Lelouch's new mecha + future eps summaries

[hellion-3.livejournal.com]

Alrighty, new info coming from Newtype March. The translation is credited to Celiss Galeva from GameFAQs. Among the new spoilers is something of great interest, namely Lelouch's future, personal Knightmare Frame - the Gawain

The Gawain is on the lower left side...while on the upper right one, is Schneizel's flying fortress, the Avalon - the one we see in the new OP (from where Lancelot takes off with that Aile Pack-spinoff.

Information garnered from Newtype March include the following:
- The Gawain is a two-seater. Who's the copilot? C.C.? Kallen already has her own and Toudou will most likely get that new Guren (Sanshiki?) model.
- This Knightmare Frame can fly.
- It is stolen. ("This mech will not be handed to the likes of Zero", anyone?)
- It uses a powerful Hadron cannon.

All in all, the famous Gundamjack trend seem to have made its way through Code Geass now. Wheeee. Rejoice. Or despair.

And by the way, the Gawain might be what Pubes and Fake Okouchi mentioned about Schneizel having another superior 7th gen. mech in his private army. They were nevertheless right when they said it was an ugly mech for a protagonist - and it will get even more evil as Zero gets familiar with it, or so those two warned. Since they're both (more or less confirmed with the proven spoilers they've provided on 2chan) CG staff members, we can already take that statement as a given. From other things I've seen on GameFAQs, it seems that the Gawain will make its debut somewhere around ep18/19 - or at least, it will be stolen at that moment.

Other tidbit from Newtype March:
- 15th of Feb is confirmed to be a recap episode, Truth of the Mask (ep17.5).
UGH.

Future ep summaries:

"Stage 18: Kururugi Suzaku, I Command Thee

Suzaku enrolled in the Britannian military because he wanted to change from within the Britannian Empire's policy of sacrificing the weak in order to expand their territories.

"Protect the people to the fullest" -- Possessing this strong conviction and a kind heart, he receives the approval of the 3rd Britannian Imperial Princess Euphemia, and advances to the position of her Knight.

News of this is relayed to the citizens as well. At this, Diethard, who is in charge of the Black Knight's intelligences, advises Zero to assassinate Suzaku.

He claims that having Suzaku, a Japanese, publicly serving the Britannian Empire is detrimental to the Black Knights, the JLF, and the Anti-Britannia movement on the whole.

Listening to his words along with Zero, the members of the Black Knights..."

And:

"Stage 19: The Island of God

In the intense fight with Zero, Suzaku is somehow blown away to a deserted island, where he unexpectedly encounters Kallen as well. Without even getting a moment's chance to puzzle over the meeting of a classmate at an unexpected place, he is shocked by the fact that she is a member of the Order of the Black Knights.

Stage 20: The Kyuushuu Campaign

The Deputy Vice-Minister of the old Japanese Government, Zawazaki Koutarou (Not too sure about the reading of the kanjis in the name -- I'll double check later), occupies a portion of the Britannian-governed land "Kyuushuu" and proclaims it as his territory. In order to surpress his actions, the Britannian military storm the base Zawazaki is in, but..."

Enjoy.

XD Schneizel looks every inch the handsome Prince. I am sure he's a very *nice* man too.

[nanya-hime.livejournal.com]

According to the Animedia March interview with Kawaguchi, Schneizel is a GOOD man *O*

[zalem.livejournal.com]

Are you serious? O_O I was always under the impression that he was going to be evil. But he's actually good? Poor silly Lulu fighting all these people he thinks did bad things to his mom and sister and I bet they actually had nothing to do with it.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

That has always been possible; all Clovis said is that he thought Schneizel and Cornelia knew something about it. Not 'they did it' or even 'they know who did it'.

I have thought about it a lot and to me it would seem utterly illogical (based at least on what we know) for either Cornelia or Schneizel to have killed one of their Father's wives. To have killed her *children*, their potential competition, maybe, but they would have nothing obvious to gain from killing her.

[nanya-hime.livejournal.com]

At the extreme, Schneizel & Cornelia might have been trying to PROTECT Lelouche's mom against the REAL VILLAINS but failed. Crovius knew nothing more than they had some suspcious actions AROUND Lelouche's mom. Either that or Lelouche's mom a TERRORIST herself who's trying to overcome Britannia. I mean she could marry the emperor for a motive ... like to seek revenge.

[nanya-hime.livejournal.com]

Please take a look at my comment further down below for the full spoiler from Animedia if you're interested. I'm pretty sure Schneizel is not an "EVIL" man...or let's say no man is "evil". Each person just fights for his or her own purpose and conflicts only occur because of conflicting motives.

From Lelouche's POV, his mom was killed and his father did nothing to stop it so he thought his family was bad. Then, when he learned from Crovius Schneizel & Cornelia were involved in his mother's death, he was even more angry and he killed Crovius. HOWEVER, if we look at the hints dropped here and there, it seems Crovius, Cornelia and Euphemia all DON'T hate Lelouche. On the contrary, Crovius left Britannia to come to Area 11 to be governor (also from a previous interview with Kawaguchi) because Area 11 was the place where Lelouche and Nanali died. In memory of them, he even painted the siblings and displayed the picture in the gallery along with other paintings of his family. Cornelia also said Area 11's a sad place because 3 of her siblings died... so I don't think Schneizel or Cornelia is the kind who would kill members of their own family (ironically Lelouche DID).

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Yes. Lelouch is so *special* like that, isn't he. ^-^ Lol, the irony. Lelouch has made a whole lot of assumptions from the beginning about a family he left as a child, and about whose actual political and social affairs he could have actually understood very little of.

[nanya-hime.livejournal.com]

Well, he was a child back then and it's really tormenting for a child to know that your mom's killed and your father's doing nothing and even puts you on exile to a country that's battered with war (a.k.a. almost sending you to DIE). That makes me also wonder why the Emperor was SOOOO COLLLD. I mean even if he didn't love his wife, at least out of political gesture, he would order an investigation, right? A queen was MURDERED and the emperor's reaction only further confirmed my suspicions that he either was involved in his own wife's assasination, probably knowing her real identity or her connection with people whom he deemed as the ENEMY of Britannia, or she was in HIS way to achieve a certain purpose.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

I just don't think the Emperor believes that it is his place to look after members of his family like that; if they can't look after themselves in the atmosphereofthe court(or be smart enough to get someone to do it for them if they can't look after themselves), then it's their failing and not his. The strong will survive. If someone is cunning enough to assassinate an Empress and get away with it, he probably thinks them the 'winner' and that's the end of the affair. How he genuinely felt in private, we'll never know I expect. He did marry her for some reason,after all.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

And why not! XD People thought Cornelia was a bitch, and she's not really. It's all relative.
