but we don't know when or how" isn't good foreshadowing

It would've been predictable as hell by then. At this point you're nitpicking because you don't like how sudden it was.

>>150358837
That's why I said do it subtly.

>>150358787
And?
That still doesn't change the foreshadowing from "Lol you're power may go bad but we don't know when or how"

It's a diabolus ex machina. Nowhere before was it established that his geass was going to go out of control right then and there. Also the fact that both him and CC decide to ignore the warning signs were very OOC for both of them.

>>150354998
If by asspull you mean properly foreshadowed, masterfully executed and completely unpredictable plot twist then you are right
>>
>>150354998
So not only do people defend this scene but they actually think it was good writing? What the fuck, /a/?
>>
>>150359125
You want it subtle but you want them to explicitly explain how the power is going to go wrong? Are you retarded?

Go on, write us up an example of how the execution could be improved. If you can't think of one, your opinion is useless

...so rather than posting asspulls in anime, we have instead a couple idiots arguing over the definition of an asspull.

It was literally shown already that Geass can go out of control. It was more of a stupid action by Lulu than an asspull.

>An Asspull is a moment when the writers pull something out of thin air in a less-than-graceful narrative development, violating the Law of Conservation of Detail by dropping a plot-critical detail in the middle, or near the end of their narrative without Foreshadowing or dropping a Chekhov's Gun earlier on.
In cases where a character suddenly gets a new skill without explanation, it's usually explained away as a Chekhov's Classroom or Chekhov's Skill, except the audience never saw the character attending the lecture in question, or any prior examples of him or her using, or even training that skill.

>without foreshadowing

so if you thought the eupie thing was bad writing, which a lot of people would agree with you, that isn't the same as an asspull.

>lets give a character some bullshit hax power
>now instead of writing a interesting fight where all characters team up to think of new ways of taking the fucker down, lets just take the easy way out and disable his power and reduce the fight to "SWING YOUR SWORD HARDER"

Its somewhat annoying because either they tried that arrow in the past and Juha would have defenses ready for the same bullshit, or the arrow is a untested thing they got together in the last second, which means everyone in that fight was retarded enough to bet their lives on something that was never field tested and could backfire and actually make Juha stronger.

And they cant even say they tested it before because Juha is the only Almighty user of the entire bleach universe.

This.

It was utterly stupid and badly written. People who defend this are complete morons who probably arrived here in 2008 straight from gaia.

It's possible for a good writer to reveal information without stating it out right.

Three main ways I convince myself it works
>UBW is faster than GoB, all Gilgamesh's weapons are destroyed before or just before they fire, removing his biggest advantage
>In close combat Gilgamesh needs to open GoB, summon the weapon, then draw it, while the weapon just spontaneously appears in Shirou's hand, so the agility difference is less important because Shirou can always move first and force Gilgamesh to react
>Strength is irrelevant in this fight because Shirou turns all swords used in the melee in BP's so both weapons are destroyed on impact

It traps Gilgamesh in a loop where he can do nothing but defend, Shirou can't really win this fight either but since all he needed to do was buy a couple minutes it works out well for him.

Yeah no shit, but I'm asking how this faggot thinks it could be done better than it already has been
>>
>>150357850
Actually, his originl plan was for her to shoot Lelouch, thereby turning Zero into a still living martyr (what do you call those?)for the japs to rally behind in order to crease the size of his army, while also permanently destroying whatever scraps of credit Britainnia had left with the japanese people.
>>
>>150360692
No
I'm arguing that "This bad thing can happen but we don't know when or how" isn't good foreshadowing. It's just a ticking timebomb for an asspull.
>>
>>150357112
>Should have been "Marry me."

That wouldn't make sense as a command that she would never otherwise do though.
>>
>>150361244
Why do you have to know when or how? Foreshadowing doesn't require a timeframe or a specified method. It just has to show that the possibility exists
>>
>>150357241
What makes it an asspull is the line itself.

>hahaha I could have even told you to "KILL ALL JAPANESE!!" and you would have done it (the madwoman!).
>Geass proccs

Its hamfisted as fuck. Why would someone even say that?
>>
>>150361410
>Foreshadowing doesn't require a timeframe or a specified method.

Good foreshadowing requires more than a character saying "it could happen"
>>
>>150361768
She said expressly that it will happen.

It was even shown earlier in the same episode how Lulu almost caused a guy to kill himself.
>>
>>150354998
I can't name a bigger asspull because this isn't an asspull.

At worst it was shitty writing (it isn't), and at best its you being autistic (it is).

The one where Kira Yamato should've been vaporized but lived in SEED, it's worse in Destiny.

>yo i could have told you to go full 1488 on the elevens and you'd have done it this geass thing is some fucking crazy shit Euphie
>this is somehow supposed to be interpreted as an order

That's the worst part of it by far. The Geass going haywire doesn't change a statement into a command.
>>
>>150363077
>Kill all the Japanese
Is still a fucking command

>go full 1488 on the elevens
Is still a command
>>
>>150363129
Then she'd have done every goddamn verb he said leading up to it.
>>
>>150363129
