Code Geass R2 Ending Lelouchs Death Explained









People seem to think that Lelouch Lamperouge died at the end of Code Geass R2, Though if you where paying attention at the ending of Code Geass R2 you would understand that the ending was just a cliffhanger. They deliberately gave us a sneaky clue that this isn't the end of code Geass.





The reason why Lelouch is still alive even after getting " killed " by Zero (Suzaku Kururugi) is because in episode 21 Charles (The 98th emperor of the Britannian Empire) was killed by Lelouch. Although he didn't kill Charles with his hands he is still responsible for killing him after using his Geass on the subconscious that later killed Charles.













Before Charles died he tried to choke Lelouch with his right hand (The same hand that had the Geass symbol."This when things start making sense") while Charles was choking him with his Geass hand Lelouch was stealing his code, thus making Lelouch immortal





To back up my theory further in the church scene of the final episode of R2 CC said while crying "The price you're going to pay for using your Geass is going to be a dear one"













This little scene has a way deeper meaning. CC wouldn't care if Lelouch was to die because she always says that life is meaningless. The price she was talking about is Lelouch being immortal. That's why she is crying she doesn't anyone to be immortal.









Now theirs Nunnally (Lelouchs sister). After she touches Lelouchs hand it looks like she sees all his memories. Though as you follow through her character you learn that she has an instinct of figuring out when someone lying just by touching their hand.





This could be a Geass of her own and thats why she knows if someone is lying to her or it could be a result of her being blind for all those years and has made her develop other senses just by touching someones hand and feeling there pulse. (I think that after he "dies" he activated his code and shared some of his memories to show his sister that everything he did was sincere ).













Theres a simple answer of to why he let Zero kill Lelouch. Lelouch told orange everything about letting zero kill him and that in order for him to make the world a better place he simply must die. Orange is way to loyal to just let Lelouch die otherwise.









Lastly there's the cart scene. Without a doubt the man on the horses is Lelouch. Since the world is now a peaceful world why would you need to hide your face? on top of all that his head is down while riding the horse.









While Lelouch was riding the horses CC said while looking at the sky "The power of the kings geass brings one solitude not quite accurate wouldn't you say so Lelouch?" then she moves her head to the driver of the cart. Now if that isn't Lelouch then why would she have said all that and turned to the driver?





If you're still not convinced then lets end this off with the Code Geass R3 Trailer.
