My friend krish , Lelouch dies as a hero in eyes of who who understood\knew about zero requiem and they were; Apart from Lelouch, Suzaku and C.C., only a few characters knew about the Zero Requiem before the plan was executed, they were Jeremiah Gottwald, Lloyd, Cecile, Nina and Sayoko! , and in eyes of world! and civilians he died as a demon! ahhhhh i hate this script ending to be honest atleast lelouch could've released all the hostages and destroyed the Damocles then suzaku would've eliminated him! OR something like this what i said, ending would be more awesome!!! and talk of resurrection he is resurrected in movie not in anime, there r just 2 seasons for codegeass anime...sad huh? ikr.
