did Lelouch die at the end of Code Geass well yes and no in Final turn re suzaku stabs Lelouch
as the final phase of the zero Requiem Lelouch takes the time to look back upon his life before
seemingly meeting his end in the side of the entire world so it appeared that Lelouch had died
but in the last scene but then C2 says this I said that GEOS was the power of the king which would
condemn I think maybe that's not quite correct right Lelouch fans then theorized that perhaps
Lelouch could still be alive and was hiding in Disguise as the carriage driver it is possible
that a luge could still be alive due to taking Charles code but this is a topic for another day
and I won't delve into the details of that now let me know in the comment section below if you'd like
me to talk about the code plus geost theory in a future video among the confusion the creators
clarified Lucia's fate in several interviews here's an excerpt from the November 2008 edition
of the Japanese magazine animage so you accept the end of the show I think that before he reached the
final scene Lelouch had many possibilities to choose from but he understood very well what
he had done and had to pay the price for that tazaku choose to live as zero and was a war
the opportunity to pay for his sins by this choice and Lelouch got his salvation by choosing not the
happiness of living on but to sacrifice his own life to create the situation for the world to move
forward if you think think about his character I don't think he would still be himself if he
chose another end there are also tweets from one of the series creators Ichiro okauchi confirming
that they had always planned on killing the loot at the end of the series in the official guidebook
you have excerpts like this one in the end nully isn't even allowed to Bear her brother's sins
until right before her brother dies she seems to want to hate him for that upon realizing the truth
behind her brother's actions Nelly clings to her brother's corpse and whales and then she succeeds
her brother's will and starts walking together with zaku who has become zero down the road as
a ruler who creates peace because that alone is the one and only thing she can do for her brother
lastly Sunrise released a summary film for R2 in 2008 with one alteration from the original anime
there is a new and credit sequence that undeniably proves Deluge did indeed me his end at the climax
of the zero Requiem this replaced a cart driver scene from the original anime as C2 says during
the end credits of the film a young man dies he's got power to change the world and build
up a new order the world was scared of him and hated him but I know he passed away with a smile
in 2019 Goro tanaguchi gave an interview to Miami list that somewhat contradicts my privacy stated
points to add we wanted to make it unclear in the TV series whether Lucia was alive or dead to have
it be a point of intrigue for our audience we tried to leave it very vague but people
eventually decided that loose was definitely dead that wasn't Our intention so he had to come back
and clarify but based on earlier interviews the creators say that it was decided that Volusia was
going to die at the end of the series so what did he mean by wanting to keep it vague and the people
didn't decide that luch was dead since they're the ones that came up with the very theories
of how he survived that's why the craters had to clarify what happened in the interviews following
the end of the series it seems like there's a contradiction between what Ichiro and Goro's
opinions are on the ending but since the majority of what I read is confirmation from the creators
that Lush did die at the end of the original anime that's what I'm going with it's possible girl only
said those things to bring hype for the upcoming film nonetheless this topic does not finish here
since we've only discussed the original timeline there are two more the alternative anime timeline
previously known as the film verse which has now been altered with the announcement of Z
recapture a show that we have no information on and might have been secretly canceled and
the other timeline is the manga timeline in the alternative anime Universe Lelouch doesn't die
at the end instead he inherited Charles code but still has a GEOS which means something went wrong
since normally inheriting a code replaces the GEOS power after the loose was certainly killed Shirley
and Jeremiah worked together to retrieve his body since the luch had killed the god of Sea's world
the Reconstruction process failed resulting in his mind going missing in Sea's world at
least that's how I interpret what C2 said so delusion we see here is just an empty husk the
measly remains of what he once was at the our mood gate C2 was able to restore Lucia's mind leading
to his resurrection Lelouch isn't an immortal at this point like C2 anista is considered a failed
one a failed one is someone who didn't properly inherited a code a concept introduced in the manga
runy of Darkness if you want to learn more about renya of Darkness I went over that manga in this
video this explains his new powers or why Gia still affects him despite having a code Lelouch
hinted that he might not be around for much longer suggesting his resurrection might not be permanent
but in the picture drama for this film 10 years has passed Andalusia is still here with C2 going
after the Gia shards now named L2 moving on the manga timeline follows the same route
as the old turn of anime timeline with some key differences at the end of lush other billion re
Lucia's mind is shown to be imprisoned in Seas World C2 Alters her explanation of what happened
in the Manga version of that same scene from the film she states right any gas user whose
power has matured can inherit a code and those who inherited code become immortal in exchange
for losing their GEOS Powers but Lelouch continues his geosk even after that whatever was wrong with
his code it persisted through the zero Requiem he most certainly died after being run through the
heart but his wounds closed up and his heart began beating again it's just his spirit that is still
missing Jeremiah was at least able to secure a safe place near his hometown to intern the Lucia's
body until its regeneration and I went into Sea's world to try and reconstruct him and the rest of
her explanation follows the film the part that confuses me is when did elusch lose his mind
was it after his death F or after they attempted to reconstruct him the film makes it seem like
it was after they reconstructed him but the manga suggests it was immediately after he died another
change in the manga is that Shirley died so she doesn't help Jeremiah retrieve volusia's
body instead she helps alouche reclaim his mind in Sea's world with both Rolo and euphemia so did the
luch die in the original timeline well according to most sources yes despite all the fan theories
but in alternative timelines he lived now some fans are angry that Lelouch was resurrected at
all and I get that in many ways it goes against the things the loose stood for as Ichiro said in
an interview there are probably lots of people who think of it as a bad end a tragedy considering the
protagonist solution's end as well however elus says in the first episode only those appeared to
be shot are allowed to pull the trigger themselves if you were to think of that as his pride then I
think he's getting shot in the end was a logical end of course I understand that not all the
viewers will accept this ending there were people who want to have her ending after all but since
it's an alternative timeline it doesn't retcon the original story let me know in the comment section
