At first I was like: HOLY SHIT FUCK YEARRR!
But then I was like: There will never be a R3

And

Is what I'd think.

Hopefully they put in a decent bad guy this time and explain geass. AND NO FUCKING JUPITER INSTRUMENTALITY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

I think, wow the plot will be utter shit and won't make sense at all. Probably worst story ever. 100% fail and hopeless milking.

More unintented humor, always fun to watch a show so full of failure.

>>20404181
>>20404197
Sure is samefaggot in here.

My thoughts would be...

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY TIME!

My idea for R3 would be far in the future. Lelouch and CC go live in a yurt in rural Russia or something, and then when the world turns to shit again, he comes out and rapes with his magic eyes. I guess only Jeremiah would still be alive, because he's mostly a robot. But he would still be LOYALTY.

I guess somewhere along the line they figure out that he is the former emperor and then shit goes down. Just think of all the potential plot tweets and train wrecks, it would be so lovely.

>>20404217
>You like a cartoon I don't. You should die.

As long as my waifu's in it, I don't care how shitty it'll no doubt be.

fuck no

>>20404322
This except for Anya and Sayoko are turned to robots too, so Jeremiah won't be ronery.

And Kallen died from being raped. By a fat, Britannian nigger.

>>20404342
Except he was referring to Geass Sundays, which were total shit that only faggots/fat yaoi fangirls enjoyed.

>>20404342
No, it's "You troll the imageboard I like, you should die."

Hey, guys. It's already confirmed. Some anon had been drinking with his buddy Taniguchi, and was told that it was in the making. Said anon informed us about this in a geass thread a few day ago. The title was going to be:

Lelouch is dead, main character is now Jeremiah

YOU LAZY FUCKING SON OF A BITCH FUCK

After the collapse of order in Area 11 following the inept Britannian response to the death of Clovis, a coalition of prominent Japanese and Britannian businessmen calling itself the Committee for Public Safety establishes itself as the de-facto government of the Japanese archipelago. Included in its ranks are such notable figures as Kyoto's Kitahara, but one of the odder members is a very young man named Lelouch Lamperouge, who despite coming out of nowhere is demonstrably quite intelligent and has been vouched for by several leading members of the organization.

Britannia, naturally seeing this organization as a usurper of its legal rights, engages in a second invasion of the islands. The Committee, while quite adept at delegating reconstruction and policing duties to its various members, proves too unwieldy to effectively respond to the aggression; in steps young Lelouch, who through sheer weight of personality welds the Japanese resistance movement along with Britannian liberal sympathisers together into a national defence force, calling itself the Order of the Black Knights.

Lelouch proves to be a brilliant military commander and repulses the initial invasions led by Princess and would-be Governor of Area 11, Cornelia. But all is not well: 2nd Prince Schneizel, Prime Minister of the Empire, has arranged a marriage between the unmarried Crown Prince Odysseus and the young Empress of China, not yet at her majority. Naturally Odysseus, as Prince-Consort, would assume the regency of the Empire until his wife's majority; this would prove to be a grave setback to the upstart republicans in Japan

>>20407722
And the dads Chuck, mom's Mary, Schneizel's Schnuppy and Clovis is Chloey.

Seeing the need for drastic action, Lelouch uses his accumulated political capital and seemingly incredible luck to complete a thorough purge of the Committee. Opposition members are found in bed with underage prostitutes, or swimming in kilograms of cocaine, and while they all pleaded with the public that they couldn't remember how they got there, media guru Diethard Reid, having been seduced to Lamperouge's party long ago, prevented their stories from circulating overmuch.

The home front secure, the newly-founded Japanese Republic (with legislative and executive power vested in the National Assembly, subject to the advice of the Committee whose mandate remained the security of the public) looked to securing its rear: declaring the dynastic alliance a menace to the public safety of the world at large, Japan engages in several ill-founded incursions into the Chinese mainland.

Japan's salvation in this war came in the form of the incredible performance of Pilot-Captain Kururugi Suzaku, who owed his incredible advancement to Lamperouge's policy of nepotism (for which he has been criticised by historians) as much as to his incredible skill with the stolen Britannian Lancelot. The two were childhood friends, and though occasionally at odds over ideology, they remained steadfast in their desire for an independent and sovereign Japan.

Reports of a homosexual relationship between the two have never been confirmed.

>>20407694
Yeah, it's Lelouch. "Lelouche" would be a more correct French name, but Sunrise are faggots so... Lelouch.

>>20407743

what are you talking about.

Anon-sama!
Anon-sama~!
I never understood why Anon-sama likes Code Geass so much. I've watched it but I don't see why Anon-sama likes it so much.
Anon-sama, tell me, please~!

Pilot-Captain Kururugi was the trump card Chairman (as he now called himself, for he was now chairman of the Committee) Lamperouge needed in his negotiations with certain elements of reaction in the Chinese government. Though the move was touted by the Eunuch bureaucracy as the greatest hope for peace that China had ever seen, high-ranking officers in the military corps saw it as a selling out of Chinese sovereignty to foreign devils; and since the Chinese Empress was naturally the Empress of the entire world, the Eunuchs were naturally traitors. However, they feared the discrediting of their position did they strike openly. Their one move was to convince the young Empress to vocally and publicly disapprove of her impending marriage; and no sooner did she make this announcement then did Kururugi Suzaku, in his Lancelot painted yellow to imitate the mass production models manufactured in the Britannian mainland, blow right through all Chinese defenses and burn her in plasma and fire.

>first thought

>JIBUN WOOOOOOOOO

>>20407783
Great. Lelouche looks too much like douche, and Lulu isn't one. He's a good kid, trying to help his loli imouto. Wouldn't all of us?

Chairman Lamperouge reportedly welcomed his friend back from the successful mission with open arms. It had been an unmitigated success: aided by Diethard Reid's media prowess, the Britannian 'assassination' of the dissenting Empress united public opinion behind the forces of the coup. Carrying banners bearing the character for Tian-Zi, the army seized much of northern China, while the eunuch bureaucracy and those generals who remained loyal struggled to hold on to the portions of southern China that were left. The Great Mogul in India, long chafing at his status as tributary to the Forbidden City, gladly declared independence, and the rest of the Chinese sattelites soon followed.

This was, of course, no more than a temporary solution: eventually the Civil War would end, and then Japan would be as vulnerable as ever. But a temporary solution was all that was necessary. Unlike many of his fellow citizens, Lelouch was Britannian, and it was across the Pacific that the Chairman laid his gaze.

A large royalist fleet had set sail from ports in northeast China, but as with most of the positions in that corrupt government, the soldiers were more loyal to their commanders than to their government. Though it was shocking that their commanders declared themselves persuaded to be newly devoted to the cause of Japanese independence, they didn't question their orders - and generous gifts from the Japanese government didn't hurt. It was thus that the Chairman gained a fleet for his invasion of the Americas.

what, its lelouch supposed to be napoleon?

More homolust. Bigger, more badass Knightmares(Grunts included), a BADASS Zero, more DAT ASS, more WTF moments like NinaxTable.

lulu gets three obscenely good looking anime sluts without even trying. what is his MAN STINK???

The invasion of Britannia began at the naval base of Pearl Harbour on 7 December, ATB 2018, and of the Republic the year II. The Chairman, along with the former General Todoh, now Marshal of the Republic, had received credible evidence that the Pacific Fleet would be gathered there to conduct training exercises. It was to their considerable surprise, then, that the harbour was discovered to be empty. In fact, Britannian submarines and aircraft carriers had been lurking on the other side of the island, and struck the fleet when it made landfall. The fleet fought bravely, but it was clearly on the worse end of a battle of attrition: out of supply, far from home, the Japanese were doomed to capture or death. Only the timely intervention of the Lancelot, independently conducted by Major Kururugi and his unit, led to the fleet's successful extraction.

>>20407875
It's the thought that counts, right? He's a good boy.

Gundam 00, code geass

SAME PLOT

As she crouched over CC, panting and moaning lightly, Kallen thought about (or at least attempted to) just how her argument with that woman had managed to turn into this. They were always butting their heads over how to rebuild and run the Order in Lelouch's absence, but finally tonight something different came from the back-and-forth teasing.

Perhaps sensing the shift in her body, CC shifted gears once more and smoothly ran her hands up from their resting place on the muscular abdomen to fondle the prodigious mounds above. A stream of sweat ran between them as they were squeezed and pinched; embarrased, Kallen closed her eyes so she wouldn't see CC's glinting eyes below her and tightened her grip on the headboard tighter.

The redhead struggled against the waves of pleasure her practiced partner's mouth and fingers sent jolting through her but she had her limits. Several minutes of this torturously erotic assault had left her grasping desperately for a stoic resolve; to remain taut instead of collapsing into it. But, how long had CC practiced these skills? A hundred years, two hundred? Who knows how long the arrogant, aloof immortal had had to hone her skills to god-tier.

One hand shifted its attentions, and began kneading her bum with a catlike dexterity. "What a fine tail you have; and I'm quite a connoiseur of them, you know." CC's rough slap to it broke the final wall. The primal response had gone beyond Kallen's ability to mentally control anymore. Bucking, throwing her head back with an animalistic howl trapped in her throat, a fire as potent as Gurren's raged through her body.

In a daze Kallen collapsed backward onto the bed. While she basked in the afterglow of the heat CC lazily shifted onto her side and grabbed a napkin off the bedstand. Wiping her face off, she tossed it aside and took a slice of now-cold pizza from the box and took a greedy bite out of it.

"I hope you don't have a complaint about me eating things in bed anymore."

Why was the Lancelot (now officially the Miyamoto Musashi) not deployed with the fleet to begin with, given the great amount of striking power it represented? To properly understand this one must understand the nature of the ideological conflict between Major Kururugi and the Chairman. He had reportedly chafed at being ordered to assassinate the young Empress. He had decided, after lengthy consideration, to trust in his friend, who assured him that the Lancelot would be equipped with blank rounds that would only give off the image of a plasma discharge. In the Chairman's own words, the public's perception of what happened was most important: that Britannia be seen to attempt to assassinate her is all that mattered. It was therefore no small shock that the Lancelot was equipped with live ammunition. Suzaku had physically confronted his friend upon arrival, and upon the threat of physical violence, Chairman Lelouch is said to have replied, 'the only thing that matters is the result. Why not kill one little girl if it will save thousands of Japanese lives?' Suzaku is said to have stormed out of the room in anger. Furthermore, rumours of his having intervened covertly in China reached the Chairman, and of course, there was only one person who knew about the orders. Suzaku had been complaining: and to the wrong people, it seemed.

BUT LELOUCH DIED AT END OF R2

WHO GAN BE LELOUCH R3!?

>>20407871

Remove the Jupiter mech, and you just described everything that makes NoN better than the anime.

Though usually ruthless, it seems that at this point Lelouch still considered Suzaku his friend, though an untrustworthy military asset. He refrained from deploying him in the assault, but similarly refrained from having him purged or executed for crimes against the revolution in the Plaza of Judgement in the Tokyo district of Akihabara. It was therefore to Lelouch's great astonishment - and to Suzaku's great gain - that the fleet at Pearl Harbor was saved.

Scattered documents of this period also suggest a sharp decline in the Chairman's mental faculties. He was heard, more than once, to be muttering about his 'ani-ue' foiling all his plans, though it was well-known that he only had one sibling, and that a younger sister.

The military campaign has been extensively documented elsewhere: the landings in Durango, the crossing of the Rio Grande (dubbed jokingly by American historians as Operation Wetback), the firebombings of Manila and San Francisco, and the brief recapture of Nagasaki by a Britannian fleet that had wintered in Australia. Characterizing it all, however, is an astonishing amount of luck on the part of Japanese forces, and defections or suicides of prominent rising stars in the Britannian officer corps. Pairing these was an almost divine hand protecting the iron rule of the Chairman over the National Assembly. Opposition members, almost similarly, began to kill themselves or send themselves into voluntary exile (almost always, curiously, to Australia). Despite this - and the ongoing purges of 'counterrevolutionary elements' under the jurisdiction of the Committee in the blood-stained plazas of Akihabara - opposition to the Chairman's dictatorship continued to mount. Though he was by no means an unfair ruler - the Japanese were indeed the legal and actual equals of their Britannian countrymen under the Republic, and Japanese people occupied most prominent government positions - it's perhaps in the nature of man to chafe at authority. Central to the opposition was Colonel Kururugi Suzaku, who had begun speaking openly about the Chairman's coldblooded destruction of Britannian cities and desire for 'results, at whatever cost, regardless of the method'. No mention was made of the assassination, but it was foremost in everyone's mind - and, miraculously, no one suspected Colonel Kururugi of the crime.

>>20407905
>lulu gets three obscenely good looking anime sluts

Suzaku CC and Kallen?

The decisive moment in Republican history came on 30th March of the Year III, with the capture of the major Britannian city of Phoenix in a two-pronged offensive from the landing groups in California and Mexico. The Chairman - leading, as he always did, the armies of the Republic in person - managed to pocket and capture the 4th Britannian Army under the direct command of Prime Minister Schneizel. Though the Prime Minister himself managed to escape the capture of his harmy, found there also was Crown Prince Ulysses and Crown Princesses Guinevere and Carine, his close confidantes. Lelouch wasted no time in deciding what do to with his royal captives. Always with an eye for ceremony, he ordered a great stage to be built in front of Phoenix's governor's residence, and upon it a curious contraption, which history books of the period named the Guillotine. There, on the 30th of March of the Year III, one by one, he beheaded the captured members of the Royal Family, as the Stars and Stripes were raised above the legislature. As the Royals' blood pooled at his feet Lelouch declared the rebirth of the United States of America.

>>20408000

you sir are correct

The execution of the Crown Prince - and subsequent massacre of most of the nobility who were unfortunate enough to live within the territory of the newly declared United States - was the final straw for most of the Japanese opposition. While Lelouch had proved adept at maintaining his rule while personally present, many of his most trusted officials proved unable to govern effectively in the face of mounting opposition. When faced with an important decision, they insisted repeatedly upon consulting the Chairman, stating that his advice is bliss and happiness. As such, many were deposed for gross incompetence, and sent away with meager pensions.

Public opinion in Japan was split over the war. Though many Japanese were glad to see the Britannians finally getting theirs back - and equally happy to see the Rising Sun flying over so many cities of the West Coast - many more were tiring of the constant heavy taxation and rationing that were required to keep the war effort going. More than a few Japanese mothers also wept bitter tears at seeing their sons and daughters come home in bodybags.

Kururugi Suzaku, whose indignation at the continued waste of blood and treasure continued to mount, saw that this was his time to act. He unilaterally withdrew his unit from patrol duty in the Oregon Country, returning to the Japanese mainland and ignoring the Chairman's complaints, citing - truthfully - that he'd been summoned back to the mainland to testify to the Assembly in secret session with regard to the conduct of the conflict, and to give a personal recommendation as to its final closure. And testify he did: he testified about the continual pointless waste of life, of the indiscipline of Lelouch's volunteer brigades when capturing a city, and of the ridiculous amount of fortune they'd had so far. How were they do supply an invasion force across an ocean?

It was the opinion of the Colonel - and of the opposition members of the Assembly - that the war would know no end; that even if, through the exertions of the chairman, the campaign were to continue successfully, the conquest of the

Empire was impossible. In the safety of the secret session even members aligned with the Chairman agreed: Japan had overstretched itself, and it was time to arrange a peace.

The problem, of course, was the Chairman. Lelouch's iron will to destroy Britannia had at first required a strengthened Japan, and so their interests had at first coincided. If allowed to continue unchecked, however, it would eventually

lead to the country's ruin; even in victory, continued spending on the army would massacre an entire generation. A secret ballot was held on redefining the Committee's mandate to internal security only; this passed by a narrow margin,

but it passed nonetheless.

The question remained, then, of the best figure to deal with Britannia. Many prominent figures in the Japanese government were known for their hardline positions, either sincerely held or adopted for the purpose of advancement under the

Lamperouge tyranny. There was one figure, however, that stood for ethical governance and ethical international conduct: the center of the opposition, Kururugi Suzaku, the voice of reason and victor of countless battles. On 2 April of the

Year III the National Assembly appointed Colonel Suzaku First Citizen of the Republic and Commander-in-Chief of its armed forces. The regular people of Japan, however, saw it differently. Descended as he was from the foremost samurai

families, they simply called him Emperor.

Lelouch is said to have flown into a physical rage when he heard of Suzaku's 'coup' at home, and to have become even more angry when it was pointed out by the messenger that it was in fact done entirely within constitutional limits and
without firing a shot. We can only assume the Chairman was eloquent enough to persuade the messenger of the righteousness of his cause, becuase as all evidence attests, the messenger promptly shot himself. The Chairman lost none of his usual determination and will, however, and his United States went down hard. Britannian units came to call him Lelouch the Lucky as his incredible combination of brilliant strokes of luck and excellent military skill allowed him to push
his offensive further. The fighting ranged back and forth: the city of Dallas was turned into rubble in the fighting, the city of Phoenix sacked upon recapture by Royalist forces, the city of Los Angeles reduced to eating rubber in a
siege. Reading the accounts, one is struck by what an incredible strategic mind the Chairman possessed: captured by one General Bartley, he used sleeper agents apparently infiltrated months ago to break him out of captivity and return
him to his army. The deathblow to the resurgent States did not come from Britannia, however: it came from Japan.

The reality of the situation was that Japan was a small island surrounded by great powers. Its only strategic advantage was its control of vast subterranean Sakuradite reserves. Britannia had been worn down by years of conquest, and the

Republican invasion was a startling blow; uprisings had been triggered in many of its occupied provinces, and some even in its core territories, where liberals and republicans fought to come under Republican rule. (Though the Lamperouge

regime was despotic, it was by no means oppressive: it was, after all, a war of social liberation that he fought.) Prime Minister Schneizel therefore proposed to Emperor Suzaku a compromise: recognition of Japanese independence and

sovereignty in exchange for aid in quelling the rebellion started by radical dissidents inspired by the Revolution in Japan. Feeling his hands were tied, and feeling that Lelouch's bloody determination was at least partially his fault,

the Emperor agreed.

A fleet set sail from the port of Nagasaki supposedly carrying relief supplies for Los Angeles, the last Republican holdout on the continent. The supplies were indeed aboard. Also aboard, however, was the Britannian agent Rolo, who had

worked for the Emperor in a political capacity in the past. The supplies were received gratefully, as was Rolo, disguised in the uniform of a Republican naval officer.

At 15:00 on 1 May of the Year IV the Chairman received Captain Tamaki of the RNS Amaterasu to thank him personally for the relief supplies. In the Captain's entourage was Petty Officer Rolo.

No one in the room was ever seen again.

First thought will be "This better have ended in tragedy"

The aftermath of the war was quiet. Britannia, critically weakened by years of expansion, was forced to release some of its newly acquired territory and to grant rights to some territory it had ruled for some time. Decentralized as it was it would never be able to throw its weight around quite as it once had, though it was still a considerable force. The constitutional crisis was weathered primarily by the Prime Minister; the Emperor was heard to delegate 'all mundane matters' to him. In his age, perhaps, he thought only of the world beyond.

The Chinese Civil War ground slowly to a halt in a ceasefire after years of bloody warfare. The Eunuch government - recognized as legitimate by everyone but the EU - received considerable material aid from Japan, and the Emperor himself visited the South Chinese port of Hong Kong in order to promote greater cultural and economic links between Japan and the Southern government. Possessed as it was of a modern infrastructure and incredible amounts of energy, Japan quickly became the center of an East Asian economic and military bloc, focussed around Japan and South China but quickly pulling in Oceania, Indochina and, to a degree, India, though they maintained their stubborn independence. Eager as always to find the best solution for everyone, the Emperor dubbed it the Co-Prosperity Sphere.

As for the Chairman: who knows? Though both Emperors declared him dead, his body was never produced. The ghost of Chairman "Lucky" Lamperouge haunts both governments to this day. One year to the day after his supposed death, the Emperor of Britannia was found murdered in his sleep, with the flag of the Republic draped over his corpse. The year after that, the International Trade Center in Rio de Janiero was bombed. The year after that, attacks in Miami and New York.

Was the Chairman responsible for it, or remnants of his radical ideology? It's impossible to determine, even now, with the advantage of hindsight. But remember that even today, ten years after the end of the War, governments and underworld leaders whisper the name of the Republic and of a mysterious new figure:

Zero...
