From A Reddit Debate on Code Geass

>> symbol denotes a quote from another person. 

Without are my responses.

>>Why did the code activate too soon on Lelouch, before his death as you claimed?

It activated between Suzaku piercing him with a blade and and him resting down there 'dead' when Nunnally touches him. All during Zero Requiem. What further difference it will make.

>>Why did Lelouch's sent memories to Nunnally violate everything what C.C. said about code visions (memories of the receiver, shock images, etc)?

Elaborate further

>>Why is Charles the biggest idiot in the show by throwing away his victory on the off chance that Lelouch, contrary to his own wishes, would geass him to die?

I already said, Charles wanted a chance to use his Geass on Lelouch again. He had Code of Immortality to fall back if that does not work and it would be Lelouch who would Geass him.

>>Why would C.C. try to persuade Lelouch to not do the Zero Requiem if he already had a dormant code and thus his fate was already set in stone, Zero Requiem or no Zero Requiem?

I already said. Lelouch would lose his Geass when Code activates. That could mean problems. When CC lost her Geass, people who used to love her under the effect of her Geass, stopped loving her and tried to kill her many times.

>>Why would C.C. tell the audience that Lelouch is dead?

Version difference. It is not in TV version, only in recap movies. Many other stuff you claim can also be only in DVD version. While what I claim is only in TV version. Download Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch R2 somewhere and check yourself.

>>Why would every member of the writing team lie to the audience for 15 years?

Every? I do not read interviews and such. However I know one name Gorou Taniguchi. Did he said anything as well.

>>Why would the anime break its own theme of crime and punishment and “The only ones who should kill, are those who are prepared to be killed.” in the final episode?

That is only your interpretation. DVD version reframed it.

>>Why would Nunnally, who has been shown to be able to sense the truth by touching someone's hand, cry when she felt that Lelouch was actually not dead but immortal?

Nunnally is not psychic. She can tell if person talking to her tells lie or truth but that is about it. She cannot tell any further truth. Lelouch did not said anything to her in that final scene so Nunnally could not tell much. Instead Nunnally saw Lelouch memories, just like when Lelouch saw CC memries during Battle of Narita.

>>Why would C.C. cry when she finally gets an immortal buddy, especially since she no longer viewed immortality as a curse?

Her own experience with immortality was not that happy. in episode 15 she said she wanted to die. However Code carrier cannot die freely. Lelouch too would not be able to die easily if he later changes his mind.

>>Why would Lelouch make Suzaku (a mortal) Zero to guard the peace if he can do that better by being an immortal anime batman?

He is hardly Batman from physical power perspective. After Zero Requiem he no longer has Geass. Also Suzaku wanted revenge for Euphy. So Lelouch tricked Suzaku. He did not told him that he plans to survive Zero Requiem. I think Suzaku would not agree to cooperate with Lelouch plan otherwise.

Suzaku and others all think that Lelouch is dead. Suzaku had to kill Lelouch with his own hands to believe that Lelouch is dead.

Also legally Speaking Suzaku Kururugi, Knight of Zero is dead. They showed his grave in Zero Requiem in TV version at least. Only that cat, Arthur, was there to mourn him. So no one knows that new Zero is actually Suzaku. Does that hint to something else instead.

>>Why would Lelouch geass Schneizel with "you shall obey Zero" instead of his regular "be my slave" of the last few episodes if he's not going to die anyway?

Because he already had Zero Requiem planned. He planned to leave Suzaku in charge as Zero. So he needed Schneizel to obey that new Zero as well, not just Emperor Lelouch.

If Schneizel will not recognize this new Zero he could start an uprising. He is smart enough to figure out that new Zero is a different person.

Without that Lelouch could not just leave things on their own.

--- One final thing. Who knows that Lelouch is alive. ---

I say he only told that to CC and may be Sayako and Jeremiah.

He would not tell that Suzaku or anyone else.

However he might even keep it secret from everyone.

CC eventually found out for sure. Sayako and Jeremiah could be in the dark.
