Hey, Suzaku, don't you think geass is similar to wish?

When reading the end of Hamlet, one of the big confusions is what beliefs the protagonist will live by if he doesn't die. Rebel Lelouch gave the most romantic answer I've ever seen.

Geass's setting is twisted and romantic. The user of geass possesses the vile power that absolutely distorts the will of others. If the meaning of geass only stops there, it is only the fantasy of the second animation. But in the end, Lelouch personally sublimated the aspect of geass as a "wish": seeking others for things that cannot be achieved by oneself. Geass is not a command, nor a victory or defeat, but a wish. "Using the geass called hope to the world", does Lelouch, who died with this ideal, really feel that he is a tragic hero who bears everything and is lonely? Lelouch's last smile said it all.

Lulu's revised animation repeatedly emphasizes destruction and regeneration, from the protagonist to the world. In my opinion, Lelouch's resurrection is not a chauffeur party, nor is it a theatrical version (Da Hanoi did not take medicine). Lelouch's rebirth as early as when Ragnarok confronted the world of c. Lelouch, who thought he lost his sister, went beyond personal revenge and chose the "future". Not only for Nanali, but also for her own ideals to open up the future of mankind. Since then, Lu Luxiu no longer uses revenge and Nanali as an excuse, and finally understands himself and embarks on the road of heroes. It is precisely because of this that Lu Luxiu, who no longer doubts himself in the later period, ironically no longer limits the degree to which geass can distort people's hearts, and uses orders of absolute obedience without restrictions (even this ruthless Lu Luxiu is unwilling to use geass to change his sister. will). The vengeful common man is reborn as the romantic and aloof makeover. Of course, the Demon King in this worldly sense finally got the death penalty. But far above the personal life and morality, Lu Luxiu, who has been reborn long ago, opened up the future at the moment he established the zero town, and the future is entrusted to Suzaku and everyone who received the geass named "Hope" . (As for Zero Town's means of gathering hatred, be a little more tolerant and consider it a beautiful fantasy of animation)

ps. Personally, I really like Suzaku. One of the charms of Suzaku lies in its extraordinary spiritual power. From killing his father to becoming zero, Suzaku has always (although sometimes super stupid/awkward) implemented his beliefs, has been thinking about growth, and actively pursued the future. After all, it is the protagonist who desires the future in Lulu Xiu. Suzaku gave up on Shi Xia to live on geass that time. After all, Lu Luxiu was caught by the old man, and he was questioned whether he was loyal to Japan by killing his father, and whether he had distorted the peace and collapsed to the point of giving up everything and obeying military orders. This geass is really subtle, not only for Nanali's happiness, but also for Lu Luxiu's respect and understanding of Suzaku's will, and it also stimulates Suzaku's thinking and growth.
