The ending was fucking epic, probably the best ending for an anime I've seen in a while. I cried a bit, but I laughed too. Since, Lelouch first started talking about the Zero Requiem, I figured that something like that was going to happen. Even though a requiem is typically to celebrate the dead, being that Zero was kind of already dead, I figured it was going to be some sort of revival and that it would have something to do with dethroning Lelouch.
The epilogue, not so much what happened with the characters, but the whole set-up I kind of predicted. With shows like this, at the end, you can kind of expect from the beginning that there is going to be some time skip or something with a type of montage of how all the characters have moved forward with their lives in the "new world." Something along the lines of the style of Fullmetal Alchemist's ending. There are definitely a lot of possibilities for spin-offs, OVAs, and other continuations, but I'm not jumping to conclusions about anything just yet.
I really doubt that Lelouch died, but if he did, at least he got that one final embrace with Suzaku. I kind of got "Fabulous" vibe from the scene.

The unpredictable one maybe is
Everyone predicted that Nunnally is alive, but it's too obvious. Then we accept her death. But unpredictably Sunrise Revived her.
And I'm the one who accepted her death. :D
I never did, so I win. I was always saying proof or it didn't happen and everyone else was like, "But FLEIJA, big boom, no way she could survive." Even if I was wrong about my theories as to how she survived, I still win.

Final Turn: Re;
And so it ends. It will be missed until the inevitable day where I buy the rest of the DVDs.
Truly an awesome episode. It doesn't clear up absolutely everything, but it does what it can very nicely.
Jeremiah of the Orange Farm is apparently invincible! Seriously. But where is Ninja Sayoko in the epilogue? Did I miss her?
I will say that I'm in the "in denial" boat. Similar to how Suzaku 'died', I think Lelouch also 'died' thanks to a Code. That way, I can say that was a Spice and Wolf reference at the end.
Jeremiah of the Orange Farm is definitely going to be a fucking sequel, or a doujin(non-hentai mostly) at the very least.

Lelouch...
Am i the only one who isnt that sure about Lulu being dead?
I mean...
Just look at Cornellia, Guilford or Suzaku...
Just cause they "should" be dead, it doesnt has to be
So why does Lulu has to be dead? It was just a Sword :wink:
And who the hell is that Guy with CC at the end?
Why dont they show the face of that guy?
And then CC talking... to herself?
"The Power of Kings, called Geass, will make People lonely.
I suppose that wasnt quite true.
Right, Lelouch?"
And last:
Yeah, a crane...
In case you dont know:
"A crane is considered auspicious in China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam. It is one of the symbols of longevity and is often represented with other symbols of long life, ..."
In the end iam not sure if Lulu is dead. Most likely, jeah... But i wouldnt bet on it.
Precisely. Its barely noticeable and it could just be a wide line, but I think there is some hair in that shot, which is the same color as Lelouch's. Anyway, no one really dies in Code Geass, I bet Wakamoto and Marianne are still alive too, chilling in like the Carribean with V.V. sipping cognac and some shit.
The only reasons why I would agree that he's dead:
Just so we can all say "Take that Nunnally." Its not that I don't like
her, but its always funny to make innocent little kids cry.
In the series, everyone with Geass dies.
From what Lelouch said, "The only ones willing to shoot are the ones willing to be shot," I think that's how it went, it seems that he was prepared to die.
His death would be symbolic of the whole "Age of War" dying, since he made himself the face of the world's evils.

CG died not in a dying applause but with donkey diarrhea spewing all over its face.
Leave it to you to blow shit all over an incredible ending. Honestly, I loved the series through and through, even when everyone else was pissed, but the ending was truly epic.

CC always talks to people that aren't there though.
If Lulu has a Code, does that mean that it was passed from CC? Her code is gone now? I can't remember if she still had it during the end...
It's not like we would be able to tell anyway, since both CC and Lelouch's bangs cover their foreheads. I mean, how often have we seen CC's Code when her bangs
aren't flying all over the place?.
Besides, the sigil isn't always there. It appears when the powers are being used. It would be kind of weird walking around and seeing someone just chilling with something like that on their head.

~What all does Anya remember?
Most likely everything she already knows, as well as the shit that was manipulated with Geass. I don't know if it would have an effect on the memories that Charles rewrote, so I think she would have both the real and false ones.
~Cart guy = Lelouch?
Yes
~C.C. was talkin to Lelouch or asking questions to him like a Prayer. People do it.maybe she can even talk to people in the World of C who have had Geass?
I'm sure she was actually just kind of praying and thinking to herself. Since she did spend that time with the nun, I'm sure prayer has some significance to her.
~Does Nunally know who Zero is?
I doubt it. I'm sure she figures it out at some point.
~Does Suzaku sleep at night...? If he does he must wear that Mask or something cause I would break in to Zero's house to find out his identity when he's sleeping lol.
I would probably too, but I'm sure his room or wherever he lives is heavily guarded.
~Villetta x Ohgi's child... Boy or Girl?
It doesn't matter, on top of everything else, now Villetta's a MILF.
~Lol how the fuck did Suzaku jump over a Knightmare??? Dear God is he Super Human?
You're just figuring that out now.
~Orange-kun... he really knew the plan all along?
He had to be on it. He was one of the few in Lelouch's inner circle. So, even if he didn't exactly know what was going down, he knew what he needed to know.
~Poor Arthur he's gonna sit there and die lookin at Suzaku's Grave when it's just fake. Or will he find out that Zero = Suzaku?
He'll figure it out sooner or later, he's Arthur.

Cause I just busted out laughing when she was trying to chase lulu in her wheel chair.
I don't hate her, but I busted out laughing too. Anytime someone falls out of a wheelchair, its epic.
