I'm talking about Picture Drama 8, not her right before the assassination.
And here's the thing: the soldiers would not be expended like that in the first place if he went with a different plan. Again, he had options. Plus, the Mt. Fuji thing was a case of No Endor Holocaust for the sake of expediency. |

Schneizel wanted to unite everyone against democlius ( spell check ) by destroying all the worlds big city and all its population. But Lelouch thought a geassed Schneizel could serve the new zero ( Suzaku ) well, so he absorbed all the hatred himself and saved Schneizel.
Now what Schneizel deserved it or not is debatable, like many are angry ohgi and villetta should not have happy endings. My personal feeling is that some sacrifice had to be made to ensure preace, and not everyone gets poetic judgment. So I do not bother whether ohdi deserved peace or not. I am just happy Lelouch's plan succeeded and his sacrifice was not in vain. |

And thus it all comes back to the fact Lelouch (and Suzaku) simply did not want to do anything else at that point in the story. Both his specific way of thinking and his emotional state prevented him from picking other choices that seem better from a purely external perspective, but which do not take into account the character's point of view and all the subjective (or self-serving, if you prefer) objectives he wanted to achieve aside from merely uniting the world.

If he wasn't such a jackass to the UFN he might have had a chance at uniting against Schinizel, however by the time he rolled out Damocles (and revealed Nunnally was alive) he was already too deep into the plan to stop (and Suzaku would have likely killed him if he wimped out for his own selfish desires for Nunnally again). Nobody would trust him at that point since he had basically proven everyone right in their theorys that he was an evil selfish bastard that wanted world dominiation.
Nunnally apparant death ruined everything. If he sucessfully took her back, then even if Schinizel talked the Black Knights into questioning him, Lelouch would have had the confidence and desire to talk his way out of it (I still maintain that if Lelouch had showed up full of confidence when Schnizel first attempted to negotiate he could have deflected Schniziels accusations and kept the BK on his side. But by the time he finally showed up they were already agitiated and he was too depressed to bother.) And ironically Nunally's supposed death had nothing to do with Ougi or Viletta. |

**** Ougi didn't ask him like comrade but like death sentence criminal and he even dare to invite Schinizel to see his execution (that why Lelouch said there is no point to say anything since it's already been checkmate( And then *** Ougi said if he try to come back we will just said that he is fake (All japan higher up already betray rest of world(UFN) and joined hand with Schinizel) |

Because he felt he had nothing more to live for after Nunnally seemingly died and learning that everything he ever thought he knew (his father was an evil bastard that murdered his mother and he needed to defeat him to avenge her and so that he and Nunnally could be left alone) was all a lie and basically everything he did in his life was for naught, and wanted to die, so he figured he might as well make his death useful.
Then Nunnally turned up alive, but it was too late as he had already started the plan and it was too late to back out. |

Like I said after they way he become emperor >>> civilian and noble don't trust him
(Not under geass = random person they don't even know become emperor) Black night and UFN trust *** Ougi more than him since they don't know that he is Zero but Britannia prince/emperor So if *** Ougi say left = heaven(But it was actually hell) and Lelouch right = heaven then all UFN will go left no matter what Lelouch try even if they can see flame from far away since Zero give them back their pride and hope >>> *** Ougi used dead Zero name to control Blacknight So in they end with most higher up in Blacknight from japan sold Blacknight and UFN for Schinizel = there no way he can do anything |

If the producers had retained their original plans for Code Geass R2 instead of changing the entire structure of the show, it might have turned out better if they had done a 2-part recap episode that would be a flashback of Season One, which might have been cheaper to produce than what was decided upon at the last minute. Anyway, going back to Lelouch's death, I feel that death was the only escape for Lelouch for if he had lived, he would be in prison for the rest of his life. And while captured, if he managed to obtain his father's Geass, Lelouch might have found it as his way of escaping death because that would have been the only viable outcome for him. Either way, Lelouch was going to die. The only way that this whole ordeal could have been prevented is if Euphemia had not been Geassed into killing innocent lives, which led to her death. |

I don't think so. It was putting the two seasons together, 50 episodes, the same length as the usual Sunrise mech series. If anything they dragged it longer than they planned as they were afraid they'd get cancelled before season 1 was even finished as nobody in Sunrise had faith in the show at first. They certainly wouldn't go above 50, as only series based on ongoing manga do that.
Plus the writer and director insist that Zero requiem, the BK betrayal and Lelouch's death was always going to be the planned ending of the show. Only the road leading to it was changed in R2. |

Like season one, I felt that season two was rushed as well as the producers had suspected that Code Geass R2 would be the end. I wished that Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion had started out as a manga series first before it even became an anime TV series. It's good to know that Code Geass: Renya of Darkness and Code Geass: Oz the Reflection are being maintained as a manga series first before the anime is even produced. The manga usually serves as a guide for the anime to follow. It is too bad that Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion never got the opportunity to be produced as a manga series, followed by the anime series. Last edited by darthfury78; 2013-05-20 at 08:52. |

That's Shonen series. Not mecha. No Sunrise mech anime has been produced manga first ever. Most of them don't even have manga.
And most importantly none of them have gotten above 50 eps. Geass never was going to have more than 50 eps. That was the plan, and that is how long series in its genre usually get. |
