Here's a discussion point:

Kallen R2 Episode 7 after slapping Lelouch when he asked her to "comfort him:"

"Snap out of it Lelouch! You're Zero right now! You carry the responsibility of showing us a dream! Then... keep your lie up until the very end! This time, perform Zero's act... flawlessly!" - Eclipse sub

In retrospect, those words are chilling. He really did give her everything she wanted... but himself...

I actually feel pretty good about the ending. I only wished that Lelouch and Kallen could have spoken one another one more time though after what happened in 22.

Well if you enjoy rumors:

Flying around on 2ch is that an omitted scene (and gum line) was to be the final confrontation between them but it was omitted for not being ambiguous enough, and Taniguchi being pissy about a leak. People have reasoned that a missing scene between them would better explain the epilogue, and also how she can just so conveniently figure out the entire plan in a fraction of a second when she could never do it before.

wasn't this episode shorter than normal? or was that just me thinking that?

I believe it was four minutes shorter than normal. Not really sure and I can't check at the moment.

That would be interesting, but unfortunately the bold part makes it a lot less likely

I don't usually go for whatever flying-thingie flies around 2ch but the lack of gumline was something..unexpected. So i won't dismiss this theory completely.

2ch is merely a reference, this theory is appearing all over Japanese boards.

WHOa.. if that true.. then they probably did omitted a scene somewhere.. why would they make the last episode that much shorter.. Sigh.. unless they wanted it shorter?

and actually there was talk in 2ch and other boards I believe, that the gum line will probably be removed. .and what do you know? they were right.. who knows though

It seemed that way, but no. It ran about the same time as the others (~24 min) according to my cache of Eclipse subs.

Oh, ok. So I guess it might be possible. But I guess we would have to wait for an official announcement to actually know what happened to that gumline.

A lot of people are thinking this, actually. Especially since broadcasting companies were apperantely running slightly different endings (not sure what that is about though). People are assuming its a marketing ploy to buy more DVD or BluRays.

morbosfist · 2008-09-28, 17:30

Part of me hopes such a thing is true, and another doesn't. I'll be so pissed if they dumped such a scene for leaks or to include it as an extra.

YOu mean there was a scene of Lulu's hair and eyes in one of the endings? OMg..

Of course. It's brilliant from a marketing standpoint. Doesn't matter if it's an OVA, a movie, or alternate endings on DVD or BluRays. People will fork out hard cash to see more, especially since we know a lot of stuff is missing.

Wouldn't there be another interview with Taniguchi possibly having him actually tell us if there is a deleted scene?

Quite sure those were fan-made.

So wait, according to the rumors that line was supposed to be said before or after his death?
