Did Lelouch kill Euphemia because he was jealous of Suzaku?
>Lelouch has the highest birthright, but no rank or power
>Suzaku is from a conquered slave people, but has one of the highest ranks and is fairly powerful
>Conflict of personalitites
>Euphemia falling for Suzaku but having been Lelouch's "first love"
Lelouch could have achieved the same effects even if he didn't kill her. Moreover, it calls into question the reasons why he goes about targeting her in the first place.
Even him "explaining" Geass to her might be suspect
Maybe you didn't notice but her only desire at the time was to exterminate all the japanese people

But beyond that, Lelouch went out of his way to personally kill her
>>151111845
he had to save face since he positione Zero as being a figure against Britannia and for the Japanese and he already told everyone following him he'd accept her deal.
He'd have looked like a traitor if he didn't kill her and to his knowledge, there was no way of fixing her at that point anyways.
>>151111417
She just tried to genocide all nips.
>>151111417
He did it on accident.

The "Kill all Elevens" joke was a really shoehorned joke and scene
>>151115255
>defining plot point
>joke
>>151111845
Probably because he was the one who caused her to go crazy, and felt personally responsible?
>>151111417
YES!
That's why all nipples need to be eradicated!

yes but not just that, when Euphemia introduced the special area Zero started to lose support because everyone wanted to settle for that tiny taste of freedom. If the black knights and Zero had denied the offering than it would have seemed ungratefull, selfish, greedy in the public's eyes it was the perfect move to counter the rebellion. That is why it was the perfect symbolic gesture for Zero to kill her, everyone saw with their own eyes Zero defending the innocent from the despicable government that tried to trick them into a slaughter. It was the perfect move he put himself in the greatest light where now every eleven supported him and the rebellion.

Lelouch was a good boy he dindu nuffin
He killed her because she was a threat to his plans. She might have been able to make Japan into a better place for the Japanese. But that would deprive Lelouch of his means of finding his mothers killer, his means of settling his score with his father and force him back into the boring school life that he tried so hard to escape by gambling and playing chess.

Did you even watch the anime?
it's literally a mistake, the entirety of season 2 was him atoning for it by clearing her name.
He should have 'accidently' geassed Euphie into being his yandere cocksleeve just for Suzaku's nuclear asshurt.

>boring school life
I know Lelouch is a scorned prince but as a lowly pleb, this adds to why I can't help but see him as an enormous cunt. His school life is the bomb, perhaps the best possible, if he would actually give a shit.

yeah, Code Geass was pretty perfect until "For example, if I tell you to 'kill all the japanese', it wouldn't matter how you-"
*SHINK*
this was kind of silly
>>151111417
Watch what CC did to Mao when Geass was ruining his life. Same idea coupled with his responsibility as the liberator of the Japanese.
>>151121638
That was the greatest "No! It was just a prank bro!" moment in all of fiction.
>>151121638
That's why it's so great though.
Because Lelouche freaks out. Because sometimes in life these little details can absolutely fuck things up.
