I want to cry so bad.

I knew it was a good sign for me when you and Owen agreed on something for once. TAKE THAT, MOTHER-FUCKERS!

No confirmation on whether Lelouch is alive or dead. Taniguchi agreed. (in the interview in the issue that scan comes from) don’t bother him about it.
Christ you people have no idea how to distinguish what the magazine writers are randomly making up from what was said by actual members of the production staff.

For Lelouch-alive hopefuls, I’m interpreting it as C.C talking to Lelouch as he tries to fall asleep for the first time as an immortal.
His old life as the Emperor Lelouch Vi Britannia is now over, and all the dreams he had before in his old life will forever remain dreams, since he can’t go back to who he was before.

Is that true? Did you have any scans or links of that interview?

>>For Lelouch-alive hopefuls, I’m interpreting it as C.C talking to Lelouch as he tries to fall asleep for the first time as an immortal.
Because Lelouch is trying to fall asleep with his dick inside C2.
Roger that.

People who think Lelouch is alive are faggots anyway.
October 9th, 2008 at 3:35 am
Where is the link of this translation ?

I was gonna yell out that the symbols weren’t even Japanese but then I figured out that the characters were merely sideways. Humiliation avoided.
October 9th, 2008 at 4:58 am
Eeeh, heee. Well then… though, doesn’t it seem slightly sweeter and more proper this way?

who cares about lulu, zero lives!

If it’s true that Taniguchi said there was no confirmation on whether he’s alive or dead, I’d rather believe that than the flowery poetry of a magazine. I’d think Taniguchi would know better than the writers of Newtype. Call it a hunch.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:33 am
“I’d think Taniguchi would know better than the writers of Newtype.”
… but he doesn’t know!
Fucking cop-out.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Then that means we’re allowed to decide if we want him dead or alive. ;P It’s left up to us to decide which we’d rather it be, and no one can prove either side wrong. If people want him dead, he’s dead to them. If people want him alive, he’s alive to them.
And no one can say otherwise.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:56 am
“And no one can say otherwise.”
I see what you’re really after, here.
October 9th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Uh, okay? Sounds good.
October 9th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
no, no the Taniguchi says nothing of Lulu’s survival… he says he wont risk something.. come on.. think why…
Original post:
(regarding the interview)
The subject of Lelouch’s death/survival wasn’t touched upon.
In one of the captions, the director says:
“I won’t risk discussing what the epilogue meant.
I would be happy if the viewers would think for themselves.”
epilogue is talking about C.C, Suzaku,Kallen ect..but if you still think he is alive.. ok.. go ahead.. plus there is more too come about Lulu’s fate I hear.. there is another interview left..plus the guide book think that lists character deaths coming out next month.. and guess who is listed as dead?
October 9th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
LET HIM DIE IN PEACE.
October 9th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
BTW.. this is just an Editor writing this.. not the staff of code geass.. so its not Official confirmation.. but all the magazines are assuming/know Lulu is dead..all the ones that are out..

It’s just like in the ending of Code Geass. First two verses says he’s dead (we sow his death in anime) while 4th and 5th sugest something diffrent but doesn’t clearly says that (just like that guy who’s so lulu-alike with C.C. + C.C.’s speach)
Btw that paper bird in the end of anime also sugest he’s alive. Why? Bc C.C. doesn’t have any particular memories with it while for Lelouch is an very important thing from Nunnally, also he was always keeping it near himself
October 9th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Can’t a guy die without bunch of faggots trying to be all smartass over it? Let the dead man rest (o hay is dat u, Spike?)
Code Geass is over. FUCKING OVER. FOR EVER.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
REALLY ??
October 9th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Oh, please, not another Star Wars remake.
October 9th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
I wish an OVA would come out in the near future. I just … hope … ;_;
October 10th, 2008 at 1:54 am
I told you he was dead, Michael.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:17 am
So the director himself said it was up to the viewers to decide, as he doesn’t want to discuss the ending himself. Keep in mind that guide books listing people as dead isn’t even much proof, as the official website listed Nunnally as dead and she is obviously not so. So that means the people who want Lelouch dead can rest easy knowing he’s feeding worms. However, it also means the people who want Lelouch alive are free to do so as well.
I personally find it kind of amusing just how hostile people are getting about this.
It’s almost like people are taking it as a personal insult when someone interprets the ending differently than they do. It makes me wonder if a different opinion raped their puppy or something. I mean, seriously.
Oh no! Someone on the Internet has a different opinion than I do! As this is most serious business, and the Internet itself is the most serious of serious business, I am thus rightfully shocked and offended by this heinous turn of events!
I will proceed to write angry things about this person in my blog/livejournal/deadjournal/greatjournal/other online journal equivalent/website/email/offline journal/diary/letter to my senator so that others may learn of my extreme displeasure and take the appropriate action!
And then I’ll look for porn!

There is another interview by the writer that implies Lulu is dead..
and the think for themselves could mean.. “you should be able to figure out the ending by thinking”
the Guidebook will be out in a month, by the creators.. so we should wait until its out..
October 10th, 2008 at 10:30 am
By watching one would think he’s dead, by thinking one would come to the conclusion that he’s alive rather than dead.
“Figure it out” means thinking about it…
October 10th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Your tag was the exact same reaction I had when reading the title of the post.
The only thing worse would be finding out Nonette died in episode 23.
October 10th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Nonnette did die in episode 23.
October 11th, 2008 at 6:52 am
But apparently more people want him alive….. have you seen the 2ch boards? whoa.. its insane it 50/50 there too..
and the fact that he wont risk it? tells me he is too scared to say “yup he is dead, sorry”
he said the ending was up to interpretation, not epilogue
anyways you could be right too, Taniguichi will one day tell us hopefully straight out, he is not going to tell us the ending this early.. when it was made a little “ambiguous”
and I heard the producer recently said that Leolouch of the Rebellion is over, when he was asked about spin off/sequel.. but as for Code Geass who knows?
So Lulu’s story is over, but we could see a spin of with C.C or something maybe
October 11th, 2008 at 8:11 am
His rebellion is over, for sure. But maybe not for Code Geass as you said. But it doesn’t mean he won’t take part in an other stroy of Code geass then the rebellion.
October 11th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Clearly by, “released from this world” they mean, “have fun driving your cart.”

I scanned the pages on the interview from November issue of Newtype. Probably the main gist had been translated and discussed but still, for those who understand Japanese, is there anything interesting from the interview? Please share with us. Thanks.

That’s just magazine/novel/non-canon fluff.
If you really want to think he’s alive, that shouldn’t stop you at all.
BOB: Hmm…no comment.

@Michael O SHHHHI…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Thats fucking pathetic. Lelouch is alive, and u know it.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
My waifu and I are split into the two camps. She wants him to live as well. Me, I’d rather he die as I think he fulfills the tragic hero role beautifully.
Looking back at the compromises he’s made (Euphy and the 11s she massacred, Shirley, the Geass Cult murders), his death seems to me a symmetry.
It’s the culmination of his growth, far less selfish and destructive.
I don’t think enough people have paid attention to Suzaku’s ending. Lelouch’s death makes his becoming Zero poignant.
My waifu will have none of it. Happy end for Lelouch or none at all.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
I want my happy ending for Lelouch, because it will also include a happy ending for mah CC.
CC ;A;

All I know is, the writing staff who made R2 sucked.
There is a debate about this article on Wikipedia currently.
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:25 am
I am broken
Code Geass…
I really feel emo since it ended.
Im very depressed =O
I feel like dieing to an extent and if their is no r3 ill be crushed =[
It’s by far the best anime i’ve ever watched in my entire life, i’ve watched the ending several hundred times !
November 13th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Everyone knows that for a main/supporting character to die in Code Geass, you have to get killed by someone involved with the power of geass, ie; Mao was shot by CC, Lulu shot Euphy, Rolo shot Shirely, countless people commanded by lulu, ect
….That or killed by Suzaku…. those seem to be the only deaths that stick really…

people would find it hard typing even with two hands on the Eee PC but the point of having the device is to have a secondary notebook instead of lugging around a huge laptop. While the Eee PC may have all the basic laptop functions, and then some, it is still primarily for quick document editing, Internet browsing and chat. Nevertheless, there are still some advanced functions that it could do. One in particular is video editing. Using software such as SolveigMM AVI Trimmer and MPEG Streamclip, I was able to edit and convert videos on the Eee PC. However, there was a noticeable lag but it was not enough to cause concern. In fact, while I was splicing videos together, I was already uploading 大阪市 北区 賃貸 one of them to a media sharing site.

I don’t really gice a damn whether he’s dead or alive. Because He’s always Alive to me, god damn. Well, but if he’s ACTUALLY dead. Then just let him die/rest in peace, Minna des!

No one really GOT the very trick of the of the show…
Also, the creator…will never ever tell the truth!
…I don’t believe those official stuff why?…cause the story talks about LIES!
It’s not about how good or evil he had done , it’s about GEASS and its tricks!
Did anyone got an idea that Lelouch also casts his Geass to us?…ordering only to view his death!? …didn’t you all noticed that he already using his
Geass in the very beginning whenever you watched the opening song?
That is the reason why they made the concept of the story!
He made us believed that he truly died because of his GEASS!
For me, I really believed that he got Charles code because it’s too obvious! and it was located right on his neck!
Also, I never saw any right answer of what is the real name of C.C., it’s practically common sense, her real name is “CODE GEASS”…Lelouch: Kodo gias on episode 11
And, people have no choice but to admit that he’s alive or else, they themselves proved that they have been played by his Geass tricks…
