I’m confused. Did he somehow survive getting gutted with a broad sword by Suzaku at the end of season 2, or is this just a stupid what if?

Oh, how I wish that was the truth. And perhaps that did happen, in some alternate universe far from Goro's iron grip... I hear those are called "fanfics".
If only most of them weren't written by illiterates... grumble grumble.
Basic spelling and grammar is hard apparently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Depends if you think that's him in the raw version. If it was then I'm guessing that's where the anime offically, or initially, or at first, made the decision to deviate from the manga. Making it it's own canon.
Deviate from the manga.
Deviate
from the manga.
Deviate from the [EXPLETIVE DELETED] manga.
CODE GEASS IS AN ANIME-ORIGINAL SERIES. The manga was only made AFTER IT, and is in fact NON-CANON. For the love of Aurora, do your research, people.
Lelouch is dead, Lelouch ist tot, Rurūshu wa shinde iru. Re;surrection is released in four days. Just be patient, and we will see how his resurrection is pulled off.
The LotR manga is a "parallel world" to the original anime, just as the movie trilogy, Re;surrection, and light novels are.

Lelouch is totally dead.
- He's dead because the anime makes it impossible for him to have a code as that would have violated the rules established by the anime itself.
- He's dead because ALL official statements by show staff have confirmed that. They've been repeating that for 10 years. In 2009 they even changed the epilogue to make that clear. In the new epilogue C.C. directly addresses the audience and explicitly says (twice) that he's dead and that she mourns his death.
- He's dead because code theory has been proven wrong years ago, every single point has been debunked and it has been shows that ezvery "clue" was just a misrepresentation of what really happened in that scene. Even the show staff have explicitly denied core points of code theory, for example Nunnally sees NO visions or memories, codes do NOT need to be activated.
Anyone who wants to read ALL the official statements, including links, sources and pictures, and who wants to see how and where the anime itself contradicts code theory can read it in the Code Geass Community Information Database: reddit.com/user/GeassedbyLelouch/comments/8hklfr/evaluating_code_theory_main_body_index
(can I just point out that, at the part with the Code+Geass theory, GeassedbyLelouch outright tries to *skip* it, instead going on some confusing ramble with an overthought "comparison scenario"? It's possible that a Geass is connected to a Code, but a Code user cannot give themselves a Geass. However, if their Geass was to be connected to a *different* Code...
But yes, at this point I'm favoring the Renya "Unqualified" theory, all credits to I, me and myself for creating it, instead of that one. Even though we all know Lelouch is dead as a dodo because Word of God says so.
The word of the same God who earlier claimed he had always envisioned Lelouch's story to end in death, and is now completely revoking it.)

If there had been possibilities to keep the geass after getting the code, the anime would have hinted at that in some form. But it didn't. Not a single line of dialogue, not a single scene ever suggested, not even vaguely, that such a thing is at all possible. Fans creating additional rules about how things work is not canon, it is headcanon. People could just as well argue that Lelouch is allowed to keep his geass when getting a code because he got the code on a thursday afternoon and then the normal rules don't apply. That "idea" has just as much basis in the anime as the idea proposed by code theory: i.e. none at all.
The anime shows us it's impossible for Lelouch to have a code and this was confirmed by show staff when they over and over and over again repeated that Lelouch is dead, and that his death was essential for them.
Shout out to Francis for referencing Renya and the unexplored/disregarded info that gives.
