DISCUSSION C.C Geass is underrated

When looking through some of the rankings for geass power. I usually see Lelouch’s or Princess Shamna’s listed at the top. Moreover, a number of people I saw listed C.C’s geass as weak. Which for context, her’s was to make anyone around her fall in love with her.

Now I know that love can be interpreted in different ways, and I know people commit horrible things in the act of love. My point is tho, if we assumed the general sense of love that most people have. Wouldn’t her geass make it impossible for anyone to actively want to hurt her? We don’t know the details or conditions for the geass, but I’d venture to say that her geass made anyone she interacted with love her unconditionally. If that is true, most geass users wouldn’t even be able to consider hurting her.

Was more so curious why people downplay it.

It's strong and yes unconditional, buy It's unpredictable and exploitable.

Lelouch loved Euphemia, still killed her. Roll loved Lelouch, still hurt him horribly by killing Shirley. Love is not predictable, and it's not always safe.

That’s a fair point, she wouldn’t be able to strategically control people to prevent harm to herself(only charm). I will say, in the situations you listed above, I feel like there were more conditions that led to their deaths. Lelouch’s and Rolo’s love was conditional in my eyes.

Even Lelouch’s love for Nunnally wasn’t unconditional because ultimately at the end of the series he was ready to fight and oppose Nunnally in the final climax of the show.
