TIME TO END CODE GEASS!!

Here is the PATREON exclusive reaction to Code Geass Episode 25 of Season 2!

Enjoy!

Comments

HuxelTheBerb

Last Code Geese Friday :(

Edu S.

I haven't watched it yet but let me take this chance since the comments are empty WATCH THE MOVIE "Code Geass Lelouch of the Re;surrection"

FuglyNPC-Seyha

I usually save these until my lunch in a couple of hours but this episode is definitely one to watch now.

Barack O. Llama

judging by the title i am guessing luke didn't like it that much. edit: nvm im just an idiot

Aaren YASS

Yo they did Nunally the most wrong in this anime. She was made blind and crippled, kept in the dark about major things involving her family, then manipulated by everyone, then she finally overcomes the Geass by her own will, just to see Lelouch "betray" her and their last appearance together is the cold truth about everything. Bruh.-

Andres Bustamante

I watch you because you always keep it one hundred Luke. I wish some people could handle others’ opinions without being hateful

2024-06-16 13:18:22 Now you finished it I can share a theory I wish the writers made true. C.C. whole goal was to get someone geass power completed so to take her place (aka her immortality), like Charles did with V.V. So at the end we don't see C.C.'s symbol on her forehead when she is praying. If Lelouch got her power at the end, he would be immortal. So he would not have died and C.C. would be mortal to got her wish. Which means he would be the driver of the cart she was in and it makes sense she looks up towards the driver when she says "right..lelouch?" I also say this theory works because Lelouch now has to suffer as C.C. did, while never seeing his sister again as punishment for creating world peace, but also leaves open a season 3.

I have watched it and lemme take the chance to say it. Nobody should watch the movie "Code Geass Lelouch of the Re;surrection." And I say that as a Code Geass fan.

Lelouch was trembling when he found that Nunally was alive, and Suzaku even confront Lelouch, "This doesn't change anything". Nunally doesn't know Schenielz plans, so only dictator is Lelouch. In other shows you found so easily when some character are lying, but you didn't get it with lelouch... so thats good.

Mr. R

Don´t worry, the person riding the carriage at the end isn´t Lelouch. CC looking up, was more like she´s "talking" to Lelouch in heaven.

Dark_Rider

So you are not gonna react to code Geass Lelouch of the Re;surrection movie????? What a letdown. T.T

Nihilistic Blue

Finally its over, Its good to know Luke still reads to comments incase he misses something but the remark that you "wont bother understanding what the comments are saying because its wrong opinion" was uncalled for. There will be plenty of fun and amazing animes to watch but rarely will they have the climax of Code Geass. AOT copied Zero Requiem and it didnt end well for them, the hatred still existed. Lelouch thought Nunnally died from the explosion and wanted to figure out a way to defeat the emperor and bring peace somehow even after finding out shes alive. Think CC was talking to Lelouch in C's world its kind of open ended.

Sinbad_Deity

This is a binge anime, if you didn't have the comments explaining things the you opinion would've been vastly different, but if you didn't keep to the schedule you opinion would change too, this anime is best viewed when you binge episodes back to back, when I first watch it, I'd watch quite a few episodes back to back, and wait a couple days or weeks to binge it again, I even took a month off from watching it. I think that helped a lot as I had a lot of fresh information and enough time to review said information. It's interesting how opinion can change so much depending of how you watch certain shows.

anime boss

Lelouch is canonically dead but his soul still exists in cs world meaning c2 can speak with him lelouch became a threat to the whole so they'd unite against him Nannuly did see everything lelouch did and he did it for her to create a world were she wouldn't be seen as weak

Mikal Adkins

Is Luke going to watch the movies?

Aaren YASS

Luke flip flopping on every single character, but remaining loyal to Lelouch (the dictator, even though it's all part of the plan) will always be funny. -

Zero

Can’t believe he won’t watch the movie

Palm

Now that you've seen it all, I'll point out one thing: Code Geass is effectively an adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Qenzo

There is a movie if you don't like this ending, the movie came after many years after the anime and it is a not planned sequel of the anime :)

Qenzo

Movie sequellll 🫡🫡🫡🫡

Doctor

It wasn't Lelouch as the driver, she was talking to him from the afterlife like she did to his mom.

Hello

When Nunally touched Lelouch's hand, she didn't see any vision (confirmed by the creator themselves in an interview, and she didn't even freak out seeing someone else's memories like how Suzaku and Lelouch did when they saw C2 memories, there were no special effects of her bring thrown to the memories imagery as well). She just felt that his hand was calm, and thus he was not lying and that this was all part of his plan. Thanks for appreciating Nunally's crying voice, it's the main reason why I prefer the sub to the dub since Nunally's dub voice kinda bothered me. The Zero Requiem is pretty much a suicidal plan for both Suzaku and Lelouch, as their atonement and redemption for all the damage they have caused as they led the rebellion and took part in this war, with the power of Geass and lost pretty much almost everything important to them along the way. It's a punishment for both of them, them sacrificing themselves to give the world a chance to move forward, to atone for everything they have done. It tied everything up nicely, that's why it's a very beloved ending. Since you're able to appreciate the ending, I would recommend that you rewatch at your own pace to understand better how Lelouch and Suzaku's mindset changed over time through the various events and deaths of those dear to them, and how they both eventually arrived at the Zero Requiem plan. It's a bittersweet ending, but in the end all the people closer to him realized that everything was part of his plan, especially Nunally, without him even saying anything. And it was said that Lelouch died with a smile on his face so yeah even though it's sad, it's also satisfying

FlyingEagle

Hi Luke. In the end, you got the central themes and the most important part of the story well. I’ve found your reaction to the last few episodes interesting in many ways precisely because it's unusual. First, the vast majority of people watching Code Geass for the first time do miss some information. But the specific set of information you absorbed/missed especially in the final stretch was highly unusual. For the vast majority of people in the final episodes the shock of Lelouch taking over Britannia, using his Geass to force others to acknowledge him as emperor and enslave his soldiers, and abducting the UFN representatives at gunpoint leave a strong impression, and if information slips peoples minds it tends to be the conversations with Suzaku and CC about the “zero requiem” because we have no context for what that means or what the final plan is. As a result For most going into the final few episodes opinions of Lelouch range from conflicted and waiting for the info on the final plan to drop to outright despising him. In contrast, you seemed to be most interested and focused on the vibe between Lelouch, CC, and Suzaku and reacted strongly to all signs he had been betrayed. On the one hand that meant you recognized the emotional tone Lelouch had and that he was looking out for the greater good the entire time, and so weren’t fooled the way some people were who went into the final episode despising Lelouch and expecting him to turn evil like Light from Death Note. However, it also meant you weren’t thinking about how his actions look to everyone outside the inner circle able to interact with Lelouch without the 0 mask or being Geass controlled. On the one hand, you were right about Lelouch being good (morally complex at worst) and trusted him more than many watchers, on the other the amount of external context you missed was really frustrating for some of us especially when you were ahead on reactions, or hadn’t read comments for a few weeks. Maybe the Dub would have helped you for this show like some others have said, but that is hard to judge. 38:40 The end statement by CC that has produced Debates for nearly 2 decades. It's open that she could be talking Directly to a physical Lelouch or to a more spiritual version. Some people think Lelouch not dying works against his sacrifice. For me though when you remember that the Code makes people immortal it is 100% possible that Lelouch survived, to me that makes more sense than abandoning the immortal mechanic that played such a big role in the story. Charles’s immortality code needed to go somewhere and Lelouch seems like the obvious place. The only other possibility for me is Suzaku becoming immortal with a Geass power and Lelouch dying permanently but that seems less likely to me. To me, Lelouch's final act is most similar to Attack on Titan's but the Code Geass end is what happens when a smart person who cares about all of humanity makes the final decisions, instead of vengeful person mostly looking out for his in-group makeing those decisons. Code Geass has lots of flaws and sorta silly little writing decisions but the centerpieces of its characters, arcs, and ending are top-tier for me. If you are feeling a little too down to go for Akito the Exiled (short series between seasons 1 and 2) or the movie right now then I do still recommend this as a fun reaction: Code Geass but its only the parts with Pizza Hut and Cheese-Kun on screen( some of these references were edited out in the version you watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7-I-E7B5zo

Martin

You should watch the movie. It's a bit not canon, but gives a better ending to Lelouch and CC

Byron Miralda

Please watch code geass lelouch of the resurrection

Subaquatic Toaster

That title does not give me any confidence that Luke tried to read our comments. Gotta wait till later to watch but oof. Not looking forward to this one.. Edit: Looks like he did read em. Here's hoping it improved his understanding of why things are happening.

isaac basabe

And BTW, that's why everyone keeps telling in another anime ending reaction that Lelouch did it first, you know what anime we are talking about.

Hello

It's up to you if you want to watch the movie, but take note that it's a follow up to an AU where Shirley is alive because she became a mob character who had no interaction with Lelouch at all, and significantly more focus is out on Lelouch/Suzaku/CC. It cut all of the school scenes and fanservice scenes out too. There are significant changes in characters relationship and motivations in the AU so I would recommend that you watch the 3 recap movies first. The movie sequel is a fun watch that gives a happy ending for Cc and Lelouch, but don't expect anything deep from it.

Lex

Zero requiem is a famous script that goes down in anime history, evevn the GOAT AOT had to take a page from it, when eren started the rumble everyone is shocking, but for those who had already watched code geass. we all know what's eren doing, it surely takes away the fun though.

Sinbad_Deity

Don't worry, if you're rare for still rooting for Lelouch, then I must be rare too, despite all the horrible things Lelouch did I knew there'd be a reason.

Christopher Jakubik

Was the anime messy? Yeah, honestly, there are a few episodes or characters I don't care for. It's still one of my favorites. But also--at the time of the ending--you wouldn't have been the only person annoyed by the ambiguous ending. It's also kinda funny how similar this and a certain other *ended in the past year* show are in terms of endings.

isaac basabe
>>139534041

I agree, that movie shouldn't have been done, and code geass is my top 1 anime.

Kyouma

Thank you so much for finishing this anime, Luke! I'm very happy to see the look of confusion/ astonishment during this last episode, as I am sure many people also felt the same way. According to sources who claim to have interviewed the show's creator, they intended to leave the ending as an open guess for other viewers to decide on the ending they wanted. In the scene with C.C. stating that the power of the king will isolate people—maybe that's not quite the correct scene—I translated it to the fact that Lelouch used the power of the king to unite people in the end rather than isolate them. The Eng Dub translation of this line is quite off as well because it leads to an entirely different interpretation, "The power of the king will condemn you to a life of solitude; I think maybe that's not quite correct...right Lelouch?" This interpretation led to the belief that Lelouch might be the cart driver and still alive. Again though, nothing was ever confirmed regarding this. If you decide to watch the movie, you should watch the 3 part movie that exists first because it changes certain things that happened in the anime. This series of movie parts leads into the movie Lelouch of the Re;surrection. Again, thank you for reacting to my favorite anime of all time; I look forward to your next reaction!

alicev89

The reason Nunnally saw what she did when she touched her brother is kind of explained in the movie, many did predict why it happened but it was never confirmed for years until said movie was released. If you really read between the lines and fully grasp everything the show has to offer you find a lot of hidden things that will further explain the ending of this show a lot better. But IMO it is not an easy feat to figure it out in just one watch through.

Sinbad_Deity

I think an easy way to explain the Nunnaly situation is to say Lelouch is Eren and Nunnaly is Mikasa.

Yui

I just finished this reaction, and I just think I need to say something. Luke, you're a SSS+++ tier person and I love you. :) Your comments and responses in the beginning of this video show exactly why you're one of the best. You definitely didn't deserve what happened and I am sorry. I am also excited for Deadpool and Wolverine. :D The ending scene with C2 and the cart was always a big topic of speculation in the fandom. I'm pretty sure that the creators disconfirmed it being Lelouch, but there's also the movies that kind of play into that topic as well. There are 4 main Code Geass movies. The first 3 are remake movies that change some of the events of the story, for example there's a character that doesn't die in the movies that did in the original show. The 4th movie is a sequel to the other 3 movies, which takes place after the events of this show. Because there were changes made in the movie, it is technically not canon to this show but as far as I know the movie canon is the more official canon at this point. I personally haven't watched the remake movies and just knew there would be differences, but I don't know if that would work for you. Maybe some day you could watch them all, but I definitely know it would need to be long from now for you.

The anime is perfect as it is. The Movie is great but it doesnt make me like this anime more. It satisfied my desire of seeing some ... (spoil) . . . Romance and LL + CC being together and happily live till eternal.

Zafree

When you watch the Code Geass movies it's pretty important that you watch them in order. ther are 2 recap movies but they change some pretty important moments from the anime. e.g some characters that are dead in the anime do not actually die in the movies and the movies continue on to the Re;surrection movie that takes place after this ending.

For all the people doubting his reactions because of the title, I think he can't think of a good title for the video or just forgot to put one; take a hint guys, it's literally the same title as Ep24 reaction. I'm glad you took the time to read some of the explanations. I've enjoyed your reactions, don't worry about things like not liking some episodes, even fans of the series would agree with you to some extent. Code Geass isn't highly regarded because of its episodes and all the events leading up to Zero Requiem, but because it is one of the greatest endings in anime, especially when not all anime actually gets an ending, let alone sequel seasons. With regards to the movies, as a fan of the series, even I haven't seen the movies and I don't ever plan to watch all of it because I heard it retconned some deaths and events in Season 2. For me, Code Geass is done, I loved the ending and was satisfied with it. The alternate timeline isn't just for me, it felt like they were just milking the show til its last drop. So honestly, you won't lose anything not watching the movies. Looking forward to your Bocchi the Rock reactions!

kkxszz

The AOT's writer has to stand out and claim AOT will not totally copy Code Gease's ending when the rumbling start, because to many people believe that Eren is the secend Lelouch way before the AOT ending.

Hello
>>139538012

I thought CC is only able to talk to Lelouch's mom because she hid herself inside Geassed Anya? If she is able to talk to any Geassed user in the C world, then she wouldn't have told Mao to wait for her in C world?

Doctor
>>139539014

The creators have confirmed for years that Lelouch is dead, that was always their intention and obvious since his being alive would undercut his entire character of only the ones who should kill are those prepared to be killed.

abiyyu hilmi

yeah the ending when CC called lelouch got me too. but here's the thing if you decided to watch the movie Code Geass Lelouch of the Re;surrection, yeah that's him. but if you not that's not him.🤣

LMPGames

The reason I like the end of this anime is that we have an absolute antagonist (Lelouch, at least as far as the world is considered) who aspires to become a protagonist by doing all of the things that an antagonist would do and then sacrifice themselves as a means of repentance for their actions. I can't think of a single anime where one of the titular main characters plans to kill themselves, without any hope of benefit, and then does so and by doing so becomes the protagonist of the story. The way CG makes you flip all over the place between hating and loving characters I didn't feel again until I watched Attack on Titan. Nearly every character that you hate initially they build up into one that you may end up like at the end of the show, except for Schneizel and maybe, arguably, Nunnally. The number of times I flip flopped on Suzaku and Cornelia was crazy. I hated the crap out of Jeremiah until the reveal that he wasn't operating based on his loyalty to Britannia, but to Marian and when he realize who Zero really was he changed loyalties. Even Lelouch, I went back and forth on whether or not he was actually a protagonist right up until the last four episodes and then did a massive flip back to "protagonist" on the last half of the last episode. This show is wild.

mjaomjao2

If Lelouch died or not have been the subject of alot of debates. Personally I'm one of those that think it would lessen the story if he did survive. Also it's kinda ironic, as much as the comments are complaining about you missunderstanding a show. The comments are often even worse at understanding what you are actually saying XD. (In case I have to clarify. This isn't targeting people that are just trying to clear up the misunderstandings, I do that to sometimes and Lukes random missunderstandings is one of the reasons I like watching him. Some people just takes things too personally.)

abiyyu hilmi

This is a quote from the Code Geass Official Guide Book; "For those two who bear the heavy sin known as killing their fathers, they share the belief that they can forgive each other by imposing the greatest punishments on themselves. Death for Lelouch who wishes for a tomorrow with his sister, life for Suzaku who wishes to atone for his sins through death. Suzaku, who accepts the weight of Zero's mask, gives his gratitude to Lelouch. For the fact that he can atone for his sins. For the results of fulfilling his own wish."

Sinbad_Deity

I hate that final scene, I don't like ambiguous endings lol

R13

What constitutes respect Luke? Your opinion is your own and you have a right to it, but that does not mean it is barred from criticism. Code Geass is brilliant for the most part with a few exceptions, such as Season 1 Nina and the Chess match at the Vermillion Forbidden City between Schenizel and Lelouch and maybe the fan service of season 2 but that is debatable. As I pointed out in the comments during season 1 and in the middle of season 2, the reason things were not making sense to you is because you were not paying attention to the anime and the finer details of it. I'm not saying this to be mean, it is true. As you yourself said in this video. The reason some might be reacting the way they are, harshly, even though it isn't justified, it is because you were judging Code Geass on false premises, formed on not well informed opinions, you did miss many plot points and things that were said and shown, which when you pay attention to make the anime a whole lot better. There is a key difference between Death Note and Code Geass, as well as Attack on Titan though and that is in Death Note it was Light vs L in season 1 and then Light vs Near and Mellow in season 2, Lelouch was up against a nation which controlled pretty much half of the world. And unlike Light he won and unlike Eren, Lelouch's plan was his own not that of a god-like figure which compelled him down this road. He harbored no hatred for many of the people he geassed, not to mention those he killed in the war when he became emperor. He asked Gilford a question at the start of season 2, "What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by Just means, do you remain Just even if it means surrendering to evil, or do you commit evil to destroy the greater evil" He became the greater evil so great than any other before him and had Zero who was seen as the lesser evil destroy the greater evil. All of season 1 and all of season 2 are deeply interconnected with one another and when you are aware of the finer details it's beautiful. Very well written(with a few exceptions). Anyways enjoyed the reaction, disappointed you could not enjoy it as much as everyone else has.

I think the fact that CC no longer wishes to die is one of the best parts of the plot though. She even laments that Lelouch has to die, whereas before she saw death as liberation.

She told mao to wait for her in C world cuz mao was going to die, just like Lelouch, we have no clue if shes been talking to mao since his death, she could just be talking outloud for the viewers or to the driver in front, who knows.

alicev89

Lelouch did act very evil, it was just not always shown on screen which makes it harder to fathom how evil he actually was. He did so many here is a few: 1. He killed his half brother in cold blood, assuming he was involved in the killing of his mother with absolutely no evidence. We know now Clovis was not involved at all in the killing of the mother. 2. At the battle of Narita he used Gurens radiation emitter that started a landslide to win against Cornelia, this ended up killing a lot of civilians including Shirley's father. 3. Even though it was not intended, he did Geass Euphemia his half sister into killing a LOT of Japanese people. 4. He really messed up the JFL during both the hotel incident and when killed them off when the Chinese invaded to help Japan and lied about it saying they suicided to manipulate the remainders of the JFL to join his side, mainly Todo and his group. 5. When he became emperor he killed off all the noble families that were against him. 6. The numerous people he ruined by using Geass on them either killing them or destroying any future they could have had. An example of this is the girl that he tested his Geass on in season one to make an X on a brick wall, you could see in her season 2 still doing that until you see half a cross implying she died before finishing it. 7. Killing of the Geass Order which was mainly researchers and children. 8. The use of F.L.E.I.J.A. once he took over Damocles killing a lot of people again after he had already won. 9. During the 2 month skip at the last episode you heard the civilians say that if you badmouth him he would kill your entire family. This is a typical policy of real life dictators. And these are only a few of the things he's done that are morally grey at best and very evil at worst. The show tries to portray him as a savior of the Japanese and he is doing it for a just cause otherwise it wouldn't really be entertaining if you just hate the main character. This show is really good at making you unsure on who to like. I don't think I rooted for anyone at the end I was just enjoy it for what it was. You don't have to root for someone in every show though I do understand the appeal of finding a character to connect with. Sorry for the wall of text >.<

Omer Durrani

Watching this reaction to the ending of code geass, even with all the ups and downs, I am happy to know at the end it was a successful watch along and this reaction, again keeping in mind the shit show that preceded it, was extremely satisfying to watch. A critical review of code geass, for a show that you probably went in with extremely high expectations and has a lot of moving parts and deep plot points, to be satisfied with the ending is a win in my books. Awesome video man, loved it.

SamJaz

Man, I'm sorry that Code Geass fans have been absolute buttmonkeys to you about this. Hope you're doing okay. You deserved to enjoy that ending undiluted by bile from the comments. With that ending, what do you think about the comparison between Lelouch and Light? Both villain-shaped protagonists who commit mass murder to try and make the world a better place, both die at the end of their respective series, but seeing Lights ending against Lelouch's ending, the two of them could not be more different. Light went out like a screaming wailing child while Lelouch went out like an absolute king.

Digit

Best anime of all time, IMHO. Shame that some points were missed and others underappreciated. Every character makes sense, has personality, goals and flaws. Perfect ending. Amazing details and rewatchability.

Nihilistic Blue
>>139538077

Code Geass accomplished a lot in only 2 seasons, for a political mecha supernatural anime, its hard to find that mix and perform this well in 2024, it could be fleshed out more in 3-4 seasons like AoT with the geass religions, weird alien people, the family drama with charles and v.v, the wars going on outside of japan etc.

Hwiyeop Kim

46:50 that's Lelouch's punishment for killing so many people. He can't live in this better world with his sister Nunnally. And Suzaku, who always wanted to die, is punished by having to live long life being the symbol of peace.

>>139534974

theyre making season 3 Right now but i think its like 20 Years after season 2

Novaror

You really need to watch last movie. Three movies before are recaps of season 1 and 2 with some changes. I do recommend watching those movies alone ( that way you wont get coufused with last movie) and record 4th movie to post on patreon.

"SPOILERS" - Many villains/anti-heroes in many anime/media have a similar plan of uniting the world through power or fear for some form of "everlasting peace". Infinite Tsukuyomi (NARUTO), Ragnarok Connection (CG), Zero Requiem (CG), The Rumbling (AOT), Heavens Feel (FATE), Human instrumentality (EVA), Garou (OPM), Ozymandias (WATCHMEN) etc

He just missed some information and created and pushed fake narratives on disliking certain characters which triggered the comment section and left a bitter taste in his mouth on completing the show. We all understand its hard to juggle so many anime, we tell him he can write down notes. Fortunately he reads the comments for clarification on why he had certain opinions or judgements that werent true or questionable but at the end of episode 24 he said "don't even bother, there's literally nothing you could say after watching this myself, nothing that could ever convince me that it makes sense" was kind of rude to people respectfully trying to help him.

This 1% uncertainty in the end is indeed a great move from the writers

people voting for Food Wars, it has 6 seasons, im sure Luke will forget a ton of random information but the show doesnt need you to pay too much attention so for that show, its fine.

Watch4Dogs

Glad the anime wrapped up satisfactory for you. Little tip for future dense information heavy anime, for the love of god take the 30 seconds to watch the recaps. This wouldn't have helped with the last couple of episodes since no recap there but they're there for a reason when released weekly. Enjoy Bocchi, I'll be skipping since I haven't watched it yet. Will check out the next series whenever it comes.

Its hard to find a show in 2024 that is a mecha supernatural political genre that has the ending of CG and is still very loved and popular anime for over 15+ years.

Nihilistic Blue
>>139542112

Light at the start wanted to become the God of the world, killing evil people so people become scared to commit crimes, but became corrupted by the power, he never loved anyone like Lelouch loved Nunnally willing to die for a peaceful future.

look up the secret ending of code geass. it was only released in japan. It's a little ambigouse so this may not be right but. the code that CC and VV had made them immortal, then Charles stole VV's code making him immortal. But God killed Charles So I assume the code he had went to Lelouch, making him immortal. It's also possible it's not cannon and the Author just made an alternative ending cause he has a tendency to do that with the manga

Solar
>>139536181

in the alternative ending only released in japan it does show lelouch still alive. it doesn't explain how it's possible but I just assume that when Charles vanished the code he had that made him immortal went to lelouch

Nihilistic Blue
>>139542170

One of the most memorable anime endings still in 2024 for sure, but many people wont watch it due to mecha robots or fan service. It would be interesting to see how Code Geass wouldve performed if it got the same global hype as AttackOnTitan where even people who dont watch anime would watch it. Fortunately CG is still recommended on many anime reactors list of shows, its in the top 10 options still.

We love you Luke! <3

yea they wanted to make sure the driver looked suspicious with everything covered lol

Subaquatic Toaster

I'm glad you were able to enjoy the ending at least to some extent. I'm sorry that the criticism for the "Don't bother" comment tainted your feelings towards the series but I do feel like it was warranted criticism. I only saw one person in those comments being outright mean but maybe it was more than that and the comments got deleted? Unfortunately now everyone who commented on episode 24 is being lambasted by people who didn't even watch the reaction which kinda sucks. It feels like the reason people were actually upset wasn't addressed and was instead strawmanned with "Oh we're mad because Luke doesn't like CG enough". Anyway, glad your overall reaction to the series was relatively positive, its a classic for a reason. Looking forward to Bocchi

Kminttech

You aren't the only one that thinks the driver is Lelouch in that scene. Before the recap and resurrection movies which are considered an alternative timeline because of altering a few characters fates since their stories were cut so including their deaths wouldn't be as impactful there was a very extensively thought out and broadly popular fan theory that in my opinion made a lot of sense. Essentially the theory stems from the scene where you see CC become immortal. You see the nun who was the immortal Geass granter before her and CC have both been mortally wounded and CC wakes up having lost her double eyed Geass and become the new immortal. The theory was that when Charles grabbed Lelouch's neck with his hand that had the symbol on it that it basically started the process of Lelouch inheriting the immortality. But that to finalize the transfer and the loss of Geass the Geass user has to "die" for the first time considering that seems to be what happened in CC's case. This theory is pretty smart because it also doesn't even disrupt any of reactions to the stakes at the end since most would be unaware of this. CC even trails off while crying over the price Lelouch is going to pay but considering that CC has been looking to die to escape her perpetual isolation she obviously would think gaining Immortality is just as bad a price if not worse than death. I think the popularity of the theory came from a combination of both the amount of thought people put into it and the fact that it does lead to a happy ending for more characters including CC who would finally have a companion in her immortality.

Krowft

Take note people, Luke said so himself, with an anime that has what is considered to be a complex plot, and also a lot going on at the screen at the same time with little details, while also having *subtitles on the screen* that he has to try and read as well, it's easy to miss some things. Maybe this will allow some of you to be more accepting of the concept of whaching them in dubbed, especially for animes where the dubs are overall regarded as very well done as it was with this anime, it may lead to an easier time assimilating the plot and various character's reactions when you don't have to concentrate as much to get what is being said. And I say this as someone who watches 90% of my anime in subs. But Code Geass is one of the few I consider to have very well made dubs that was able to portray the emotion similar to the japanese original, and therefore it would provide a similarly decent experience for a native English speaker like Luke

Gomez and Cook

This was leluches story everyone else just weeved in and out of it while yes the side characters are important most of their stories continue but not Lulus and I think decision taken by characters were a lot more realistic than in most other animes because in real life one event can change a person's whole view on life and but I think this anime is amazing I love how we just end with his death we have an idea of how everyone else's story continues but not really because it wasn't the point it was all about lulu and I love that how this complicated world landed on the shoulders of one I don't know if any of that made sense but enjoyed your reactions

Potter889
>>139545084

Something I do and I've seen some reactors do, is after they watch an episode of a longer running show, they take five to 10 minutes after they finish the episode to write a brief summary of the episode, that way they can have something to look at to remind them of things that have happened.

Hiruman
>>139534041

Nah, more lelouch and C.C. is always good. I rather watch the movie than all those side stories OVA. Lelouch presence in the original anime was so huge to the point any side story with new main characters feels empty without him

Binbou

I'm glad you at least enjoyed the ending, even if you would have enjoyed it more if it werent for the comment section. But I honestly gotta say, it's your own doing. You are overloading yourself with anime to the point that you don't keep track of what happens in each one you are watching. Even if you watch the same amount of anime, HOW you watch the anime, as a reacter is important. If you just watched Code Geass 1-50 in say 2-4 weeks instead of 24-25 weeks, you'd remember it all better, and could actually focus on one story at a time, I feel that would give you a better viewing experience, and you can view the anime from the characters perspective as well. The Nunally bshing since she was revealed with Schneizel was really out of pocket, you didn't take her perspective into account at all, you just bashed on her as an outsider with all of the information, it was unfair. I still enjoyed your reaction, I just kinda rolled my eyes and skipped any part you started bashing on her because it just felt ignorant. I'm looking forward to Bocchi as it's not as intense of a story, and is a very fun very wholesome experience. Also I'm super glad you picked up Demon Slayer FINALLY.

Golladan

Keep in mind for the future that unless you tell us about a big gap between the episode being recorded and releasing it, we don't actually know that gap exists. This is something that you can possibly include in the description. Something like "I've already watched the next episode" or "This was recorded two weeks ago."

Slyghostchips

Code Geass is my favourite anime all-time, but jeez some people need to touch grass and back off of Luke. Man's allowed to feel a type of way, we can disagree and still voice opinions respectfully. Those 2 things aren't mutually exclusive. I do agree with other comments saying CG is better as a binge watch, a lot of the story feels more unified (imo the last 5 EPs are better viewed together) but that in itself could be criticism of the shows pacing etc. I'm glad that even after last weeks debacle, Luke was able to experience and understand the ending of the series. It sucks that there is bitterness associated with this series for him though. Also I believe when Nunnally touched Lelouchs hand, she saw Lelouchs memories similar to when Suzaku saw the visions when he grabbed C.C Either way, sad that Luke had to experience last weeks BS and it soured his experience on my fave anime, but now we can plow through Vinland Saga 💪💪

Yeah the Dub is solid but ain't no way I wanna miss June fukuyamas brilliant VA as Lelouch. It just isn't the same story

F those guys, but more important is that your reaction is genuine and you're being honest, it is not some exam at school/university and if you miss something you need to be decapitated, not that this is ok there, but that's how it is reality:( On the last part I agree completely with your perspective about Nuna's impact&behaviour without knowing the end. Those, let's call them nasty guys (even that's too light for them) do not think or they can't process the fact you haven't finished this anime at least once, and spoiler alert: it's even better the 2nd time if you'll watch at a considerable amount of time difference. Not to forget: GG man, another completed show! Ty for your dedication, despite of the facts that happened recently! Indeed, Nuna's VA seems very different this episode and Lelouch is a monster for making her to go down the stairs=))) Once orange-boy, always orange-boy! The best ending ever! ALL HAIL ZERO!

That isn't something he's obligated to do. I feel like people getting frustrated in the comments section are acting rather entitled. Luke doesn't have to read any comments, he doesn't have to acknowledge them in anyway, he just does it because he wants to. Anyone getting frustrated that their comment isn't being acknowledged is just being self-entitled.

You should check Lelouch of Ressurection if you want a direct continuation.

FabioSpar
>>139538012

The 4th movie that came out a few years ago supports the idea that Lelouch is alive. Now, obviously the movies are a different timeline, but it's the only timeline where we get a confirmation on whether Lelouch is alive or not. Also, if we assume that Nunnally really saw those flashbacks when she touched Lelouch, we can infer that that's because Lelouch became immortal. Remember how Suzaku and Lelouch also saw flashbacks at times when they touched CC? It may be interpreted in the same way. Just to conclude, the ending is done in way that can be interpreted both ways. Now, it's fine if you want to take it as Lelouch being dead, but those are my thoughts on why I consider him to be alive. It's also interesting to imagine that Lelouch ended up living far from the world's politics, alone with CC.

Hello

Unfortunately This is quite dangerous because the misunderstanding keeps persisting on for several episodes until he finally have time to read the comments. By the time he finished reading the comments and the misunderstandings were cleared up, everyone who watch the reaction already has their fair share of frustrations and feel as if their comments for one ep barely help with his understanding of the next one. And it's natural for the viewer to expect their comments to be acknowledged in one way or another, that's just basic engagement with the viewers that pretty much ALL reactors so, even if they didn't have time to reply to each comment individually. Especially even more so in this case where the majority of the comments are to remind of old info and to clear up misunderstanding so that things make more sense and the reactor could enjoy the series more

It's been confirmed by the creator themselves that when Nunally touched Lelouch's hands, she didn't see anything. That's just their artistic way of expressing it. There was even an interview on it

LunaEmperor

so funnily enough for the ending with C.C. in the actual japanese version of it it actually shows the drivers smiling as she says lelouch which and heres something that you definitly missed is that when charles died he transfered his immortality code to lelouch by touching him making him immortal so thats why hes shown there

yoash barak

FYI There is a movie aftermath, however it follows the continuity of the 3-movie version of the show, and has a few details that are different. Some new scenes, some arcs completely didn't happen, with some consequences derived from it, and enough that is glossed over or never explained in a way the movie version only really makes sense if you saw the series (for example, the entire "how leluch got his memory back" is totally skipped)

Sure, but it's not you who has to try and follow the story for this, it's Luke. And generally I think he's perfectly fine with subs, but as he said himself, with so much happening and in an action packed scene he might not catch what the subtitles said. So if being able to not have to focus on the subtitles for an anime like this one might have had a positive impact to his enjoyment of the story, is it really better that we get June's performance that you enjoy if he ends up disliking the story, or Johnny Yong Bosch's performance if it may mean that Luke ends up enjoying the story more?

syaimaral

I do not recommend the movie because I feel like it destroys the ending. Code geass isn't the best anime ever made, but it was my personal favorite. It draws parallels between season 1 and 2. It shows man's folly, no matter how smart you are, nothing always go to plan. Something unexpected can always happen to throw a wrench into your plans even if you have plans within plans or backup plans. You can even draw the parallel that Lelouch is Jesus Christ. He died for the world's sins, taking all the evil, hatred, war in the world with him. A sacrifice was made for world peace. Also by trying to rule the world through force, people forgot about Euphy's murder rampage. That said, when I first watched the show, I liked season 1 more because I think the school parts in the season 2 and Lelouch being constantly under surveillance were way too restrictive. I don't realistically see how he was able to do so much when so many people had eyes on him even if he can brainwash "some" people. That's a plot hole I'll just conveniently ignore. P.S. Not to mention everyone has their own goal they are striving for and war is just the ultimate manifestation of all their desires butting heads. There are some ideals people will absolutely not give up on or when people wholeheartedly believe they are in the right.

Hello
>>139548258

He stopped several time during the reaction video itself to reread subtitles and checking the background action/details just like how he has been doing with almost every other shows, so I thought he would at least remember what the subtitles text said. Unfortunately he didn't seem to work either

Lumi

I rarely comment or read comments but this time i think this anime is one that explaining comments doesn't make it better seems like in this case is the contrary specially on the ending as it over hypes it. For me this one is of my favorite animes i have watched it like 10 or 20+ times i don`t even remember lol i watched by myself and with friends but i just forced them to watch it or tell them that its really good never told them anything or how good the ending and let them decide most of them loved it too. Also the similarities i found btw leluoch and hittler i only saw them after the 3rd time i watched this so I always tough leloch was good and even tough i knew by the end he was doing bad things i didn't think they were that bad at the time lmao tough i watched this at 14 or 16 years old tough xD So yea maybe you missed some obvious things but everyone is different that was why i think it would have been better if you didn't read comments and did not know anything of this until the end and then re watch it if you wanted to catch everything you could and then ask for everything. Still i only joined patron for Code Geass so iam happy you watch it anyways. My comment for the last episode was going to be different and about the episode itself but seeing your comments about everything going on comments i chose to comment this instead lmao, i have to say i didn't like some of your reactions on the last episodes but i guess there were some reasons like you not watching episodes in marathon or back to back still good watch overall.

The driver was Lelouch. It was cut, but you can see the original scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf4sxmxQF00

Hello

Yeah, that's why I think for the most part he's fine with subtitles. But, as he explained, for a more complex anime that is also action packed (I mean, CG is akin to a deathnote strategy anime with fast pased action scenes) even pausing to read it's very hard to fully absorb all the details for him

Arctic

I really hope you remember to react to the special TK song "Will-iLL" that was made for Code Geass. Also i don't really have an issue with you finding inconsistencies in the anime's plot, its not perfect but it is inspiring. Lelouch made the ultimate sacrifice by becoming the evil dictator because it was the best way he could do something to make the world safer for Nunnally. With Lelouch as dictator Nunally would be safe, yes he was forced to oppose her due to Shinsel's influence on her but he cares for her. Lelouch is a liar and that's why he does things that seam out of character. Nunnally is naive and that is why she does things out of character. At least that's how I rationalize the show. People's true intentions are deep down and that's why the ending is so good. We thought Lelouch was selfish and evil in the end, but he made the ultimate sacrifice. Its a complex series that is not perfect but there is a lot more to Lelouch that you cant just gleam from a single watch even with people pointing things out. Great show and I am glad you at least enjoyed reacting to it!

Daithirian

Sorry the end got soured so much by your audiences reactions. I do hope you look back on it favorably overall. So aafter this there are some other avenues to explore Code Geass more. The Movie series which the first 3 are just retellings of the series with a few tweaks. But overall it pretty much hits the same beats so I'd just check them out in curiousity if anything. The 4th movie though is a sequel set a year or two after brining back most of the cast in a new situation. The title alone is spoilery. There is also a side story series Akito the Exiled, set in the European continent as their forces resist Britanian forces. It's set between the 1st and 2nd seasons of the main series but other than a few cameos that bring more questions than answers, I honestly say skip it. But that brings us to the now. A new movie/series is releasing soon on Disney + called Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture has started set some time after the 4th movie. It seems to focus on a new cast but there have been references made to the old and only it's 1st part has hit Japanese theaters yet. I'm hoping for some good new content in the Geass world. But it was fun watching the ups and downs of the series with you Luke.

George McCall

I believe it has been stated by the author that Lelouch is in fact dead. I personally prefer the fan theories that hes alive though but sadly.

Juho Kaartoaho
>>139551594

Yep, they remade the story and shat on the fan theorys if Lelouch could somehow be alive, just so that they could make more of it since we all know that the show would not perform without him.

Hello

There's a reason why they only made the sequel 10 years after R2, and as an AU as well

Hopefully the people in comments will chill a bit now that CG is over. I swear sometimes people forget that the person behind the screen is a real human being and that throwing a dollar at them a month does not in fact make them entitled to dictate how they should do their content. I've read some of the comments and completely disagree with the ones saying you're watching to many anime to fully enjoy them. I think you're doing really great at keeping track of everything and paying attention! Honestly, you're the only streamer I've seen actually pause and rewind to make sure you don't miss anything! Obviously when you've already watched a show, you'll notice a lot more details, so maybe people just forget that it's not always easy to figure some things out when you're just watching it for the first time. Or that your opinions on things can change with a different perspective. Please keep doing you, and remember that rude people are almost never the majority, they're just the loudest, especially because they feel the need to comment under every single message that disagree with them. Your honest reactions are the best, don't change anything! (not going to read any potential replies btw, I'm not here for the drama)

Juandormo

Well, it is up for debate. Most of us believe he isn't Lelouch, one theory is that CC just talks to him in a metaphysical way, like she did previously with Marianne.

Dave M

You're the man, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

M Ko

Luke, regarding what you said about pre-recording stuff sometimes way in advance. If that happens, do you maybe rewatch the previous episode, before heading into the next one? That could explain some of the confusion you were facing. Anyway, yeah, last week was pretty insane, let's not repeat it. Keep it up ♡ Now to watch to see if you like the ending or not.

Dasher

I forgot to comment it last time, but regarding Nunnally getting back in her chair to do the epic reveal, just shows that she is truly Lelouch's sister, with the same flair for the dramatic ;P Lelouch being alive is one of the most debated fan theories that made so much sense for Lelouch's character that even the authors rebuking it wasn't enough to completely disperse it. The reasoning basically goes like this: - In Lelouch's final battle against Charles, Lelouch's Geass evolves to be strong enough to kill Code user and take their Code, like Charles did to V.V., and when Charles grabs Lelouch's neck with his Code bearing hand, Lelouch takes away his Code by obliterating his hand, and becomes immortal like C.C. - Jeremiah is in on the Zero Requiem plan (a fact, not a part of the theory), and would take Lelouch's body away after he is "killed". - The whole thing of chaining and parading Nunnally like that is so that once he stumbles and falls towards her, on contact he could project his memories, like C.C. did a few times in Season 1 whenever someone touched her, so those visions Nunnally was seeing would be literal. That way he could disappear and despite the world hating him, it would be enough that Nunnally alone would truly understand why he did what he did. - He would then go on to live with C.C. in obscurity, giving her a reason to live on like he promised and keep each other company forever as the two immortals, making it so that she did address Lelouch who was driving the cart in the end, literally, like you thought. The only weakness in that theory is that Code user loses their ability to use their original Geass power, but it could be argued that either through the strength of Lelouch's will or some C's world fuckery he got to keep both.

John

Well I'm glad it's over, I don't mean for this comment to be rude but maybe it will come off that way. You said in this reaction "I would've enjoyed and liked this anime a lot more, I would've even cried in the last episode but the comments ruined it for me and left me feeling bittersweet about it" and I knew you were going into this episode with the feeling of, let's just get this shit over with and a disdain for it. Earlier in the reaction you said "I go into anime without needing the use of comments, as a first time watcher, I don't need comments the anime should explain everything for me" when the reality is the whole thing is your fault and the anime DOES explain everything, maybe it's because you are a reactor or watching it in subbed, but you are blaming the anime because you couldn't fully focus on the text and writing of the show and not understand the nuances and reasoning behind certain events and characters motivations which are deliberately explained in the writing. I understand it's your first time watching, but the comments reacted the way you did because of one single line you said - "I don't care even if people explain it to me, don't bother" if you hadn't said that none of this would've happened, yet again you blame the comments and the anime instead of yourself for not being able to just focus on the information the anime is giving out. The comments only started explaining because you couldn't understand it or weren't fully focusing which is not the anime's fault, yet again in this episode you blamed the anime. I have enjoyed most of the reactions to this anime, but you self inflicted a wound and then blamed everyone else and this awesome show which left, just like you said, a bad taste in my mouth. Even in this final episode in the very end you admit you would've liked the show a lot more if it weren't for the comments which all started from your own ego, and that is enough for me to no longer support this patreon, not that you actually care since all you see is just a $$.

Markus Wallin

I have loved year reactions to this and other shows. I loved your takes. And I too did not love season 2 originally, but when I watched it again every clicked better and I loved it and the ending.

teenkikin

Congrats on your finale of Code Geass! I'm glad that you kept your genuine reactions, as always, and that you had mixed feelings about the ending. This ending dropped long before AoT and so many anime fans referred to AoT ending as "Eren Requiem" with respect to Code Geass. I find the show so real in depicting the reality (and luring out the reactions) about how "war" never leaves from people's minds, including the anime fandom.

Yami Shoumetsu

You know who suddenly flipped like Nunally like what you are saying? Canute from Vinland Saga. Canute is actually even more strange if you think about it as his change from being a useless coward to a brave leader happened in a span of few minutes while they are trying to escape Thorkell's army. Here, they have days if not months to gaslight Nunally about things that will make her hate Lelouch. This comparison is a bit of a stretch but hopefully it does show you that such changes in character is indeed possible.

Markus

1: I'm really happy you're being honest in your reactions and not deceiving people with fake enjoyment just to appease everyone. 2: Please do not watch the movies. They completely ruin the lore by rewriting what happened in this show. It will do more harm than good to watch them.

Zero

I’m just glad you liked code Geass even if you won’t react to the movie😂

Antoine Jones

She wasnt talking to the driver, her eyes remained at the sky, she was obviously speaking to the heavens, that guy doesnt even look like hes Lelouch's build, unless Lelouch was hitting the gym seriously

nah dont just stop in this ,you doesnt hear what luke says ,because comment drama before this last Eps Luke like has lost feeling with this anime because some fanatic code geass who rude to luke so if you force Luke to watch the movie i think the reaction will dissapointed to watch or just give luke time maybe in some month later recommend it again

Whammadoodoo

Hey Luke, you’ve been doing this reaction thing for a while now. You know how rude the internet can be. Do you still blame everything on toxic commenters, or do you realize what you did that led to this situation? You’re entitled to your own opinion, absolutely! No one should be bullied for their opinion, absolutely! But your choice of words were careless and foolish, and that has consequences. You’re like sailor who chose to go sailing on the Atlantic with a shoddy paddleboat and blames the ocean for being too rough. You’re entitled to your choice of vessel (opinion). The ocean (internet) isn’t obligated to respond positively to it. Your choices led to this outcome. If you didn’t learn from that, then this has really all been a waste of time for everybody. I pray you did.

I agree with 90% of this comment. I'm so sad it ended with him being "over it" basically. Bad vibes all around

Pale

for all of you guys who watched code geass along with me when it was coming out, do you all remember this AMV? it made me cry so much along the years and it resurfaced now again thanks to Luke's watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFy4bBEnh8M

kloos

Thank you for your reactions, I loved them. This is one of my favorites shows and maybe in the future you can watch it again, it is one of those shows that you can watch several times. I hope that you can watch Clannad in the future I know you are going to feel that show, because is a show about Family, and we can cry together.

打音玖珠

So refreshing to see someone give their honest opinions, especially about a show with so many avid fans filled with nostalgia who can't see that it is a very flawed show overall. Code Geass would flop so hard if it came out today

Pale
>>139562226

Nah man, people overreacted, please all of you who got really upset at him go touch some grass. You all need to chill down a bit, Luke has been drilled before with other reactions but not in such a rude way People could have said "don't say you won't change your opinion that's dumb" but instead some decided to turn the comment section into a minefield... and I agree with him feeling deflated on the ending not because of the show's fault but because people took it way too personally.

Alixia

Yes this is my favorite anime and I'm allowed to be frustrated with his reaction. I feel all the frustrated comments got grouped up with the rude comments. Luke missed a lot of things that made him lose track of the plot, which is unfortunate and ruined the reaction to the last episode . I just .. I don't even know ... Should be have at least apologize for the way he said " don't bother comment" , but he's also just reacting genuinely, which is why we are here for ... Eh It's done I guess.

Karen Porter

I also thought what you though about the ending for a split moment lol, and I have seen this anime in full before so... Don't feel bad. Now we need you to react to other, actual CLAMP stories, or at least their openings. CLAMP designed the characters for this series but didn't write the script. They're amazing when it's all their work too.

Again, name a show that is perfect from the beginning to ending before saying shit

Zero
>>139565684

Oh no yeah for sure but it’s still a great movie so I was hoping he would watch it

Rora Raven

Ending is ambiguous, you can believe either way, but one theory: 1. Charles with his fully evolved Geass kills V.V. and thus takes his Code (Immortality). 2. Lelouch with his fully evolved Geass kills Charles and thus takes his Code, and so becomes immortal. 3. Lelouch now has the Code from Charles, and since C.C. is still alive, keeps the Geass from her too, thus achieving Code Geass. 4. Lelouch and C.C. go off into the sunset to spend eternity together.

Hector
>>139576637

He explained already though, about watching a few episodes ahead being unable to read comments

Alixia

Paraphrase: " if everyone just didn't have an opinion on my reaction and expressed it in the comments, it would've been better " 😮‍💨

Hector
>>139549869

@ninety90 you don't know what community management means

Mason D

For me, I always thought the end was her talking to Lelouch in the "realm of souls" since she is connected to it and considering her connection to Lelouch.

Subaquatic Toaster
>>139562226

Pale, please for the love of God go and actually read the comments on that video. The vast vast majority are respectful but greatly disappointed and if anything maybe a bit doomer-ish about what the reaction to ep 25 would look like. The comment section only became a minefield after people came in without context and decided we were all being horrible people over reacting because "Luke no like anime enough". When in reality we were upset that very basic things were being missed and then were told not to the even bother commenting about those missed aspects because it wouldn't matter. That genuine criticism that we had is now being distorted because of quite literally one or two people.

Subaquatic Toaster
>>139576637

That doesn't excuse him literally telling people not to even bother. Doesn't matter if it's ahead of time, it's still rude and disrespectful to tell people trying to explain answers to questions he is asking to not even bother because it won't matter. And honestly its worse to strawman those criticisms as people being mean because he didn't like the show enough or something. It tells me that the reason people got pissed in the first place was completely glossed over

Exter
>>139562226

Honestly, I got much more annoyed with the random people coming over and calling the commenters horrible and ungrateful people than with Luke's actual reaction. There were so many long comments there that were respectful and took the time out of their day to explain the whole Nunnaly thing to Luke that were put into the same "pot" with the actual hateful comments (that were a minority). I'm not even one of the people who wrote these (often times several paragraph long) comments but it makes me really sad to see them being labeled as haters by people who didn't watch even a single episode of this reaction series.

Alixia
>>139576637

Yes exactly, it feels like acknowledging the hate comments, but not the rightfully (imo) annoyed people is just a way to not respond to our criticism. I still think his comment was rude to all the people that left comments trying to engage with his reaction. I'm surprised he didn't respond to that

Zer0

The way I took the ending with C.C. was she was talking to Lelouch like she was talking to Marianne early on in the series.

FlyingEagle
>>139535737

nothing is confirmed, but I lean strongly to her talking to a physical Lelouch

Sean
>>139577792

But when immortal they tend to heal pretty quickly, be hard to hide that

Abraham Perez

Oh Luke, that ending is meant to annoy you, you weren't the only one to feel that way lol

Hello
>>139549869

I haven't seen a single reactor who doesn't do community management lol. That's pretty much part of this job.

Sean
>>139576092

Watched this on Toonami 15 years ago, loved it then. Rewatched it again with Luke's reaction and I still love it. What is so flawed about it to you?

Sean
>>139566394

They definitely covered the guy head to toe to make it look suspicious

Abraham Perez

All Hail Emperor Lelouch!

Sean
>>139563297

Except we were hoping that Eren was going to go full Lelouch, but he went a little past that.

Sean
>>139562058

That was when his power actually increases and the geass appeared in both eyes

Hello
>>139578073

Yeah that left an icky after taste too. The way people jumping in to R2 ep24 reaction attacking the people there is already without knowing the context whatever makes it feel like this incident was handled quite badly, as if everything is due to everyone being an ass for not liking CG( some were being an ass no doubt about that, but most aren't and have a reason for it too, but hey the reason for the frustration was never mention in that general post). Him blaming the comment section like this, oh well what to say. We're pretty much here to see him react and expressed our feelings on him reaction, and had community management been done better, it wouldn't have turned out like this

RZ

Hello LUKE! Congratulations on the safe end of your Code Geass journey! I hope this anime is a special one for you. There is a saying that everyone is different, and this applies not only to the characters in the work, but also to us, the viewers. It is natural that there are different understandings of the same work and the same characters. This is a selfish thought, but in order to create a first reaction, you have to watch the work while stopping from time to time to give your thoughts and impressions, so I think it is more difficult than watching the work in silence in your private time. If you have private time, please enjoy Code Geass again. From now on, it is only my personal opinion. First of all, to answer the question in the title, what Nunnally is doing is the same as Lelouch and Suzaku. It is not Zero's Requiem, but Nunnally's Requiem. It is a brother and sister as you would expect. As for the character Nunnally, in S1 she was always protected, and even in S2 she did not actively participate in the fight at first, she always feel like a gentle bird in a cage and can't know what happened about Lelouch. Even in the final war, it is not shown how Schneizel and the others managed to tame her, so it is inevitable that we cannot understand her sudden change. To put it simply, she was deceived by Schneizel and lied by Lelouch, believed Lelouch to be evil, and wanted to stop him, but struggled to see what she, a weak person, could do, and finally came to the same answer as her brother Lelouch, although they were on different sides. I think I first saw this work around 2009. I wasn't in Japan, but it seems that Code Geass was a social topic at the time. Lelouch and C.C. were extremely popular during the broadcast. Lelouch's death at the end caused a huge controversy among fans. I also hoped that he would survive in some way, but I kept convincing myself that I should accept this ending because it was his wish. Since the end of Code Geass S2, several spin-off movies have been released, and if you have time, I think it would be worth watching them. And! In 2019, a movie about the story after S2 was finally released after 12 years. I went to Japan and watched this movie, which I had been waiting for for 10 years, at a local cinema with trembling heart. What on earth happened in the story after Lelouch's death!? Sorry for the long comment.

Hello
>>139576637

Especially even so when he recorded several ahead without reading the comments after each, people putting in effort long ass comments in hope of clearing misunderstanding and for him to enjoy the NEXT episode better, saw that the misunderstanding persisted over a couple more episodes, felt frustrated -> that comment was a final straw to all the built up frustration. But well this is never mentioned in that general post about Code Geass so now all CG fans now end up being the childish bad guys who hate on Luke unreasonably just because he didn't like the anime..the way this was handled really bothered me

Sean
>>139550142

I watched this originally on Toonami weekly, had no problem taking it all in

Fernando

Once again y'all need to relax. Getting frustrated an butt hurt over nothing is so dumb. Even for insistent man-babies like yourselves. Demanding an apology because he correctly assumed y'all would yell at him over having a ( super valid) opinion about not liking aspects of a fairly flawed show is just childish and, frankly, annoying. If anything he has been almost too nice to people like y'all by trying to pacify and debate you rather then flat out ignore you.

Alixia
>>139588663

Responding to people expressing their frustation by being rude when rude comments where the problem in the first place 😬

Lichmourne

Sticking to my opinion that Luke should have watched the EN dub. For me it was a far better experience than the JP sub. At least listen to the "Obey me world" speech in EN. Its soo good.

Fernando
>>139588663

Wow what a good come back! “I can be a huge rude asshat all I want but the second someone says something I don’t like they are being the bad guy” Jesus grow up

Jason Kong

I only watched the intro of this video, but I appreciate how Luke handles it well! Remember everyone, if Luke got upset and no longer enjoy doing these reaction, than what's the point of arguing? You can't make someone happy by winning the fight. That's now how we make someone fall in love with something.

thatguyzacho

YOU NEEEEED TO WATCH THE MOVIE

Blitz Cam

For intro, Lelouch is obsessed with Nunally and giving her a good life. He has hated when he has lied to her, when Schneizel videoed in with Nunally, Lelouch's hands were visibly shaking, but he tried to maintain a straight face to not appear weak, but even more so to appear as much as possible as the ruthless dictator you see here in episode 25. Well, just wanted to add if no one else did. Again knowing how everything wraps up, some of the weird/inconsistent parts make more sense on a rewatch. Still, the show isn't perfect, but I enjoy the story enough to consider it my favorite anime, or at minimum my top 5. But there are several other great anime with even better stories as well. All personal preference.

Blitz Cam

And yeah, if at some point you choose to rewatch the series on your own time, I highly recommend the English dub. Some great VAs, and also can catch a few things easier when not having to focus on reading subtitles. Sub is great for anyone who watches that, but dialogue story driven anime like Code Geass can be easier to keep up with everything when you can understand the language audibly.

Blitz Cam

Sorry one last thing, about episodes 23, 24, and 25. Ideally best case would've been maybe just episode 23 last week, and 24 and 25 this week. I think 23 wrapped up at a good point, but yeah 25 directly follows 24. Not too big a deal, and seeing as how it's finished now, it's too late. All good. Maybe if possible can try to get an audience prospective on how best to group episodes. At least for me, ideally you(the content creator) have the best grouping of when episodes are watched together for your enjoyment. When the episodes are released comes second to that. (It's worth the wait if the reaction ends up that much better.) Anyways enjoy the reactions, felt I had to share my thoughts.

wildhunt1973

I know you plan to watch the movie, which you should, but the only cavat is that the movie takes place after the two Code Geass movies that recap seasons 1 and 2 with slight changes. I enjoyed the movie on its own, having never seen the recaps, but I did have a few questions.

Solar

SUPER IMPORTANT: check out the secret ending. for some reason there were 2 endings of the show. one only shown on Japanese tv when the show was released and another was shown everywhere else. I'm surprised no one in the comments has mentioned it. if it adds confusion than the reply to this comment will explain it.

Solar
>>139594349

The guy driving the cart is lelouch. The show doesn't explain how he survived but the explanation that makes the most sense to me is that when Lelouch made the Emporer dissapear in C's world his code that made him immortal went to lelouch. this would also explain why Nunally saw Lelouches memories when she touched him. If you remember earlier in the series something similar happened to both Suzaku and Lelouch when they touches CC. It's also possible that Lelouch didn't know he stole the code and didn't realize he was immortal.

Hello

There's no such thing as a secret Japanese aired only ending as mentioned in some of the comments here. It's a FAKE edit. The TBS tv station channel logo is not even shown ( because the person editing it probably scared of being sued lol), the drawing were sloppy and even pixelated. Even the Japanese fandom never talked about this ending. They also could only speculate the Lelouch might somehow be alive at the end but no one is 100% sure, and no one even talked about the "Japanese only" ending. it's FAKE and debunked like 10 years ago

Juan Pablo Rivacoba
>>139594349

the creator of the manga said in an interview that lelouch indeed died. that is the way it is supposed to go, the alternate ending its just not following the manga so they remade it. the movies obviously are alternate realities. but both the manga creator and the anime director have said that he indeed died.

Hiruman
>>139594349

Stop spreading misinformation my friend. There's no such thing as secret ending. There's a "sequel" That is the resurrection movie, but that's not canon to the tv series.

BRUNO Marques

It's kind of sad that Luke is not capable of understanding anything if it isn't explicitly said. Takes everything at face value. Kinda ruins the reaction imo. I never want him to react to eva or monogatari, he just isn't capable of appreciating it.

Byokko

43:46 this is probably something you've missed When Nana told Lulu about her wanting to gather all the hatred of the world focusing it on herself, Lulu commented offhandedly that they both were thinking the same thing In the end Lulu did exactly that. Gathering all the hatred and let it die with him. Another thing you might have missed. Nana didn't know she killed tons of innocent ppl, for Schneizel lied to her, telling her the ppl were evacuated before her firing. She did all this because she'd rather do it herself than her brother doing all these "evil" things. About the "symbolic" thing of her touching Lulus hand. Keep in mind the Anime is the original (not an adaptation). There is a Manga with an alternate timeline, where Nana was also in the EP1 incident, and she also got a geass by accident, which lets her see memories of people by touching them. So this scene can be both just visualizing her realizing, and her actually seeing it. The very end, is specifically like that, there was a huge vs debate happening, between ppl saying Lulu was dead, and those who didn't. Because I love Lulu so much, I was one of those refusing to say he died, arguing, that he got the Code from CC, finally fulfilling the contract (making her mortal thus able to die) and in turn he turned immortal. I also think it's one of those anime that gets better the more you watch it/understand, i love rewatching it Special shoutout to the insert song playing in the final: "Continued Stories" (again by Hitomi) - remember how in the first season the dominant insert song used was called "Stories" I love the naming of the songs, how they are used and ofc the songs themselves. I feel like they never get any/much attention.

Hello
>>139598788

I'm curious if he would ever react to Eva...Code Geass is already very straight forward as compared to Eva so it would be interesting to see if he ever reacts to it. Well this has been an experience and I hope it will get better in the future

Hello
>>139542001

Appreciate your summary of all Lelouch's evil doings. He was pushing for a righteous cause, but we needed to admit that he did some fucked up stuff, and even the creator themselves said that he was only considered a hero because he wanted to take responsibility for all this shit he had done

Hello
>>139539014

They even had a series of tweets saying that the intention from the very beginning was to end Lelouch's story with "Death". Even in the movie AU timeline, technically he died still and Cc had to go through the trouble to resurrect him

Subaquatic Toaster
>>139588663

Comments like this are why people are still talking about what happened with episode 24. Being "butt hurt" or "being man babies over having an opinion" is objectively inaccurate. Next to no one was upset because Luke didn't enjoy Code Geass enough. People were upset because he was asking for explanations, then said he'd essentially ignore those explanations because it wouldn't change his mind; telling us "don't bother commenting." People put a lot of effort into trying to point out things that were missed to Luke could enjoy the show better. But since that whole thing wasn't addressed; instead just referring to all of us as people posting rude comments, we have people like you saying everyone was just being " man babies" and demanding an apology? For what? I don't want an apology from Luke, I would like to stop seeing these sorts of incredibly dismissive and rude comments to people who also support Luke and just wanted to improve the viewing experience by answering questions that were asked. Sounds like you might need to relax a bit and analyze the actual situation that happened instead of making a ton of false assumptions. You're not Luke's white knight and that applies to everyone who has been posting these comments that were far far ruder anything said about Luke.

Heiron

Yes that ending drove people insane lol and there was war about Lelouch is alive or not but if I remember correctly the makers of CG confirmed that he did died (guys correct me if I am wrong). Also I only recommend you the 4th movie for reaction if you really liked Lelouch and want to see him with C.C. because the makers didn't wanted to touch the ending so they made those movies as a what if continuation. The first 3 movies are recap with some changes so you can watch that on your own. The 4th movie is the continuation of the story of Lelouch. I loved your reaction even tho I didn't agreed with you on some stuff but honestly that's makes watching reactions good.

JR

Luke hit the debate the Code Geass fandom had for years after Lelouch's death. Whether the driver was him or not. xD You've prob seen other comments talk about it but there were theories Lelouch took Charles' Code of immortality when he killed his parents so he never really died here. The truth was it was left ambiguous and up for interpretation by the viewer, but I think most accept his death at the end. If you consider the movie afterwards, just know that its the "third" movie after essentially two recap movies for the series, but in those recaps they do change a few major events to set up the third. These changes are why it is not considered canon to the main series, but more of a "what if" sequel story. It was a fun watch for extra Code Geass content and enjoying seeing the characters again but it's nothing too crazy, so don't worry about taking a break before considering it. It won't be a game changer on any opinions on the series. Overall thank you for your reaction to Code Geass Luke, I can understand the frustrations of reacting to the series for the first time, and I'm sorry you've had to deal with some horrible people in trying to enjoy and understand it. All things considered, I've still liked watching your reactions every week!

Harley Burnie

I think I get where the "How can you back Lelouch" thing comes from. Likely, it pertains to what most folks believed the anime WANTS you to feel about him, no? The series desperately wants you to abhor his actions and pity his betrayed friends and comrades. I can't imagine having an issue with choosing Lelouch over Blondie. You did think Blondie might be nice, but we never "supported" him.

Harley Burnie

I think this intro was very good. I believe EVERY reacter such come out and express their unspoken feelings or at least clear up things every so often. I point out a bunch of things that Luke or any reacter screws up or misses, but I sure as hell don't want them to feel talked down to. It's discourse, and unfortunately, it's one-sided usually. I adore it when reacters talked about what they learned in previous comments on in chat. This newer dude, Delivery Mat, does that every video, and it's awesome.

Diffy
>>139562226

I guess it is a good thing he is going to react to Demon Slayer. That show has basically no plot so when he doesn't bother to pay attention to the subtitles, he isn't going to miss much, unlike this show.

Harley Burnie

I certainly look forward to the movie reaction. Lots of people trash it or focus on the totally disjointed storyline, but in a weird ass world with Geass, witches, mechs, etc., it doesn't take a lot of effort for me to suspend disbelief. And, it's really fun! More C.C.!!!

Harley Burnie

Damn. Nunnuly's screams still grt me tearing up. Also, I realized this time how much her "visions" could be her "seeing" them or her doing the calculus of what Lelouch had been doing the whole time. Also, that Enya-ish OST playing at the end is still purely mixed heartache and joy.

Harley Burnie

37:18 Luke. That sigh said EVERYTHING. Code Geass's finale, perfectly reacted to. 40:52 Yeah, I just never considered that driver to be possibly Lelouch. That death scene gave me what I needed to believe. Not off-screened. Not chuckling from the shadows. Not ambiguous in any way. I thought, "Well, C.C. is probably gonna be chatting with Lelouch for thw rest of her days. He was the anomaly that changed what she wished for. Totally unfair to leave her immortal ass all alone, but...."

Chalex
>>139598788

Man, shit like this is exactly what ruined CG for him. Jesus he has a job to do, a ton of animes to watch and he’s watching 1-2 episodes at a time at best. You’ve had the luxury that this anime has been around for 20 years so it’s been hella discussed, prolly rewatched it lord knows how many times and have discussed it with other people. It’s a hard anime to follow too because there’s always stuff in the background, hidden motivations, everyone lies all the time and the only way to know what’s what is to go back and watch it again. I too hope he never reacts to those anime so he doesn’t have to deal with this shit, instead of being supportive you’re just sitting on your ass criticizing.

Chalex
>>139578073

There’s a difference between having an opinion and being twats. People were being twats. If you paid attention to what he’s now implied twice (in the post last week and today) people reached out directly to him saying god knows what (ironic because he got flak for not reading between the lines enough). He even takes the time to go into detail on why and how it all happened and y’all still stay stuff like this. Any other reactor would have just said fuck you and moved on. Stop acting like you have some moral high ground regarding criticism when you can’t even properly understand what he’s explicitly saying.

Chalex
>>139576637

Y’all really gotta stop taking everything so personally. People have different approaches to media and something we’ve all seen in any show is that Luke likes to think in terms of good guys/bad guys and he likes the heavy dramas. Since Day 1 a ball of shit started rolling that culminated now. Shit happened and he had to do a bunch of reactions together, the weeks he was sick, he missed a ton of stuff in other reactions as well. He approached this reaction as any other but people kept taking shit personally and getting upset. It’s his right to say comment all you want but I won’t change my mind, you sure as shit wouldn’t. And I completely agree that don’t bother commenting if you’re just gonna rag on how he didn’t like the ending enough or how he missed things. It happens in every god damn reaction he’s done, but for Code Geass people kept getting personally offended for whatever reason. Hell I love this show and now I love it less seeing the fanbase that has been represented in these last few episodes.

Chalex
>>139574920

Have you even seen his other reactions? He had the exact same approach as he did with Dr Stone, Hunter x Hunter, Bunny Girl, Overlord, etc. The same issues come up in those as well, he mixes up names, misses details, forgets shit that happened two episodes ago. Because he is a human doing 20 things at once. The difference in your metaphor was that the ocean got upset that he didn’t bring a luxury yacht and decided to ruin his voyage because it felt disrespected about not getting different treatment. Is Code Geass a way rougher sea than Bunny Girl Senpai? Yup. Should he have done anything differently because of that? Nope. Because let’s be honest, who the fuck cares if he didn’t understand every tiny detail? He had questions and asked them but shit happened and he didn’t read your comment that took 3 hrs to compose? Tough shit pal. Just as you have a right to write that comment and shower us all with your endless knowledge about every fine detail about this show, he has a right to not read it because he’s busier than he thought he was gonna be when he asked the question.

Chalex

Glad to see you overall enjoyed the show. Code Geass takes the Nostalgia spot in my Top 5 but am sad at how a vocal minority treated you and how that affected the outcome. The type and cause for the negative comments speak more about the commenters than it does about you.

Fuzzi

One the carriage driver: TL;DR: after the ending first aired there were some theories how Lelouch might still be alive but the writers confirmed that Lelouch is dead. The sequel movie takes place after the recap movies which changes some details, so both the recap movies and the sequel movies are basically an alternate timeline and concerning the original anime Lelouch is officially dead as per "word of god". longer version: this has been a heavily debated thing in code geass fandom for a while after the end of the show. There was a popular Theory that Lelouch took his fathers code when he killed him. the theory was that for the code to activate he has to die first (Charles shot himself after lelouch used his geass on him and C.C. was seen in a pool of blood with a scar on her chest after the Nun gave her the code). Thus Lelouch might still be alive and indeed be that Carriage driver. There were even some "deleted" ending scenes with after C.C. spoke the last sentence showing lelouch smirking under the hat the carriage driver was wearing, but i'm 90% sure those were fakes. Another fun thought was that Lelouch might not have lost his Geass after receiving it from his father because the person he made the contract for his geass with (C.C.) still has the power of her code combined with how the code bearers have initials as names (C.C. and V.V.) would make Lelouch Lamperouge into either L.L or R.R. (given how Japanese is with the Ls and Rs) with how these Initials are pronounced in the anime (C.C. is pronounced as C2 and V.V. as V2) this could mean that Lelouch has both Code and Geass as well as the initials R.R and would turn Lelouch into "Code Geass R2" which is the title of the second season. but after a few years the Makers of Code Geass confirmed through "Word of God" that Lelouch was indeed dead. i personally believe they purposefully left that option open in case they wanted to make a sequel, but when after a few years it didn't look like there would be any sequel they declared him officially dead because it might otherwise take away from the ending. Later they made a sequel movie, but because the ending was at that point basically set in stone (and probably because they wanted to milk the cash cow again) they made 3 Recap movies covering the anime with some Differences, the most major one being Shirley not dying. and the Sequel movie takes place after those recap movies. So the official ending of the show is still that Lelouch died.

Hikaru Kamiki

The only answer in the end scene already in 2019 movie. Hope you can react to it soon.

DOCTORMAN

All I can say is Thankyou Luke your reactions have been amazing through the love an hate and the ups and downs its been great and I've loved the new perspective on an age old show. -Only complaint being it's Cee.Two in pronunciation not Cee.Cee- your forgiven though. Plus a gap from series to movie is perfect after all we had to wait years from the end of the series to get such an interesting take of a continuation movie, that said please watch it within the next 3-6 month's haha.

Sebastian C. Winding
>>139574920

Chalex, I've read some of your comments on other posts now, and I'm not sure if you truly don't understand the OP, or if you actively refuse to find common ground in this situation. You are right he does not need to read the comments, he has a "right" to choose to do so. The same could be said to the store owner that has the "right" to not wake up that day and open his store to sell his products to earn a living. I'll not beat around the bush, my point is that Luke is an entertainer, he deals with people for his living now, and how amazing it is that he can monetise on his interest and hobby❤️❤️. But still everybody in the entertainment, (or in a position of power that is directed towards many people) should be more mindful of their words because they carry weight with audiences or even people. People are different but nobody would like to be neglected, and all humans seek validation in different ways and amounts. He can still be honest and genuine "AND" still be mindful of his words, that is my opinion and you are free to disagree. In the end, it does not matter if he misses stuff, reads it wrong or have a different opinion, the art of being a good entertainer is to communicate well, and he did fail in some aspect leading to this uproar. To be fair, it's not a massive mistake, but still one that could have been avoided. I'm more glad that he experienced this now, because the internet is not always a nice place far from it! I hope he reflects upon what lead to this as the OP said and not be dismissive about it. For yes maybe the "rude" 10% were the most loud and were not acceptable as a way of communication in any way, that doesn't mean that none in the 90% were dissatisfied but still kept a civil tone. And I'm not talking about differing opinion here being the dissatisfaction, just to be clear about that!!! Well I wish you nevertheless still a good day Chalex, even if I disagree with you in some aspects and agree in others😁.

A fact that most ppl dun know, Xingke dead form his illness shortly after zero requiem as you look at Ohgi wedding picture you can see the empress and her guard(Xingke second in commander ) but Xingke is not, like wise the scene where Nannally and Ohgi handshake the pilot of Shen Hu change to the big guy who work for Xingke

@Hello Yeah, you can't monetise your interest without community management

Hector
>>139550142

I couldn't take it all in at my first watch though

Hello
>>139549869

Why should Luke be skipping this when literally everyone else is doing it, and doing it well even? Of course he has the option to skip community management, and this incident is the result. This job is pretty much an entertainer where you need to manage people and your image while ofc staying true to yourself and have your own authenticity. You can't just do anything you want without any considerations for the viewers while expecting to make money from the viewers themselves

This Guy

People really be watching a reaction channel and flames the poor man just for having his own genuine reaction that arent similar to theirs. As always, love your reactions and cant wait for the next patreon exclusive!

"It's kind of sad that Luke is not capable of understanding anything if it isn't explicitly said." People who talk like that can't see that they are being extremely rude? Why would anyone want to engage with someone who insults them on a personal level?

Roosp
>>139576637

He (and many, many people online) have said "Don't @ me" numerous times. What he said is the same idea. As people understand hyperbole, most people online don't fly off the handle. In this case, however, people were upset before he said that, and people when upset love to take a small line that as literally as possible, and it gives them justification to wallow in it, and they have for days and days and days and days and days off of one sentence said when someone was already in a not good mood to begin with. I've seen here versions of "It's kind of sad that Luke is not capable of understanding anything if it isn't explicitly said." And worse. I hope everyone who is upset about him saying "Don't bother Commenting" are taking those statements EXACTLY as literally, and are also speaking out against, and specifically TO those people who are choosing to make PERSONAL insults against him, since they are so invested in how the words people say have effect on people.

the movie is alternative ending.. it's canon

Nik

dead being hated by all the world.. that's fcking sad

Karina ~ Stirret

Thank you for your reactions. I really enjoyed em. I hope you watch the movie, some people don't like it because think that change the masterpiece of this ending, but as many say, take it as an alternative ending. I think you would enjoy it

Zero2Antihero

Thanks for all the reactions! I hope you'll get the opportunity to watch Code Geass again someday with another person, free from commenters, and get to be the one "in the know," just absorbing all the supporting details. A lot happens in this show. There are so many little details and it can be super satisfying to go back to the beginning, see the starting position of each piece on the board, and hear the first time Lelouch says those words: "The only ones who kill are those prepared to be killed" now fully understanding what that meant to him.

When I post a comment on a YouTube video, Patreon video, Twitch chat, etc. I do so with the *hope* of acknowledgement, not the *expectation* of acknowledgement. If my comment doesn't get acknowledged, I might be disappointed, but I would never get angry at the creator. Reaction channels aren't special in this regard. Luke posts his reaction videos, we pay to see them. We also pay for the privilege of voting on the Patreon polls and various other stuff. We do not pay for the right to have our comments acknowledged, just the right to post them. Community management is necessary to keep a community in check. More problematic communities require more effort to manage. If the community gets upset over something like this, that makes it more problematic than one that doesn't. Going in with the right expectations makes the community easier to manage. I'd rather not add more stress to Luke's work by asking him to accommodate us like this.

Josh Folk

Stop hating on Luke, he's a homie. If someone doesn't like something, they don't like oh well. I appreciate him sticking with it for the end.

ヒロ 叶川

This intro and your opinion about everything makes me feel better, and I apologized for the rude comment that I made previously. Whenever you feel like in the mood, there're movies out there to watch, you'll get to know what's happen after the ending. And also not to forget the spin off OVA's and upcoming Code Geass film/ova's. As for the ending, from an anime franchaise perspective it is actually good. Even when the anime ended, people will still discuss about who's that guy is. It kinda keep the entire franchaise "alive" when the show is over. There're a lot of spin off manga, games, etc been made after so many years. It is one of Sunrise's most successful mecha anime out there.

I think both your critisisms as well as the counter arguements in the comments - most of it was understandable. Like i could see where everything was coming from. Sucks that some people got too much into it and i definitely didn't even consider that people contact you privately over not liking your reactions wtf. Anyways, as a long term viewer i really liked that you voiced your critisism. If anything, it shows that you are, as you claim, genuine with your reactions. And that's definitely one thing i'm really looking for. Any way you angle it, i see this as a W. And as a fan of code geass it was nice rewatching it anyways.

CharonMendus

I'm sorry that anime fans, like usual, couldn't contain themselves at someone having a different opinion than them last week and ruined a bit of the ending for you. I do hope when you look this show in the future, they won't dampen how you feel about Code Geass. And no, that wasn't Lelouch LOL.

CharonMendus

If you do decide to watch the Movie, please be warned, IT IS SET IN A DIFFERENT TIMELINE, no, this is not a spoiler, literally in the first few minutes...things are VERY different from how the Anime leaves off.

NanoRyuusei

It was a pleasure to rewatch this anime after so many years, with you !!!!

Most important parts of Lelouch's final plan is actually the preparations that aren't mentioned in detail but are there with hindsight. He had Jerimiah crush all possible opposing nobility ensuring there could be no new sovereignty in the future for Britannia besides Schnizel, who when geassed for the good of the world(following Zero), is superior even to Lelouch according to himself and Cornelia. He sacrificed the vast majority of Britannia's military's power in the final battle making it so no one could make use of it anymore, with many of his siblings having been geassed into the armed forces. Japan produced 80% of the world supply of Sakuradite, the material needed for super conductors for knightmares and power supplies, mined from Mt. Fuji. As a result Japan has no more after he forced Mt. Fuji to explode with it, ensuring Japan's safety from future invasion and drastically increasing the cost of creating knightmares, the cost of war. Jerimiah and Anya are together in "retirement" meaning that should future issues arise, Suzaku has 2 of the strongest pilots in the world he can call upon to aid him, without having to involve Kallen who can now experience a normal life. And lastly he never tarnished Schnizel's image to the world as he only got to use the Damocles against Lelouch, and no one besides his inner circle knew his plan, so his diplomatic ties remain in tact as he serves Zero which in turn is Nannally going forward. It wasn't just "everyone hates me and I'm dead so we get along", it had several geo-political points to make the outcome actually work and make sense.

This is one of those anime where not only the Dub is fantastic, but its one of those "theres a LOOOOT going on and it might be easier to watch in your native language" kinda shows. No shade to how you decided to watch it! The sub is fantastic! Just Code Geass is a lot. It is my all time favorite anime, and I have rewatched it so many times. Each time I notice something new. Its a roller coaster for sure and my god could half their conflicts be solved by characters JUST HECKIN TALKING TO EACH OTHER, but its a good one. A lot. But a good one <3

Nikkelz

Catching up on the stuff I missed this week so binging your releases. The drama which I saw some comments made regarding the "don't even tell me" line from episode 24 was certainly overblown. For the most part I took that as a throwaway line because you were annoyed in the moment which I think we've all been there when we watch something and end it going "wtf?" People miss the point that at the end of the day its your channel(s) and they are free to stop supporting if that is what they wish but spreading hate regardless of as you said you take better than others is not justified and for other creators who have been in that position not all have as thick skin and some of those have ended tragically. I've been in this community since your original pop stars reaction to KDA and have seen it be a very civil and kind place so its a shame that as you've gotten bigger there are some bad apples with larger voices but that's somewhat par for the course in online spaces. Hopefully that does not deter you from speaking negatively about any experiences and again we are here to see YOU react and the more genuine it is the more we enjoy and engage with it. Keep doing you Luke!

Nikkelz

The ending both drove people nuts and has left it open to interpretation for years and part of the fun of why people "love" the ending as its very much what you can take away from it. Was lelouch the driver? was she talking to herself? Is lelouch apart of C's world like his mom and talking to C.C. during the entire show we see C.C. talking to Marianne. Also our boy orange retired on an orange farm just like zero told him to on their first meeting! always gave me a giggle when I saw it. I'm glad you enjoyed the ending even if you may have soured on some things in the show as others have pointed out. The show itself IS flawed and its not perfect but the ending is just a phenomenal wrapup and you get to see that he had this plan in place since the moment he took down his father. As I said in my rant above PLEASE don't let any of the negativity effect your reactions going forward keep being completely honest with how you feel as its literally the only reason for people like myself watching reactors. I'm not here to watch the show for the first time I want to see someone see it for the first time and what their perspective on it as new viewpoints are fun to dissect and re-evaluate your own thoughts.

zaseum tikoro2

Great reaction, i enjoyed my stay. But Nunnaly is bae >:(

Mark Dulap

In the end, it was the hero that died with the mask of a villain..

Abhi Sunkara

I understand. Code Geass can be a hard watch as it is too long and things get weird sometimes.

ArtKi

Didn't like the Nunally stuff. I went into this with the ending partially spoiled. HOWEVER, the details of the end were excellent and this how really stuck the ending. Not my favorite anime, not even top 10, but it's pretty good. And I thought it was LeLouch driving the hay wagon as soon as I saw CC on top and the driver's face was concealed. So. LeLouch's master plan was to unite the world against him. YOU KNOW WHO ELSE UNITED THE WORLD AGAINST HIM!!! 27:25 A panopticon prison! Very high class.

>>139536181

Yea ive seen it but the writer of the show said to consider that ending a alternate timeline and lelouch is canonically dead, at least from the actual writer of the shows own words but i think its better if lelouch died he had committed to many atrocities for him to get to ride off into the sunset with c2

Dr. Cheesecake
>>139576092

No you right, I love Code Geass but it has many many many flaws. Alot of fanbois will rage if you point it out and most won't even recognize them. I disagree with the flop part though, example = shows like spy family are popular and that is just straight garbage anime lol

Facio

The Code Geass Resurrection movie is fun if you wanted more of Lelouch, and if you want more in the Code Geass universe they've got the Akito the Exiled mini series that takes place in Europe and the Roze of the Recapture that's coming out soon.

DevDSilver

i honestly say it all the time people who just rudely trash people because they do not feel or like a anime the same way they do are not real fans and it ruins the experience of new people coming to to a series or anime in general. me personally i do not like a lot of animes other but i do not bash them for it, let them enjoy their animes how they want and i will enjoy mine how i want.

The Regret Meter
>>139584759

Absolutely. No matter what anyone says or even the creators themselves. They knew what they were doing with that ending.

Dr. Cheesecake
>>139578073

tell me you didnt want his intro without telling me you didnt watch his intro, entitled rejects everywhere lmfao

Dr. Cheesecake
>>139541284

"respectfully" you realize that you werent the only one commentating and that 90% were not so "respectful" even from the start. stop being entitled, he doesnt like a character you like, who cares, people have different opinions. yall need to stop being snowflakes

Dr. Cheesecake
>>139538535

lil bud really commented this without even watching 1 minute of the video, the entitlement of you weebs is insane. and yes i read your edit and that doesnt change the fact you wrote that without even hitting the play button lmfao

Dr. Cheesecake
>>139536181

@Solar there is no alternative ending bud, do some research first, that "ending" is a fake edit. unless youre talking about the movies in which case, those are set in a different timeline

Subaquatic Toaster
>>139538535

Congratulations on your "tropic thunder" moment to put in a moderately polite way. There's a reason this comment was framed the way it was and if you weren't coming here just to shit on people you'd understand that. But hey, you do you lil bud.

rostikowb

5:00 Schneizer was not a dictator, the fact that he used a nuclear bomb does not make him a dictator, remember how the US ended the war with Japan (his own motives may not be known to the public)

rostikowb

Code Geass is very similar to AOT, and AOT is the number one anime for me, but AOT all the time 10/10, ending 8/10 Code Geass all the time 8/10, ending 10/10 That's my opinion

rostikowb
>>139543780

I also wanted dubbing, although my native language is not English 😂

rostikowb
>>139549672

Actually, it's done to get more people to pay for the patreon, everyone does, but Luke is still quite generous, not only is the patreon cheap, but he doesn't do one reaction to one anime a week like most reactors do

rostikowb
>>139588663

Bro, you just label all opinions that contradict yours as wrong, it's you who needs to grow up

MrCharles

and thats Code Geass, it is to this day, still my favorite anime of all time, i always enjoy being able to see other peoples reactions to this story that i love so much and regardless of what your end opinion is on it, thank you, for putting the time and effort of watching it all to the end,

Havana0hNana
>>140787379

same case. Watched Code Geass back when it was released as one of my first few animes and nothing has ever topped it since.

Havana0hNana

Great journey with you Luke! Keep doing what you love!!
