Some follow up questions.

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.

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.

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