Since you link trying to insert real-world comparisons, I'll put it this way: if someone blew up Sacramento, would California's economy fall apart? No. It would have a rough time, but it would stabilize. Same goes for Japan for the loss of a single, Britannian-populated city center.

Sakuradite is a valuable resource, and having the world's largest supply means everyone will be buying from them for the most part. It's a cash cow, regardless of how it's used politically. You're trying to make it into something sinister when it only becomes that through other means. What it is at its base level never changes.

Japan's infrastructure is not shattered, as Lelouch so elegantly explains in Stage 9. In fact, Britannia has left it better off than it ever was. You assume too little of the Japanese. Japanese people run the sakuradite mines, Japanese people can become Honorary Britannians and get semi-decent jobs, etc. They're not idiots.

Again you assume the worst of everything with absolutely no evidence to back it up, just to satisfy your desire to see the Code Geass world go to hell in a handbasket.

The richest people in California don't live in Sacremento, also the wealth in California is spread out quite well between San Francisco, Beverly Hills, and Los Angelos. The wealth in Japan was centered in the Kyoto group (most of their wealth would have been taken away due to the Black Knights rebellion), and the Britannians (all fled or dead)

I am not trying to see the world of Code Geass go into hell in a handbasket, it was blatantly stated by Okuchi that Lelouch didn't magically save the world , he just got rid of the corruption in Britannia and ended the war.

Its going to take a long road to recovery

Why the hell did we start arguin anyway?

Oh good lord we are arguing over a joke

And again, you have no source for this supposed wealth distribution in Code Geass. You merely assume it must be centered around the government complex. Japan's a big place, and the Britannian's don't exclusively live in the one settlement. Even if we were to assume they did, then it's not a big deal obviously, or rebuilding wouldn't come so quickly.

Also, Okouchi's quote refers to peace, not economy. Don't try to twist his words to suit your argument. Japan, from what little we see of it, is quite obviously doing just fine under Ohgi's administration, so quit trying to make out like the country is going to fall apart when it's never shown to be anywhere close.

Why would Britannian's remain in Japan? The priveledge they had is gone, since Japan is now free.

I also think Economy and peace go hand in hand, I just don't think Oukochi was talking about peace, I think he was talking about rebuilding the world. That was one of the themes of the second series Reconstruction.

One word: Milly. Just because Japan is free doesn't mean they'd be unwilling to harbor any Britannians who wished to stay.

Not really. Code Geass hasn't had much of an issue with economy, nor would it now that everyone's getting along.

This and the last question on the first page of Okouchi's interview clearly says who is alive and who is not.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your effort in the translation considering the fact that I'm not able to understand it and someone is willing to translate. I'm most willing to provide the scans for your effort and sharing the information with us. I'm looking forward to more of your translation.

I believe the ending of Lelouch using his own life to achieve Zero Requiem has to be the better ending than he being the L.L, the cartman living with C.C happily ever after. That will cheapen his sacrifice. That's just my own opinion.

Fantastic!

Milly can start Britannian in Japan club with Villeta.

Considering the protrayal of Britannians especially in the first season i see no reason why the ones that fled would want to come back. Their priveledges are gone, their servants won't want to work in the same conditions, and they can no longer feel superior.

Believe it or not all Britannians are not racist. In fact most that remain in Japan likely aren't.

Yes, but a large amount are though, when one of the nicer members of Britannia is Cornelia you have a problem and the second part goes without saying. If you hate Japanese your not likely to stay in Japan.

Quick question that popped into my head, today. It was said the Schneizel is the one who removed Marianne's remains after her murder, right? Did anything ever come of that, or was it just another red herring in the course of the series that never really went anywhere? (I swear, this series is full of ideas that would have been so interesting if they had actually decided to flesh them out.)

It was a red herring. Only thing that ever came from it was from Charles right before he was vaporized by the World of C. (He only said he made Schneizel move the body when Lelouch confronted him)

I agree with you that there is so much left they could do. Someone has already said it, Code geass is not dead, But lelouch of the rebellion is. Theres no reason the world of Code geass should come to a end as well as it was. No lelouch doesn't have to come back in some way, he can stay dead just be nice to clear it so we don't keep thinking he is still alive becuase he has the code, or something like that. But I really think there so much more to the world of code geass and Im sure someday we will get. It would be a shame to just let it die with lelouch.

One thought that came into mind about C.C.'s and V.V.'s psuedonyms being C.C. and V.V.. Does someone who have the Code get to have two letters as their new name or did that just come with their immortality?

Well seeing the anime atleast once all the way though, thats the idea that I got. If some how Lelouch had the code i guess he would go by L.L.

Unless the code-names are a repetition of the Code user's first name, I think it probably has got nothing to do with their real names. For example, V.V.'s surname is "zi Britannia" and there's no V there. Actually, I'm quite sure the code-names have got nothing to do with their first names either, because then Charles would have been C.C. as well.

My guess is the Code is inherited along with the code-name. For example, the Sister was the previous C.C., and Charles was the new V.V..

Actually, some translations have his name as vi Britannia, so it could have to do with his original name. Also, in Japanese, Lelouch's initials would be more akin to R.R. than L.L.

The last time I saw Charles' surname romanised, it was "zi Britannia" (it was in Koshimizu's blog, I think). I'm quite sure the only ones with "vi Britannia" as surname are Marianne, Lelouch and Nunnally.

Here is a fun assumption:

Considering that Code Geass could now be considered as two different season versions:

Code Geass: Stages 1-25

Code Geass R2: Turns 1-25


Which continuation would you like to see:

Code Geass: Stage 26, which was to have been the original start of R2, but would be considered as the new continuation of the original first season format that is set in an alternate universe.

Code Geass R2: Turn 26, life after Lelouch.

What continuation I'd like to see is you stopping whining like a little pissant about how everything didn't go the way you wanted it to just because Milly didn't hook up with her squeeze.

Check the name-tag:
Spoiler:
I think that might actually be "Lulu". After the L it doesn't look like (.)dots. They are longer.

I zoomed in and examined the name tag closely. (It's fun having photo editing software that can zoom in and enhance.)
When I examine it closer to could just be a small scribble of "Lelouch".
