Actually, I am not sure if the above statement requires a spoiler tag. Could it be we are getting influenced by the amount of spoiler tags in this thread?

EDIT:
Wikipedia Rocks! Check the Knightmare frame link. How do people who edit them get their information? :?

Yeah, I spent mad long reading about the Knightmares and all kinds of shit. Wikipedia may be slightly unreliable when it comes to some things, but its one of my best friends.

R2 doesn't stand for anything. I've personally imagined it to mean Round 2, but it could have a number of meanings. I call the first season R1, because it has the fewest number of letters/numbers. So, R1 instead of "first season", "Season one", or "S1". If there is a third season, it will probably have R3 on the title.

I bet they were going to call it S2, but then they figured R comes before S so it would be cooler that way. That and they decided it would be amusing to spy on the fans as they tried to figure out what the fuck it means.
They're rofling at us right now... you can bet you're bottom dollar on that.

Erm, maybe it means rebellion?
And also, maybe one of you guys is one of the people who have theories: what do you think is C.C's name?

I'm thinking she might have the name of a female in mythology, but from what section of myths, I can't possibly guess. I don't think any of the female names in Norse mythology match her well.

Its definitely not Norse. Considering the themes of the series, if anything I doubt it would stray far from the Matter of Britain. One of the stories in that collection is called "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." There's a lot of names that come up that are used in Code Geass. Arthurian legends are a part of the Matter of Britain, which include the Knights of the Round Table and Lancelot.

I'm thinking it might be Irish mythology. Geass comes from geis, which is kind of an Irish blessing or curse. And if we go by the whole thing of C.C being a witch it works quite well, because it's always the females giving geasa to the men.

Well, that would fall along the lines of the Matter of Britain. Arthurian legend in modern times is commonly linked to Celtic mythology. What stands out is that the timeline of the world in Code Geass diverged from ours around the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. At that point in time the majority of northwestern European culture was Celtic. I wouldn't be surprised if C.C. was a product of some kind of Celtic/Arthurian inspiration.
So far, not surprisingly, all but one of the Knightmares of the Knights of Seven are named after Knights of the Round Table.

I can't really think of any prominent women from Arthurian legends, but I haven't looked into Greek mythology since there is an Odysseus. I just hope that CC's name is not the same as KOS-MOS' true self.

I think that's just a japanese affinty for norse mythology, much like their obsession for writing things in english. Plus, Ragnarök just sounds cool, and it's been used so many times for "end of the world" already, it's one less foreign term for japanese people to have to familiarize themselves with. They could have just as easily said "apocalypse".

Prominent women from Arthurian legend: Guinevere, Morgan Le Fay, and the Lady of the Lake, obviously.
I totally missed when they mentioned Ragnarok, but now that you mention it the Yggdrasil Drives borrow their name from Norse mythology. Yggdrasil is actually a central part of the Ragnarok myth.

Morgan Le Fay seems to be closest name in terms of CC's role in Code Geass.

While I was going through the some things related to Siegfried, I found this: Geats. I'm still looking through shit.

hm... I get the feeling sunrise would go with a more known legend such as King Arthur rather than Beowulf. However, I could be completely wrong.
I love seeing how languages all tie into one another...

Well, Beowulf isn't as well known as King Arthur, but it still is quite popular. We also need to take into account the fact that the existence of the Geats wasn't limited just to that legend. Its just that a lack of written records have left people with very little to go on other than the interpretation found within it.
