Sunrise and King Records have revealed that they are working with Sutcliffe to hold a Pop Team Geass online kuji lottery on the latter's Kujicliffe website. The former two companies have previously published crossover design posters between Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and Pop Team Epic on the 2025 April Fools' Day. It turns out that the crossover prank is not just a single-day deal, as people in Japan have a whole month to buy tickets for the lottery.

The merchandise lineup will feature a total of eight character designs. The first two feature Popuko and Pipimi in regular proportions with a Geass eye on each of them. The next two are chibi Popuko and Pipimi, who are wearing Suzaku and Lelouch attires, respectively. The last four will show Lelouch, Suzaku, C.C., and Kallen in Pop Team Epic-style chibi designs.

Here is the full prize lineup from the lottery:

• A Prize: Cushion (2 designs)
• B Prize: Acrylic stand (2 designs)
• C Prize: Mini character acrylic stand (6 designs)
• D Prize: Acrylic keychain (8 designs)
• E Prize: Badge (8 designs)

A ticket for this lottery costs 880 yen (~$5.90). People can also get a bonus random character postcard for every ten tickets purchased. Sutcliffe will offer a flat shipping rate of 770 yen for up to 20 prize items, which also includes 2 bonus postcards.

Sunrise has also ed a new trailer showcasing the crossover on the Code Geass YouTube channel:

Sutcliffe will close the order window for the Pop Team Geass online kuji lottery on May 1, 2025. The company will ship the prizes around mid-August 2025.

Sunrise has revealed that it will gradually publish Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion episodes for free, temporarily, on YouTube. The studio is making this campaign to celebrate the first anniversary of the official Code Geass channel established on the popular video platform.

The announcement also includes a schedule for the episodes' airing times. Sunrise will gradually publish episodes from both seasons of the Lelouch of the Rebellion sub-series every Friday and Sunday at 9 PM JST (8 AM EDT), starting on March 21, 2025. Each episode will also be available for only ten days except for the first episode, which will remain available until the final R2 episode that airs on September 19, 2025, expires on September 28, 2025.

The official teaser video is also available to watch right below. But while it is also viewable outside Japan, it remains to be seen whether the actual episodes that appear from March 21, 2025, will be available worldwide or not. This is because Japanese publishers often limit their anime episode accesses to Japan only, as in the case with Shueisha's Jump Anime Festival.

Anime episodes of the 2006 show Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and the 2008 second season R2 will appear on the franchise's official Youtube channel from March 21 until September 28, 2025.

Mixi has revealed that it will add crossover content from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion to Monster Strike. The mobile game will have numerous collaboration events that run throughout the latter half of March 2025. They will reward characters from the anime series, and most of them will come from the R2 season.

This event will feature more than ten recruitable character units. Five of them—Lelouch, Kallen, Suzaku, Rolo, and Toudou—will be recruitable via gacha banners. Anya, Gino, Jeremiah, Cornelia, Bismarck, and Xingke will be available by clearing their respective quests, and C.C. will only be available by purchasing a starter pack.

Another set of Geass Missions will reward the Black Knights (Zero, Kallen, Ougi, and Kaname) as a single character unit. There will also be a daily stamp campaign that will let players earn another character group unit based on the Ashford Academy students (Lelouch, Suzaku, Kallen, Shirley, Milly, and Rivaul).

Monster Strike has been one of the long-lasting titles that defined the Japanese mobile game scene for over ten years, with the other one being GungHo's Puzzle & Dragons. Both games have been recently known for adding crossover content from a vast number of external franchises, which have since also included the Mobile Suit Gundam series.

The Code Geass crossover event in the Japanese Android and iOS mobile game Monster Strike will launch on March 15, 2025. The closing date for each content in the event will vary between April 1-5, 2025.

An ment video promoting orange juice from the Gottwald & Alstreim Farm in the Code Geass universe appeared on the series' official YouTube channel on the 2024 April Fools' Day. Sunrise revealed on the following day that it will actually produce and sell the branded juice in real life. The studio will also open temporary pop-up stores that sell the juice bottles along with other Code Geass merchandise.

Here is the trailer that Sunrise originally ed on April 1, 2024. The studio later updated the video's title and description on April 2, 2024, to confirm that it will actually sell the orange juice.

Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra announced a series of concerts featuring anime titles owned by the Bandai Namco group, including Code Geass and Gundam. The concerts will take place in Sendai City in 2024 and beyond.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion will be the highlight of the first orchestra concert scheduled to run on May 4, 2024. The second concert on August 10, 2024, will focus on two Gundam titles: The 1985 TV anime Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and the 1988 movie Char's Counterattack. Both concerts will take place at Sendai Bank Hall Izumity 21, which will have its major renovation completed at the end of March 2024.

Code Geass and Gundam will not be the only franchises to get orchestra concerts in Sendai. The philharmonic orchestra group will first perform tracks from Sunrise's 2016 musical comedy anime ClassicaLoid as the "zeroth" concert at Hitachi Systems Hall on March 20, 2024. It will also hold an Aikatsu Orchestra Katsudo concert at Izumity 21 one year later on March 20, 2025.

Sendai, the capital city of Japan's Miyagi prefecture, has been getting more events related to popular Japanese subculture franchises to help promote its tourism. Before these orchestra concerts take place, the city's Umino-Mori Aquarium will host a collaboration event featuring the Hololive English VTuber Gawr Gura in January - February 2024.

The Code Geass and Gundam concerts by the Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra will take place on May 4, 2024, and August 10, 2024, respectively.

Sunrise will hold an event on December 18, 2023 to announce the development of Z of the Recapture, which will be a new entry in the Code Geass franchise. Guests who will be present include Jun Fukuyama, who voices Lelouch, and Yoshimitsu Oohashi, who will be the director. [Thanks, Comic Natalie!]

During the event, Sunrise will reveal the main cast, as well as an exclusive teaser. Since it also happens to be Lelouch’s birthday, there will be special airings of episode 6 of the first season and episode 5 of the second season. For reference, S1E06 was the episode when Arthur, Suzaku’s cat, stole Lelouch’s iconic Zero mask. S2E05 was the one when Ashford Academy threw a giant party to commemorate Suzaku returning. Both episodes are fairly lighthearted, focusing more on shenanigans than the rebellion. There will also be a stream of the event, though it will not be free.

Code Geass: Z of the Recapture is a direct sequel to Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection, which was a movie that came out in 2019. It’s a new story unlike the previous compilation ones, and it takes place about a year after Zero Requiem. There’s a single key visual for it right now and it shows a completely new cast of characters. Despite how popular he remains, it's highly unlikely that Lelouch will make an appearance considering the timeline of Z of the Recapture.

Code Geass is readily available for streaming via services like Crunchyroll. More information on Z of the Recapture will come out on December 18, 2023.

Koei Tecmo and LINE revealed that they will add new crossover content from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion to LINE: Monster Rancher in late November 2023. Key characters from the anime series will appear as breeders of unique monsters inspired by their Knightmare Frames.

Lelouch's Gawain will appear as a Joker sub-breed, while Kallen will have the Guren—in both regular Type-02 form and Flight-Enabled Version—as a Dragon sub-breed. The story synopsis hints that Suzaku will also appear with a monster version of the Lancelot.

A teaser trailer for the Code Geass crossover in LINE: Monster Rancher is available to watch on LINE's YouTube channel:

LINE: Monster Rancher is a monster-breeding mobile game that utilizes data from ed friends in the LINE app to generate monsters. While Koei Tecmo and LINE initially planned to launch the game in Spring 2023, they eventually released it earlier in late Winter on February 28, 2023.

Code Geass will be the first anime IP to have crossover content for LINE: Monster Rancher, but it won't be the first-ever crossover for the latter. In late March 2023, LINE and Koei Tecmo added a collaboration monster modeled after Otosan, the mascot dog of the Japanese company SoftBank.

LINE: Monster Rancher is available immediately on iOS and Android mobile devices in Japan. The Code Geass crossover content will be available in the mobile game from November 30, 2023, to December 28, 2023.
