Talk:Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection/@comment-4583183-20181229032656/@comment-36317741-20181229053646

The movies are a separate canon from the tv-series. But saying that makes it sound too "different". The movies and anime barely differ from each other, just some minor stuff which didn't matter for the larger picture of the story. There is one big change, however, it's about a secondary character. But even that big change didn't affect the ending. Lelouch's fate is exactly the same in both the anime and the movies: totally dead, no code, no immortality.

The theory you're referring to isn't supported by the anime, it's not canon. The anime, in fact, even makes it impossible because it would have violated the established rules. And even the show staff have always officially confirmed that Lelouch is truly dead, so he couldn't have been the driver.
