Code Geass 00
Posted by Jin on 2008, July 8
Sunrise’s magnificent unification of Code Geass and Gundam 00.
- CC is the mother of VV, whose father is JJ, an advanced alien from Jupiter, who are in fact the ‘gods’ that the Emperor wishes to destroy.
- Shirley is alive because her innate Geass of immortality is activated when Lelouch ordered her to ‘live’. However, the sudden impact of having Geass puts her into stasis for 400 years.
- The Empress was staging a rebellion against the Emperor under information given by CC, but it was discovered by Schneizel and VV, gay lovers who vow to support the Emperor, but Schneizel is in fact waiting for the right chance to overthrow him.
- Nunnally is the sister of VV and the mastermind behind the forces arrayed against the Emperor. After finding out that Schneizel ordered a hit on Marianne, Nunnally using her dual Geass gives Cornelia the Geass power of ‘illusion’, which provokes Lelouch to rebel against the Emperor as well as allow Marianne to escape using her own Geass of ‘immaterialization’. As a bonus, Nunnally was ‘disabled’ which further angered Lelouch.
- Jeramiah is in fact loyal; his evil clone Jericho is the one who wounded Sayako and ‘killed’ Shirley. Jericho is evil and loyal to VV. Rollo was about to shoot Shirley when Jericho used his Geass Canceller Canceller to completely shut down Rollo’s Geass, who ran away.
- Jericho’s clone, Jesus, is an extension of Code R(esurrection), a secret Britannian project to harness the power of the gods (AKA, aliens) and use it against them. Jesus, however, only fights for himself, having been corrupted by JJ long before his activation. Jesus will use the Geass Canceller Canceller Canceller to fight his two ‘brothers’.
- After Zero’s eventual takeover of the Britannian Empire, the Emperor reveals an ancient ‘Solar Furnace’, which is powerful enough to lift the entire Temple into space. The Black Knights, finding further Solar Furnaces in the ruins beneath the Temple, install them onto their mothership and Guren Mk.3.
- Anya, Nunnally’s spy, betrays the schematics of the New Britannian Empire’s base on the Moon, AKA Celestial Being. This allows the Black Knights to attack their Moon base. However, due to the power vacuum created by the Britannian exodus from Earth, the globe unites into three superpowers, which forces Zero to first secure his new Union. Anya is caught by Gino, but extracted by a raiding party led by Cornelia. CC, realizing Anya’ possible usefulness in the future, puts her into stasis along with Shirley.
- The three-way war between Celestial Being, the Union, and the Jupiter fleet led by JJ (who has come to reclaim the Earth) is inconclusive; Celestial Being, drained of resources, disappears further into space, the aliens are defeated because of the many Geass powers given by Nunnally, and the Union is too occupied with their ground war. This continues for another 300 years.
- Shirley and Anya wakes up from stasis to find Xingke, whose body is held together by a robotic suit. Under orders from Nunnally, and with help from CC, they manage to infiltrate and wrest control of Celestial Being from the inside. The Emperor is finally killed (Schneizel died of old age centuries ago, his ambitions unfulfilled). Together, they prepare Celestial Being against a second coming of the Jupiter invasion.
- VV in secret survives the ordeal, escaping to Earth and forming a secret unnamed group, which slowly takes over most of the world’s corporation from inside. He begins the building of next-generation Code R androids.
And of course, at the end of Gundam 00, we found out that the Earth was in the process of becoming prototype Britannia, which means the two stories are actual cyclic; Britannia forms, Earth forces fracture, Britannia flees to space where they are manipulated to repel yet another Jupiter invasion. Earth forms again under the threat of Britannia, thereby creating Britannia. And on it goes.
(This has been one hell of an Epileptic Tree. Thank you for your time.)
