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.

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?)

-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;

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.
