If he truly believed his lie (The defender of justice thing), then he needed to keep up the farce to the bitter end. Wishy said: caboose_ftw said: Izzy2008 said: But he did also sacrifice himself too. so...after massacring so many innocent people, it's okay and heroic if i were to sacrifice my life? for the greater cause? try telling that to the victim's families. What "innocent people" did he kill? I think the idea was that he not only started a war that killed many, but he used many people only for his cause, allowing many to die who just wanted peace. Not to mention all the elevens who gathered for the euphemia massacre Oh I'm not saying that he wanted to do all of that, thats just what he did. the argument was "what innocent people did he kill" and that is waht he ended up doing a lot of the time. he did a good job keeping it up till the end, no doubt. Well wut im tryin to say is he did make mistakes and innocent people did die but he ultimately he paid for it wit his life and his name. he will go down in history as the most hated human being. and he sacrificed everything he had to fix his mistakes. he can no longer be wit the ones he loved or be free as who he was( if he is alive ) and ultimately those loved ones got their justice wit his public execution. obviously, for greater victory there will be sacrifices and honestly he has made sum huge sacrifices he was definitely hurt emotionally for each decision and im not saying his sacrifice was equal weight to those that were innocent but the future exists becuz of his actions and becuz of this more innocent people will ultimately be at peace. so the big picture is where everything fits into perfectly for the sake of peace. You guys don't get it. Lelouch longed for the future so no matter how many innocent people die as long as the world has a future it will be fine. People die, people live but without a future there won't be a cycle. Sacrifices must be made to preserve the human race. |

People die, people live but without a future there won't be a cycle. Sacrifices must be made to preserve the human race. Of course that is an opinion in itself, therin lies the controversy of the series. I've always found myself liking the "no one is truly right" kind of series, cause every person will choose someone else that they will root for in this struggle of morals. And yes, I see taht's what Lelouch thought as he was doing this, but under my beliefs that is wrong. Which again, is what is so great about this series. It does have its faults, but the series is enjoyable, and thats what really matters. |

| 10/10! At last another 10/10 in my list. Lelouch really acted like Jesus Christ. I kinda expected something like this but it still surprised me. This series progressed very well. Epic and magestic. |

| I have something that's been one my mind... Was Jeremiah also in on Lelouch and Suzaku's plan when came in to assassinate Lelouch? His face and expression said otherwise. "Go masked knight" (with a devilish grin) etc. I guess was he wanted him dead as well. |

The only other person that was in on it was C.C. and it showed that Nunnally and Kallen later figured out Lelouch's plan. But I as well noticed that too. Thought it was a bit weird. |

| That's the first time an Anime made me wanna cry. T^T.... Lulu... that was so sad, but everyone else got to be happy. T~T Lulu.... *choke*... *sniffle*... *mental breakdown* ;_; 10/10 from me. |

     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Awesome way to end it, series continued to surprise me. Deserves the score I gave it, if not better. 9/10 |
| I loved the ending! It was well thought out and very emotional! I didn't have any trouble grasping the series as some people did. But that just might be because I'm literate and not 5 years old. 10/10 from me. |
 |
| 10 on 10 for sure that was unexpected it was like OMG though it sucked he end up dying |
 |
| I liked it....it was expected but still made me a bit depressed. Actually I was already spoilt by the ending but the way they played it out was done so well I couldn't stop my tears, not to mention Nunnully's cries....wow that was too emotional for me to bear.... Of course like many here, I'd love to believe that was Lelouch at the end as the unknown driver but of course, I won't expect them to give any proper explanation, the ending is left as good as it would be. I didn't waste my time, it was indeed an excellent series 9/10 |
 |
| No further comment needed, I expresed my opinion in the previous ones and it's pretty much the same. So generally 10/10 |
 |
| Actually wanted to give it a 9 but the ending made me give it a 10. I'm amazed. |
| I thought I will give this show a 9 at first too, but episodes 22-25 (especially the ending of course) were just pure awesomeness, so I gave it a 10 eventually. |
AoiuOct 18, 2008 5:42 PM
| This is one of the best endings I ever seen. |
| i just finished watching the whole thing, and what a turn from the first season, the writers got carried away with twist after twist, some of which were very annoying but i have this death note feeling that the main character was TOO powerfull so they had to kill which is what was eventually coming... but i'm dissappointed that they didn't ever explain the relationship between loyd adn raqshata, i wanted to know why he was called the earl of pudding, because of that it only gets a 9/10 |
First Sig built from scratch 2nd overall^^^ |
ImperialX said: 0_0 ....Wow..... thanks for clearing that up. I really thought he would be dead. Well, at least it would have made the end more intense from my point of view. ;) I started with Code Geass due to the immense hype which was created around it. And until episode 22 of R2, I would have given the second season "only" a score of 8/10. For me the story seemed to be a bit lost due to all the mecha fights and political intrigues. And most of all: Way too many characters for my taste! Dont get me wrong, I like shows which have various (and more mature) protagonists. But maybe it would have been better if the story would have concentrated on half of them a bit more, than trying to put in more and more. Ok, I guess because of this every fan can find a guy/girl which he/she can identify with [Ohgi *thumbs up*] or want to hug all night long [C.C. with lost memories FTW!]. ^^ Oh yeah. Nearly forgot. The score was a rock solid 8/10 until the 22nd episode. BUT IT CHANGED! The last 3 episodes were so intense and the conclusion so stunnigly ingenious that I had to raise it to 9/10. Nunnaly crying over her brothers death while the crowd was shouting and cheering was nearly too much for me. Last time I felt this depressed was at the end of Cowboy Bebop (and the 10th episode of Shigofumi). ;) Thanks C.C., Lelouch, Suzaku, Kallen, Ohgi, Viletta, Nunnaly, Orange-Kun, Horo, Lawrence or whoever more was in this amazing show. It was great entertainment *taking a bow*. :] See you in Season 2 of "Spice and Wolf"..... :P PS: I really enjoyed the story around Oghi & Viletta. But somehow I missed how they survived the fall from the cliff. Did I fall asleep or did they forget to show us how they made it? |

| wow i finally finished this series. sad that it's over. but seriously, very well done. sooo good. ekk! |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Noooooohohohohohohoooo! Noooo! No No No No No! Its over! No! Nooooooooooooooooooooo! *catching breath* This show was amasing, much to my taste. But the end was tragic. It had no ending feel for me since so many things was left open. If they had killed C.C. , I doubt there would be so many supporters of Lelouch alive theory. Sunrise intentionally leaving all this small things for us, for us to wonder if Lelouch is dead or not. Think of it, only by giving cart driver a face, that would change so much. But yet, they hide his face for some reason. (This isnt the only detail, but I guess it is the most memorable detail.) Why would they do such thing? Because they want to play mind games with us? This whole show was about playing mind games, so not at all surprising. |
| I shall know no fear as I am fear incarnated |
| all I can say, an awesome anime, among the best following great animes like death note and FMA, the story, the plotting, the visual, I only regret the e scenes, but that aside, i give both Code Geass seasons a 9, about the last episode of R2, something makes me wonder, can Lelouch be still alive??? well, on another hand, ending that way, was the best, am of course refering to his death, about how people's life carried, on, well, haha, harvesting orange, what the hell! |
| ImperialX said: Mmmm...Then how about Suzaku?He said"I accept this Geass".Assuming that Lelouch is immortal,he could transfer his geass to Suzaku before "Zerozaku" stabbed him.Also,Lelouch said that Suzaku will be a symbol forever.I wonder if he really talked metaphorically. When Lelouch geassed a girl to make signs on the school's walls,the effect passed after a while.Then why Suzaku still can survive after an attack like Kallen's? |

| really loved this series and it was a nice ending and of course lulu in not dead but of course there is not gonna be a third season with that ending it is over |
 |
| Very great Anime, I enjoyed the end. Hope there won't be a third season, because all Clamp want to show has been showed. This is the end. |
| Clamp only made the character designs.. GET IT ALREADY |
 |
| So beautiful... LOVE CODE GEASS |
 |
| Although I got lost a few moments, I do enjoy the way it ended. Makes me think about previous villains in history, and what motivations they had doing what they did. History is written by the winners after all.... |
 |
| Finally got around to finishing this show and i thought it was really good. I thought the ending was done nicely and tied pretty much everything up. |

I agree... I hope the creators don't get too carried away with the popularity of Code Geass and attempt something crazy... Overall I was happy with the ending of R2 - if it stays this way, that is. But I think the way they 'achieved' or 'reached' this ending was a bit forced. The tactics Lelouch used against Schneizel were very hard to believe in. And Sayoko is just somehow there because they seem to have a need for someone who can pretend to be Lelouch with 100% accuracy...that mask of hers is really something out of this world and brought the show down. That was plain crazy. I think R2 would've lived up to the first season if they didn't try to introduce so many characters here and spread them all paper-thin in terms of screentime. |
 |
| I'm very glad I'm not the only one that thought this. danks said: I was happy with the way they ended it as long as they don't continue with the story or more specifically Lelouch's story. An OVA that did not involve him returning to normal life or life as Zero would be acceptable though. |

| one word for this ending - EPIC this is not only the best ending possible for code geass this is the BEST ending i've ever seen on any anime i was so freaking surprised |
 |
| When CC said "Right, Lelouch?" at the end I thought, even though I knew that not being the case, "Yes, just for the lulz he is alive, he didn't die from getting a sword ran through him and is living on somewhere, just because that would be so typically him." Well, the ending was epic, even though the rest of the season was rather chaotic. I rather liked the way the ending was both sad and happy. |
| I just finished Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (with alot of tears). Lelouch was my favorite character ('nuff said). The ending was, yes, very epic. To me, it was undesirable for Lelouch to die, but it is satisfying in a way. I'm glad Lelouch did what he did and had such a hardcore way to leave the world, with only a few people knowing his real intention. I am really sad for Nunnally, but she is helping the world, too! Suzaku had to kill. again. |
     |
| 1) Shirley nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 2) Ali Project rocks 3) Seig heil Britannia! |
| That was too much for me. No, that was not a much in fact... poor Nanali. Ok, just 5/5 without emotions. |
| Dumbest season of anime I have ever seen in my life. A masterclass in how not to write. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| I dont get how you guys dont see the irony in the end. Its plain obvious that Lelouch is alive, if you could possibly sit through the entire ending and say hes dead then you really must be something else... It was like OMFG he got stabbed and he "died". At this point i was pretty sad too, then came the Kallen epilouge and then, Bam... "geass is the power of kings it will isolate you, but i guess thats a little wrong, eh lelouch?" That was when you shouldve said wtf? or expected an answer...and rewatched it over again just to make sure what happened happened. Well thats what i did, and im absolutely 1x10^23423423423 sure that hes alive... If you actually watched the anime, you wouldve known that masks are just like lies, charles wanted to destroy this, but lelouch knew that people wore masks to protect something important to them, to do so they would lie and a mask would be created. So with that being said, wasnt Lelouch Vi Brittania just a "mask"? A lie created to protect the world? To allow it to advance? Ntm Charles died...and the only way of an immortal to die is to...duh duh duh...pass on the code or...have it taken from them. Evidence is all around, yeah the creator can say hes dead all he wants to cuz in reality he is dead, Lelouch vi Brittania no longer exist, it was erased just as lelouch planned. A mask destroyed, so lelouch no longer has any ties to anyone and can no longer return to normal life, he is alone isolated in the hell known as eternal life. This is most likely the reason CC was crying, Lelouch now having lost everything would live as she did. She pretty much felt pity for him for he would be as her. She had been alone for hundreds of years having everyone who loved her and hate her disappear in the endless forever time. However, in her character song points this out to, she is no longer alone and neither is lelouch. Shes happy at the end, and says lelouch's name in a kind loving voice, just as she wished him to do to her in the first season. Put 1 and 1 together and what do you get 2....so she is no longer alone... I could go on forever...any questions ask me, post it on my profile or join my club! http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=6836 Yes i am hoping to write a super long Analysis of lelouch being alive but i have yet to have enough time to. |

| Interesting that there are so many mixed feelings about how this season or the ending to this season was either good or bad. Personally, I thought the series and especially the ending, spectacular. The plot twists, political influences, crazy military moves... all of it kept me on the edge of my seat. I thought the ending was very fitting. Lelouch, even though he starts off with good intentions starts to walk down the path of blood until he's so deep that he can't turn back. We start to question his methods and whether or not he is just becoming another dictator following his father's footsteps only to be shocked in the end to find out his true intentions. To have to destroy worlds before you can create worlds. He played the most sacrificial piece of all. He had to take on the burden, sins, hate and malice for the entire world so that it look forward to the future. And to think... even in the end, he manages to pull one last plot twist shocking us all... eh Lelouch? Spectacular |

To have to destroy worlds before you can create worlds. He played the most sacrificial piece of all. He had to take on the burden, sins, hate and malice for the entire world so that it look forward to the future. I never questioned his deeds. I knew all along this was his "master-plan", without the aid of spoilers or other stuff like that. And even if I was wrong, I would still would had supported his character. Lelouch's now my 2# favorite hero of all time. I didn't cry through Air, Kanon, nor Clannad(got close though), but this really made me teary eyed! Lelouch's death is the most honorable death I'd seen in any anime so far. You sorta knew it was coming, and that it would end up something like this, yet you feel very surprised to see it. The second I heard them talking of "Zero Requiem" several episodes ago, I just knew it would be this! Too bad the world will never know... maybe the core members of the Black Knights and Cecile & Lloyd, inlcluding C.C. and Jeremiah, are the only ones that knew of Lelouch-suzaku's master-plan. Even though I was agaisn't Lelouch dying, I loved this ending. Just for the amazingly-epic plot, I rate this at a 10. By the way, my opinion of all the characters in the series changed alot again. Lelouch has always been the sole exception... PS: So umm... seeing as C.C. lived in the end, I can see the strong possibility of a new Geass anime series... probably set in the far(?) future, after the events of this episode. Take Gundam for example, there's lots of Gundam anime. |
