Is Lelouch alive?

[BakaForLife]

always figured this was one of those open-ended anime, after what has happened to some of the other characters (their own miraculous survival) i don't see how its so impossible for someone with his Geass to "somehow" survive his wound

[abevanc]

Well, I believe he is still alive, actually I would rather see how the heck can that Cornelia's knight still be alive O.o, ?

I mean he got a some kind of nuclear blast with almost no way to avoid it xD

So if a minor character can get through a nuclear blast, i believe a main character can get through a blade stuck on his stomach LOL

oh, btw that Knight of the the 12 , Monica she didn't die either, I swim my way through and save her, too bad she lost her memory though, so I will marry her while she had no recollection of her being knight, wow I'm so evil lol

you're a freak xD!!!

well, Lelouch have to be dead, otherwise there'd be a 3rd Season ;D
(don't ask me what they'd show there xD)

Actually he's still alive why? these are the reasons...

The most obvious reason would be CC calling to Lelouch in the closing scene of the episode. As we can assume CC to be still sane, she must be talking to someone, and that someone would most probably be the driver of the cart: Lelouch would have to be alive.

Second, however, and this is where the others have thought things through, Lelouch is alive because he got his dad’s code. He beckoned the World of C to lend him its powers, and he took Charles’s code before Charles passed on. The reason why Lelouch still has his Geass is because he didn’t take the Code from the same person who gave him his Geass: he took his Geass from CC, and he took his Code from Charles. Thus, he now possesses both immortality and a Geass. This is also a reason that the title is Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.

To further corroborate this, however, remember that when Nunnally held Lelouch’s hand he transferred his memories to her. CC also did it when Lelouch touched her accidentally back then, so it could be assumed that people with Codes are indeliberate telepaths. This leaves us with both immortals traversing the world for the rest of eternity.

Additional evidence:

1. Charles grabbed Lelouch with his right hand, which had the Geass sigil.
2. Lelouch needed the fully evolved Geass to transfer a code.
3. The code doesn’t appear to activate until someone dies. Hence, why C.C. was wounded when she first inherited her code. Same happened with Charles in the World of C.
4. When Lelouch touched Nunnally, Nunnally got a flash of his memories. This ONLY happens when a high potential Geass user touches someone with the fully evolved Geass.
5. The title of the series is “R2″, which is similar to how “C.C” is pronounced. So Lelouch would be “R.R.” which is Engrish (I presume) for L.L., Lelouch Lamprouge.
6. When C.C. is talking on the wagon, she says “the power of Geass brings loneliness…that’s not quite right is it, Lelouch?” and nods her head in the direction of the wagon driver.

More evidence:
Orange knew of Lelouche’s and Suzaku’s plan and helped them out by ordering his men not to fire on Zero, he even smiled when Zerozaku jumped on his shoulder.

Now would Orange, a man who devoted himself entirely to Lelouche and threw away everything without a second thought be OK with a plan where the sole person he wants to protect in life is actually killed? The answer to that is NO, not even if Lelouche ordered him to accept the plan: he would not go along with it and would protect him with his life. There is only one way that Orange would be OK with a plan like that and thats if he knew about Lelouche’s immortality, which I assume he did as he worked with V.V. in the Geass research base. Orange was OK with this plan as he knew Lelouche would come to no harm and would be able to start a new peaceful life with the woman he loves in a world which he himself had made peaceful.

Even at the end, we see Orange on his orange plantation, completely content with the way things have panned out, he definitely could not be that happy had Lelouche actually died.

There it is, firm evidence of Lelouche’s immortality if the scene with C.C. and the cart driver wasn’t painfully obvious enough.

I have to show my support again....i reckon he is alive even thought did look like he got wasted....I mean he's to smart and bad ass to die....also they didn't show a funeral....or like post a tv or radio broadcast in show...saying 'oh so n so is dead'...and like he just sort of passed out...its not like we got a confirmed kill.

Long live Lelouch

I have to believe he's dead. as much as a 3rd series might be great it would destroy the 2nd ones ending. If he somehow cheated death in front of the whole nation of brittania I don't think i could watch it anymore.

[SuperSaiyanSSJ3]

ah i suppose....the ending was really good like...so dramatic

why not watching it again if there is a 3rd series after cheating his death?
It would be great if there has another series!!!...

[Delinquent]

He's dead, the ending was to keep people talking. Good long post DA to try prove otherwise :)

Writer Ichirō Ōkouchi explains that his death was the price Lelouch needed to pay to create his better world. The writer also stated that he thinks of the ending as a happy one because there will be a better tomorrow for those left behind and that Lelouch would appreciate this. In addition, the name "Lelouch vi Britannia" is included in the magazine's final death list.

The writer as confirmed it on serveral occations.
