89th Emporer, Lelouch Vi Britannia
This is my theory of what happened to our Emporer, Lelouch Vi Britannia… the 89th Emporer of Britannia!
The Death of Our Beloved Emporer
Lets start from the beginning of the death scene…
We see Zero (aka Suzaku) running at Orange who deliberatly misses this Zero, then upon panning to his face you see that the cyborg is smiling…
This obviously gives off someting here, I mean he missed… if this were a real attempt to take Lelouch’s life he would not have even missed his attack. We’ve seen how he fights off Sayoko and Rolo, and Orange was a Knight of Rounds.
Lelouch is seen smirking before he pulls his gun watching Zero run up at him. The gun is knocked from his hand and he is stabbed in the stomach.
A normal person would have made an attempt to dodge the sword, and even though we have to take in the knowledge that he’s not athletic but really would you allow yourself to be stabbed without trying to flinch away?
As we see the moment between Lelouch and Zero, who is having his helmet caressed blood being smeared upon said helmet. But not before whispering a few words causing Zero to cry. Then Lelouch rolls head first onto the ramp sliding down towards Nunnally who is conviently placed at the bottom.
Now… I don’t know where to start at this part… Suzaku’s tears hint that Lelouch is really dying and we are losing our skninny, and smart Emporer and he is really dying. The fall is where gravity no longer exists… before sliding the rest of the way down Lelouch falls face first landing on his head and rolled to his back. Normally your neck would break under those conditions but so would being stabbed through the spinal cord would do something simular to that as well. If I were faking my death and I would want to make a real impact I hit it where it would hurt the worst… My baby sister who indeed still did care for me, lying infront of her bleeding would probably leave a scar.
During the time this is all happening Cornelia, Guiliford and co. are standing in a building RIGHT NEAR the floats where the prisoners are held. >.> Cornelia had ordered Villetta to wait… suspicious right? I mean coming from the same woman who had a been shot in the back, and her boyfriend blown up in Fleja!
Pretty much a bunch of flashbacks happen in the background, some insist that this is only to bring the ending home others think this is Geass’s effect, much like when Lelouch accidently touched CC recieving memories from her. I do indeed believe that this is thoughts from Lelouch and his code.
I BELIEVE HE HAS CHARLES CODE!
We then get to the cart… oh cart how I don’t understand thee.
Pretty much this scene throws us for a loop, you see only CC riding in a cart with a large bag, cheese-kun, and a pink crane (much like the one she started in season one before Lelouch dragged her away!) Anyways at the end of her talking to herself she looks to the front of the Cart, stating “Right, Lelouch?” and it fades out.
This cartdriver has Lelouch’s bony figure, and his noodly waist. Unfortunantly we will never know because Sunrise pissed off the script writer so no OVA
Responses to a few things…
Suzaku becoming Zero -
It’s fitting since he is a Eleven (Japanese) and Zero’s title was… King of the Elevens… Now Suzaku’s father was the prime minsiter of Japan, also the title Lelouch gave Suzaku as his Knight of Zero might have shown light to his death and return as Zero.
Pulled from Wiki: Lelouch’s death is confirmed by writer Ichiro Okouchi in volume 42 of the Japanese magazine Continue, and the official Code Geass R2 guidebook lists him as dead.
Even though Ichiro has stated that Lelouch is dead, I will never believe it… Even if he was a villan he was the greatest hero to not only Japan but the world making it a better place and should have recieved a Funeral… I will never be happy till I recieve real proof than just Lelouch bleeding out a ‘death’ scene.
What the hell is CC’S name – we were promised a name but never recieved.
This was my take upon Code Geass… I hope you enjoyed another one of my trainwrecks.

A very nice revieuw. I can help you out with some things. Okouchi confirmed that Lelouch Vi Britannia died, he didn’t say anything about Lelouch Lamperouge, right? I read somewhere that C.C.’s real name was Sera, but they sensored it to make us curious and some lip readers(my english sucks a bit) say it’s Shizuku(meaning ‘drop’ in english). I have to disagree with you calling Lelouch a villian. He wanted to change the world for Nunally in
the beginning, meaning to sacrifice his comrades, but he changed to a hero who tried to save EVERYONE. I am curious about one thing though… Does Ohgi, Xing-ze, Todou, Karen etc. knew that Lelouch has sacrificed himself? I think they knew later on, because todou said: Could it be? when Lelouch died and Karen was crying. The others changed their looks when Lelouch got stabbed, like they felt sorry for him(Tianzi and Xing-ze). This is the most epic anime ever and I hope they’ll air a third seazon, I doubt it.. I hope they make ova’s or movies or games.. WHY GOD WHY DID IT HAVE TO END SO FAST!!! P.S. Sorry about my english and the wrong spelling of the character names.
