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.

Newtype March is already out...?.___.

IIRC, that line was from 18?*didn't really take much notice of that*

And what a special Frame it turned out to be. Spiky wings?XD;;; Looking forward to it. And two people as the pilot? Woah.

Heh...so Avalon was Schneziel's "Another Strong Weapon"...and I thought it was Orange.

And I'm amused to see that Lulu fell from the 8th Prince to the 11th Prince, and now the 17th Prince.XD;;

Wrong - he's the eighth prince (this numbering system only serves to know who's older than who among the princes, nothing more), but he's the seventeenth in the succession line (which does not discriminate your gender, btw). He's at the back of the line because
1°) he's one of the youngest - if not the youngest - princes of the family
2°) Marianne was a commoner by birth, meaning that he has low priority on succeeding. 'Purebloods' like Clovis and Schneizel, who are both older and have noble mothers, get first dibs on the throne and are higher up in the succession ladder.

Yes, I know all that, but the blurb on the scan says that he's the 17th prince. The first sentence: ブリタニアの第１７皇子

[defade.livejournal.com]

And I was referring to how Animage said he was the eighth prince, the manga version said that he was the eleventh prince and how newtype refers him as the seventeenth prince.

I thought he claimed to be the 17th something in the episode where he reveals himself to Clovis. But my memory is shot on whether he said he's the 17th prince or 17th in line. I thought he was the 17th in line, though. It still made me wonder who the others were ahead of him since I counted: Schneizel, Cornelia, Euphemia, Clovis - there's got to be people above Schneizel and Cornelia since they're 2nd (unless they're 2nd because Emperor and Empress = 1st?), but still, that's 4. And the other 13 are where? (rhetorical question)
