Only the back end of it is blocked by the wall, which hints that he merely opened up the cockpit to escape. The entire cockpit is removed from the Knightmare Frame with an ejection system. When the Lancelot Albion exploded, you see the cockpit block still attached to the Knightmare Frame.

I'm not trying to say the Lancelot Albion didn't have an ejection system, all I'm saying is that it wasn't activated at the end of the battle.

No I was answering your question earlier about the explosion go back and read your question if u don't understand.

the live geass wouldnt have made him able to get away on foot (which was my point)
and he was sitting in place and telling kallen that she nailed him rather then start jumping away from the lancelot
meanning that the live geass didnt force him to escape (so he knew that he wouldnt die by staying in the cockpit)

if it had launced then it would have gone to an area hidden by the wall
and we wouldnt have seen it happen (becouse of the flash of the explosion)

If I remember right there was no working Lancelot at all in episode 21. Kallen ripped it apart in episode 18. Episode 21 was about Marianne's death.

Perhaps, but I'm more inclined to believe that wasn't so because of A) the back end of the cockpit being hidden by the wall, and B) even if we don't see it, the ejection system would've made it seem to others present (such as Gino) that Suzaku survived the battle, which would've made his gravestone rather out of place. By having it so that the ejection system was not activated reinforces the idea that Suzaku was killed in action.

Ther was no ejection on Lancelot and there was no ejection on it when it has wing
So what makes u think Albion has an ejection system?

the reason i find it hard to except is his response to kallen's question (whether or not she nailed him)
if he really was expecting his KMF to explode at any second and knew the ejection block was not the way to go i'd expect his geass command would have had him running for the hills the second she hit him
instead he sits in place and watches as his machine turns off and answering kallens question
it would make more sense for his geass to let him do that if he knew that staying in the cockpit would still mean that he wouldnt die

@Knight Of Zero
different machine altogether (unlike the SEITEN which was the old guren after an upgrade)
and since the frontier (C.C's lancelot) had one and so did the vincents (a lancelot MP model) then why would the new one not have one

The Lancelot was a prototype and they never got around to adding the ejection system due to it. We don't know if the Lancelot Conquista had the ejection system, but I have every reason to believe it did, due to the time-skip; it'd have given Lloyd something to do.

Furthermore, the Lancelot Frontier, the pink one C.C. used, which was pretty much identical to the Lancelot Air Cavalry, had an ejection system.

For all we know, Suzaku could've escaped by opening up the cockpit to make a run for it while the camera was panning down to show the fatal blow dealt to the Lancelot Albion, so in all likelihood, the Live Geass Command probably did make him run for it. In the end, we don't know, and it doesn't matter anyway since we do know Suzaku survived and became Zero for the Zero Requiem.

The Conquista didn't have an ejection system, even with the timeskip, he would've activated it when Kallen was going for the killer blow to survive instead of flying fleija.

Except he wanted to atone for his past sins and let it come, which caused the Live Geass to activate. Not the best example you can give on this.

Exactly, and not only that but he actually lowered the arm he was going to block with. However, if he did have one, one would assume that "point-blank nuke" would not be the preferable option to "eject to safety."

[bladeofdarkness]

not that any of that matters at all since
as i keep saying
Conquista and the albion ARE NOT THE SAME MACHINE AT ALL

[youngde]

Personally, I think it would spectacularly poor writing if the final epic, climatic battle between the two main mechs in Code Geass was all for show. It would be such a spectacular anti-climax for that particular aspect of the show it wouldn't even be funny. The basic feel I got from the fight was Kallen and Suzaku are equal after you take out the SEITEN hax and 'live on' hax. Kallen just happened to get the last hit in, and Suzaku mangaed to survive (presumably because his 'live on'+impossible physical ability let him escape).

I think people are having trouble with this for the same reason people are still declaring shipping victories. It's rare for an anime to get to the end w/o letting you know who the best was, just like it's rare for an anime to not give a definitive answer to shipping wars. Code Geass isn't typical; it left ALOT of stuff open. You just gotta roll with it.

youngde, signing off.

Lol, if everything was so clear-cut, little things would be left for us to chew over...

yup it would die out quick.. and so if a sequel/spin off comes out no one will care..

I'd like to see an OVA fulfilling Lelouch's Ashford dream....
Or a Kallen spin-off a la Final Fantasy X-II...
Or just several sequels with C.C. being the phoenix/hinotori of the CG-verse.

I haven't played FFX-2 but in FFX Tidus dies/disappears. No doubt about this.

Spoiler for spoiler FFX-2:

But then again, if I remember what I read, they found a way to bring him back in X-2. So who knows what can happen about Lelouch <_<. To find a way to revive him is not a problem if taniguchi wants to make a sequel with Lelouch someday.

At the moment, I don't see them doing a sequel. Lelouch is apparently dead but c.c. is still alive. It is like letting a door open for a sequel, because c.c. is alive, and so, a new geass story could take place in the future. In 10, 20 or 600 years, with or without Lelouch (when I think about it, creating a new hero could be interesting).

If their was a new story i'd rather it was nearer to the end of the timesacle that you suggested. If their was a major conflict so soon after his death it would be a case of "WTF?!?!?!!?!". His death didn't bring a lasting peace so his sacrifice was pointless in the end. NOOO!!!!!!!! This Lelouch fanboy might just shed a few tears. Or bomb the Sunrise building.

Humanity has a very large capacity to make war. That is just the way it is. We are a competitive species, it is how we have survived and flourished. Frankly I do not care if his sacrifice was for naught in this case as he pretty much turned into Suzaku in the end. Which I guess is why Suzaku agreed to help him.

[Droplet]

Nunnally could name her future child Lelouch. And he shall be the new hero. He'll plot against scheming nobles who want to usurp the throne. That being said, I'm already satisfied by R2.

But I don't mind being spoiled by Sunrise.
