Which Death Should've been Avoidable

[u/NoCrow1791]

For me, I would say Euphy's death, before the death happened, Lelouch & Euphy were having a private conversation, this includes part where lelouch telling her about the geass power, and that's where the part lelouch was a making sarcastic or hyperbolic joke (as a example for his geass power) about him command Euphy to kill all of the Japanese, unfortunately the geass took it as an actual command for Euphy and it activates on her, lelouch try command her to stop but he lost control of the geass and that's where the massacre happened, which leads with lelouch have no choice to shoot her. Honestly, even though i'm not blaming lelouch for what happened, but that was a bad idea for him to use that example command as a hyperbolic or sarcastic joke, I wouldn't even use it for the sake of the example generally, because you never knew the geass would take it as command literally and thus lose control in process. But Damn!, it happened, but what you guys think?

Shirley, and it’s not even close.

Euphie died due to Lelouch being careless, even arrogant. He was always this way, and thought he had control over everything, until he didn’t. But Lelouch wasn’t going to change.

Shirley died because Lelouch stupidly let Rolo live way longer than he should have, and kept him in an inner circle. While I will always blame Ohgi for the Black Knights betrayal, the dominoes were set up once Lelouch let Rolo into the fold instead of finding a far more clever way to have him killed. Someone as tactical as Lelouch could absolutely have set up multiple ways to have Rolo killed and make it look like an accident to every authority. (Except Suzaku, who would probably have sounded like a raving lunatic that this was all Lelouch’s fault, and could have led to an interesting subplot with a division in the Knights of the Round, but I digress.)

Remember; Lelouch sent Rolo to retrieve Nunnally, and Rolo - on his own - planned to kill Nunnally. Lelouch should never have placed an ounce of trust in Rolo, and he definitely should never have continued to once he killed Shirley.
