So today, I was looking at ANN's R2 episode page with [profile] suruma, and the three next episode titles caught my eye:

2008-08-24 20. Emperor Disqualification
皇帝 失格
2008-08-31 21. Connection of Ragnarok
ラグナレク の 接続
2008-09-07 22. Emperor Lelouch
皇帝 ルルーシュ


I, of course, was shocked at the Turn 22 name, so we looked up "Ragnarok" on Wikipedia, and got this:

In Norse mythology, Ragnarök (IPA: /rɑgnɑrɔk/, Old Norse "Final destiny of the gods"[2]) refers to a series of major events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Freyr, Heimdall, and the jötunn Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterwards, the world resurfaces anew and fertile, the surviving gods meet, and the world is repopulated by two human survivors.
tl;dr: A major battle that results of the death of major figures, natural disasters and the world is flooded with water. Two human survivors eventually populate the world.

So, what does this mean for future episodes, or I am looking too deep into this? Is Sunrise going to screw us over with this?

Also, I'm not sure if I tagged this properly.

I still would translate that as 'elimination' instead of 'disqualification'. Fits the context better, but oh well... It's either Schneizel (and possibly others) abandoning Charles, or some people's rights to succeed Charles Schneizel, lol get snatched away by Charles himself. Or it could be Charles discarding the throne for the title of the 'Savior of the World'. I believe Charles would consider himself a savior, because the world that is full of lies is evil to him. Otherwise, we can call him the 'Destroyer' instead.

I'm most surprised at 'Emperor Lelouch', though. What the hell's going to happen?

And Ragnarok + the subsequent submersion of the world in water + extended preview + penguins.... Believable :P
