Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion Episode II The Road of the Rebellion

a.t.b. 2009 The Holy Britannian Empire sent Prince Lelouch and his younger sister Princess Nunnally to the enemy nation of Japan as hostages.

A.t.b. 2010 War broke out in the far east. Defeated, the country of Japan became a territory of the Empire and was renamed Area 11.

Seven years later, a resistance group that challenged Britannia's rule called the Black Knights was formed. The Black Knights absorbed other local resistance cells and grew exponentially in size. Their leader is known as Zero. But his true identity is none other than the discarded Britannian prince, Lelouch vi Britannia.

Walketh the path of the beast, roaring as a lion 'r a tig'r.

Beyond the crimson sky, a Elysium awaits thee.

Prison'd in loneliness, thee'll wand'r through thy youth.

Weakness and ang'r shall obstruct thy path as intangible enemies.

Fath'r, I'm still trying to findeth myself.

Mine own fusty'r broth'rs has't hath walked this path

I chaseth aft'r their backs yond art too distant to beest seen.

As I wand'r through the night, the m'rning star shall beest mine own guideth

I may yearn f'r a dreameth yond is et'rnal.

But one thing is c'rtain, thou art mine own life.

In this windy wasteland, I liveth did surround by loveth.

T's all just an illusion yond follows an endless springeth.

Liketh a fallen angel, I may appeareth c'rrupt.

But believeth me at which hour I sayeth mine own heart is still pure.

Moth'r, thee wonneth't seeth any drops of sorrow from me.

But the grass below is at each moment did wet with dew.

The clouds drift.

Freely by the wind.

I stop and stand still.

I look up at the sky.

The sky looks dull

I'll fold my wings and stand by the ocean.

I once had a dream.

Where did its fragments go?

This sadness leads to frustration.

Some days I just lose control.

And today's one of those days.

If only I could find the right words.

Then I could make it all go away.

But I can't...

Even now...

The wind blows.

Mindless of the world.

I won't forget the warmth on my hands.

Fog covers the night.

I can't stay strong.

So I scream and hide in last night's dream.

So please tell me.

Where are you?

In this emptiness,

I'm unable to move

I know it's pathetic.

If only I could abandon my ideals.

Then I could start running freely.

But people are...

Even now...

No one pays attention to ephemeral illusions.

Will you rob everything in order to right your wrong?

"Oh, we'll never see eye to eye."

You tell yourself that and don't even try.

For whom do you advance without ever catching your breath?

I simply know what it means to love.

Isn't it the same for you?

It's as if I'm still just following someone's line of sight.

Hatred continues to circulate, ever so close to hope.

I can't see you in this distortion.

I'm sure she was looking for me too.

I soar through the sky without ever catching my breath.

No matter how much I yell, my voice reaches no one.

Aren't you to blame?

If you can't forgive me.

Then just let go of my hand.

For whom do you advance without ever catching your breath?

I did it because I loved you.

How about you?

Once everything I want is within my grasp.

All I'll do is wait to be loved.

Isn't it the same for you?

I did it because I loved you.

Isn't it the same for you?

Congratulations, Suzaku!

Your accomplishments are being acknowledged.

Unfortunately, it means you're only going to get busier.

I successfully got Suzaku into the student council at Ashford.

Now, I just need him to join the Black Knights.

He can be on standby to act in case anything happens to Nunnally.

But I have to keep my identity secret.

Zero can act freely because he's a symbol.

Do I use his past as leverage to convince him to join?

C.C. showed me a fragment of his memory in Narita.

If that was real,

then Suzaku decided to end the war himself by killing his father,

Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi.

I can take advantage of that.

No! I... I!!!

Yes, take advantage...

He might've done it for my and Nunnally's sakes as well.

How heartless of me.

Now then, I'll announce the new organizational structure for the Black Knights.

The chief of military affairs will now be Kyoshiro Tohdoh.

In charge of general intelligence, including public relations, spying, and liaison work...

Diethard Reid.

This Britannian?!

Not just that, he's with the media!

Zero, what's the reason for having a Britannian in such an important position?

Reason? Well then, what about me?

As you all know, I'm not Japanese, either.

What we need here are talents which get results!

Race, past, and methods don't matter!

All right! All right!

My second in command is Kaname Ohgi.

Me?

You object?

N-No...

Well, Ohgi was our leader to begin with.

I was getting worried with all these newcomers.

In charge of engineering and development: Rakshata.

Naturally.

Commander of Zero Squad: Kallen Kouzuki.

"Zero Squad"?

Zero Squad alone will be under my direct command.

You can think of it as a sort of royal guard.

Zero's... royal guard!

Commander of squad 1: Shougo Asahina.

Commander of squad 2: Ryouga Senba.

Commander of squad 3: Kizuna Kagesaki.

I don't care if he's an honorary Britannian. Knighting an Eleven is absurd.

And authorizing it live on television!

How'd he ever win her favour?

Just look at her. Princess Euphemia's an adolescent, after all.

Are they serious?!

This can't be happening!

And he was promoted to major! He's an Eleven!

Suzaku Kururugi.

Wilt thou swear this day to do battle as a knight of Britannia?

Yes, Your Highness.

Wilt thou abandon selfishness and wish to be sword and shield for the sake of great justice?

Yes, Your Highness.

I, Euphemia li Britannia, do dub thee Sir Suzaku Kururugi.

This is going to make his being attached to us complicated.

Lloyd seems to have spoken with him about that.

You mean Prince Schneizel?

Yes.

And the commander of special forces squad 2: Shinichiro Tamaki. That is all.

Hell yeah!

No position for C.C.?

We'll be heading to Shikine Island.

That's where Sub-Viceroy Euphemia is meeting a VIP from Britannia.

This is our chance to make contact with her knight, Suzaku Kururugi.

Our objective is to recruit him.

Do not kill him.

Understand?

Construction of the Thought Elevator is proceeding as scheduled.

Yes, I understand.

Schneizel?

Yes. What's to be done about him?

Let him do as he pleases. If he believes in himself, let him challenge me.

The Black Knights? But how did they get here?!

Squad 1, continue advancing!

Zero Squad, provide support fire from squad 1's flank!

That gal packs a hell of a punch!

Impressive as always, Tohdoh.

All I need to do now is wait for this news to reach Euphemia.

In the end, they're just a garrison unit!

I'll finish him off!

Zero!

Come and get me, Suzaku!

Target confirmed.

All units, assume formation three and fall back.

Do not fire on the target! I repeat: Do not fire on the target!

Yes, thanks to A.S.E.E.C.

Wha...? But, that would mean...

Yes, Your Highness!

It's over, Zero!

No, you're wrong, Suzaku!

Ready, set... Gefjun Disturber!

What the...?!

I can't move!

No good!

I want to speak to you, Suzaku Kururugi!

Will you please come out?

Only your primary power systems have been shut down.

You'll be treated according to international law as a prisoner.

If you don't want to talk, would you prefer to be gunned down from four directions?

I don't care! Please tell Suzaku to exit the unit!

And why isn't the Lancelot working anyway?!

The Sakuradite used to power the Knightmare...

Something's interfering with it!

A Gefjun Disturber.

You mean...!

But it's also partially being used as a jammer.

I thought it was just theoretical. That was careless of me...

It really is you, isn't it, Rakshata?

We still need to improve the effective range and the duration.

Suzaku Kururugi, I'll get straight to the point.

I want you to join me.

Is that a threat? Even so, I refuse!

I told you before, any results gained through the wrong methods are meaningless!

Then answer me this! Isn't the peace we have now meaningless as well?

What do you think would have happened if Japan had chosen

the course of do-or-die resistance seven years ago?

The Chinese Federation and E.U. would have intervened,

and Japan would have been split into three parts.

They'd probably still be fighting even now!

In short, the current peace is the result of an immediate unconditional surrender.

That's right.

And I've been fighting to preserve the peace that my father built!

No, you're wrong.

Surrender wasn't the choice of Prime Minister Kururugi, who had been elected to his post,

but rather the selfish decision of whoever it was who killed him!

With the government's command line thrown into confusion, surrender became the only choice to make.

Do you understand? The will of the people was stolen from them.

By a lone criminal who broke the rules for his own selfish reasons!

Can you hear what they're saying?

There's too much static on the mic!

How do you know that?

There's only one way to atone for that.

Present the Japanese people with the choice they weren't able to make then.

The path of fighting Britannia which was robbed from them seven years ago.

Fighting?! That again?!

Then answer me this!

Do you intend to forever drive the masses towards a future dictated by your own egotism?!

You call that peace?!

Do you read me, Maj. Kururugi? Respond!

May I?

As you wish.

This is Lt. Colonel Fayer, commander of the Britannian base here on Shikine Island.

We're launching surface to surface missiles against the terrorists!

Maj. Kururugi, you are ordered to keep Zero there!

He's ordering his subordinate to die?!

I can't approve of your methods! All I can do right now is this!

Incoming missiles, confirmed!

Zero, I'll save you!

Dammit!

You're going to die too! Do you really not care?!

Maj. Kururugi, you won't be dying in vain!

We'll be able to bury Zero, the traitor to our homeland, once and for all!

They'll be talking about your bravery for generations to come!

Shut up!

All Knightmares, set up a barrage against those incoming missiles!

Empty your guns if you have to!

Suzaku, let Zero go!

It's me! It's me! Kallen Stadtfeld from the student council!

Look at me!

A soldier has to follow his orders!

Certainly easier than following your own heart!

How do you feel about this?!

You're wrong! I'm doing this by my own rules!

A float system?! Well, that beats me.

Wh-What the...?!

Suzaku! If you don't do something, you're really going to die!

Better that than breaking more rules!

You stubborn fool!

Live!

He's gone.

Did he run away... or was it...

Should I chase after him? The Lancelot and the red one both ran off.

No need to do that.

Thanks for coming out here on such a short notice, Anya.

It's nothing. I was on my way to Kamine Island for my original mission anyway.

Where's Suzaku?

What happened to Suzaku?

We're looking for him right now.

Hey!

The Lancelot is back online!

Where am I?

Did they include Suzaku in the attack to see how we'd act?

Who gave such an order?

I was forced to use my Geass!

What do you think, Kannon?

The Emperor's actions are like, anything but normal.

He dispatched an investigation team for Kamine Island, not Shikine Island.

Anya said her mission was to defend that island.

What's there?

Ruins. They're over 5000 years old.

It's fine to dream a little, but I wish he'd pay more attention to reality.

He sent the Gawain to Tanzania to investigate something similar, but it was like, stolen by the Chinese Federation.

The Indian Military District might have done that on their own.

By the way, what should we do about Maj. Kururugi's case of insubordination?

I think we should leave him be for a little longer.

The Black Knights didn't shoot him in that situation, which could mean...

Could it be... He's a spy for the Black Knights?

No, I don't think that's the case.

Anyway, A.S.E.E.C. is my division.

And he's also Euphy's knight.

I'm not used to being scolded by my younger sister.

Yes, it's true that the Chinese Federation intervention

and the terrorist acts of the Black Knights have caused all sorts of disruption to our society.

However, that is a completely separate issue from this!

The fact remains that you both have been absent from class too often!

I don't care how good your grades are,

and I don't care that you're Princess Euphemia's knight!

If you don't have enough attendance days, you have to repeat a year!

Sounds like she's still at it.

This might go on all night.

Hey, how long are we going to be here?

We can't catch Cornelia nor bring Kururugi into the organization.

It's too risky to be in the center of the settlement.

There's no significant meaning in a tactical loss.

The operation is ongoing.

Besides, it's safer to stay in the academy until I can ensure Nunnally's safety.

I'm talking about you.

I can't have you die before you fulfil our contract.

Then tell me.

What should I do in return for this Geass?

I'll let you know when the time is right.

What is this?

The paint job is terrible.

It's Britannia's experimental unit that we captured in Tanzania.

Developed by the Zevon family?

It's equipped with a super computing unit called the Druid System along with a Hadron Cannon.

Who should we give it to for collecting data?

It's a new model.

Give it to Zero.

But it's a two-seater.

Perfect. He's got that mysterious woman with him all the time.

Or would you rather we give it to Tamaki?

Uh, let's not...

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for!

The Ashford Academy school festival, the most open event in the Tokyo Settlement,

is about to begin!

The start will be announced by the following voice!

Um, are you sure this is all right?

It is!

All right then.

Meow!

It's so noisy today.

Yes, that's right.

The failure at Kyushu should be a good example.

Yes, sir.

I have the emergency plan for each region saved on the computer.

We've ascertained the solar panels used in each settlement as well as the associated energy storage sites.

What about those underground collaborators?

I can handle that by myself.

I've already checked 72 percent of them.

What about Tohdoh?

He's working up a list of occupation targets.

I want you to check on them, including the dummy plan documents being sent to Kyoto.

Okay.

I'll look at them tomorrow.

Oh, and I know we're late in reporting this to you,

but the commander of Zero Squad is at Ashford Academy.

Trouble! Major, major trouble!

I'll contact you later!

Trouble?

What are you goofing off for?! You're the executive chairman, aren't you?!

But things are running without a problem!

Besides, you're in charge, aren't you?

It was two meters wide till last year, but then you suddenly declared we had to have a twelve-meter pizza this year!

Yeah, isn't it amazing?

Once it's finished, it'll be the largest one of its type in the world!

Just the oven and ingredients alone are causing an uproar.

And now a TV crew's here? Don't you know we can't show our faces?!

But we have to record making the pizza!

You can just man the booth, okay? President's orders.

That's a relief.

I thought you'd never come back to school.

So you did hear me.

Why didn't you tell anyone about who I really am?!

You're Kallen Stadtfeld right now, aren't you?

Not Kallen Kouzuki.

Are you trying to lure me in by showing me mercy?

If we meet on the battlefield, I won't show you any mercy.

But I want to keep trying to persuade you.

I realize this is against the rules,

but at school, I choose to persuade rather than fight.

Suzaku, the truck's here with the cheese...

You came?

Y-Yeah. I'm not as sick now, so...

Kallen, what we were talking about has nothing to do with school, okay?

Gotcha.

Good work, bringing them here from Area 18 in one night.

Your forces are excellent, Cornelia.

You flatter me.

I'm honoured you could get your regular forces to fill in for them, my brother.

It was the least I could do.

And combined with the Glaston Knights on standby in the homeland.

Now my forces look the way they should.

We even have Sattel Waffes for the Gloucesters.

I know.

I'm going to play this card in my negotiations with the Chinese Federation.

Please do.

What an honour.

Being asked to do something by Princess Cornelia, who is unmatched on the battlefield.

Please don't tease me.

It's true.

On the battlefield, you shine more beautifully and brightly than any flower or butterfly at a ball.

Yes, like the Flash herself.

Please, stop saying that about me. I'm just...

Where could Euphy have gotten to?

I told her I was seeing you off.

Oh, I already spoke with Euphy last night.

Last night?

Oh, and about that matter Bartley's in charge of...

Oh, yes, I don't mind, but will that really be of any use to us?

I'm so sorry, but there's something I must speak to Suzaku about.

Oh, no, it's fine.

Suzaku, my brother's approved my idea. Now we can.

I'm so sorry! Are you all right?

I'm fine. Are you all right?

Nunnally?!

That voice... Can it be...?

It really is you!

You're alive?

I see.

Lelouch asked the Ashford family to take you in.

Will you stay quiet about this? About my brother and me?

But, if you stay like this...

All I want to do is to stay with my brother.

Do you remember the time we had that argument?

About which of us was going to marry Lelouch?

I do! Where we put Lelouch on the spot by demanding he decide that night!

And now?

Do you still love him, even now?

Hello there!

Tell me, have you seen Maj. Kururugi? They said he was here... Hm?

Ah! Looks like you're working on some fun stuff here!

You understand it?

Uranium, right? The one with an atomic mass of 235, I see.

Yes, that's right! If you can get this uranium 235 to absorb active neutrons,

it should cause it to split into two atomic nuclei and high-speed neutrons!

My, my!

Could you be the girl who received the special award?

Yo-You know about me?

I do.

Princess Euphemia said you were exceptional.

Sh-She did?

Oh my... I'm ecstatic.

All right! Any moment now!

Any moment now, we begin!

The making of the world's largest pizza!

Incidentally, I'd like to note that this thing at my feet is an oven specially built just for this!

A fabulous waste of money! A fabulous

I understand, Shirley. I promise I'll make time for you.

Just send out group B to help with the stage.

Right.

Heh...

It's not like people will die if we make mistakes.

Not bad at all. Looks like it's all going to schedule, huh?

I've learned how to manage people lately.

Still, everyone seems so optimistic, don't they?

Even though both the Chinese Federation and the Black Knights have been causing trouble.

It just proves something.

Festivals are necessary. For everyone, at all times. You still have lots to learn.

Lesson learned!

Big brother!

Nunnally, the pizza will...

Sorry! Give me a sec!

Call me if something happens!

It looks like the ingredients are ready!

Now then, allow me to introduce

our dough tosser, the Ashford family Ganymede!

Yes, it's a bit of a classic.

However, at the controls is the student council's dress-code monitor,

the knight of Princess Euphemia, Suzaku Kururugi!

What? Are there...

Yes. A lot of Elevens have come for this, too.

It's an open festival after all, and this is Suzaku's school.

Just because of that?

Yes. Suzaku is a star of hope for many Elevens.

I see...

Ganymede, a third-generation Knightmare.

The type used by Lady Marianne the Flash, correct?

It's just a basic frame. A big puppet for events like this.

It's a heretical design that was dropped from competing for the next generation of Frame because of Lady Marianne's death.

I'm guessing that's the real reason you want to marry me.

Do you get it now? He has no attraction at all to the opposite sex.

How unfortunate! I only know it as a general concept!

And again! Can he get it any larger, folks?!

C'mon, Sir Suzaku! We've got high hopes for you!

It was my turn last year, but I can't compare to a real pro.

Today is nothing but a day of surprises.

To think you and Nunnally were both alive.

And that you're Suzaku's friend, too!

What is he doing?!

Is this why he's been avoiding me lately?

If Britannia finds out we're alive, then the people who murdered our mother may come after us.

I'd like to avoid seeing each other that often.

Don't worry.

I came up with a plan.

I'm here today to tell Suzaku about it.

A plan?

Yes!

I haven't told Cornelia yet, but I told Schneizel and...

Oh!

Could I meet with Cornelia?

Just me and her, if possible.

Lelouch, are you...

Lulu!

Princess Euphemia?!

Princess Euphemia?

Huh? What's up?

Over there?

It's true! It's Princess Euphemia!

Princess Euphemia?!

Lelouch! Get Nunnally out of here!

Sorry, but I will!

Right! The sub-viceroy is near the main entrance!

Roger! I'll send in the standby team!

Camera! Get a link to the studio!

Gotcha!

Princess Euphemia's come here!

No way! Why?!

Where?! Where is she?!

Stop! Don't run! You might trip!

The pizza...

Should we have left this to the pros?

I'm afraid we may have to give up on this and some other things for now.

Is that so?

Well, Kouzuki, I'm just glad I don't have to use this truck.

Take care.

Looks like we didn't need this setup after all.

There's also now no need for the commander of Zero Squad to escape, either.

But I'd like you to stay under cover here in the settlement.

I'll introduce you to Zero later on.

I understand.

Oh, boy...

Are you all right, Princess Euphemia?!

Oh! Thank you, Suzaku!

Are you all right, Nunnally?

Yes. What about Euphy?

She's fine. Suzaku saved her.

I see

Princess Euphemia, can I get a comment, please?

Is this video being carried to the entire Area?

Huh? You mean are we live right now?

Euphy?

I've an important announcement to make!

We crossover live to an important announcement.

I am Euphemia, sub-viceroy of Area 11 of the Holy Britannian Empire.

There is something I wish to tell you all today!

Now what? That little girl is making such a fuss.

I, Euphemia li Britannia, do hereby declare the formation

of the special administrative zone of Nippon in the area around Mt. Fuji!

What?! Britannia has...?!

They're... recognizing Japan?!

Dammit! That's their game now?! Even if it's just a limited area!

Within the special administrative zone of Nippon, Elevens may go back to calling themselves Japanese.

Restrictions against Elevens and special rights for Britannians will not exist within the S.A.Z.

It will be a world where Elevens and Britannians will live as equals!

Live as equals?

Bullshit.

I bet we have to disarm ourselves to join the zone.

But if we don't join, we're resisting peace.

What should we do, Tohdoh?

Over twenty thousand people have applied to join the S.A.Z.

The way things look, that number's just going to grow.

Thanks to you.

Because of what you represent to the Japanese people,

everyone believes in what we're doing here.

No... It must be because of the proclamation you made, Princess.

I'm thankful for this. Truly thankful.

As I am to you.

I hope you'll help me with everything that's still to come.

Yes, Your...

Please.

Yes.

By the way, who are the people you said you wanted to introduce me to?

I can't tell you until the S.A.Z. opens.

I'm home.

Welcome home, big brother. Where's Shirley?

Sorry, she never showed up. I couldn't contact her, either.

More of her getting back at you, huh? You seem sort of cold towards her lately.

You think so? I'll need to reflect on my actions.

Oh, Sayoko, could you bring us some tea, please?

Yes, as you wish.

Are you worried about something?

Is it about Euphy?

I won't be selfish and say I want to see her again.

It would just cause trouble for you and Euphy.

You like Euphy, don't you?

Yes, the same way you like her.

Yeah... I did like her.

Princess Euphemia, it's time.

Right.

Zero.

He came after all!

You accept that you've lost?

Your target is Zero. If he makes any suspicious moves, kill him at once.

Yes, my lord.

Welcome, Zero! Welcome to the special administrative zone of Nippon!

Euphemia li Britannia! I sincerely wish to speak with you!

With me?

Yes! With you alone!

Something major has happened, ladies and gentlemen!

Zero has boldly appeared!

Under Princess Euphemia's directions, he is moving toward the G1.

I knew we should have gone there.

What choice did we have?

Everyone said that if Lancelot was there waiting, Zero wouldn't show.

There doesn't seem to be any obvious problem.

Then this way, please.

Princess Euphemia, it's dangerous to be alone with this man!

At least let me come with you!

It's all right. Please, just trust me.

C'mon, how long are we supposed to hang around here?

Wasn't having Zero tell us to wait here enough for you?

Yeah, but...

Everything starts after we confirm the Britannian's real intentions.

Deputy commander?

Hm? Yes?

Because he knows what their intentions are,

he's told all of us to hide and stand by at all four corners, hasn't he?

It's dangerous to draw conclusions.

He's even got Diethard and Rakshata standing by.

I think he may be planning to kill Euphemia...

You're taking a lot of care, aren't you? Even though the cameras are off.

Because I've been in hiding for a long time. The fault of a certain empire, I'm afraid.

I knew it was you, Lelouch!

You've always been sharp.

That's why I didn't want to see you.

But you took your mask off.

Does that mean you'll cooperate with me?

No.

I just wanted to see you face to face for the last time.

This is a needle gun, made from ceramic and bamboo.

It can't be picked up on a detector.

Lelouch... You wouldn't shoot me, would you?

No, I wouldn't.

You'll be doing the shooting, Euphy.

Is it really all right to leave her alone with Zero?

But she ordered us!

There's an emergency call button she can press.

What's wrong?

What are you doing with Zero?!

It seems like he can see me.

Is it because of my contact with him in Narita?

Or is it because he...? But, if that's the case, then...

This ceremony is being broadcast worldwide.

And the world's going to see you, a Britannian princess, shoot Zero.

What do you think will happen then?

Violence would break out, I imagine.

Right.

Zero will become a martyr, tricked into a deathtrap,

and your popularity will crash to the Earth.

What kind of nonsense are you saying? Help me rebuild Japan...

If you arbitrarily push it upon us from on high, you're being just as bad as Clovis was!

All conditions for this situation have been cleared.

After hovering near death, Zero will be cheered when he makes a miraculous recovery.

People don't care about reason. But they can't resist a good miracle.

Now, take the gun.

There can be only one messiah.

Once they see you're a false one, the people will...

I... I thought so!

Just tell me one thing!

Do you know V.V.?

No... Already?

Hey! What's wrong?!

Maj. Kururugi!

Why, you...! What have you done?!

Lelouch!

Stop it! Stop giving me your pity!

I won't take your charity! I have to try and achieve this on my own!

And for that, I'll stain your hands with blood, Euphemia li Britannia!

I've given up that name!

There'll probably be an announcement from the homeland soon, but I've given up my claim to the throne!

Why? Not because you accepted Zero, is it?

A price had to be paid for doing something this selfish, right?

It's easy for you to give it up, isn't it? I suppose you did it for my sake.

You're as conceited as ever, I see. I did it for Nunnally!

She told me herself. "All I want to do is to stay with my brother, I don't need anything else."

And that's why you...?!

And that's what made up my mind.

It made me consider what was truly important to me.

So do you see, Lelouch? I'm not giving up anything that's truly important to me.

And don't worry! I won't tell anyone about you!

And Cornelia?

It's not like we'll never see each other again.

You're a fool. An amazing fool.

I may not have ever been able to beat you at games or studies, Lelouch, but...

But in your own rash way, you ended up winning it all.

When I think about it, more than being the sub-viceroy or a princess,

you were always just plain little Euphy.

Then will you do this with plain little Euphy?

You... You are the worst enemy I ever faced.

You win.

Let's figure out a better use for this special zone of yours.

Oh, but I won't act as your subordinate, all right?

Right! Still, you don't have much faith in me, do you?

Did you really think you could get me to shoot you just by threatening me?

Oh, no, that's not it.

If I really order someone to do something, no one can resist.

To shoot me, to dismiss Suzaku, any order at all.

Oh, you're just being silly now.

I'm serious!

For example, if I told you, "Kill all the Japanese," it wouldn't matter how you felt about it...

No... Please, I don't... No!

I don't want to kill them!

No...!

Did I...?!

You're right. I have to kill the Japanese.

Forget the order I just gave you! Euphy!

Euphy, wait!

Right, I've completed the talks with the Chinese Federation,

so I'll be returning to the homeland today.

Then we should keep the experimental adapted organism here.

How's his intelligence?

There's only so much we can do here in Area 11.

I see. We should ask the Rosenberg Institute about that.

Can you send him and the test unit over there after I make the arrangements?

Understood, Your Highness. That just leaves the Kamine Island ruins...

It'll have to wait till the security situation in Area 11 has stabilized with the S.A.Z.

Thanks to Euphemia, it looks like everything's going to work out perfectly.

Sub-viceroy, where's Zero?!

All of you who call yourselves Japanese

I have a favour to ask! Could you all die, please?

What did she just say?

No way...

It's a joke, right?

Suzaku!

He's just unconscious. But why?!

Umm

I was hoping you'd commit suicide, but you can't, can you?

Well then, soldiers, please kill them all. Wipe them out!

She's serious?!

Cut the mics and cameras!

Euphy, no!

Halt!

Out of my way!

You terrorist!

Stand aside!

Go on, soldiers! Hurry!

Princess Euphemia! What's come over you?!

Stop this, please! This is...

General!

Forgive me, but I have to kill all the Japanese.

Now then, all Britannians!

You heard the sub-viceroy. Kill the Elevens! All troops, exterminate the Elevens!

Don't let one escape! Kill them all!

Stop it! What are you doing?!

This is Suzaku Kururugi, Knight of Honor of the Britannian Forces!

Cease fire at once!

We were ordered to kill all the Japanese here. Princess Euphemia ordered it personally.

What? Princess Euphemia did? Don't be ridiculous!

Say, you're Japanese too, aren't you?

What's happening?!

What happened in there?!

Gun fire?

It can't be. What does the TV say?

They cut the feed!

Euphy, stop!

This... My Geass did this?!

Z-Zero...

Help us... Japan's... savior...

Stop it

I'm not your savior. I'm not your messiah!

You're... You're our only... hope...

Stop...

Don't... Don't force me

I have to atone for this sin? Bear this cross, too?!

Zero... What did you do to Princess Euphemia?!

Andreas Darlton...

The closest of Cornelia's close advisors.

What?! What's happening in the stadium?!

We're figuring that out!

We're getting a feed from the stadium now.

Why can't you cut this off?!

Someone's hacking this in from somewhere!

Stop it! It's going live to the entire world!

They'll cut the broadcast soon. Let's upload the data to the Net.

You heard him!

Right.

Sir! C.C. has made contact with the supreme commander!

Good! That's the last problem, cleared.

I don't know how you arranged this situation,

but this scheme is beyond what we planned, Zero.

Why you.

I'm shocked. I didn't think you'd go this far.

It wasn't me.

What?

I didn't use my Geass.

Or rather, I didn't mean to use it!

I see. Then, what I felt before was...

Even knowing the risks, I made my contract with you.

You told me how dangerous this power was. And yet...!

He did it! He really did it!

Euphy!

Have you found her?! Where is she?!

I don't know! We can't contact Gen. Darlton, either!

Something's wrong. This isn't like Euphemia at all.

I wish we had room to negotiate, but we can't get in touch with Kirihara now!

Hm, yes. For now, we need to save ourselves.

Indeed. Is the "souvenir" ready?

How pathetic...

In the end, we value ourselves above others.

You shouldn't say that, Lady Sumeragi.

We need to stay alive for Japan's sake, as well.

And what's the point if we're the only ones left?!

Watch your tongue, Kaguya! You only have your family's name backing you!

If we don't act now, what's the point of Kyoto's existence?!

Hey! The Britannian forces have left the stadium!

Right.

In this case, our only option is to exploit Euphemia to the utmost.

It's the least we can do!

Attention, Zero! Return that unit! That machine is the property of our military...

This is an order to all Black Knights!

Euphemia has become our enemy!

The special administrative zone of Nippon is a cowardly trap to lure us in!

Armored autonomous battle knight units, break into the ceremony grounds!

Wipe out all Britannian forces!

Save the Japanese!

Hurry!

I have to... I have to find Euphy!

Find her and kill her!

How dare that Euphemia?! How dare she trick us like this?!

Elevens!

That's right... I knew this was your real intention!

It's the Black Knights!

Smash the Britannians!

Where is she?! Where's Euphy?!

Stop it! I don't have time to waste with you!

My! This has become a real mess.

Stop it!

Are you Japanese?

How rude of you! I am Euphemia li Britannia!

So, here you are, princess!

And I'm going to avenge everyone, right here!

Wait!

I'll deal with her!

A Japanese dares do this?!

Now what, Zero? Do we take her prisoner?

That's useless now.

Kill them all! I must kill all the Japanese!

Why now?! Quickly! Quickly!

Umm... I think it goes like this.

Oh, I thought you were a Japanese.

So, I was thinking, we can run the special administrative zone of Nippon together...

Nippon...?

Yes. I really wanted to, if I could.

You and I.

Euphy...

Lelouch... Why...?

Farewell, Euphy.

You may have been the first girl I ever loved.

Suzaku!

Why now?!

I can't let you kill him!

Suzaku!

Out of my way!

You...!

Please... Save her! Save Euphy!

At last, we meet!

This girl

I'm sure she's a relative of Suzaku's.

Zero, we want to make sure you'll be working for us in what's to come...

Just the opposite!

From here on, you of the six houses of Kyoto will be acting under my direction!

I will allow no objections!

Any other paths of survival for you have now vanished!

We must inform Viceroy Cornelia.

I'll be contacting her.

Can she hold on till we're back at the government bureau?

She probably won't make it.

I'll contact Prince Schneizel, then. Excuse me.

Suzaku...

Euphy!

Euphy... I want you to tell me.

Why did you give that order?

Order?

What are you talking about?

Never mind that... Suzaku... You're... Japanese, right?

Y-Yeah?

Euphy!

No!

I mustn't...

No... I mustn't... think such a thing...

Suzaku?

What?

The ceremony...

Is Nippon... Is it all right?

Euphy... You don't remember?

People of Japan!

All people who are oppressed by Britannia!

Did I make the people of Japan happy?

Never forgive Euphemia!

Witch!

Liar!

Go to hell!

That's right! Euphemia is the symbol of Britannian hypocrisy!

A murderer who used the appearance of a nation to cover up her crime!

Did I... Did I make it work?

Euphy... The S.A.Z. is...

It's a huge success!

Everyone is so happy... in Nippon.

Thank God...

Here and now, I declare our independence from Britannia!

But don't take this to mean the resurrection of the old nation of Japan!

I won't make the mistake of trying to wind back the clock of history!

The new Japan we will now build

shall be one broad enough to accept all peoples, all histories, and all ideologies!

A proud nation where the strong shall not oppress the weak!

And it shall be called... the United States of Japan!

Yes... This moment, a new nation is born!

How... strange.

I can't see... your face... anymore...

Keep going... to school

I had... to stop... before I finished...

Euphy... You can still go!

I got it! We can both go to Ashford Academy together!

Their student council is so much fun...! You and I...!

You'll have to... do it... in my place...

No! Euphy, don't!

Suzaku

I'm so glad... I was able to...

Area Fukushima, Byakko squad, en route to lbaraki.

Area Tama...

You're planning to assault the Tokyo Settlement?

Right. This is the best chance we'll get.

It's all right. Geass doesn't work on me. You know that, don't you?

That's true, isn't it?

Now that I can't control my Geass, I suppose I can never see the others again.

Have there been any other changes, aside from losing control of your Geass?

Not particularly. Just...

Euphy... She resisted the Geass. My order.

I was wondering if my power had weakened, but...

But I think it was... She couldn't accept such an order.

It was so against her nature...

And so?

That's all.

It was just.

I made my contract with you. At the very least, I'll stay with you to the end.

We were too slow.

Even though we've cut off the news being spread on the net,

insurrections have broken out in all areas in just a few hours!

The largest armed group, the Black Knights,

is absorbing the masses and advancing on the Tokyo Settlement!

The other blocks have deployed forces for defense and can't send reinforcements!

Counting betrayals by honorary Britannians,

the enemy's strength now reaches into the tens of thousands!

Lord Guilford!

I hope you're all right, Mr. Kaname.

You said you had work in Shizuoka.

Yeah, I'm fine over here.

Look, Chigusa, we have something important to discuss when I get back.

Hm? What's up?

That's the first time you've ever called me by that name.

Oh, you're right. Does it sound weird to you?

Not a bit! Anyway, I'll be waiting.

There she is! It's that Brit woman!

I just saw her looking outside!

A spy! You're a spy, aren't you?!

Nina, they want us back at the school building floor!

The insurgents are approaching Tokyo!

I know. Zero's coming, isn't he?

Please wait for me, Princess Euphemia. I swear, I'll avenge you!

Euphy... I just don't understand.

Why did you give that order?!

Shall I tell you?

Who are you?

How do you do, Suzaku Kururugi? My name is V.V.

V.V.?

If we can just defeat Cornelia, then we win!

All forces, follow the deployment scheme and stand by!

Diethard, have Tohdoh handle the front line.

I'm leaving you in charge here.

Understood, sir.

You're Sumeragi's...?

Oh, thank goodness! I'm in time!

That was so mean of you, going into battle and then leaving me behind like that!

I've been a fan of yours for a while now, ever since your debut!

I was hoping we could finally have a chance to talk, but...

You're much taller than most people, huh?

Don't worry, I'll catch up with you soon.

L-Lady Kaguya, I thought the heads of the Six Houses were staying back at Mt. Fuji.

I caught up with you! To see how my future husband fights!

Please don't joke.

When you win this battle, you'll eventually need a wife, right?

If you're never going to show your face to anyone,

I think you're going to need someone to compensate for that.

You think we're going to win this battle?

Yes! Because I'm the goddess of victory!

How splendid! Unfortunately, I've already sold my soul to the devil.

I'm afraid I can't be friendly with any gods now.

Hurry! We have to get the experimental bio form back to the homeland!

Ah! The pressure! The internal pressure is rising!

Now, of all times...!

Good morning, sir.

Gen. Darlton, please! You're in no condition to do this!

I don't care! Her Highness... I must get to Her Highness!

Code-R

I see. You've given me an abnormal level

of active electrical potential and neurofilaments.

It's such a pleasure to understand!

You experimented on me in order to recreate it, didn't you?

This disease of hers...

Code-R isn't an invalid!

In any case, won't you please calm down?

Your brain cells were severed from the Circle of Willis, so...

Spare me your excuses!

You made me like this because you hated me for sending you back to the homeland!

All right, I promise to hear you out, but let's get back to the homeland first!

We can't have a proper conversation in this situation!

Hear me, Britannia!

My name is Zero.

Zero!

A rebel against those with power!

We will wait until midnight. You have until then to surrender to me.

The entire settlement?

Yes, sir. He's on all the communication channels.

Then there's no way to contact the outside?!

Hmph... Use this chance to confirm the enemy's formation.

Yes, Your Highness.

I will have vengeance for Euphemia, and I'll take it right here and now, Zero!

Fair, open, and face to face!

This is your final warning!

We will wait until midnight. You have until then to surrender!

Surrender! At midnight, surrender the settlement...

H-Hey! What are you doing?! Stop it! If you do that...!

Would you please not interfere?

This is no time to be kidding around! If you don't stop...

Are you ready to commence bombing?

Timed on target.

Good. Take position to fire!

What?!

An earthquake?!

A layered structure, built to be earthquake resistant.

But if you purge all of the floor sections simultaneously, there's nothing more fragile!

By gathering on the city's perimeter to engage the Black Knights, you sealed your fate!

I'm not beaten yet!

Zero... You really are amazing!

Is the entire settlement collapsing?

I heard it was just the outer perimeter.

There are facilities in it we'll need later.

Still, how did Zero's underground collaborators do this?

That Britannian student must really be Zero.

Then this is magnificent!

He'll undoubtedly pave the way for a new world.

This will do. Once we broadcast images of the government bureau falling to us

and our declaration of independence to the world,

then he'll have to face me, whether he likes it or not!

And if I can get him... Get the Britannian emperor to meet me face to face,

then all the cards will fall into my hands!

The special forces squad and Zero Squad will give priority to the school grounds.

We'll set up our command center in one of the buildings.

What? On the school grounds?

Ohgi, you stand by there as well. Ohgi!

R-Right. Understood.

Diethard! Their air power has been taken care of!

Leave G1 to Kaguya. Move to your assigned location!

Understood.

Yoshida, prepare the Raikou!

Right!

Tamaki, where's Rakshata?

On the move.

Kallen, move to back them up!

Right!

Tohdoh, if the target appears...

Understood.

All right... Ohgi, what's the collaborator's name?

R-Right. I have it as Sayoko Shinozaki.

Contact lost with Hiroshima Settlement.

Uprisings have apparently broken out in the Sapporo Settlement as well!

We confirm that Chinese Federation naval forces are massing in the East China Sea!

The Chinese Federation, too?!

That's all we need, with His Majesty still not here!

Prince Odysseus, we're ready to deploy troops.

Please assign the commanders.

Let's not be too hasty.

What Princess Euphemia did was clearly a failure.

If we deal with this incorrectly, this may spread to every Area!

My lord! We must help Princess Cornelia!

Brother, why don't I go there?

Y-You will?! You'll go there?!

Don't you find it sad to see those people killing each other?

Freeze! We're the Black Knights! We've occupied this building!

You will do as we tell you to!

No... It can't be!

Now then, shall we transmit this to the world?

This is the moment that Zero changes everything, Chief.

R-Right!

We're going to give the public the greatest show they ever hoped to see!

That makes it every broadcasting station!

Hands up and turn around!

The Black Knights have now taken this school!

Lower the guns!

Huh? That's a hell of a thing to say in this situation!

Rivalz!

Lemme be cool for once! I'm protecting everyone here!

Oh, is that so?!

Stop!

I told you to avoid violence!

But you told us this was gonna be our command center!

Command center?!

Your safety will be assured.

Like we can believe you?! You guys are at war with us Britannians!

Rivalz, please.

Just do as we say.

Kallen!

Then just as I suspected... Lulu's in the Black Knights!

Take over the government bureau.

Gao Hai has promised to send support from the Chinese Federation if you're able to do so.

Thank you.

It'll be a great help.

Out of my way!

Where is Zero?! I'll kill him!

Geass?

Correct. Zero possesses a supernatural power.

Impossible.

Then why did Princess Euphemia suddenly change so completely?

And what about you, the one who always follows the rules?

What about what you did on Shikine Island? In short...

The power to control people and erase their memory!

When you think about it, it coherently explains everything that's happened till now.

And in its aftereffects, I fell in love with a damned Eleven!

That student... He's responsible for all of it!

Suzaku!

Kallen?!

We meet in battle again.

I'm sorry, but this time, you're going to die!

You're all fools! You, the Japanese, and everyone else being tricked by that man!

Shut the fuck up!

What do you even know about Zero?!

Then tell me what you know about him!

Tell me where Zero is now!

Come on, answer me! Where is Zero?!

I won't tell a traitor like you!

Then let's finish this here!

Don't get so full of yourself, just because you can fly!

I've got you!

Eat this!

Now tell me! Where is Zero?!

I hate pushy guys, you know.

I see. Then die here.

Any last words?

Wait!

Suzaku Kururugi, it seems I was naive to try and convince you to join me.

Would you like to settle this one-on-one to make up for my mistake?

Fine with me!

Order Lord Crane to fall back.

Set up a defense line on the railway station grounds.

Yes, Your Highness.

Princess Cornelia, I've reached our encampment.

What about the bureau's defense line?

Hold your position.

If we drag this battle out, it'll be bad for the Black Knights.

Yes, Your Highness.

Well, what does my older brother say?

He says the Pacific fleet should arrive in 45 hours.

Also, within Area 11, the Sado and Torishima air divisions have already been deployed.

Meaning they should be here in about 30 minutes.

Leak that information to the Black Knights!

After the leak, you will defend the bureau's front line with Lord Guilford.

And you, Princess Cornelia?

I'll be preparing for the party.

Zero!!

Can't you calm him down?!

His resistance is too strong!

We've mounted the radiator fins!

T4's headed for the government bureau?

Are the enemy air divisions here already?

No, just one unit so far.

Then it shouldn't affect too many of us.

We're holding the school and Diethard's group is holding the media areas.

Lady Kaguya is standing by on the rear line.

All we need is to push in on their rear line and we've won.

We need to, for Yoshida and the others who died.

Deputy commander, we've captured a stranger.

A student? Then let them go. We have no reason to hold them.

No, they were caught sneaking in through the rear gate.

Sneaking in?

Chigusa!

Sh-She's a collaborator who reports directly to me.

Take us to another classroom. I'll hear her report directly there.

Nina's still in the Ganymede hangar.

And Kallen's part of this? Oh... What are we going to do?

It's all right.

The Black Knights... Or rather, Zero...

They absolutely won't do anything to harm us.

Why are you so sure?

Coward!

You've taken hostages?! Some one-on-one fight this is!

Unfortunately for you, I don't see eye-to-eye with that kind of principle.

Now, how about you surrender, Lord Kururugi?

Hey, that black Knightmare's the one that was on the news, right?

It can't be... Zero's targeting this building?!

He can't! Because, if he does...!

If I can get at his chest and use the harkens...

Zero!!

Go!

Wha...?!

I figured they didn't have time to come up with a countermeasure for this.

Zero, as promised.

Yes. You can do with the machine as you wish.

Zero! You trick people to the very end! You betray them!

I have no time to argue who's the bigger hypocrite here.

Farewell, Suzaku Kururugi.

Damn it all!

Tohdoh, I'm going to move in on the bureau from above.

Hm? Isn't it risky to rely on the abilities of that machine?

I understand. I'm just going to cause some confusion.

It looks like...

Yes. Aries Villa.

How do you know that?!

I'll tell you someday, when the time comes.

Welcome, Zero.

I figured you'd come here if you knew about the air raid.

Now, enjoy your welcome party!

Do you fancy a dance?

Chigusa, why did you come to this battlefield?!

We need to find you someplace safe. For now, stay with me...

Look... I'm sorry I hid this from you.

But I'm doing this for the sake of peace!

If Zero can free Japan from Britannia, we can be together!

Oh, stop before I puke!

I and an Eleven like you, together?

My name is Villetta Nu, Knight of Honor of Britannia!

B-But...

So, Chigusa... Your memory came back...

Ohgi's been shot?!

Yeah. The medic's taking care of him now.

And it was the woman who shot him?!

We're still not sure. We're searching for her now!

Wait!

Don't tell anyone else about Ohgi. It'll just shake them up.

Just find the girl!

Gotcha!

Euphy will be avenged!!

What's wrong, Zero?!

I thought the specs on this thing were overwhelming!

Weakling!

I have you! Your life is now in my hands!

Cornelia!

This is your judgment!

Princess, it's me, Darlton.

Wha...? But, why?

Have no fear. I will not kill you.

He made it.

I'm doing this to deliver you to Zero, Your Highness.

Prin... cess...? Why?!

Thank you, Darlton.

Princess!!

Hm? Is that you, C.C.?

No.

Hm? But...

Nunnally... I've come for you.

I see... You were Zero all along.

Someone with a grudge against the Britannian imperial family...

Darlton's analysis was correct.

Y-You did this all for Nunnally's sake?

Correct.

I will destroy the present world and build a new one in its place.

You killed them for the sake of that madness?!

Clovis? Even Euphy?!

You're one to talk, sister, considering how you idolized my mother, Marianne the Flash.

It would seem... Any further talk with you would be useless.

Hmph.

Lelouch vi Britannia orders you to answer him!

Right.

Sister, were you the one who killed my mother?

No.

Then who was it?

I don't know.

You were in charge of her personal guard, were you not?!

Yes.

Then why did you withdraw her escort?

Because I was asked to.

By whom?!

Lady Marianne.

Mother did?! That's impossible!

Are you saying Mother knew she would be attacked that day?!

No, it's impossible! If she did, she would have gotten us out of there!

What happened on that day?! Who killed my mother?!

You don't know? Then who knows the truth?!

I know you've investigated what happened that day yourself!

Hey! Get back in here!

I know! The government bureau defense forces will be here soon.

No! Your little sister's been kidnapped!

This is no time for jokes.

Now we have to take Cornelia to headquarters as our hostage.

I know she's your reason for living!

She's being taken to Kamine Island!

Kamine Island?

The one near Shikine Island?

No!

I don't have nowhere near enough Sakuradite!

What do I do?

I can't avenge Princess Euphemia like this.

What are these ruins? Is this place somehow related to you?

I don't know this place.

Meaning there are others like it?

Does the one who took Nunnally have a Geass power?

I don't know that much.

It's the truth.

I'll believe you. At the very least, we're still partners in crime.

Thank you.

Search complete!

Zero! Time to repent!

Orange!

I must clear my name of the humiliation you put me through!

Cornelia hit us there before!

The Hadron Cannon only has one shot left!

My magnificent vengeance!

Makeshift, one-shot, and impudent!

Leave him to me! You go after Nunnally!

But we're out of energy!

I'll be okay!

Actually, I'm a little nervous.

Win, Lelouch. Over your own past.

And over the outcome of your actions.

C.C., don't die!

Who do you think you're talking to?

You have a point.

I've found you!

You're mine, Zero! It's time for my comeback promotion!

You're not who I'd choose to commit suicide with, but...

Hold the line! Victory is within sight!

Where did Kouzuki go?!

She went to go back up Zero!

But we can't get in touch with him!

Inoue...

Where the hell is Zero?!

What do I do?

What if the kidnapper has a Geass?

First thing to do is make sure Nunnally is all right.

Turn and face me. Slowly.

Suzaku! Why the hell are you here...

Didn't you hear me, Zero?

Turn and face me. Slowly.

Euphemia arbitrarily murdered innocent Japanese people.

You'd fight for a woman like...

That Geass of yours is convenient, isn't it?

You get to hide in the shadows while others take all the blame.

An arrogant coward. That's your true nature.

Kallen!

Don't you want to know Zero's true identity, too?

What are you saying, now?!

You also have a right to bear witness.

W-Wait!

How? Why?!

I didn't want to believe it.

L-Lelouch is...?

Yes, I'm Zero.

The man who leads the Black Knights, who challenges the Holy Britannian Empire,

and who holds the entire world in his hand.

You used us Japanese... You used me?!

Japan will be freed as a result. You've nothing to complain about, surely.

I should have arrested you sooner.

You realized it was me?

I wasn't sure, so I kept denying it to myself.

I wanted to believe in you.

But you were lying to us. To me, to Euphy... Even to Nunnally!

Yes, and now Nunnally's been kidnapped!

Suzaku, can't we have a temporary truce?! I want your help to save Nunnally!

There's nothing you and I can't accomplish!

Don't be a fool!

You should have joined up with Euphy first!

If you and Euphy had joined forces, the world could have been...!

That's all in the past! It's done!

The past?!

You killed your own father, didn't you?!

You can find time for regrets later!

No, you're hopeless!

What?

In the very end, you'd betray the entire world, like it's betrayed you!

I can't let your dream be realized!

You fool! You think ideals alone can change the world?!

Then go on! Shoot me, if you're going to!

And shoot this liquid Sakuradite, too!

If my heart stops, it'll explode! You both will die with me!

Damn you!

I'll make a deal with you.

Who told you about Geass? Did they take Nunnally?!

Nothing that happens from now on is any of your business!

Your very existence is a mistake!

You have to be removed from the world! I'll take care of Nunnally!

Suzaku!

Lelouch!

Zero!

It's Lelouch!

The man who's used the Japanese people! Who's used you!

You want to defend a man like that?! You...?!

Zero... This is the end of you.

The riots in Nara, Sendai, and Fukui are under control.

A report came in from Tokyo Settlement! Princess Cornelia is injured.

Is Zero responsible?

I don't know.

If so, then I suppose Zero missed the forest for the trees.

Big brother...?

Who's there?

It's been a long time, Nunnally.

Let's have a talk once all this is done.

A long talk.

By the way, he captured him.

That's right!

The operation has failed!

Tell everyone to get out!

Get out? To where?

Underground! Or maybe overseas!

The former 17th heir to the imperial throne...

Lelouch vi Britannia.

It's been a long time, hasn't it, my son?

You... You goddamned...!

You won't use your Geass!

I have a request, Your Majesty.

Allow me to join the Knights of the Round, the 12 strongest knights in the empire!

As reward for your capturing Zero?

You...!

I told you before, Lelouch.

That I was going to change this world from inside the system.

Even if it means selling out your friends to advance?!

Yes.

Very well. I like the answer you just gave.

Well then, as a Knight of the Round, I order you.

Cover Zero's left eye.

Yes, Your Majesty.

My unworthy son, who raised the banner of rebellion although he was a prince.

Still, there is another use for him.

Wh-What?!

I will rewrite your memory.

About being Zero, about Marianne, and about Nunnally.

Impossible... Geass?!

Forget it all and become an ordinary person.

Stop! You're going to steal from me again?!

First my mother, now Nunnally?!

Charles zi Britannia engraves into you...

Stop!

A new, false set of memories!

We have good news.

Nunnally vi Britannia, who was reported missing since the Far East Incident, has been found alive.

She was being held hostage by the Kyoto group, which fell apart after the failure of the Black Rebellion.

Count Calares and Lord Kewell Soresi took her custody with cooperation from the Stadtfeld family.

So you're the latest addition to the Knights of the Round.

Yes.

I'm Suzaku Kururugi. I've received the title of Knight of Seven.

Nice to meet you.

I'm the Knight of Ten, Luciano Bradley.

I heard you were part of A.S.E.E.C., sponsored by Prince Schneizel.

Is that why you got promoted?

Or is it because you were the Massacre Princess's knight?

Lord Bradley, please mind what you say.

I'm the Knight of Three, Gino Weinberg. Nice to meet you!

I as well.

Nice to meet you.

Huh, didn't I meet you at Shikine Island?

Hey girl! You're Nina?

Y-Yes.

U-Uh, here. It's a letter of recommendation from Lloyd.

Mmhmm, I heard all about you. Prince Schneizel could use your help.

I-I'm not worthy...

Lord Kururugi.

As you're numbers-born, you'll naturally attract attention.

Please be very careful about how you act.

Understood.

How many people know about Geass?

None of the other Knights of the Round know about it.

You, me as the Knight of One, and the folks at the O.S.I. know.

Come.

Villetta Nu will take command, and Nebiros will keep an eye on Lelouch.

I met you in... E.U.?

Yes.

This time I'll be playing the role of a little brother named Rolo Lamperouge.

So you're the one with the Geass that can suspend the sensation of time?

Yes, that's me.

And your heart also stops when you're using this ability?

He's an excellent spy regardless.

Besides, his job is to observe Lelouch and see if his memory has returned.

There should be no problems.

Lord Waldstein.

Yes?

Why is it that the emperor also changed the memories of everyone at Ashford?

Some of the Black Knights took shelter in the Chinese Federation.

I don't think it's necessary to let him go back to school.

Oh? Kururugi said that?

Yes.

I gave him a reasonable explanation, but he may discover that it's a trap to lure in C.C.

I don't care about the details.

They're insignificant.

Give me the report.

No changes in Lelouch's behaviors and relationships.

He wants to get into illegal gambling, so I'll accompany him tomorrow.

There's nothing abnormal with the other students either.

Okay.

I have to leave for Europa next week.

Please report to Lord Waldstein if something comes up.

Yes, my lord.

The new Lelouch isn't the criminal he used to be.

So why can't I leave him alone?

He doesn't even know about Nunnally right now.

I am Zero!

Huh?

What the...?!

It can't be the real one, can it?

People of Japan, I have returned!

Kill the video!

I can't! It won't take my access code!

The Line Omega I set up!

And the only one who knows about it is...

Zero!

I knew you were still alive!

Hear me, Britannia!

Pay close attention, all of you who have power!

I am sad.

War and discrimination. Evil intentions brandished by the strong.

The same mistaken discharge of tragedy and comedy.

The world has not changed one bit!

And that is why I had to reawaken!

So long as the strong oppress the weak, my rebellion will continue!

Beginning with the divine punishment I brought down just now upon the foolish Viceroy Calares!

My word.

The Elevens' king sure popped back up with a vengeance. Huh, Suzaku?

Got it! The signal is originating from the Chinese Federation consulate!

The Chinese Federation's?

Seriously?

Now then, Zero perished, did he not?

Yeah.

So this chap is an imposter?

Either way, if we were to storm the consulate...

That'd be an egregious violation of the rules.

It'd cause an international incident.

As long as he's calling himself Zero, he's guilty of killing royalty.

That makes it as important as our war with E.U.

It's a slippery slope, either way.

I shall fight!

Fight all those who use power mistakenly!

Therefore

I once again here and now declare continuation of acts of justice!

Zero! Zero! Zero!

Lord Waldstein.

We're investigating if it's the same Zero from a year ago.

I can confirm if I head over right now.

You frequently rush to your answers.

Wait for the O.S.I.'s report.

What's the reason you're hiding the identity of Zero and his Geass power?

God shall die!

That is our contract.

Tell me, Charles, why did you not tell Nunnally?

About Zero's true identity. And about Geass.

It wasn't necessary for her to know.

Charles... You're still such a child.

I suppose I am... big brother.

How go things in Area 11?

I'm not sure. Even I don't know all the details.

What goes on in the outside world?

I've never set foot outside of this palace.

Your Majesty...

The Vermilion Forbidden City itself is the center of the entire world!

But...

Well then, I shall go out and see what is happening.

The truth is, I came today to say goodbye.

Oh, no! Not after you and I have become friends!

I beg your pardon, but my husband is waiting for me.

Yes. Zero's true objective...

If it's here, that could mean trouble for us.

I see. Is that why you've made preparations for me?

It is.

Thank you very much.

Is that true?

Yes.

I received word that you have been chosen as the next Viceroy of Area 11.

Then I can see Lelouch?

Absolutely not.

Prince Lelouch has a case of amnesia.

Seeing you could cause confusion.

No abnormalities?

Then who is behind that new mask?

What in the world is going on?

Zero relocated to the Chinese Federation.

Yet Lelouch is still at Ashford.

I asked Gino and Anya to help me just in case,

but I can't tell them that Lelouch might be Zero.

Good morning, Lelouch.

Th-The Knight of Six!

I say! We've been expecting you.

You are Vice-President Lamperouge, are you not? 'Tis truly an an honour to...

Lighten up, man.

Oh, why yes, of course.

Sup fam, we're the new kids here at school. Pretend like we aren't nobility while we're here, 'kay?

They said they wanted the experience of being ordinary students.

Right now, we're teaching them how to speak.

I'm looking forward to this...

My dude.

R-Right...

My, what a report.

What's up?

The marriage between Prince Odysseus and the Empress of the Chinese Federation has been called off.

The Chinese Federation has new leaders who are younger and side with the Black Knights.

This is gross!

It's miso juice containing burdock root, habanero, and apple.

It'll warm you up.

Also, they captured the Guren Flight-Enabled Version and sent it to Area 11 along with its pilot.

Give it to me!

Took you long enough. So, is it gonna be torture? An execution?

Do what you want with me!

I won't do anything like that to you.

It's been a long time, Kallen.

I've finally grabbed hold of the tail of Geass

I'll drag it out into the sunlight and wipe away the stain from Euphy's name!

A tad bit late there, Suzaku.

President Milly already graduated.

Then who's the new president?

Lelouch said no, so Rivalz took over.

I see.

By the way, has anything changed with Lelouch?

He seems the same as always.

I see. Thanks.

You were right about the Guren's pilot.

A-ha, I knew I had seen her before.

Yes, that's right, Suzaku.

The rooftop garden's finally finished.

I can't keep avoiding the real world forever.

I'm sorry. I wish I could have been there for your graduation event.

I said I understood. You have important work to do, right?

Um, y-yeah.

Well then, my last act for you will be to cast my special magic spell!

RELAX!

You have to loosen up from time to time.

Thanks for that, Prez.

See ya!

H-Hold on.

If that theory is correct, we'd be the worst criminals in history!

Let's get out of here! We're through fine-tuning Jeremiah!

But that would mean abandoning our nation...

Freeze! My dear Bartley...

That voice... Princess Cornelia?!

Why are you here?

Thank goodness! Please, save us!

We were ordered here by the emperor.

My father?

The world is on the path to destruction!

Don't worry.

There's nothing abnormal with Lelouch.

Nebiros... I've never seen you smile like that...

Hello, and how do you do?

I'm Milly Ashford!

Starting today, I'll be handling the weather corner!

Let's start with a report on that typhoon headed our way.

She goes from being the student council president to a weather report girl.

When did she get qualified?

In school. She also decided on which agency to work for.

Yeah, I saw her. Typical Prez, right?

So, what are we going to do with the rooftop garden?

Right. Well then, I'll bring back some herb seedlings from the store.

Can you ask the gardening club about it, Lulu?

Okay, later then!

This is the eighth area, correct?

Yes.

But the people affected by the Geass power have been deployed as secret police, haven't they?

Since we don't know, we're cleaning it up.

You've been given a Geass Canceler, which can destroy all types of Geass power.

Therefore...

Understood.

We may not know who is under the control of Geass,

but once I'm done with Ashford Academy, I can take care of Lelouch.

I remember

Lulu is probably a member of the Black Knights.

Wait, what about Nunna? She's the viceroy...

You are one of Lelouch's friends, are you not?

I remember seeing you in the files.

Um... I don't know anything! I really don't!

That's fine.

(What Orange really means to say here is: 1) Don't go running off into a building with a gun. 2) Stay away from Rolo. In fact, if you see Rolo, just fucking shoot him. 3) If you find a guy named Mao who claps a lot and can read minds, shoot him too. But shoot him with the intention of killing him or Britannian medical science might save him. 4) Don't be near the epicenter of the Tokyo Settlement after Nina develops her pink nuclear bomb thing. 5) Get away from Mt. Fuji after Lelouch becomes Emperor. Seriously Shirley you're the Matt Damon of Code Geass. They made 3 recap movies to save you. My official comment is that im too old to comment on anime now Don't go sniffing around now that your memories are back or you might get yourself killed.

Killed?

Please stay safe. Those siblings have already been through so much.

I had a hunch, Jeremiah.

You've been worried about Marianne's children, haven't you?

Now, go find Lelouch.

Then I'll finally know if Lelouch is Zero or not.

And I'll know where C.C. is!

Are you even doing your job, Rolo?

What does V.V. think of the current Zero?

He told me about the Geass and took me to Kamine Island with Lord Jeremiah.

Isn't he responsible for keeping the power in check?

Forget it.

I see.

V.V. and the emperor have their own plan.

I'm just a pawn in their grand scheme.

I have no choice.

I'll have to confront Lelouch myself to find out.

Suzaku!

When did you get back from E.U?

Just now.

Is Lelouch inside?

Yeah.

Huh?

Oh, you should've called if you were coming over.

What's wrong?

I see.

You don't know this sign.

Where is Lelouch Lamperouge?

There's nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm asking about his location!

Where are Commander Villetta and Rolo?

Again, there's nothing out of the ordinary.

Nothing unusual here.

I see.

You're all under his Geass.

I'm sorry, Master Lelouch.

Don't worry about it.

It was all thanks to you that we kept it a secret for this long, Sayoko.

Thank you for buying time.

I'm prepared to destroy V.V.

Big brother, I can go kill Suzaku Kururugi right now.

Britannia isn't acting on this.

I don't know why, but Suzaku must not have reported it yet.

Leave him be for now.

When something happens, I'll need your help.

Can I count on you, Rolo?

Yeah.

Also, here.

It's a little early, but I got you a birthday gift.

This is for you.

Thanks, big brother!

Ready your squad, Kinoshita.

Once Rolo opens the gate, we're going in.

You're in charge of the assault.

Yes, sir.

You're such an evil man.

You've got Rolo wrapped around your finger.

He wanted to be useful to me, so I'm letting him do that.

He should thank me if anything.

It's better than taking advantage of people's relationships like I did with Villetta.

Relationships, huh?

Something wrong?

No.

It's just that if you had revealed your identity to me from the start, I would've gladly joined your side.

We're used to dealing with the unexpected.

But Lelouch, you need to be more careful.

I'm not some Get Out of Jail Free card.

Protecting your memories was no easy feat.

I wouldn't want to be kissed every time either.

Especially by a woman who didn't tell me about the emperor's Geass.

You never asked.

Besides, I didn't give Charles the power. It was V.V.

Master Lelouch, I don't know what V.V.'s objective is, but he seems to see you as a nuisance.

Which means...

Yeah.

He could be prepared for our attack.

I never would have guessed that you were a princess, Nunnally.

Forgive me for lying to you.

Same from me.

It's so nostalgic, talking about Ashford Academy.

They told me I wasn't to see Milly and the others,

so Suzaku is the only one I've been able to talk to.

They also tell me that my big brother has gone missing.

What sort of brother was Lelouch to you?

I used to have a big brother, too, so

I'm happy just to be able to talk about him...

Did C.C. remove the emperor's Geass from Lelouch?

This is unforgivable.

I can't believe she freed his power of absolute obedience to the world.

And Lelouch...

You lied to me again.

And even to Nunnally!

Lelouch!

Commander Kinoshita, something's wrong here!

Is this really a Britannian military installation?

No one here is to be considered innocent!

Zero...

Britannia has been colluding with traitors in the Chinese Federation.

They're doing research and experimentation on immortal soldiers here!

I will not allow these abominations to live!

The researchers and their data are to be wiped out!

We don't know where they have their experimental subjects hidden!

Therefore, encircle point alpha-7!

Destroy everything! Burn it to the ground!

Any possible experimental subjects found

are all to be sealed inside the high pressure cases!

I will verify them myself!

Haven't you found Princess Cornelia yet?!

We have to use this chance to save...

That man... Wasn't he working with Clovis?

Lady C.C.!

You've come back to us!

Please save us, Lady C.C.!

P-Prince Clovis...

The eternally young and immortal woman you wished to present to His Majesty...

It would seem he already knew of her existence.

P-Please forgive me...

We should never have involved ourselves with her...

What?!

The Siegfried!

Impossible!

Jeremiah! Isn't that unit...?!

Right. Since it works via direct electrical nerve connection,

the only person besides me who can use it is...

V.V.!

I'm surprised.

You've switched from an observer to a player.

So your memories are back, Lelouch.

You're just like Marianne.

He's using the Siegfried of all things, here?!

Get out of here! It's you he's after!

Oh?

Hold it right there, V.V.!

Please, just surrender.

What do you think you're saying? Traitors!

V.V., I'll tear you out of that thing!

All forces, commence attack!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Marianne's son may be getting carried away!

That machine was made to let me show my loyalty!

Jeremiah, I thought you hated Zero.

I did! I thought he'd denied me the ability to do my duty.

But when I learned who he was, I saw I should serve him, for Lady Marianne's sake!

Even you! You dare speak that name in front of me?!

Send out all remaining units!

It looks like that monster outside is being piloted by their director.

Rolo! Can you grab onto the Siegfried somehow?

But I can't use my Geass on V.V.

You just have to grab onto him. I have a plan after you do that.

Okay, I'll try.

Rolo... It's time to part with you, my ridiculous fake little brother.

With the bomb I planted on the Vincent!

I have to try! For big brother's sake!

And now it's Rolo. You've lied to me too, haven't you?

Even knowing your Geass won't work on me.

Ah!

Director V.V., we've finished preparations to escape.

Shall we head to the E.U. area for now?

Right. I'll rendezvous with you after I've finished things here.

It's clear how to capture C.C. now.

If we escape, then Charles and I win.

I just have to grab on!

You're a failed project, aren't you?

After all, your heart stops when you use your Geass.

You're a defective experiment we expected to die at any moment!

Not yet! If I jettison them, then...!

Oh?

I've done it, big brother!

Well done, Rolo! Now I must bid you farewell.

Who? Who could know to attack the Siegfried's weak point?

So, your name is V.V.?

And you're the director of this organization?

Forgive me, big brother!

No, don't worry about it.

I never expected Cornelia to be here!

The Siegfried's shields are down! Now, we just need to hit it directly!

For Euphy's vengeance, you shall perish here!

The source

of Geass itself!

It... It's no use! The Siegfried is finished!

Lelouch! You accursed prince!

Your Highness!

Lelouch... How dare you?!

I'm glad you came, Charles.

In the end, siblings are all you can count on, huh?

Big brother, is it true you tuned Jeremiah in secret?

What are you talking about?

More importantly, I learned that Lelouch is Zero.

He's been lying.

And you lied to me again, big brother.

Chigusa.

That was the name you called me when I had lost my memory.

My real name is...

Villetta.

But to me, you'll always be

I am a baron of Britannia.

No matter what the reason, if I don't erase the disgrace of my having loved an Eleven, people will use it to threaten my position.

I know.

If it has to be this way, I wished I could have died in Japan.

You came here knowing I was going to kill you?

Because if I have to die, I want to at least choose when it'll happen.

You could also kill me if you wanted to.

Why did a terrorist even save a Britannian soldier in the first place?!

At first, I thought I could get information about Zero from you.

I tricked you, kept you under surveillance...

But, while we lived together

I'm your enemy!

But I still love you!

Are you insane?!

Yes, you're the enemy. Yes, it may be crazy...

But I've fallen in love with you!

I wish I'd never met you!

You! From the intelligence division!

I see.

Deputy Commander Ohgi...

Yes.

I'll submit a report to Master Zero as well.

No, I'll take care of this myself.

We shouldn't bother Zero with internal affairs.

He needs to focus on taking Britannia down.

Forgive me. I had to talk to Nunnally.

It's all right. We're not ready to start yet.

What happened?

Oh, you know, Lloyd and the others in Camelot are developing new Knightmares.

No, Highness, I meant with the Tromo Agency.

That... depends on the results of today's test.

Yes. Schneizel contacted me from the homeland.

It looks like we'll be able to raise Area 11's status to satellite area.

He said it's in recognition of the stabilized public order and higher productivity.

That's good news.

Lelouch must have been Zero all this time.

But if I report that to the emperor, what will happen to Nunnally?

If Lelouch regains his memories, then I shall use Nunnally.

Suzaku, you aren't hiding anything from me, are you?

Of course not. You're the one person I'd never lie to, Nunnally.

What?!

When did I get out of the Shinkiro?

And where am I? It isn't a hologram.

Correct!

And Knightmares are such inelegant things.

Especially in the face of this system: The Sword of Akasha!

You...!

Lelouch, my son! The time has come at last!

The time for redemption!

Answer the question I asked you eight years ago!

Why didn't you protect Mother?!

Even knowing how the other members of royalty ostracized her!

People are not equal.

What?!

You have Geass, a power which no one else possesses.

Use that power to get the answer from me!

He's baiting me. Inviting me to use my Geass on him. But...

What's wrong?

You call yourself my son?

You call yourself a prince of Britannia?

I don't have time to choose a lame order.

That's right! These were Zero's orders!

Search through all of the facilities! Obey Zero's orders!

Gather all of the dead in the designated area.

We're going to verify if any of the Britannian experimental soldiers are among them.

This is... a massacre!

Bartley... I hated you for reconstructing me with this body.

But your loyalty to the imperial family was genuine.

Then I must make up my mind!

I will honour you!

Lelouch vi Britannia commands you! Die!

Very well, then.

I won?

I won.

Nunnally... Mother...

I... I

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

How many years has it been since we were together face to face, V.V.?

In the end, I couldn't run away from my destiny, could I?

I will shoulder... this destiny...

The destiny of immortality...

What's...?

V.V., are you...?

So please, Charles...

Because... I am... your big brother.

I killed him. It was so easy.

There were things I wanted to ask him.

People I wanted to make him apologize to!

But now...

Oh? To whom?

You're an impudent child, Lelouch!

You're alive?!

Impossible! You shot your own heart!

Schemes, plots, surprise attacks...

You really thought you could defeat me with those cheap tricks?

Come at me as a true king would! If you wish to inherit the power of the king!

Die!

You call that the way of royalty?!

My Geass isn't working!

Don't you understand, Lelouch?!

I am beyond the power of guns or swords!

No matter what you use against me will be useless!

Charles, why steal V.V.'s Code now?

Why would you kill the older brother you loved so much?

V.V... You loved Marianne too, didn't you?

He's become immortal, too?!

I can't win. There's no way I can win!

I've gained a new power in place of my Geass.

And so, Lelouch, I shall now show you.

The true nature of this world!

What is this?!

What is this place?! What are you up to?!

How strange.

A child who's covered with lies desires the truth from others.

What?

There's no need to tell lies.

It's true. In this entire world, there is only a need for single person.

Only one is all we need.

What are you talking about?

Charles.

Playtime is over.

There's nothing in it for me now.

C.C.?

You don't have to cajole him like this to call me here.

I already exist here.

True enough, C.C.

I shall grant your wish, then.

You know what C.C.'s wish is?!

Lelouch... It's time you knew the conditions of our contract and what my wish is.

I wish to die.

To end my existence forever.

End it? But, you're...!

In the final stage of Geass,

the user attains the position of one who can grant the power.

In other words, you gain the power to kill me.

To... kill you?

Not one of the many people I made contracts with ever reached that stage.

But now we have Charles here, who has.

This can't be! You made your contract with me so that you could die?!

Correct.

You were living just so that you could die?

That is where the providence of this world lies.

Life is defined by its limits.

That's wrong! We call it life because we're alive!

It's the same thing. We can acknowledge life because death exists.

That's just wordplay!

Even so, people do die.

Then what's the reason people are born into this world?! The meaning!

You know perfectly well! Those things are just illusions.

Living just to die is too sad to even consider!

Endless accumulation of it without death can't be called a life.

That's just experiences.

If you have a reason for living, then kill me.

Do that, and you'll be Charles's equal. You will gain the power to fight.

Farewell, Lelouch.

You're just too kindhearted.

Wait! You're.

Charles, why did you steal V.V.'s Code?

Is there any point to asking questions now?

After all, you're about to die.

I suppose not.

The people who hated me, the ones who were kind to me...

All of them eventually vanished in the flow of time.

In the endless flow of time...

But now, those days of torment...

Yes. Now it ends. My long journey...

C.C.!

You've opened the Thought Elevator, Lelouch!

Now I understand! This area of space itself is a system for disrupting thought!

Soon it will be over.

Lelouch, sit where you are and watch!

Stop it! She's my... my...!

Answer me, C.C.!

Why didn't you try to die by making me take your place?

You could have forced me to accept the hell of eternal life!

Did you pity me, C.C.?!

Don't die looking like that! When death comes, die smiling!

I promise, I'll make you smile! So, please!

What do you think you're doing, C.C.?!

You think I'll let you steal any more from me?!

Does your foolishness know no bounds?!

C.C.!

Let's get out of this place!

We'll trap the emperor in here!

Tell me your wish when we get out. Your real wish!

Hey! Look at me!

Activation of F.L.E.I.J.A., confirmed.

It worked.

I can't believe the explosive force generated!

Congratulations, Chief!

Oh, no. This is the result of the entire staff at Invogue.

You should be proud, Nina.

You are a genius.

I'm honoured, Prince Schneizel.

Now mankind... War itself will change!

Now can come Damocles!

Hey! We've come back, C.C.! Wake up!

I've contacted Rolo. We'll use him to get out of here soon.

Um, who are you, sir?

What are you talking about? Anyway, about the emperor and that system...

Are you my new master?

I can help prepare food for cooking and can clean.

I can fetch water and tend cows and sheep. And sew.

I can read a little and I can count to twenty.

And... I can also tend corpses, if you wish...

We're coming to you over Horai Island.

The ratification ceremony for the U.F.N. charter is about to begin.

I see. You hid her inside the Sutherland's cockpit.

Please forgive me, Lord Lelouch.

You ordered me to destroy everyone, but killing a member of the Britannian royal family was just...

Forget it.

Rather, I should say, well done.

Lelouch... What is it you seek with that accursed power?

Cornelia... All I wish to do is save my little sister.

You dare to say that!

As everyone watching this broadcast has seen,

all 47 nations have just ratified the U.F.N. charter. Coming up next...

Lord Guilford, we've finished preparations for your review of the troops.

Right. On my way.

What? If it's about the troop review...

Lord Guilford.

Orange?

Finally, article 17 of the U.F.N. charter.

All ratifying nations to the united states charter

do hereby abandon native military power forever.

To guarantee the security of each member nation instead,

we contract that to the Black Knights,

a fighting force not affiliated with any one country.

This contract has been accepted.

We will take funding and personnel from the U.F.N.

In return, we will become the shield to defend every member nation

and the sword to oppose any external foe!

The source of disturbances in the world is the possession of military power by disparate nations.

The U.F.N. shall only use military force according to a resolution by the supreme council.

And so, I shall put forward our first motion.

The land of the people of the United States of Japan

continues to be held in an unjust occupation by a foreign power.

I wish to request that the Black Knights be dispatched.

All those in favour, please rise.

By overwhelming majority, under U.F.N. Resolution number 1,

the Black Knights shall be dispatched to liberate Japan.

Very well!

Under U.F.N. Resolution number 1, our first operational objective shall be...

Japan!

Zero!

What?!

We've been hacked?!

It's coming in from 14 routes!

Use the auxiliary lines! Cut the link!

We can't! They've gotten into the auxiliaries as well!

Zero... You thought you could get the jump on me?

Impossible! How did he get out of there?!

Still, I don't mind.

E.U., which once comprised a third of the world, is already dead.

All this annoying charter you've created does

is differentiate Britannia from the rest of the world on a map.

I'm just being simple and clear about this.

After all, whoever succeeds in this battle shall control the world.

So, very well, Zero. Have at me.

Will you win everything or lose everything?

That is the essential nature of war.

All hail Britannia! All hail Britannia!

Long live Japan!

Long live...

Japan!

All hail Britannia! All hail Britannia!

Long live Japan! Long live Japan! Long live Japan!

The emperor is still alive?!

Um, excuse me. Welcome back.

This isn't good.

I have to rescue Nunnally at once. At once!

I could play the Cornelia card...

No. Hostages would have no effect on him.

Maybe use Rolo and Jeremiah... No, I can't!

Geass doesn't work on him now!

Do I reveal to the world that Zero is actually Lelouch?

But if I reveal that their leader is an enemy prince, the Black Knights will fall apart!

Even if I rescue Nunnally,

it'll be meaningless if there's no country that would accept us!

Dammit, what do I do?!

Um, here. I saved this piece for you, master.

I don't think you had any breakfast today.

Um, please take it...

Shut up!

Hey...

Forgive me! I'll clean it up at once!

No, forget that! You're bleeding.

What? I'm fine.

This happens to me all the time. I'm fine.

Yes?

Suzaku?

Lelouch?

Um, yeah. Have you seen the news?

Yeah. Now Area 11 will become a battlefield again.

The Tokyo Settlement will be in danger again too, won't it?

That depends on what you decide.

Lelouch... Are you Zero?

Yes. I am Zero.

So, what does an enemy of Britannia want with me?

I'm begging you. Please, save Nunnally!

The emperor is using Nunnally as a hostage to pin me down.

That's why I had no choice but to operate in secret!

Please, Suzaku! You're the only person left I can ask this of!

You think your requests mean anything to me at this point?!

No, I don't. But you're the only one I can ask!

How selfish.

I know. But you're all I have.

All I have!

Please! Nunnally... Nunnally...

Please, protect her!

Are we going to stay in another house?

It's another of the Kururugi's houses.

We're headed for the main family house this time.

Keep walking, Suzaku.

But...

Keep walking.

What's that strange smell?

We're near a garbage dump. Right, Suzaku?

Suzaku, what's wrong?

I... I...!

Nunnally...

My mother taught me that a warm touch is good for tears.

Just call me Euphy.

Tomorrow's the day we open up the special administrative zone of Nippon.

Suzaku!

Suzaku!

Yeah, I know.

As Euphy's knight, I know what must be done.
