Finished watching Code Geass for the first time yesterday (took zero spoilers so thoroughly enjoyed the show).

Shirley's death was one of the most hard-hitting moments in the show for me. Still feels sad thinking about it.

Lelouch killed her father and she wanted to hate him for it, but she still kept loving him.

She shoots Villetta gravely harming her (goes so against her character). She did it to keep Lelouch safe as her love for him overwhelms other emotions of her.

She then wanted to die with him to have both of them atone for their sins.

Lelouch erases her memories to ease her from the burden of her sins, and to keep her away from this mess.

Then the scene of them talking about the ones they lost (while that beautiful OST plays in the background). Lelouch describes what Shirley was for him, to Shirley who has lost her memories of him. Lelouch thanks her for everything she has done for him. He prepares himself to move over her.

She naturally falls in love with him all over again even after losing her original memories.

She finds the truth of him manipulating her memories, all that trauma hits her again causing severe confusion and pain to her.

She feels some ease after seeing Lelouch jumping down the roof risking his life, all to save her from dying.

She talks to Rolo and finds her mind at ease knowing Rolo is on Lelouch's side.

She gets gravely wounded as she was chasing after Lelouch to confront him about the truth and to protect him.

She still keeps loving him even after all this while coming to her tragic end.

No matter what he does, no matter the sin he commits, she will forgive him in the end.

No matter how many times she is reborn, she will keep falling in love with Lelouch.

She wanted to be someone who is truthful to him in his lonely world of lies. Someone he can find himself at ease with, someone from whom he doesn't have to hide things from, all to ease his sufferings.

The OST playing in the background. Crying Lelouch repeatedly commands her, begs her to not die. She dies in his arms confessing the true depth of her love to him and then that painful scream from Lelouch 😢.

Finally the beautiful ending song plays where we see the art of her happily ascending to heaven in a beautiful white dress, as she happily died in the arms of the person she unconditonally loved, while confessing that love of hers to him.

Lelouch lost someone who loved him unconditionally. One of the very few people who embraced his human side so much. All due to his lies, manipulation & his power of Geass.

Her death led him to assault the Geass Directorate to end the curse of Geass.

One of the most well done emoitonal scenes I have ever seen 👏.

A simple but really heartbreaking scene (better than the movie) of Kallen crying over Lelouch after watching him perish during Zero Requiem. One can argue Lelouch, despite being catatonic, deep down thinks Kallen is familiar and is trying to remember who she was to him.

Where he rageful brutally beats the vicious, vile, and despicable son of a corrupt nobleman for, the kidnapping, the sexual assault and rape of a poor little girl.

I finished the original show and I only threw resurrection in there as a bonus, I know most people in this community probably want code geass to escape lelouch's shadow and focus less on him, i understand that, I do think him staying dead was preferable in the original show but since it is the 20th aniversary pretty much, what ideas would you do for a show if lelouch still had to be a factor

And a sub note/question, do we think star chaser will be good???

They take a tour around a recent mass murder site like they’re on vacation, badmouth several grieving people after they call them out on it, and then get mad when one such person doesn’t fucking MURDER them all over a CAMERA. Obviously most of the Britannians are racist pieces of shit, but these two took it to a whole other level. Thank God Euphemia literally slapped them into submission.

Im watching resurrection and oh my god why is Shirley alive. I came here to find out about that, instead everyone is glazing her. Why? Im a detective conan fan it's like I already watched 1000 episodes of her because her and ran are the exact same (and orihime but I love her). Idc what y'all say it is unrealistic to be that obsessed with a highschool crush. Kallen and C.C are better representations of how a girl acts about her crush. Anyways the archetype is annoying it's like the fat creepy otaku archetype but instead it's a cute girl so the main audience eats it up.

biggest slap in the face ever

rip [Knight of Eleven] Kallen you deserve so much better

An idea I came up with at 1 am and decided to make today.

I have wanted to watch Code Geass for years and finally got around to it. Then I got to episode 22. The Euphemia situation has made me so sad that I almost want to quit watching. Should I go on?

Sorry…Reddit always kills my quality

Hey, hope this is allowed here! I'm going to this exhibition in Japan soon, and I'm already going to be picking up merchandise as it is, so I wanted to check if anyone here would be interested aswell! If so, let me know, and I can provide all of the merchandise pictures, prices, and ordering details! I also have 200+ sales proofs if needed!

So, let's start with the Panzer-Hummel (Mk3-E2E8). Aside from the obvious visual differences—which can still be explained away by the shift from hand-drawn 2D animation to 3D CGI—these models also have noticeably different armaments and internal specs. Granted, if you really want to, even this can be attributed to regional variants and modifications within the EU military. However, looking closer at the official specs raises some unavoidable questions about its construction, tech progression, and actual combat deployment.

First, there is the issue of reverse tech progression on the main guns. In Akito (set in 2017 a.t.b.), the Panzer-Hummel is armed with two forearm-mounted Linear Rail Cannons. Yet in R2 (2018 a.t.b.), those exact same slots are fitted with conventional auto-cannons. Apparently, somewhere during the war with Britannia, EU engineers decided to downgrade from railguns back to standard ballistic cannons.
On top of that, the Akito version completely loses its close-defense capabilities while having its missile loadout redesigned. The original R2 unit carries two hip-mounted machine guns for point defense and two 3-tube chest missile pods (6 smaller missiles total). In Akito, the machine guns are entirely gone, and the missile launchers are moved down to the hips right in their place. While reduced to 2-tube launchers (4 missiles total), these hip-mounted tubes appear noticeably larger in caliber than the chest pods of the original. This means the unit was stripped of rapid-fire close-defense weapons and had its torso layout re-engineered—yet both versions somehow share the exact same model number (Mk3-E2E8), height (4.10m), and combat weight down to the hundredth of a ton (8.79 tons).
Finally, there is the paradox of its sensors. According to the original lore, the Panzer-Hummel's signature dual-head design was a clumsy workaround because the EU lacked Britannia's Factsphere sensor technology. In Akito, it still retains the dual heads (with the visors changed from horizontal to vertical), yet its official specs state that it actually has Factspheres. Why keep the awkward dual-head layout if you already have the sensors?
At this point, it looks less like "regional field modifications" of the same mass-produced unit and more like two different engineering philosophies from two parallel timelines.

The discrepancies also extend to the military uniforms. In the original series, the EU army wears a sleek, modern grey-and-black uniform with no belts and a rather unconventional shirt design. In Akito, however, the uniform suddenly shifts to a tailored, "Hugo Boss-style" dress coat in a blue-and-red, distinctly "French" color scheme. You could try to rationalize this by claiming that the Europia United forces are made up of separate national armies—except in Akito, we are shown a pan-European offensive near Warsaw against Euro Britannia. Logically, a massive front-line force operating in Poland should consist primarily of Polish troops, their immediate neighbors, and likely German divisions, yet the entire army is uniformly dressed in this "French" style. Even more tellingly, when R2 shows the EU fighting Britannia on the Coast Front just a year later, everyone is suddenly in the grey-and-black uniforms.

The contradictions get even harder to ignore when you look at the geography and the political timeline of the EU. In Akito (2017), Euro Britannia is portrayed as a massive, autonomous military superpower that already controls all of Eastern Europe—with its capital in Saint Petersburg—and is actively clashing with the EU over Warsaw. Yet in R2 (2018), the term "Euro Britannia" doesn't even exist and Britannia's actual invasion of Europe is depicted as a fresh, devastating blitzkrieg from the west led by Schneizel and the Knights of the Round.

Anyway, you can certainly do the mental gymnastics and try to justify every single inconsistency with certain "circumstances," but in my opinion—especially now that the multiverse is officially a thing—it’s much easier to just accept that Akito is a separate world from the original CG, even if some elements and characters overlap between the two...

So, if Genesic Re;CODE is now part of the Lost Stories game multiverse, does that mean we can expect the alternate route from Code Geass DS to become game-canon too? And what about the OG of it all—Lost Colors—especially since Nonette and the Club are present now, hinting at Rai’s Britannian route? That game has plenty of branching paths for alt-worlds too—are those also being "pruned by some observer"?

...Actually, that's a weird point—does it mean there are several separate CG worlds, each with its own assigned observer? If so, is "Akito" some kind of separate world too, since it has its own entity (Caretaker of Spacetime)... But she's connected to Ar—so what's the deal with that?.. And again, what about worlds with much more drastic differences, like Nightmare of Nunnally—do those have alternate timelines that got pruned as well?

After seing the last movie of Gundam, i wonder how Code Geass they could received as well the idea of retelling of the story wih the addition of a new character designs or a new expanded story using a similar direction of what they do in the films.

Besides many of the themes are very similar of they handled rebel groups against of a common enemy (Federation/ Brittania), in the case of the battle scenes with the 3CDGI i believe they could get a solid direction if maybe Shuko Murase could handled a Code Geass series or either movie, after all he did well on the last movie.
