Shouldn't have Lelo tried to ally himself with the Black Knights, maybe have a talk with them ,after he became Emperor?
Is Schneizel the real bad guy - his objective of killing plenty of people all over the world with FLEIA?
Who on earth is Anya? Is she related to Lelo? Her memories were erased... |
Zero Requiem was a plan crafted by Lelouch, one that would focus on him becoming the most hated villain and the source of evil in the eyes of the people of the world. And then, also part of the plan, he would be slain in front of the people by someone who had become a symbol: Zero. This way, the people lose the reason for their hatred, and they can concentrate on rebuilding the world. Its a gamble, but its one that Lelouch betted on and for the most part, it seems to have worked.
His not complying to the wishes of the UN and the Black Knights were part of Zero Requiem. If he comes off as a nice guy and complies with them, then he can't become the villain that the world needs.
Schniezel is, for the most part, the show's final antagonist. He wanted to force the world into peace by nuking anyone who felt like they should start a war. Nunnally had plans on making the Damocles into a symbol of hatred, much like Lelouch planned on doing to himself through Zero Requiem.
Anya is a little girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got a taste of Marianne's Geass when Marianne was murdered. She is not related to Lelouch, and her memories were not erased, but simply masked over by false memories, courtesy of Charles and Marianne.
