Code Geass - Spoilers & Speculation (old)

[Shiroth]

It looks like i'm gonna like Sophie - love her name, and her hair style rocks my socks. <3

[Majek]

hmm new girls eh. this can get interesting. If she starts hitting on lulu then we're in for plenty of catfights XD

[evil|plushie]

Her smile just seems like its going to bring trouble somehow.... is she supposed to be a major or minor char?

No information so far, but as there is no trace of her in the OP (while another unidentified character already made its appearance - hinting to her being a possibly 'major' agent in the future plot) in the Ashford crew shot, I'll assume she'll be a minor character. And it seems that, indeed, Miki Hayashi is a first-timer Seiyuu...wonder how well (or badly, the distinction is up to you) she'll fare in this field.


Also, there is a possibility that Sophie might be a snitch working for Viletta and co. since she stated in ep9 that it was worthwhile to investigate the student lead she had uncovered by reminiscing her dialogue with Lelouch prior to his Geassing her. Maybe they sent her to keep track of who's attending courses when Zero is working...and who is not.

Spoiler for Episode 13 & 14 titles:

Episode 13: Shirley and the Gun Point
(As in, Shirley will wind up in the point-blank range of a gun? I'm not really sure how to translate 'juukou' more accurately than that...maybe 'gun muzzle'?)

Episode 14: Geass vs. Geass
I'm vouching for an epic C.C./Lelouch/Suzaku showdown, only half way through the series. ^o^ Heck, throw Nana-chan into the mix!!

*sigh* Looks like there's no doubt about it now...

Spoiler:

Episode 13 of course seems like a Shirely episode, though for her to get an episode could very well mean she'll find out someone's secret. As for Episode 14.. we'll know once episode 11 airs. :3

Also, the new character Sophie is supposed to appear around that time.

[Li Jianliang]

Sophie Wood has the exact same color scheme originally intended for the now orange-haired, lime green-eyed Shirley. I wonder if she switched places with Shirley during the plot and character development process.

Great point there Jianliang - it looks pretty certain now that she'll be apart of Shirley's story/episode. Purple & Orange seem to go well together. :3

[SoldierOfDarkness]

Speaking of timelines, does anyone remember Cornelia's attack on the Blood Samurai base?

The weapons the japanese were using looks like they belong in WWI-WWII, not post-war but I could be wrong (The weapons look way too ancient unless Japan had stagnated in its military power).

Also, at this moment we don't even know CC's true agenda or why she's helping Lulu, or if she really is helping him.

The only source of that that I found was a Japanese Wikepedia... Do you have any other source? Scan of animage/Newtype/etc?

It's just that there had been false information flying around all through the run of GSD, and I don't see the reason why I shouldn't be careful here.

I was wondering the same thing, too, as a previous batch of spoilers (which, incidentally, you, VCV, have translated for me) has barely been released and now there's another set coming up? I'm not sure the staff is willing to release that much especially since we're already skipping an episode due to end of the year's celebrations.

Please post the scan(s) and/or url(s) like I did - it'd be easier to verify.

[ordnance11]

Well, it looks like Cornelia is gonna bite the dust sooner rather than later.

As for Orange-kun...

Alas, poor Jeremiah..I hardly knew ye...

Geass vs. Geass...oh hell!

[Renegade334]

Oh-oh. From the Code Geass LJ, and out of Animage's January issue:

There's also nice sights of blackness.(There is...!?)
Suzaku who silently runs with his beliefs, while accused by cold eyes of his fellow countrymen as a honored Britannian. Compared to Lelouch who goes forward by any means, Suzaku has a strong image of pure-whiteness. However!
"It will be revealed that Suzaku seems to have a trauma. He sees a nightmare in episode11, but there is something dark within his past."
It's completely opposite from the nice sights of prettiness, but this also is a huge highlight=certainly is a great watch!!

...

[Majek]

Interesting. Now we wait for the crybabies to arrive to complain about it, how it'st just convenient means to someone "redeem" Suzaku's "foolish idealism"

Anyway whatever it is we'll have plenty of time to "discuss"(i gues that should read bash ) it till January 4th.

[Sirmackerel]

Wait, the next episode won't be coming out until January 4th?

OH GEASS NO!

Ep11 will air on December 21st as usual but there won't be anything the week after, on the 28th, due to end of the year celebrations calling for other, special programs. The usual schedule resumes on January 4th with ep12.

What he meant was, 'we have two full weeks to discuss Suzaku's past before the next episode steps in with new material to dwell on.'

[Majek]

yes Renegade334 explained perfectly what i meant.

So i guess we have a potential answer on what's going on in the preview for ep 11 don't we? The next questions is why is CC (i assume- what else ) making him remember that.

Or maybe that's just bullshit and that nightmare appears before he gets Geass xD

[evil|plushie]

Shrugs. there seems to be only 2 major reasons why C.C does anything

1) destroy britainnia
2) protect Lulu, although this may be so that he can do britainnia.

So if she's the one who makes him remember that, maybe Suzakus nightmare probably has something to do with britainnia, something that may cause him to want to destroy it.

It's not certain that C.C. wants to destroy Britannia - it's only likely that her greatest wish - which has not been revealed yet - involves taking Britannia out of the picture in the process, but right now I have another outlook at it. I rather see her siding with Lelouch to grant him his wish so that he, in return, can grant hers.

In other words, she's fulfilling her contract first, then, as soon as it's done, she'll ask for payment. I nevertheless find that it'd require a lot of patience from her part, but, hey, from someone who lived more than a hundred years and who's currently witnessing a fast-paced period, well, I don't think it's asking too much from her.

Perhaps that wish of hers involves freeing her people, retrieving an artifact or finding someone. Who knows.
But I'm not sure C.C.'s priority and deepest desire is to crush Britannia - that's Lelouch's line.

It's most probably revolving around his father's death - and I have the feeling we'll get to see why Suzaku prizes the pocket watch (the keepsake that saved his life back in episode 1) he always carries with him.
