No, if he got his Code from his father, then he shouldn't have been able to use his Geass after. But he did use it as an emperor, a lot of times.

So he simply got his Code from C.C just before the final episode.

This Code allowed Lelouch to be reborn after he was stabbed by Suzaku, like how Lelouch's FATHER WAS REBORN the first time Lelouch thought he killed him.

So yeah, the Code allows to survive to such a stabbing.

One proof that he had the Code when he died is when Nanaly received Lelouch's memories when she touched him at the end, explaining her everything, with THE SAME GRAPHIC EFFECT as when people touched C.C.

An interesting thing, since Lelouch had a Code, I wonder if Suzaku actually made a contract with Lelouch when he "killed" him, and which form would take Suzaku's Geass...

And to all those who believe Lelouch is dead, just because the anime creators said it, I will make you remember that if there is one thing Code Geass should have taught you, it is :

A NAME IS JUST A NAME. LELOUCH IS A NAME. LELOUCH DIED WHEN SUZAKU STABBED HIM, but he was REBORN thanks to his CODE (it's even in the TITLE ! CODE Geass ! Would you deny even the importance of that ???), allowing him to continue living a never-ending-life to repent for his sins, and he had to abandon his name for it.

Like when he changed "Di Britannia" in "Lamperouge", to live as a student, or when he created "Zero", as a symbol-name.

The only ones who think that "Lelouch" is really dead are brainless fanboys who want the anime to end the way they poorly understood it.

Oh, and another interesting thing about the ending : we don't see the cart driver's face (keeping aside all the fake videos).

It's EXPLICITLY HIDDEN from our eyes. Is there ANY character in Code Geass that got his face and hairs hidden from us ?

No there is not, so this cart driver IS "Lelouch". Or there would be no point in naming this anime CODE Geass at all.
