cause those zipper uniforms are the normal uniforms without the front part and belt
I guess you can take off the buttons as well
you can see they also have that symbol in their neck like the others
The outfit design also shows that the frontal flap can be removed

Take off the buttons? How?

It's just a bit weird to me, since everyone in that one scene specifically has the zipper style, while I can't recall it anywhere else in the episode. I had guessed that that might have been the middleschool section of Ashford, since Anya was there and in the same middleschool uniform as Nunally, but no on else seemed closer to her height.

that could also be it, since there are different school uniforms for girls there could also be for the boys..
However Rolo didn't have such a uniform, or Rolo just passed the age line for another uniform

I always thought that the uniform with the buttons were the older uniforms, and the zipper one is the new uniform of Ashford Academy by S2.

Then again, I didn't really pay attention to the uniforms in S1, so who knows.

Spoiler for ending:

Eventually put to rest by having C.C say that Lelouch is dead for good in the special addition DVD

Is the part about the special edition dvd true? If so, does someone have a link to more info about it?

Yes it's true, and it was already an accepted truth long before that since the writers had already said the same thing and the fact was also officially stated several times.

Unfortunately.

if lelouch is alive, then it makes him the biggest hypocrite and karma hudini in the show
his death is the only reason why he can be considered anything but a douchebag villain

Gah, stop disregarding the possibility that if he'd lived, he could have done so unintentionally. xD

[bladeofdarkness]

then rather then HIM being a hypocrite
the whole message behind zero-requiem becomes a joke
not much of an improvement

What message?
Lelouch's sacrifice wouldn't have been diminished, because he would still have made it. Fate would only have screwed him over, as always.

[bladeofdarkness]

that the only sacrifice lelouch made that STUCK was the one involving countless other people's lives
and his sacrifice would have been completely deminished
just as every heroic sacrifice is diminished by having it canceled

i think this would be better continues on a different thread if you want

[-KarumA-]

please back on topic and PLEASE he is DEAD...
Get over it.. uugh it has been confirmed by the VA's / writers etc. etc.
Mentioning that it would be better that he'd be alive or anything like that will only bring forth more discussion that doesn't belong here.. seriously get over it.. Lulu-lives fans might just be worse than some yaoi fangirls..

Now back on topic!

Well...technically....there is no set topic, it's a Q and A topic...

[Rising Dragon]

It is not, however, a discussion thread. The topic is to ask a question and receive an answer, not go off on a tangent, so... yeah.

yet it seems to go off-topic each time people ask about it:
someone could just say okay he is dead...
then someone else says something irrelevant like if he wasn't then this and this is all for nothing
then the next person says well it was for something and continues about that subject
and then we have discussion
Not that the above was all that bad but there were pages where my eyebrow went up like "Then... who has phone?!"
I'm merely rising a red flag before it happens again and a mod gets to clean up the left overs of it. That is why keep it relevant to the question and don't raise any reply flags of people who feel an urge to ask/discuss/prove wrong anything irrelevant. Besides a discussion about Lulu being alive or dead is pretty meaningless since it was confirmed that he's dead

[Nogitsune]

Uhm... actually, we had already dropped the topic.
So, could we drop this one now? xD

Oh, I can ask that question while I'm at it.
Was it ever stated somewhere why Lelouch and Nunally being banished to Japan was never brought up by anyone, like Jeremiah or the Imperial Siblings? In the Light Novels Charles made up an excuse to send them away, but in canon, that would only have worked if he had geassed the nobles present in the flashback at the beginning of episode 7, which was never mentioned.
So... did everyone just "forget" Lelouch's little display that day because they were so busy mourning (or celebrating) his and Nunally's death and blaming Japan?
