>>79320566code geass has a lot of retarded scenes, especially in the second season, but this isn't one. it was a super specific extreme thing because it was the best course of action to further his goals and he considered doing it before backpedaling and settling for the "you'll shoot me" plan. but his geass contract was sealed on the terms that he'd do anything in his power to destroy britannia. so in the same way mao's geass only grew stronger the more he tried to supress it by isolating himself, wearing headphones, etc, the moment lelouch tried to back down and try working with his sworn enemy for the greater good, his geass grew stronger to ensure his ultimate goal was fulfilled.
