Nah. It's cheap, but according to Word of God that Geass only works when Suzaku is trying to kill himself, or at least when he knows he'll be killed and doesn't stop whatever's trying to kill him.

It is a little lame, but on the other hand, the Geass is a mental thing, and if you're physically going to die, there's nothing you can do about it. We learn this lesson the hard way when Lelouch tries to Geass Shirley to stay alive, but the body's exertion only accelerates her blood loss.

I can't remember; it's been a while since I saw it.

Oh, no, wait, because a plot point in R2 is that a lot of people's memories are erased. So that might be it.

^I forget whether you're joking or that actually happened.

I guess that's how ridiculous Code Geass is.

Oh, no, wait, someone else's Geass power is to erase Geasses IIRC... So Yeah

The first time Jeremiah/Orange uses his canceler, Shirley is caught in it. She's just walking down the street and then gets caught in the bubble when it activates, and that's when she regains memories and become vulnerable to Lelouch's Geass again

Oh, yeah, I remember that now. Sorry, it's just that there's so many plot twists in so little space in R2 that it's hard for me to keep track of just what the fuck went on.

R2 was like two seasons forced into 25 episodes.

And it was awesome. But it deserved more seasons. Unlike Jump's Long Runner series.

Really, that was the main problem with R2 - nothing to do with the content itself, there was just too much plot and not enough episodes, so the pacing got screwed up.

That, and the time skip meant they had to reintroduce concepts in the start of R2, which crammed the plot into even fewer episodes.

From what I hear more or less the first half of R2 was forced in by Executive Meddling. So not two seasons worth of material, but a season and a half's.

...or at least when he knows he'll be killed and doesn't stop whatever's trying to kill him.

Does that include "old age?" 'Cause if he ever finds out about C.C.'s Code...

Don't think about it too much.

Although if they weren't already doing that prequel thing in the Edo period, that might be a good idea for a sequel of sorts...

If he get's cancer (or a disease like that) and is told "You got X months to live" what would that trigger?

This is like fiddling with the rules of the Death Note to see what happens. Sheesh.

That said, my bet is he'd lose his mind or something. Or he'd try to find any cure possible.

You know, in the Suzaku of the Counterattack Manga, he actually ends up immortal. He also gets the ending fandom seems to give Lelouch a lot. Saves the world from Evil Overlord Schniezel, but is assumed dead in the process. And then, months later when the world is moving on out of nowhere he returns... to Lelouch.

Man, Orange-kun's Geass canceller was the biggest offender of Awesome, but Impractical I've seen in a long time. It comes into play a stunning THREE times after introduction; once on Shirley...completely by chance and for no real reason, again in the same episode briefly against Lelouch, and way the fuck later on Anya, of whom Jeremiah could only barely be aware of being exposed to Geass in the first place, much like Shirley. Too bad it spends the rest of the series doing nothing of use. Seriously, there was so much potential there to be tapped. This not being addressed was one of my biggest problems with R2.

Code Geass = Masters of the Ass Pull.
