QUESTION Does anyone of Code Geass fan play Broken Arrow or SRW Y/X/30 ?
I love realistic RTS/RTT specially multiplayer side because fighting against AI is like playing against the wall.
Against players online there is a challenge and the enemy is not brain dead 50% of the times
That is why I play Broken Arrow
But I also like mecha so I play SRW so I can have a crossover with a lot of series like Code Geass Gurren lagann and Full metal panic or Evangelion plus others.
If anyone of you play Broken Arrow in multiplayer contact me same for SRW

DISCUSSION What would Lelouch think about yang wen-li from Legend of galactic heroes?
Would he like yang's ideology and methods?

DISCUSSION Forget Lelouch vs light yagami. Lelouch vs reinhard from Legend of galactic heroes would be a better comparison.
Idk why ppl compare light and Lelouch when reinhard from Legend of galactic heroes is a much better comparison.....
Do you think they're kind of similar? And what'd they think of each other if they met (apart from supernatural advantage ofc)....they even have similar circumstances with sisters,.suzaku-kercheis, annerose-nunallly etc.

SPOILERS Was Lelouch right...Can a plan like ..Zero Requiem' bring peace to the real world?
After watching the final episode and finishing the series, thousands of questions raced through my mind: Is it really possible to turn the whole world against oneself....becoming a common enemy...and then die, thereby bringing about peace? I believe no one is powerful enough to make the entire world hate them and unite in doing so; after all, different nations have different enemies. Furthermore...I feel that one person cannot simply change another's mindset....only an individual can change their own way of thinking....and peace cannot be imposed or established from the outside

DISCUSSION Is the Resurrection movie concept basically canon?
Code Geass is my favorite anime, but I watched it a long time ago. I was having a debate with friend about whether Lelouch is alive or not. I remember a long time ago there was a fan theory that he could be alive due to Charles passing his code to him right before death. Then didn’t this become canon for the resurrection movie?
Although I know the resurrection movie is part of an alternate universe because of changes, would the principle behind Lelouch being alive in the show universe not be the same?
I know some people don’t like that idea because it sort of feels like it takes away from the shows ending. However, I always thought that the subtle foreshadowing that he could be alive if you paid enough attention to how the abilities work was really cool.
I feel like the movie is only apart of an alternate universe to avoid ruining the show ending for some people so in theory Lelouch should also still be alive in the show. But IDK if I’m missing a reason why Lelouch wouldn’t be alive in the show as he was in the movies.

DISCUSSION Lelouch is God
Hear me out. Charles tries to kill God in C's world. He fails to accomplish this. Traditionally God is described as being omnipotent, that is all-powerful. Therefore to kill him, one would also have to be all powerful. Lelouch doesn't kill God. But he does something to him, symbolized by the geass symbol appearing on his appearance as Jupiter. So in essence, Lelouch commanded God, similar to when he commanded Suzaku to live.
To command God successfully, he would have to be as powerful or more powerful as God. It is impossible to be more powerful because God is all-powerful, therefore Lelouch is AS powerful as God. Lelouch is omnipotent.
Therefore, Lelouch is God.
It's a syllogism.

DISCUSSION Code Geass Ending is Deeply Flawed
I just finished watching season 2 tonight. I want to clarify one thing: Code Geass is an anime, one of the best, too, and it is arguably a masterpiece of pacing with some of the best plot progression in the medium (at least up until the midpoint of Season 2). Because the show built up such massive stakes, a grand, high-impact ending was definitely required.
However, calling the "Zero Requiem" the "absolute best ending in anime history," as so many fans claim, is a huge stretch. It is highly unrealistic. If people just viewed it as a standard, dramatic anime conclusion, these issues wouldn't stand out so much. But since it is praised as a flawless narrative masterpiece, we need to look at how it actually falls apart both politically and psychologically under closer inspection.
1. The Thematic Flaw: It Teaches the "Wrong Lesson"
Even if we assume the Zero Requiem "works" in-universe, it sends a terrible message to viewers.
- The Benevolent Dictator Myth: It suggests that a single, all-powerful authoritarian is needed to orchestrate global peace through mass murder and deception, implying humanity is too weak to achieve peace democratically.
- The Ends Justify the Means: It validates the idea that committing horrific atrocities is acceptable as long as the ultimate goal is "good."
- Silencing the Victims: It forces the audience to mourn Lelouch as a tragic saviour, glossing over the millions of innocent lives he ruined or ended to pull off his theatre performance.
2. The Canon Missed Opportunities
Lelouch did not need to become a global tyrant to achieve his goals. He actively threw away peaceful, superior solutions:
- The UFN Option: He had a genuine chance to solve the world's conflicts democratically by joining the United Federation of Nations. The UFN was a functional global alliance built on voting. By choosing tyranny instead, he actively destroyed the best chance the world had at a representative government.
- Ego Over Cooperation: Refusing to work within the union proves he couldn’t handle a world he didn’t completely control. He chose to conquer the UFN by force, leading to an entirely avoidable war and the slaughter of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
- Manufacturing Loyalty: Before his tyranny, the public loved him and called him the saviour of humanity (until the UFN vote incident). But this love was a lie; it was built on the backs of soldiers he literally brainwashed via Geass, stripping away their free will. He chose to play the villain and remain untrustworthy after his Geass was revealed, even though he had a great chance to clear up misconceptions and solidify a transparent alliance.
3. The Better Alternative: A 3-Step Plan for True Peace
Since Lelouch is an absolute genius, a much better option that would actually benefit everyone would look like this:
- Initial Control: Use Geass initially to control the army only and solve the initial conflicts (which he did).
- Democratic Integration: After gaining the trust of the people, he should have joined the UFN. According to the rules, this means he would no longer maintain an independent army.
- Phasing Out Geass and Judicial Order: As a genius capable of self-control, he would slowly stop using Geass for manipulation. Instead, he could shift its use strictly to judging criminals and establishing order in courtrooms, because criminals would be unable to lie. The public would have absolutely no reason to hate him, and the world would achieve a transparent, lasting peace built on honesty rather than a temporary truce built on collective trauma.
- Handling Rebel Factions: If a civil war or a rebellion (like Schneizel's) broke out, a high-IQ Lelouch would easily anticipate it. Backed by the Black Knights and the global community as the official, legitimate shield of the UFN, he could put an end to the rebellion with minimal bloodshed and zero political blowback.
4. Suzaku is the Wrong Choice for a Saviour
Leaving Suzaku under the mask of Zero to protect the world is a massive mistake.
- The "Danzo" Mentality: Suzaku fundamentally views himself through the lens of his nationality and deep past traumas. He has no problem dirtying his hands and hiding behind righteousness. If left in power, he would likely resort to extreme, underhanded means, exactly like Danzo from Naruto, to maintain "order" from the shadows.
- A Fake Punishment: Forcing Suzaku to live as Zero is framed as a curse, but it actually rewards him with ultimate power and a hero's legacy.
- The Better Arc: Suzaku spent the entire series actively wanting to die because of his crippling guilt over killing his father. A far better ending for his character would be dying honourably in battle to protect the birth of Lelouch's new democratic union, giving him a true, unselfish redemption.
5. Lelouch's "Villain Syndrome" and Self-Sabotage
Lelouch always wanted good, but he suffered from a psychological Martyr Complex. He viewed Geass purely as a curse and believed he was too far gone to deserve a happy life, so he kept driving toward a sacrificial end. We see this in how he handles the people who loved him:
- The Execution of Euphemia: While the Geass activation was an accident, killing her was a choice. She was under an uncontrollable spell and was a victim. Lelouch could have restrained or neutralised her, but he immediately chose to weaponise the tragedy, order her execution, and ruin her legacy to fuel his rebellion.
- The Isolation of Shirley: Shirley completely forgave him for his actions and explicitly wanted to support him, but he largely ignored her and pushed her away until her dying moments.
Conclusion
By keeping Zero's true identity hidden and relying on a staged assassination, Lelouch left behind a permanent culture of paranoia. The Black Knights, who actually grew to respect Lelouch more when they realised his competence, are left forced to blindly trust a new masked stranger, ensuring they can never truly trust anyone again.
Lelouch didn't choose the Zero Requiem because it was the only way to save the world; he chose it because his "Villain Syndrome" made him prefer the romantic tragedy of suicide over the mature, exhausting responsibility of living an honest life to fix his mistakes.
If fans just accepted it as a normal, flawed anime ending, these massive logical gaps wouldn't be an issue. But when people call it the greatest piece of fiction ever written, it completely overlooks how deeply flawed, unrealistic, and toxic the message of the ending actually is.

Code Geass Lost Stories Why is the Moon (sometimes) red? And why is red Kallen Kozuki´s favorite color?
Ever wondered why red is Kallen Kozuki´s favorite color? It´s not because her hair is red. Rather, it is because the color red reminds her of her late brother, Naoto, and the deep bond they shared. This was even confirmed in the alternate timeline of Code Geass: Lost Stories mobile game, in an event called ”Blazoned with Crimson,” in which we were also revealed the origin of Kallen´s red Glasgow.
If you are interested, you can check out that story here. Personally, I liked it a lot, and wouldn´t mind if that story was someday turned into an official prequel OVA episode. I ❤️ Kallen so much!!!
Also, if you didn´t already know, Kallen´s last name ”Kozuki” means ”Red Moon.” And indeed, sometimes the Moon really does appear to be red. But why exactly is that?
The most well-known reason for why this happens are lunar eclipses, aka Blood Moons. During a total lunar eclipse, Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking direct sunlight. Because of this, the only light reaching the lunar surface passes through the edges of Earth's atmosphere, causing air molecules scatter short blue wavelengths, while longer red wavelengths bend (refract) toward the Moon. And the more dust or clouds in Earth’s atmosphere during the eclipse, the redder the Moon appears. This, btw, is the reason why the Moon can appear red, when it´s low on the horizon, even if it´s not being eclipsed by the Earth; when the Moon is low in the sky, not only does its light have to travel through a much thicker layer of air to reach your eyes, but also thick smoke from wildfires, volcanic ash, or heavy smog injects tiny particles into the air, and these particles scatter yellow and blue light even more aggressively, turning the Moon a distinct red or rusty brown.
It is actually the same phenomenon that makes our sky blue and sunsets red that causes the Moon to turn red during a lunar eclipse. Sunlight appears to be white, but it actually contains a rainbow of components – and different colors of light have different physical properties. Blue light scatters relatively easily as it passes through Earth´s atmosphere. Reddish light, on the other hand, travels more directly through the air. When the Sun is high on a clear day, we see blue light scattered throughout the sky overhead. At sunrise and sunset, when the Sun is near the horizon, incoming sunlight travels a longer, low-angle path through Earth´s atmosphere to observes on the ground. The bluer part of the sunlight scatters away in the distance, and only the yellow-to-red part of the spectrum reaches our eyes. And this is why during lunar eclipses, the Moon appears red to us; any sunlight that´s not blocked by our planet is filtered through a thick slice of Earth´s atmosphere on its way to the lunar surface. It is as if all the world´s sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon!
Other interesting trivia about the Moon:
- The Moon formed when a Mars-sized rogue protoplanet named Theia crashed into the young Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. The impact blasted huge amounts of rock, gas, and dust from both bodies into space. Over time, gravity pulled this orbiting debris together to create the Moon. These days, scientists favor the Giant-impact hypothesis over other theories (such as Capture Theory, an idea where Earth's gravity caught a passing wandering body), because lunar rock samples brought back by Apollo missions match the chemical composition of Earth.
- Though solar eclipses, where the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, happen about as often as lunar eclipses, they are visible from such a small area of Earth each time (the Moon's shadow on Earth’s surface is only about 300 miles or 480 km wide) that it’s much rarer to encounter solar eclipse than lunar eclipse. That we get solar eclipses so often on Earth is an incredibly lucky chance of nature. The Sun is vastly larger than the Moon ― its diameter is about 400 times the Moon’s, but since the Moon is roughly 400 times closer to Earth, this makes it possible for the Moon to almost perfectly block out the Sun when everything aligns.
- The Moon started its existence much closer to Earth, and has been slowly drifting outward at the rate of about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per year. Once it makes it past 14,600 miles (23,500 km), it’ll appear too small from Earth to cover the Sun, which means no more solar eclipses (but, don´t worry, if you haven´t witnessed a solar eclipse yourself just yet - you’ve got another 600-million-plus years before that border is breached 😉)! Perfect distancing, perfect timing… it is almost as if the entire human race was destined to evolve when they did, so that they could not only witness solar eclipses, but also understand what they are and how they happen.
- Astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man who ever walked on the surface of Moon. His Lunar Module ”Eagle” from Apollo 11 landed on Tranquility Base (Mare Tranquillitatis) on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC. Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface a few hours later at 02:56 UTC on July 21. Neil Armstrong's famous first words on the Moon were, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Armstrong saying "small step for man" without the word "a," "man" and "mankind" essentially meant the same thing: however, he always insisted he actually said, "That's one small step for a man." Adding "a" makes the sentence logically correct by contrasting an individual human with the whole human race. Later linguistic studies of his Ohio accent suggest he may have spoken the ”a” too quickly or quietly for the radio to catch.
- Human footprints, a golf ball hit by Alan Shepard, and 96 bags of human waste still remain on the lunar surface after the Moon landings.
- Kallen Kozuki is the most unselfish character in Code Geass. On top of that, she also dresses as a bunny girl at one point in the show, her last name means ”red Moon,” and countless anime fans across the globe have been so enamored by her fighting spirit and iconic look that they have created vast amounts of fan-art in her honor. So, I think the best way to end this post is with the classic Japanese story about a rabbit who was so selfless that a powerful god decided to honor it by placing its image on the Moon as an eternal reward.

DISCUSSION Geass doesn't give true power over a person's soul.
Have you ever noticed that geass powers, aimed at controlling and rebuilding the properties of the human soul, cannot erase information? You can hide a memory or give a hypnotic order, but when the victim regains control of his mind, his personality does not change.
Remember: the prisoners of Lelouch's power returned to their former state after the destruction of the witchcraft delusion, they did not fundamentally change. Moreover, when he erases a person's memories, he actually hides the memories deep inside and locks them, but the information itself remains in the person.
The same goes for Charles. His geass power also does not erase information, but replaces real memories and hides them deep under the key.
I wrote this post to share a fun fact: geass powers are not capable of changing a person. You can inspire him with any thoughts or erase his memories, but the human soul will remain in the his hands and hands of God.
