Sigh...some of you guys can't resist talking about this without using spoiler tags, can't you?
Remember that not everyone wants to be spoiled about this and almost nobody outside of Japan has seen the episode.

Course put this down to the fact neither series were even in production when r2 was made and the fact that each of the people working in either Akito and Oz don't communicate with one another, so consistent continuity and all those sort of stuff tend to be affected.
Plus I'm hoping it isn't Lelouch in that picture, as I fear if it is, then they will focus attention there instead of on the Akito characters like they should be doing. Lulu's story is done, I don't think we need to see anymore on him, On Suzaku and C.C, well that's another discussion for another thread.
But we have this episode of Akito and two more to go, so will have to wait and see, but I can't help but be a bit concerned about this.

Let's see...
Only time will tell, but I don't think it's especially hard to see how the new projects might possibly tie-in. Obviously any new material will always have the issue of bringing up content that did not exist beforehand and couldn't be retroactively referenced in earlier productions. This is true for Gundam and it is true for Code Geass.
Doesn't necessarily create any continuity problems, since it's not like people need to discuss foreign news or the entire history of the world when they're dealing with more recent developments in other regions. The original events of R2 are far too Japan-centric (even with the visit to the Chinese Federation) and that goes for the interests of the characters as well.
I also think it's an exaggeration to claim this is becoming "Lelouch's story" when the character in question had very little screen time in episode two and will never be the protagonist. Just a secondary member of the cast, albeit one that the fans will take an obvious interest in.
Not to mention that, regardless of this person's real identity, Julius is effectively not Lelouch by definition. He won't think or act like him.
