Perhaps made as a movie rather than R3 series so it’s as though it’s not canon to the original series?

I’m wondering if it was made as a separate movie with the recap movies (with differences to the original series) so that if it doesn’t do that well or fans are dissatisfied, they can just go back to the original series and almost pretend the movie never happened, after all R2’s ending was great and provided closure and satisfaction. Idk if this made sense, it’s just my theory.

Presumably so, I am glad they did it this way because it put a stop to both sides raving about the Tr00 ending of Code Geass.

Now fans get to enjoy whichever ending suits their made-up theories better.

Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch is a sequel to the re-tell movies (they are not re-cap movies) and not Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2.

Before you watch Fukkatsu I highly recommend watching the re-tell movies because they clarify many plot elements, change things from the original series, and add some important scenes.

P.S. I have read all of Fukkatsu's plot spoilers and I can say that you will not be dissatisfied with the whole resurrection thing. It is explained thoroughly and the ending of Fukkatsu will leave the same WOW factor as R2 did. Code Geass never fails to surprise.

In neither R2 nor the trilogy does he get immortality.
The Fukkatsu movie even completely contradicts code theory.
The show staff have been repeating and repeating and repeating for 10 years that Lelouch is truly dead and not immortal, why would they suddenly change their tune in this movie? The movie is even called "Lelouch of the Resurrection", so take one guess what happens.

I wasn't specifically telling you, it was more of a general statement.
It's important to know that the old code theory was debunked years ago. The anime made it impossible, the show staff officially confirmed Lelouch was truly dead and even explicitly contradicted parts of the theory, and now, as a cherry on top, the movie explicitly tells us that Lelouch was truly dead and not immortal. (and ys, the movies are an alternate universe, but the same rules for codes and geasses apply, and Lelouch's fate was shown to be identical)
I wish people weren't so easily fooled by conspiracy theories.

For those who want to read more about all the official statements and the facts, read the Code Geass Community Information Database.

The film in and of itself was meant to directly follow the compilation movie trilogy, but in most ways it can also work as a continuation of the TV series. As long as you can adjust your mind to accept certain differences, that is. Or, as mentioned before, you can treat it as something separate.

Nothing prevents that from happening. The choice is up to the viewer himself or herself.

Regarding the matter of Lelouch's survival, I find it to be a supremely boring topic of discussion myself.

In either case, it is necessary to underline certain details. The new movie does not endorse the theory Lelouch that had intended to survive the Zero Requiem and was fooling the world by faking his sacrifice. In fact, it is explicitly mentioned that he had originally wished to die.

Nonetheless, the movie does suggest something quite openly.



In any case, I believe it is a pretty good film and fans should watch it in order to make up their own minds about these subjects.

Your attempt at bouncing the ball doesn't work since our arguments are fundamentally different.

They are in conflict with your own personal lore interpretation, which doesn't give any weight to various lines and scenes from the movie, which are also part of the current lore within the movie universe, thus you aren't providing an accurate picture of what happens during the film.

It seems that you only wish to talk about this one topic over and over again, so the discussion is becoming circular.

You're talking nonsense now.
You call the fact that code bearers are immune to geass not part of the lore?
That is a fundamental part of the lore in both the series as the movie.

You even started contradicting yourself now as the inevitable conclusion of your own words contradict your earlier statements!
Hows do we know whether object/concept A is different from object/concept B? If A and B have different properties.
You yourself now say they have different properties!
Therefore they must be different, that is the only correct conclusion.

On the contrary, you've misunderstood and misrepresented me once again. There is no real contradiction, at least not if my statements are read carefully, in good faith and comprehensively. Which isn't what you are doing.

Under normal conditions, that fundamental part would be absolutely true. The movie states that the conditions are not normal anymore, because of the changes in the World of C, so there are various effects. We don't know everything that has happened yet, at least not in both cases. Furthermore, Lelouch doesn't know if he's immortal or not. Nor do either of us. Which doesn't mean a Code isn't involved in both cases.

I am going to give you an example. Let us assume we've downloaded a software program (you may call it Code.exe). Then the download server became corrupt and went down. Yet, in terms of the details, each case is different even if the program is the same.

Because I had downloaded the Code.exe program many years ago, back in 2008, I can't access the online features anymore. I can't easily connect to the server. Yet I still have the original program on my hard drive and can use many other remaining options just fine. The Code.exe program isn't corrupt on my PC.

Your case is different. Because you were downloading the program only today, right when the server was corrupted and went down, the change in the online connection has affected you more directly. The data transfer was imperfect. You can still try to use the Code.exe program, but it will have some errors due to partial loss and not receiving the full file.

In both cases, it's still the same software program that was being downloaded on each PC. There are different effects because the process was altered and the programs were downloaded at different points in time, but it's not an entirely different thing in terms of the underlying nature or source of the Code.exe program.

We'd need to test every option in order to determine what, exactly, is the full set of properties in each case. That is what would be fair.

And yet C.C.'s code is still a real code.
That means that the current state of C's World doesn't affect the functioning of codes.
It means that what was transmitted was affected and resulted into something different, i.e. not a code.
A flu is not a common cold as I explained to you in another topic.

As for your example, if the download resulted in a differently functioning program, it is strictly speaking bot the same thing anymore since it does different things. It may sound silly in this context, but it is still very much true.

I've insisted that the changes in the World of C affected the transmission process of what was originally a Code taken from a specific person.

Right now, it's definitely not the same thing in the current state. Be that as it may, there are things that the movie doesn't confirm or deny.

So far, you've been acting like it's impossible for Lelouch to be immortal even in the movie universe (and that he didn't inherent this from Charles).

The answer, officially speaking, is a question mark. Until someone kills him again (or at least tries to and they discuss the matter), we won't know.

Some things, yes.
But in regards to powers we have been shown enough to realize that Lelouch did NOT get the code, regardless of its source.

GolbeztheGreat said:

false again.
You misunderstand the argument.
Whether or not Lelouch is immortal is not relevant, what IS relevant is the doubt the characters have.
If he had had the code, there wouldn't have been doubt about his immortality.

And to expand on that, the possible immortality was acquired after C.C. resurrected Lelouch, not before. If it had been before he would have had a mark in Oudou and noticed it, which was not the case.
C.C. said he wanted to stay dead, so the presence of some kind of mark in Oudou would have been brought up because that seriously casts doubts on the plan of of Zero Requiem, not something you want when it's your final move in your quest for redemption and world peace.

C.C. has already said that he inherited the code from Charles. Corrupted? Yes, but also inherited.

If he had had the mark, he would have seen it during his months of being emperor and would NOT have chosen death because he would have known that was potentially impossible.

No, not necessarily.

There's absolutely no reason to believe that Lelouch walked around for MONTHS with the code and the mark just never bothered to show up
C.C.'s mark always shows up at times when it's relevant for the story, not just when she is using using. Unless you're going to assume the mark has 4th wall breaking ears, it's just common sense to take from that that it's always there

We do not have any direct evidence of when the mark appeared.

Since you like to speculate and extrapolate, here's another possibility:

Lelouch got the Code from Charles but since it was corrupted, as stated, that could be precisely why it didn't show up immediately.

If it doesn't function like a code, it's not a code.
A real code would appear within minutes, if not instantaneously.
Charles' case made that very clear.
If you're going to assume that it was different for Lelouch because he has an incomplete code, then that's just one more argument to say he doesn't have a real code but another, new power.

Only in a case where you would serve as the sole judge, jury and executioner. Considering I've made various detailed posts and presented specific arguments in order to explain my reasoning to you as well as participated in debating different issues before this point, that's clearly untrue.

I am not the one who pops up in numerous threads, even long before the movie was released, in order to repeat the same point over and over.

I wouldn't mind that too much, even if it looks pitiful, if you didn't begin to make personal attacks and accuse other people of lying just because they don't agree with your way of thinking or, for that matter, they dared to point out there are inaccuracies in your descriptions and rhetoric.

That's a cynical stance, especially when you're the one who has been overly aggressive right from the start and refuses to even consider any opposing arguments. Basically, the only way to avoid "twisting your words" is to never disagree with you, but you can accuse others of anything and everything.

Your costant twisting of my words does qualify as lying, especially because my very words are but mere posts higher up.


I believe that's not for you to establish, especially when you were shown to be wrong about some of the details corresponding to what happened in the movie. This isn't the first time (nor the only thread where) you've claimed that Lelouch didn't get the Code from Charles, when C.C. actually says during the movie that he has inherited it. You've been trying to claim that a corrupted code must be "some other power" when it's really a damaged or incomplete version derived from an existing one (the Emperor's code).

Because they still all have the core properties which uniquely identify them as dogs or birds. The ability to reproduce is not unique to dogs or birds.
Very flawed analogy


You don't have the sole authority to determine any of that. Like C.C has done numerous times, Lelouch has returned to life from a state of death at least once. That much cannot be denied. Recovery from death would be one of the core properties of Code-holders. We don't know if this also extends to full immortality yet, perhaps Lelouch could die of old age or something else because his code is corrupt, but recovery from death is not a small or insignificant property. But, according to you, it seems we must ignore this and conclude that it isn't a core property because of other unrelated aspects.

Not exactly. If you seriously did, we probably wouldn't be discussing this anymore. You've briefly accepted that a process of receiving the code from Chales took place, after being confronted and countered despite your initial rejection of the premise, but then immediately jump back to the conclusion that isn't a code at all and can't be called a code...even if characters in the movie happen to also call it a code (regardless of whether they mention that it is in a corrupted or imperfect state, which they do, because the characters don't establish as firm a distinction in their dialogue as what you are doing here).


the show staff described Charles as "not dead" not as "recovering from death"
So no.


I am referring to the fatal wound healing itself and the person standing back up, since obviously Charles still got shot and didn't fully bleed out, so there is a recovery from a brief death or a death-like state. It's funny how you have the curious policy of taking even casual comments made by the staff and then heavily paraphrasing or extrapolating from them in ways that are neither literal nor exclusive interpretations, in order to claim "the staff said this" even if their real statement was more limited...but then you get mad about other people using different language to refer to the same events.

The whole point of the discussion about the mark is merely to showcase that Lelouch doesn't have a code but a new power with new properties. That also means his mark is not a code mark but another mark with possibly other properties as well.

You've briefly accepted that a process of receiving the code from Chales took place,


no I didn't
there you go lying about my words again.
I've never stated that lleouch receieved Charles' code because Lelouch never got a code, but something else.
What I did say is that Charles was involved in this process. Nothing more than that.


GolbeztheGreat said:

after being confronted and countered despite your initial rejection of the premise,


What are you even on about?
No such thing happened. I never said lelouch received his father's code. NEVER


GolbeztheGreat said:
even if characters in the movie happen to also call it a code (regardless of whether they mention that it is in a corrupted or imperfect state


And now you're being disingenuous again!
C.C. called it an incomplete code, that is a massive distinction.
We can see from the properties of this incomplete code that this extra word "incomplete" isn't just fluff but has meaning!


GolbeztheGreat said:
which they do, because the characters don't establish as firm a distinction in their dialogue as what you are doing here).


This is true, they don't do that through dialogue.
it's a case of "show, don't tell"
We see that the incomplete code has different properties because
1) lelouch didn't come back on his own which would have been the case if he had had a code
2) lelouch's mind didn't come back which would have been the case if he had had a code
3) lelouch didn't have a mark after the events in C's World which would have been the case if he had had a code
4) people with the incomplete code are not immune to geass which would have been the case if they had had a code
5) there is doubt about the immortality which would NOT have been the case if he had had a code

radically different from the core rules of codes.
Thus, not a code.

It's funny how you have the curious policy of taking even casual comments made by the staff


As if that makes them any less true.
Do you wish them to be accompanied by trumpets and the language be super formal like "hear ye hear ye, I, Taniguchi, do hereby declare ..."


GolbeztheGreat said:
and then heavily paraphrasing


Their LITERAL words are that Charles wasn't dead and was just messing with his son.
no paraphrasing at all!

GolbeztheGreat said:

or extrapolating from them


Extrapolating??
"Charles has a code" + "Charles never died" -> "death is no requirement for getting the code" is NOT extrapolation.
that's pure deduction and there's no other logical conclusion.


GolbeztheGreat said:

"the staff said this" even if their real statement was more limited

Right, i've looked them up to showcase how much of a liar you are.

「これギアス掛かってないのに死んだふりするんだよ」「息子を驚かせようと」「ルルーシュくんかわいそう」「これ一番ショックなタイミング計ってるよね」「絶対笑いこらえてるよ」って色々言われてて笑った。
"He isn't geassed, just pretends he dies!" " He tries to surprise his son!" "Poor Lelouch" "He tries to choose the most shocking timing, doesn't he" "I'm sure he tries hard not to laugh"

Please tell me how that is more limited than me saying that the show staff said that Charles didn't die??
They say "he isn't geassed" and "just pretends to die"
FFS man
Stop your lies.

After talking about this with some other people...you're GeassedyLelouch, aren't you?

It's sad to see you descend into such a mess of personal attacks and aggressiveness.

Then again, it's not entirely surprising. You've been unnecessarily pushy, hostile and intolerant about this subject around the web.

Right, i've looked them up to showcase how much of a liar you are.


Only if "liar" in your world means "person who doesn't agree with me".

"He isn't geassed, just pretends he dies!" " He tries to surprise his son!" "Poor Lelouch" "He tries to choose the most shocking timing, doesn't he" "I'm sure he tries hard not to laugh"


I had already looked at this. It's a casual remark by someone (who?) in the staff. Not something where every word is meant to be literally read (in which case there are other staff comments that you definitely aren't taking just as literally, but have curiously chosen to ignore).

Was Charles pretending the entire time, or only part of it?

If we take this extremely literally, then presumably C.C. also "pretends to be dead" every single time she gets shot or stabbed in a potentially fatal manner. Which doesn't seem to match what we see in the show at other times. It seems that there is a recovery period for C.C. too, not just an entire sequence of "pretending". Why would Charles be different?

Look, I've already mentioned that we can replace "die" with "receives a fatal wound and passes out" instead. Unless you want to argue that this wound didn't cause any fatal damage to Charles at all, unlike the many times when C.C. gets shot and passes out, in which case he was awake and pretending the entire time. That seems odd and a bit extreme.

I think it's more reasonable to say Charles would first be waiting for the wound to heal, after a brief passed out state like C.C., and only then does he choose to pretend and pick the right moment in order to open his eyes to shock Lelouch.

This could be possible, but also shows why an overly literal reading of the phrase is not wise all.

I am not, though i do know him personally.

You would too if you were faced with a disingenuous person who constantly twists the words you say.

GolbeztheGreat said:

Either Okouchi (writer) or Taniguchi (director)
The fact that it said said in an informal setting does not diminish what he said.
That's just trying to create a strawman.


GolbeztheGreat said:

False.
It's not because it wasn't said in a formal interview that it can be thrown away.
The information is still entirely valid.
You're just trying to discredit information because it doesn't suit you.


GolbeztheGreat said:

Please do provide examples with sources, otherwise your claims are hollow.


GolbeztheGreat said:

/facepalm
Are you really telling me that's what you truly believe?

GolbeztheGreat said:

How on earth did you reach that conclusion?
The falling down and all that wasn't staged. Pretty sure he did pass out or whatever, but he didn't die because he's already immortal. They said he wasn't geassed, which means he ahs a code which means he's immortal. Thus he didn't die.
Neither did C.C. in any of those cases.

You're just messing with me now, right?
You can't really be saying this.
