why is code geass R3 season three such a big mess right now? So what's up
guys Foxen here! I actually just got done watching the
final Code Geass recap movie you know the one that has all those various
changes to get ready for the Code Geass R3 sequel. yYp that means I know all
the changes but not just this film in the past films they have steadily been
doing various changes just to be able to set up code geass resurrection. This
includes some changes with the ending so is Lelouch dead? Alive? Qhat happened?
First off the changes and I'm not gonna go into extreme detail but only touch on
the major plot points so first off if you haven't been keeping up with any of
the recap films and like most people know that quite a few story elements got
cut out. First off remember that other code gives user Mao? He is completely
gone from the film. Due to this or perhaps in preparation for it they've
also changed a lot of events regarding one major character. Recall back to code
gives season one Shirley was suspicious of Lelouch having some type of
interaction with the Black Knights eventually this leads Shirley into
shooting Velletta of course to protect Lelouch and then that branches off into
its own storyline combined with that of MAO so in the code geass recap movies
that never happened. Shirley did not shoot her. Instead it was that reporter
dude. Alright so that was the biggest change from the first movie which
eventually these further changes to the current one. Recall a major character
dying in Code Geass specifically Shirley? Yeah in the movie versions that never
happened. You know how a drastic of an impact this was for Lelouch which is
part of the reason he even wanted to destroy and not capture the Code Geass
order. What does this mean for the final recap movie that just came out and the
code gets sequel. Well since Shirley is still alive they had her just insert her
and add scene for her in this final recap movie and let me just mention that
it is really weird. To be honest might be getting into why she was left alive
and what Shirley's role is gonna be in the future Code Geass sequel. Alright so
changes for the third movie there's various tons of things here and there
but Shirley is the biggest one so first off she's still in the Academy while all
this is happening. Right before Lelouch is second attempt to take over Tokyo you
see Shirley getting this phone call from someone. It's either from Lelouch or CC.
The main thing here is that whoever's
calling is asking for some help. A little bit later in the movie you actually see
her meeting up with CC really quickly. Now getting to the scene where
Lelouch is killed by the new zero Shirley is actually present there and
as Lelouch is getting stabbed Shirley in the crowd cannot look at it. She looks
away so obviously something that never happened
but get this at the end of the movie when you're getting Kallen's thoughts
on this future situation. She's getting the bread she runs outside in the
original story anyway. In the movie version she eventually runs into Shirley
and then the switches over to her perspective so pretty much passing the
baton. Shirley's the one running into whatever and right here
Shirley does mention something about wanting Lelouch to see this feature now
As for CC if you're at all a code geass fan I'm sure you've already heard about
this the theory about Lelouch being immortal being the one together with
CC at the end specifically being the car driver.
Okay so changes here. First off this time CC is completely alone she actually is
riding a donkey somewhere and see to herself is wearing some type of weird
thing like a poncho. Before it cuts out to the end you see her reading this letter
from Shirley and orange or Jeremiah whichever you prefer. Apparently this is
due to some type of request that cc made to them the movie ultimately ends with
CC saying or asking will you fulfill the promise from that time or will I have to
wait again? And really quickly regarding orange-kun the biggest change in this
movie for him was this. Recalling the scene right before Lelouch dies he has a
thought go masked man to the new Zero. Well in the Japanese recap movie that
line is cut. You just see him looking no line at all
so yeah Shirley is gonna be alive in the new film but why? Right now everyone
seems to think that Shirley's gonna play this huge role in the sequel but it
might be more drastic which is where the mess comes in. You know that Shirley met
secretly with CC before that war so could potentially Shirley have a Geass now? Yep
there's this whole revival theory going around that Shirley is gonna play a huge
part in the Lelouch revival or resurrection as the title is called. So
yes a popular idea going around is that CC gave Shirley a Geass contract
and just thinking about it now so surely already died in the original series most
likely it's just gonna be a delayed death. It's gonna be like final destination
which means Shirley is definitely gonna have this huge death scene in the sequel
You could count on it! But anyway why is this such a big issue?
Originally this code geass resurrection project was announced to be a sequel to
the original series but right now it's definitely not. The main issue is that
it's really gonna be this parallel alternative universe type of deal.
In other words and I hate this phrase but they're trying to have their cake
and eat it too, so if potentially this whole Code Geass
project fails, hey fans we still have the original. No this is just a side story,
a what if. You can be sure that they'll backtrack if this thing is a huge
success. So let me know what you think about this!
Are you happy hearing that this is gonna be an alternate universe type of deal? In
other words if you were happy with the Code Geass r2 ending you'll have that and if
you don't like this new story well you could just ignore it.
But as you've seen in the past perhaps with things like Digimon Tri it's not
always that easy. As for some brighter news both the original director and
original writer for Code Geass are returning but here's some recent comments from
them. From the writer he says "At the time of the television series I intended to
close a book on the Lelouch story after the final episode, however in this film
talking about the through recap movie it's a little different.
It wasn't intending to be an ending but a beginning." As for the director he
mentions that the differences in the story of the films are not a negation of
the television series but rather a one possible outcome in other words the Code Geass
story is being branched into a new possible future. So hey we're in a new
timeline one were Lelouch is alive so let me know if you're concerned at all!
Did you already think the code geass r2 ending was perfect? As for this Code
Geass r3 sequel Code Geass resurrection season 3 I'm just wondering are they
gonna start this new project with some type of explanation for the general fans.
I mean Code Geass is popular or was popular. It's been 10 plus years but people in
general always skip recap films. I mean you can't blame them and more so if
you're not actually in Japan to even watch them and yes I know you might be
thinking it these recap films will eventually get a wide release however
that's really only gotten a like 10x for people outside of Japan who's gonna buy
them. Right now just imagine how many people are gonna be super confused when
Shirley is alive at the first episode. Anyway hopefully we get some more
information about this project soon. Let me just clarify that they still haven't
mentioned whether this new project is gonna be a set of films some ova's,
Digimon tri style, or a season 3 with another 24 25 episodes however since
they just did a whole mess recap films this code gets our three project is very
very likely gonna be a TV anime series. I'm like 95% sure but anyway more
important let me hear from you! Do you like where this project is going which
is this alternate reality for the Code Geass
sequel? Sid you even want a sequel? Perhaps you already thought Code Geass r2
ended perfectly? And what do you think about Shirley's death being nullified? Do
you buy this theory that she's gonna have a huge role in Lelouch's resurrection?
And then what does that mean for CC and Kallen? It'll really just make things
much more complicated! Anyway definitely give a huge thumbs up and subscribe! I am
a huge Code Geass fan so I have been covering this Code Geass news from the
beginning! Whatever new info drops on this new
series or the actual series drops itself I will have videos on it! By the way be
sure to check out my recent videos on attack on Titan, my Hero academia season
3 and darling of the Franxx and I'll see you guys later
