Kallen gets the epilogue. We see her running late for school, toast in her mouth, as if this were some kind of anime.

All the energy that used to go to war now goes to ending poverty and improving people's lives.

The End.

Show thread

To make a peaceful world where people could be kind to one another.

Lelouch's last words, that only Nunnaly can hear: I destroy the world and remake it anew.

Show thread

Zero is played by Suzaku. This is their plan: Zero Requiem. To focus all the world's hate on one man, then remove him.

They have planned this from Charles' death.

Lelouch falls down to Nunnaly's feet. She is shocked to realize that this was always the plan.

Show thread

Two months later, Lelouch is attending the execution of his enemies. Nunnaly is chained at his feet. All the world hates him.

Suddenly, along his route, Zero appears! With lighting speed, he breaks past the guards, disarms Lelouch and plunges a sword through his heart.

Show thread

All Lelouch has to do to win is throw away the last thing that ever caused him to pause, use his geass on Nunnaly, and take the Damocles Key.

But will he cross the Rubicon?

Yes.

Lelouch becomes emperor of the world.

Show thread

Lelouch breaks into the Damocles, properly predicts Schneizel's plan, and geasses him.

But Schneizel doesn't have the detonator for the annihilation bombs. Nunnaly does.

Lelouch has to confront her.

Show thread

The Britannian homeland is in disarray. Lelouch cannot requisition more troops on a reasonable timeframe.

That means this is the decisive battle. Lelouch and his current force vs the Black Knights and Schneizel's Damocles.

Winner take all. The entire world.

Show thread

Then the capital of Britannia is vaporized. The floating fortress, Damocles, is loaded with annihilation bombs.

Schneizel and Cornelia never returned to the homeland, but they give Lelouch a call to contest his authority. They have an alternative candidate.

It's Nunnaly.

Show thread

Britannia applies to join the UFN.

This won't work. Votes in the UFN are apportioned by population. If Britannia joins, it will have a majority. To join is to conquer.

Lelouch asks politely, but with Suzaku and the Lancelot pointing its weapons at the delegates.

Show thread

One month later, the emperor of Britannia is set to make a public address.

But everyone is shocked that the emperor is not Charles, but Lelouch.

Suzaku is with him. Lelouch has declared him to be Knight Zero, the knight before other knights.

Geass guarantees acknowledgement.

Show thread

They justify abandoning their own children by looking forward to a reunification in the collective unconscious? Unacceptable.

Lelouch uses his geass on God itself. Not as a command, but simply a request.

The thought elevator collapses, and Charles disintegrates.

Show thread

Here in this alternative world is the Collective Unconscious or God. Charles' plan is to remake the world so that individuals no longer exist. We are all just facets of the collective unconscious anyway.

Marianne, C.C., and V.V. were his allies in achieving this.

Show thread

To correct the lighting issues, use an invisible armor stand that is on fire.

Show thread

You can't actually create your own entities, but you can summon an invincible invisible armor stand that is unaffected by gravity and tagged with a custom model, then teleport it incrementally.

Show thread

There are named functions, but the level of modularity is the file system. Each function is in its own file and the name of the file is the name of the function.

Show thread

There is no documentation, but there are YouTube videos demonstrating how to do specific things.

It's a programmer's nightmare.

Show thread

There are no events, but you can get and set the number of times a player has taken an action, so if it's > 0, you know they did it.

There are no loops, but you can schedule a function that runs every game tick.

Show thread

There are no "if" statements, but you can put a filter on a command so it only runs for entities with certain attributes.

There are no variables, but you can add a tag to an entity so you can catch it in a filter later.

Show thread

I'm going to run a Minecraft server with my kids over the summer.

I'm looking into the kinds of tweaks and customizations you can do with Data Packs.

And man, this is some wonky programming.

But before Charles can confront God, he is himself confronted by Lelouch.

Lelouch has placed bombs at the entrance and seals both of them in the Sword.

Whatever Charles is up to, if he can't affect the world, he's as good as dead, even if he is technically immortal.
