If Lelouch is still alive after the Zero Requiem (which he probably is because of the appearance of the third season)
We know now that there won't be a third season, the announced new project is a movie which is part of the alternate universe which was created by the trilogy which were released during the past year.
As
As for lelouchLelouch being alive in that movie, yes that is true. However, however we musn'tmustn't forget the context of this. Lelouch was officially confirmed dead by the show staff, and that's why the name of the sequel is "Lelouch of the Resurrection", because he will be resurrected from the grave.
So to answer your question about C.C.:
- In the original series, she's alive and mourning Lelouch's death, but she comforts herself knowing that Lelouch has died achievingto achieve his goals, the Zero Requiem. This can be seen in the remade epilogue from 2009.
- In the new and alternate universe, she's alive and mourning Lelouch's death, BUT it seems she is not willing to accept his fate and will resurrect him. How exactly she will do that we'll knowwill be known once the movie is released in Japanese theaters in February 2019.
In case you're wondering about Lelouch being dead, this has been officially confirmed many times by the show creators, but not many English speaking fans seem to know that because these interviews, the official guide bookguidebook, the live commentaries, etc were all in Japanese. There's a post on redditReddit which has gathered all the official statements and translated them, all with links, sources, and pictures. That post also shows that the anime itself contradicts code theory, it's impossible for Lelouch to have the code. Going into detail here is too far removed from your question, if you're interested you can read the redditReddit post.
I will, however, give 1 example of the official statements where they confirm Lelouch to be dead: the tweets by the show staff.
- "Before I started writing the story of a person called Lelouch, I confirmed with Taniguchi-director something. That thing was that the end of Lelouch will be death."
- "At least he is aware of his sins and pays for them with his death."
- "This man called Lelouch will pay for his sins by his death. The story follows him till he finally make this decision."
- "Probably this Lelouch we see in the first episode of the series wouldn't choose death. He would try something to avoid it. He couldn't die, for Nunnally as well. But we see him changed in the last episode."
