There. The only indirect indication of Xingke. My guess was that Sunrise was originally hoping to actually go ahead and kill off Xingke with his Character-Nerf-iritis, but stopped to keep the fangirls happy. So instead they quietly sift him out of the ending montage, but they keep it ambiguous enough so that the fangirls don't rage.

Oh shit, I just noticed who is in the picture.

NANI, MAI HANNI?

I know! It took me a while to realize it too. It's like Sunrise said "Okay every character get in the picture. What? No, Xingke, you can't come. We have to make it look like you died of plot aids. MAI HANNI girl, you're not in the picture yet! Hurry up and get next to Rivalz and I dunno, do the same pose as him or something."

NANI MAI HANNI is way more important than Xing-Qe. Fuck that Chinese loli-seeking excuse for a bishie.

Edit: Did they mention what happened to Sayoko? I thought she was going to end up with Orange-kun, but she was nowhere during the finale. That ninja maid was one of the few characters who won my admiration in this programme. :(

Awesome ending was awesome. however, I was interested more about geass, its past and that the crap was C.C real name! if they said it, then I totally missed it somewhere.

Orange isn't in the picture either, but Anya is.
They're probably both at the Orange Farm, enjoying the time alone.

The only thing that made sense with this ending was Nunnaly getting owned by the stairs, everything else was like "WTF?!"...

Maybe except Lelouch having a plan that involved taking over the world and dying...
He never was smart... Intelligent but not smart...

This show might just have lowered my standards, because I thought that ending was good. Not "lolwut" good like much of the rest of the show, but actually good. And I usually find the "hero sacrificing himself for the ultimate good of blah blah fucking blah" painfully cheesy. *shrug*

This show was upsetting. I mean really dissapointing in every way. R1 had such promise! R2 didn't even have a high production value! What happened?!
