Nanally Held Hostage - Toraware no Nanarī (囚われのナナリー)

Overall rating: Excellent 5 stars

Ratings/reason: This is how everything is averaged out, why the rating is what it is

5 stars

The Black Knights have had a massive change, 14 warehouses now have black knights. The Black Knights are still looking for Todhoh and the members of the Four Holy swords. Lelouch sends C.C. to the Chinese Federation to get help and is to look humble for them. Of course there were flash backs, of when Lelouch, Suzaku, and Nunnally were all younger. Sometime during the war Suzaku and Lelouch lie to Nunnally to protect her from knowing what had happened. Lelouch tells Suzaku that Nunnally wants to have dinner with them more. When Rivalz comes to school he freaks out over not being told that Milly had a blind date, which no one knows is Lloyd. Lelouch only told the police to shoot Mao not kill him, so Mao comes back. Arthur really loves to bite Suzaku, and Suzaku knew that something was wrong with Lelouch. Suzaku is fast and can kick a machine gun camera's butt. Lelouch used Geass on himself to forget about his plan on how they free Nunnally. Sayoko is called in to help free Nunnally. The way to save Nunnally is by playing a chess game in which the chess pieces go into a scale which will then either save or kill Nunnally, in which Lelouch lost yet Nunnally lives. Cornelia and Euphie take a break and are together in the garden looking so carefree, happy and even teasing each other. During the chess game Lelouch tries to think of 7 things at one time to confuse Mao, but that plan failed also. Lelouch trusts Suzaku completely, C.C. kills Mao after Lelouch makes Mao never talk again. Suzaku seems to go insane a lot.

4 stars

How dare Mao tie a bomb above Nunnally and have it being a motion sensor. We learned that Area 11 has taken three royal lives or so everyone thinks, Lelouch and Nunnally vi Britannia, and Clovis la Britannia.

3 stars

The good vs. evil thing and the explaining of geass before every episode is now annoying. Mao gave Lelouch 5 hours to find Nunnally. Mao goes into Suzaku's head that and pulls out the information of Suzaku killing his father causing Suzaku to go mad yet again.

2 stars

Lelouch admits defeat to save Nunnally, but Mao won't take it.

1 star

How dare Mao kidnap a defenseless girl?

Extra credit

It was a full fledge fight for Nunnally and to defeat Mao. It was a true battle of brains vs. geass
