He's hero because he show all of that to us, the true hero.
Btw he does feel bad to Euphy, but deep down I think its true he don't want the rebellion to end just like that.
I don't deny that part of him feels bad, I just think it isn't a significant part. Lelouch doesn't love anyone is what has been made apparent. He loves himself, and is obsessed with his plan for revenge against the Quaker Oats Man for daring to propose a healthier breakfast than Pizza Hut.
You need to watch Episode 23 ASAP. You're covering all the right points here.
As much as I'd like to defend what's essentially one of my favourite anime characters, you raise a lot of good points. You could say that Lelouch is lying to himself as much as he is to the world. The shock of the whole situation was something that he didn't expect. This is what gives him a realistic human personality. Maybe Lelouch was planning something even after he "accepted" Euphemia's proposal. But he never planned something of that magnitude, but it still fit nicely into his plans. The shock of it all scared him, and as a result his mind's initial thoughts deny it with the whole sense of righteousness and "I didn't mean to."
You could describe his character as a demon trying to break through the shell of a normal teenager.
I actually did watch Episode 23, which is why I'm saying all of this. I don't deny that Lelouch had not planned for events to happen in exactly the way they did, but everything still went exactly as he wanted it to, which is the point. It doesn't matter that he
, because he had planned on doing that, and ruining her public reputation all along. And since he had every opportunity to prevent these things from happening and stood by and let them happen all the same, because it was what he wanted and because it was convenient to his plan, it isn't unfair to suggest he did not love her at all.
I'm not saying Lelouch is a bad character. He's a bad hero and a terrible human being, but he's shaping up to be an entertaining villain. I believe Dtard jizzing himself in the pants over the entire spectacle would best define what Lelouch has become: a spectacle.
