Why does Lelouch keep shouting "Ying!" during his conversation with Death the Kid?
I know that a lot of people think he's trying to trigger Kid's OCD by saying "ying" but never saying "yang", but that doesn't make much sense even before you consider that the word is "yin", not "ying". It's pretty clear that in this continuity, Death the Kid isn't nearly as obsessed with symmetry as he is in canon. Furthermore, despite appearances, Purpleeyes's jokes are rarely completely random. So that leaves the questions of "Why the hell was Lelouch saying 'ying' over and over?", and "Why was Kid so annoyed by it?"
  • I'm pretty sure he was saying "Ling", in reference to Todd Haberkorn voicing both Death the Kidd and Ling from FMA:B.
