Sunrise will hold an event on December 18, 2023 to announce the development of Z of the Recapture, which will be a new entry in the Code Geass franchise. Guests who will be present include Jun Fukuyama, who voices Lelouch, and Yoshimitsu Oohashi, who will be the director. [Thanks, Comic Natalie!]
During the event, Sunrise will reveal the main cast, as well as an exclusive teaser. Since it also happens to be Lelouch’s birthday, there will be special airings of episode 6 of the first season and episode 5 of the second season. For reference, S1E06 was the episode when Arthur, Suzaku’s cat, stole Lelouch’s iconic Zero mask. S2E05 was the one when Ashford Academy threw a giant party to commemorate Suzaku returning. Both episodes are fairly lighthearted, focusing more on shenanigans than the rebellion. There will also be a stream of the event, though it will not be free.
Code Geass: Z of the Recapture is a direct sequel to Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection, which was a movie that came out in 2019. It’s a new story unlike the previous compilation ones, and it takes place about a year after Zero Requiem. There’s a single key visual for it right now and it shows a completely new cast of characters. Despite how popular he remains, it’s highly unlikely that Lelouch will make an appearance considering the timeline of Z of the Recapture.
Code Geass is readily available for streaming via services like Crunchyroll. More information on Z of the Recapture will come out on December 18, 2023.
