Description Code Geass - Farewell?
[Episode- R2 22]

The title for this one is oddly fitting. As well as the scene itself. It's both up in the air. Are these goodbyes really goodbye? Will this really be my last Code Geass 4koma?
Even I don't know the answer to either until the end.
After this week I don't expect to make any more Code Geass 4komas. See my journal entry for more details.
If I'm happy with the end of the series I will make 4komas for the last three episodes. If I don't then they end here.

I'd really like to continue these series of 4komas, but if the series finale irritates me I don't see how I could. That ending would always be on my mind while working on them. If a series end irritates you, do you always want to keep thinking about it week after week after week? I would think not and I would hope everyone wouldn't expect me do be some kind of masochist.

I paid special attention to the angles and the settings in this 4koma. Nearly everything is like it appears in the episode. With the exception of the last panel.
I really wanted to get their position right in compared to the scene of the episode.
The backgrounds are what took the longest here. Funny enough what took a LONG time to get right was the decorative railing on the hand rails of the steps.

You'd be amazed how tricky it can be to draw a kissing scene. You basically have to start out with two circles that slightly over lap. Not too much though or it will look like they have half their head in each others mouths. Even more so when you draw the angle of the lips.
For the attentive you may notice I was trying something different with Kallen's hair. I just wanted it to look softer and have more of a flow to it while in the headband.

[SPOILER WARNING!!]
A recent interview with Kallen's VA was released. She talks about how Kallen was never sure of her own feelings for Lelouch until she kissed him. Before she was never sure if what she felt was just loyalty, but after the kiss she realized that she really likes this guy.
The scene itself never shows that reaction. It would seem odd that the character finally realizes she feels that way and suddenly moves on. I would only expect that the reason they didn't do it there is, because there will be a scene later on.
This gives me some level of hope for a good ending to the series.
It's just that if this series rushes some pairing with a character like Gino in these last three episodes after that scene. I will never forgive this series.

I hope you enjoy. Please be sure to post comments. I look forward to reading comments.

If you watch the scene of these two kissing. You will notice that you see both their tongues. He couldn't say anything to her or she would of joined him. Lelouch wanted Kallen to be free from the fate he had planned. He wanted her to be free and happy with her mother.

That was very nicely done. I really love lulouchXKallen! It's such a shame that they rewrote the script of the second season because they changed the time slot. Sigh. It would have been interesting to see what they originally planned for the series. There were a lot of questions they left unanswered. Anyways, great job! I especially love the way you did the background!

I think you've been reading some things that are off. From everything I've read, that are interviews with the writers and director. They have said that while there were some things they wanted to do. The ultimate end didn't change.

KittyNeko-kun In reply to FoxxFireArt [2009-01-19 18:50:25 +0000 UTC]

I'm not saying the end changed. Just a lot of things went unanswered. Like C.C.'s name or Kallen's brother. Oh well. Still one of my favorite series.

FoxxFireArt In reply to Sukichan12 [2008-11-22 08:37:13 +0000 UTC]

What never happens? They kiss and there have been a lot of post finale details released that shows Lelouch's and Kallen's relationship to be more of a tragic romance. Seems everything for Lelouch was tragic.
If you look at it like this. In this moment Lelouch was pretending not to know anyone, but actually requested time alone with her. Now that we know Zero's Requiem was about his death in the end. It's like Lelouch wanted to see her one last time before he went to his death.
In the end she at least got to understand him.

Sukichan12 In reply to FoxxFireArt [2008-11-22 23:33:03 +0000 UTC]

Sorry, that never happened before. I see your point though. Lelouch did still care about her, even till the end. Aww, that actually is sweet. Yeah, poor Lelouch, I think the line 'With great power comes great responsibility' comes into play here. But he didn't deserve that. But he sort of did. I think at the end of it all, there was no true villian in Code Geass (unless you count Charles). It's because they showed both sides of the situation to never define a villian or give a proper ending, just like the series itself. I think that they designed the series so that it could be open for interpretation, which is a good thing.

I really loved that scene though, it made me cry and the mood of the story more touching and intriguing. Well done in portraying the comic side of that.

This scene confuses me. This was either extremely romantic, or utterly tragic.
It seems like he's keeping her way to keep her safe, and it doesn't seem like she will ever realize what he's done.

Poor Lelouche... pretty much everyone's deserted him, if not physically, then spiritually. Even C.C. just kind of seems to be following him along without any particular point now, like she didn't have anything better to do. Really made me mad how thoroughly Kaguya bought into the "evil overlord Lelouche" thing without even slipping in a single pleading exclamation of "But...!"

So yeah, figures these two would only finally get an uninterrupted scene when they're saying goodbye! And now Lelouche is left with no one to rely on but Suzaku...

... and his little hot dog.

I'm not watching the last three episodes until the series is over. I haven't seen the latest episode.

What irritates me is that Kallen may never get to know the truth. I'll be pissed if at least she doesn't get to understand what he's trying to do. Especially, after that kiss. He obviously cares about her. He's trying to keep her away for her own good.

faernen In reply to ??? [2008-09-15 18:15:12 +0000 UTC]

I loved this scene but... Lelouch will surely die at the end.

He WANTS to die... he want to die in the "Requiem of Zero" (the name is enough to understand it), he wants to die like the worst villain ever, this way people will forget about Euphie.

He reminds me Leto (from Dune) : being hated and sacrificing himself for humanity's sake.
And nobody thanks him for that.

It's not the fact that he will die that makes me sad (since the beginning (when he gets the Geass) it was obvious for me), it's the fact that everyone will remember him as a monster.

But yeah, I don't want Kallen to go with Gino... She has to cry for Lelouch


And a strange thing : I (nearly) like Suzaku now... All my hate for him goes to Shneizel now... Strange (or not)
