I’m still a bit lost and confused, but I know one thing true: Code Geass is genius. Lelouch vi Britannia is one of the most amazing characters I’ve ever seen in anime. He equals Light Yagami in my heart. ♥
The final turn had me crying for almost thirty minutes there, and, well, I haven’t cried that much in a long time. Or over the ending of an anime. (Had to keep the tears when Light Yagami died in Death Note [but I still cried!], because my sister was watching with me and I feel kind of stupid crying when someone can see and it’s over anime.)
In the beginning I seriously wanted to bitchslap Nunnally. The girl is absolutely annoying; she was just there being her fragile, naïve self and she made things a whole lot more difficult for her brother. I didn’t appreciate her speech, and I was just too happy when Lelouch finally used his Geass on her.
Can I just say that Suzaku’s fake death had me stomping my feet on the floor? He died at such a crucial time, the bastard. But, I loved the face-off between him and Kallen, and I swear I was rooting for him and his Lancelot Albion.
C.C. was crying for Lelouch, ah, that surprised me, and made me think of how much she’s more of a human being now, after her contract with him.
For most part I wanted to strangle Lelouch for pulling off something as crazy as… being killed by Suzaku, who turned out to be alive. He could have just continued being the emperor – uh, dictator! – of the whole world and no one could have done anything about it! I (and the rest of everyone who adores him) wouldn’t have minded him as the world dictator! Well maybe we would have… but that’s not the point! That final, selfless act made him an even more interesting and delightful character to watch. Dammit, can anyone else be more endearing?
The ending was wonderful – one of the finest – all right, the finest I've ever seen.
What I like most about the conclusion is that it’s pretty vague. In the last scene we see C.C. traveling on a farmer’s cart, driven by n nameless, disguised person. A lot of people, as I’ve read so far, are convinced that this person is Lelouch, who is now immortal.
I’ve decided to consider this theory myself, and I’ve drawn several points from the previous episodes to corroborate this.
1. The Code is the power of immortality. C.C. acquired it when it was transferred to her by the nun who granted her the Geass when she was younger. Emperor Charles got his own Code from V.V.
2. The Code is only activated when its receiver dies. Once acquired, the Code vanquishes the Geass of the receiver, but makes the receiver immortal and a contractor of the Geass instead. This is shown when C.C. is killed by the nun after said nun transfers the Code to her. C.C. lives on, but is no longer in possession of the Geass.
Likewise, V.V.’s Code was transferred to Charles and was activated when Charles shot himself (as commanded by Lelouch) in the twenty-first turn of R2.
3. Charles’ Code was transferred to Lelouch (who by this time had a fully evolved Geass, which is required to acquire the Code) while the Emperor was strangling him in the twenty-first turn of R2. This transferred Code is inactivated.
Proof of the transfer of ownership is that the Geass of the emperor still works on Anya and Nunnally after he dies. When the Code is lost, the Geass vanishes with it. But since Lelouch is now in possession of the Code, the Geass still works on Anya and Nunnally.
4. Lelouch maintains his ownership of the Geass for two possible reasons:
One is because he did not get the Code and the Geass from the same contractor. The Code came from Charles, while the Geass came from C.C.
Two is because the Geass remains with the person as long as his Code is inactivated.

It’s actually a very interesting theory, since it also highlights the title of the series: Code Geass. Lelouch was able to possess the Code and the Geass at the same time. It’s very convincing and logical, considering it’s Lelouch who pulls it off and outsmarts the whole world yet again.
Following this, Lelouch must be the one who drives the cart in the last scene of the final turn. He’s now immortal and travels alongside C.C. in the same world that he had destroyed and created.
“The power of kings, known as Geass, brings one solitude.
Not quite accurate is it? Right, Lelouch?”
Lelouch♥C.C. to the very end.
All hail Lelouch. Code Geass is genius.

Sorry if I didn't comment on the other R2 episodes. :) I really wanted to finish it, badly. Ha. The last five episodes went sooo slow but when I finally reached the final turn, I said, "25 already?!" Hahaha.
I'll just comment at the last part. :)
I certainly agree! Code Geass is genius. I was really at the point of thinking that Lelouch has gone too far and I was really confuse why all of a sudden Suzaku became Lelouch's knight. In the end, friends are still friends, huh? But, Lelouch never fails to surprise me. He's a good actor, I must say. This episode made me "Huh?" "What?!" "Uhhh". I can never find words that exist in the dictionary that can explain it.:p This is just too awesome. I even have to scream with a pillow covering my mouth, "Awesome!Awesome!" Never have I seen an anime before that is so hard to explain. Its too brainy and mixed. It never really entered to my mind that Lelouch would sacrifice. Though from the past episodes, it was obvious that he prepares his plans very early. He's just so clever.
Ha, seeing the ending as if I never heard it. :) Well, I kinda know that Suzaku will kill him, but not in that way. Lelouch since that beginning till the end was absolutely amazing. :)
And I would like to consider your theory.:) I do hope that it was Lelouch back there. :)
