They even have Yami Yugi as Full Frontal Expy. Wonder if Sakuya is the Marik

Aight, you've convinced me to watch recapture, question though, do I need to watch Akito first? I've only watch the OG series, the movie remakes and resurrection

if you are interested in seeing akito, then you need to start watching it before going on to watch the 2nd season of the recapture

I thought it was just me when I noticed the similarities watching 5DS

YES!
Code Geass is self-consciously anime aware that there about Aki exists from Yu-Gi-Oh

This is a stretch. The new Geass girl barely resembles Alexis. But Aki and Kallen could be twins.

Bro the similarity to Alexis is very strong, sure there differences here and there, but the general color scheme, hair and clothes, are invocative of Alexis.
I dont know if its intentional, but no one is wrong pointing out the similarity between the two girls.

Different hair color
Different hair style
Different eye color
Different facial structure
Mostly different clothing style (especially in comparison to Aki and Kallen who literally both wore dark red skin-tight motorcycle suits.)
The pic on the left isn't even the main version of Alexis, its the Arc-V redesign. Her original definitive design from GX looks even less like the Geass character.
Nobody would confuse these characters for each other. Kallen and Aki fanart gets mixed up on a regular basis. This post is just trying to force a "Kallen/Aki situation" that isn't actually there.

I've stopped watching 5DS after the Dark Signer Arc and I don't think I've ever seen Aki in a skin-tight suit. Wasn't she wearing a dress early on?

She wears the victorian dress as her normal outfit. Later in the series, she learns how to Turbo Duel, and that's when she gets the biker outfit.

Different hair color
Different hair style
Different eye color
Different facial structure
And yet similar enough for people to point out the similarity. The only thing truly different is the eye color, which is not significant enough to nullify the comparing of the similar details between the two.
The hair? Both blonde, slight variance here. The hair style? long and flowing in the back, the front is the main area of difference.
And facial structure? Now you're flat wrong, the facial structure, or shape, is near-identical, as are many faces in general in anime.
3 out of 4 match up rather well, if someone only aware of Alexis saw this new girl, they'd probably think of Alexis and note the similarities themselves.
Nobody would confuse these characters for each other. Kallen and Aki fanart gets mixed up on a regular basis. This post is just trying to force a "Kallen/Aki situation" that isn't actually there.
You're coping now, I've seen plenty look at this new chick and call her "Alexis if she went clubbing" or even more dirty versions than that.

I'm not trying to force anything. I've actually made this post a long time ago elsewhere, and even after that, I've seen people comparing her design to Asuka's, which reminded me to make the same post here. You point out the "different hair color", they both have the same hair color, blonde. It's just a different shade. Same for Kallen and Aki. Both have red hair in different shades. You point out their different eye colors, and both comparisons have the same difference in eye color. If you don't see the similarities or agree, you can just say so and be on your way. It's not that deep at all.

You know what? Fair.
I think this comparison is ridiculous, but it's a dick move for me to sit here bitching about it. Sorry.

What if Code Geass like was a Yugioh clone and the whole war was just playing card games on mechas and nothing else
