I wonder if I am the only stupid one to make a simple mistake.
It took me 5 years to understand the 2nd episode of the Code Geass, where Clovis said my brother made an awesome machine, I used to think Clovis was talking about Loyd but actually he was talking about Schneizel. Self Faceplm |

I'm curious...What in the world happened in the immediate aftermath of zero requiem.
Surely it would have been suspicious who this Zero figure was. I don't think Suzaku could keep his secret from the world as long as only Nunnally knew about it. Zero was seen carrying Nunally in the epilogue to meetings with that bastard-who-didn't-deserve-to-live (Ohgi). My guess was that at least Cornelia had to know, maybe Kaguya, Tianzi and the bastard himself. Also, how would Schneizel do all of Zero's commands without somebody noticing something wrong. I would also have liked a more immediate reaction to his death (as in that night and the day after his death)-especially Kallen and those who may have figured out his plan. Oh well, that is what fanfiction is for I guess :/ |

To counter that, "All good things must come to an end", eventually human nature or another world power would contest the Requime or try there own rebellion against the UFN.
But we'll probably never know.

Another thing I want to point out is would Cornelia had adopted Lelouch and Nunnally if Emperor Charles had not sent them to Japan? |

Translation of the Naked Memory Album, with commentary from Gino (sadly, God I hate him), Rivalz (good good on that one) and Kallen (yaaaaaas.) Some really interesting, funny and touching stuff altogether. Treat yourself.

Even so, an ending's purpose, as it has been stated by a famous dude I can't remember (even though I took a uni class on that damn subject), must have a logical conclusion and the result of the whole outcome should make sense on the audience's mind by the entirety of what it was presented, even if it doesn't appeal to the generic wishes and wishful thinkings; and like the writers said, they changed many stuff in R2, but the ending was planned from the beginning. Honestly, Lelouch's whole journey could only end like this. Now, if someone could have let a random nuke fall into the place of that goddamn Viletta/Ougi wedding, with only survivors being Kallen, Milly, Rivalz, Lloyd and a couple others, that would be the ultimate best ending. Ever.

Ultimately, each person is free to hold their own opinions about the ending and the series as a whole. There's no such thing as one correct view.
In that sense, the whole "but fanfics did it better" card feels rather flat since they will only be "better" for those who prefer their specific interpretations and changes. At that point, all of this turns into an endless debate where multiple assumptions, varying personal preferences and opposing expectations are being traded like stocks. |

I'm planning to write a Fix Fic where Suzaku blackmails Ohgi into stepping down as Prime Minister, making Villetta his servant, and transferring custody of their child over to Kallen as ultimate payback. Quote:
Let's face it: Code Geass R2 was full of logical holes. |

But the ending felt powerful even if the lead up felt a bit short. I'd give my house to see an OVA where Ougi and Viletta pay for all their moronic decisions throughout the show and their convenient moral codes that easy came and easy went.

Even if certain circumstances were initially triggered by Diabolus ex Machina, Lelouch usually still made a personal choice that affected the ensuing consequences. Britannia itself might be the greater evil, for obvious reasons, but Zero being the lesser one does not necessarily make him right from every angle. Lelouch realized this and knew that his record wasn't going to be getting any cleaner in the long run. While it wasn't Lelouch's preferred outcome, he did understand his own death was a possible price to pay in the process as a result of his sins, long before he became a broken man near the ending. In fact, that wasn't the only time he fell into despair and/or attempted to hurt or kill himself. Schneizel manipulated the Black Knights into not even giving him a fair trial, which is understandably aggravating, but just because they fell for the half-truths or lies and underhanded tricks of someone worse does not mean Lelouch could never be considered wrong if they had, in fact, held a proper inquiry and examined his conduct in detail. The actual chain of events that led to his death wasn't perfect nor inevitable, but it can't be said that everything happened to him in a vacuum either. Quote:

Of course, I'd personally prefer a much more constructive and positive plan of action myself and I won't deny Lelouch deserved a better fate than the one that was quite forcefully imposed upon him, which is also the one which he willingly chose to embrace in the end. |

One other thing is that Lelouch was mostly forced to extremities during the Rebellion because of the imposing threat the Britannian Empire posed, whereas following Charles' defeat, he actually had more options. |

Nothing was stated to that effect. What is definitely known is that Lelouch had families executed for speaking out against him (C. C. states this in the second to last picture drama); he geassed his soldiers into complete obedience, made them wear masks, and treated them as expendables; and he detonated Mt. Fuji, likely eliminating most of the world's major energy supplies, and causing a ton of destruction throughout Japan.
