Well, just for starters, been goin to this website for years, never really signed up though, laziness:(
Anyways, I've been loving Code Geass since the first episode of season 1!
Now, I know I've got no proof, but I figured that Lelouch would end up dying, and I believe it was by his own choice. I was right:(
Now onto the point I wanted to get to, as we've all seen, the world of C.C. operates by laws completely different from well, our's/Lelouch's world. Lelouch gained the full power of the King, and "banished"(because to say he killed would be incorrect) Charles. Now I've read a lot of people claiming it's impossible for him to have Charles's code, but I think we've all forgotten about how the world of C.C. operates. Who is to say that the old "God's", in an act of appreciation, bestowed Lelouch with Charles's/V.V.'s code, after all, they did do something that everyone was lead to believe impossible to do. Or, on a completely radical idea, they could have given him his own code.
Do I believe Lelouch is alive? It is possible. After all, we do not know exactly 100% how the process of code transference works. It does appear that in order for the code to be activated, the person does need to die, and the previous holder of the code also needs to die as well, though that could just be that they want to die, and also because we've only seen the transfer of the code twice where both previous holders died. But unless the creators tell how it works, no one can claim to know how the process goes about 100%. Lelouch could be alive, he could have had Charles/V.V.'s code, or his own code.
If he's alive, does this ruin probably one of the BEST endings in any anime ever(in my opinion that is), somewhat yes, because his death is one the most unexpected, dramatic, and honestly, extremely touching! For those of us who've watched it, no one knew exactly what Lelouch was planning, we all knew what he wanted to do.
The truth is though, Lelouch will always be remembered as an evil selfish person. And honestly, it must remain that way, or else the peace the world is going towards may shatter.

Think about it, if lelouch wasn't the guy dricing the cart, then why the fuck would C.C. go hitchhiking with some random ass person? :o
If she's hitch hiking, than of course it's going to be "some random ass person"... It's hitch hiking man.
