:( Hai guyz, read what I have to say nao!
I'd always feared Sunrise would take a copout and direct Code Geass R2 through the path of Death Note, where the hero becomes pointedly the anti-hero and his death is happily justified to the viewer due to the hero's eventual ignoble intentions. Lelouch started out with incredible intentions, wishing to create a world of peace and equality. Sure, he's been the cause of a lot of deaths, but they were somehow always for a reasonable cause. However, watching episode 14, I'm starting to fear that Lulu's batshitting is just the beginning of more senseless destruction. In 14, even his subordinates remarked on the parallel between Britannia/Japan and OoBK/Geass Cult with regards to the slaughter.
It worked for Death Note but for Code Geass, having a vilified Lulu die in the end will be utter crap. One of the reasons why I like Code Geass is because Lulu keeps a sensible head on his shoulders. Unfortunately, I just don't see the CG world just stepping around Lulu's massacre with all the dissent from the order and given the flow of the plot, I doubt this will be an isolated "sorry haha!" incident.

Good or evil, what would have happened to those children? If they're anything like Rolo, they're already messed up a bit in the head, and even if they could be completely reformed... they could go crazy like Mao, or accidently make someone go insane like Lulu. Maybe Lulu thinks he's doign the kids a favour too, by killing them. Same reason that he kills the rest of the lab: no moar geass plz.
If Lelouch dies like Raito, it better be the manga ending. I jsut saw the anime ending last week, and omg it was so sappy. Blah. I actually liked the manga ending, it... suited him. XD ...anyways, I see Suzaku killing Lelouch. I mean, Suzaku already blames Lulu for Euphie, an accident, and blames Lulu for Shirley, which he is totally didn't do, and then all the things Lulu DID do... XD
Or Charles kills Lelouch next week THE END.
