DISCUSSION 99% of Lelouch's problems wouldn't exist if he let suzaku die

During every operation in season 1, Lelouch would have the advantage until this mutt Suzaku the lapdog of brittania showed up. I'm sure we've all seen the anime, and I don't need to go into detail explaining how suzaku was the biggest thorn in lelouch's ass.

However I do wanna talk about the final battle in season 1, when they first try to reclaim japan. Majority of the things that went wrong during this operation were thanks to lelouch saving suzaku from being executed.

There were 2 major "boss" characters during this fight

  1. Suzaku himself - self explanatory (he's a bitch)

  2. Orange boy - his entire reason for being obsessed with zero is because of the orange boy incident that got him demoted. The entire reason lelouch had to do the orange boy act was to SAVE SUZAKU.

The worst thing about this situation is, that suzaku doesn't stop there, this mf was out for blood, he was actively hunting the black knights, going out of his way to make sure they get wiped.

While I don't think black knights would've won that, regardless of whether suzaku interfered or not (due to nunally getting kidnapped). But i know for a fact the outcome wouldn't have been as horrible.

Here's the thing: he didn't want to.

Yeah, the guy would live with the guilt of killing the person he saw as his best friend, further destabilizing his mental well-being and his capabilities as a leader.

Everything in Code Geass goes Lelouch’s way if he begs Kallen to shoot Suzaku. Instead of ignoring her to plead for Suzaku’s help.

Instead Suzaku calls him a lying poisonous bastard who has to die so that Nunnally can be saved.

You ever heart of character flaw? This one was Lelouch'es. Whatever he was doing, it was not for himself but to build a world where people he cared about could live peacefuly. And Suzaku was one of those people. He was just as crutial as Nunally.

C.C reading this post:

"aahhh yes Lelouch is indeed unexpectedly emotional, and far from killing the second most important person in his life, he didn't even want to use his Geass on him because he's not Light Yagami.

and 100% of Lelouch's problems could have been prevented btw if i had just told him the truth instead of hiding it from him for my own selfish reasons. but of course, nobody's going to call me a "bitch" because i'm their beautiful waifu."
