"Holy Calendar"

I'm a bit confused with this being referred to as "Holy Calendar" when the Japanese term for this, 皇暦 (Koureki), would be properly translated as "Imperial Calendar". Should "Holy" be kept, or should we change to "Imperial"? Robtf 10:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

holy britannia empire = holy calendar 68.238.83.27 (talk) 06:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

"Holy Calender" would be 聖暦 (Seireki), which is also the name used for Anno Domini in Japanese. Your logic is also ridiculously stupid, considering 神聖ブリタニア帝国 (Shinsei Buritania Teikoku) and 皇暦 (Koureki) share none of the same characters. Robtf (talk) 04:11, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

History Section

In regards to this section i recall (not sure what episode but) a reference to the Queen of England moving to America when the French tried to assassinate her. Hence the growth of the colony. I put it out there so someone else may address it. Savre (talk) 09:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Where exactly does the history come from? I've never seen anything like it anywhere. - Plau (talk) 14:24, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

It comes from one of the sound drama episodes, whitch one I don't know exactly.NobleServent2 (talk) 20:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)NobleServent2

The history stuff comes from the "history lesson" sections of the booklets included with the Region 2 (Japan) DVDs. Robtf (talk) 04:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Rolo's Geass bestowment

Can there be a source cited for when declared of the identity of the Geass individual who gave Rolo his Geass empowerment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.92.40.95 (talk) 03:04, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

"E.U."

The page refers to the E.U. as "European Union".

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/8432/69563294nf0.jpg - According the March 2008 Newtype, released in February, "E.U." in fact stands for Euro Universe (ユーロ・ユニバース) in the context of the Code Geass universe. Yes, it's a stupid name, but unfortunately it's the most correct name we have now. Robtf (talk) 07:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Britanian Control of Indochina

After reading the world section and then looking at the map I'm curious about something. The map shows the INdochina peninsula as aprt of the Chinese federation, yet the article syas it's part of Britania. So is this something that is talked about later in the show (since it's only on episode 7 in America), or is it something from one of the other mediums (IE manga)?

-IkonicDeath —Preceding comment was added at 08:40, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The colony in Indochina is mentioned in the official novel Stage 0: Entrance, which is canon as far as we know. The map on the page is never explicitly stated to show all areas currently under Britannian control. In fact, Area 18 is still flagged in green, when it should be in red.

Ah, ok, just wanted to check. Thanks.

The United STATE of Japan?

Isn't it the United STATES of Japan? NinjaRooster (talk) 08:04, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

If there were in fact more than one state, or if Lelouch at some point decides that Japan should be divided into an alliance of independent regions each capable of self-governance under a federal central government, then yes, "states" would thereafter be appropriate. That's not presently the case.

Technically speaking, the term translated as "United State" is only given this translation because it is a title attributed to the realworld USA in Japanese; a more literal translation that ignores this is "republic."

Purist Faction

I heard it being mentioned at "Pure-blood" in Episode 5 of the Dub? But correct me if I'm wrong. - Plau (talk) 17:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

The dub has thus far been notable primarily for having Kallen call herself "this bad mother." And "purist" happens to be real term. If you want to be technical about it, the Japanese is best translated as "blood-purist faction" or "pureblood faction." Get rid of the "faction," and it ceases to be an accurate translation at all.

-- Fallacies (talk) 17:23, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Then I guess "Purist" is the most fitting. - Plau (talk) 17:33, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Berthier Film

I don't think Peltier is correct. Lakshata says ベルチェ, which is Berthier, as in the Berthierite mineral.

Schneizel (talk) 04:07, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Since you're not going to believe it if I outright tell you that you're wrong, do a Google search on 超ペルチェフィルム. Then do a Google search on 超ベルチェフィルム. That besides, refer to the article on Peltier devices and tell me what you see. Lakshata mispronounced. We'll talk if after all that you still insist on creating a nonexistent term for a cooling device made from Berthierite.

-- Fallacies (talk) 04:41, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Common sense would dictate Peltier is what she meant. One makes sense, the other doesn't, and both sound fairly similar when pronounced by someone with a Japanese accent. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 04:59, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

To correct myself slightly, ベルチェ is apparently a common mispronunciation of Peltier in Japanese. However, that doesn't make Berthier a correct translation in English.

Electromagnetic guns?

but the guns shown in Code Geass, particularly Euphienator's rifle, do have a muzzle flash, like gunpowder firearms! And the final shot that ends the first season is a gunshot, not a whooosh! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.113.32.38 (talk) 14:09, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Refer to the DVD 01 Liner Booklet.

Heeey, they contradict themselves! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.113.32.38 (talk) 15:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

There is no reason for it to be a whoosh because you would hear the boom from the bullet breaking the sound barrier. Plus the flash could quite easily be the electricity hitting the sakuradite.
