Anyway, my comment below aside, good to see you back, Dex, and congratulations! :D

Quite interesting parallels you pulled off here. Truthfully, I haven't read or watched Code Geass, but your explanations made it all clear anyway. The similarities are evidently seen XD

Regarding hierarchy, August is technically the leader of all of Spriggan 12, but yeah, from what we've seen, it's hard to say all of them answer to him *looks at Irene*. But still, you're quite correct regarding the exact hierarchy, as we've no idea what rank each specific Spriggan has, let alone if they each of them ever had any (aside from the leader, of course).

You pointed out well the parallel with Jesus and 12 Apostles as well, as that was my comparison I came up with, to be honest, but more in the sense that one of the 12 will end up betraying Zeref, aka Judas of the 12. Note that my view on this is rather quite superficial, as I don't really take into account the motives of such act and the consequences of betrayal; just that, so to say, "core" of the event. Until the latest chapter, my eyes were on Brandish because of her conflict between emotions and duties (something which she expressed long time ago, back when the 12 were still being introduced), and seems so reluctant to fulfill her tasks, thus I thought; Oh well, she'll join FT........but nope, chapter 500 sank that theory of mine ;_; (well partly with the one where her relationship with August is uncovered, but this was the main sinking stone)

Other than that, I only agree with what you said about each Spriggan, as you made it all up to the point, I have to say (not even a silly remark on Brandish, which is saying something here o.O ). So yeah, with that, I believe I have nothing more to add.

As a feedback, this is a pretty cool and interesting post you've made, and I'm certainly looking forward to what you have next in mind! :D
