Original subtitles

The Japan Liberation Front.

In order to crush the largest insurgent group in Area 11,

Viceroy Cornelia undertook an operation to encircle the Narita mountains.

The Britannian forces pride themselves on their overwhelming supremacy,

and just as they thought they had their enemy beaten...

the Black Knights made their move.

Using the Guren Mk-II's radiant wave surger,

they caused the underground water veins to explode all at once.

The mountain crumbled.

Both the Japan Liberation Front and the main Britannian forces...

were engulfed in the mud and rushing water.

Cornelia's unit had lost most of its forces and was now isolated.

Aiming for a turnabout, Zero led the Black Knights to go after Cornelia.

In their heart, everyone has faith that their victory exists.

However, in the face of time and destiny,

the act of faith is fruitless, and fleeting at best.

The moment when I might be able... Jibun wo sekai sae mo

To change myself and even the world Kaete shimae sou na shunkan wo

It's always right there at my side Itsumo sugu soba ni

Even as I stood still, looking at myself Kakusenu iradachi to

With undisguised frustration Tachitsukusu jibun wo mitsume

Feeling lost, feeling anguished Mayoi nagara nayami nagara

Feeling mournful, deciding what to do Kuyami nagara kimerba ii sa

All it took was a single word from you Kimi ga kureta kotoba hitotsu

And my uncertainty vanished Tomadoi wa kiesari

You let the light shine into what was my empty room Karappo datta boku no heya ni hikari ga sashita

The sky I had been looking up at... Miageta oozora ga

Cleared and turned blue Aoku sumikitte yuku

And I decided to throw open... Tozashita mado wo hiraku

The windows that were kept closed Koto kimeta

The moment when I might be able... Jibun wo sekai sae mo

To change myself and even the world Kaete shimae sou na shunkan wo

I feel it right here with me Kanjiru ima koko ni

BATTLE FOR NARITA

What do our losses look like?!

I only read signals from 20 percent of our forces.

20 percent?!

Our command structure can't hold up like this!

This is Marceau unit! I can't raise Gen. Alex!

It looks like the second division has been wiped out!

Mr. Lloyd, what's going on?!

Yes. Quite unnatural, I should say.

Unnatural?

It's unconfirmed, but there are reports that the Black Knights have appeared.

Zero!

Congratulations! We may get our turn.

Mr. Lloyd!

That's reckless!

Oh? Why is that?

Shall I tell you why, sir?

No. Spare me, please.

Anyway, until the high command gets all the information,

we're stuck trying to figure out how to react, right?

Is the viceroy all right?

She was outside the slide flow, so that's no problem.

but since the units securing her rear moved in, now she's practically isolated.

What the hell are those Purebloods doing?!

C'mon, move!

I'm losing to an Eleven!

A proud Britannian!

Sir Kewell!

Right! Guren, head to your designated area!

The remaining force here will go after Cornelia!

Right!

Gotcha!

We're gonna pull this off!

Defend this position at all costs!

Sugiyama! You okay?!

Y-Yeah...

Dammit! Get them!

That's right, move!

If you survive this battle, you will become true warriors!

And after you do!

The Purebloods are holding them off?

Yes, sir! Under Lady Viletta's command!

Then this is our chance! Get the viceroy back here! Send the air force for support!

Wait! Something's approaching the viceroy from behind!

All units, are you ready?

Yes, sir!

All right. Deploy the Burai Customs.

Moving out!

Am I clear? If this landslide was manmade,

I think we can take Cornelia from behind.

Capture Cornelia!

Right now, we'll pay them back for what happened 7 years ago!

Yes, sir! By the honor of the Four Holy Swords!

What?!

Protect Her Highness!

Surround them!

The Japan Liberation Front?!

Slash and Encircle formation!

Wilco!

Don't assume these are just any Burais.

It reminds me of 7 years ago.

It's different now. This time, we have Knightmares!

Highness, leave them to us! Please, withdraw for now!

Very well. I have an idea of how to turn this around, Guilford.

Right!

Once you fend them off, meet me at point 9!

9? Understood!

Cornelia!

Weaklings!

All right! Keep this up and nail down! ero!

C'mon, maybe we should ask for Kallen to get back here.

We can't! If we change our arrangement, the plan falls apart!

Even so, this doesn't look good.

If this keeps up, we may have to take on her royal guard.

! ero! They're saying Cornelia's under attack from beneath!

What? Which team made the move?

It's not our people! It looks like it's the J.L.F!

Did one of them here figure out what I'm after?

Clever.

Then they'll hold off the royal guard for us!

Sorry we're late, General!

Tohdoh! We've been waiting for you!

Sir, please send all the forces you have to my position.

Can we still beat them?

If we can hold off the main Britannian force, we'll win!

We have a chance right now to turn the entire war around!

I'd heard there was someone in Area 11 with the abilities of a general and a knight...

Can this be him? Tohdoh?!

Even so, he's no match for me!

Dammit! At a time like this!

What do we do?!

Fall back!

Somehow or another, we have to link up with Princess Cornelia!

But sir, the enemy's main base is right in front of us!

And if we take an attack from behind, the damage will be enormous!

You fool! If the princess is lost, the battle's all over!

Y- Yes, my lord!

Sub-Viceroy Euphemia, we must charge in with G1 and save the viceroy!

No!

But, with even Commander Guilford pinned down, Viceroy Cornelia's life is in danger!

We can't!

There's also a field hospital set up here!

Not to mention civilians who have evacuated from around the area!

Besides, this G1 base represents our main headquarters!

The viceroy specifically ordered me not to move it, no matter what! That's why... Why!

Hi there! Advanced Special-Envoy Engineering Corps, at your service!

How dare you!

You irregulars should be quiet and stick to observing!

Um, yes sir, normally we would, but...

But all this waiting around with nothing to do is getting to us.

Sub-Viceroy Euphemia.

I beg of you, please order us into combat!

How transparent! You just want the glory of rescuing the viceroy!

If just one machine could change the situation, no one would be having any trouble!

Besides, with a Number at the controls?!

So? What's the harm in letting us try?

If we fail, it won't reflect badly on you, will it?

Are you listening?

Euphy...? Are you listening?

Understood. Please do it.

All right!

Thank you so much!

Right! I swear I'll do it!

Dammit, you're good!

Scatter!

Colonel! What about Cornelia?

If Zero's the man I think he is, he's got a plan!

All we can do now is trust him!

What?!! ero has fallen back?

Right. We're en route to give you support!

Zero comes first! Give me his location!

Y- Yes, sir! This is! ero's projected course.

Oh, hell.

The Black Knights are headed to where she intended to lead Tohdoh and the others!

Princess Cornelia!

I hear you, Guilford.

Advanced prototype weapon! -01 Lancelot,

you will use sand boards to climb the liquefied slope at maximum combat speed.

Rescue the viceroy!

Yes, my lord!

Suzaku, there's one thing I wanted to ask you.

Yes, sir?

You hate having people die more than anything,

And yet you're in the military. Why is that?

I'm in the military because I don't want people to die.

Contradictions like that are going to get you killed someday.

Sorry! Sorry!

Lancelot, launching.

CORNELIA!!!

Lowborn scum!

What the?! That's not just a customized machine, is it?

Are you listening, Cornelia?

This is already a checkmate.

Zero?!

Yes. Perhaps we should celebrate our reunion.

However, before we do, I'd like you to please surrender to us.

There are some things I'd like to ask you, as well.

Incidentally, your reinforcements won't make it here in time.

I win, Cornelia.

Don't be a fool, Zero.

This one...

If I just destroy this one, I open my path of escape!

You're a clever one!

You dishonorable! You'd shoot me from behind?!

Oh? Then wasn't your own plan dishonorable at heart?

They launched a pincer attack before we could regroup!

There's no way I'll reach Her Highness now!

Colonel, we've eliminated the enemy reinforcements!

All right! Team, switch to Rotating Absolute Power formation!

Wilco!

At this rate, Princess Cornelia will be!

Guilford.

Guilford, my knight...

I want you and Darlton to assist Euphy.

Your Highness!

I refuse to surrender.

As an imperial princess, I will fight to my last breath!

Princess Cornelia!

What a foolish choice.

As reckless as ever, I see.

Using the V.A.R.I.S. to clear the obstacles between him and them.

Viceroy, are you all right?! I came to help!

A.S.E.E.C? But who authorized you?

Still, she's saved. That Lancelot should be able to handle this.

Hey, isn't that Knightmare!

Yeah. The one from Shinjuku and Lake Kawaguchi.

Again... He's interfering again!

Guren Mk-II, destroy the White Helmet!

That thing's breakthrough power is getting to be a nuisance!

Right!

You handle that thing! I'll take out Zero!

Here's where you pay for Shinjuku!

Is it possible?! It's as fast as Lancelot?!

If I can just take down this thing!

That weapon won't work!

It stopped it!

Hey! Are you okay?!

Y- Yeah.

Ohgi! How's the Guren?!

The right hand's busted. We need to repair it.

Retreat!

All units, move to the escape point!

At this rate, it'll turn into a war of attrition. Retreat!

Viceroy!

Go after Zero!

But...

My energy filler's just drained! Now go!

Right!

Hey, should we really just quit like this?

We've definitely won here, but we're at our limit.

In other words, all we can do is let the J.L.F. play decoy and run, right?

I don't like putting it like that, but...

Yeah...

People aren't just chess pawns.

I doubt even Zero thinks like that.

Otherwise, he'll end up using even us as pawns

But that's impossible.

His anger against Britannia is genuine.

I think a person who knows anger also knows what sadness is like.

Calling A.S.E.E.C. head trailer. Zero sighted. Proceeding with capture.

CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion

! ero, I owe you a debt.

Your actions have saved people,

and I know a lot of Elevens are now secretly working with you.

But still, your methods...

They're wrong!

Th- That's!

Can that be? The girl from the capsule in Shinjuku?

Stop! You mustn't harm this man!

C. C!

She's working with Zero?

Wait! What are you doing?! That's a Knightmare you're challenging!

I can't afford to let you die.

It'll be indirect contact, but it's still worth a try.

Father...

This is impossible. You should be dead.

No! I didn't mean to! I just... I just!

Hey! Why are you giving that pilot Geass?!

I'm just feeding him a shock image.

I don't know what he's seeing, though.

Anyway, use this chance to get away!

What about you?

I can't move now. Leave me!

Are you kidding? Not while I owe you a debt...

No, not now!

What's? This isn't what I saw before.

Wha?! That's!

S- Stop it!

Stay... out... of my... mind!

Stop it... Why?

You're... opening me...

It was all I could do!

Wh... What was all that just now?!

Idiot! Escape while you have the chance!

C. C!

Hurry... and run!

Damn you!

Don't follow!

Zero's actions are unclear.

All we can do is rendezvous with the general and help him escape.

Your Highness! I'm coming now!

Guilford, relay this message to all units.

"Prepare to retreat."

There's no reason to waste the lives of any more soldiers.

Maintain current battle status and slowly fall back.

We have to face facts. We've lost this one.

You see? It's all Britannia can do just to take on the Liberation Front!

Yeah.

They definitely gave us the chance we needed to escape.

Hey, where's Zero? I can't raise his Burai.

You don't think he's been captured, do you?

Is this girl human or not?

The speed with which she recovers from wounds isn't normal.

She was definitely shot in the head back in Shinjuku.

Clovis was experimenting on her privately,

so she must not be related to Britannia.

Her vital signs are the same as a human's.

I could analyze her blood later. Maybe I should get photos of her wounds, too.

Hm? What?

You finally called me by my name.

So, in the end, Zero remains at large.

The J.L.F. were able to push against our defense line and slipped away in the confusion.

How annoying. They always use something as a shield to hide behind.

And what about Kururugi?

He's been recovered.

He had to wait for his energy filler to run out and immobilize him.

Had to wait? Was there a problem with his machine?

Possibly. It appears he lost control of it.

That's a typical failure of my brother's forces.

I removed the shrapnel and cleaned the wound.

That wasn't necessary.

So it would seem.

That's why there was no point in your saving me.

Your pride always gets in the way at the most inopportune moments.

Thanks to it, I know something interesting now.

It's your name, isn't it?

That's a bad habit. You eavesdrop?

It's a nice name, isn't it?

Much more human than "C.C.," right?

Oh, how ridiculous. Like I need to be more human.

After all, I... I...

I've forgotten... Everything.

All that I knew.

What use have I for a name now? What use... for a name?!

Since this is a good opportunity, I'll tell you something.

Yes. You saved me earlier.

As you did before, with the Geass you gave me.

And so...

I'm only going to say this once.

Thank you.

No one's ever thanked me before.

Well then, can you show your thanks to me?

Call me by it, like you did before.

Oh, that name, you mean?

Just this once. Like you treasure it, with tenderness in your heart.

I suppose... if I must.

Satisfied?

Wrong. It was all wrong.

Not tender enough. There was no honesty or sympathy in it.

You pronounced it strangely and it lacked warmth, too.

You're a picky girl!

Indeed, that's why I go by C. C...

Another soldier?!

No wonder our forces fell apart!

I'm not Orange...

ZERO!!!

Looks like our ride's here.

Zero! Are you okay? The other members went on ahead...

Who's that?!

You needn't worry.

She's a very important friend of mine.

C.C., I don't know why snow is white,

but I do think that white snow is pretty.

I don't dislike it.

I see.

Walking along the animal path Yukedomo kemonomichi

Roaring with the lions and tigers Shishi yo tora yo to hoe

Paradise lying far across a sky dyed red Akane sasu sora no kanata ni mahoroba

To a youth wandering, imprisoned in loneliness Yuushuu no kodoku ni samayou seishun wa

Are weakness and hatred shapeless enemies? Yowasa to ikari ga sugata naki teki desu ka

Oh father, I am still... Chichi yo mada ware wa

Learning who I am Onore wo shirigatashi

As I pursue the backs I no longer see Sakidatsu anira no

Of the elder brothers who have gone before me Mienai senaka wo oeba

In the night I spend lost Mayoi no hitoyo ni

The morning star beckons to me Myoujou wa izanau

This will not end in my death Shi shite owaranu

I long for my dream Yume wo kogaredomo

My faith in you sustains my life Tashika na kimi koso waga inochi

In the windswept wilderness Reppu no kouya de

Living with the butterflies and flowers Chou yo hana yo to iki

Blooming together in a mirage of eternal Spring Tokoshie no haru ni sakisou maboroshi

If my purity seems muddied Kondaku no junketsu

And my body seems filthy Kono mi wa yogoretemo

Please believe in the finery within my heart Kokoro no nishiki wo shinjiteite kudasai

Oh mother, I will show no tears Haha yo kesshite ware wa namida wo misene domo

They vanish like... Ashimoto no

The dew in the grass beneath my feet Kusa ni tsuyu wa kiemosede

I still lack it. That "something" that will let me drive Cornelia to the wall.

I have a feeling what's needed to make up this deficit is myself.

There's something within me I have to overcome.

And the Black Knights... They have to proceed to the next stage.

Yes. And if it's necessary, I'll even!

THE MESSENGER FROM KYOTO Yes. And if it's necessary, I'll even!
