melty au lait

I need to check whether this was in the original, but we see Orenji crying over little Lulu and Nunally being sent to Japan

Shirley’s part is cut so drastically, they skipped any story with her father being killed so I wonder if they will even include her death in the next part?

Mao’s part is totally skipped

A lot of the school hijinks were cut

Skyscraper terrorist hostage scene was cut

Euphie/Nina stuff was cut

Allen’s shower scene with the phonetical from Lelouch was cut

Villetta’s boobies made the cut tho lol

Theres an added scene where Lelouch is fabulously playing darts while he and C.C. chat at the black Knight’s base, I’m trying to remember what the conversation was about but obviously I was too distracted lol

The Black Knights find out early on Lelouch isn’t Japanese, but promises to prove himself by showing them a miracle  (destroying Cornelia’s troops at Narita)

Lelouch discovers lancelot’s pilot is Suzaku at the Battle of Narita when Lancelot’s cockpit is damaged and goes into shock

Lelouch eventually orders the black knights to retreat as they’ve already destroyed Cornelia’s troops (and Lulu won’t attack Suzaku)

Zero is cornered by lancelot and C.C. moves between them to protect Lelouch, she touches the Lancelot causing Suzaku to see his past where he killed his father, Lelouch going to stop C.C. touches her shoulder and then sees C.C’s past where she has the code mark under her breast

Suzaku is going crazy with his memories and Lelouch orders the Black Knights to retreat

 The movie finishes with Lelouch in his bedroom with C.C. facing the fact that although he wanted Suzaku to be the one to protect Nunally, Suzaku is not on his side and he will have to deal with him - as a tear streams down his face :(

All in all a lot of stuff was cut, which I was expecting so I’m not disappointed, but damn if you were a Shirley fan… But I guess we’ll find out in February whether Shirley’s death will be included in the next part.

I do feel it was very streamlined to emphasise the Lelouch/Suzaku storyline, giving the pilot reveal ending more of a punch! The pamphlet for the movie also has a double spread just comparing Suzaku and Lelouch’s parts lol
