OK, since we've all been wondering... (and some of us hoping....)


Personally, I think Lelouch is dead. I believe his sacrifice means so much more that way and all that, but the more I think about it, the more I think that it's impossible for him to be alive. There's quite a bit of speculation in the end as to whether or not Lelouch gained Charles' Code and immortality and survived. If that were true, wouldn't he have lost his Geass?

I was under the impression that those who obtained a Code lost the Geass in exchange. It happened to CC, and after gaining VV's code, Charles didn't use his Geass again. Obviously, Lelouch uses his multiple times and it still works. Also, those with a Code are immune to Geass, aren't they? Lelouch could never affect CC, and his attempt to kill Charles didn't work. But Lulu was definitely still affected by Rolo's. I don't think it's possible that he could have a Code.

I agree, Lelouch is dead.

However, the reasons you listed could be disproved. First off, there's been a lot of speculation that in Lelouch's last encounter with his father (after Rolo's dead) he was able to obtain Charles's Code and also keep his own Geass (because it was CC that gave him the Geass, not Charles), hence the title of Code Geass.

However, I don't think he has it because there appeared to be a necessary ritual in order to pass on the Code. If just touching skin was enough after the Geass is in both eyes, CC would have given hers to Mao ages ago.

Also, I will list the two fail-safe Sunrise Death Symptoms (in this show at least): Shadows under the eyes and an epic last scene. Lelouch got both of those.

Also-also, CC and Suzaku and Lelouch all gave the impression that he was dying in that last scene. Lelouch DID promise to make CC smile in... was it episode 24? Anyway. He did promise that, but personally I thought that just meant that when it was all over she could get Suzaku to kill her/take her Code, which is why Suzaku would live forever, etc etc etc I'm getting offtopic.

Last, but not least, Nunally was lying across his chest crying. She was holding his hand when he died. I think she'd have noticed if he was actually not dead. And what could have happened to his body? They probably burned it or dismembered it or something. There's no way that he could have just walked away to happiness with CC after everyone disappeared... I suppose he could drag himself from the grave/reassemble after being burned to ashes, if he was really immortal, but again --- Nunally would have noticed if he was still alive.

So yeah. *done*

Lelouch is dead. D: There are too many little clues to suggest that he lives, and one huge event to prove that he's dead.

Also, I will list the two fail-safe Sunrise Death Symptoms (in this show at least): Shadows under the eyes and an epic last scene. Lelouch got both of those.

THANK YOU. And the comment about Nunnally holding his hand. Remember how she acted like a lie detector with Miss Romeyer? She obviously could not have missed the fact that he had no pulse.

=3= I love reading other people's proof that Lulu is dead, since they make more sense than my incoherent rambling. I've been trying to convince someone that Lelouch is dead, but he's being stupid to believe that he lives. -__- He just wants more episodes, but can't be bothered watching any picture dramas or listening to sound episodes.
