Anime Theory: Lelouch's TRUE PLAN! (Code Geass Theory)

[@RavenShugo]

I was talking about this from the end of season 2. Btw Lelouch did not became an immortal just to see the peace he created. He did it for C.C. He kept all his promises at the end. He died for his sins, created world peace and gave C.C. the true wish she wanted (to be together and be truly loved by someone) She was crying not cause of Lelouch's "death", but knowing, that for her he will suffer the same fate as she did.

[@avrothlightray7152]

It is quite amusing how in parallel to his own plans, he tried to make even C.C's wish a reality and he succeeded in doing so.

[@NickSlade3000]

'Death' of lelouch with context of that promise to c2... Man this really is going to be a tearjerker when i re-watch the last episode of s2.

[@su_madre7076]

Well guess who's back from the dead

[@cebispicis]

He died for world peace and he resurrected in order to preserve it.

[@ygarcia2194]

Wow

[@razorfang9784]

One thing to add to this is that Nunnally was able to see visions of what Lelouch was up to after she touched him just like how C.C. was able to do.

[@duoreview7492]

Just another piece of evidence! =D

[@The_VanDal]

razor fang and there's also jeremiah odd reaction when zero/suzaku rushes on lelouch. He smiles and doesn't seem affected at all ... like he knows he's gonna survive. It's possible since jeremiah is probably lelouch's closest ally along with cc (who's obviously aware of the plan) at this point.

[@slsamgclk]

Good point, that does favor the ''he has code'' theory since I can't see Jeremiah being ok with him dying

[@The_VanDal]

slsamgclk yep !

[@385ers3]

razor fang yeah and maybe she tells everyone and then the plan fails and they bust/arrest him in a foking el chapo jail on secondary floor xd

[@shohinighosh3102]

Another piece of evidence: While Lelouch "dies" next to Nunnally, she touches him and then screen shows the flashback of Lelouch's final plan with Suzaku. Then Nunnally says in the Japanese version, "It can't be. Brother you were all along" meaning that she saw the flashback. Who else shows you flashbacks when you touch her? C2! Code user. If C2 to does it, Code Users can too. So Lelouch is a Code User.

[@cookiediangelo8511]

That's actually...genious

[@ZoiusGM]

Shohini Ghosh Maybe because the geass of Lelouch had been used on her.

[@EM-st9ji]

Nunnally cried because she understands his true intentions and not because he died

[@goshoroshkov1769]

@@EM-st9ji have u watched it she literally said "all I needed to be happy was you " or " I love you brother . Open your eyes" ????

[@Elly3981]

Nunnally must have some kind of supernatural ability too. Even though she doesn't have a geass, she can still somehow tell when people are lying to her when she touches them. That's why you see Suzaku withdraw his hand when she tries to touch him because he knows she can tell. And Nunnally made her assistant redo some kind of plan and saw through her lie about the Japanese not being disadvantaged by it.

[@arseniacline]

[@Cristian08Serban]

I'd like to point out something you missed that also strongly supports this theory. Season 1 is called "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion", so you would assume season 2 would be called "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion 2" or something like that. But they choose to go with "R2". Clearly, that "R" doesn't come from "Rebellion", as "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Rebellion2" is nonsense. So why "R2"? In the anime, the 2 Code owners that we see are called CC and VV, read as C2 and V2 (we're not counting Charles as he had the Code for too little time), so we can assume CC and VV come from the initial letter of their names.. From what I know, what is written as L in english is read as R in Japanese. We can also hear Lelouch's name read with some kind of R, not L, so that would make R the initial letter of Lelouch's name. Taking these into account, it would make sense that season 2 is called "R2", as Lelouch gets the Code, becoming RR, or R2 as it is read.

[@dickheadnactusnsnsns573]

Rerouch Ramperouge? Rerouch VI Brittania cool name....

[@azariyelvarro6271]

lelouch is a much better written character. light was smart,sure. But he was also a two dimensional homicidal maniac with delusions of grandeur. Lelouch actually had emotions, he had relationships with people other than "pawn to be used". And unlike light actually managed to win (potential R3 developments notwithstanding).

[@naveshjea]

eleganos just because you don't like Light doesn't mean he wasn't a well written character

I don't think he planned it. I think he didn't know he had the code and legimately planned to die for good. I have a feeling he woke up thinking "what the fuck?"

[@wunwwins]

Light isn’t even that smart, lelouch took over the world with a worse ability for world domination

[@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr]

Yeah this theory’s been around for a while. Personally, I always thought Lelouch died and came back via immortality (you have to die to activate it once getting a code) and lived the rest of his life in the countryside with C2 as R2. I’m sorry, I just can’t believe Lelouch would pass up immortality or that C2 would be fine with this plan. I don’t believe she’d be happy at the e d like she was. Lelouch was totally the driver of the carriage. In this way, Lelouch still dies physically and figuratively. His identity as a Lelouch is dead, but he can still be immortal with C2 si neither one is too lonely. I also think immortality is worse than death. I think Lelouch deserves it, but i also think he deserves to have company. He wasn’t as bad as Light after all. My opinion. I also think Light deserves to be bored for eternity. Though I haven’t finished DN so I’ll hold off on that judgment. I’m happy about S3, but I’m also nervous like others. I liked the ambiguous ending. I loved that we could argue for years about this topic and how the show was able to live on through this as well. I also just like how the fan theory explains the show’s title of Code Geass.

[@duoreview7492]

Yep. I know the theory isn't new, but it's pretty cool so I wanted to talk about it. =D

[@blueantic5719]

[@lunarwolf9180]

Info monger too bad I don't talk to them anymore

[@gyny2358]

I'm a bit late, but there are two things that confirm this. One: When Lelouch dies and falls into Nunnaly's hands, Nunnaly get's a vision of Lelouch's memories, much like Lelouch got V2's memories when he touched her at a certain point and in no other point in the whole series, so a quick 1+1=2 thinking should tell you that Lelouche is now code, and thus immortal. Two: The original ending of the R2 showed Lelouch's face instead of the origami bird after V2 finished her talking, all tho that was later cut to make it more vague that is he alive or not, but it clearly was originally planned that Lelouch should have survived.

[@jessicaberry5596]

I was struggling to accept the continuation of Code Geass from the ending, especially with Lelouch at the very least an idealistic person. So him cheating death always struck me as against his character, but with this, I can now make peace with my previous conception, and this new continuation. Thank you.

[@SuperNova4313]

That is why the series is called CODE GEASS, because in the end Lelouch obtains both a CODE and GEASS.

[@Elly3981]

Well, if you believe the theory that he got his Code accidentally from his father without knowing it and became immortal like CC after he died, then Lelouch didn't actually intend to cheat death and his desire to die for world peace was sincere. Even in the movie timeline, CC revived Lelouch and brought him back without his knowledge or consent so he was also sincere in sacrificing himself in that timeline as well.

[@duoreview7492]

I'm guessing I'm not the first to make this theory, but I can't for the life of me find the FIRST source. So whoever that is: good job. (Note: I did come up with most of this on my own. I just know others have talked about it.)

Will a mastermind like Lelouch will let his plan rely on luck and chances? The Zero Requiem in the surface is almost so idealistic and naively hopeful of the good of people, hoping they'll all work together happily after the demon Emperor died. This sounds so Suzaku not Lelouch at all. So it makes sense that Lelouch will have a backup plan. To be alive when someone's making trouble, hell Nunnally has the potential to be in danger for being the Emperor of the hated Brittania, and younger sister of the demon.

[@disruptivegarage]

may i also add the following, during the series it seems c2 can see what lelouch sees. in the last ep of r2 c2 is lying on some hay and says the following: "the power of kings known as geass brings one solitude. not quite accurate, is it. right lelouch." the key lies in what she says. she says IS it instead of WAS it. this would imply hes still alive and with c2 if she can actually see lelouch's vision would be able to confirm he's alive and thus use IS instead of WAS. also another theory why we see lelouch with his geass active in the trailer of r3 might be that he simply used the code for its immortality and after his "death" scene he simply gave his code to someone else(like c2) so that he would be able to use his geass again

[@rosaevee274]

4:19 I think the point was that a part of Lelouch subconsciously wanted her to attack the Japanese, as he knew it would benefit the Black Knights if she did

[@Obesno0]

This theory isn't all that new. He just gains his Code from his father because he was the one responsible for his death, but this is simply speculation. Lelouch simply got the Code by accident if he did and restructured his plans around it, turning himself into a martyr for peace. Still think a third season is unneeded though

[@duoreview7492]

Not new doesn't mean not worth covering. The Fate of Light theory was certainly not new, but people seemed to like it. XD

[@tbush6657]

Obesno0 Thats what I thought too. His original plan was to execute the tyrant (his father) publically, and if he can't, his back up plan was to turn into a tyrant himself, and have himself executed. This didn't work out because he got code. Suzaku wants him to pay for his sins with his life, so he has Suzaku "kill" him, and he lives in exile forever where he fulfills his contract with C.C. Although I do think Suzaku and Jeremiah knew he would survive and thought exile would be the next best thing to death. I also dont think this was entirely planned, throughout the series, Lelouch's plans have giant hiccups and repercussions that force him to change or afapt them, like shirley and her dad dying, or "kill all Japanese" or in this case, not dying. I think he truly did plan to end it all by atoning for his sins with death, but was forced to settle for exile.

[@tbush6657]

yuik kiuy That actuallydoesn't sound that bad for a spin-off, but it's probably gonna be something more like Lelouch is called back into action to thwart a new rebellion/Coup D'Etat against his sister. Lets not forget that prince Schnitzel still oneys literally anything wearing a Zero mask, as well as Lelouch himself, so I can imagine him changing sides every other episode.

Javier Gonzalez I understood Suzaku "accepting" the Geass referred to Lelouch using it as an analogy for his wish. Therefore, accepting Lelouch's wish.

My thought from the ending of the series where C2 is talking to him is that he exists in C's World and can communicate with C2 just like how his mother did and even somehow had the ability to pass his conscience into another person that person either being Suzaku (or Nunnally but I Prefer Suzaku) making him and Suzaku share a body. Lelouch stays in C's World and talks to C2 and Suzaku but takes control when brains is needed over brawn.

[@xhugod]

Lelouch and C.C are accomplices, they have a contract and Lelouch values C.C. If his plan of reaching zero requiem included dying, that would be a betrayal to his contract. He would never die before killing C.C, it would be unfair to her. His plan obviously considered the immortality he got in the end. Also, he faked a lot of thinks, Lelouch would never miss the oportunity of faking his own death, specially if it were for C.C.

[@reyniknamyrion3557]

Kind of, except for a number of key differences, namely:- - motivations (Light's compulsive need for perfection and superiority complex which morphs into a god complex versus Lelouch's obsession with keeping Nunnally safe and getting revenge on Britannia for its evils), - capacity for love and empathy (Lelouch loves Nunnally, no question, and displays love or at least deep affection for C.C., Kallen, Suzaku and the Student Council etc. while Light loves... who, exactly? Just Light?), - character development (Lelouch zigzags back and forth but eventually settles on Magnificent Bastard Byronic Hero while Light jumps into Villain Protagonist and does a little dance) - and track record (Lelouch plans his own death, faces it upfront and dies with a smile in the arms of the person he loved the most - assuming he didn't know he had Charles' Code since it was an unprecedented situation, indirectly killing a Code bearer through the Collective Unconscious of all mankind - and above all else actually wins while Light dies whimpering, alone and abandoned, having never made a difference with his life; everything goes right back to normal right after he dies). ...just read this over and jeez, am I biased, but hey - s'all true.

[@jaileenbelman-acevedo8080]

Omfg,... i love you so much for even making this video!! GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@duoreview7492]

Glad you enjoyed it! =D

[@CC-so7zh]

This explanation was pretty good. But the Resurrection of Lelouch movie is not R3 but a sequel to the 3 recap movies, Kudou, Handou, Oudou that were released in 2016,2017, 2018. The rebooted story takes place in a parallel Universe where Jeremiah warns Shirley not to look too much into zero's true identity. So she doesn't get killed by doing anything dangerous unlike the original series. In the resurrection movie Shirley was the one who took his body to Jeremiah who left the place as soon as he was killed. But in the original series Shirley was killed. And remember what Lelouch said? "The only ones who should kill are the ones prepared to die themselves." Maybe he really did die in the original series and never came back. But this explanation could also be true because Lelouch didn't care about the path he took to reach his goal. Him being immortal doesn't really stand in the way of achieving world peace. Maybe the video's explanation could be true if we're talking about the alternate version of Code Geass

[@IsilionNELE]

The anime itself makes it impossible for Lelouch to have a code because that would have broken the established rules. The show staff officially confirmed he's really dead and never had a code.

[@Stratuji]

Really great theory! I'm actually now in major belief that THIS will be, at least in some way, will be the reason Lelouch is in R3.

[@zexionthefirst6767]

I'm paused at 1:26 seconds. I don't know where you're going with this, but all I want to say is watch the original japanese ending. I mean, the last scene in the English release hinted at it, but the Japanese ending flat out says it.

[@duoreview7492]

Please watch the video.

[@zexionthefirst6767]

DuoReview I did. I was just pauseing to make the comment. But I did finish it, at it lead me to watch two of your Death Note videos. ^^

[@jennypack217]

They disproved this theory but I still like it.

[@Sam-oe4dt]

Jenny Pack it’s not a theory lmao the original ending shows lelouch alive

[@XsharshX]

This was a well done video. True, I've heard this theory before but the clothes hiding the code mark was new for me. Good catch! Also, if you rewatch the video, when his eyes activate the disintegration starts, Charles grabs him and light flashes around Lelouch's neck area (pretty specifically), Lelouch says "Begone" and they IMMEDIATELY burn. It drastically speeds their disintegration from gradual to immediate, right after playing the "activate" sound of his Geass command and pans to his eyes. This shows that Lelouch KILLED his father. If a man is terminal and dying of a disease, but you come by and shoot him...you still are the person who killed him. Even assuming that the initial disintegration wasn't Lelouch's audible command, the second was most definitely.

[@AltarinTV]

You forgot, that even C.C had to die in order to code to awaken. Its kind of important. And also C.C had her mark on her forehead, as well as the Nun before her. We also know V.V didnt have mark on his forehead, and his hands are never shown. So that leaves only Charles which we know had his mark on his hand. And now the interesting part. Ever since that moment charles died, Lelouch's hands are never shown. Respectively he ALWAYS had gloves. So i think his mark would mor eprobably be on his hands. But that is also just a specilation. But yeah, you had pretty much same thoughts as me, too bad its not what creators used, and had gone with some alternate bullshit reality. That screams to me that they didnt even try.

[@blahthebiste7924]

Partially confirmed when we see the mark on his hands in Lelouch of the Resurrection

Knowing Lelouch, he could've really planned it all out with CC. 😍❤ Being immortal and all.. Great video!

[@imperlast2]

why didn't you use the scene of c2 on the cart where she talks to Lelouch

[@duoreview7492]

I did at the direct end. It seemed pointless though since it's confirmed he's alive.

[@imperlast2]

true and ok sorry i missed it

[@emythx]

2019 here, and you spot on with this theory... I know you weren't the original creator, but damn you even got the neck thing correct

[@IsilionNELE]

If you watch the movie you'll see the theory is completelyw rong. He has a mark, but it's not a code mark, he gets another, new power. He doesn't even get a code in the movie and thinks he can drop dead any moment.

[@karaan2642]

8:28 Thats why its called code geass

[@AnDom]

Lol. You guessed the neck code thing. Good job!

[@Raja123-b8q]

I don't think Lelouch didn't tell Susaku about his Code because at the point when Susaku became Lelouch's knight, I would presume that Lelouch trusts Susaku completely. Also, I'm pretty sure that Lelouch gave Susaku Geass because when Susaku kills Lelouch while wearing the Zero costume, he said to Lelouch "This Geass, I do solemnly accept." Another Theory I think that Lelouch did get his Code from C2 because when Charles was about to kill C2, with C2's consent (I think), Lelouch convinced C2 to not die and that Charles was bad and then later on C2 changed the contract so that C2 wants to live with Lelouch and gives Lelouch Code while still having it. Like if anyone agrees with my theories.

[@ame-chan579]

The case with Suzaku refers to when Lelouch said "that geass are like human feelings and desires" (not the exact words) so when Suzaku said "I accept this geass" he's referring to Lelouch's last will for him to become Zero and protect the peace that cost them so much to achieve.

[@pilotmanpaul]

I can’t remember anything about that Anime. But I remember watching it every time a new Episode would come out.

[@mck0027]

There is another reason to believe this theory may be the case. When Lelouch died, he said Schneizel would continue to follow Zero. But he wouldn’t be able to do that if Lelouch was dead. The show revealed that if a geass user dies, those under its effects are released from them. Schneizel would have a will of his own if Lelouch died and would not be compelled to follow Zero.

[@RexyyKzK]

The show never mentioned that people under the effects of geass get released from its power after the user dies. pretty sure...

[@1ruisu]

The Grimm Reaper Lelouch's geass caused a permanent change to someone's brain. It was only ever reversed by a geass breaker that only Jeremiah possesses. Also, lelouch told Schneizel to obey zero precisely because Lelouch would be dead. Suzaku is now zero, anyone can be and Schneizel would obey anyone claiming to be Zero.

[@reaperzwei845]

"The show revealed that if a geass user dies, those under its effects are released from them." When did the show ever show this?

[@Wolfshifter]

This is pretty much the theory I've held since the show originally aired. I was kind of hoping for a third season one day, since they hinted the story wasn't over in post-interviews, but I'm really happy someone else came to the same conclusions. This is still one of my #2 favorite story after Berserk.

[@Misaki-wk2xe]

What are the odds that people are still watching the same anime as me and came to youtube when they finished it in quarantine (I just finished code geass)

[@Tetrax]

Ofcourse mate I just finished rewatching it for the third time how I'm just sad

[@TRUENOIR6]

This is not surprising at all. I mean who really didn't see this back when code geass first ended.

[@PsycoticGameAholics]

There's a big flaw in your theory. Having a Geass manifest in both eyes isn't the same as a Geass becoming perfect. Lelouch and Mao's Geass are "Runaway Geass" meaning they lost the ability to control them. C2 even makes a point of saying that Lelouch's Geass will just get more uncontrollable, to the point where his contact lenses wouldn't stop it. Charles has the Geass in both eyes, but we can see he can turn it off and on at will.

[@BineroBE]

Xannytoes Lelouch can also still control it by simply not commanding anyone to do anything.

[@PsycoticGameAholics]

Jeroen Bollen But it's always present in his eyes. Charles can turn it off and on.

[@IXIBankaiIXI]

It's never stated that in order to take a code, it has to be a perfect Geass. To be fair, the only person we ever saw have something like that was Charles. It was only ever stated that once a Geass users Geass becomes powerful enough, they can kill a code user. It was never elaborated on the exact specifications, but one thing we can be sure of is that it requires both eyes. In that moment, you can argue that Lelouch was powerful enough to sway the collective conscious of the world... he swayed God to his will. His Geass through his will and power rejected the Thought Elevator and the will of two powerful beings, one of which was a code bearer in Charles. There's no guarantee that he intended to take his father's code, but if only for that brief moment of sheer power through will and resolve, he overpowered him and killed him. Seems like more than enough for a code to be transferred. Oh, also. It was implied that C2 couldn't control her's either when the Nun forcibly transfered her Code to C2. She blamed her Geass for all of the gifts and excess love she had to endure, saying she's tired of it all, and complaining about people calling her master and revolving a religion around her. Her eyes both remain active in that scene as if she couldn't deactivate them until she gains the Code.

[@morganvoldemort675]

Xannytoes destroyed.

[@TheRibbonRed]

What about Charles being a Code who can still somehow use his Geass on Lelouch for S2 to happen? Does that mean Charles got his Geass from someone else other than V.V. too?

[@okira_e]

You are right in everything you said and with the new release of the new movie earlier today I figured I must congratulate you ma dude your theory is 100% accurate

[@PabloHernandez-gl5ij]

For reals holy crap😱

[@laurentbergeronmusic]

[@amielariado2414]

[@optiona3667]

Have you watched the Japanese ending!! >_< It would support ur argument

[@duoreview7492]

Yes I have, but I'm not 100% sure if it was real. The ending I saw while watching was different. XD

[@zexionthefirst6767]

That's because of regions. When it comes to the NA release, they don't just dub it. They can edit it. So, even if you watch it with the Japanese audio, the actual video footage is still edited. Take a show like Card Captors. The NA release was edited to remove most romance from it, and scenes were rearranged to make Syaoran seem like a main character. If you're watching Card Captors in NA, you are physically seeing edited footage. The version of Code Geass released in Japan is the original. It fully supports what I'm going to assume your theory is. (I'm still paused at 1:26)

[@goku_jerome1732]

Tv ending to be exact

[@zexionthefirst6767]

Goku_Jerome one thing to keep in mind, Code Geass is one of those rare situations that the anime existed before anything else. The manga is an adaptation of the anime, and unless the Creators state otherwise, the anime supersedes the manga as canon.

[@goku_jerome1732]

Tyler Willis I meant DVD rerelease because I heard that it was changed from the tv broadcast

[@mdmahidehasan3022]

So you figured it out, man you are good.

[@lelouchvibritannia3599]

Thanks to the movie we now know all of this was completely wrong. Lelouch never got a code or immortality. No surprise because the anime creators have officially confirmed that many many times. read all what they said here: www.reddit.com/user/GeassedbyLelouch/comments/8hklfr/evaluating_code_theory_main_body_index/ Lelouch was truly dead. He only came back because C.C. resurrected his dead body.

[@jae3276]

Did you even watch the movie……

[@RealPendragon]

I heard exactly this theory YEARS ago... Pretty good Video tho because many people still don't know about it. I even had a talk with a friend about it earlier today xD Its also funny how my reaction was when R3 was announced was: "OMG the theory is true!"

[@rahotty]

At the end of the Lelouch of the Resurrection, you see the mark on his neck like this video mentioned.

[@IsilionNELE]

Not true, it's on his chest and not on his neck. On the collar bones to be precise. And the movie made it abundantly clear that this mark is a new power and NOT a code. Movie-C.C. even explicitly denies that it's a code! And let's not forget that the 4 movies are a non-canon alternate universe (e.g. Shirley is still alive, etc), while this video is about the anime. In the anime Lelouch is dead forever, that has been officially confirmed

[@Shira98009]

Ah finally someone that figured it out as well :D I'm excited for the new season because then it will finally become common knowledge in the Code Geass Community

[@shirishchinchanikar8199]

but lelouch doesnt have an opponent like L or near

[@Naheleniel]

I so agree with you and I'm happy to finally read a comment in this sense. :) A real mastermind opponent to Lelouch is what has been missing in CG. Some opponents were cool and stuff but no one measured up to him in the end. Lelouch had it "easy" even. Someone with a genius mind and drastic opposing views on life trying to stop him. Just imagine the juicy mastermind duel we would have had! Such a waste of potential and a missed opportunity sadly... ;(

[@IceMcFried]

i didn't think this was NEW news cause i thought everyone figured it out when they watched it... it's really not that hard to figure out, i'm surprised that anime theory covered it. still a fun video to watch, lol

[@AsiaGled]

No Lelouch want to die But C2 still want him to finish the contract Spoilers: I already watched the new movie By the way his name now is L2 or LL

[@IsilionNELE]

And to clarify, the movie pamphlet which was handed out in Japanese theaters explained that the name L.L. was Lelouch making a marriage proposal, it was NOT a code name. Even in the movie, Lelouch never got a code. The movie is very clear about that. The mark on his chest has completely different properties than codes, so it is not a code. It doesn't make you immortal. It doesn't make you immune to geass

[@SnowSNS11]

the movie are different from the anime

[@youngnan121]

this theory existed already

[@UltimateSpinDash]

When Lelouch lost control of his Geass at the end of the first season, I expected the reasons behind that, and overcoming this weakness, to be a major plot point in season 2. Unfortunately, all they did was say "here's a contact lens". The thing is, there must be a way to either avoid a runaway Geass, or to regain control of it afterwards, as Charles had a perfect Geass that he could still control, but covered both eyes regardless and was thus strong enough to kill V.V. As a personal little theory, I believe the reason V.V. called Rolo a failed experiment was because the nature of Rolo's Geass would prevent it from increasing in strength or going runaway - if the latter ever happened, it would simply kill Rolo.

[@ovoro]

The title says it too which is has to be planned from the beginning: What Lelouch has is the "Code Geass," bearing both powers.

[@despeckt]

Well coming back after 2 years of this video release, no there is no sequel to R2, the recaps are more a alternative universe for a feel lke a quick cashgrab lol

[@ethrsag735]

Lelouch actually was written as being still alive during the credit epilogue, in the original Japanese ending the lower half of his face with some of his signature bangs peeking out from below that wide brimmed hat shown on the cart driver, so its actually canon that he survived, the dubbed version didn’t have that scene

[@vladazivic9740]

[@theodorewinston7625]

You know how Lelouch's maid was able to disguise herself as him? I thought that C2 used this same disguise technique and she was the one stabbed in that scene. We know she can to an extent control how long she remains dead before reviving, and that code users can share memories through touch, like when Nunally touched what she thought was Lelouch. (Though that could potentially apply to your theory as well) Also, Lelouch didn't kill Charles; he was essentially deleted from existence by the collective unconscious of humanity after Lelouch pleaded with it. I don't think that making Lelouch immortal would be good for the plot of R3, which is the main reason why I'm rather suspicious of this theory

[@orekusic3584]

Theodore Winston Perhaps something far greater than the collective conciousness has made the code, so the collective conciousness couldn't erase it. Going by that, the code had to be transfered to somebody, that somebody being Lelouch

[@ryanedgerton1982]

Interesting concept. I was pretty much in the know right up until you got to how he's (apparently) still able to use Geass in R3. The idea that he can attain immortality while keeping Geass has some curious implications, the foremost of which being that the source of Lelouch's Geass is his contract with C2 -- that, essentially, the deal is still in effect. I'd always imagined it as a strictly linear progression of power whereby attainment of the code (and subsequent death) culminates the Geass and triggers immortality... but if you're right, then Lelouch may be the first person in history to cheat the system. More than that, though... it explains the title. 'Code Geass' is a reference to Lelouch himself -- not just a code bearer, not just a Geass user, he IS "Code Geass". In a word... bravo!

[@TheRichmaster24]

I'd say that the most OP power is Charles' Geass; that's just BS

[@gorkamorka41m84]

That is a HERESY! But I guess I'm talking here about a whole concept of bringing Lelouch back. And the theory itself seems quite possible.

[@Bumii.]

Leloucuh vs. Light. Who's smarter?

[@gate1130]

+King Bumi, How Light could find and kill Lelouch:Zero makes childish moves and is only going after certain people that are all part of the same family and Light notices this and thinks Zero is a student, the only flaw is that Zero is gone during school hours. Still Light decides to investigate by tracking down the first moment Zero made his appearance. When looking he finds that the Japanese started winning their battles after an unknown person joined their team. Light thinks this unknown person and Zero are one in the same and decides to investigate near by schools and the people missing from those schools on the days were Zero went to battle. They find over 30 different schools and over 100 students missing from school during the LAST battle, but only 2 students from a certaint school were missing on EVERY day there was a battle, Lelouch and Suzaku. Light tracks their locations down and investigates both of them and finds out Suzaku is on the opposite side of Zero, so it can't be Suzaku which leaves Lelouch as the only suspect. Light investigates Lelouch even more and well following him he sees Lelouch turn into Zero. After finding out the identity of Zero being Lelouch he writes his name in the death note, but it doesn't work because Lelouch's last name is an alias. Light figures this out and shows Misa who has the Shinigami eyes a picture of Lelouch. Misa sees Lelouch's real name and tells Light. Light writes down Lelouch's real name and Light wins

[@gate1130]

+King Bumi sorry I thought you were actually asking who is smarter between the two characters, so I gave this scenario to show what I think would happen if they faced each other in a battle of wits.

[@duoreview7492]

I'm going to say Light. That's just me.

[@christianmeyer197]

The very last scene of season 2 left it wide open to interrupt that he lived anyway. Since it shows a face that looks quite similar to his and c.c. is talking to this person. I've heard that ending was cut out at some point but it still existed for those who saw it.

watching the last episode might potentially prove 2 things -suzaku gained a geass power through lelouch's code -nunnally knew everything through a memory surge when she got in contact after lelouch fell down the the royal slide of death, much like how c2 made suzaku remember a lot of things in their first encounter in combat, proving lelouch got the code

[@fallenscythe]

My god..... you might have cracked the biggest mystery in all of anime.

[@Lets_go_already]

Couldn't agree more with this assessment. If you all watched to the very end of the very last episode, you see that Leouch and C2 are relaxing in a horse and carriage as the show closes out. But getting the code from his father is where all this makes sense. Absolutely love this show!

[@IsilionNELE]

Jonathan Blue And yet another victim of that fake youtube video. Lelouch was not the cart driver, that was a fan made video to fool people. The show staff have officially confirmed that Lelouch was truly dead. No code or immortality. The anime males it even impossible for Lelouch to have a code because the established rules forbid that. The fandom proved years ago that this whole "code theory" is a fraud built on lies and misrepresenting the anime

The show staff have always been adamant on Lelouch being totally dead. That's a well documented FACT. The anime itself makes it impossible for Lelouch to have a code, so the sword through his chest is death. That's a FACT. If you sincerely believe your dvd shows Lelouch, I suggest watching it again. You'll see he's not there. If you pretend he is there, then take your phone and film yourself going through the dvd menu to go to the epilogue and show us that that scene exist. Spoilers: it doesn't
