*SPOILERS* Code Geass Recap Movie Changes

[PromiscuousBunny]

Someone on Reddit posted the confirmed changes in the new Code Geass recap movie that was recently released. (There is also a Youtube video about this but that one has wrong info in it)

 

Spoiler, duh

 

 

1) The basic structure of the movie is as follows:

 

New scene of Lelouch and Nunnally being sent to Japan. Other members of the royal family say goodbye to them (apparently Jeremiah and other lesser known Britannian characters from various Geass spin-offs are also present there).

 

COLORS is the OP with stills of Lelouch, Nunnally and Suzaku as children.

 

Events continue until Lelouch gets his Geass.

 

Battle in the Shinjuku ghetto / Murder of Clovis

 

Capture of Suzaku and the battle against Orange

 

Suzaku is transferred to Ashford Academy

 

Battle of Narita

 

Todoh is captured, the attack on the base to rescue him, Lelouch finds out that Suzaku is the Lancelot's pilot.

 

New ED theme song by Iris.

 

2) Now, to go into some additional specifics about changes and cuts:

 

Most of the school scenes are gone.

 

After seeing Lelouch with his sister, Kallen thinks he couldn't be a terrorist. No shower scene either.

 

Following the Orange incident, the fight between Jeremiah and other members of the Pureblood faction where Suzaku briefly intervenes in the Lancelot is cut.

 

New scene with Euphemia picking up Arthur (the cat).

 

Cornelia's first battle against Lelouch is cut

 

The episode about Kallen's mother is cut

 

The hotel hijacking incident with the JLF is cut, but it is referenced in passing so technically it still happened in this version (just mostly off-screen).

 

Schneizel and Kanon appear in a new scene, talking about Clovis and related topics.

 

New scene with Lelouch playing darts is about him and C.C. discussing the events that happened off-screen.

 

Kirihara meets Lelouch/Zero in a garden and without any threats, so the tone of the meeting is different.

 

Diethard, not Shirley, is the one who shoots Villetta.

 

There are new scenes with Shirley trying to follow Lelouch, but the entire Mao arc was cut.

 

New scene of Kallen wearing Chinese clothes happens when she's meeting Rakshata at an embassy to pick up the Gekka mecha.

 

The movie ends with C.C. bullying/teasing Lelouch for his whiny reaction to Suzaku being the pilot of the Lancelot.

 

Rolo appears in the preview for the second movie.

Thoughts?

 

I don't mind a lot of what has been cut like school life stuff and the Purebloods ordeal (tho i did enjoy it in the original series).  Other stuff, I'm surprised they cut out

like the hotel hostage ordeal and Mao

.  Also one change i did not see coming is the change they made with the shooter of Villetta, it's a bit of a weird change for me. 

I honestly expected them to just add the sound episodes in the movie and make them more accessible that way.  The sound episodes did fill in a lot of what happened before the series started and stuff between the episodes, especially for character development.

 

I also think this movie recap thing is a money grab but that's the cynical side of me

 

Next movie release is in February
