Unless they named it afterwards, possibly related to Ragnarok?
Oooh... I like this idea. The keyword here is probably the "again" when the Emperor mentioned Ragnarok. Maybe some catastrophic (even apocolytic) event happened before. I am curious though, how do the Japanese sites equate 'Holy Calendar' with 'after the battle'?
Re in-fighting: They definitely emphasize quite a bit on who is before or after whom to the throne. The numbers are practically part of their title. Heck, I think it is part of their title, like the 'Prince of Wales' is to the crown prince of Britain, Lelouch is the '17th heir to the throne'.
I am a little confused at how they put the 1st, 2nd and 3rd in front of the title Prince/Princess. I know Lelouch is the 11th Prince according to the manga, but Euphemia is the 3rd Princess but a year younger than Lelouch. If they are lining the kids up to the throne by age, I don't see how he is just the 17th successor. Something else for me to work out I guess.
Re Kururugi: Yeah, I've been wondering about why Suzaku stated it that way (yeah, it was to Yuffie).
Re Ashford: Hmm... that could be it. Though if he is truely working for the Emperor, what's in it for him to protect Lelouch and Nunnally? Unless the Emperor actually has uses for Lelouch later and ordered Ashford to protect him secretly...?
By the way, did you notice in ep. 9 that Cornelia mentioned battle has broken out with the EU at El Alamein? I thought it very very interesting. El Alamein was an important battle ground between the Axis and the Allies in WWII because it had access to the Suez Canal.
I am a little unsure of what she meant by the transportation route to China Federation though. Was she still talking about the drug?
