Lelouch: No.

Suzaku: So sharping knives at three in the morning is just a hobby?

Cecile: Making breakfast for my handsome supervisor... Lloyd: Who the hell is burning up my kitchen?

I felt like drawing Lelouch again but with dramatic lighting because it suits him. This is sorta different from my usual artworks since I tend work with more softer tones, but I absolutely love how this turned out.

Lelouch and Shirley went to see a movie.

Lelouch : [as "The Count of Monte Cristo" ends] Did you like it?

Shirley : Yeah. But it made me feel sorry for Mercedes.

Lelouch : Why ?

Shirley : Because he cared more about revenge than he did about her.

A Collection of Code Geass Season 1 Informations from Various Sources and Interviews // Canon

I've reunited in there all of the various information I couldn't fit into full fleshed out post and only kept the one with sources (that mostly came for Celiss Galvea Geass legacy), that were mentionned in various corner of the web, so there might be some missing as I don't want to share rumors/unconfirmed material. You'll be able to find the same similar Collection for R2 right there.

The title “Code Geass” was a fairly last-minute decision (the tentative title was “Lelouch of the Rebellion”) The production team were in a panic over the lack of a proper title; “We need a title to design the title logo!” etc. (ura de net geass!)

An 8 hour meeting was held to determine C.C.’s name and real identity. Supposedly none of the participants ate or drank throughout the whole thing (Okouchi: “Give me something to eat!”) According to Yoshino, whenever he thought the meeting was about to come to an end, someone would start up again and the meeting would continue with no end in sight. XD . (ura de net geass)

The hero wasn't meant to be an anti hero like Lelouch, but an ace pilot, just like in most anime from SUNRISE (Taniguchi/Okouchi Interview)

At first Lelouch had white hair, Shirley had blue hair and the Ashford uniform was red, that's why some old school scans show the characters with those colors.

Kallen's first name was Akira, then Kallen (Mutuality Artbook)

C.C. had a name during the creation phase, it was Sera, but nothing says it stayed the same, in Stage 11, Jun Fukuyama, Lelouch's voice actor actually spoke her real name but they decided to cut his voice during the montage. (Mutuality Artbook + DVD commentary) Yukana's voice work profile also used to say the name of her character in Geass was "Sera/Cera."

There was a classement of the boobies size of the girls of the anime which went out in a magazine and you'd be glad to learn that Milly has the biggest boobs of them all ; Lelouch's mother is a close second and Kallen takes the third spot. (Newtype)

Lelouch's line in Stage 14 when he erases Shirley's memories "if there is another life…" was supposed to end up like that "…let us be lovers" but it was eventually cut out. (Shirley gave the full line in the best phrase award session stage 14 to 25 of the first DVD of season 1)

When asked about a possible romance between Lelouch and C.C.,(During S1) Taniguchi said that for that to happen, Lelouch would need to see C.C. as a human being, for he was currently seeing her as some kind of alien (That's why he was about to take a blood sample in Stage 11) (Newtype interview)

About romance, Taniguchi said there would be romantic devellopment for Lelouch in season 2 and that it was left out of season 1 to focus more on Lelouch's goals (destroy Britannia, happy world for Nunnally) and him setting up his rebellion to avoid complicating matters (pash ! interview )

Kallen's story was moved to R2 when it was announced they'd be getting a season 2, that's why she became less present within the second half of season 1 (Fake Okouchi interview)

Suzaku isn't a virgin and is said to be experienced, but we don't know who the lucky girl was ; We know his first love was an older woman, that's probably why he had some form of relationship with Cecile, even if she'll be more of a big sister than a lady mama for him eventually. (Commentary DVD of Turn 19)

Zero was meant to kiss Kallen at the end of the first season to give her courage and determination after being shaken up; she was meant to remember the scene during a fight, but the kiss was removed because Season 2 was coming and a lot of arrangments had to be made around Stage 20 (Megami Magazine /Fake Okouchi)

Kallen doesnt know how to cook, if she tries to make bread, it will turn into ashes; (Kallen's character information given to her seiyuu, Ami Koshimizu)

Jeremiah was meant to die at the beginning of season 1 but he had so much popularity within the staff (and in 2ch) that they chose to bring him back to life. Twice. (Taniguchi interview)

Zero was one of the first character to be created, Okouchi wanted a masked man because a Sunrise anime without a masked man didn't seemed right (Taniguchi x Okhawa Interview)

In case the sequel wasn’t greenlighted (they already received the OK for it back in December 2007 at least), they had an alternative route prepared for the story to take, one which would have ended the story in episode 23. It would have been a non-conclusive ending though; according to Taniguchi it was more of a “psychological” ending for Lelouch like the Evangelion Ending (Taniguchi Interview)

Kawaguchi said Lelouch had Euphemia phone number on his phone because they certainly exchanged their numbers when they met on the deserted Island. (Ura de net Geass)

Mao’s repetitive clapping didn’t exist in the scripting stages; Taniguchi was the one who later added it to make him “more annoying”. (Ura de Net Geass)

Originally, Toudou was supposed to join Lelouch’s side much earlier. They talked about the Diethard and Toudou shot in the ED. All were baffled by it; Conclusion: “Only Taniguchi knows.” (Ura de Net Geass)

Stage 19 was written by Yoshino ; supposedly he requested to do it, saying “Oh well, if (Okouchi) wants me to write a script, I might as well do the island arc.” (he’s more or less the fanservice supervisor for this show) According to him (and the Newtype Taniguchi + Fu-kuyama interview), this was how Lelouch’s trap was supposed to work: Lelouch successfully digs a proper hole –> However, a boar appears behind him –> Lelouch tries to Geass it: “Lelouch Vi Britannia orders you to SIT!” –> Geass doesn’t work on animals –> Lulu Quality Tragedy ; However, Taniguchi changed it all, telling Yoshino: “Well, in the first place, Lelouch isn’t capable of digging such a hole…” (Ura de net Geass)

The reason why the writers made Kallen stand on Gawain’s shoulder instead of getting into the two-seater cockpit with Lelouch in Stage 19: “There’s no way Kallen will hand over the 2nd-pilot position to anyone else once she’s in there.” Good point. (Ura de Net Geass)

According to Tanaka, right after the airing of Stage 22, three of his friends rang him up asking “What the hell was that? I need to know what happens next!” etc...; According to Kawaguchi, “some of the viewers may have been satisfied with the handshake in episode 22, but actually, a lot more people would have been upset…” (Ura de net Geass)

After episode 23, the production team received letters from fans saying “Okouchi is so evil”, “Dark Okouchi” etc, and he didn't liked that (Ura de Net Geass)

Discarded Season 1 plotlines :

Kallen's father was first hinted as being someone important by Okouchi, when he claimed his occupation couldn't be revealed back in March 2007 (Okouchi 28 questions interview from Animage)

Suzaku was meant to have an unrequited love, and it was hinted as being an important subplot back in the day ; The hints strongly pointed at Nunnally. (Fake Okouchi)

Suzaku was meant to be linked to Geass, that's why he reacted to C.C. and to the ruins in Kamine Island, in relation to his superhuman abilities; He didn't had a Geass though (perfect Stage Mook Interview)

Cecile's seiyuu said her character had a "painful sibling relationship" in the past, and she was allowed to reveal that because it wasn't going to appear anymore within the show. Cecile's relationship to Suzaku was basically discarded) A scene with Suzaku was also seemingly cut out from Stage 20 (Magazine preview back in S1.) * What happened to Naoto (Kallen's brother) ; The writers considered bringing him back but then couldn't find a place and decided to let him stay dead (Audio commentary Stage 4 + perfect Stage mook interview)

That's about it for the various miscellanous information I could find for the first season; Now that I have gotten several of those magazines, expect more full blown articles from those whenever I'll have more time.

Hope you enjoyed.

So! I know there's at least a few folks speculating on what additions will be included in Super Robot Wars Y's roster, but I think it would be interesting if a little methodology is applied to the process, like compiling data from akurasu.net into a mini-chart like the one below:

"Units Sans Series" means playable units not tied to an already existing storyline, either because the series is set post-epilogue (like Combattler V or Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam in SRW 30) or because the source has no storyline (like Mazinkaiser Infinitism in SRW 30).

I have not included data from the mobile games DD or X-Ω since they'd act as an outlier, but it should be noted that both games have debuted series that haven't been featured on consoles yet.

Based on the data from past series, there's a few trends from past iterations of the series that I think should be taken into consideration when making speculations:

The company that makes Super Robot Wars is a subsidiary of Bandai-Namco, and as far as I'm aware, that means they don't have to pay licensing fees to use Bandai-Namco's IP; as we can see from the graph above, every game (except maybe Z3.1?) has at least a plurality, if not outright majority, of B-N titles, and Y's roster continues this practice with half of it's currently announced titles: two Gundam series, a Code Geass film, and Aura Battler Dunbine.

Series debuts tend to be limited compared to returning series, but once a series has been introduced in a previous title, the development of gaming assets for that series means it's now cheaper to include it again at some point, barring licensing fees and other factors. The fact that Getter Robo Arc and Macross Delta The Movie: Passionate Walküre, for example, were previously introduced in mobile games means their assets could be refined from already existing material rather than made out of whole cloth.

Given the total series listed for previous games, we can probably expect the roster for Y to at least double. However, the number of entries can be deceptive: in previous games like SRW V, for example, Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam, Full Metal Panic!, and the Rebuild of Eva films were counted as 3 or more entries each due to how their media is formatted, despite being a single storyline, and in SRW 30, Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) is counted despite its only contribution being a recreation of the RX-78-2 Gundam as Amuro Ray's starter unit and a single mission to Jaburo that involved fighting Z'Goks. This means Y could potentially include 'additional' series like Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury Season 2, Macross Delta the Movie: Absolute Live!!!!!!, or other Code Geass films, or even side stories like Revenge of J Gundam or Vanadis Heart.

Every non-OG SRW game has included a Mazinger Z-related entry, and the only one that didn't include Koji Kabuto was SRW UX, which had Mazinkaiser SKL.

Not included in the data from akurasu.net, it should also be noted that series will sometimes get included as a result of various X-factors, such as the cross-promotion of a sequel or a new toyline, or as part of a business deal with another company. For example, Studio Khara, which made the Rebuild of Eva films, has been collaborating with Bandai on Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX for several years now. It's extremely improbable that GQuuuuuuX would be included since, as of this writing, it hasn't premiered yet, but the last Eva film Thrice Upon a Time was completed back in 2021, and while it was too late to include in 30, the current working corporate relationship could be a factor in it getting included in Y. Another possibility might be the film Expelled from Paradise, which was previously introduced in SRW T, and has had a sequel announced for 2026.

One last note, there's been an interest in cultivating an international audience for Super Robot Wars for sometime, with V, X, and T receiving English translations despite not being officially released in regions like North America, and series like Cowboy Bebop being included in T specifically to cater to a potential U.S. audience. Titles that were more popular outside of Japan like The Vision of Escaflowne or The Big O or the like could be potentially included for that reason.

I don't know that these are actual rules that the company applies or anything, but previous patterns can be useful when predicting the future, so I think it's worth looking at.

Thank you for reading, and I would enjoy hearing feedback, especially from @anthurak, @rdmaaron, @possessedscholar, @589ish, or anyone else who's pretty knowledgeable about Super Robot Wars.

Devlog # 137

Hi-ho, Wudge here.

I spent the day working on (hopefully) final concept art for the mysterious Myster, a love interest who will be introduced in the next demo. ... I can't promise he'll show up in person, but you should be able to talk to him!

I've been working on both his heroic and his civilian design for more than three!! years!!!

His hero suit was inspired by: Lelouch/Zero Code Geass, Berzerker Fate/Zero, Zer0 Borderlands 2, and a set of scifi League skins. ... Weird that the first three sources all use the word "zero" somewhere but that's not the focus of our devlog today.

I've also started working on some sprite expressions for Griffin - not ready to show those off just yet but they're coming along, here's a sketch page I made before transitioning to digital art -

I wrote a decent amount, I believe somewhere over 600 words including some important variable-based scenes and menu choices... I'm pretty sure I started coding in and formatting that scene while I was at it.

I also BACKED UP MY FILES somehow I hadn't backed up my files for months!!! I guess I let that get away from me after the demo came out, but I definitely had to get back into the practice.

And uh... that's it for now!

Stay safe and keep warm,

Wudge.
