Swords....

Isn't the sword Suzaku uses to kill Lelouch [R2 Ep. 25] the same sword Lelouch held when they were about to fight Damocles [R2 Ep. 23]?
It's an interesting symbolism how the man who defined himself as Lelouch's sword [R2 Ep 23], used the sword Lelouch had to kill him.
Geez, it's too bad we don't really get to see much of what happened after Lelouch's death... I wonder if people in the CG universe noticed it and made up interesting theories over it...
Or maybe they just assumed Zero stole it...
It might be also a reference to Lelouch's two catch phrases:

Whose who are allowed to shoot are only those who are prepared to shoot [Ep. 1]

Only those who are prepared to fire should be fired at [R2 Ep. 25]

which might also be seen as a reference to:
Live by the sword, die by the sword...

Well, it was definitely unexpected... even if the series makes veiled references to the swords.
Lancelot had swords, there's the sword of Akasha, Damocles probably takes it's name from the story about 'Damocles' sword', Toudo and his men used swords to fight with their Knightmares, Xing-Ke also was a swordman...
Even if I think the whole thing was Lelouch's plan to make another spectacular Zero.
Suzaku, on his own, wouldn't manage to make a show like the one Lelouch did when he freed him so Lelouc studied a spectacular script Suzaku could follow... (run through bullets, jump unspeakable heights, stab me, stand there in a stony hero position and get awed at...)
