There has literally never not been Code Geass material in production over the last 10 years so even calling it a return isn't exactly accurate.

Well, hopefully the continuation doesn't become the new Star Wars sequel trilogy.

This is a more or less recap movie for the last act of the show, right? Why would they rewrite that? I assume with super definitively you don't mean killed off, since that changes the ending a lot, too.
Uh no Resurrection is a sequel

Glorification was the last recap movie

what was going on with the codes and geass itf. am i misremembering the symbols dont show up on your body unless you get a code? but lelouchs and shamna had geass and the symbols? and i thought codes transferred at time of death and you lost powers, so lelouch would have known? i know they said he was fractured and mixed upo, was shamna as well?. also shirley being alive was super lame, but from the wiki that seems to be a movie continuity thing? so dumb

Her being alive from the movies is just a result of having to cut the like 6 subplots that killed her to fit the movies in the first place, it makes perfect sense if you watch them. Mao, for example, doesn't exist.

And yeah no the Code/Geass combo stuff is totally new.

I remember watching this show way back in high school, good times. Awkward, but fun. I stumbled into a sequel? Or spinoff? Or something? "Akito the Exiled", any good?
Akito is a miniseries set in Europe between the seasons. It's bad but the fights are awesome.

There is however a sequel movie that was literally in theaters this week.

So going through and watching the series again, what are some big continuity changes that were made for the start of the new movie? I'm just at the point where Lelouch is betrayed (still cant believe anyone in the Black Knights would believe Schneizel)

In the compilation trilogy, which the sequel film follows, this is changed so that they instead try to question Lelouch directly instead of assuming he's guilty, but questioning is interrupted by first Schneizel, then Rolo.

Aside from that, the other big change is that since Mao is cut from the movies, so too is all of Shirley's stuff. Her dad doesn't die, she doesn't die, and instead of her shooting Viletta at the docks, V meets up with Diethard intending to have him broadcasts Lelouch's identity, but he shoots her and destroys her evidence instead (confirming the show's implication that he knew at least that Zero=Lelouch Lamperouge, if not Lamperouge=Vi Britannia). At one point in the third film Jeremiah appears in front of Shirley and almost literally tell her she just needs to drive out of movie town so she doesn't get hurt and upset his charges.

Akito Goddess annoys me just because I've always found the idea of the collective unconscious having a conscious entity on top of it to be dumb and setting breaking even by the standards of this loosely defined world, and that's not getting into the evil devil skull.

G.G. is our new immortal, and the memory archive is presumably the part of the World of C that Charles gives Lelouch a tour of, though again I dislike the addition of a personification being added there. If we're pulling from Renya and Akito, then I imagine we'll get more about that evil skull thing and POSSIBLY the elusive Master U.U.

Hey the S.E.I.T.E.N. rules. It's the Albion that's the lame upgrade since it's still totally just the Lancelot with the energy wings stapled on.

One think I'm not especially fond of is the Shinkiro. Lelouch's hilarious keyboard piloting owns of course, but other than that it's just not as cool as the Gawain was, especially since it's not as huge and doesn't have the finger harkens to do sweet rakes with.


The Sutherland-Sieg is a similar step down from the Siegfriend proper but like, yeah I get not letting the heroes have the full-on Giga Fortress, and it DOES get us Jeremiah's awesome scene where the Sutherland loving divebombs the Mordred after the Sieg armor on it blows up.

Suzaku as Zero is also Lelouch's way of one last jab at Suzaku. Just as Suzaku agrees to accept the ZR as Lelouch's payment for the SAZ Massacre, Lelouch takes making Suzaku be Zero, the identity Suzaku hates, as payment for Suzaku's serial betrayal.

It's never not going to be weird to me how Geass is essentially about anime Lord Byron.


Also when it gets away from him things tend to go south pretty fast, the only real exceptions out of all the spinoffs being Nunally and Renya, which are both by the same creator and essentially toku instead of real robot (although Nunally still has the robots). Oz DOES have the rather interesting character of Marybell, who's essentially Euphie but as a World Unification Under Britannia true believer (and ends up becoming a Lelouch loyalist because of this), but she's not actually the central character there and Oz is pretty dull otherwise. Akito is Akito, all flash but nothing to chew on. Suzaku just sucks.

To be fair, the rest of the spinoffs are pretty much just disposable like the Lelouch manga (just the show but no robots) or gag manga of varying quality, so maybe that's unfair. Still, I'm concerned about Z for that reason.

I don't even mean the drama part, he's a runaway foreign noble who's in love with his half sister and helping the native people stage an independence revolt.

Sorry, I only took at as a refrence to Romantic drama's cause the only thing I know about Byron is that the Greeks love the dude

They love him because he came and fought for/drummed up support for the war of independence!
