Lelouch's new mecha + future eps summaries
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
http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/2...pemarchdy3.jpg
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.

no subject
Although, if you want the short version, in episode 24 (I think) of the original Gundam Seed series, Athrun - a Coordinator (genetically enhanced) on the side of the colonies - gets stranded on an island with Cagalli - a Natural (naturally born aka no genetic enhancement) on the side of...well, she fights against the colonies' army when they're on Earth. Athrun captures her after they fight (he wins and only when she screams as he's about to stab her with his knife does he realize she's a girl). Anyway. They have to spend the night on the island, enemies, and he keeps her handcuffed, etc. But they talk about the war and get to know each other, he releases her the next morning when supporting members of his unit show up to retrieve him.
People have compared Suzaku to Kira Yamato (lead chara from Seed) and, actually, Athrun - some claim Suzaku's kind of a mix between the two, and Lelouch is just...uncategorizable (which is a good thing).
If you're able to watch this show and not draw the comparisons, though, it's really better that way. I've seen Seed. I liked it, for the most part, but I'm trying really hard to let Code Geass stand on its own and resist comparisons. But, I understand why people end up doing it - the comparing thing. Seed was the last mech anime out of Sunrise/Bandai, it's sequel's a year old (I think), and still being released in the dubbed North American version.
I'm sure you were probably already informed and 'out of the dark' on this issue, I just thought if you wanted to know and someone hadn't explained it to you, yet, that I'd be nosy...
*hugs*
