Some follow up questions.

[kimchiburger.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. More discussion posts. But I have several questions that I'd like to see theories/answers for.




1. Did all of the Black Knights finally acknowledge Lelouch's true intentions? Or is it just Kallen? Because the only thing that would make me completely satisfied with the ending is that they recognize what Lelouch did.

2. Suzaku is forever to be Zero, right? However, what happens once he becomes old? Even super-powered plot-haxing characters grow old, too. He'd have to pass down the helmet to someone else, which may or may not involve revealing himself to the potential heir. Unless he's planning on taking the Zero name to his grave, but it's a symbol. I was thinking that the people would like to keep the legend alive.

3. In this scene you can clearly see Lelouch's face. I was wondering if the people at the TV station could have seen Lelouch and Suzaku's exchange on top of the throne. Even if they couldn't lip-read, they probably could have seen Lelouch put his hand on the Zero Mask for a significant amount of time. There's also the possibility of nosy cameramen focusing on Nunnally and Lelouch, but I guess that can be discounted because baaaaaw Diethard.

I was thinking that there may be people who would study and analyze the assassination very closely. This is mostly wishful thinking on my part though.

4. Where would they bury Lelouch's body (assuming that you believe that he is dead)? I know Jeremiah, Suzaku, Kallen, and especially Nunnally would stop the people from tearing his corpse apart. Maybe with the rest of the royal family? Next to Clovis.

5. I hope no one disturbs Rolo's impromptu grave. ;___;

6. It seems like the world would eventually be ruled by children. You know, what with Kaguya, Nunnally, and Tianzi. New world order includes Loli Leaders.

7. Did anyone else think Schneizel looked adorably confused in this shot?

8. brb listening to Continued Story forever.

He'd have to pass down the helmet to someone else, which may or may not involve revealing himself to the potential heir. Unless he's planning on taking the Zero name to his grave, but it's a symbol.

It's possible he might groom someone to be the successor? =\ Zero after all is a legend (within the Black Knights) and a symbol rather than an actual person. It's possible Suzaku would stick around for Nunally's generation though? Then either groom a successor or just let someone else take up the helm, who knows?

the people at the TV station could have seen Lelouch and Suzaku's exchange on top of the throne.

Uh. It'd be one-sided, since they can't really 'see' Suzaku. If they read Lulu's lips, they would have gotten a really one-sided conversation. =X There might be too much shock for them to actually have paid attention though. I mean, you see your tyrant ruler get stabbed by the saviour of humanity, I don't think anyone would actually be trying to read his lips. =\

I was thinking that there may be people who would study and analyze the assassination very closely.

Considering Lelouch is (or was) a tyrant to the people (even though he was acting like one, so that the world's hate would be focussed on him), many people might remember him as just 'The Tyrant' and not bother too much of his assassination. He is, after all, a bad guy that the good guy killed in the name of justice and all that Zero believes in, so I really do doubt they'd do that.

7. Did anyone else think Schneizel looked adorably confused in this shot?

Maybe it's cause he has knowledge that Lelouch = Zero and then a Zero appears before him, which confuses him because he does have the knowledge Lelouch = Zero (Lulu only geassed him to follow Zero, but probably didn't geass him to forget what he knows?)

4. Bury the world's most hated person at Ashford? ...Maybe. :P I can imagine Nunnally and Zerozaku doing that.

8. I've been listening to it over 100 times. The count would have been higher if it weren't for classes. T__T

[kimchiburger.livejournal.com]

Hee, it's good to know I'm not the only one obsessively listening to that song. :D

[kimchiburger.livejournal.com]

OH SHIT, MY COVER'S BLOWN.

The Loli Leaders probably can handle politics a lot better than our current ones the older characters. =/

[thecurtain.livejournal.com]

Code Geass S3: Schneizel of the Massive Epic Revenge--...no wait, we already did that one. Hmmm...

[kaine-maxwell.livejournal.com]

3. Ya know I came up with this idea earlier regarding that. Like if scholars say 100 years on Geass Earth start analyzing the rise and fall of Zero and Lelouch (so to speak), they might figure it out, Anytime before say, 100 years, would be too soon, especially if a theory about it got out it could collapse the new world Lelouch created.

4. Yes, next to Clovis. Though would be interesting to see his grave...especially with a black king piece on the stone.

7. Yeah if I was in tattered clothes and had a huge gold chain around me, I'd be pretty confused also. It was just Lelouch being his FABULOUS self again.

[kimchiburger.livejournal.com]

-Yeah, grooming someone might be the best bet. Unfortunately, I don't think Suzaku has the heart to do that to a kid. The child would hold the burden of Zero's helmet the rest of his life.

-That's true. I was thinking that maybe some of the cameramen had a better shot of it, but that'd be too much effort on their part I guess. I dunno, I'd get insanely curious about what's going on. That just makes me strange I suppose.

-Maybe not right away, but I'd like to think that the theorists out there would love to study this period of time. Lelouch's rule was rather short, wasn't it?

-Well, yes. He's confused about his torn "loyalties" now that this new Zero has appeared. I was more commenting on his expression though. XD;

[kimchiburger.livejournal.com]

3. You know, you're probably right. It is too early for anyone to analyze what the hell's going on. History books will have to be rewritten once they figure things out. And the person who first publishes a theory on that would be ostracized for a while...

4. A chess piece as a grave marker is absolutely fitting. I hope they do that.

[kimchiburger.livejournal.com]

That vision of truth? I think that's just Sunrise's way of showing that Nunnally finally understood Lelouch's intentions. Instead of actually seeing the scenes, I feel that she realizes that he planned his death. But then again I wouldn't be surprised if Sunrise gave her memory-viewing poewrs. *facepalm*

[kaine-maxwell.livejournal.com]

3. 10 or 20 years or even 50 might be a good time to start, 100 or 200 when everyone's living on Jupiter is better. Unless one the former BK or someone writes a "tell-all book to be discovered 100 years after his/her death".

Then again, Ougi would be dumb enough to do that...

[a-songfor-xx.livejournal.com]

Suzaku might not but Zero might have to do it for peace's sake? =\ Not sure how this one would go down.

They'd probably analyze it maybe several months down the road, not immediately. The immediate effect of your tyrant ruler getting killed would probably be to celebrate and go about the business of installing a new benevolent ruler and all lol.

Some historians might believe he wasn't that much of a bad guy lol (I wonder if there are people thinking that of the several real life tyrants...), but nitty-gritty picking and all wouldn't really happen immediately lol. Then again, if you leave such a bad impression on the people, I'm not even sure if anyone would want to try and see if Lulu wasn't the bad guy lol. Considering FLEIA and all.

His rule was a total of about... I think 2 months.

He's confused therefore he has a confused expression? =\ I don't get what you mean, actually.

2. But Suzaku is Suzaku - he's basically friggin' immortal ='O

4. Yeah, I think they would bury him with the rest of the royal family :/

5. Bawww, no one but Lelouch even knows his body's there...

7 YES<3 He's like 'Huh? What's goin' on...?' XD

[spleener.livejournal.com]

1)I'm guessing that everyone who was aware that Lelouch was Zero managed to put two and two together or had it put together for them by someone else who did. And of course if they thought about it enough they'd probably realize that the whole reason why he had to embark on that path was because they kicked him out without giving him a real chance to defend himself, the thought of which I'm sure satisfies the people who always thought that they should burn for turning on him regardless of reasons or circumstances.

2)It's possible that the world will get to the point where they no longer need Zero. Or maybe he'll pass the mask on to someone else.

3)This files clearly under the heading of "realistically, yes, but since it would break the plot somewhat if it were true, no, the public didn't lipread/hear what was going on there."

4)I kind of like the idea of him being buried as Lelouch Lamperouge in a local graveyard (where Shirley was, assuming it wasn't vaporized?), personally. Lelouch vi Britannia was a heartless dick who deserved what he got (and was of course an entirely fake persona,) Lelouch Lamperouge was the person that most of them really cared about.

5)It seemed to be out in the middle of nowhere, so I'm guessing nobody's going to even stumble upon it for a while.

6)I always wanted to see a scene with Nunnaly, Kaguya, and Tianzi together, personally, I think they'd make an interesting trio. But yeah, every major world power that comes into play in the plot(China, Japan, Britannia) has its own loli high up in the power structure. I don't think it's an intended parallel, that's just how it turned out.

7)Related (http://trainwreck.ggkthx.org/2008/09/29/mind-raped-geassed-schneizel/)

8)Definitely my favorite Hitomi song of the show, personally. Not saying much as I never particularly liked any of the other ones.

6. It seems like the world would eventually be ruled by children.

Lulz. Children are our future after all.

[familiarplaces.livejournal.com]

2) I think once Suzaku dies as Zero, that would be the end. By that time I'm sure the world would be peaceful enough to get along on it's own and accept the death. Plus, I don't think Suzaku would be able to pass down the Zero lifestyle to someone else considering it's basically like giving up your life to hide behind a mask forever. I'm betting he would take it to his grave.

[tenshi789.livejournal.com]

1. The people who knew Lelouch was Zero would have probably put the two togehter- Cornelia and a few others also seem like they understood.
Tamaki won't though. He fails too much xD

2. Suzaku will give it to his son/daughter kinda like the whole Syaoran thing in TRC? xD

3. Everyone wanted him dead, so I don't think any investigation or anything would have taken place.

4. I think Nunnally would build a private little memorial site/grave thing in some beautiful garden somewhere.

[airi87.livejournal.com]

2_ Soon People won't need Zero anymore. Suzaku will change his name (Lelouch did the same in the past) and after few yers he will live happily with Nunnaly. They will overcome their pain and take care of each other.

[levy.livejournal.com]

1 - Karen reaction to the appearance of Zero indicates that she has figured out at least Lelouch intent to die, and the fact that Suzaku is now Zero. Tohdoh, too, seems to have somehow recognize his former student behind Zero's mask. So I guess yeah, at least in a way they'll know that the conveniently reappered Zero is Suzaku and that this switch must have been planned by Lelouch himself.
The details of Zero Requiem and Lelouch current condition will be, anyway, unknow to anyone but CC, Suzaku and maybe Jeremiah.

2 - I guess that the new world Lelouch wished for and everyone's trying to built won't need a Zero for such a long time ...

3 - Nah, it was an impression given by the show.. anyone else reaction to Zerozaku's appearence are shown in slow motion, the stabbing has been very very fast...

4 - IDK, but when Jeremiah orders the imperial guard to retreat, they probably quickly move away carrying Lelouch's body with them. And anyway, it's higly uncommon for normal britannian citizen from the 20th century to tear apart a corpse even if Lelouch was so hated. ° °

6 - The three Little Graces of the Brand New World : we'll rule you all with tea, teddy bears and my little ponies. So it seems.

[jjblue1.livejournal.com]

1. Among the others mentionde in the other replies I'd like to list toudo. He surely recognized Suzaku's inhuman athletic abilities.

2. Zero has already died twice officially (during the Black Rebellion and on the Ikaruga after Fleya was used). I think people don't expect Zero to live forever but someone else to pick up the legacy.

3. Lelouch was leaning on Suzaku. Depending on where camera's were this might have kept hidden his lips.

4. I think 'Zero' wouldn't allow such behaviour but I might be wrong. Jeremiah had been forced to retreat however and I'm not sure if Nunnally and a still tied Kallen would manage to stop a mod. My guess is that he'll have two graves, one for the emperor and one for Lelouch where he'll be transferred in secret.

5. Oh, I wouldn't mind if Lelouch would be buried next to Rolo's grave... and i think Rolo wouldn't mind either...

6. LOL

7. Yep, it's not Shneizer's day but I think he managed to do the math and guess what Lelouch did. However understanding doesn't mean it make a difference to him. He was geassed to obey Zero. He recognized Lelouch as Zero so it might be Lelouch/Zero told him to serve Suzaku/Zero or that he simply serve Suzaku because his Geass work on every Zero...

8 Great music...

[reiuji.livejournal.com]

I only bring answer to #7, and that answer be YES YES YES, it's so cute how "huuuh??" he looks.
Awww Geass, your mind-controllin' power is so cute on Schneizel. <3

[magical-poof.livejournal.com]

2. I was wondering what would happen and Suzaku got old, too. Who would be the leader after this whole generation of peace? Wouldn't it all collapse again?

3. I'd been thinking that wouldn't people watching this all be like "what are thehy whispering to each other? why is he smiling?"

4. I was actually thinking about writing a fic about the funeral and the grave, but then I procrastinated and couldn't decide where to bury him

6. OMG, I hadn't thought about the overwhelming amount of lolis. Maybe Anya will take over the orange juice market

[magical-poof.livejournal.com]

I agree, Schneizel looks adorable!!!

But he also looks like some dominatrix's love slave. o_o (Did Cornelia manga to get ahold of him? XDDD)

[shinigami39.livejournal.com]

Where would they bury Lelouch's body? In Zerozaku's chambers. <--LOLWTF In Jupiter. I suppose Suzaku will have to find some place where it can't be disturbed/taken by the tons of Lelouch-haters?

Too many questions left unanswered ;___;

[shinigami39.livejournal.com]

Depressing topic, but, your icon made me LOL <3
