Code Geass Season 3 Announced!
2012 Update: Code Geass: Akito the Exiled, Nunnally in Wonderland, Plus Movie Updates
Bandai’s mobile phone website, m-pub.channel.or.jp is hosting an image that reads as follows:
New Code Geass Project Launch Green-Lit!
Wait for more info in 2010!!
The image also adds that this project represents a “rebirth” and that Geass will take a new step starting today. The message is signed with the name, “ZERO.”
In the January 2009 issue of Gakken’s Animedia magazine, the Sunrise anime studio indicated the possibility of more plans for its Code Geass science-fiction franchise. Sunrise created and animated the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion television anime series and its R2 sequel. Sunrise did not indicate the format that any hypothetical future plans might take. The Adult Swim television programming block ran Bandai Entertainment’s adaptation of the R2 sequel in North America.
This is good news for all Code Geass fans! After all the petitioning, all the whining, and all the complaining, Code Geass Season 3 is finally going to hit the Green Screen. Next year is going to be an awesome year, that’s for sure. We’ll be updating everyone when any new news is released regarding Season 3. So stay tuned, and check back often!
NOTE: The image above, is the official Season 3 Image.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2
UPDATE:
The January issue of Kadokawa Shoten’s Newtype magazine is announcing on Thursday that Tomomasa Takuma (Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally, Kurogane Communication) is drawing a manga that is tentatively titled Code Geass: Shikkoku no Renya (Code Geass: Jet-Black Renya or Code Geass: Renya of the Blackness) next year. Goro Taniguchi, the director and story co-creator of the original Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion television anime series, created the new manga’s story concepts and is scripting the story. This is the first manga that Taniguchi is directly scripting himself.
The story takes place in the same official Code Geass history as the anime, but in a different era. The title character, Renya, is a 17-year-old boy with a mechanical left arm and shuriken throwing stars as his weapons of choice. The story begins when Renya encounters a mysterious, perpetually young witch named “Reifū C.C.” C.C. has appeared in Japan’s historical Edo era to seek a new partner for a covenant. Meanwhile, a mysterious man, with a striking resemblance to the character Lelouch of the original anime, also appears with unknown intentions.

to be honest i hope lelouch isnt in season 3 because R2 gave the perfect way for lelouch to die. hell i even cried and it takes alot for me to cry. to find out he faked it, i would feel cheated out of perfection. infact i hope they decide not to make it or do completely different characters like with G Gundam and Gundam Seed. Its not because i dont like code geass, l loved it, but the ending in R2 was the best ending of any show ever. Simply perfection

matt lelouch didn’t die
he was immortal, he got the code from his father Charles. And remember that CC was talking on the wagon? Lelouch was the driver
January 22, 2010

ur right…in the first place lelouch didnt die..at the end of R2 but my friend told me that he DID die..because he will sacrifice himself to break the immortality of CC but suzaku got the power lelouch possess…my friend told me but we have to wait for season 3
January 22, 2010
#4
Lelouch wasnt the driver, C2 can talk to him on a different plane of existence, like she talked to his mother the same way.
Or so i believe.
January 22, 2010

to Influence,
umm i think the reason CC can talk to marriane (lulu’s mother) is because of marrriane’s geass…. so i dont think she can talk to lulu the same way as marriane unless he is alive and still posses a geass…though im also not saying that lulu is the driver of the wagon
January 22, 2010

Ok lelouch took charles codes and obtained the second eyed geass
being R2 like C2 (stands for Rerouch Ramperouge)
January 23, 2010
#7
Auggie that is the most absurd thing i have ever heard. His name is Lelouch Lamperouge. which would make him L2, not R2. I do agree with several facts though. Lulu did take his fathers geass. He was unaware of it because you have to die before the code takes affect. this is proven when Lulu (using his geass) commands Charles to kill himself. Charles clearly dies and bleeds out but comes back with the code shortly after. Lulu would have to die before the code could take over and assuming the wound would have to heal first, Charles wound was small from the bullet, Lulu had a large and deep wound from the sword we can assume that it would take awhile for Lulu to come back. if you wan’t more proof just ask.

Lelouch is dead he did not steal his fathers code and did not become immortal. If you watch the episode where Charles and Lelouch’s mother die Charles clearly tells you how he dies. As for the ending where CC is talking to Lelouch the answer is simple. CC told Lelouch she can feel geass users and can thus talk to Lelouch after he has departed, thats what i’d like to think, but the whole reason they use that last scene is to open you’re mind to create you’re own ending. One where Lelouch lives or dies. That is why this was supposed to be the true ending. Now though because people were hungry for more in a third series they are inclined to make one, but there is a zero possibility that Lelouch will be the main character. It will be a diffrent story in a diffrent timeline that is certain, because peace has already been achieved in that world.

Oh yeah and the theory that you came up with about Lelouch being the driver of the wagon is not possible it is clear that Lelouch is communicating to CC the same way his mother was, that was clear. Thats the reason they had CC say his name so that you know she was not talking to his mom or talking to herself, be he dead or alive. though matsurihina does have a point, marriane was alive when they were communicating so there really is no proof that CC can talk to Lelouch if he is dead. So there really is no certain conclusion and never will be around the topic of Lelouch’s survival or demise. though i would like to believe that Lelouch went out in a massive blaze of glory and sacrificed himself for the peace of the world, or you can believe that he weaseled out of it and managed to survive. there is no real answer because this series is over.

Hasn’t anyone thought that maybe C.C was talking to him because she misses him? It doesn’t have to mean he’s alive or anything. And anyway I remember reading in an interview with the creator that he won’t say if Lelouch is alive or dead because he wants everyone to end it however it makes them happy.
January 24, 2010
#11
yea. i agree with salveje.. definitely done with this story, if season 3 will be make, then lelouche must not be there anymore..
January 24, 2010
#12
He will appear in s3 … shown on the poster
January 24, 2010
#13
Wont it be likely that it will be in the same timeline? Not saying that Lelouch is alive or not (though it would be great if he was) But if its not then why is ZERO on the poster? It will probably continue on R2 just abit further ahead in the future

The Creators have actually said that Lelouche is dead. Why the hell can’t fans GET OVER IT! When a story ends as well as CG did there are always fans who want to be in denial. I mean its like the people who modded FFVII so Aeris doesn’t die.
January 26, 2010
#15
I think it will be amazing if Lelouch was still alive…Yes I do agree that the way R2 ended was AMAZING!!!!!! But Lelouch is a Genius and you would think that he would have a plain so that he wouldn’t die.

January 26, 2010

LELOUCH IS NOT DEAD! CAUSE HE KILLED HIS FATHER THE IMORTALITY OF HIS FATHER HAS PASSED TO LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
January 27, 2010
#19
HELLO TO ALL CODE GEASS FANS
January 27, 2010
#20
Ok, I believe Lelouch DID die at the end of the season 2.
First for his Father’s code, even if he had it I think he gave it to Suzaku, which would explain why he survived even tho his machine blew up, and also why Lelouch told him that he would have to live as Zero… blahblahblah…
And then for C.C. talking to Lelouch via telepathy or w\e you think, ok, but i mean did you guys ever think at loud when you’re on your own ? or saying something at loud that you wish the person it was destinated would hear ?
Anyways that’s why I think about this…
Ciao guys

how about this…… Lelouch MIGHT be in r3…… and might not be in r3…. we have to wait and see

I believe, and hope — Lelouch is indeed dead. Because his death was meant to be the climax of conflict.
It was martyrdom. Dying for a belief, or willing to die for it. He also said something that outlines this. “Those that kill must be prepared to be killed.” which possibly means something similiar to a belief of karma (What goes around comes around, in other words.)
I have no opinion on what C.C.’s ending dialogue. It is meant to be left to the viewer to decide.
…I also have to say this: Mechanical arms and shurikens are hardly original, don’t you think?
…Regardless, I just hope Kozuki-chan survives if she does indeed show up. Because while it says “Different Era” that doesn’t mean far into the past, or the future.
In my opinion, again: If they wanted to make another Code Geass, they should focus on Code Geass: Lost Colors.
I wouuld be very, very happy if they did. They would also make more money, and there is still a large number of people wanting a english version of Lost Colors, increasing their monetary gain quite abit.
Final Opinion: R3 may be a fail. But my opinion is of the five following:
1. Karen dies (By any means, natural, warfare, depression, etc.)
2. That they turn around, and instead make a ongoing series that eventually loses it’s touch and meaning (Like Bleach, for instance.)
3. Lelouch is alive, and faked his death. (Good intentions or no. The smile Karen gave at the finale, and the symbology of World Peace would be lost because of this. Immortal or no.(
4. They use ‘gundamized’ Knightmare frames. (Laser swords, example. Which would throw away the purpose of the Revolving Swords and ‘Blast Spears’)
5. Schneizel ‘Breaking’ his command. (For him to follow and serve Zero) and instead plotting again. (Look. We all saw Damocles burn up, so that also means he’d try to rebuild it. You can’t build something of that size without catching attention.)
….If they stay true otherwise, and don’t kill off perfectly well-made characters, then this is indeed a ‘R’.

would you guys just wait? i agree with the fact that lelouch DIED(but want him alive) in season 2 and CC TALKED with lelouch..don’t you see the sense and the purpose of these 2 situations? the creator just wants us to make our own analysis and conclusion of the story…i’m afraid lelouch won’t be on season 3 though ‘coz the creator just had a character of resemblance to lelouch

One of the greatest Anime Saga’s in the Anime world get’s some of the best news ever! This is simply amazing! I have been a fan since R1 Episode 1. It look’s like they could go a couple of different ways with this. Eighter they could have it be an Alternate Retelling like the Mahou Sensei Negima storyline. Or the never gets old Gundam Saga. Or they could have it be that Lelouch never died and the story in this one is more focused on someone else. Because above it said: “C.C. has appeared in Japan’s historical Edo era to seek a new partner” – a NEW Partner? So that mean’s most likely this is going to be picked up after Season 2. And “Meanwhile, a mysterious man, with a striking resemblance to the character Lelouch of the original anime, also appears with unknown intentions.” Maybe this person is the real Lelouch, like i said, he could’ve survived from Season 2. Or maybe it’s a secret child between Lelouch and Shirley! Oh come on! It could’ve happend! LOL. But what i do know – ALL Fan’s of the Code Geass Saga will come under the mysterious power of Geass when they watch this!

You people are ridiculous.
If any of you followed the show AT ALL, you would know there is no possibility for Lelouch to still be alive. Think about it. The only way for someone to obtain the Code, is for them to kill the person who gave them the geass once their geass is fully developed. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY CAN SIMPLY KILL ANYONE WITH A CODE AND GET THEIR CODE. Also, even if this were the case, the fact is Lelouch was NOT the one to kill Charles, it was God himself (Or whatever you wish to call it.) who killed him, doing as Lelouch commanded. With these factors known, there is no way Lelouch could have had a Code, and therefore could not have been immortal. ALSO. Lelouch was stabbed in such a vital spot, that even with Britannia’s amazing medicine, there’s no way they could have saved him in time, especially when no one was rushing to his aid. The last thing I wish to point out is all this speculation of Lelouch being alive because C.C. talked to him. No one can truly say why this is, one should think it’s because the creator wanted you to keep an open mind for the possibilities, but in MY opinion, C.C. simply missed Lelouch. Often times people will address already deceased people as they’re thinking of them, it’s just showing how much they miss them. But maybe that’s just me. What I really want to get across here, is YOU’RE ALL MISSING THE POINT. The death of Lelouch was the entire point of the anime. Lelouch working so hard to build this perfect world, and in the end, he ends up intentionally making it seem as though he is a cruel and evil emperor, focusing all hate in the world on him, planning his own death, and eliminating all that hate for the good of everyone. This was shown particularly powerfully through Nunally, for as she touched Lelouch, and saw his true intentions, she realized how good Lelouch really was, and wept for the loss of her kind brother. This was what truly made such an amazing anime. With this third season, there is no way Lelouch could be alive, and if he is, then there would be quite a bit of explaining to do, and personally, I would think it takes away from the entire anime. That said, I don’t oppose a third season, I just will not accept Lelouch being alive in a position when it was impossible to remain so, and it would ruin one of the most amazing animes I’ve ever seen if this were to happen. I can only hope that Sunrise wouldn’t think of such a thing. (For all these people saying the third season is focusing around Renya, and in the Edo period, read more carefully, this is never said, it is only said that there will be a manga published as such.)

okay Lefhy im also wondering if you were listening idk which episode was it, but there was an episode which said the lelouch found out what c.c. really wanted…. she wanted to be loved without someone dying, if lelouch was about to die then c.c. should have stopped him, but something could have happened during that one month after charles’ death, so there’s my proof
February 11, 2010
#34
i’m on ‘lelouch not dead’ side
did anybody ever wonder why nunnally got vision when she touch lelouch?wasn’t it the same as when c.c touch suzaku’s frame?and c.c is immortal…bet he got the immortality from his father before he banished(note that lelouch’s neck kind of always being hidden with scarf)maybe as gift(as a father)/punishment
it’s actually depend on what we want to believe

i think lelouch is alive. NOW WAIT ive seen what some people have put as reasons for him being alive, like orange letting zero go by. the anwser to that is he was in on the plan, NOT showing that hes still alive. and the guy thats with c.c at the end. THAT COULD BE ANYONE. but what shows me that hes alive is 1) although C’s world KILLED his dad, it was him that made the wish that lead up to his dads death and his geass was fully developed then. 2) c.c was at the church praying to him saying this was his punishment. C.C, A GIRL WHO THINKS THAT LIVING FOREVER IS HELL AND DEATH IS AWSOME!!! 3) at the end of r2 it zooms in on the pink paper crane nunnally gave him, c.c has absolutly no attachment to it lelouch carried it around with him no c.c, soo Y WOULD C.C HAVE IT IF HE WASENT ALIVE. 4) when she was talking to him at the end. the proof is that she dosent talk to the dead, she randomly talks to v.v and mariane (who is in anya, NOT DEAD) she dosent talk to them after thay die. (last one) 5) (this one is more about the s3 thingy ^^^) it said that theres one charecter* that looks alot like him, in animes that ive seen all look alike charecters are ether the same, a twin, child, or very closly related (but that one normaly only apperes in hair) he “dies” before he has a kid, he only has a twin in Nightmare of Nunnally, who is rolo and also dies.
WHO ELSE COULD IT BE?!?!?!?!?

It may just be a a minor thing, but its a stupid mistake… its not kallen… but Karen… just seen alot of people trying to write her name but gets it wrong all the time, thats all

I love code geass but i wont watch it if lelouch isn’t there, i cried when he died, sad day sad day…
February 20, 2010
#43
yeah same here anyone else noticed that lelouches death parodies euphys
February 21, 2010
#44
Hallreaver
… That is only my opinion though, and I think it´s possible he got the code as Charles took V.V code somehow?
You whine about ppl calling her Kallen, that is maybe because in the eng subbs she is called Kallen(or her name is written that way) so it´s rather hard to tell if her name is Karen or Kallen
February 22, 2010
#45
hey
uhhhmmm….
if there’s someone who wants to get prove of if Lulu died……..
he did not….he is immortal…or remember the pact Lelouch and C.C. made that “what ever happens he musn’t die) the Lelouch that was stabbed was his maid Sayoko (the japanese girl) Lelouch and that female switch places many times before.
he is the one who drives the cart CC was riding at the last last last part of r2
but lelouch is alive….promise
prove? open this:

if there will really be a Code geass r3, I want Lelouch to be the main character again…For me, no one can replace him…that’s why I want to request to the author of this anime to please let Lelouch remains as the main character….
February 26, 2010
#47
good luck with that rave….. code geass r3 would probably be about someone else that is related to lelouch some how….. well who knows….. c.c. could have been in a big fight with lelouch and he wants revenge for not being actually thankful to his trying to conquer the world while c.c. who tries to forget lelouch find someone else…. my opinion… if you guys dont understand im sorry
February 26, 2010

would this be proof? i mean i think hes alive but im not 100% sure, but i found this and it might be the proof some people might be searching for

code geass r3? wow so nice..
March 1, 2010
#50
omg i’m excited. but come on
the ending to code geass was beautiful and amazing. if they make a third then it’ll probably have all new characters, new plot….new EVERYTHING!!
the end of cg was to show that Lelouch had completed his mission of creating peace for the world by being killed. the end was supposed to have fans imagining what will happen not actually make a 3rd season.
i am excited don’t get me wrong. heck i’ll probably be counting down the days, but come on really? you REALLY have to make a 3rd.
