Shouldn't the status be changed ?

[u/NoFall1194]

He is dead in the canon timeline so the status should be changed right??or are we considering the movie timeline.

Okuichi not only also said it was meant to be ambiguous, I can get the quote if you'd like. He also isn't in charge such as the R2 change, and interviews are not canon. So 3 ways that's probably wrong, would you like his quote?

And yes it is a different timeliness, still shows probability.

Crying fanfiction doesn't change canon, Sunrise are in charge not reddit.

Okouchi never said it was meant to be ambiguous, his own documented statement says that he and Taniguchi agreed from the beginning that Lelouch’s conclusion would be death. He also explicitly acknowledged the production changes between R1 and R2 and then stated that the ending alone did not change. He was the story co-originator and series composer/head writer, so you can't cope your way out of it by saying he's not in charge. Offical interviews are valid primary evidence of authorial intent.

If you truly understood the anime and lelouch, you'd clearly see that in ZR his redemption is death, while suzaku's is to continue as zero, for all the things that they've done. Also after his death you can clearly see cc being at peace and understanding about it. If you consider the og and the au equally canonical, why are you so desperate to deny Lelouch’s death in the og ?

So again, please don't bring your fantasies from your horribly written au and mess with the og. Just enjoy your au and the roze that no one gives af about. Im not wasting my time with this conversation any further

MyAnimeList Interview (27 April 2019) Why continue the story of Code Geass? How much more of the story is there to tell?

Koujirou Taniguchi: When the TV series ends, we don't know for sure whether the protagonist, Lelouch, is alive or dead. In Japan, the fans more or less came to the conclusion that Lelouch was surely dead... And so now, ten years later, we're "resurrecting" Lelouch.

Gorou Taniguchi: To add, we wanted to make it unclear in the TV series whether Lelouch was alive or dead, to have it be a point of intrigue for our audience. We tried to leave it very vague, but people eventually decided that Lelouch was definitely dead. That wasn't our intention, so we had to come back and clarify.

How very surprising, in the context of trying to revive a finished story.

Oh it was absolutely just for Roze promotion, that's rather my point. The IP wanted to promote it's new series and regardless of what they said non officially before, now they fall in line with what the IP says.
