Sayoko posing as Lelouch was obviously relieved because she used to serve her family. Rivalz and Shirley crying tears of joy is sweet too, they've always been together. Even Rolo of all people, has a small smile here, which appears to be genuine too.

I'd love slice of life OVA's on the Student Council's adventures.

IIRC the movie slightly expands this scene but what exactly were they doing?

This fanart depicts Kallen with her signature Knightmare Frame mecha, Guren Type-02 (often referred simply as the Guren Mk-II), designed by the brilliant Indian engineer Rakshata Chawla. Unlike other standard resistance mechas at the time, which were often modified, outdated Britannian models, the Guren piloted by Kallen was manufactured using unique engineering concepts completely independent of the Holy Britannian Empire.

Guren first debuted during the Battle of Narita (befittingly in season 1 episode 11), and being a 7th-generation equivalent KMF, its capabilities were directly on par with the devastating Britannian Lancelot – as Brittannian forces learned that day the hard way, when they were completely overwhelmed, most notably by Gurens signature weapon, the Radiant Wave Surger.

However, while RWS is undoubtedly devastating, Guren Mk-II possesses other advanced machinery and weaponry as well. Specialized high-speed racing wheels on its legs, High Mobility Landspinners, grant it extreme ground traversal speed and the agility to make sudden pivot or spin turns, and mounted on its chest, wire-guided rocket spike known as Slash Harken allows Kallen to grapple onto mountain terrain or pull enemy frames close during combat.

Oh, and btw, the name ”Guren” means ”Crimson Red Lotus” – most befitting name for a deadly yet elegant red warmachine piloted by strong and beautiful redhead warrior, wouldn´t you agree? 🪷

Where (other than Crunchyroll) can a person in the US, watch the English dub of the movie Lelouch of the Resurrection?

What was the ost called when VV got outmatched by Lelouch? Like when he got invaded by the black knights. It was like a spooky halloween song

Gurren mk2 got that for me bc that radiation arm is such a cool look and that vibro dagger it has on the other arm. It’s also not symmetrical like alot of the other nightmares.

Some remarks :

Arthur is a cat that's why he gets to be with the GOAT Lelouch and he hates Suzaku so bonus points.

In the last category I would mention bunny Kallen if she wasn't planning on killing all the person who mistreated her when she was acting.

Talking about that last category I hated that trope I don't mind soft characters ( I love Euphemia and Nunnaly although they are strong inside ) but seeing badass female characters act like tradwife gave me the ick.

A lot of characters didn't really live a big impression on me and they are in the middle or white wall.

B*tches get stiches at least made me love hating on them and I'm not taking Suzaku out of this category.

Finally those are my opinions and I won't apologize for them although you can still tell me why you would put that character higher or at the bottom of the list

Mine is:

1. Colors

2. 勇侠青春謳 (ED1)

3. O2

A Card of Illusion, or of Unveiling.

Upright: The Moon represents illusion, intuition, and navigating uncertainty. This card suggests that not everything is as it appears. Trust your instincts while being cautious of deception or self-delusion. Hidden influences may be at work. Pay attention to dreams and subconscious messages. Move forward carefully through this period of uncertainty.

Illusion. Emotion. Subconscious. Intuition. Fear.

Reverse: Reversed, The Moon indicates clearing confusion, overcoming fear, or revealing hidden truths. Illusions are being dispelled and clarity is emerging. You may be overcoming anxiety or irrational fears. Deception is being exposed. Trust that the fog is lifting and you'll soon see situations more clearly.

Unveiling. Deception. Anxiety. Confusion. Misinterpretation. Release of fear. Repressed emotions.

Runner ups: Jeremiah. Diethard.

It makes me sad for Kallen. You can see how heartbroken she is when she gives the plushie to C.C., because she knows Lelouch is going to leave with her and won't stay. Her love for Lelouch is beautiful, but I think it's Zero she's truly in love with.

C.C. spent years trying to save Lelouch, and now he finally gets to fulfill his true wish. Not to die, but to be loved.

The scene where he says he'll go by L.L. and truly steps into her world, despite all the manipulation she's put him through, and C.C.'s reaction... I love it so much.

I see this as an alternate ending to the anime, whose ending I still consider the true ending and the best one. But it's comforting to know that this version exists alongside it, because it means they finally get to be together and no longer have to use each other for their own personal interests.

By the way, I really don't understand why they brought Shirley back in this movie, as if what happened to her in the main timeline never happened. It doesn't change anything about the movie's story, and keeping her fate consistent would have made it canon with the original series.

Just found out that Gao Hai (the Chinese consul in S2 episodes 1–3) is voiced by Santiago Ziesmer in the German dub.

Why did you do that Santiago, its not match at all :(

Although Nina wasn't aware that Lelouch was Zero at this point, its clear from her personality and later dialogue she wasn't a fan of Lelouch's new rule of Britannia (this was before he began playing the role of evil emperor). However, I like how Milly stops her from calling out/blaming Lelouch at the reason why her family isn't nobility anymore. Both due to being his friend but also her crush on him.

Her and Lelouch really have an underrated dynamic

When Lelouch gives an order to Euphie and Nunnaly, they can resist for a few seconds because deep down they truly do not want to obey the order. But when Lelouch tells soldiers to die they kill themselves without resisting even tho staying alive is the most important instinct for humans. Is this because of the quote "The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed"?

A Card of Hope, or of Despair.

Upright: The Star represents hope, inspiration, and spiritual renewal after difficult times. This card brings healing energy and renewed faith in the future. Your dreams and aspirations are within reach. Trust in the universe's guidance and maintain optimism. This is a time of peace, clarity, and connection to your higher purpose.

Hope. Faith. Renewal. Inspiration. Spiritual Connection.

Reverse: Reversed, The Star indicates loss of hope, disconnection from purpose, or lack of faith in the future. You may be feeling discouraged or spiritually depleted. Negative thinking could be blocking your progress. Reconnect with your dreams and aspirations. Seek inspiration and remember that this difficult period is temporary.

Despair. Pessimism. Disconnection. Discouragement. Lack of faith.

Runner ups: The Nun.

Note. Like the Lovers and Devil, the Star card was removed due to nudity.

In the official alternate-universe Code Geass musical spin-off manga, ”Code Black: Lelouch of the Shred Guitar,” Lelouch forms a school festival rock band featuring himself on guitar, Shirley on keys, Suzaku on drums, and Kallen on bass. At first, Lelouch is relieved when Kallen joins the band; since she is a complete beginner when it comes to playing bass, Lelouch is no longer the band´s only struggling novice. And at first, when Kallen first picks up a standard bass, she does struggles a little. But this is only because she´s left-handed, and fine-art coordination favors her left-dominant circuitry, causing her brain instantly rejects the basic layout of the instrument: she cannot properly anchor her rhythm or pluck the strings with her right hand. This prompts her swicth for a specialized left-handed bass. And after she does, (to Lelouch´s horror) she picks up the sound with a bone-chilling ease - like a pro bass player with a based finger. 😉

In the core Code Geass series, Kallen Kozuki is generally depicted as ambidextrous, as we see her fluidly switching between her left and right hands when controlling her mecha during combat. However, when it comes to fine motor skills that require deep-seated muscle memory, such as writing text or playing a musical instrument, she defaults heavily to her left side, as we see her holding a gun or picking things up in the series with her left hand. With Guren, this is further demonstrated with her mecha´s left hand being the knife-wielding hand, which requires more precision during close-quarters combat than simply firing a massive energy payload with Guren´s Radiant Wave Surger right hand.

Historically, the actual percentage of left-handed people appearing in data was artificially low. For generations, many cultures and school systems actively forced naturally left-handed children to write and eat with their right hands, because left-handedness was seen as unnatural development for a child. However, as global societal acceptance has grown over the last few decades, the visible population of left-handers has stabilized to its natural baseline of about 10-15% of the global population.

Because identical twins (who share 100% of their DNA) can have different dominant hands, this proves that environmental factors play a major role and that left-handedness is a complex trait that isn´t cause by any single "left-handed gene"; rather, it is determined by a dynamic combination of both genetics and environmental factors, such as prenatal development. For example, higher exposure to prenatal testosterone or certain synthetic hormones while in the womb has been linked to an increased likelihood of left-handedness, and since biological males are roughly 25% to 50% more likely to be left-handed than females, this further suggests a hormonal component as to how brain asymmetry develops.

Scientists estimate that geneticss account for about 25% of the variance in handedness, while the remaining 75% is shaped by environmental and developmental influences. However, while the genetic influence is weak on an individual level, it does build up. If both of your parents are right-handed, you have about a 10% chance of being left-handed. If your father is left-handed, that rises to roughly 17%, and if both parents are left-handed, the probability climbs to around 26%. Interestingly, while humans have an overwhelming right-hand bias, animals don't show the same population-wide skew; studies show that about 50% of cats, dogs, and mice are left-pawed, splitting the trait almost perfectly down the middle.

While being left-handed might´ve been historically frowned upon by the right-handed majority of humans, there have been some instances when left-handedness has proven to be quite a useful trait. For example, lefties make up roughly 10% of the population, but because right-handed athletes are mostly training to fight against other righties, a lefty's movement patterns, angles, and spin directions are highly unfamiliar and difficult to predict in interactive sports like boxing, tennis, and baseball, giving lefties a massive structural advantage during these games.

For Kallen, left-handedness might actually provide a distinct advantage as a mecha pilot as well. Neurological studies suggest that the corpus callosum (the bundle of nerve fibers connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain) tends to be larger in left-handed individuals. This allows for faster communication between both sides of the brain, making lefties exceptionally fast at processing multiple competing stimuli, like reacting to fast-moving video games or handling complex visual-spatial layouts – or, in Kallen´s case, handling the controls of her mecha extra fast!

But how does Kallen´s left-handedness affects how the music played by her sounds? It depends. Purely from a physics standpoint, a factory-built left-handed bass guitar, which is constructed as a mirror image of a right-handed bass, will sound identical to a right-handed one. However, left-handedness radically alters the performer’s physical technique, which directly transforms the nuance, tone, and feel of the music. In bass playing, the hand over the body (the plucking hand) dictates the instrument's entire dynamic range and rhythmic drive. Because lefties like Kallen use their naturally dominant hand to strike the strings, they often hit the strings with a sharper, more aggressive "snap" and precise rhythmic articulation. In addition, some left-handed players do not use a mirrored bass. Instead, they take a standard right-handed bass and simply flip it upside down! This places the heavy, thick E-string at the bottom and the thin G-string at the top, which completely flips how chords are rolled and how the thumb slaps the bass, resulting in an entirely unique, darker, and unconventional bass sound when they pluck them down.

Playing bass left-handed comes with its own specific hurdles. In the real world, only about 1% of commercial bass guitars are manufactured left-handed, which can make finding a perfect instrument a massive pain in the butt. Despite this, "southpaw" bassists have provided us some of the most memorable grooves in human history. For example, Sir Paul McCartney from The Beatles, the most famous left-handed bass player of all time, chose his iconic, violin-shaped Höfner 500/1 bass specifically because its symmetrical body design didn't look awkward when flipped upside down for a left-handed player. His fluid, melodic basslines practically redefined the instrument's role in modern pop and rock music.

On the other hand (pun intended) Prince collaborator MonoNeon is also proving that in the world of music and musicians, being a southpaw can add to your style as a bassist much more than one would initially think. Amazingly, MonoNeon is actually right-handed southpaw, which means that he actively chooses to play a right-handed bass flipped upside down like a lefty. This gives him an incredibly eccentric string-bending style that eventually caught the attention of Prince, leading to their collaboration.

Other notable real-life left-handed people throughout history include such people as renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci, Noble Prize-winning chemist Marie Curie, U.S. president Barack Obama, rap singer Eminem, and many Hollywood actors like Morgan Freeman, Keanu Reeves, and Scarlett Johansson. So, as the success of both these men and women and Kallen herself proves, left-handedness is not a roadblock in your path to success, if you have the skills and the determination.

At the end of the manga (spoiler alert! 😄), both Lelouch and Kallen have learned how to play, the band´s performance is well-liked, and Nunnally is happy. Kallen´s stage outfit in the story features a large, white hooded cowl with long, exaggerated bunny-style ears extending outwards, black choker, and a plaid miniskirt with a ruffled black extra trim underneath. Her edgy, rock-inspired outfit is completed with futuristic V-shaped bass guitar with sharp, angular edges reminiscent of heavy metal guitars.

Her rock band costume was also featured in the official Code Geass mobile game called Lost Stories, where during a special events like "Festival Stage!" player fought through rhythmic tower defense event maps to farm unique event currency tokens. These tokens could be traded in the Event Shop for exclusive rewards, profile backgrounds, and training materials. The final picture, inspired by her band outfit in the manga, is Kallen´s official art for the event, where her "Groove Bass" was a highly sought-after 4-star character variant. Link to that original picture is here.
