There is no such thing as an "original Japanese ending" or "director's cut" in reality. All of those are simply fan inventions.

There are just a bunch of fake Youtube videos that anyone with video editing skills could produce, full of signs indicating they're false.

If you want to believe Lelouch is alive, that's completely alright, but don't believe in fake videos. That's not only wrong but unnecessary.
