Thanks bro!

Okay, this seems interesting.

1: On this time's Oz (Orpheus Side), there are painful descriptions such as torture
2: Britannia has a liking for the occult by nature (rumors about the successive generations of emperors possessing paranormal powers have been going around for the past centuries)
3: (At Oldrin Side) Sokia's favorite machine is the enemy search-specialized Sutherland Eye (this unit appears on the cover of this month's NTA)

Here's the summary for this month's photo story chapter:

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 9 Summary (Extended):

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Photo Story) Chapter 9

Berlin, a city in Eastern Germany that is under the influence of the European Union. Orpheus runs through these streets where the battle between the EU army and the Euro Britannia army continues. The mission this time is to rescue a young genius Indian scientist, Neha Shankar, who was left behind there. However, Ze who accompanies him is not interested in it as he is “unable to stomach risking his life for a blessed person”. Within this uneasiness that remains in their human relations, the three of them aim to escape from the encirclement by the Euro-Britannia Army.

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 10 Summary:

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Photo Story) Chapter 10

Immediately after completing the rescue mission of Neha Shankar, Orpheus is straightaway given an urgent mission by Wizard. He wants Orpheus to change into an injured VIP with his Geass, and assassinate the “doushi*” that is Europe’s shadow ruler.

(TL Note: Doushi or 導師 officially means “officiating monk”, but it’s often used in different contexts and is hard to describe here, so I just left it in the Japanese.)

Also, the Oz website has been updated with KMF pages for the Zetland and also Sokia's new unit, the Sutherland Eye:



(No new info for the Zetland, just the color image.)

Sutherland Eye:
An experimental frame given to the Glinda Knights at the same time as the Zetland. It is Sokia’s personal Sutherland whose electronic equipment has been enhanced in order to search for the enemy and improve its command capabilities. By combining its Factsphere that can independently detect sound waves and electromagnetic waves over a wide bandwidth with an advanced calculation and processing system, it can grasp the battlefield situation in three dimensions. It is equipped with the experimental VARIS with the purpose of putting it into mass-production in mind and a Schroeder Steel knife, and it possesses enough armaments to go into battle. However, since the traditional Energy Filler does not possess enough energy for the VARIS by itself, it has a Yggdrasil Drive on its exterior.

Model Number: RZX-13/ESC
Height: 4.41m
Weight: 7.99t

Weapons:
-2x Slash Harkens
-Chaos Mine(s)
-1x experimental VARIS
-1x Schroeder Steel knife

Also, on a final note, the whole Picture Drama video can now be seen on the website by going to the Oldrin Side chapter summary page as well.

[gordol]

Thanks for the translations! No pic of the experimental VARIS though...

Sunrise is really going above and beyond in creating new mecha designs and variations. I am not sure they have ever dedicated this much resources for this long a time on a single franchise that isn't Gundam.

The KMF modelkits are not exactly top sellers, so that's definitely not why. Perhaps they are hedging their bets on a fantasy mecha show now that the Gundam franchise is stuck in a never ending cycle.

As far as I can tell...based on the significant number of different KMF models available as Robot Damashii figures, Code Geass seems to do better in terms of that specific product line instead of the actual model kits, so there's still an incentive to make more mecha as part of the current marketing and merchandising push. Even if there are only a few KMF kits and they won't sell a lot of them, the RD side of the market seems to be doing okay.

Oldrin's side 11:

　白熱するグリンダ騎士団とファイアーボールズによる記念試合。同じ孤児院で姉のように接してきたファイア ーボールズのサンドラは、プレイを通してソキアを自分のチームに戻そうとするが、ソキアの気持ちはグリンダ 騎士団に傾いていた。

[Eternal Dreamer]

Alright, here's the summary for this month's manga chapter:

Spoiler for Oz Manga Ch 10 Summary (Extended):

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Manga) Chapter 10

The KMF League exhibition match finally starts. The team Fireballs facing the Glinda Knights is led by Sandra, who grew up with Sokia like familiar in the same orphanage. Sandra tries to get Sokia, who has entered the military, to return to her team, but Sokia’s heart leans towards the Glinda Knights and she doesn’t notice Sandra’s feelings. While the match heats up in those circumstances, the anti-Imperial Family terrorist organization Talleyrand begins to move once again.

Spoiler for Oz Manga Ch 11 Summary:

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Manga) Chapter 11

The exhibition match between the Glinda Knights and the Fireballs heats up. The Fireballs’ Sandra, who acted as an older sister to Sokia at the same orphanage, tries to get Sokia to return through the game, but Sokia’s feelings lean towards the Glinda Knights.

Also, I will have the scans for the latest photo story chapter tomorrow, so I'll upload it then.

[Eternal Dreamer]

Okay, here's the latest photo story scans:

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 10 Scans:

There's no new info for the KMF images, although it does say that the Agravain "is conjectured to have used the design data of the Gareth, the mass-production version of the Gawain that was under development at the time".

7: The Robot Damashi Bradford van also reproduce the combination with the Robot Damashi Grail.
8: The Ayano-use Alexander Type-02 (plastic model) is scheduled for sale in May.

I seen the Bradford model, I bet the only way to keep the grail stand up with that thing in the back will be a pedestal with pivots.

In this month's photo story chapter, we finally have some interesting development, as Orpheus and Kallen meet each other in India! Here's the summary:

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 10 Summary (Extended):

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Photo Story) Chapter 10

Immediately after completing the rescue mission of Neha Shankar, Orpheus is straightaway given an urgent mission by Wizard. He wants Orpheus to change into an injured VIP with his Geass, and assassinate the “doushi*” that is Europe’s shadow ruler. However, Orpheus’ Geass is seen through by the doushi when he confronts him, and he is arrested. Concerned for him, Wizard appears in front of Orpheus, who is ready for death after having been severely tortured.

(TL Note: Doushi or 導師 officially means “officiating monk”, but it’s often used in different contexts and is hard to describe here, so I just left it in the Japanese.)

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 11 Summary:

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Photo Story) Chapter 11

Kouzuki Kallen and Urabe Kousetsu of the Black Knights are hiding out within the city of Gujarat in northwest India. The mission given to Orpheus this time is to deliver specialized equipment for the Knightmares they use.

We finally get to learn about what Kallen and the others were doing during the timegap! Can't wait!

[Eternal Dreamer]

Alright, here's this month's photo story chapter, featuring the good old Guren Mk-II!

Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 11 Scans:

Not much new information besides about the Blue Barons, who are basically a Britannian special forces unit that was given the task of wiping out the Black Knight remnants. The model images of the Byakuen and Lancelot Grail fighting is basically a re-enactment of their fight in chapter three of the manga.

[Bonzo]

Like I thought, with that robot in the pack the lancelot can stand only with that pillar.
However, all robots for limited edition.

[gordol]

Thanks for the scans, sadly only KMF recolors this month

[Eternal Dreamer]

Here's the summary for this month's manga chapter:

Spoiler for Oz Manga Ch 11 Summary (Extended):

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Manga) Chapter 11

The exhibition match between the Glinda Knights and the Fireballs heats up. The Fireballs’ Sandra, who acted as an older sister to Sokia at the same orphanage, tries to get Sokia to return through the game, but Sokia’s feelings lean towards the Glinda Knights.
During that time, the anti-imperial family terrorist organization, Talleyrand comes to the match and initiates an operation aimed at the imperial family. Marrybell, who had been participating in the game, is also attacked, but escapes trouble thanks to Oldrin. However, there is a marked difference in fighting power between Knightmare used for games and those used for battle…

Spoiler for Oz Manga Ch 12 Summary:

Code Geass: Oz the Reflection (Manga) Chapter 12

The stadium is occupied by anti-imperial family Britannia terrorist group, “Talleyrand’s Children”. Having received the Zetland and Sutherland Eye, Leonhard* and Tink set out to resolve the situation using them.

(*Note: I don't know why it says "Leonhard" when the Sutherland Eye is Sokia's unit, but that's what the text clearly says.)
