The Code Geass King Lelouch has been officially revived but how? So what's up
guys Foxen here the Code Geass movie Lelouch of the resurrection has
officially been released in Japan. I just had a good long conversation with a
friend in Japan and I'm kind of jelly. Spoilers have been coming out all this
weekend about this movie and I've been able to verify some of this stuff so far.
I was not fortunate enough to be in Japan. Let me go ahead and give you a
summary in highlights starting off with how exactly Lelouch got revived! by the
way please do me the favor and like the video and subscribe more juicy anime
videos are coming. Alright so the actual setup for this code geass movie like you
seen in the various trailers you got Nunnally getting ambushed in this trip to
the desert which happens in the first few minutes of the movie. You see Suzaku
as Zero fighting the new so-called geass user Chario which I'm gonna get back to
him. Unfortunately Suzaku uses a prototype purple Shinkirou
which isn't complete. Either way it ends up with Suzaku losing and Nunnally
getting captured Suzaku too. Just a little bit later you see Chario taking
Suzaku into that kinky dungeon and then he starts whipping him. Oh did someone
say fanservice? Yeah this is pretty much what the movie is. For this scene
apparently they did knew that Zero had actually been Suzaku based on how Zero
was moving before he killed Emperor Lelouch. Alright so now getting into
Lelouch's resurrection. How exactly did that happen? For this they actually
already revealed Lelouch's returned in the poster and the recent trailer. I
still find it hard to believe that some people really thought that Lelouch
wouldn't be in the movie. I mean his name is in the frakking title but anyway for
the code geass movie keep in mind that this is technically a sequel to the
recap movies and not the TV anime. Recall that Shirley is now alive. A lot of people
are thinking that she would be the one to revive Lelouch. Well not exactly but
she does help. In the third recap movie you could see CC talking to Shirley
before the final war in the movies. It turns out that Shirley was responsible
for taking Lelouch's body over to France. Apparently Orange-kun and CC
enlisted Shirley to do it since she wouldn't be suspicious as a regular
citizen. Okay seems kind of forced. Either way Lelouch is officially revived in the
European area except that it's only his body that comes back with monster reborn
which really just means that Lelouch is this empty shell acting like a baby for most
the movie. Eventually this leads into Lelouch getting the code mark in his
chest throat area which by the way it's funny how I randomly called this mark in
my April Fools video like two years ago. Alright so now getting into the rest
of the movie which honestly is kind of disappointing and you're gonna see why.
Since Lelouch is now an empty shell of course they have to actually find his
mind or soul somewhere. CC mentions that Lelouch's mind is somewhere in the
C world. In other words CC actually has to go to the other side to get Lelouch
back the real one before he is really truly resurrected. Before that actually
happens both of them spent a lot of time traveling together as CC is moving him
to the location. As for Kallen at one point she meets up with CC to tell them
about Suzaku and Nunnally's situation but she got followed. This leads into the
introduction of the first new Geass user which is that lip ring dude over here.
So get this his geass apparently makes others see him as an ally. His first
victim of course is Kallen. This leads Kallen into fighting the ninja girl
Sayako. Of course the Geass doesn't work on CC so they get the upper hand so
after that little conflict CC updates them on her plan to get Lelouch 100%
back. She also confirms that she's reviving her due to her own wishes not
necessarily due to what's happening with Nunnally and Suzaku, that comes
second. Eventually all of them reach to the others C key area. You sees CC and
Lelouch going into a veggie state as they enter the C world. In the C
world both of them walk up to that purple orb from the trailer. Briefly you can see
Lelouch's parents making a cameo. Yep you're gonna see Charles again. Over on
the outside these guys are fighting again. They go ahead and shoot up CC's
body cuz well she could just Deadpool herself back and then oh yes Lelouch is
freaking back. He then goes ahead and orders all of them to die using his
Geass. This is that shot from the new trailer when he got the new code mark on
his chest neck area. More on this later. Next up eventually they find Suzaku in
the dungeon and yes both Suzaku and Lelouch meet up Suzaku is beyond
shocked to see Lelouch back in the flesh and he actually starts beating up
Lelouch. I guess he just wanted to kill him again.
CC has to stop him. Alright so now we're getting the gang back together. Lelouch
and friends eventually meet up with the other people that wanted to rescue Nunnally.
First off is Lelouch meeting Cornelia. Ih this is awkward.
Unsurprisingly she's super pissed that he's alive. Why didn't they get
Ephie back too but she still ends up agreeing to help them out and a similar
deal with the other former Black Knight guys.
You actually have Ohgi here coming up and offering to take his own life after
he betrayed Zero but Lelouch is so forgiving he says it's fine. No big deal.
As for Schneizel this guy pretty much has a cameo in the movie. This guy's still
under the control of Lelouch's Geass. At this point you might be wondering what
exactly is happening with Nunnally? Why did she get kidnapped? So for a good chunk
of the Code Geass movie she's been dipped in freakin honey. So get this here's the
whole reason that she was kidnapped which is really for the plot of the
freakin movie. Apparently this warrior nation got screwed over by Lelouch's
Zero Requiem plan. The reason they kidnapped Nunnally was not just because
she's a leader figure, they need a Nunnally to enter the C world and
then use its power to rebuild their nation. Can you say hey pretty convoluted?
Also why not just get CC? By the way for this movie you're gonna see a ton of
new nightmares. One of them being the purple shinkiro that Suzaku used at
the beginning of the movie. By the time that they're actually gonna get Nunnally
back this thing is officially completed so yes II have Lelouch and CC piloting
this new nightmare for the movie. Can you say a new figure coming? And it should be
super simple too. I mean this thing is just a freakin recolor mostly. Next up
let's actually get into the conflict with the big bad of the movie the blond
lady. With everyone geared up this leads into the invasion to save Nunnally. For
this blond lady here she actually has this code mark on her stomach similar to
Lelouch. Oh yes but don't forget this Blond lady does have a Geass power which
is revealed. For a majority of the movie they were wondering how exactly they
knew about future events to come. This is actually a power from her Geass. Whenever
she dies time is reset to six hours back and she resurrects. Apparently the only
downside of using this Geass power is that she doesn't completely keep her
memories of the events that just happened. Naturally she's gonna take full
advantage of this. Lelouch and friends actually go
through three loops to actually figure out a way to stop her. After Lelouch
loses three times he starts freaking out since they somehow know about
everything. Eventually Lelouch gets the upper hand by using his Geass and
putting her to sleep. Oh you can't use her power anymore! At
this point they just to get Nunnally back which unfortunately
her mind is also now in the C world so Lelouch and CC to go back into the C world
again, stuff happens they eventually get her
back and then they blow up the C temple. Right here here's the interesting
part about Lelouch is code. Lelouch ends up finding out that the code he has on his
chest is actually in fact Charlie's. Yeah think back to Code Geass r2. This goes
back to when Papa Charles touched Lelouch in season two and then got wiped
out. The only problem with this is that it's apparently not complete and yes
they don't exactly explain what this means which I'm gonna get back to.
Alright for the other battles going on outside you have Kallen with the upgraded
Gurren that fights at scorpion nightmare. Honestly I'm not too much of a fan of
this upgraded Gurren. It looks much more bulky and then you have the upgraded
Lancelot versus Chario the main guy that got introduced so yes que in the other
new figure for the new Lancelot. So both of these have been fighting outside and
what is this it turns out that this Chario guy just looked weird. I'm talking
about this dude's eyes. This guy in fact did not actually have a Geass himself so
now that Suzaku is using his beloved Lancelot and then turned on by a Lelouch
he remembers that he still has a live on Geass and he uses it to be Chario.
Chario's nightmare explodes and the guy goes boom so wha wha. Kind of a waste of
a hyped up character. Anyway here are some other interesting things. If you
actually recall back to the first two seasons you'll recall that CC's real name
was never given so are you finally gonna find out in this movie? Sorry
nope looks like you're never going to find out.
Apparently CC cannot remember it. What a load of bullcrap so who knows maybe they'll
reveal it if they do a proper R3 code geass season three. Next up
Lelouch being immortal you might be wondering about that. So Lelouch
obviously now has a code on his neck chest area but also keep in mind he has
a Geass which we use that Lelouch is seemingly immortal,
however they are actually pretty vague about it in the movie which means they
actually don't explain it at all. Who knows? He could be immortal. As for other
little fun things apparently Lloyd and Nina managed to make
this nightmare shield technology much smaller so now they actually have these
small shields that they can use with this special glass.
I could totally see this being abused. Anyway now for the finale of the movie
so they actually finished us off Michael Bay style they blow everything up and
save the day. For practically everyone in the movie it looks like they just go
back to whatever the hell they were doing but the important ones for this
movie of course being Lelouch and CC. Lelouch actually ends up going with CC who is now
traveling the world. Apparently she wants to find out more information about the
sea world CC actually tells him to stay but Lelouch is insisting that Shirley
and Nunnally do not need him but here is actually the more important reason that
being that his code isn't complete which he found out a little bit earlier.
Lelouch claims that he doesn't know whether he could die at any moment.
this is really going back to the idea of this guy really immortal is he or is he
not? So finally the movie actually ends with Lelouch calling himself LL or L2.
Him and CC hold hands and go off to travel the world. Alright at this point
you might be wondering is there anything post-credit? After the credits you just
see the new LL and CC and Lelouch really just gives a power the King's
Speech before it ends so yeah that is it sounds exciting doesn't it? Here's a
couple of negatives. From everything I've been able to confirm and been hearing
apparently there's really no development in the characters or story. This movie is
literally fanservice to Lelouch and CC almost borderline fan fiction so yes
that is a win if you are an Lelouch and CC fan especially with both of these
getting together. Overall it really just seems like this
movie is almost definitely just a cash grab. Right now I am feeling mix it about
it. The whole way the events are played out in this movie you've really just
scream this movie is meh. It doesn't really feel like any sort of actual real
progression here more like a what if science story and I guess that's
literally all this meant to be. Oh and I could see a lot of Code Geass shippers just
getting mad. To be honest I've always been a fan of Lelouch and CC getting
together but I was hoping for some sort of closure happening for Lelouch and
Kallen. That being said let me mention the other new revived girl Shirley.
Honestly this really just seemed extremely forced.
I really don't see much reason for actually going through the trouble of
reviving her. I mean you had her deliver Lelouch's body but then
after that and no importance in the movie. If they really wanted to
just do that they could have explained the whole body part in some other way. I
mean why not just do an actual R3 code geass sequel season? It really seems
like a missed opportunity and don't quote me on this but I have heard that
the director and writer have been pretty vocal about not wanting to touch this
story. In other words they didn't actually want to do some sort of sequel
maybe that's why they could only get them to agree on this
this almost side story movie. On the bright side I don't think it actually
ruins R2 season two ending but at the same time it doesn't really add almost
anything new. Like mentioned before is just screams fan fiction. I guess we'll
see what happens. How much money is this movie actually gonna bring in? I mean
money always talks and so far the other recap movies have actually done pretty
well in ticket sales and blu-ray sales and if someone that's actually lived in
Japan I can tell you that Code Geass is still making a lot of money with merch sales
especially figures. Alright so here's some extra information in case you do
want to see it Funimation has actually confirmed some US showings on May 5th
they're gonna be doing the sub version and then on May 7th and the 8th they're
doing the dub. I'm a little disappointed since I'm most likely not gonna be able
to see it myself I'm gonna be out of the country by then and in case you also
can't make the US screenings just know that movies from Japan take typically
about nine months to come out so you may see this come out in November. I'm talking
about the blu-ray but anyway more important let me hear from you what do
you think overall? Was this Code Geass movie sequel even needed? And what do you
think about the way that Lelouch was revived? Should they have really just
gone the popular code round? And do let me know are you a fan of CC and Lelouch
ending up together? Maybe forever together but anyway if you did enjoy
