The only time he ever tried to resist it was in Turn 20 when he was battling Bismarck. Quote:

It took those ten episodes for him to lose any qualms about the limits to which he should use his Geass and go all out. His plan before that was in no way shortsighted. Quote:

And your point is? He still does things the way that works, even if Suzaku's method is "right."

as odd as these words feel coming out of my mouth
i wanted to talk for a second about gino i dont really care all that much about him as a character (nor did the writers it seemed ) but rather about him as a pilot i know we often tend to look down on him because he gets out classed by suzaku and kallen, but i think we might be ignoring the man's actual skill other then his fights with kallen and suzaku, he has been shown to 1)take out asahina with bearly an effort 2)pretty much play around with xing-ke 3)more or less play with gilford, and later fight both gilford AND jeremia at the same time (i'll remind you all that gilford alone can fight toudo to a standstill) 4)after suzaku gets the albion, and gino gets the divider, gino lasts more time against suzaku then xing-ke AND toudo did combined he might be overshadowed by suzaku and kallen but gino might actually be the 3rd best pilot in the show

2. Xingke was likewise distracted, for different reasons, and he was only holding his own as long as Xingke was paying attention. 3. Guilford was flying an inferior unit. Jeremiah's unit is terribly inaccurate when it comes to weapons, and Gino was running, not fighting. 4. Gino lasts because he sat inside and kept the Albion on level terms. As soon as they got outside, he lost quick. None of these instances prove he's the third best pilot.

Lol, not really. For whatever morbos said as well. The third best pilot, might probably be Toudouh, Urabe and maybe Xing-ke on the mix as well. Resolve to fight + no fear to die = extra "ability" points. Something that Gino lacked a lot, while he was only looking for "fun-rabu-ha-hu." |

I am just saying, given the situations, that Gino, no, is not the third best pilot on the show. That is totally giving him a lot more credit than he deserves, since there were certain circumstances that allowed him to "survive" all the battles. {not even winning, the key is "surviving"} |

He's never proven himself better than Xingke, nor Guilford for that matter (he blindsided Guilford to cut that arm off). Gino fights for fun. More importantly, he also doesn't fight head to head that often. Gino takes advantage of opponents who aren't paying attention. Their fault, of course, and in war it's certainly a helpful tactic, but it doesn't make him a better pilot.

he is trying to get past him because he needs to save the tianzi and his men about gillford gillford can fight toudo to a standstill in a gloceter (while toudo is piloting his costum gekka, which is like the zangetsu without wings) and yet gino can fight him AND jeremia, WHILE COMPLAINING THAT HE'D RATHER FIGHT KALLEN

Guilford fought Tohdoh evenly because he had an MVS and the Glouster is pretty close to the Gekka, which is not the Zangetsu (far from it). He's in a Vincent in the other battles, and that's nothing compared to the 8th gen Tristan. And, as I said before, he wasn't fighting either of them. He snuck in, chopped off an arm, then ran like hell when Jeremiah popped in. He's not shown fighting back, and his desire to fight Kallen is voiced well before the battle starts up, so you're exaggerating his complaining. He says one line during the actual fighting, that's it.

Bismarck without a doubt, even without the Geass. With the Geass, he's first. Sure, he's flying a tank with a BFS, but he's still pretty good to take Xingke with no effort, and if his ground battle with Suzaku is any indication, he's a much better fighter.
