More Mythology in Geass

[inulovinkit.livejournal.com]

While re-watching Turn 1 again, I noticed that Lelouch was reading the Divine Comedy (I have to say, that along with The Prince and Hamlet...Lelouch is quite well read, isn't he?) so, being like I am, I went and looked it up.

And I found something interesting...You know how we're always seeing Jupiter pop up randomly whenever we get those freakout!Geass scenes?

According to Wikipedia:

Sixth Sphere of Heaven. The sphere of Jupiter is that of souls who personified justice, something of great concern to Dante (Cantos XVIII through XX). The souls here spell out the Latin for "Love justice, ye that judge the earth," and then arrange themselves into the shape of an imperial eagle.

Jupiter, justice, eagle...I see a pattern here.

Which brought me to another thought...When C.C. says her name in that episode (was it 11? 12? I can't remember. D: ) Lelouch instantly recognized it. Given the hints, could we suppose perhaps she's someone from the Divine Comedy?

So, along with Celtic mythology (geis), Arthurian Legends, and Norse mythology (Ragnarok and Yggdrasil) and probably a little more interspersed here and there that I can't think of, now we're bringing medieval texts into it. Sunrise really did their research.

C.C. did say Lulu said it weirdly.

The vowels dun fit 6_9
My first objection will be with the first syllable, for some reason Lelouch does that th/f overbite that doesn't match with the bubbling one does with pronouncing b/v .
If the second syllable was A, then Lelouch would have to widen his mouth.
However, he does the opposite action that looks more like an I or E.

AND I should be studying for my important exams tomorrow D:

If it was slow-mo, ,my head would asplode and die from utter confusion.

However, if you were to move your mouth in sync while uttering those syllables, you would find that it's really too awkward and a tad bit uncomfortable unless you slowed down enough.

I love guessing C.C.'s name, it's just soo hard to figure out D:
