Zero Lelouch seems to follow the belief of "the ends justifying the means" and is willing to commit evil to destroy another evil. He does not appear to care who knows it, as he publicly declares that belief. Zero is shown to have little concern for innocent lives, shown when he mentions to Kallen about how innocent lives would have to be sacrificed. In the end, Zero states that his primary goal is achieving his own concept of justice and, in doing so, he is willing to do anything to achieve that justice.
At first glance, Zero seems to have little concern for the lives of his subordinates. However, this is presumably a ruse as "all are pawns for Zero". From the beginning, Zero was considered to be Britannia's sworn enemy and was indefinitely branded as a terrorist. Thus, as he killed many Britannian soldiers, this would also lead him to be hated by many Britannian citizens. As the Zero Requiem was completed, everyone in the world, including the people of Britannia, began to cheer for Zero's miraculous return; this later completely changes Zero's image from a symbol of terrorism to a representation of politics and peace.
The Zero costume consists of a tight dark purple suit changed to a light purple in R2 with golden stripes, long wrapped sleeves, and a frilled white cravat. The outfit combines Victorian fashion with that of a sleek bodysuit; worn over it is a black and gold cloak with crimson spandex lining the inside and an enormous black cape encircling the head. Its immediately recognizable feature is a spiky black and indigo mask with a long variation of the Geass Sigil stretched over its bottom, completely hiding the wearer's face; the mask appears opaque from the outside but is actually transparent from the inside.
By unknown means, a small part of the mask can be signaled to slide down, exposing the wearer's left eye; this feature was designed by Lelouch to let him use his Geass without revealing his face. In this version, the Zero outfit is heavily armored and is manifested from Lelouch's Geass. The mask lacks the four spikes at the edges. He fights at the level of a Knightmare frame as well as any skilled pilots such as Kallen and Suzaku from his armour and cape.
The ability of Lelouch's armour functions almost the same as a Knightmare Frame; for instance, his cape can create multiple sharp black whips similar to the Mark Nemo's Blonde Knives.
In truth, there are many benefits to this twist, but also many reasons why the new addition to the Code Geass universe should have taken a different approach. Fans had theorized for years that Lelouch was alive and based those theories around C. It was unclear if she was addressing him directly or simply talking to him the same way some people talk to lost loved ones.
That dissection of the scene showed the strength that the series had and how it had trained its fans to always expect a clever trick from its protagonist. But the creator insisted from the outset of the series that Lelouch dying was the endgame , something foretold in many of Lelouch's own words. Bringing him back to life, while satisfying for a long-time fan, feels like it cheapens the high-stakes world that Ichiro Okouchi built. To give the creators credit, the three recap films that preceded Lelouch of the Re;surrection had been building up to it.
Fans are finally given their answer and learn that Lelouch did die with no intent to survive--but they do so only for C. One of the most exciting moments in for anime was the release of the trailer for the new Code Geass installment, heavily featuring Lelouch on screen. Fans had already gotten a taste of that feeling before when Akito the Exiled premiered. Many viewers tried to decipher where it took place and if this confirmed that Lelouch was alive after the end of the original series.
Unfortunately, the footage in the original trailer was never used, which didn't sit well with some viewers. Leaving aside Lelouch's desire to take down his father and avenge his mother, the story of Code Geass always rotated around the conflict between Lelouch and his best friend turned enemy, Suzaku Kururugi. The enmity between the two--forged after Lelouch kills Suzaku's main love interest Euphemia--has made many fans unjustly despise Suzaku.
He pilots the knightmare frame Lancelot against Lelouch's Black Knights and even kills Lelouch in the end, but his actions are understandable. In any case, whether viewers like him or not, the fact remains that Suzaku is an essential part of Code Geass. In Lelouch of the Re;surrection , that just doesn't show. He has some good moments, but he's mostly a shadow of what he used to be. His strong connection with Lelouch vanishes, to the detriment of both characters.
The movie may have done a lot of damage to Suzaku's character, but it does add a few welcome moments of interaction between Suzaku and Lelouch. Suzaku's reunion with Lelouch packs a bigger punch than most of the scenes in the movie— literally. Suzaku's outburst at seeing his friend alive is far more believable and emotional than the other characters' reaction to Lelouch's resurrection. The two friends reconcile, in their own way, which brings a form of painful closure to their arc.
Having acknowledged the fact that some people may not be on board with Lelouch's resurrection, the team behind Code Geass released three films that created an alternate universe. Dubbed Initiation , Transgression, and Glorification , the movies changed key events throughout the series without ruining the major plot points.
Lelouch still has himself assassinated, but the key to saving Lelouch turns out to be Shirley losing her complex storyline. To make matters worse, Shirley barely shows up in the sequel movie, which makes her previous involvement seem unnecessary. In the finale of Code Geass, Lelouch chooses to draw all the world's hatred upon himself. This way, everyone else can get a second chance, one that will allow them to move forward while leaving behind warmongering. As Nina rolls the Ganymede into a certain area, Lloyd phones in on her and asks if she is testing her theory; she says that she didn't have time to test it, but will try to make the Ganymede explode.
Milly tries to stop her, but Cecile gets in the way, as Lloyd announces that if Nina is correct, the Ganymede's sakuradite fuel will cause it to obliterate the entire Tokyo Settlement. Nina then holds up the activation switch and screams at the top of her lungs for someone to tell her where Zero is, intending to catch him in the blast.
At the same time, Zero incorrectly muses that if Nunnally dies, the entire purpose of the war is gone, just as Kamine Island comes in sight; it is then revealed that V. As the Gawain comes across the entrance, C. Zero muses over the fact that there are more such places, and the fact she doesn't know whether or not Nunnally's kidnapper has a Geass power.
Just then, as Kallen heads for the island, a psychic booby trap suddenly ignites, trapping Zero and C. When the dust clears in their minds, Lelouch asks C. She confirms it, going on to say that she is a witch whose memories are constantly fluctuating, to the point where she sometimes forgets people that loved her or the fact she is human, concluding she is lonely. However, Lelouch says that she has him, and that if she is a witch, then he is a warlock.
As the illusion ends, Jeremiah appears, and they have to fight him. He hits a part of the Gawain previously damaged by Cornelia, and C. She tells him that he has to prevail and make up for the fact that the Black Rebellion will inevitably fail because he left, then, caught up in his warlock comment from before, kisses him goodbye, much to his shock. As she drops him back on the island, C. Just as C. Eventually, all of the Black Knights are left in utter despair as Guilford leads the final charge to victory.
As all this happens, C. All Lelouch wanted was happiness of his own, like any ordinary person. However, people's versions of happiness inevitably conflict with each other all the time, and that those in power will always suppress another person's ideas regardless of whether or not they're right. In the end, it was Lelouch's past that caused the Rebellion's downfall, but C. She is then crushed to bloody bits by the water pressure along with Jeremiah, but floats to the surface and is reassembled thanks to her immortality this part is not shown, as it was too graphic and therefore cut out.
Zero arrives at the Thought Elevator wall, realizing the booby trap was merely a diversion. He prepares to touch the wall and get Nunnally, but just then a bullet whizzes by his head and hits the wall.
Suzaku comes out from behind the shadows and tells Zero to turn and face him. Doing so, Zero questions why he would be fighting for Euphemia after all the carnage she caused. Instead, Suzaku reveals that he knows of his Geass power, and claims he intentionally caused the Zone massacre.
He then says that Zero is merely an arrogant coward, yet even that might not even be his true nature. He then reveals he knows Kallen is right behind him trying to shoot him, and asks if she wants to see Zero's true face when she has a right.
Kallen protests, but Suzaku shoots Zero's mask, causing it to split in half, revealing Lelouch's identity while also grazing the top of his head. Kallen, overwhelmed with shock, falls to her knees, but Suzaku merely shakes his head. Left with no choice, Lelouch confesses that he is Zero. Kallen then asks if he had been using them the entire time, and Lelouch, not denying it, says that his actions will save Japan , so she shouldn't mind; Kallen, however, begins weeping.
Suzaku then muses he should have questioned Lelouch long ago, having suspected him but refusing to believe himself. He then berates Lelouch and claims that Lelouch was lying to everyone; ignoring the subject, Lelouch reveals that Nunnally has been kidnapped.
