I read something about the original plans for Code Geass R2...

[doctorcasey.livejournal.com]

Once upon a time, I read that in the original version of R2, Shirley was supposed to live the whole way through and eventually start a relationship with Lelouch. The final episodes of the series centered around the Black Knights HeadQuarters being invaded by Britannia, so Lelouch decides to consumnate the relationship during the final moments available to him; there was a lengthy and fairly explicit sex scene planned between Lelouch and Shirley in the final episode. Suzaku breaks into the room and stabs Lelouch from behind while they're in the middle of intercourse, however, slaying his best friend during his happiest moments (Shirley breaks down in tears afterwards, a role that was recycled with Nunnally in the officially-aired R2).

Does anyone know if what I read is true? I love R2 the way it is, but I have to admit this would have been an interesting ending and I'd have liked to see the fandom's response to it.

I am 100% sure that is fake, but I would have paid a thousand dollars to actually see it animated.

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

I would have loved to see Nunnally burst into the scene right alongside Suzaku AFTER SHE HAD REGAINED HER SIGHT and just go 'Oh, Lulu nii-sama~~?'

Non-virgin Lelouch is always a lie.

[glamorousdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh man, this gots ne laughing out loud in front of family! lol Now my cousin is asking me what's up. Anyways, this is just an awesome comment, an an awesome laugh to wake and see with coffee. Thanks!

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

Or OP is trolling, but amusingly so.
And...wouldn't Suzaku stab Shirley also?

[shirogiku.livejournal.com]

Hahah, Suzaku must have taken special pleasure in this: "NO HET SEX FOR YOU, ONLY BUTTSEXORZ!"

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a few seconds after reading "Suzaku breaks into the room and stabs Lelouch from behind while they're in the middle of intercourse" I thought "...OH right they mean, like, with a sword."

[konart.livejournal.com]

Fake, lol

best gif. Best.

[syaoranmew.livejournal.com]

Sure, like they would show explicit sex on a broadcasted anime

[lavaliere]

Hey, they managed to broadcast Nina fucking a table and Villetta's tits.

[shanejayell.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah, fake.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

There's an interview somewhere where the people in charge say that while other episodes in R2 were changed, the final episode of R2 - the Zero Requiem ending - is basically exactly the same as original plans.

So no, that's a fake. It's a pretty OOC sounding fake, too.

[lavaliere]

It was changed due to CG being moved from a late night time slot to a prime time time slot, but the changes only explain things like the China arc and the inclusion of Rolo's character.

[lavaliere]

ROLO DEMANDS AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS BULLSHIT.



No, but in all seriousness? The original R2 was different but had to be rewritten due to scheduling changes. The result we get? Rolo. Yes, that's right. ROLO. And then Shirley getting bumped off as a result. sry2say.

In fact, the staff apparently adores Rolo (if you know what the Wesley is, that's Rolo in a nutshell). And don't quote me on it, but there's been discussion that Rolo is essentially the writers' avatar for their frustration at having to rewrite season 2? IDK I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS.

But anyway. If Lelouch couldn't manage to tap dat C.C. ass when he had the chance, there's no way he would've hooked up with Shirley.

The only thing I can say that I like about this "potential" ending is that either way, Lelouch gets impaled by Suzaku. Homolust end confirmed forever.

You mean this?

Also, that gif goes so perfectly with winterfox's idea (http://community.livejournal.com/code_geass/1697628.html?thread=25363036#t25363036) above.

[kiraya.livejournal.com]

Well I lol'd.

[angels-archives.livejournal.com]

Wow! I've never heard of that theory but it sure sounds so fun! LelouchxShirleyxSuzaku for the win! If it was animated... well... I'm sure Code Geass would have R3!

[lavaliere]

We already have an R3 through R5 courtesy of /a/.

[welyn.livejournal.com]

I thought you look familiar (http://community.livejournal.com/code_geass/?poster=doctorcasey).

[lavaliere]

1) Damn, I'm sorry I missed that post.

2) Wank in this fandom isn't as fun as it used to be. :(

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Entertaining! Someone should write it.

I remember something about the creators saying they always knew what was going to happen in episode one of season one, in the last episode of season one, and the last episode of season two. It was the getting there that was tricky, but those elements were well-fixed. Can't cite my references, though.

[strikekira105.livejournal.com]

This would have been far better than the actual ending, with the additional benefit of making all the yaoi fangirls' heads explode in the messiest manner possible. Oh, what could have been.

[shirogiku.livejournal.com]

want do you have against us, huh?XD we're mostly harmless and amiable:P

and it's funny that this ending still has yaoi, only mixed with hetXD

[woodwind.livejournal.com]

it's nice that after all these years, we have posts like this.

[aprilclydel-ac.livejournal.com]

Agree. *nods*

[aprilclydel-ac.livejournal.com]

Ya know, this caught me off-guard.

Truth to tell I am 100% sure this is fake, but fun nonetheless. ^^

[clarisajeane.livejournal.com]

its fake...

[kezwick.livejournal.com]

^All I can really say. 0_o

[genji-93.livejournal.com]

fake. this has GOT to be a fake story D:< that's just.../wtf

[chibitamako.livejournal.com]

Lelouch/Shirley ending?? HELL NO even if it is fake hell no, but Lelouch getting stabbed while having intercourse sounds so freaking hilarious I'm still laughing well except I didn't want him to loose it with Shirley instead I wanted it to be CC or Kallen or hell even Milly xD

[fantasygirl49.livejournal.com]

lol i couldn't help laughing reading all the comments above, but i do agree with everyone it's fake; it would be totally out of characters for lelouch or suzaku or even shirley.

WTF

[francesca orsetti (from livejournal.com)]

The final episodes of the series centered around the Black Knights HeadQuarters being invaded by Britannia, so Lelouch decides to consumnate the relationship during the final moments available to him

Impossible.

there was a lengthy and fairly explicit sex scene

Ever more impossible.

Suzaku breaks into the room and stabs Lelouch from behind while they're in the middle of intercourse

More and more impossible.

[snoozy.livejournal.com]

hahaha, this is better than 4chan stuff.
Anyway, like everyone has said all of the above is barbie fake; it is true however, that R2 was supposed to have a few different things than the ones we actually had delivered but eeer, what can you do?
