hi  everyone!

 i was just wondering today about lelouch if he had ever told suzaku about his mather's case when they were young toghether? because i dont remember suzaku mentioning that or lelouch recalling that to suzaku or suzaku recalling that to lelouch.

if the code geass novel contains some extra stories btween suzaku and lelouch when they were young, did anyone know if the novel mentioned that?? evevn nunnally doesnt mention that to suzaku, right??

Really, cause I could have sworn when it comes out that Suzaku killed Genbu and in that one picture book where we see how angsty Suzaku truly is that the impression is given that the families just hushed things up but didn't do anything for him. Though I also might be getting that confused with the novel where Suzaku kills his Dad to save Nunnally and Lelouch. ^_^;; It gets so confusing!

Actually that is another question, how long has Suzaku been with the Britannian military and why does the Britannian military seem so happy to have such underage members ^_^; I mean Suzaku is what 17, and obviously not out of high school yet in R1. Gino is a KoR, 19 and has been a KoR for at least 1+ years since he was a KoR when Suzaku joined up and Anya is what 15 now and also has been a KoR for over a year? o_O;

It's one thing for terrorists to recruit them young for a cause (i.e. it doesn't seem weird to me that Kallen is 17/18) but doesn't it seem a little weird for the Britannians to have so many child soldiers o_O;

Add to that Kaguya's comment in the last episode that they're the "last of the 6 Kyoto families" and I'm really not sure what to think. Something lost in translation? Sunrise not keeping notes? This is exactly why Sunrise owes us some Suzaku backstory D:

I think Sunrise just likes young soldiers in general :/ We can go back to the Gundam Wing boys, who all were child soldiers before getting involved in their teens, and the Seed characters were around the 17 age mark too, weren't they?

Technically the Wing boys are all terrorists (like Setsuna was in 00) so their being young again is less odd, since generally it's easier to indoctrinate the young XD; In Seed, Kira and buddies are "accidental" soldiers for Earth Alliance and ZAFT is semi-desperate cause of their low birthrate so I think more willing to overlook age issues. (Since Asuran is 16 and I think Nicol is 15, but they're also the only under 18 soldiers we meet in ZAFT I think.) But Anya still wins for youngest and the birthrate doesn't seem that low in Britannia, not with the king of pimps the Emperor and his gabillion kids. Heck, Gino is a 4th son himself.

Well we know Kirihara died sometime between the Euphinator and R2 09, so there is one family down. ^^; But I can't remember why now, but I thought Suzaku was the last Kururugi post Genbu's death. Though again I might be getting things confused with the non-canon novel. The impression in that one drama is there was no one left for Suzaku, which makes me think there were no other Kururugis. I just remember thinking to myself how sad and hopeless he looked and I thought it was horrible that Lelouch and Nunnally just left him lol But I have a huge soft spot for Suzaku. XD; I want to say he claims there the Kyoto families have said he should go to Kyoto to the Britannian authorities or something like that so Lelouch and Nunnally won't worry about him. I know none of the old men who get named with Kirihara were Kururugi and you'd think if there were other Kururugis they'd be with Kirihara. I think I had interrupted Todou's statement as the 5 remaining families semi-breaking with Suzaku when he joined the military, but it's not clear when that was and how involved they were with him before that. It's really hard to imagine him and Kayuga just sort of hanging out together for 4-5 years.

I really have so many questions about Suzaku and I don't think Suzaku's spin off series really counts for answers since it's already pretty AU to the anime. ^_^;; I so wish we would get more about Suzaku but I so know it's not going to happen. ;;_;;

Hmm, well, I'm not up on my British history, but wasn't the military position usually designated for 3rd or 4th sons in the 1700-ish? So perhaps they're older siblings are just off doing more important things, and thus, the younger ones are the soldiers? It doesn't account for their mad-skillz, but might explain why they're all so young on the Britannia side ...

And not that I want to bring the dub into this, because it's the dub, but I thought it was weird when they had the one line that said "you are the eldest son of Japan's last Prime Minister" because it clearly teases at Suzaku having siblings of some sort. Apparently the dub also said that Suzaku's family "broke contact with him after he joined the military" (ep4 according to my journal spamming) ... wonder if that was in the original script, hmm.

This boy's family is just impossible to keep track of, heh. Sunrise needs to release a new special - "Suzaku-sensei's history of Geass-verse Japan"!

I'm not quite as up on my British history as I once was either XD; I think it's pretty normal for a younger son to go into the military, it's more the fact that Gino must have been pretty young when he started since he's only 19 I believe now. And that still doesn't help much with super underage Anya! It's just sort of weird that she is in the military, oh I nearly forgot grade school assassin Rolo XD; I mean seriously, was he brought up by Weiss? By Seishirou? Is he the Britannian Assassin equivalent to poor little Akira? lol He's 16 now, but judging from the newspaper articles Lelouch found he's been doing this a while, Heck, Rolo could even be the one who killed Marianne!

I'm pretty sure Suzaku is an only child. Ignoring the whole Japanese families don't tend to have a lot of kids, you'd think we would have seen some sign of a sibling if there was one in a flashback by now. And you'd think Kayuga would say something about how Suzaku betrayed his little sibling Byakko It's not like our new evil princesses since we've known all along there was a princess #1. I've not been watching the dub, but I think they're just trying to stress Suzaku's importance. But still I want to know when he joined the military and this contact was broke. Personally, I strongly suspect he was shipped off pretty early on.

I'd buy it, but then I buy anything Suzaku :P I think he's just adorable. lol I still want to know about his mom, was she a Sumeragi? or??
