Lelouch's death to me was heart-breaking more on a personal side than a character side. I do believe Lelouch heard his sister say she loved him. The reason he died where he did was so he'd be with her when he died, so she'd know the truth. He heard her. He had atoned for Euphie's death. He had given Suzaku what he wanted in his redemption. He had set up the world for real change by the people. He knew both his friend and his sister, his most important people in the world, loved him and that they would be safe. And that they would still have each other. He knew the people he cared about would know the truth and understand. He knew too that they would understand why he paralleled his death with Euphemia's. He never expected to see his better world; he was setting up Nunnally to stay with Suzaku from the start because of this. It was one of his greatest wishes, and he realized it, along with Nunnally getting her sight back and the world being a better place for her. Yes, the world will hate him but not those that matter to him. Lelouch never cared about what people thought of him unless they were his people.
In the end, he was happy and he was loved and had love. He wasn't alone.
For that reason, I give the most tragic death to Euphie.
I don't know, his reply doesn't seem directed to Nunnally... he's not even looking at her. However i think he wanted to be with her as he died
Well... actually Euphy didn't remember what she did, Suzaku told her she did good and was with her, so she kind of died in peace (even if I have the feeling she had suspicions). I wouldn't know who had the most tragic death, if Euphy who died in such a way you can't help but feeling sorry for her (mind controlled to do something horrible by incident, killed by the brother she loved without understanding why and after she'd been trying her best to help everyone) or Lelouch who lived and fought up to that point to create a world with the knowledge he would have to die and never see it.
My preference goes to Lelouch merely because I think the show just handled it in a more emotional way. Nunnally isn't just crying, she's screaming. There's something heartbreaking in this and there's not one of Zero's long speechs to distract you from the tragedy going on. Nunnally's desperation is... Lelouch smiles before being hit, wait for the blow patiently, and when he's hit and roll down like a broken puppet, think back at all his life then saw the sun, there's such a lovely weather that day!, then dies smiling, despite the fact he's dying and the pain it had been being stabbed.
Euphy's death is sad but they did it in such a way that Zero's speech covered it. Because plot wise the most important scene was how the people rise against Britannia, hate covering up Euphemia's attempt to help everyone (it's touching how she's worried about the people in Japan when they're yelling against her). Euphemia had to become just another death on the way of rebellion which is tragic in its own way. So I think the scene has less impact. But this might be just me.
Personally I hate Euphy died and, even if somehow I felt her presence at the end (each time they show the candles) I would have liked if the boys were to meet her in the World of C.
