In the second season (R2), they mention this term SP many times but I don't
know what it means. Always wondered it's meaning. Does someone know it?

What does SP means in Code Geass?


At the beginning of episode 12 of R2, when Rollo is castigating Sayoko for
doing a poor job as Lelouch's double, the following conversation occurs:

> **Rollo:** それでもくノ一ですか。  
>  **Rollo:** And you call yourself a ninja?
>
> **Sayoko:** 正確には **ＳＰ** です。篠崎流３７代目の―  
>  **Sayoko:** To be precise, I'm an **SP** , the 37th of the Shinozaki line―

So what's an **SP**?

I don't think this is any sort of Code Geass-specific lingo. Given that it's
an acronym, there's a lot of things it could stand for, but by far the most
likely is **security police** (yes, Japanese has borrowed the phrase from
English: セキュリティポリス _sekyuriti porisu_ ). The Japanese "security police" are
sort of like the US's Secret Service - they're bodyguards for important people
(cf. [wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Police_%28Japan%29)).

Given that the Ashfords are (or at least were) an important family of nobles,
it isn't too surprising that they might have a bodyguard on staff, especially
given that they're harboring an exiled prince and princess.
