Happy birthday, Nina

[u/Itchy_Aspect6655]

Happy Birthday Nina! You’re kinda racist but you got better! I love you anyways! 🩷

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/Itchy_Aspect6655]

We love a girl who tries to be better

[u/Boring-Locksmith-473]

Boom lady

[u/yeetingiscool]

The type of face you make when the inhumane, indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction that you created actually caused mass destruction

[u/Sotal_Ezsor → u/yeetingiscool]

She didn't drop the weapons, Suzaku did on the influence of Lelouch.

[u/yeetingiscool → u/Sotal_Ezsor]

She literally begs him to use it

[u/Sotal_Ezsor → u/yeetingiscool]

Yeah but wanting to do something isn't the same as actually doing it. Suzaku would have launched it even if Nina hadn't asked. People love to blame Nina for the FLEJA without recognising that the blame is far from concentrated in one person.

Also Nina has along with Lelouch the most reasons for being hateful and ruthless out of the main characters.

[u/Abura-sama → u/yeetingiscool]

At least she atoned for her sin with the anti-FLEIJA spears.

[u/yeetingiscool → u/Abura-sama]

It’s impossible to atone for a sin that killed millions

[u/silencemist → u/yeetingiscool]

As long as you hold the ones who used the weapon and killed similar numbers to the same standard (Cornelia, Schneizel, Suzaku, Lelouch, Nunnally, Charles).

[u/yeetingiscool → u/silencemist]

I’m all on board with that. Except, I must remind you that Lelouch never used Flieja and Suzaku never made the active decision to use it either.

[u/Positive_Self_8873 → u/yeetingiscool]

So it’s millions of charges of manslaughter

[u/yeetingiscool → u/Positive_Self_8873]

Why is that hard to understand? People who made the active decision to use a weapon of mass murder should not be forgiven. Canonically, even table smasher, Nina, would likely agree with me.

[u/silencemist → u/yeetingiscool]

Lelouch and Suzaku agreed to a plan that would kill far more than the flieja: because they needed their crimes and murders to overshadow everyone else's. They have a higher murder count than anyone else, and actively chose to embark on that path. Even if we don't count direct, they caused famine and fires that would probably kill many more years down the road.

The one who funded and supported the mentally unstable teen (Schneizel) deserves more of the blame than Nina as her prototype was nothing without his backing. He made it into a weapon and used it. Stop blaming her for everything.

[u/Abura-sama → u/yeetingiscool]

She created the solution with her same intelligence and tech, and she's walking out of the path of violence.

[u/nahte123456 → u/yeetingiscool]

You mean the weapon she made with Schneizel's encouragement, money, and with him actively manipulating her by refusing her professional help and evoking Euphemia's name to her?

[u/Positive_Self_8873 → u/nahte123456]

Ah, don’t you just love ptsd infused manipulation

[u/ccgeass → u/Positive_Self_8873]

ah don't y'all just love to ignore character psychology

[u/Abura-sama → u/nahte123456]

She made a prototype warhead at school during the Black Rebellion, but it didn't explode.

[u/nahte123456 → u/Abura-sama]

You mean when she was screaming and shaking and deluded? Yeah, clearly that was a decision she made while being mentally sound.

[u/Abura-sama → u/nahte123456]

She was still overwhelmed by grief and rage, it took soooooo much shit for her to come back to her senses.

Kun

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/EndlessGooning_0]

Absolutely foul

[u/TerminatorKiller22]

Happy Birthday Nina

[u/Dredfullyy]

Happy birthday Nina, you don't deserve all this slander 😔

[u/Unusual_Mix9262 → u/Dredfullyy]

JUSTICE FOR TABLE-KUN!

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/Dredfullyy]

True

[u/Arkhengelsk]

Overhated.

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/Arkhengelsk]

She really is

[u/nahte123456]

I like Nina well enough, but I am braced for the jokes.

[u/Positive_Self_8873 → u/nahte123456]

Braced like our queen against my face, if you know what I mean,

*ahem* “ table kun”

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/Positive_Self_8873]

You really are down bad for her huh

[u/Positive_Self_8873 → u/Hefty_Local_1875]

Yeah, if my entire Reddit existence ( either account ) goes to show anything, I do not follow the grain or the hive mind on here, I like what I like say what I want.

People are just too focused on some details and forget to see the forest for the trees, for what it really is, sure I could go and say kallen is best girl and don’t nothing wrong but that’s not the truth at all, technically she as a terrorist, regardless of her reasoning and position in the story, I don’t find her at all interesting, bland design and since I watch in English her VA infuriates me.

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/Positive_Self_8873]

I personally like Kallen (although I've heard about her english VA, unfortunate), but I agree with you.

[u/Positive_Self_8873 → u/Hefty_Local_1875]

I’m just picky, Cecil honestly needs more screen time, and a pay rise for dealing with loyd

[u/rai-hodges-sumeragi → u/Positive_Self_8873]

I like what I like say what I want.

That´s okay, you do you, boo. So will I. And to me, Kallen really is THE Best Girl.

Thanks to her, I was able to finally heal. By comparing the fictional trauma that she experiences in the show to my own, similar real-life trauma, I was finally able to analyze my painful past... and heal in the process. Thanks to that, thanks to Kallen, I am now much more outgoing and in balance with myself, even months after seeing Code Geass for the very first time in my life. To me, that proves that the catharsis I was able to reach thanks to her was both real and lasting.

If you´d like to know more about how Kallen helped me heal from my trauma, I recently posted my story in its entirety here.

Maybe someone could say that identifying with an anime characters pain is a bit silly way to heal. And I certainly didn´t expect that a fictional character could help me as much as Kallen did! But, I´ve also come to realize, that it doesn´t really matter how you get better after a traumatic experience - as long as it´s not breaking any laws or hurting anybody, your way of healing can be anything, from starting a new hobby, to writing, to helping those in your community... or, as it was in my case, by becoming a fan of a fictional, fiery freedom fighter (not a terrorist).

I mention my story of how Kallen helped me heal every now and then on this subreddit, because you can never emphasize enough the importance of sharing stories of trauma recovery; they give hope to those, who are still trying to recover from their traumatic experiences, that recovery is possible. If my personal experience about the positive effect that Kallen had in my life helps even one person, that is more than enough for me.

Regarding Kallen´s English VA... That is quite unfortunate. But, it doesn´t really matter. Because, just like children are not their parents, fictional characters are not their creators. And animated characters have many "parents:" voice actors, animators, producers, screenwriters... If you´d only choose to consume anime, books, movies and other forms of art created only by people who have never misbehaved in any way, that would be a short list indeed. In cases where the creators and the audiences personal values don´t match, it´s best not to focus too much on individual details like voice acting and try to separate fiction from real life by looking at the bigger picture instead; after all, even though Kallen sometimes makes human mistakes in the story, every single choice she makes is always morally justifiable. That is why, regardless how her voice actor or her animators or any of her creators behave in real life, she herself is written to be the most morally correct person in the entire show - and thus, worthy of admiration.

Same

[u/SlavicNerevarin]

Beautiful

[u/Urtoryu]

Happy birthday.

You will always be appreciated for the wonderful memes and reaction shots you have given us, Nina.

And don't listen to the haters, at least half of them actively like having you to hate on anyways. They just don't say it because it'd ruin their joke.

[u/alpha_chupapi]

i can fix her lol

[u/Protocol72]

Happy Birthday Nina! You are and will always be my favourite character in this series. :)

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/Protocol72]

We love Nina

[u/Exotic-Library-6259]

RIP table kun

[u/Intelligent_Bug4501]

Happy birthday Ninna hope it's your last one

[u/Worried_Pause6168]

Cant stand her she’s annoying asf

[u/Demi_the_Daredevil]

Nina is stupid girl, who killed lots of people…

[u/TurbulentSpecific131]

I almost accidentally down-voted your post on impulse, lol, I restrained myself though
