a)Taniguchi, the director of the anime who is also writing the plot for this manga, has said before that he likes "challenges" and working on his first manga project sounds like a good one. Or he might just want to take a break from directing stuff. b)The manga format allows the creators to take more risks and be a little more flexible without being restricted by the demands and pressures of a weekly anime production. Unless it is prematurely cancelled, there should be no such thing as the rush or the pacing problems we saw in R2 and the story should move along at a better pace. It's also easier to gradually introduce weird or crazy ideas and see whether they work or not, making changes to them if necessary. c)Perhaps the plan is to adapt this manga into an animated format sooner or later, depending on how successful it is. d)All of the above? |

Although, I would have loved to see a remake of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion written by Okouchi. His words would be much better than the previous authors who wrote the manga adaptations, which suck. And this doesn't include The Nightmare of Nunnally.

Oh come now. R2 was awesome in some aspects. i.e: Kallen and Lelouch kiss, Bunny Kallen... Luciano butthurt being fried by SEITEN. Beats most series with those three.
I say we halt the possible speculation until we get more then one volume to go on. Sounds logical and the speculator will look less stupid if they wait just a bit longer. Who says that is actually Lelouch, and simply not his spirit of some sort? We don't know enough to make anything plausible. What we do know is the period of time and what they are planning on doing with manga-verse and anime-verse. (Lost Colors is learned towards anime-verse for several reasons, not naming due to offtopic.) Quote:

Honestly, I think your hypothesis is a bit of a stretch since the show gave us absolutely no indication of why that would make any difference, but I admit there's really no way to prove or disprove it at the moment. Until then, the subject remains open to speculation and it's something that may be addressed by the new manga in time.

Okay, if anyone brings up anymore of any of the 'code' bullshit or I'll send a wave of hatred through your internet connection so strong it will vaporize your soul instantaneously.
(Oh, you doubt?) If anything I'm betting the Lelouch look-alike is an ancestor. (Or hell, an ancestor of Xing-ke.) Why were we even speculating that the look-alike was Lelouch in the first place? Oh yeah, because of that one promo pic that named Lelouch next to Renya: http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/8...codegeassg.jpg And that guy is most certainly not the same as this guy: http://www.imagebam.com/image/9680e881794048 Unless Lelouch ditched the cape for a red one and grew his hair out. In which case, then clearly: You laugh, but if it's Lelouch that seems to be exactly what they're implying. Anyway "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'entrate" -that text appears more than once, but I forget when the second time was. I love it when a series gives subtle homages to classic literature. And it's a coy way of seeing deeper into the plot. On a side note, it's not perfect but it looks like the manga ka for Renya has been studying up on Sunrize's style a bit. Thank God.

If you want to get off the rather beaten path of the code theory, here's something I've been thinking about lately:
If the world of C is generally the collective mind of mankind and each and every person on earth is actually a mask directly linked to that entity, than the fact that Lelouch existed in 2018 (or whenever) means that the potential for Lelouch existed throughout time and might be able to manifest itself regardless of the fate of it predecessors. Take it a step further and Lelouch could just be a tool of the collective for whenever the world is going out of control (Oh, look, another madman wants to blow up the planet...fetch me the #7 spanner, please. Yeah, the one with the messiah complex and the suicidal tendencies.) Very unlikely to be anything close to cannon but it's still an entertaining trail of thought. |

Unless I see him making an organization called The Black Knights and 'performing miracles' will I even consider it being Rebellion Lelouch.
Le-like is simply identifiable to Rebellion Lelouch, nothing more then we can see besides that. I'll wait for concrete evidence, along with good scans and translations of the evidence so we can finally have something to go on. So far, we have near nothing to go on besides character recycling. (I use character recycling in a very lenient manner, mind you.) So I wouldn't fret or theorize anything quite yet. |

In regards to the new manga. It looks very interesting, and if I find the time I'll check it out for a read. Methinks that the Lelouch-alike is probably an ancestor of Lelouch just like the Gino-alike/clone most certainly is. Unless there's some kind of "Otogi Zoshi" thingy going on in CG that we don't yet know about? |
