Great point! :) But then, who was the one who helped her when she fell from her wheelchair? She hasn't gain her eyesight then but when Lelouch came, she already had.

Furthermore, he defeated his father long ago. So if Charles' death was the cause of Nunnally's regaining of sight, then she should have regained that long before. Remember, on episode 46, Lelouch defeated his father, then the next scene was one month later, when Lelouch declared himself as the new Emperor of Britannia (or, will it take that long before a geass can be cancelled?). Was it explained that cast Geass can be cancelled after the Geass who cast it died? And was there a situation where someone did overcome the Geass that was cast on him/her?

Nunally could´ve simply been hiding that she regained her eyesight. And no one helped her get back up from the wheelchair because when he finally came back for her, it was to use her as a prisoner.

@ChristianAurigFrøkjær Well they did say :  When Lelouch comes to retrieve the F.L.E.I.J.A. control key from Nunnally, she reveals that she somehow managed to overcome her blindness, caused by the effects of their father's Geass, *through her own willpower*

according to the wiki, the geass canceller will automatically reverse any Geass used on Jeremiah or anybody else in its range. So it could have been possible for Jeremiah to use it on Nunnally

**Nunnally was helped back on her chair:** Lelouch had always planned to destroy Damocles and of cause Nunnally was on board, even on opposite sides Lelouch still loved Nunnally, Lelouch would have had an agent ensure that no matter what happened to him or the Zero Requiem Nunnally would be safe so that he wouldn't loose her like he almost did last time

**Geass is canceled when the user dies:** this can be tied with the debate of if Lelouch is dead or not as there are conflicting evidence, the girl Lelouch commanded to scratch the wall everyday had stopped and the Geass Canceler was never use in Ashford (however she could have been in town in the same area as Shirley unconfirmed thuough), what contradicts this is Schnizel's order to "Obey Zero" which he is doing at the ever end (and since Zero is now Suzaku Schnizel would obey him) so that either means Lelouch is alive of Geass doesn't disappear when the user dies

@Memor-X Geass is NOT CANCELLED upon user's death. Charles was long dead (months) during the Damocles battle, and Nunnaly was still blind, as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunnally_Lamperouge . Geass can be weakened by the user's death, but not broken.

@Mindwin if you read my entire comment i also explain a contradiction about Geass being canceled or even weakening after the caster's death. If Lelouch did die then the Geass on Schnizel should be weakening however according to the [Code Geass Wiki](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Schneizel_el_Britannia) and what we see at the end he is still "obeying Zero", if the Geass had weakened he would not be given his character, however as i also noted, this contradiction will be cleared out once we get a definitive comment from the writers about Lelouch's fate

@Memor-X we do have a canon position on Lelouch's fate: UNKNOWN. The show producers decided to cut the shot of the cart rider smiling, to leave interpretation OPEN (craps the people like me that need certainty, but caters to a larger audience) to generate specifically this kind of buzz we have right now on if he lives or dies. Even worse, is geass cancelled upon the user receiving a code? lolz. PS: the wikia sites info is not the best source for stuff. lots and lots of speculation in disguise everywhere (not only code geass site, mind you).

@xjshiya I think she climbed her wheelchair by herself. Disabled people have extraordinary arm coordination and strength for their frames (compared to regular people) and If you think that she has been for years in that state, it is safe to assume she climbed her wheelchair on her own from the ground at least a couple times way before boarding the Damocles.
