Now for the unofficial spoilers from fake Okouchi (which almost always turn out to be true):

Courtesy of the wonderful Celiss Galvea from GameFaqs -

The 1st season will be a lot more enjoyable if I don't spoil anything major, so I'll focus on the minor ones.

(Please give us a little "hidden" character info)
I'm not sure if this is considered "hidden" info, but originally during CLAMP's character planning stages Shirley was called Euphemia. After that it was Amy, and finally Shirley.

Kallen was originally called Akira. After that it became Karin, and finally Kallen.

1. (The broadcast schedule for episodes 24 and 25? If it hasn't been decided yet could you please give us a rough timeframe?)
We're still in the middle of adjustments.

2. (What will happen to Villetta after she regains her memories? Will she pilot a Knightmare again?)
She will still remember what happened during the period she had amnesia. Other than that, no comment.

3. (Will Darlton, Guilford and / or Cornelia die?)
There's a proper ending / conclusion waiting for each of them. In the previous episode Darlton has been Geassed. This Geass needs to be triggered(?), and after that he will take action.

4. (Will Lelouch and Suzaku stay as enemies / be on opposing sides until the very end?)
After what happened in the previous episode, they can no longer reach an honest reconciliation.

5. (Will the Shirley subplot be brought over to the 2nd season?)
No comment.

6. (Is V.V. C.C. and Lelouch's enemy? Or is he an ally? A word about him please.)
I would say he's something of an incompatible existence to them.

7. (Schneizel was originally said to be 29. Has it been changed to 27?) <-- Schneizel is said to be 27 in the latest issue of Asuka
He's 29, I believe.

8. (A minor spoiler about Laksharta and Diethard please)
It seems that the two of them are fairly good friends.

9. (Is the person applying to join the Black Knights (in episode 21) Sayoko-san? Or is it someone else?)
It's Sayoko-san. Also, at that time the Japanese were gathered there (at the School festival), so it was also a reference to that.

10. (Will the Suzaku-related secrets (his physical prowess and / or Geass?) be brought over to the 2nd season as well?)
I'm sure you can figure some of his secrets out based on C.C.'s monologues.


11. (Will the evolution of the Geass work in Lelouch's favour?)
It's both an advantage and a disadvantage to him. It's a trial he has to go through. What's done is done, there is no way for him to take back his actions.

12. (Was the person the Emperor was enthusiastically praising in episode 22 Lelouch?)
Yes.

13. (Is Geass overuse the reason for the mutation / evolution of the Geass, or does it have something to do with the Geass mark flashing in the ruins?)
Although there's also the case of him overusing the Geass, it appears that his qualification for the Geass is also abnormally high.

14. (Will Suzaku and Cecile be in the 2nd season?)
No comment.

15. (I'm curious about what will happen to Ashford Academy in the future.)
In the final stages it'll have a little moment to shine.

16. (Can you tell us about the future of the Black Knight members? Especially the important ones. Anything will do.)
Ougi will be confused because of Villetta.

17. (What is the data EU obtained?) <-- Episode 22
This will probably have to wait until the 2nd season.

18. (Will there be an event in which the Geass will be overcome?)
This as well.

19. (Will we be able to see Suzaku being merciless against Lelouch and Kallen?)
I'm sure you'll be able to see it. Next week Suzaku's "policy" / take on the matter will become crystal clear.

20. (Give us a spoiler about episodes 24 and 25 unrelated to Lelouch, C.C., Kallen, Suzaku or Kaguya please.)
All the actors have now gathered, so after this we'll see what course of action each will take. After the Euphie incident, Nina will modify Ganymede. After that Orange-san will get his personal unit... (laugh) Though I can't really call it a Knightmare (laugh)

The Euphemia incident in episode 22 has been decided from early on.
Some recent events have been altered due to various reasons, but the school festival as well as what happened in this episode were absolutely crucial and therefore left alone.

Also, I said before that a certain event has been cut. I was talking about the scene concerning Zero (Lelouch) and Kallen (Lelouch --> Kallen: Courage). The reason it was cut is nothing to worry about though, so please don't worry too much over it.
Ougi calling Villetta by the Japanese name he gave her will appear next week.

A little spoiler for next week:

The director repeatedly saying "Please make Zero's mantle spread open in a flashy manner like Kobayashi Sachiko's* costumes" during the storyboarding and actual animating process left a big impression on me.

*End Fake Okouchi Q&A*

*********

I still can't get over how depressing and shocking episode 22 is. O___O

Anyway, it seems Suzaku is going to become full of hate and an urge for revenge. I imagine the final showdown between him and Lelouch is going to be very sorrowful. Lelouch is such a tragic character...I can't help but feel for him. And it's only going to get worse...

I've got to stop reading these spoilers. But I just can't myself. looks like next the next few episodes are gonna be just as big as 22 is.

[kamuro-ishigami.livejournal.com]

OMG!! *deep breath and exhale with a sigh*
So my greatest fear of a full-out Suzaku vs Lelouch seems to be inevitable now..both sources seem to corroborate the eventual best friend 'spat'.
But even though I know to expect a killer emotional roller-coaster ride for the next episodes, I'd still love Geass all the more for being not so streamline in plot..(I'm a sucker for deaths and tragedy)

[zalem.livejournal.com]

Same with me. Before 22 I wasn't sure how things were going to end up. After 22 I was convinced that there is no way that Lelouch/Zero and Suzaku will ever work together. They will be enemies to the end. But still to have it practically officially stated is sort of shocking. I think in the back of my mind I was really hoping I would turn out being wrong...

Still love this series though.

[kamuro-ishigami.livejournal.com]

I myself know that logically they would have to fight it out. But still, some part of me clings to the hope of them joining forces. I forced myself to remember ep20 and convince myself that that occasion is a foreshadowing..but now with this almost official statement it's like a reality check of some kind..quite harsh..

[nayami.livejournal.com]

I wish I had more time to comment, but with all this "demon of revenge" talk, does that mean that Suzaku will be the same as Lelouch, if not less caught up in Lelouch's issues with harming those he cares about? If we don't get Geass vs. Geass from Suzaku and Euphemia, we might get it yet from Suzaku and Lelouch. Somehow this possibility makes the other stuff a lot less depressing for me. 0_o

[zalem.livejournal.com]

Seems like Geass v. Geass is a big possibility. Suzaku will be meeting V.V. soon...wonder if V.V. is going to become his contractor.

[empanadas]

Damn, there is definitely going to be an action-packed second season, with Suzaku and Lelouch fighting against each other and all.

[rewritten.livejournal.com]

I've been wondering, just who is this "Fake Okouchi" and where do these interview questions come from?

[zalem.livejournal.com]

They come from 2ch. FO shows up on 2ch just before or after CG airs in Japan. The members there usually all have questions ready for him to answer. He doesn't answer all the questions, but does answer quite a few. No one knows who he really is, they just suspect that he is someone who is actually involved with the production of CG. He's been dead on with the spoilers so I really do think he has some connection with Sunrise.

[rewritten.livejournal.com]

Ah ok. I always just goto 2chan to see the screencaaps, and I don't usually go over to 2ch. But cool, thanks! Ya, he's gotta have some connection to Sunrise, to be so dead on with what he's said.

[meitsu.livejournal.com]

It's actually possible that he was assigned to do this =x you know, to build up excitement. Or else I would've think the security would have tightened up.

[tatooine.livejournal.com]

Some of the spoilers also come from some random people who 2chan is convinced is Fukuyama Jun posting with a cellphone.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Really? Wow, that'd be awesome if it's true. =D

[halevy.livejournal.com]

It still bothers me that Euphie was geass'd because of a joke. A joke. .__.

I guess Ougi/Viletta is about to fall apart. :(

[vehemence.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I wish one of the questions would have been, "What will become of Nunally?" Not that he'd answer it xD But I have this horrible, horrible, heartwrenching suspicion that she is going to die at the hand of Lelouch due to his geass spiralling out of control... and then Lelouch will prob kill himself T_T
Okay I read too much Shakespeare.

[puchikonyo.livejournal.com]

yeah i know, after reading tht much of shakespeare's tragedies, it feels like you tend to expect the worst scenario happening, primarily with the protagonists' deaths or something like that T____T;;;

but i suppose it is more interesting this way, rather than have.... no deaths lol. otherwise it'll be just any other mecha anime so... *shrugs* though of course, seeing your favorite charas die isn't all tht grea =___=

[clamp-hikari.livejournal.com]

aww I can't wait T-T. Lelouch too qualified for Geass?

[psych-ten-chan.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking that being Britannian royalty makes you more than qualified for Geass. Maybe its a bloodline inheritance or something? Or maybe something he got from Marianne. I don't think its about his quest for revenge but something more tangible.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

After that Orange-san will get his personal unit... (laugh) Though I can't really call it a Knightmare (laugh)

....

.... IT HAD BETTER NOT BE A GIANT MECHANICAL ORANGE! T.T That would be too much...

XDDD

[defade.livejournal.com]

Hey!XDD Nice idea.XDDD It would be kind of fun to see a giant orange rolling down the hill...

[fujiappletan.livejournal.com]

Ougi calling Villetta by the Japanese name he gave her will appear next week. Eee! That sounds so cute; but it's hard to be very sparkle-y with all the dramaz. ;_;

[puchikonyo.livejournal.com]

a very trival point but after looking at the scans, i've never realised how tall some of the characters actually are XD; like how almost all of the members of the brittanian family are reaalllly tall .___. and nina, whom i thought would probly be only ard 1.50-ish metres tall is taller than rivalz XD;

Lulu- the creators certainly dun like him much .___. its been tragedy after tragedy and very little seems to go right for him. [tho i suppose its better than the other end of the 'anti-hero' type; the evil perfectionist tht gets *almost* everything his way ~____~]

[psych-ten-chan.livejournal.com]

Waaahhh! So excited about the impending Suzaku vs Zero! And of course we know that Lelouch will be revealing his identity before the series ends so that will definitely make this best friends spat interesting. About V.V. eventually being Suzaku's Geass partner, its a definite possibility. And I'm wondering if Suzaku will continue to become Euphie's knight? I mean with everything that happened and the Geass still in effect then there's no way he could. But I'm sure he'll still be in the Britannian side, so maybe he'll serve under Schneizel next or something. Ahh... these plot thingies make me so excited! Thanks for the spoilers!
