Yum.... people are desperate for an episode 26 aren't they (referring to the link claiming an extra episode will air)
I think its made up along with the Gundam 00 airing earlier. Wouldn't be surprised the same person made both I'll crap bricks if both are true (which it wont so yea ) |

Actually I think that him dying wouldn't fix a damn thing. I mean, Emperor Lelouch had to die, but it wasn't necessary for Lelouch Lamperouge to die. Dying is the easy way out; a couple of minutes of agony and that's it.
On the other hand, him being alive would be so much more sacrifice: it will be a never-ending torture. Yes, he gets to be with CC, but he watches everybody else he cared about die without being able to do anything. I believe is like the Bushido -the samurai honor code- says about the seppuku (ritual suicide): "A warrior must always take the most difficult road; die only if that is the most difficult way out, but if Life is more difficult then you must live" |

Hell one of the main themes was how Suzaku became stronger due to his abandoning his honor, while the KoR who followed honor, where worthless. |

I understand the sentiments people have about wanting Lelouch to live, along with the possibility of having a third season or continuation of some sort that it would bring. However, the ending was beautifully done as it is. From the very beginning we've seen Lelouch honestly regard many people as pawns, tools to be used rather than people to be respected and cared for. Over the course of the series Lelouch wavered between total disregard for his own emotions along with the lives of others, and truly caring to make things better for everyone. In the end he made the ultimate sacrifice, trading his life and his reputation for world peace and unity.
It's a bittersweet ending, and yet I feel that endings like this are what distinguish anime from many western forms of entertainment. The deaths of characters that should seemingly be unkillable is a terrific story tool. As much as I'd love to see a third season of Code Geass, this was a beautiful ending as it is. It would be cheapened immensely by a third season where Lelouch lived. This series was one heck of an emotional ride, and it was fitted with a beautiful ending. Fantastic.

I disagree that Lelouch not dying is out of character. It's hard to say. Is dying something Lelouch would normally do? Cause being OOC is a character doing something it wouldn't normally do. Also, you can't just dictate whether or not Lelouch should die according to your moral values. |

Actually, the ending is Lelouch is alive and Lelouch is dead, again depending on the perspective. In the anime itself, the public believed that Lelouch is dead, but only because they are ignorant of the Code's power. However, those who knew Lelouch much more, such as C.C. and Nunnally, knew that Lelouch is still alive. So who do we side with: The ignorant masses or those who actually knew Lelouch? |

You just can't say that Lelouch is alive because Nunnaly, and C.C know them best and believe his alive when their is nothing that states that. You just can't call people who think his dead Ignorant Masses. |

As for what I said about C.C. and Nunnally, there's plenty of unstated premises that I didn't bother to write. Anyway, my point is just that those who didn't know Lelouch or about Codes and Geasses should be thoroughly convinced that Lelouch is dead. |

I really like how the polls turned out. All those whiners that manage to give an episode a 1 just because they didn't understand the ending or because the last few episodes have not gone their way... or the best one yet... because of 2nd hand information that the show MIGHT have turned out different are now in the vast minority.
For an episode to receive a "1" it has to be pretty bad, beyond how you like or dislike how the storyline turned out. If the animation is good and the music was well done, it is already above a 1. It's like those people that hate Seed Destiny because it's "cool" to hate it on the boards. It keeps being used as a reference on how bad a show can be ignoring the fact that is was very popular and a success. Even the biggest haters didn't go "oh wow, this is pretty shitty, I'll drop that show like a bad habit and watch something else" .... nope, they where glued to the computer spamming that refresh button to download the episode as soon as possible, then hit the boards with a flaming running start... Try to learn from Code Geass... if you're disapointed, if you're shipping shipwrecked or plain confused.. give it some time. Let some people explain what happend, cool off and please... PLEASE curbe the hate until you have seen the translated version. |

And since Lelouch doesn't believe in forcing his will onto others, he'd do nothing to keep the peace even if he were alive. The whole point of him rejecting Charles/Schniezel and then dying was to say that people will search for their own tomorrow; that's why (at least politically) him being alive is useless. You said that this show discourages punishing yourself uselessly, right? Making Lelouch watch over the world out of 'atonement' falls right into that category. Quote:
Lelouch. Look at his smile as Zero comes near him. Look at his smile as he arrives to greet Nunally. Look at his smile as he closes his eyes. That smile is not the smile of an actor. Last edited by Sol Falling; 2008-10-05 at 04:26. |
