Whether that's the case or that Kora just had bad aim, we'll find out if we get another Rebel Moon movie. She also had the power to give life, which could reveal how she survived if she was able to use it on herself. In the first movie, we were told that Princess Issa was prophesised to bring about the end of all wars. The rebels now have a new mission: to find Princess Issa and to continue fighting back against the Motherworld. Snyder expanded on the revelation to USA Today: 'She definitely got shot. Titus told Kora that she wasn't that easy to kill, and no other explanation is given. He always knew about what happened to Princess Issa and he has a revelation for Kora – Princess Issa isn't really dead.

She was about to confess to Titus, in fact, when he stopped her in her tracks. Kora hadn't told the other rebels about this dark chapter in her life before the big battle. She managed to escape, but that's why she's called the Scargiver by Noble. She did as she was told, shooting Princess Issa in the heart, only for Balisarius to then frame Kora for the slaughter of the royal family. He killed the King and got his soldiers to kill the Queen, although he forced Kora to kill Princess Issa. Kora was there as the personal guardian to Princess Issa, but it was all a trap arranged by Kora's adopted father Balisarius. It came during a dedication ceremony on a new ship, intended to be the final dreadnought that would usher in a new era of peace for the realm. They also give their thanks to the rebels for coming together to save the village, but Kora doesn't believe she deserves it because of what she did to Princess Issa.Įarlier in the movie, Kora told Gunnar the story of how the royal family were killed. The final scene of Rebel Moon 2 sees the villagers of Veldt pay tribute to those they've lost, which includes the likes of Den who fell in a brave attempt to kill Noble early in the battle. Netflix Rebel Moon 2 ending explained: What happened to Princess Issa? She's on this journey of catharsis as well, obviously, and Gunnar's sacrifice is part of that journey.' He's not necessarily a soldier or a leader, and it's a stepping stone for her. 'Gunnar is a good guy, but he's just a guy. This lover was outside of the conflict, and he was just a guy, really,' Snyder explained of Gunnar's death. 'As far as love goes and loving and the why of loving, Gunnar is probably the first lover she'd had that was transcendent of war. However, the moment of victory is bittersweet for Kora as Gunnar passes away in her arms. At the same time, Devra Bloodaxe and her army arrive on Veldt to destroy what remains of the Motherworld's forces in revenge for her brother's death in the first movie.

Kora safely gets them off the King's Gaze before it crash-lands on Veldt using one of the drop ships. They manage to kill him, making sure this time by chopping off his head, but it's at a cost as Gunnar is fatally shot. The intention is to get Noble to blow it up himself by setting charges on its world-destroying weapon, and he duly obliges when he orders Cassius to blow up Veldt.Īs the King's Gaze explodes around them, Kora and Gunnar face off with Noble in a final battle. While most of the rebels are fighting on Veldt, Kora and Gunnar sneak on board Noble's ship, the King's Gaze, using Kora's old drop ship from her Imperium days. She does a pretty sterling job of it too, saving them all, but at the cost of her own life when she's fatally stabbed by an Imperium soldier. Once the battle starts on Veldt, Nemesis is tasked with protecting the women and children in the longhouse. Before we get to the Princess Issa revelation, Rebel Moon 2 doesn't end well for everybody as there are major casualties along the way.
