A poll: At the end, what characters...

I haven't seen a post like this on the community and I'm curious as to what fans think.

Poll about characters and their mindsets at the end of the series. SPOILERS for the end of the series.

If you have any passionate opinions on this, or want to talk about scenes/moments that indicate one thing or another, please share! If I missed anyone you'd like to talk about, share that too (and I'm sorry for leaving them out).

Everyone who knew Zero was Lelouch has guessed the Zero Requiem and Lelouch's motives. In other words, everyone in your list, except Gino and Anya (but they are most likely figuring it out later on, Anya being with Jeremiah, and Gino finding out about Suzaku) and most probably Rival and Milly (I don't think anyone would care to explain everything to them properly XD)

I can't understand why is it more people believe Milly is more likely to find out the truth than Tamaki @_@ perhaps is he dense, but not to this length T_T

I think makes a lot of sense for the people who knew Lelouch to either have guessed or be secretly told, by those who did guess, about what was likely going on. That's a lot of people, sure, but they're all our principal characters; it makes sense for them to have a hush-hush connection with each other. I see Kallen as the one who tells most people what she's figured out.

The Black Knights who know Lelouch was Zero might realize that Zero is not the Zero of before, but I think in general most of them don't know that it's Suzaku or that Lelouch planned it all like that. Even if they had any suspicions of the sort, Suzaku's unlikely to tell them. They'll just think it's someone else taking up the mask of Zero and maybe wonder but never quite have it confirmed... IMO.

Well, as Karen pointed out, Lelouch can't be in both his pope/emperor bag, and the Zero costume. Thus I believe the "might" in your sentence is somewhat insulting for the BKs XD.
Of course most of them aren't aware that it is Suzaku in Zero's suit, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is that Zero killed Lelouch, and Lelouch is Zero. The fact that Zerozaku took the very own sword of Lelouch is just another proof that Lelouch orchestrated his suicide. Thus there is only one explanation to it all : Lelouch never wanted world domination.
They don't need Suzaku to tell them ; anyway it was very clear they all understood instantly what was going on when we see them all freak out on their execution plateform.
