My main issue with the original two seasons of Geass was that it had a lot of elements in it from various animes that, while entertaining in some ways, also kind of undermined each other (the whole Ashford Academy high school stuff didn't really need to be there, just for one thing). And it sort of wanted to have its cake and eat it too, with how goofy and ridiculous it was that it eventually becomes hard to take the melodrama all that seriously. It was gripping...when I was 14 years old, but nowadays I'm not sure if season 1 would hold up. I mean, it isn't always impossible to have your cake and eat it too (like Jojo which is hammy and over-the-top but still really compelling after part 4), but I don't think Geass quite manages that. And even when I was 16 I thought R2 was really unsatisfying and underwhelming except for the ending, which some people complained about because of the fates of certain characters who they felt got away scot free, but to me it didn't really matter since I felt they wrapped up Lelouch's story in a satisfying way, unlike everything else about R2. I can only guess that this series will show that Lelouch's gambit only lasted for a little bit, which is realistic and expected, but the question then becomes what Lelouch himself is gonna do. If they just recycle his character from R1 and R2, it isn't worth it to bring the series back. There has to be an interesting place for his character to go to, and honestly with how cleanly his arc was wrapped up with R2 I'm not sure that they can do that. |

Unlikely to be better than the first two? Probably. Won't meet the expectations of most viewers? Highly likely. A "cash grab" scheme? It seems that way. I can care less about any of that. I thought the first two seasons were a masterpiece. I actually finished it in 2 days (19 episodes one day, 31 the other day). I'm most certainly not a fanboy, but I would never dismiss this anime as trash until I actually saw it either. I stay neutral, which for some reason is rare these days. People will either defend every part of an anime, or they will nitpick at every major or minor detail. |

His survival is not pre-planned. He has been 100% confirmed dead and R2 ending has been one single thing the writers intended to happen from the very beginning. His resurrection is here because for whatever reason Sunrise wants to revive a dead cash mule instead of making new one. |

The ending was planned from the very start, that much is true, but your own interpretation of that "the writers" said is both incomplete and open to debate. Trying to shut down any other interpretations is not intellectually honest. There is absolutely nothing written down where someone asks "Is Lelouch dead?" and the answer provided is "yes, I can confirm Lelouch is dead" in simple and straightforward terms. On the other hand, there is at least one question which was literally answered in the opposite direction. But enough talk. You've ignored or downplayed any suggestions or evidence to the contrary and insist on looking at only one set of data. I'll wait for newer interviews and extras released in the context of this new project that might either confirm your argument or, what I think is more likely, shoot it down. |

It is not "up to perspective" when the official sources uses words like "passed way", "died", "his time has ended" etc or has CC outright refer to him as dead in ZR. Trying to shut down any other interpretations is not intellectually honest. There is absolutely nothing written down where someone asks "Is Lelouch dead?" and the answer provided is "yes, I can confirm Lelouch is dead" in simple and straightforward terms. On the other hand, there is at least one question which was literally answered in the opposite direction. The "Lelouch survival" hoax is easily on the level of the "Dragon Ball AF" Hoax in how fast it spread memetically and how much misinformation there is. I dealt with shitloads of it during the show run as one of creators of CG's biggest club on MAL and it was insanity defined - circular arguments of the same memetic theories, the same photoshopped video, etc, till it devolves into conspiracy theories, name calling, harassment and overall vitriol. Shutting it down before it gets out of hand into pointless repeated arguments that have lasted for TEN YEARS is the most logical thing to do. But enough talk. You've ignored or downplayed any suggestions or evidence to the contrary and insist on looking at only one set of data. I'll wait for newer interviews and extras released in the context of this new project that might either confirm your argument or, what I think is more likely, shoot it down. I am looking at the official information available. Which is unquestionably pointing into a single direction. And I did say that any sort of change in what IS now depends on the future - namely whether Sunrise will pull a Sunrise and retcon something in upcoming recap movies or what they will do in the show. However the argumentation can only use the facts that ARE, not the facts that "could be". And right now what I linked are the only 100% confirmed facts. |

Like I said, Fai, if you're not going to listen to reason then nothing will change your mind. Eternal Dreamer, someone who had translated a lot of Code Geass interviews and materials some years ago on another website, has just confirmed that the last Code Geass R2 light novel, released way back in early 2009, did indeed strongly hint that the cart driver was Lelouch. Eternal Dreamer used to defend the argument that Lelouch was dead, just like you are doing and even I did in some circles, but had never looked at the light novels until this new project was announced. That's not something which didn't exist. It's an official publication. No Dragon Ball AF hoax. It's been confirmed by someone who is trustworthy and has literally changed their mind in light of the evidence. |

And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus |

Sighs...this is dumb... I loved this show...and this is dumb But if we really need to.open up the horrible shipping wars again my God I'll o it lol. This will be fun. In all seriousness though very disappointing ending wrapped up perfectly with his death and story arc. I kinda hope this is just a Big hoax like him driving the mule cart in that edited video put on YouTube all the C.C fans thought was real... |

The "happy ever after utopia"-ending is simply not something that should be used after ending the conflict with "a common enemy arose, the common enemy died. The end." Calling it "disappointing" doesn't even describe it. I understand what the idea of "Zero Requiem" was about, but it should be evident that this was at best a short-term solution. The anime tried to hard to deny this problem at the very end. The only thing I really hope here is that they don't continue to double down on that point by somehow making Lelouch's "resurrection" be the main reason for the central conflict of the new series. As long as they avoid that, I am glad that they can correct this big mistake now. I just hope that they DO correct that. |

As long as they avoid that, I am glad that they can correct this big mistake now. I just hope that they DO correct that. Lelouche's main goal from episode 1. Was to make "gentler world" for his sister, and of course to take revenge on his father. Both have been completed, not a perfect world but he did reach his goals. Lelouche understood he couldn't change man kinds nature that's why he set up so many safe guards after his death. The world isn't perfect that's why he made the black knights the world's sole army, made a unifying government to control most, but not all hostile countries, and the left a master strategist his brother in charge as a back up plan. I really don't understand why people hated the ending, yes the second season was a bit ridiculous in areas, but the ending was extremely solid. He didn't get a happy ending, which is more realistic then any other alternative. The reason it doesn't need a third season is they need to completely introduce a whole new plot just to keep it going. There are no new enemies, no unresolved conflicts everything has been wrapped up. The is obviously a cash grab, and cash grabs are almost never pulled off well. |

Lelouch has the power of the King. Even though Lelouch's ambitions were mainly for his sister, he was also a proud and usually egoistical person. He enjoyed his power and people like this don't like to die. However i don't think that he told anything to Suzaku. That he might got the code of V.V. (after making Charles disappear.) C.C also needed longer time to heal depending on the wound she got. So I think he just disappeared, living in peace after doing his part. However, this feeling of not doing anything will get boring to him. He needs an hobby. If they connect this sequel with the Boukoku no Akito movies, this could be interesting (which would be amazing in my opinion). But enough of theories, Season 3 is pretty much confirmed now and we get to see 3 recap movies with new material (rewatched for 5th time the whole CG Story, so I'm prepared for this year :D) |

Best anime news in years. When I finished second season I was so depressed and later I searched all kinds of forums for weeks trying to prove my theories and even rewatched anime 3 times. If somebody told me 5 years ago I was right I wouldn't live all this years in doubt and hope. Super excited for new season. Akito was garbage. I hope it can live up to high expetations. |

Lelouch did not die. The only reason Lelouch needed to die was so the general populace would believe he was dead. Why would Lelouch, a character who has spent a whole two seasons manipulating others to get what he wants, fail to do that in the climax? Why would a master manipulator actually die, when they can just trick others into thinking they are dead. In the given scenario, Lelouch's death would go against character and make no sense. |
