Out of curiousty, why do people believe he's alive? Because C.C. said his name at the end like she did with Marianne? Marianne had a Geass that specifically allowed her to "live" on after death, Lelouch did not... or am I missing the real reason? There is one way ... Lelouch could have gotten hold of C.C's code, prior to the execution of Zero Requiem. This way, he will be able to fullfill the promise he made to her, i.e. to let her die.

It could be that he will hide his identity, untill all people that he know of die, like C.C., Suzaku, all members of royal family, UFN, Black Knights, his friends at Ashford Academy, and of course Nunnally. It can be said that when C.C. said to herself that whether Lelouch understand the price of the Geass he is casting prior to his execution, the price could be living on and see the world prosper without holding the credit for doing so. And above all, watching his loved ones, specially Nunnally age and die, and not being able to see or meet them. This would be because C.C. and Lelouch would have realised that the sacrifice of his own death would not be enough to change the world; that sometime in the future, he'll have to rise again, biding his time. "The Messiah rises again", or whatever the excuse, a good R three can be made.

This is my opinion ..... just a possibility. Personally, I prefer the end i.e. Lelouch is really dead, but if the story can continue this way without spoiling itself, it'd be great. Let's hope.

All Hail Lelouch .... :D
