Who are you? What are you?
Can you say it clearly with that mouth?
You’re a clown who only bluffs inside of the cage you were given

The sun continues to shine today, too
The blueness of those waves is beautiful as usual
The sky and the sea don’t know
That you’re not around anymore
In Jan. ’09 issue of Animage, there’s a short segment from Kimura (character designer) about random Code Geass R2 stuff.
Number of eyes
– Lelouch’s emperor outfit, including the cape and hat, has a total of 12 eye-jewel things.
– Suzaku’s Knight of Zero outfit, including gloves, has a total of 17 eye-jewel things, so Suzaku wins…
– However, if you add the eye-jewels (6) on Lelouch’s fugly sword, Lelouch has a grand total of 18 eye-jewels, so he wins after all (?).
From Continue Vol.42, a translation of official information regarding the events in Lelouch’s life.
Lelouch’s Lifetime
– 1962 a.t.b/Britannia
Emperor Charles vi [sic] Britannia of the Holy Empire of Britannia makes a promise with his older twin brother V.V.
Knight of Honor, Marianne the Flash, becomes an imperial consort.
The Code Geass spread from the November 2008 issue of Newtype caught my eye, specifically this one:
Link to scan on Moe Imouto, credits to the user. I’ll try to get my own scan up sometime soon.
The text reads:
September 28th, ’08. The story of “Code Geass”, spanning roughly two years—Lelouch’s rebellion met its finale.
Lelouch, who plotted rebellion against his first love, friends, father, mother, and God, offered his own life to become a tyrant emperor.
The mask of Zero that Lelouch wore was succeeded by his one and only friend, Suzaku, for him to become the world’s savior.
His father yearned for the “past”, his brother insisted on “today”. However, Lelouch wished for “tomorrow”.
Believing in not the past or today, but the “tomorrow” that has yet to be seen.
Now that everything is over, has Lelouch fallen into deep slumber? In eternal rest that the ageless and immortal witch watches over.
From the present to the future. From an instant to perpetuity. Will the story be passed down?
The Resting Place of the Rebellion
Requiem
The tyrant emperor Lelouch gained F.L.E.I.J.A. and ruled the world. When the hatred and anger all over the world were focused on him, he played his final hand. It was the Zero Requiem. In a parade, just like a year ago, Zero, the masked man, appeared in front of the masses. Then he thrust a sword through Lelouch. The tyrant emperor fell and Zero became a hero again. Those who knew Lelouch and Zero’s thoughts shed tears and those who were ignorant cheered. The world is aiming for tomorrow. That was Lelouch’s final wish.
Yep, rest in peace, Lelouch-kun…

Even just with that single droplet
I just might be able to protect the flower
It’s your smiling face, and with that alone
I can even reach out my hands
If you gather up those trembling voices
You just might be able to start a wind
Light the fleeting glow known as your life
And move your feet forward
I, Will Become a Bird.

Lullaby of M
Vocals: Hitomi
Lyrics: Kuroishi Hitomi
Composition: Kuroishi Hitomi

Let me hear the lullaby that you sang when I was a child
That voice sounds tender as if I’m having a blissful dream
Because even if sad things happen, even if bitter things happen
Everything will turn into the past someday

Lyrics: Kuroishi Hitomi
Composition: Nakano Sadahiro
Arrangement: Nakano Sadahiro
I can live all alone
Without feeling a thing, or so I thought
I received all of the kindness there was
Until I learned of suffering
Hahah, oh ALI PROJECT. Once you’ve heard one of their songs, you’ve heard them all. Just take the Code Geass 1st ending theme, play it backwards, and you’ve got the 2nd ending theme to Code Geass R2. I don’t need to post anything new.
My Elegant Flower of Evil
Vocals: ALI PROJECT
The corrupt world is a monster; “What is justice?”
Struggle against it before you ask that, oh wicked flower
I give an eye for an eye when I gaze to a hypocritical dream
There’s no such thing as being able to distinguish between life and evil

The light that was born at the world’s end is now in the wind

I can’t heal just by kindness
Happiness Tone
Vocals: ORANGE RANGE
Lyrics: ORANGE RANGE
Composition: ORANGE RANGE
I’ll try gathering up the pieces of happiness that I picked up some other time in my chest
A melody that I started to forget about is right in the middle of me, unfading
While I was searching through borrowed comic books, from time to time I found faded anthologies
It was me who laughed out loud like an idiot at stuff like “seize the world”
During the days when I seized not the world but the hanging strap on the train
While smiling and saying, “I’m sorry,” to me back then, you lowered your head
CONNECT
Vocals: Yukana as C.C.
Lyrics: Kuroishi Hitomi
Composition: Kuroishi Hitomi
Arrangement: Kuroishi Hitomi
You can’t see ahead, you can’t read tomorrow
Your face from the side looks distressed
Searching for the answer, your heart is withering
You hide your weakness, too
