Official Report

The first act of "Code Geass: Retribution of Lelouch", a new animation of the "Code Geass" series consisting of four acts, finally started screening in theaters on May 10 (Fri.)! Set in the former Hokkaidou block of United States Japan, five years after the previous film "Lelouch of Resurrection," the story follows mercenary brothers Rosé and Ash as they confront the Neo-Britannian Empire. The day after the film's release, May 11 (Sat.), a commemorative stage greeting was held at Shinjuku Wald 9, with Kohei Amasaki, who plays the main character Rosé, Rena Ueda, who plays Sakuya, director Eishimitsu Ohashi, and producer Kojiro Taniguchi on stage. The greeting was filled with behind-the-scenes stories from the postrecording sessions.

Ms. Amasaki, Ms. Ueda, Director Ohashi, and Producer Taniguchi appeared in the theater immediately after the screening and began the stage greeting. Director Ohashi, when asked how he felt about the film's release yesterday, said with a relieved expression, "After raising a child, it's a great feeling to finally be able to present it to the world," while Ms. Amasaki smiled, "This film was created by a cast and crew full of love for Code Geass, so I'm glad to be here for its coming-of-age ceremony! I'm happy to be able to attend the coming-of-age ceremony!" he smiled. Ueda, who will be attending the stage greeting for this work for the first time today, said, "I am relieved that everyone will finally be able to see this work after a long period of postrecording. You were fooled, weren't you? he asked mischievously. In response, producer Taniguchi said, "I was wondering what kind of face you would make when you see the scene where the secret is revealed, but I did it! He seemed to feel a great sense of satisfaction from the reaction of the audience.

The next topic was the recording of the postrecording. Mr. Amasaki said, "We listened to each other's performances hard in the postrecording studio and worked closely together to create the character. Mr. Ueda said, "We didn't discuss how we were going to act during the breaks, but just listened to each other's plays and got a good feeling for each other. Director Ohashi was surprised when he heard about the secret story behind the post recording, saying, "I thought they were discussing in detail about their performance.

When asked about the other characters besides Rose and Sakuya that caught his attention, Mr. Amasaki replied, "Ash is perfect. He's cool, strong, cute, and kind of out of it (laughs). Talking about the Einberg, a group of knights under the direct control of the emperor of Neo-Britannia, Mr. Ueda said of his favorite character, Catherine, "When we were recording, the character was still in its uncolored state, but the color scheme and [Mr. Higashiyama's] voice were just like Catherine's. Everything was just like Catherine! Everything is Catherine (laughs). (Laughs.) There are still many aspects of her in the first act that we don't know, but she is a character that I can't help but hate, and I really care about her. Ohashi also commented on the unpredictability of the film, saying, "During postrecording, the cast members would ask me, 'I won't die next week, will I? (laugh). When the topic turned to nightmare frames, the conversation continued with a passionate discussion of the appeal of the battle scenes, including Mr. Amasaki's recreation of the pose of Zi-Apollo, which Ash is riding in. Director Ohashi also commented, "I want people to pay attention to the flow of Zi-Apollo from the moment it enters Zeta mode and fights to the finish line, because every movement has meaning. Also, Zi-Apollo, as well as the other Nightmare Frames, move according to the personalities of the characters on board, so their movements are different from each other," he said.

After the photo session, which included a recreation of Sakuya's geassing pose, the audience was invited to speak one by one about their messages to the fans. Producer Taniguchi said, "It is thanks to all of you that we have been able to continue the series for 18 years and that we were able to make a new start in the 18th year with "Retrieval of Rosé". Please enjoy every act until the final act and see how Rosé and Sakuya will end up." Director Ohashi thanked the audience and said, "Please help Rosé grow with your help. Mr. Ueda said, "There will be exciting developments in the second act and beyond. I can't go into too much detail because it would be a spoiler, but I can say that this is a very "Code Geass-like" production filled with love and respect for the series, and I hope you will continue to enjoy it. Mr. Amasaki, who says he was raised on the "Code Geass" series, added, "The ending lyrics say 'It lives forever,' and I hope to make this a work that will be passed down forever. The first act was released as the first step toward that goal, so I would be happy if you could visit the theater as many times as you like and give it a lot of thought before the second act begins showing." As for spoilers, "There is a spoiler-free comment video on the Code Geass YouTube channel, so please use it properly." The greeting closed with a comment that took into account the feelings of fans who wanted to share their impressions of the film.
