Director Goro Taniguchi's message
The starting point of Lelouch's wish, which was depicted in the previous work "I Kodo," is an infinitely life-size and personal one.
What appears on the surface is anger toward his mother country, but at the root is kindness, which was also a key point in the composition of the film.

In this sequel, "II Rebel Road," the world is set in motion by his actions,
The wishes, dreams, and thoughts of numerous people different from Lelouch will come out.
We have packed so many thoughts and feelings into this film that it is bewildering at first glance. This is because we want to involve not only the characters but also
the audience in such a storm.

One of the thoughts that make up the storm may be a dream that Lelouch can share.
Another may be a wish that he cannot allow.

Salvation is not a word shared by all, but a wing that can only be passed on to those who embrace the same world.
As an individual's wish spreads to society as a whole, who will be the one to flap his wings?

Once again, the film is over two hours long.
The amount of information is also extraordinary. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we hope you will bear with us.
