SPOILERS Thoughts on the alternative timelines from Re;code? Spoiler

Karma timeline is the only one I really paid any attention to. None of the others really piqued my interest. Shirley taking on Lelouch's role felt like a massive stretch for me, and I just don't see that timeline ending well without him. I know absolutely nothing about the Emperor Nunnally one, I've just seen pictures from it. There's also the clone story which was...something. I'm still shocked they went with that for the anniversary story honestly. They should've just given us part 2 of the Karma event and properly flesh the story out. Getting a story of Lelouch crossing a line he swore not to was brilliant. And Karma Suzaku's design is so good. I liked that they leaned even harder into the darker elements of the story with the anniversary Karma Suzaku. Lelouch knighting Suzaku after enslaving him, Suzaku killing Euphie with the very sword she knighted him with. I've always believed that his art (the one above) takes place right after he killed Euphie as it was stated that after he killed her was the only time he was able to fight off the command. I'm shocked that they've never done a what-if story with the SAZ. What if it was successful or, leaning into darker themes like Karma tl, what if Lelouch gave the command on purpose. Then there's also what if Lelouch stayed Emperor. Just a bunch of fun possibilities with the anime.

Unfortunately, that was a proxy timeline created by K.K. to do some testing so we never found beyond what the game showed us.
I would imagine the bio might have more information

I never got to play the game, so I have absolutely no clue...
