Preston Ward Condra Watches Code Lyoko

by Preston Ward Condra

I binge watch through the entire series of Code Lyoko. Aside from seeing 1-2 episodes, I'm going in completely blind to this series. It's a show, I would never see anyone say anything good or bad about at all. I'm confused to as to whether or not, it's an anime or a cartoon. Cartoon Network never even aired the finale back in 2007. A smorgasbord of a project. Let's do this.

104. Episode 95: Echoes

Episode 95 - Echoes

The very last episode of the series.

Alright. Here it goes.

Everyone is down in the dumps in the cafeteria.

Sissy: Is the lame-o club, feeling depressed today?

Odd: It always is, when you show up.

Yes, Odd. Tell it like it is.

Herb makes Sissy a GPS function of some sort, and Sissy wants in knowing what exactly they have been up to, this whole time.

Everyone heads to the very bottom of the hideout, to shut down the super computer and in doing so? Lyoko is no more for good.

We are greeted to a flashback sequence of all of the characters with a gold color overlay, playing scenes from various episodes of the show.

Jeremy snaps back to reality.

He doesn't want to shut down the super computer.

Yumi: Did you expect for us, to play superhero until we turn 80? This has to end at some point.

Jeremy: I know that but, without Lyoko - I never would had, you guys as friends.

Sissy skips gym class, runs to the hideout, while everyone else is back at school.

More flashback sequences with Ulrich and Odd.

Ulrich: I like being a hero.

Odd: Same here. I love the adventure.

Sissy eventually finds the hideout and sits at Jeremy's chair and computer.

Sissy reads a video diary, left behind by Jeremy.

She's gobsmacked by the whole video demonstration.

Jeremy's Diary: Xana managed to broadcast problems for each of us, giving us problems away from our schoolwork.

Sissy: What?

Aelita and Jeremy talk, that Aelita's father might still exist somewhere. Key word. Might.

A montage of Aelita kicking butt on Lyoko and the good & bad times, she had with her father are shown.

Aelita and Jeremy continue to talk.

They are interrupted by you know who.

Sissy: I know everything.

Jeremy does it for the last time.

Return To The Past Now.

Back at the hideout, in a 5-0 vote decision (even Aelita agrees) to shut down the super computer for good.

Jeremy shuts it down.

Jim: Oh hey! It's the Fantastic Five!

Odd: Oh, Jim. We just closed the last part to a book of an adventure of a lifetime.

Jim: ...What?

Aelita, Odd, Yumi, Jeremy and Ulrich break the fourth wall, say goodbye to the viewers at home and that's it.

End episode and the conclusion of the series.

Overall Rating - 7.5/10 - A fantastic recap of everything retold in the past 94 episodes in one great episode of the series. I say this was the best episode of the show. Minus a few points as Sissy really should have retained her memories from reading Jeremy's diary. Otherwise, this was a great finale.
