Spoiler tags might have been nice. Although it had to happen eventually, I didn't want to think it could.
I'm in the "he lives" camp. And don't you dare give me the Word of God excuse for him being dead. God also told us Nunnally kicked the bucket simply to add to the shock value. Lelouch is more than capable of returning. He has the excuse (his father's code) and the sequel hook ("Right, Lelouch?"). All he needs is a reason to come back, and that's the developers' job next time around. Nunnally had a far weaker case, yet she survived. Mao got riddled with bullets, yet he survived. Jeremiah came back so many times simply because the fans wanted him to, it's not funny. His dead mother turned out to be alive only for Loulou to kill her all over again. Lelouch could easily pull through.
LELOUCH IS ****ING DEAD! WHY WOULD HE BE ALIVE!? THAT WOULD CONTRADICT EVERYTHING! MAO GOT RIDDEN WITH BULLETS AND DIDN'T DIE BECAUSE LELOUCH DID NOT GIVE THE COMMAND FOR HIM TO DIE! LELOUCH IS FREAKING DEAD! C.C WAS TALKING TO HIM FROM THE WORLD OF C LIKE SHE DID WITH MARIANNE R2 WAS A HORRIBLE SEASON bbbbbb
