This Comment is so damn underrated
Right his whole ending speech was compelling, moving, and had passion then download this ad
Honestly,it was an unforgettable moment for me,because i found Another Eden through this video,and it has now become one of my fav JRPG game in the recent years,and its a freaking mobile game Lol.
"Bang" ;-;
yep he kinda ruined his own video there :D Sellout !
Code geass music begins to play
My tears: hey there
I legit started tearing up
Same here
Can we just all forget that the continuation of the movie existed?
Well if you want Lelouch to have a good life then choose not to
i havent even watched the anime and i am still crying
Same bruh
I cried tears of joy knowing that so many people in this comments section truly appreciate Code Geass.
I mean I’ve seen a lot of anime and code geass is definitely a top 5 in terms of ending right up there with Cowboy Bebop and FMA:B
Fr
ever standing epic
and the re;surrection ruins it completely
Story got messy and kinda bad after s1
@@coriakacoron5851 still didnt watch the last movie, but I think that Lelouch was alive after S2 anyway. More things lead to that conclusion than him being dead imo. And it wouldnt be a good ending for me if C.C. was left sad at the end
Code Geass ending like it did without planting death flags around Lelouch impresses me. That showed restraint on the writers part.
There were small hints but no huge flags. Lelouch saying those who kill should be prepare to be killed in EP1, the blood-staining the black king on the chessboard, and some others.
@@kingk1336 But that's all in episode 1 lol, so you can't really raise any suspicion for a character in a 50 episode show you've barely met.
This and suzaku's "betrayal" at the shrine were enough to hint that he was gonna go off the deep end and commit to being a symbol of hate. Thus he would get his dues.
Right now, the entire Game of Thrones fandom is experiencing an Anime Only Ending.
And much like when this happens in anime, I now have everyone asking me to explain things because I'm the only person they know who have read the -manga- -light- novels. Truly, it has all come full circle.
Holy shit, I had seen the guy who made an anime version of GoT's theme, but now I realize he held the truth: IT WAS AN ANIME ADAPTATION ALL ALONG!!!
Yea and a great adaptation isn't that cool ^^
@@elie2133 Great visuals, great acting (mostly), great audio, but plot simplification got worse and worse as we neared the end. Not that bad for an adaptation actually.
@@RayleighJones there were some problem but the plot was fine. Most of the critizism Ive seen was about 1 or 2 scenes which clearly doesn't spoil a whole season and the ending was good to me.

welcome to the club
What a coincidence i just finished it 5 min ago too then I was recommended this video
Hey me too
Ah I was sobbing for like 5 minutes.
Same I cried so much😭
imo one of the best things about the ending of Code Geass is realizing that Lelouch truly meant everything he said and stood by. He lead with the King, and he really did want to rid the world of tyrannical rulers and he made sure to kill the last one at the end of it all.
I feel like the anime could have only ended with lelouch dying, since his most famous line is 'the only ones who should kill are those prepared to die themselves'
@@lilchromieYeah the creators said it was the only logical path for Lelouch, it was an atonement for the sins he committed, and proof he would always hold to his ideals, even at the cost of his own life. Such a beautiful anime.

You forgot to mention when:
You enjoy the first season of an anime, but it never gets more season.
You continue with the manga, but soon you're getting out of chapters and still no sign of ending.
You realize it's actually based of a light novel and continue with that.
You read everything and still don't know how it will end.
"The author is dead."
Kaze no Stigma. I was watching it on funimation, and when the end came, I was sad that the story was never quite finished.
@@ericbloodsmith5161 Ah, yes. I also watched the anime, and at least another season would've been good. Although if I remember correctly it could've been even longer.

Houseki No Kuni. Season 1 was beautiful, and the manga just went on hiatus.
There are so many ways to end an anime... And there's Code Geass
Edit: they're spoiling Attack on Titan manga in the replies so be careful
I don't know how that happened seriously...
It's because it an anime original. If Code Geass was based in Manga then people will say it's trash because Lelouch died just like in attack on titan
@@jadeorbigoso5212 aot literally tried to be like lelouch and the way it ended was bad
@@aryanshah4703 the aot ended in realistic way. CG ended up in idealistic way. The end of Aot was in a Cold war state
@@aryanshah4703 you can't just let the world into a pure good like code Geass just because one common died and the world just like yeah we're all good now unlike in Aot that the world reacts in realistic way, The Paradis Island focused their Military improvement and their numbers was increasing.
@@aryanshah4703 how it can be a shitty when it reflects to our world I mean the rumbling parallel to our World war II, when world war II ended there is still racism even the common enemy was gone there is still factions and chaos spreading around the world and the world enters in Cold war state. If outside humanity was gone, Eldia will fall and civil war in Paradis will be born. Paradis needs an enemy to focus their strength and people to fight other and not to their own nation. If you listen to Willy Tybur speech that Eldia runs out of enemy to fight and ended up fighting each other
The ending of code:geass was absolutely beautiful. if you remember, back in S1 lelouch started with moving the king piece in chess and in the ending he ended with dying as king lelouch similar to how a chess game ends.
Code geass put a hole in my heart that prevented me from doing just about anything for a few days

i love how every Gigguk video essay starts off with memes and jokes then ends with the most insightful and heartfelt speech about anime ever lol

@@queentechnol you owe it to yourself to watch the whole series then. It will make the ending even better for you.

*Code Geass music starts*
Me : I'm not crying, i'm not crying
also you: *crying*
It's a terrible day for rain
Roll on the floor, cry a lot.
I actually cried really fucking hard never cried this much for an anime or a movie or whatever this was too good
Seriously, the second Madder Sky started playing everything came back and hit me like a truck like I had just watched it for the first time yesterday.
The irony: in the case of Code Geass, the ending made me watch the show in the first place. I started the anime but didn't really keep up with it (maybe because of cat & pizza episodes). By accident I saw the famous ending scene and was baffled. I had to find out how Lelouch got there and experience everything. And I did and it was still worth it!
Yea the season 1 is not as good has the 2 but the good moment before the characters well... DIE are really nostalgic, the anime had a lot of problems to make but they still gave a great experience and i would love to see a remake that focus on making batter the secondaries character (and maybe killing nina in the way because nuclear warhead)
Same
Yea
For me I was somehow never spoiled for the ending but saw people praising it a lot
And I have to say I liked code geass but the ending made me love it
This might be me but I liked those filler episodes more and more as I rewatched. Maybe it’s because I know what is going to happen to these characters and want to savor every interaction they have with each other before it goes to hell.
@@zaintg2881 You know I thought about that a couple of minutes ago but please no, the artstyle is too iconic 😢
The skinny af characters, the big eyes, long nose. Please no like it's already good as it is. 😭
It's just one of the cases where leaving a show as it is, is better 🙂
12:52 The fact that this soundtrack elicits such a gut reaction from so many people is all the evidence one needs for the importance of a good ending. Holy shit did that catch me off guard.
Ending the video with Cowboy Bebop, Bang! damn. the feels.
And then no terror afterwards
True
Not really

Code geass has casted a spell upon me. I remember everything about the moment I finished the series. It was hard to fight back tears. Not only because lelouch died but due to the sheer amount of emotions put out in a span of few minutes. And now the two songs played towards the end still haunt me
The reason why I love Code Geass' ending is because Lelouch purposely made himself the last evil boss in the story, getting all the hate and chose the character of Zero (whom he made) to end the "evil" in the world.
At least, aot ch 139 is literal nightmare for me. Congratz on cg ending
Hearing the code geass ost kick in at the end gave me goose bumps.
"I destroyed...the world...and created...a...ne...w..."

Studio Madhouse: 404 Not Found
I mean, that's not always true. They did a good job with Hunter x Hunter 2011, giving enough closure even if it was open ended. Way better than what manga readers have been dealing with. 😏
Madhouse Always give a sense of closure to their anime first season because they knew since the very beginning that they weren't gonna make a second season to that 😂😂😂😂
Death note
Well i mean, Monster exist.
You call the ending of NGNL closure? That was a straight up cliffhanger
Code Geass and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood had the best endings
I agree 100 %
Cowboy bebop
"had" "Code Geass"
100% agree
and Steins;Gate
This comment won't age well
Too this day code geass is the only ending I’ve ever cried for
The only endings I cried for was the endings of Breaking Bad, True Detective S1 and Vinland Saga's last episode as well Code Geass'.
You didn't watch Zankyou No Terror.
Assassination classroom......
Death note for me. I was rooting for lights crazy ass the entire time.
The only endings I cried for are Cowboy Bebop, Code Geass and Evangelion 3.0+1.11. The first two because they were sad beautiful tragic endings and the last because I was hit with a wave of nostalgia as 17 years of being an Eva super fan hit me like a brick and I was left with the realization that the amazing journey was finally over in such a satisfying way.

Don't forget
JIBUUN WOOOOOOOOOOOO
oh i cried
Also, code geASS? really?
the fact that it was kinda over the top and stuff made it even batter for me! Im scared that this new movie
is not gonna stand up to the "Code Geass" Name
I had to look for a video to watch that praised Code Geass before I could head to bed. The ending left me in silent tears and they're still falling. I don't think I will ever watch it again because I think one watch through was enough to make it my all time favorite even after all the anime I've watched. It was a perfect ending, but damn.. if it wasn't painful. After cheering for his successes and only getting to be the viewer that remained loyal to him through season 1 and 2. I cursed his enemies, cheered for his success, and felt every bit of satisfaction as the anime came to a close. Even without knowing what Requiem Zero truly meant, I felt loyal till the end. I was rooting for him. Only after he died did I realize what I wanted most was simply for Lelouch to survive. But he got everything he wanted in the end, didn't he? ^^ almost.
well i know im a year late but if you felt empty inside after that you could watch the resurrection movie which actually becomes the new canon so the series can continue somehow.
@@syntex9673 that movie is shit and doesn't deserve to exist. they ruined amazing and probably the best ending in all of anime to make some more money off of a new movie
@@dedak25 its not that bad, and also it wasn't to make more money, but so that code geass can somehow continue, and anyways, even though its now the new canon you don't have to consider it to be, just be satisfied with the original ending
@@dedak25 the ending of S2 was not conclusive on if he died or not. Theres an old reddit thread explaining it and leaning towards him being alive. For me he is alive, just because I dont want C.C. to be sad.
also I didnt watch the last movie yet, so I might still think it to be shit.

Ash Ketchum: "Who needs definitive endings? Wouldn't you rather stay 10 years old and be on a journey in a foreign land forever?"
Pika pi!
Not if you never get laid.
The reason it still going is because the games are still selling. I recall an interview a director (I guess?) said that if Ash win a League, the story will end (which is absolute BS) and other plot points like Ash's dad actually appearing would only happen if they felt the need, AKA the show is getting low ratings. So yeah, the only way for us to get an actual plot development and a conclusion, is to NOT watch the anime...
@@SuperSylar
I gotta say though, Pokemon XY and XYZ was FUCKING AMAZING, Like holy shit. But you already know how it ends (-_-).
@@SuperSylar Oh I'm aware, Ash is just my prime example of how never ending a story can either ruin character (both Pikachu level and Ash's IQ seem to reset), or leave characters in purgatory (the decision that Ash won't win a League until they end the series). To top all that of, there is evidence in Japanese only promotional material for Mewtwo Strikes Back, that there was a plan flashforward scene where Misty was talking to her daughter, and Ash was implied to be the father. That's a (planned and scrapped) happy ever after for Ash that's very unlikely to happen after dragging out the series this long!!!
The more you think about Code Geas, the more you realize how amazing it truly was. I’m sure at some points people realized that the anime was sort of throwing shit at you but that ending really brought every single detail together and created one of the best endings to an anime, ever.
I forgot rolo for a bit and there are a ton of plot holes but the ending is so amazing.
@Tanvir _ Yeah I just finished code geass and it was easily the best ending I have ever seen in any anime
@@noahdanan4893 it is masterpiece
Code Ass can only impress you if you're not thinking what you're being shown. The ending in particular paints already not-so-genius-as-they-try-to-sell Lelouch as irresponsible tantrum-throwing manchild with insane troll logic, who got all the opportunities to reach his life's goal but screwed it all over, undone all of his accomplishments and sent the world deeper down the shithole for no reason that would be justified by plot. Only so that he could "tragically" die and make you, naive viewers, cry over him. That's not what I call good writing.
@@user-co3uc8vt7e Cool thought but i don't remember anyone asking
I also loved the Clannad: After Story ending. It's one of the things that turned it into my favorite anime of all time, it was similar to the Code Geass ending in the sense that it was built up throughout the entirety of the anime and it was just so god damn satisfying in the end. FMAB's ending is also awesome, and Fruits Basket. Those are the best I can think of.
Fruits Basket and Clannad definetely had satisfying ending, so the titles stick in my heart.
The ending of code geass was sad, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. It made lelouch's goal and motivation clear, how much he stuck to his word, and how he tried to pay for his sins

Those r myths
"Sometimes is about the journey not the destination. But when you have a breathtaking destination it can give even more meaning to that journey and make that entire voyage you took that much more extraordinary" -Gigguk 14:43
Holy shit this is such a powerful quote
The best part about that is the shows he flashes during that quote. ''Sometimes is about the journey not the destination.'' - Shows HunterXHunter, Gon climbing up to meet Ging whos about to tell him its about the journey not the destination. ''But when you have a breathtaking destination'' - YoriMoi In Antartica "Meaning to that Journey" - Finding Shirase's Mum's laptop. "that entire voyage you took" - Shows the terrible yet bonding ship ride to antartica they took.
Gigguk truly has a way with these things, perfect choice of music and shows.
and a bookwalker sponsor
all while playing the song from the ending of Code Geass
Sure gave me goosebumbs
this reminds me alot of kamen rider blade, probably the kamen rider with the worst first act, but conversely, its also the one with the best ending. to the point you look back and dont even remember its crappy start.
that's why im 100% into the a good ending is better than a good start. and also why i always end up disapointed with gainax work... the butchery they did to kare kano is pehaps reason enough to never desire anything from them.
assassination classroom had an epilogue too, it was needed with the tears dripping down my face. I never expected a comedy anime to hit so hard, easily a top ending for sure
Yeah, assassination classroom had a really great epilogue. I just wished SPOILER
we would see Kaede and Nagisa ending up toogether because that was so sad.
You know how great the Code Geass R2 ending was? Even those tiny snippets in this video made me cry. That's how great it was.
Code Geass had such a good ending, not only because it was good plot wise, but also because in had a ton of themes in from the actual show. One of the obvious ones is Lelouch saying “You shouldn’t kill unless you’re willing to die yourself,” which he holds as an ideal to the end. Another really good part about that scene was the way it included contrast so well. During the entire show (and I know this because I literally finished rewatching it this morning,) one of the prevailing techniques is contrast. In most of the episodes you’ll find intense situations contrasted with relaxed through sudden cuts and the whatnot. In the final scene, the contrast is between the cheers from the crowd as ‘Zero’ kills Lelouch, the fanfare, and Nunnally crying over her brother’s dead body. This manages to wrap up the themes of contrast really well, and this paragraph is rlly long oh god
And that gets even more overwhelming when you also figure out that *THE WHOLE SCENE ORCHESTRATED BY LELOUCH TO COMPLETE HIS END GOAL*. And not just the audience but along with the characters that were in the dark about this. This gets me the most. Because every part of the scene has a logical answer to exist. It was such an ending that needed ZERO change.
To add to this, another of Lelouch's principles was 'the end justifies the means', where the end goal of global peace justified his sacrifice.
Why I think Code Geass and other classics have great endings is because they know when the story ends, they have a vision for it, and end it there without trying to milk it as much as possible, thus the story stays true to its themes. Lelouch wanted people to be happy, and that was it, no need for a surprise extra arc where C.C. becomes a giant space mecha and fights intergalactic aliens.
Oh for SURE. Another interesting contrast is the COMPLETE switch between Lelouch and Suzaku. For the entire series, Lelouch was fighting desperately for his and Nunally's survival. Meanwhile, Suzaku was fighting mostly because he had a death wish: he feels guilty for causing his father's death and so wants to atone for his sin by committing himself to reckless acts of selflessness that may or may not kill him in the end. And yet... the ending completely flips the table: Lelouch, the person who considered himself "King" of the chessboard--the invaluable piece that must lead the charge but inevitably is more important than everyone else, sacrifices himself to uphold the Zero Reqiuem and Suzaku, he who thought himself disposable ended up having to bear the cross of becoming Zero--the symbol of destruction and revolution (which he also despised at the beginning of the series). Lelouch solved his problems by becoming exactly the opposite of what he thought he needed to be and so did Suzaku.
i am not reading any of this, I love code geass and i know u guys are saying good. So lets leave it to that.
The resurrection movie isn’t a sequel to the original show though, it’s a sequel to the rebuild movies that nobody watched
I regret watching Code Geass, because now I can never be satisfied by another anime

Update from 2023: damn I cried 😭
Shows like Fullmetal Alchemist 2003, Code Geass, Macross left such an impact because they gave a beautiful end to a beautiful voyage. Like the feeling you get after reaching home after being away from it while travelling for a long time and it just makes you feel warm in your heart like you found peace. I remember watching Gantz and then suddenly seeing an ending which I never thought would happen in such a stupid way so I checked the manga and read it whole to find it's ending and stilll waiting for mushoku tensei to end in its original ending.
I just finished code geass yesterday and the ending made me cry, it was such a beautiful ending.
All hail lelouch 😭
Just because Code Geass was in this video and the feels train the ending gave all of us
ALL HAIL LELOUCH
Lelouch vi Britannia!
Hail Lulu
Woulda hail lelouch vi britannia anyway ALL HAIL LELOUCH
I can still cry with Nunally if I only go to see that scene
All hail Britannia. All hail Lelouch.

It's an overrated anime that tries to make you think it's great, but it isn't.
This is probably the 10th time I am watching this video, but god damn, that Lelouch death scene and that "Bang!" by Spike still give me goosebumps. Well done.
Until now, the Code Geass ending still sticks with me after all this time
Yeahhh...tbh I never watched the movies just the season 1&2 for me is enough...I think my view if code geass will be ruined if I watched it. Lelouch sacrificing himself is the perfect ending and I cant take any other ending so beautiful and powerful as that :))
That joke about never getting Spice and Wolf season 3 actually hurt me.
I read the light novels after season 2. All 20 of them. I don’t regret it, it develops into what I would call the best romance I’ve ever experienced. But it did leave me wishing for a season 3 even more. :(
At least you got an S2, I'm still waiting for that on No Game No Life

Code gay ass
Even tough angel beats is often laughed at, for all of its flaws, it will forever have a special place in my heart for having such a touching ending. It was so full of emotions, it made me forget about all the plot issues and incoherences, just to put me in a state of bitter sweet melancholy, as if I knew the cast and was seeing them for the last time. And that's what a great ending is able to do in my opinion.
Farewell, angel beats
Still thinking does kaede and him met up on real life ?
@@Votaru we can only imagine that they did. But there's an alternative end on ytb where otonashi stays in the school and waits for kanade to come back.

After watching code geaus I couldn't watch any other anime for a couple of days cause it set the standard too high everything really does happen for a reason ,that was the last anime I cried on...this is 4 weeks ago lol
TBH code geass ending wasn't something I expected
I expected lelouch to tell most of the people about his plan but turns out that the plan was to sacrifice himself
I was so shocked and speechless that I can't even explain it
I was so depressed to the point that I thought about nothing else for a week or more
Other animes have great ending that are built up to the entire show.
Darling in the Franxx:
No
the ending made me feel empty and starved for more afterwards.
That ending wanted me to kill myself, I mean they better make a DITF ending redo.
KevinCaveMan x no people miss the point with the darling in the franxx ending. First off the whole show isn’t meant to be taken literally. It’s just a giant metaphor on life (friendships to family to romance to sexuality), death, rebirth, and the beauty of impermanence. The final scenes weren’t what we wanted, the characters deserved much better, but it’s okay because in life these things happen (I believe Kokoro even said that exact phrase at one point). A lot of the beauty of the show to me came from the fact that there were these incredible, beautiful moments scattered in their cruel world (whatever world or situation that may be, as it doesn’t matter) and the characters slowly come to realize that the important thing is to hold on to those moments. They aren’t afraid that they’re going to their deaths at the end, because they’re together and they’re giving back to the people they care about.
Eren Jaeger exactly. I’ve seen a lot of anime and I mean a lot. That’s why darling in the Franxx is my all time fav no debate simply because of the beauty of it. No other one I’ve watched has touched me the way it does. It’s not one of the best ever, but personally it’s my favorite.
Honestly the last episode was good (i rly enjoyed it), and the very very end where child Hiro and 02 meet again under the old tree gave me so many feels. Although the few episodes before the last were a bit of a cluster fuck.
*Code Geass OST Madder Sky starts playing*
My whole body immediately covered in goosebumps
*_JIBUN WOES._*
what about OST the master?
Man, an unbelievable journey in a country far, far ago....
One of the anime I started with and still holds place one to this day...
I think the ending of Cowboy Bebop will stay for me for the rest of my life, it's such a simple yet perfect ending to a great character and a great world. There was no other way to end Spike's story after the choices he made and I think the entire final episode is a complete masterpiece.
One of my favorite anime endings of all time is Kamisama kiss. It was an anime that I never really felt attached to, and I was limping through it to get to the end. But Oh. My. God. That is an ending I will never forget, and it made the entire anime leagues better.
The manga was even better! It is one of my all time favorites.

@@arthuriapendragon2562 You've got to say that Madhouse is freaking dedicated. They made this amazing adaptation, only to disappoint us with years of waiting. And then they made this crazy movie, building hopes up for reviving the anime series, to then drop it again and smash our hopes again. They are truly dedicated to crushing our hopes as painful as they can!
Code Geass was one of the first animes I watches and its still one of my favorites because the ending was so powerful and satisfying with the way it came full circle. I rewatched a few years ago and when Lelouch first gets Geass, he says something along the lines of "Those that kill should be prepared to kill." Lemme tell you I got chills.
I’ve seen hundreds of anime and read thousands of manga. It was one of my first animes too and it still gets me to think about the world having one common enemy.

wait, cowboy bebop and code geass were anime originals?
jesus I wasn't expecting those awesome things to not have source material they were based on
...Wait, you didn't realize that all the best anime are originals?
I mean, okay, a lot of anime originals are garbage, but the majority of the best of the best, the anime we really remember, is originals.
Bebop, Geass, Gundam, Champloo, Eva, FLCL, Gurren, Eureka 7, Darker Than Black, Lain, Nadia, Gunbuster, Escaflowne, Psycho-pass, Utena (had a manga, but the manga and tv series kinda did their own things, and were conceived at the same time-neither was strictly an adaptation), Dennō Coil, Eden of the East, and pretty much every Trigger production...
Generally, if a show seems *really* interesting and unusual, it tends to be an anime original. There are, of course, exceptions (everything ONE's ever written, for... erm... one).

@@donpax8556 full of leaking ink.
Code Geass is absolutely one of my favorite anime of all time and that ending is unbelieveably memorable. However, I'm also on the boat that Lelouch didn't die. Lelouch was that character that just had everything figured out and when you thought he was always 1 step ahead, he was actually 10. I want to see that when he killed his father that he took the code that he in turn had taken from V2. Thus Lelouch gained immortality and survived that day, but made it seem like he died in a way to watch over his little sister and to make C2's dream of making her life complete a reality. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the ending of the movie when Lelouch was revived. How he and C2 moved on living eternity out together. The orginal ending of the series is amazing, but so was the ending of movie. L2!?!?!!?! THAT WAS THE MOST ADORABLE AND WHOLESOME SHIT I EVER SEEN!!!!!!! And to me, both the original ending of the show and the last movie, which I don't care what the writer or anyone else says, that movie is the continuation of the series. Both of those scenes, the part where Lelouches plan comes to fruition and the scene where he finally, in the most adorable way, proposes to C2 will always stick with me forever.
Code geass has one of the most unforgettable ending if all times. Calling this anime a masterpiece is just a understatement.
