Code Geass Drama CD discussion

However with the speed R2 has been moving at i think that instead of having one in each Cd devoted to sillyness it would've been better if they concentrated on fleshing it out as much as possible.

Everything about R2 is the "Not As Planned" nightmare for the production staff. The early changes to the series are the end result of what we got. Perhaps if they get to do another Code Geass series, they could do the "Planned/Alternate Universe" version of R2, which would have to see a storyline that would exceed the one we saw. This would restore the original feel of Code Geass R1. This is the reason why they might have killed off Lelouch because the production staff didn't like R2 at all and had wanted end the season as it is. And given the success of Code Geass thus far, we might see the "Planned Version" of Code Geass someday. Although it might have a very different storyline to distinguish it from R2.

Dude, get off the Milley express already, that went over the cliff like even before R2 and back in Season 1 when... hmm, its always been over the cliff now that I think about it. Anyway, quit blaming the R2 and the Drama CD's already, they are funny and enjoyable despite not being serious and you should work with what you have on the matter instead of whining about what you don't. C'mon, they're funny, they made me shoot up diet coke into my nose when I heard them

Spoiler for SE4:

Track 1 - Cecile and Lloyd's "Welcome Mr. Knightmare-san"

Cecile and Lloyd host a show for Knightmares. In this show, knightmares are allowed to talk about their fine and bad points and they get to complain about their pilots too. Cecile and Lloyd allow each knightmare to introduce themselves:

Lancelot - a very respectful Sakurai. He gets tongue-tied at the beginning.
Guren - a yankee Koshimizu who's vulgar, lol. She cranks out a very loud, "Hajikero, buriki-yarou!".
Gawain - voiced by a normal Fukuyama and Yukana; they speak in sync. Later on, Lloyd asks if they could separate their voices, which they do. Yukana does Gawain solely later on.
Tristan - same personality as Gino, may sound somewhat annoying to others even
Mordred - a stuttering version of Anya; despite her big body, she's very shy. Lloyd mentions that Mordred's hadron cannon is the strongest.
Shenhu - narcissist Xingke; he proclaims his love to Cecile; Cecile tells him to die.
Vincent - a much assertive version of Rolo; a bro-con who admires Lancelot-niisan.
Siegfried - same personality as Jeremiah; the other knightmares complain why he's on the show, since he's a fortress, not a knightmare.
Shinkirou - Fukuyama speaking kansai-ben; surprisingly has a chipper/dapper personality.

After the introductions, Cecile and Lloyd announce that they've already reached half-time. The next part of the show is to "voice your concern/complaint for/about your pilot". Only Lancelot and Guren get to say anything before madness kicks in. The knightmares suddenly want to try flying around, instigated by Guren who just got her float system. Mordred also ends up almost shooting her hadron cannons.

When the knightmares have calmed down, Cecile and Lloyd proceed to the next portion of the show, in which they present sakuradite fluid to the knightmares. Apparently, Lloyd mixed something dangerous in the sakuradite. The one who ends up the most drunk is Mordred. Everyone goes crazy again and near the end, Guren goes berserk activating her fukusha hadou.



Track 2 - Lelouch and the part-time jobs he can't do

Surprisingly entertaining. Lelouch does part-time jobs as credit for Villeta-sensei. Rival introduces him to a few jobs, such as:

1. hamburger fast-food restaurant employee - Lelouch the casanova tries to charm female customers (he sounds like a playboy here XD); C.C. appears ordering pizza, which Lelouch points out that the restaurant doesn't serve because, for crying out loud, they only sell hamburgers!

Lelouch gets fired for arguing with certain "customer".

2. bellboy at a hotel - Rival comes to check up on Lelouch in time to see him having a VERY, VERY hard time carrying luggage. Rival remembers that Lelouch is physically inept, haha. Actually, while inside the elevator, Lelouch geasses the guest to carry his own luggage. The next guest is, as expected, C.C., who has a mountain of luggage that Lelouch must carry. Knowing that geass doesn't work on C.C., Lelouch runs out on his job.

3. apparel store employee - C.C. comes to bother Lelouch again. She orders Lelouch to take her body measurement. "This saucy woman will prove to you that this XX-hundred-year-old body has not changed!" C.C. declares. While inside the dressing room, Rival overhears Lelouch and C.C. and he imagines wild things.

4. guardsman for a pizza cold storage vault - I can't believe there's a job like this for Lelouch Rival introduces the job to Lelouch without him knowing what he's guarding. All of a sudden, C.C. appears. Apparently, the Black Knights are taking cost-cutting measures and C.C. is looking for pizza provisions.

Lelouch claims that C.C. is a mere thief (dorobou) but C.C. corrects him, saying that she is a "mysterious phantom thief (kaitou)". Lelouch allows C.C. into the pizza storage. C.C. is very ecstatic and even does a little girl impression of "Yey yey! Pizza! Eat all you can!" C.C. notices something in another corner and stepping towards it, the sensors are triggered and the alarm sounds. Lelouch and Rival escape, fearing that they'll be caught as criminals and leaves a screaming mad C.C. behind.

5. a part-timer who washes dead bodies at a hospital - One of the most ridiculous jobs that Lelouch gets and the only job Rival is able to get for Lelouch in the end. :heh A scared Rival hands over the tools Lelouch needs for the job and runs off. Lelouch is left alone. The room is fairly quiet except for the sound of water moving in the formalin pool. Suddenly. C.C. jumps out from the formalin pool, screaming "Lelouuuuch!", scaring the heck out of Lelouch.

I guess this puts 'Lelouch and the Part Time Jobs He Can't Do' right next to 'Beautiful Record of the Rebellion' as my favorite sound episode in R2.

I laughed so hard at the second track C.C. is so awesome I would have liked to see that in the anime, seriously, cluclu FTW <3

Thanks a lot, +rep, and I will rep you again later :O

Might I remind you that the argument of the series being 'Not as Planned' is that one blogger's opinion, and that there is no evidence aside from Taniguch admitting that he couldn't work some stuff in (OMG NOT AS PLANNED) to show that the series is a 'nightmare'?

No use talking you out of it, though- you're in so deep you've retconned the whole of R2.

Now, now. Milly had a chance w/ Lelouch at one time. Back during the one drama CD when Lelouch and Nunnally first came under the care of the Ashfords. Lelouch was separated from Euphie and it would be ~5-6 years before he would meet Shirley and 7 years before he would meet Kallen and C.C. Milly had her chance for a LOOOONG time, and she blew it. (Mind you, she was only, what 11 when they met).

13 if I recall, pretty hard for me to imagine Lelouch's voice being that deep until he hit puberty at least

I can't stop rofling at how awesome the latest drama cd was.

A bit of more info-translation than already posted about the second part. {thanks to kitsune from LJ}

Drama #2: "Lelouch's impossible part-time jobs"

Spoiler for cut for possible spoilers:

Setting is a Hamburger restaurant, where Lelouch is working part-time, a job attributed by Rivalz, the job coordinator of Ashford. Lelouch complains a little because it's Viletta sensei's punishment for him to have him work here.
Rivals encourages him to try smiling a little. Lelouch is all enthusiastic because he rehearsed that in front of the mirror and demonstrates. Rivalz shivers.
Female customers enter, Lelouch knows all their data already. He deals pretty well with them Rivalz seems to think. But it appears Lelouch abuses of his charm with the ladies to make them order ("Pheromon poison" Rivalz calls it XDDD)
Lelouch is proud of himself (and the girls have surely fainted by now).

Suddenly CC enters and Lelouch is troubled, Rivalz inquire whether they know each other. CC switches subject and orders a chorizo pizza {which sounded like "Chorisu". I shouldn't translate this right after G00}. Lelouch gets angry, explaining that this is a hamburger restaurant, and she shouldn't bother him at work.
CC uses he condescending tone and complains because this restaurant doesn't have anything she orders and the bantering turns into a fight and Rivalz tries to stop him because it'll get Lelouch fired.

Indeed, Lelouch has now a new job, bellboy in a hotel. He seems to fit in perfectly and says there are no problems. In fact, he geasses the customers to carry their luggage by themselves when they are too heavy for him, Prince of Low Stamina xD
Rivalz, visiting him again, asks about the girl of last time, because she was kinda cute. Lelouch says he shouldn't get involved with girls. Coincidentially, CC walks in again, and Lelouch feels she wants to cause trouble again. CC wants him to lift her super heavy luggage, but since geass doesn't work on her he's at a loss and ends up chasing her with the luggage trolley(??? Idk, just sounded like that xD")


New job again, this time it's a clothes' shop (a tailor? Since Lelouch seems good at creating costumes xD), and he's pretty good at it. CC walks in again. She wants Lelouch to measure her, but he insists she knows her size(s) best. There's some sort of sexual tension, as you can imagine from Lelouch being close to her, taking her sizes and whispering to each other (even Rivalz notices this). CC makes a lot of cute noises, Lelouch tells her not to fidget like this. CC however punches him when he wants to speak out her bust size (sounded like 80).


New job, security guard in some store. Rivalz brings him hot coffee. Lelouch is scarred "that person" will come again. Ineed, CC turns up with the Black Knights' theme music, and Lelouch can barely hide the fact that she's leading the Order from Rivalz. He calls her a thief, but she corrects him, it's "Master/Phantom Thief" ("Kaito", as in Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne, Kaito kid, Kaito StTail etc), as opposed to a vile criminal. She nonetheless steals all the pizza that was stored in the shop (switching to a scary overly moe voice), but Lelouch has set her a trap and the alarm goes on. Rivalz and Lelouch run away, CC gets trapped behind a closing door.


Rivalz has gotten a final job for Lelouch, involving a gas mask and a cursed location close to a hospital. Rivalz seems to think it's scary because he runs away but Lelouch is confident it should be ok. Because of the water noise I take it for a sort of "pool" as I heard {anyway, I'm tired}. It ends with CC jumping out of the water ("RURUUUUUUSHUUUUUUU") and scarring the hell out of Lelouch.

END {yes, on such a random note}

She really loves to tease him . That shows she really likes him but Lelouch is too dense to see it, that boy.............. ^^"

Thanks your friend on LJ for me

Can someone tell me where I could find a translation of Sound Episode #6? I've given up trying to find it by myself because the links I've found were useless.

[Sprite_Coke]

Spoiler for SE 4:

I don't have the lyrics yet, but I hear "Thank you for your life" in Kallen's song. WTF..... Lelouch did all that to create the gentle world they all wanted and that's it?!?!?

There's more than that. Lyrics can be found in the Kallen thread.

Nah, she said 'Thank you for your love, I won't forget it, the person with a strong and beautiful heart.' The song is basically dedicated to Lelouch.

Spoiler for One More Chance lyrics translated by defade from lj:

The streets are slowly waking up
Feeling a new breeze
The numbers of dreams lost
I treasure them in my heart.

thank you for your love
All those people I've met until today that supported me.
thank you for your love
I won't forget you, a person with a strong and beautiful heart.

One more chance
Please watch over me.
So that I can continue down the path of my belief.
Yes, one more chance, just one more.
I will try to live on, for you too.

Even though the war was ended.
I cannot let my tears fall, yet.
Until I can ascend one step
On the staircase of our promise.

I will try again
Even when I stumble
I will lift my chest high, in order to walk forward.
I will try again
Someday I'll catch up
Please encourage me, tell me that I'm not alone.

One more chance
Dawn will break
I want to wave my hand at the stars
Yes, one more chance, tomorrow
Shine above the sky again.

I really want to meet you
And cry in your arms. (literally would be 'in your chest', but 'in your arms' sound more natural and delivers the same message)

One more chance
Please watch over me.
So that I can continue down the path of my belief.
Yes, one more chance, just one more.
I will try to live on, for you too.

One more chance
Dawn will break
I want to wave my hand at the stars
Yes, one more chance, tomorrow
Shine above the sky again.

Thanks. Yes, I'd really like it if they do something like Code Geass Fumoffu. Come on, Taniguchi. Though you say you're done with Lelouch's story, you can still make spin-offs, can't you?

[FoxxFireArt]

Judging form the lyrics of Kallen's song it does seem dedicated to Lelouch.

I really like this line,
"I really want to meet you
And cry in your arms."

If I had a complaint about the ending is that I wish there was more of a feeling that Kallen suspected that Lelouch could still be alive and had hope she may meet him again one day.
I understand why they didn't do that though. It would of answered what could be the mystery of the finale.

I've seen come of the lyrics for Lelouch's character song that seems to point to that scene where Lelouch and Kallen kiss.
I only saw a small snippet though of the lyrics. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was something in that song to C.C. as well.

Why the heck would she expect him to be alive at all? He got stabbed right in front of her and dropped dead. ><

Fan vs fan alive or dead debate with Code possibility really doesn't apply with her as she wouldn't know about that chance.

I did explain that it was just a complaint I had. It wasn't something I expected.
It's just something I would of liked. Just that there could be a possibility of it happening no matter how small.

That's why I like like line, because he speaks to a hope or at least a dream to see him again.

I know why it was done the way it was. I don't think Lelouch had a the Code. Though remember that Mao survived a freakin' butt load of bullets.
I think the ending they made works out well. It could be the finale, or if they ever want to they could make a movie. The ending felt open and no major cast character died.

Here are the lyrics to Regeneration, Lelouch's char song. I tried my best to translate it. There are some errors, for sure. People can feel free to improve/correct the lyrics. I'll be posting this in Lelouch's thread as well.

Spoiler for Regeneration lyrics:

沈黙主張する顔
A face insisting on silence
情熱隠したままで
concealing passion
押さえつけられて生きるのか
living weighted down
奇跡手に入れるには
to obtain these miracles
時に心捨てる
I throw my heart away
君の涙つらいけど
Though your tears are painful


暗闇がより深ければ
The darkness deepens
星はより光るだろう
The stars grow brighter
なら悪にでも
Even if I have to be evil
魂を引き替えても
Even if I have to sell my soul


世界が変わる　そのときまで
I will change the world, 'til that time
突き上げてく　炎の剣
Thrusting a sword of flame
進むべき 空の下で
I must move forward, beneath this sky
守る君のために
in order to protect you


修羅の道を行く者
the one who treads on this scene of carnage
二度と引き返せない
cannot turn back anymore
砕け散り灰になろうとも
even if I turn into powdered ashes


命限りあるから
because there is a limit to life
賭ける値打ちがある
(a life) worth betting on
つなぐ指をほどいても
even if you/I let go of our linked fingers (this seems to refer to a promise - yubikiri)
幸せが目に見えるなら
if happiness can be seen in the eyes
君に見せられるなら
if I can show it to you
地の果てまでも
even if I stand at the end of this world
闇の終わりに立とうと
stand on the edge of darkness

世界が変わる　その朝には
I will change the world
this morning
目を細めて空をみるだろう
eyes narrowed, look up to the skies
この腕に君と光
抱きしめるときまで
until the time I hold you and the light in this arms


世界が変わる　そのときまで
I will change the world, 'til that time
突き上げてく　炎の剣
Thrusting a sword of flame
進むべき 空の下で
I must move forward, beneath this sky
守る君のために
in order to protect you

Though the song may refer to Kallen, I think it's more directed at Nunnally, because of the pinky promise.

Spoiler for SE4:

Track 1 - Cecile and Lloyd's "Welcome Mr. Knightmare-san"

Cecile and Lloyd host a show for Knightmares. In this show, knightmares are allowed to talk about their fine and bad points and they get to complain about their pilots too. Cecile and Lloyd allow each knightmare to introduce themselves:

Lancelot - a very respectful Sakurai. He gets tongue-tied at the beginning.
Guren - a yankee Koshimizu who's vulgar, lol. She cranks out a very loud, "Hajikero, buriki-yarou!".
Gawain - voiced by a normal Fukuyama and Yukana; they speak in sync. Later on, Lloyd asks if they could separate their voices, which they do. Yukana does Gawain solely later on.
Tristan - same personality as Gino, may sound somewhat annoying to others even
Mordred - a stuttering version of Anya; despite her big body, she's very shy. Lloyd mentions that Mordred's hadron cannon is the strongest.
Shenhu - narcissist Xingke; he proclaims his love to Cecile; Cecile tells him to die.
Vincent - a much assertive version of Rolo; a bro-con who admires Lancelot-niisan.
Siegfried - same personality as Jeremiah; the other knightmares complain why he's on the show, since he's a fortress, not a knightmare.
Shinkirou - Fukuyama speaking kansai-ben; surprisingly has a chipper/dapper personality.

After the introductions, Cecile and Lloyd announce that they've already reached half-time. The next part of the show is to "voice your concern/complaint for/about your pilot". Only Lancelot and Guren get to say anything before madness kicks in. The knightmares suddenly want to try flying around, instigated by Guren who just got her float system. Mordred also ends up almost shooting her hadron cannons.

When the knightmares have calmed down, Cecile and Lloyd proceed to the next portion of the show, in which they present sakuradite fluid to the knightmares. Apparently, Lloyd mixed something dangerous in the sakuradite. The one who ends up the most drunk is Mordred. Everyone goes crazy again and near the end, Guren goes berserk activating her fukusha hadou.



Track 2 - Lelouch and the part-time jobs he can't do

Surprisingly entertaining. Lelouch does part-time jobs as credit for Villeta-sensei. Rival introduces him to a few jobs, such as:

1. hamburger fast-food restaurant employee - Lelouch the casanova tries to charm female customers (he sounds like a playboy here XD); C.C. appears ordering pizza, which Lelouch points out that the restaurant doesn't serve because, for crying out loud, they only sell hamburgers!

Lelouch gets fired for arguing with certain "customer".

2. bellboy at a hotel - Rival comes to check up on Lelouch in time to see him having a VERY, VERY hard time carrying luggage. Rival remembers that Lelouch is physically inept, haha. Actually, while inside the elevator, Lelouch geasses the guest to carry his own luggage. The next guest is, as expected, C.C., who has a mountain of luggage that Lelouch must carry. Knowing that geass doesn't work on C.C., Lelouch runs out on his job.

3. apparel store employee - C.C. comes to bother Lelouch again. She orders Lelouch to take her body measurement. "This saucy woman will prove to you that this XX-hundred-year-old body has not changed!" C.C. declares. While inside the dressing room, Rival overhears Lelouch and C.C. and he imagines wild things.

4. guardsman for a pizza cold storage vault - I can't believe there's a job like this for Lelouch Rival introduces the job to Lelouch without him knowing what he's guarding. All of a sudden, C.C. appears. Apparently, the Black Knights are taking cost-cutting measures and C.C. is looking for pizza provisions.

Lelouch claims that C.C. is a mere thief (dorobou) but C.C. corrects him, saying that she is a "mysterious phantom thief (kaitou)". Lelouch allows C.C. into the pizza storage. C.C. is very ecstatic and even does a little girl impression of "Yey yey! Pizza! Eat all you can!" C.C. notices something in another corner and stepping towards it, the sensors are triggered and the alarm sounds. Lelouch and Rival escape, fearing that they'll be caught as criminals and leaves a screaming mad C.C. behind.

5. a part-timer who washes dead bodies at a hospital - One of the most ridiculous jobs that Lelouch gets and the only job Rival is able to get for Lelouch in the end. :heh A scared Rival hands over the tools Lelouch needs for the job and runs off. Lelouch is left alone. The room is fairly quiet except for the sound of water moving in the formalin pool. Suddenly. C.C. jumps out from the formalin pool, screaming "Lelouuuuch!", scaring the heck out of Lelouch.

I guess this puts 'Lelouch and the Part Time Jobs He Can't Do' right next to 'Beautiful Record of the Rebellion' as my favorite sound episode in R2.

About the dorobou and kaitou, at first Lelouch doesn't agree with C.C. here. Then C.C. says, since being terrorist is NG but being the ally of justice is OK so... (She's referring to the Order of Black Knights. XD) Thus, Lelouch is willing to open the storehouse for her to 'take' all the pizza away. Unfortunately, C.C. activates the alarm system by accident and Lelouch is forced to close the storehouse, leaving C.C. behind in it.
