Newtype Gaiden Scans! Sort of.

So, scans of this month's Newtype have made their way online, and we finally have some more information about the upcoming Code Geass Gaiden, Boukoku no Akito.

And by "more information" I mean Knightmare Frame designs.





Anyone care to translate the article to see if there is any other new information there?

Also, for those who weren't aware, three chapters of Shikkoku no Renya have been scanlated so far.

I am asleep and have to go to work but I just wanted to point out how much I love this interpretation of ZR and how it's LOADS better than the one the creators ramble on about from time to time. As do I enjoy the discussion of Zero's ultimate flaw regarding his selfish/selfless love issues.

It's always been my interpretation of Zero Requiem, and I think there is certainly enough evidence to back it up as canon - to start with, the whole thing comes into play immediately after Lelouch realises all the shit his parents have done "to make people happy".

But yes, I have seen Lelouch described as "selflessly selfish" (Or maybe it was the other way around) - he'll do anything to make those he loves happy, except decide for themselves without him. Lelouch has a kind of... egocentric view of things, and a tendency to interpet things through his own sense: thus "gentler world" becoming "kill off my family". (Which is why it bothers me a bit when people take his word of what happens as The Only Valid Interpretation. Lelouch isn't the most objective observer of his own life.)

Well that is what Lelouch said pretty much to Suzaku in the last flashback scene. He carried all the burdens of everyone /himself included too of course/ and wanted to believe that people were not gonna repeat the same bullshit. Long shot, but in the ending we saw, it worked. /so far at least hehe/ 8D
