I think that seeing Lelouch act in a completely different frame of mind as we have in the latest Akito episode was an interesting glimpse into his character. He's equally ruthless and cruel (and grandiose) regardless of what cause he is fighting for. His hatred for Britannia or love for Nunnally is not what caused him to incite genocide in this case. It made me wonder...even if things had played out differently in the end and Lelouch had ascended to the throne without the need for Zero Requiem...would he have really ruled much differently than he did with Zero Requiem?
Does Lelouch even know how to rule (read: control a population) without fear? Rule by terror is Lelouch's default. He's never even made an attempt to control by any other means.
