[ Turn 10: When the Shen Hu Shines]

Good lord. When will the awesome calm down? There hasn’t been a boring episode yet! The showdown between Lelouch and Xing Ke was pretty intense, though Xing Ke had the advantage since he knew the land better. He’s impressive but is a pretty overkill character since he possesses qualities from both Lelouch and Suzaku. Though, those qualities are restricted by his “time”. I guess he has some sort of disease and probably won’t live for much longer. One of the biggest things that occurred was Kallen being taken hostage. It doesn’t look like she’ll be saved any time soon though and that worries me.

The next big shocker was Lelouch suddenly being shown in Japan at the very end of the episode. What the hell? Since when did he get a clone? Or is it someone in disguise? If it’s the latter then that’s one damn good job that they did. Hell, they even have the voice perfected. I can’t wait to see what the next episode brings, especially since it seems like Orange is going to appear.

Hey, I was wondering when Xingke was gonna get more limelight! Continuing on this chapter of sorts, looks like there’s a three way fight after all. Those Eunuchs dudes are so annoying though. I’m not a major fan of the change in focus, but I really did enjoy a few bits about this, learning about Xingke and Tian Zi. Shenhu is one of the more amazing Frames to have shown up lately. It’s not much to look at but I think it’s incredibly devastating. No surprise there knowing its pilot.

From the looks of it, this is going to be pretty intense as they’re now going against Britannia and the Eunuchs. It never fails to end up taking a turn for the interesting.
