Just wishful thinking for now

I wish this would happen since OZ was supposed to be CG version of MSV but all we're getting now are lame recolors besides 6 or so original designs...

Well, MSV also has some stuff like that. I'd say it depends on how long Oz lasts. Technically even the "recolors" still qualify as custom Sutherlands and Gloucesters, sort of like several of the custom Zakus that Gundam often uses, though obviously I'd be happier if we did eventually see a larger set of more unique designs along the lines of what you've pointed out. I suppose part of the reason for trying to recycle some of the old designs is to make toy manufacturing easier.

So, the joke's on you son

[Fireminer]

Well, never read Oz, so I don't know. But it's just one year between R1 and R2!

Sadly, she's not Alice. This young lady is the non manga Alice! She's going to appear is OVA 2.


And if you look that this picture here, it confirms she is a part of the Britannia royal Family.


As for her uniform looking like she's from the Geass order, hmmm I can see where you get that from.

Re-link to the game and a picture so everyone here knows who we're talking about XD

Look closely. The one in the OVA and the one in the game are two different individuals.

I know they are two different girls. I thought I made that clear... oops, my bad ^^; sorry.

And yes! This picture that was just posted clearly shows this misery girl in the Geass Order clothing! Good eyes Masurao45 XD

Yup! The girl who looks like Alice being part of the Geass Order is like a possible reference to when Alice was part of the Irregular Unit-Group of Girls who have Geass powers. Ever since the Julius Kingsley regarding the Lelouch vibe has been spreading out lately, it seems as if Sunrise/Clamp is starting to give Nightmare of Nunnally a huge love. Julius with Suzaku=Rolo and Anya.....it's starting to make sense!

OZ manga 17

[Eternal Dreamer]

Sorry for the lateness of this. Here are the summaries respectively for this month's manga and photo story chapters:

Spoiler for Oz Manga Ch 16 Summary (Extended):

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Manga) Chapter 16

Orpheus has finished his mission at the Britannian Army garrison base at Hong Kong within the Chinese Federation. This time, Orpheus has accepted several missions at almost the same time. One of them is his mission to destroy the Britannian base in Hong Kong, which he has just finished. Next is an investigation of a new model bomb (F.L.E.I.J.A.) in Area 11. Another of his mission is to assassinate the Second Prince Schneizel el Britannia in the Chinese Federation. While preparing for his upcoming missions, Orpheus exchanges words with his teammates, and then sets off.

Spoiler for Oz Manga Ch 17 Summary:

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Manga) Chapter 17

Marrybell inspects Area 11 while traveling incognito. Just as she finishes her inspection, she is surrounded by men calling themselves the “Black Knights”. Oldrin tries to get Marrybell to run away. The ones that obstruct their path are ordinary Honorary Britannians.

And the photo story summary:

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 16 Summary (Extended):

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Photo Story) Chapter 16

Ernest Macleod possesses an original Knightmare Frame idea. Having judged that his idea would deliver a great blow to Britannia’s enemies, the client decides to eliminate him and entrusts the assassination mission to Orpheus.
Having infiltrated into the Hickam Air Force base that is used as the headquarters of Macleod’s troops on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, Orpheus observes one of his sworn enemies who he has pursued here, Typhon Radon.

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 17 Summary:

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Photo Story) Chapter 17

Orpheus is requested by a client to prevent the Vercingetorix from being delivered to the Euro Britannians. He is requested to attack the one on the route with the highest possibility of carrying the actual Knightmare among the multiples routes.

And the photo story website preview:

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 17 Preview:

Summary: The brand-new model Knightmare “Vercingetorix” is said to being transported to the Euro Britannians over an overland route from Mongolia. The client has requested that Orpheus destroy or capture it. However, the Euro Britannians are apparently transporting the Vercingetorix among one of several transport routes, with dummies included among them. Orpheus is entrusted to attack the route with the highest possibility of being correct, but…

Highlight: Orpheus once again does something unreasonable this time while jumping the Byakuen directly onto the running train. The ones attacking the Byakuen in this chapter are the specialized Sutherlands of the Knights of St. Michael, but it really is unreasonable to fight on top of a train running at 500 km/h. By the way, in the November issue of “Monthly Comp Ace” currently on sale, Orpheus appears wearing the Ashford uniform! It’s a must-see!!

Finally, here's the translation of the info provided by gordol on the manga chapter:

1. This time rush into Area 11.
2. Marrybell doesn't seem to know about the survival of Lelouch and Nunnally?
3. A bedroom scene between Oldrin and Marrybell right from the start.
4. At the same time, Orpheus (wearing a school uniform, also infiltrates Area 11.
5. Their eyes widen as they as inspect the upper city district. (At things like Sutherland figures and Lancelot theater masks)
6. Marrybell is kidnapped in the ghettos.
7. Since Zero is gone, the kidnapping is done without planning or thought.
8. All the Honorary Britannians (Japanese) in the ghettos act as enemies and get in the way of Oldrin and the others.
9. The one that saves Marrybell is Orpheus.
10. Clara is shown as a high school student on the front illustration. (Her skirt is turned up but her panties can't be seen.)

[Blackmambauk]

great stuff eternal dreamer as always, this will help quite a bit in my fanfiction work alongside my writing partner as well, since we are using the oz characters and all that. Your translations are really great and it's great I can read some of oz hopefully one day all of it, since it is interesting in it's own way.

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 16 Preview:

Summary: Orpheus receives an offer from Miss X that takes him to Oahu Island in Hawaii. The mission this time is the assassination of a Britannian soldier that is advocating the implementation of a ground-breaking KMF team. But, In order to acquire information needed for achieving this mission, they have to meet up with an information provider 24 hours before he carries out the plan. Orpheus and Ze infiltrate Oahu Island in Miss X’s stead due to her inability to move, but there, Orpheus is attacked by his sworn enemy, a member of Pluton.

Highlight: This time the Byakuen Flight-Enabled Version appears again for the first time in a while. Being able to fly is certainly an advantage, but if used by Orpheus, a terrorist who commits many assassinations, subversive activities and espionage, might he not use it in unexpected ways? It may be just a piece of equipment. Story-wise, Orpheus also has a rare situation where he disguises himself as a girl, but as expected, wouldn’t Orpheus look just like Oldrin in women’s clothes since they’re twins?

Also, to answer Kurohane's question, the ones responsible for the manga and photo story are different people. Obviously some amount of collaboration is present, but it seems like they each take care of the finer details on their own, which lead to discrepancies popping up. (For instance, in the photo story, Orpheus meets Wizard for the first time during the battle in the Middle East, but in the manga, it is suggested that he already knows him. The way that battle plays out is also vastly different between the two versions, though that can't be helped perhaps, since photo stories usually give only minimal detail in describing scenes, while the manga can visually show much more kinetic and drawn out scenes, especially in battle.) There is also a discrepancy between the photo story and Akito the Exiled when one chapter briefly crossed over with the events in the OVA movies. Because of this, I usually consider the manga as the main canon with the photo story as semi-canon; just consider anything that doesn't directly contradict events in the manga or the rest of canon as true, leaving aside the parts that do as the "author's personal interpretation/preference in story writing".

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I would have liked to have the same people working on both, but if that was the case, we'd have one medium instead of two from the beginning. Plus, it explains the discrepancies.

Again, thanks for the translations as always.

I'm starting to think the girl with pigtails from "Maelstrom of Libra" name actually IS Libra. I tried to do and very very poor self translation and I got "RAIBURA".

As for the male character, for his first name I got "GUANIRU".

This is all from looking off a translation chart of KATAKANA, so I could be very wrong.

Anyone got any better translations?

Confirmed to be a Plutone member

sweet, hopefully eternal dreamer will be able to make sense of what is in the article, his work is always good.

[GundamFan0083]

Damn it, I need to start reading this.
It looks really good.

Well, first off, this Pluton character's name is Vale Riot, and he apparently appears in the recent "Maelstrom of Libra" SNS game. Here's the rundown on the relevant info given in the article. (I'm not translating it word for word this time, just giving the important bits. Most of this article is just rehashes of things that are already known.)

-Same usual description of Pluton and its role as the shadowy Britannian organization run by the Zevon family, who are a low-ranking noble family. Also the usual background on the leader Oiaguro (secretly Wizard) killing sister and taking over the family.
-The size of the organization is uncertain, but Vale is a commander that is given control of a squadron, so it can be surmised that Pluton is of a certain size at least.
-Five members of Pluton, including Oiaguro, hunted down the runaway Orpheus at the request of the Geass Order and killed Euria. Among those five, Cerberus was killed in Chapter 4 and Typhon Radon in chapter 16 by Orpheus. Only three of them remain. (Basically, Oiaguro and two others yet to be revealed.)
-Incidentally, the clothes that Vale is wearing the picture are apparently the uniform for Pluton members.

Last month's HJ:









Eternal Dreamer bro could you translate the Vercingetorix part? Also anything interesting on the KOR part on the right side of it? Looks like they mention the missing KOR there
