Oh, no, no, I don't mind a lot of questions. It gives me more direction as to what to translate, since I don't think I can stand to translate the whole book cover-to-cover. So okay, in the order of your questions... (This stuff will eventually make it into my main review text)
From Rolo's character profile: "He has the Geass known as "Ward of Absolute Suspension", which makes people's sensation of time come to a halt, but his own heart stops, too, while it is activated, so he is unable to use it for extended periods of time."
From Kaguya's character profile: "Kaguya didn't know the true identity of Zero until Lelouch became an emperor. However, she did intuitively grasp a part of his essential qualities."
Why did the Black Knights turn against Lelouch: This is tougher to answer since I have to skim the whole book, but here's what I've found: - In Tohdoh's profile, it mentions that Tohdoh decided to turn against Lelouch after learning Asahina's information about the truth of the destruction of the Geass Cult, that it was actually a full-out massacre, and learning Zero's true identity being Lelouch. - In the Activity Report, it mentions that Scheizel captured the hearts of Zero's subordinates with his impressive negotiation skills and smooth talking and made them agree to turn over Zero in exchange for the independence of Japan. - In the synopsis for Turn 19, it says that Zero's subordinates were shocked to learn that Zero is actually a former prince of Britannia and that he has the power of Geass. Ogi and Villetta confirm this, and they do have great faith in Ogi at least. They started suspecting that their own loyalty to Zero was actually forced by the power of Geass and upon learning that Zero actually commanded Euphemia to massacre the Japanese people, they lost all of their trust in Zero and agreed to execute that deceiving betrayer.
Did Lelouch love anyone else, other than Nunnally and Euphemia: Maybe there's something in the episode synopses, but I don't feel like reading all 25 of them for a single line, at least for now. - In C.C.'s profile, it says, "While she is entrusted to be a body-double and negotiator, he never yearns for her to be a mother-figure or lover, not even once." - In Kallen's profile, it says, "Even though she is able to tell Lelouch, who assumed the seat of emperor, her decision of wanting to live and die alongside him, Lelouch rejects her. What he chose is Suzaku and C.C." By 'tell', it refers to the short period of time they spend walking around Ashford Academy before the UFN meeting and the kiss she shares with him. The profile also says that Kallen fought her hardest during the Fuji battle against Suzaku, but in the end, she was never able to capture Lelouch's mind or heart.
