LOL. I won't bash. I loved your post. Except so many 'see above', lol. This was the argument I seeked earlier and did not get. I said it before, you are free to choose the end that fits yourself, and your arguments are great Buff.

While I still think he dies, I find plausible your theory on how he got the code from Charles, without he knowning, without Suzaku knowing and certainly CC not knowing. Also, activating it by death is also plausible. Only defect, or counterargument, I can give to this would be... wouldn't he come back to live in Nunnally's arms? Would she dare hide him? Charles came back immediately following this theory... which in turn will help understand the blood on CC, which I believe was also hers, and not just the sisters. Even with my counterargument, this is the best theory out there... and you explained it in a way that you can even convince me.... save the defect I mentioned of course.

I think Charles and Marianned said they needed both codes to start it... but that is something for another day indeed. Whatever was needed, VV died (yeahz!)

Going for the theory he survived... Lelouch needs to over seclude himself... or the world would be sent to chaos. Okay I just laughed... imagine Lelouch being found because CC ordered Pizza and the delivery boy saw him... that would be idioticly awesome... XD

Either way... I loved that Kallen was the one that told us, the viewers, what went on those months. Too bad Gino and Schneizel are alive.

PS: Whacha think about the Orange?

PS2: I just pre-ordered my Bunny Kallen
