| So I'm done re-watching this series and I finally understand everything. Especially on how gigantic hypocrite Suzaku was until later episodes and C.C's existence. When I was watching this for the first time and I was like 15 or probably younger than that, I just accepted everything without trying to understand anything. I really wonder if Kallen knew that Suzaku is behind on Zero's mask since it seems she totally understood Lelouch's "Zero Requiem". And now I'm also "somewhat" convinced that Lelouch is dead so now I'm also wondering what season 3 will offer. |
 |
| I already know how this will end but the ending is so beautiful. 10/10 I hate the idea that they're gonna have sequel for this, I hope that is not just to MILK the series. |
| It took me 8 years to watch the whole show... gosh. Hated the whole thing, but last episode was awesome and made me realized I actually loved the show. I feel betrayed. |
| Just finished rewatching the whole series, and My God, this ending is still as great as ever, probably my favourite in anime. |
Tennouji said: I really wonder if Kallen knew that Suzaku is behind on Zero's mask since it seems she totally understood Lelouch's "Zero Requiem". Well, I'm pretty sure she knows. Lelouch could only give such a task (becoming Zero) to someone he knows very well and can trust. That narrows down the options to just Suzaku and CC but only Suzaku would be capable of carrying out the feats done by the new Zero (dodging bullets and whatnot). What I'm more interested in knowing is whether any other of Lelouch's allies/friends (besides the five we are sure of: CC, Kallen, Suzaku, Nunally and Orange-kun) understood that it was all staged. Some of them have spent enough time with him or have known him for long enough that they might have understood what was going on. And now I'm also "somewhat" convinced that Lelouch is dead so now I'm also wondering what season 3 will offer. Well, something that was never explained (to my knowledge) is how Nunally managed to read his memories. That seems kind of similar to the powers of CC and VV and some people think that Lelouch has become immortal like they were. Not saying it's true or not but it's still possible he didnot die. |
| So I decided to rewatch this episode yet again after seeing a Youtube reactor pop up on my subscription feed reacting to this one in particular and let me just say... No matter how many years it has passed since I've watched it (holy shit, a fucking decade), it will never not be an emotional ending. Strange that even though I know exactly what is going to happen in succession, I'm still tearing up a bit. That being said, Suzaku really was literally handed all the success of creating a new world while Lelouch actually toiled behind the scenes for this whole thing to happen. Suzaku preached about the system being overturned by him from the inside out, like yeah, "I can be an honorable knight and shit will magically occur." Lelouch may have had amethyst geass eyes but his vision definitely wasn't that rose-tinted, lol. |
| : I truly enjoyed the journey don’t know if I am fully satisfied with the ending or not… but to think this all ended like lelounch expected is somewhat plausible …. Now waiting ofr the revamp series |
 |
| Done rewatching the whole series. Wild ride. Now I'm really hyped for S3!!! |

| Ok, the ending redeemed this otherwise crappy season. But I'm still pretty disappointed with a lot of things. |
  |
I never knew the real reason why so many people loved this anime, I never had the desire to give Code Geass a chance in my life. The only thing can say now, I regret not having seen this anime before, is simply amazing.  |

| Last time I watched the series was back when it first aired. And what used to be a highly entertaining action show with mecha set pieces has now become a compelling character drama against a tumultuous political backdrop expressed through battles and conquest. Partly my lack thereof observation, the nuances of the character writing can nevertheless be lost easily to the theatrics of even the moment to moment progression Kallen is one the more notable beneficiaries of this new lease on the show. The fiery temperament she directs at her enemies for her own goals is slowly all but supplanted by a reliance on a symbol. But far from the only reason she fights, her willpower is ironically always tied to someone or something else, helplessness overwhelming at the prospect of her anchors disappearing Suzaku Kururugi. I don't hate this guy at all. He's a white knight in every sense of the word; upstanding, gallant, selfless, and pure. Too pure. The hypocrisy of his own actions is not lost on him as he continuously tries to justify what he's doing. But unable to accept the release of death, he eventually snaps and owns up to the contradiction of his life. Such is the tragedy of one who'd seek to light the abyss from within Lelouch vi Britannia. Lelouch Lamperouge. Zero. His theatrics leave the series with a lasting impression, but his personality immortalizes his character. He possesses the megalomania of a villain but directed to selfless goals. He's ruthlessly brilliant at times, but saves his unbridled wrath for those who earn his scorn. He's never desensitized to the blood on his hands to the point he becomes compromised. Lelouch, in essence, has the personality of a villain but the moral center of a hero. All hail Let's talk about the elephant in the room, R2. I like R2. Not as much as season 1, but the difference is small. The main thing holding back R2 is its heavy dive into the supernatural, becoming incredibly esoteric and at odds tonally and contextually with the rest of the series. It presumably happens for C2's development, but the bits and pieces gathered from flashbacks and dialog from other characters is enough to form an idea of her backstory. These parts of the show are at least graciously short, and the finale with Lelouch gaining the Dual Mangekyou Geass is a cathartic moment for his character Some of the smaller things about R2. Jeremiah suddenly treating Lelouch as if he didn't have a grudge against him at all when he found out he was Marianne's son. Rolo deciding to let Lelouch go after the latter just held him at gun point. Lelouch and the Shinkirou swooping in from above to shield Shinke and the Shen-hu when there's no other way out the cave without any indication Lelouch flew past the entrance again. And the superfluousness of the Knight of 1 and Knight of 10, who exist to lose to Suzaku and Kallen respectively, and the Knights of the Round in general Oh, and let's close this off with the Knightmares themselves. I love how they reflect the personality of their pilots. The nimble and defensive Lancelot, the frantic and offensive power of the Guren MkII, the towering humanoid fortress called the Gawain/Shinkirou, the no-nonsense straightforward Mordred, the transformative and flashy Tristan, the black and white accents aligning the muscular Galahad, the unhinged movements of the Siegfried. I love it when a mecha isn't just distinct, but reflective of the pilot inside (my favorite Knightmare, btw, is the simple, straightforward but distinguished Zangetsu) Man this show is awesome. Also Pizza Hut |

Yamil_kun said: Damn that was some ending. All that build up, plot and character development from both seasons, too chaotic and inconsistent sometimes, but it all payed off in the end and made for such an impactful conclusion. There were some moments were i thought he was a total badass, but now i'm certain that Lulu is THE MAN. To endure everything he had gone through, carrying the weight of all deaths and tradegy that he'd done, to play the mask of an inhuman tyrant, being isolated from his friends, former comrades, from Nunnaly. When Suzaku started the killing, the expressions of all characters around is just gold: Nunnaly is shocked, Kallen understood what is going on (and who Lelouch truly is) and she screamed in despair, Cornelia shouting her squad to move, Tamaki and Ohgi approving the killing with hatred, sword drives through, the tears running from Suzaku... and him pretty much accepting the life of isolation as Zero... I lost there, i started crying and said "Lelouch" aloud even though it's pointless, i never felt so sad about a character. And then Nunnaly realising from strange contact magic what his true intentions were, started to wail like mad, under the crowd cheering: "Zero! Zero!". Can't help but pity him, such a poor boy, the world tried to crush him with all the hatred and unfairness, but still he remained true to his path, and kept his promise to Nunnaly by "making the world a more gentle place". And it's satisfying to see that all other characters live happy into the future, with 2 seasons and picture dramas i did attached to them. Well except for Suzaku. I hated his character a little throughout the series, but in the end he redeemed himself, and now i feel bad about his destiny. C.C.... she doesn't seem to be sad, rather even happy, and speaks addressing Lelouch on the cart. Which means Lelouch is either become immortal (like geass giver), or his consciousness survived somehow. The first variant will explain why Nunally was able to read those memories and understand Lulu's plan. The C.C. being happy means Lelouch is still able to make her wish come true (be truly loved and die with a smile). So it's not that bad for our Lulu, and Nunna with Kallen could tell their closest friends who Lelouch really was, so they could remember him as a hero. Boy i love this ending, tragic in all the right places, and still happy feeling in the end. Lelouch is alive and well cruising down the hills with CC on their chill-af cart-cruise |

| Not Milly x Rivalz. Good Kallen in love with Lelouch. Good Suzaku ended up as the good guy. Man, now I can't hate him at all. Lelouch Lamperouge. The goodest bestest villain of all time. Basically, everyone's plans failed but his. C.C. <3 I wonder if she lost all contact with Lelouch. Loved this series as a whole. 9.5/10 |
 |
| Fucking masterpiece holy shit! Damn that was a perfect ending for me |
 |
| I was expecting something like this, because the world has now a common enemy, which is now Lelouch. Yep, that was their promise in C.C.'s world, Lelouch will have to die in the end. How I wish Lelouch didn't have to die, it's so unfair. He could've thought of other things, but that would have cancelled out the promise he made, but still, ALL HAIL LELOUCH!. I wonder what happened to the Holy Britanian Empire now, is it still the same big empire. I know for a fact that it is controlled by Nunnally and "Zero" now, at least, judging from that scene at the end. EDIT: 10/10 - Because Lelouch transcends human bounds of mortality, he is the one and only eternal Emperor of Britannia. ALL HAIL LELOUCH! |

| “What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?” ― Lelouch Vi Britannia |
| Well, it was a nice ending, one of those that properly shows how each surviving character continue their lives, I likes that type of endings a lot. Gonna miss, Kallen, Anya and Villeta, lots of lovely girls in this show. |
 |
| This ending makes sense. It's a happy ending, at the expense of Lelouch. A tragedy for him and us, but a happy ending for the people. But i don't care about any of that. I just want Lelouch to reveal his true self to the people i just want everyone to realize his true intentions, that everything he did is for the greater good. Nobody knew how much sacrifices he had made for their sake. They only saw the mask he put up, the act to protect them. Lelouch is the real good guy of this series, he's the only emperor who cared for the well-being and peace of his people, why can't anyone see that? Why can't they realize that he painted himself as the villain on purpose so they can live happily ever after?? This is a masterpiece. A sad happy ending. I guess only fanfictions can save Lelouch now... |
| Oh my god, I have never felt so conflicted and torn apart by an anime ending ever! Like there are times where you want to club the MC or you just hate the ending, but the Code Geass ending was so heartwrenching, and satisfying, and horrible, and emotional :(( I am truly in a state of awe. Honestly, all of the main characters, even subplot characters were vital, alive, and beautifully created and masterfully characterized. I love it. All in all, a true masterpiece. An anime WAY ahead of its time. Touching on racism, nationalism, war, love, the human condition, life, relationships, and deception?? like what more can you ask for?? Truly a work of literature, honestly, if it was an ""ENGLISH"" trilogy, people would eat it up. However, I love that it is a cult fave. Probably won't rewatch because it makes me feel emotionally drained, but catch me watching all of my favorite scenes on Youtube crying at 3AM. Lelouch Vi Britania will live on in my heart! <3 Ciao! |

| I know this was "predictable" and all that but I try not to look too much into things lest I should enjoy them less. AND THUS, IT WAS A GREAT ENDING AHHHH Q___Q it took me a little by surprise and I was so freaking ready to cry until Orange appeared and I lost it LOL sjdfksjdfksdjkfj Truly beautiful, the last few episodes have been so weird and conflicting, all leading to this... I couldn't say if this was truly a masterpiece or not, all I know is that I consider it so ;A; glad I could enjoy an anime again after so long! |

| Well, seeing as there have already been 35 pages of discussion for this episode and literally thousands of responses, I highly doubt that there is anything new I can bring to the table. The finale was immensely satisfying, instantly making Lelouch a much more respectable character. I didn't think the writers would be able to conclude the story and wrap up all of those loose ends as well as they did, but they pulled it off marvelously. I have no complaints for this finale. It was one of the best series finales I have ever seen and I applaud the production staff. 11/10 episode, 9/10 show. |
| So I just finished the final episode of Code geass and all I can say is that I'm mindblown! The ending was so amazing and caught me by surprise tbh and it was such a satisfying ending.Truly made me love Lelouch's character. Now I understand why people love Lelouch so much. One of the best MCs out of all the anime I've watched. Easy 9/10 All Hail Lelouch! |
 |
| WOAH finally finished this series I didn't expect to cry but this is so sad, lelouch directed all the hatred to himself then getting killed so people would reunite :( This series is good as people say I can understand now why people love lelouch so much. |

Crazymallets said: The peace he wants is not ridding the world of all those elements. Because those will always exist as along as humanity exist. There's no way to change that. The peace he wants is no more war. and he did just that by creating a common enemy for everyone because the only way for those at opposite sides to work together is if they have a common enemy. and by eliminating that enemy, Lelouch achieved world peace by ending the detestation between groups.Most over rated ending in anime history, and it's what made me hate this anime so much. The concept that Lelouch's plan would ever work is ludicrous. They really had to pull off some B.S. moments just to make it work, and pretty much make everyone an idiot so Lelouch could win. The so called "peace" Lelouch made is a lie with Suzaku being a false hero. It doesn't at all touch upon true political issues, corporate corruption, racism, and many other issues that need to be addressed to create world peace. (I'm actually happy the new movie points some of this out). Lelouch himself had just told his father forcing kindness on people is an act of villainy. Yet what did Lelouch do? Just that. He was nothing by a hypocrite who placed himself above everyone else. He had the means to make the world a better place in a gentler manner once becoming emperor. Instead he created a war that costs millions of lives and ruined many more. Does that really honoring Euphi's, Nunnally's or anyone of the good people's desires? Personally I consider him mentally unstable and his so called grand scheme to bring about peace was nothing but a suicidal note. |
