Suzaku, disguised as Zero, interrupts and kills Lelouch, the culmination of the Zero Requiem as they had planned. By directing all the hatred of the world onto him, Lelouch's death will serve to facilitate peace, while simultaneously redeeming both Lelouch's and Suzaku's sins by having them impose the greatest punishments on themselves: death for Lelouch who wishes for a tomorrow with his sister, life for Suzaku who wishes to atone for his sins through death.
Nunnally can only watch in shock. When Lelouch falls near her, she takes his hand and realizes that he had sacrificed himself on purpose, for her dream and world peace. Lelouch dies smiling in the arms of a crying Nunnally, saying he has both destroyed the world and created it anew. Suzaku is left playing the role of Zero. The aftermath is narrated by Kallen, who ends up forgiving Lelouch as she has realized Lelouch's true intentions were noble and explains how the world is much better off with all the energy being focused on reconstruction.
During the final scene of the series, C. Due to his good looks and charm, Lelouch is quite popular with girls. However, he does not care much for this, due to his focus on caring for Nunnally and changing the world. While he was never able to express how he really felt about them, it is shown that he did care deeply for each of them. Suzaku Kururugi is the first and last true friend Lelouch had ever had. Lelouch trusts and has faith in him more than anyone else excluding Nunnally in the world.
He is even willing to go down on his knees to beg him to protect Nunnally because Suzaku is the only person he could trust and find help in, despite the fact that they were already enemies at that time.
Lelouch was also hurt deeply when Suzaku decided to turn him into the emperor and when he thought Suzaku had betrayed him again in the Kururugi Shrine. They had many face offs and Lelouch often could not bring himself to hurt Suzaku after finding out that Suzaku is the pilot of Lancelot and tried time and again to get Suzaku to join his side.
Suzaku is also the only person aside from Nunnally whom Lelouch is unwilling to use Geass upon--even when he did, he did not order Suzaku to obey him or join his side, but to "live on. As Suzaku once said, "There is nothing we cannot accomplish together. The ascension to the throne and the plan to take over the world to complete Zero Requiem was the best proof of how strong they could be when working together.
Lelouch eventually entrusts Suzaku with everything, including the final step of the Zero Requiem, the peace of the world afterwards, and Nunnally. Suzaku has very mixed feeling for Lelouch. He also sees Lelouch as his best friend but he disagrees with Lelouch's methods. He had suspected Lelouch was Zero before their confrontation but chose to trust his friend, thus he was more disappointed than surprised when he finally discovered the truth of Zero's identity. He also could not forgive Lelouch for killing Euphemia and smearing her name as a mass murderer.
He is also furious that Lelouch views people as pawns and how Lelouch had forced him to "live on" when his secret desire is to die and the Geass often forced him to do things he has no desire to. But after the confrontation at the Kururugi shrine, the explosion of F. That results are what matters, and from then on, like Lelouch, he is willing to achieve the desired results regardless of the means.
Thus Suzaku chooses to fight side by side with Lelouch as a faithful knight to complete the Zero Requiem they devised together. His silent tears when executing Lelouch show that despite all that has happened, he still cares deeply for Lelouch and even after all the damage, their friendship was never truly destroyed. As the new Zero, he now protects Nunnally in his stead. Suzaku still cares for his first, true, and best friend.
His younger sister Nunnally was the reason Lelouch began his quest to overthrow the Britannian Empire, and for most of the series creating a world she can live peacefully in is his driving motivation.
Lelouch loves his sister over all others even Euphemia and her safety and comfort were always his number one priority to the point of him abandoning his allies to save her when she was captured. He once lost his intention to live after thinking Nunnally was dead.
Despite his love for her or perhaps because of it Lelouch was willing to do whatever it took to bring peace to the world, even to the point of using his Geass on her and having her hate him in order to bring the Zero requiem to fruition. The Zero Requiem was actually planned by Lelouch the enemy of the world to have him killed by Suzaku disguised as Zero to end the cycle of hatred and to bring peace to the world.
Part of the reason Lelouch sacrificed himself was for the dream of Nunnally to make the world peaceful ending all the focuses on war and altering it to reconstruction and negotiation. Rolo was Lelouch's Foster Brother and one of Nunnally's replacement siblings after his memories were altered by Charles. He was not replaced after dying due to Charles being destroyed afterward.
Clara was Lelouch's Foster Sister and one of Nunnally's replacement siblings after his memories were altered by Charles. After she was killed by Orpheus Zevon , she was replaced with Rolo. Lelouch and his younger half-sister, Euphemia, were extremely close when they were young, with innuendo stating that Lelouch had a crush on her, and she may have felt the same.
When they met up in the present day, it showed that he still cared for her deeply but whether or not he still had the same romantic feelings is unknown. She even persuade him to stop his rebellion and comply with her Special Administrative Zone of Japan after he has vehemently refused it and was determinated to wreck it.
However, when he accidentally uses his Geass on her, forcing her to kill the Japanese he had no choice but to kill Euphemia in order to end the massacre. As Lelouch shot her, he states that she was his first love.
It was one of the greatest burdens and sins on his soul and something that he was never able to forgive himself for. Later, in tribute to Euphemia's memory, Lelouch asked Rolo to depose a gray candle labeled with her name in the memorial candle of those who died in the Special Administrative Zone massacre.
Like Euphemia, Marrybell has a good relationship with Lelouch and Nunnally since youth. Ever since Lelouch declared himself as the new Emperor of Britannia, Marrybell joins him, being the only member of the Imperial Family to not be subjugated under Geass. Like Lelouch, Marrybell has quite in common with him: their tragic past, exile from the family, formation of their organizations for different purposes, a quest to atone for their sins that will satisfy their desires due to everything that was for nothing and similar Geass abilities, with Marrybell's being the darker of the two.
Both died in a similar fashion, at the hands of their best friends and at about the same time. Shirley and Lelouch had been school mates and good friends in Ashford Academy. Shirley stated that she once disliked Lelouch at first, but one time she saw a car accident where an elderly couple was being scrutinized by the man who was clearly at fault. Without anyone realizing, Lelouch took a tow car's hook and put it on the man's car, dragging it away and saving the couple.
The fact that Lelouch did it without boasting and emotion sparked Shirley's curiosity to discovering Lelouch's real self. She affectionately calls him "Lulu", with which everyone else caught up and made fun of him. As they became friends, she developed a huge crush on Lelouch, though she disapproved of his gambling habits. She tried to act as a moral centre for the seemingly amoral Lelouch.
As she was too shy to confess, she would often become jealous when Lelouch seemed to show interest in other women, particularly Kallen, with whom Lelouch has had a number of misinterpreted encounters. Shirley's crush for Lelouch is explained when she confronts Kallen in what she misunderstands as a romance between the two. Kallen and Lelouch often dismissed Shirley's suspicions as false, but she didn't believe them. Their relationship became complicated during the Battle of Narita, in which Lelouch's battle tactics killed her father Joseph Fenette , a Britannian army scientist.
A distraught Shirley sought comfort in Lelouch's arms, not realising he was the one who killed her father. A guilt-ridden Lelouch, horrified with his actions, comforted her and they kissed. However, a Britannian knight Villetta Nu , suggested to her that Lelouch might be involved with the Black knights. A horrified Shirley follows Lelouch during the Battle of Port Yokosuka where she attempts to kill Zero, until he was unmasked as Lelouch.
That the man she loved killed her father devastated Shirley, but she still chose to save him by shooting Villetta. Plagued by insecurities, Shirley was manipulated by Mao, a mind reading Geass user, to try and kill Lelouch. In pain of her losses, Shirley almost killed him, but her shot caused Lelouch to drop her photos which he had taken and reminded her of her love for him, causing her to refuse killing him.
After Mao was defeated, Shirley collapsed in Lelouch's arms, tormented by her feelings for him, death of her father and guilt over shooting Villetta.
Unable to bear seeing her in pain, Lelouch used his Geass to make her forget him, despite his own pain of losing Shirley. As she left, Lelouch regretted his actions and wondered if he might have loved her, but thought he'd never know it now. By Season 2, Shirley, along with the Ashford Council had been brainwashed by Emperor Charles to forget all the incidents. Still, Shirley developed her old crush on Lelouch once more and maintained their friendship.
She even advised him on love matters, stating the love is the most powerful force. Later, she confronted Sayoko posing as Lelouch.
Thinking he was a playboy, and in an attempt to distract her from things related to Lelouch's hidden nature as Zero, Sayoko kissed her. As a result, Lelouch is incapable of convincing Shirley that he doesn't like her, and they became a couple on Cupid's Day, despite Lelouch's intention to avoid such result, as he is still guilt ridden about the history she has forgotten.
When Jeremiah used his Geass canceler on Shirley, she remembered everything she had forgotten. Despite everything he had done, Shirley saw Lelouch's motivation for his actions and forgave him. She tried to find him, to support him and reunite him with Nunnally. Unfortunately, she found Rolo instead, to whom she revealed her intention. Jealous and wary, Rolo murdered her on the spot, leaving her to die.
When a devastated Lelouch arrived, he found her dying in a pool of blood. Getting to see her beloved, Shirley confessed her long maintained feelings for him, stating that even after knowing his crimes, losing her memories, she fell in love with him all over again.
She told him that she wasn't afraid, as she would die loving him again. A devastated and sobbing Lelouch desperately tries to force her to live with his Geass, but she dies in his arms. Shirley's death had a profound effect on Lelouch. It was one of the main motivations for him to wipe out the Geass Order to the last man, woman and child. It also made Lelouch fear that intimacy with others would lead them to die because of him, leading to his obsessive behaviour to prevent C.
At the start, the two seem to consider each other nothing more than part of a contract with C. This began to change during the Battle of Narita, when he spoke her true name on her request. Later on, they began to get along, with C. She also enjoys teasing him, to which Lelouch would respond by calling her a witch. As the first person to know what he really desires, C. Their bond seemed to be close enough that when Mao attempted to kidnap C. By the end of the first season, their connection allowed Lelouch to see some of her past.
As Lelouch refused to judge her, C. Although Lelouch was rather shocked at this sudden movement to the point of not returning it, he did not mind it and bid her farewell. In the second season, C. When she was about to be granted her wish to end her immortal life by Charles, Lelouch stated that he knew her one true wish.
He promises her that he would make her true wish come true, and that she would die with a smile on her face. This causes C. When Lelouch finds out that C.
He treated the amnesiac C. He saw her memories and how she came to get her Geass, which gave him a true understanding of her. When he accidentally took his anger out on her, he immediately regretted it and gave her a band-aid.
He even ordered pizza for her while she was suffering from amnesia. An eye bearing the Geass symbol is shown at the end instead. The story is set in an alternative Earth where the reigning superpower is the Holy Britannian Empire. Lelouch vi Britannia is an exiled prince living in Japan. One day he gets caught up in a terrorist attack where he meets a mysterious girl called C. It allows him to command anyone to do whatever he wants and thus stages a rebellion to overthrow the Britannian Empire.
Unless there's another season that adds on to it, we really can't definitively prove whether Lelouch is either dead or alive.
There's just too much circumstantial evidence that he is alive, yet more solid evidence plus motive to say that he is dead. It's inconclusive, really, but as a placeholder I think seeing him as passed on would be appropriate for now. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

Ask Question. Asked 8 years, 11 months ago. Active 3 years, 3 months ago. Viewed k times. If that person was really Lelouch, then, has he already gained immortality by that time? Improve this question. Huh, I always thought that was just Suzaku in Zero's uniform side-glancing the episode at a friend's place. The one who stabbed Lelouch at the last episode was indeed Suzaku wearing Zero's uniform.
Yeah, but I also meant at the end on the cart. The face of the one on the cart wasn't shown but I do believe that it was Lelouch with CC.
That's why I want to have proofs that Lelouch is already immortal by the time he was stabbed. I want to believe that Lelouch and CC will live together, forever literally. I think the scene in the cart hinted that he is already immortal. In any case, I'd rephrase the question, something like: "Who is the person in Zero's suit at the end of R2? Show 4 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. I've copied the relevant part below: " Still, isn't it possible that defeating the wise ruler Schneizel, the person who was supposed to have brought order to the world, might lead to some [viewers] interpreting it as a Bad End?
Lelouch has at least two identities. Perhaps Lelouch vi Britannia died, but Lelouch Lamperouge lived on? Or maybe Lelouch abandoned his name, but he's still alive, and the sources list him as dead because his identity as Lelouch vi Britannia is dead? I can't really argue against the possibility of this, but there is no evidence supporting it at all.
It doesn't really make sense in light of the C. While several people have confirmed that they believe Lelouch dies, director Taniguchi has been notably silent. Perhaps there was some disagreement among those in charge, and Taniguchi actually thinks Lelouch is alive? We can't ever know for certain what happened when they were writing the ending, but it seems reasonable to expect that if there were disagreements, Okouchi wouldn't have claimed that there were none, and if the disagreements were major someone else probably would have spoken up.
Improve this answer. Community Bot 1. Logan M Logan M So, I can assume that they release the pull-cart scene for fans to have false hopes?
They have officially declared that Lelouch died but why would they release the pull cart scene? I guess to have other fans have wishful thinking of the opposite. Oh well, this is convincing enough.
Got my heart broke though as Lelouch's fan. Nice answer btw, thanks. It makes the ending of the anime very ambiguous.
I'll admit that your explanation seems to fit that scene a bit better, but it just isn't consistent with everything that the producers said outside of the anime. Maybe they wanted to officially kill off Lelouch but let fans have their own theories, or something like that. Also sorry for "breaking your heart", that wasn't my intention, but on our Reddit thread reddit. Rewatching the show for the n-th time some months ago, there are actually several scenes where Lelouch hints that he is planning his death - this is probably part of why there was agreement among the staff for Lelouch's fate they had probably made the decision months before the final episode was ready.
The official statements might not be lying, Lelouch Vi Britannia stopped being a human. This does not contradict him becoming immortal. Show 8 more comments. Lelouch is really the cart driver at the end of Code Geass R2. Quoting from this blog post : The most obvious reason would be CC calling to Lelouch in the closing scene of the episode. Lelouch needed the fully evolved Geass to transfer a code.
The code doesn't appear to activate until someone dies. Hence, why C. Same happened with Charles in the World of C. When Lelouch touched Nunnally, Nunnally got a flash of his memories. C" is pronounced. So Lelouch would be "R. When C. So Lelouch and CC lived happily ever after, literally. Interesting, I haven't thought of this before but you give a pretty convincing argument — TheLQ.
Point 5 under "Additional evidences [sic]" makes no linguistic sense; the author's presumption that "R. Alchemist That's immortality. Immortality brings loneliness. That's the price Lelouch would have to pay for. Knowing that he will live on while everyone he know gets old and die. Including his beloved little sister Nunally. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection will be based on an alternate reality created by the recent recap films.
Is it a movie? Is it a series? The new project, aptly titled Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection , was clouded with mystery from the very beginning. Sunrise released a promotional video that features well-known characters like Kallen, Ohgi, and Princess Cornelia in April , but little information has been released since then.
Recently, comments from director Goro Taniguchi and writer Ichiro Okouchi cleared up the situation and answer many of the questions that fans had regarding the new project: it will act as a sequel not to the original series, but rather to the three recap films.
