"CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion III -Glorification-"

I see. And you left C.C. on the Ikaruga?

Yeah. Whether it's memory loss or regression, I don't know,

but she is in no condition for me to take her anywhere.

What should we do about Guilford?

There are so many uses for him, but as things stand will be fine.

Also, as far as Xing-ke goes, does he appear to have any personal ambitions?

He is a loyal knight.

We will not conspire to rule without his master, the empress.

Good. Then we'll adopt Diethard's suggestion,

split our numbers into Xing-ke's force and Tohdoh's force,

and move to take back Japan.

Understood.

Why is Master Lelouch going out on his own?

He said that he was fragmenting the Tokyo Settlement

and the defense network around it with his Geass.

Jeremiah, could my brother be trying to bring Nunnally back here?

That is what the Black Knights and the United Federation of Nations is for.

If it comes to it, having you charge into the government bureau

and rescue her is another possible course of action.

At the end of the world

The light that's born

Now blows in the wind

"CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion III -Glorification-"

Pretty words alone won't sustain you

He uses it to lead the Black Knights and stage a revolt against his native land. Kindness alone won't heal you

As many others flock to the symbol of Zero, and they begin to share a common dream, his sister,

Nunnally, remains within Britannia's clutches. What is it that you hear

As Lelouch, and not as his symbol, to rescue his sister." Everything is bright

Let our crumbled dreams resound

At the edge of tomorrow

At the end of the world

The light that's born

Becomes one with us

Now blows in the wind

First zone fleet staging proceeding on schedule.

Second zone proceeding three minutes behind schedule.

Integrated command network Shen Qi Chen

switching to Status Fennu in 30 seconds.

First brigade of Knightmares, prepare to move out. Repeat...

Field Marshall Xing-ke, we have received word

from Captain Minami on the Ikaruga that the detached force is ready to go.

Good. Once our main force hits Britannia in eastern China,

we'll head for the shores of Kyushu.

"Black Knights Main Base - Horai Island"

I came alone, as I promised. Now, what's the meaning of this, Jeremiah?

"Area 11 - Atami Bayside" What is it about Princess Cornelia's whereabouts

which you can only tell to me?

"Area 11 - Kyushu Block - Kagoshima Settlement"

This is already Britannian territory.

Don't let a single soldier land here!

The enemy has fallen for our plan!

They should be shorthanded toward the south.

Get our landing forces on the ground!

Enemy forces headed for Yamaguchi!

Garcia team, wiped out!

Damn the Black Knights! How could they have gotten so strong?!

We thought we could maintain our absolute territorial defense line,

but after what Xing-ke did to us in the Battle of the East China Sea...

Don't panic!

As long as we can defend Area 11,

then the imperial armies led by Prince Odysseus and the others

will rush into the U.F.N. territory.

All of the other Knights of the Round are also deployed on the front line.

Or, to put it another way, if Japan is liberated,

then the other Britannian colony areas will spring into action one after another.

It will redraw the map of the world!

In short...

...this is the decisive battle.

Deploy Hong Gu's unit into the left wing!

Prepare for the second charge.

You are Xing-ke, are you not, sir?

Rumor has it that you are a child prodigy.

Knight of One!

This should be good! I invite you to fight me!

Behold Excalibur!

The holy sword named by His Majesty himself!

You came alone?

I promised I would.

I'm surprised you made it here.

There were 31 routes I could take, depending on the circumstances.

Especially with Britannia being so loose with the routes related to the royal family--

That's not what I meant, Lelouch.

I'm surprised you had the nerve to show your face in front of me.

That's what I meant.

"Kururugi Shrine" Then why did you also come here alone? After what you did?

To Nunnally. About Geass. About Zero.

Nothing's worse.

Some friend you were. You were betraying me all along!

Not just me. Everyone on the student council, too. And Nunnally.

E-Even Euphy!

Why didn't you tell me you were Zero?

I helped to get you transferred during your court martial, right?

I was planning to reveal myself to you back then, if you had joined us.

But then...

Are you sure about this, Tohdoh? Just sitting here?

We still haven't received word from Zero.

But now that the Knights of the Round have joined the battle,

even Field Marshal Xing-ke won't be a match.

Have faith in Zero.

I can't! Not after he brought Orange

and that Rolo guy into our ranks without any discussion!

Don't you think he has too many secrets and acts too arbitrarily?

Like taking Kinoshita for that secret mission before!

We need Zero's abilities now!

Haven't we discussed this over and over with Ohgi and the others?

Then what about once Japan is liberated?

What happens then?

I want to know for sure.

Did you use your Geass on Euphy?

Yes.

You made her massacre the Japanese?

I ordered her to.

Why would you use your Geass like that? Answer me!

To motivate the Japanese.

If the Specially Administrated Zone of Nippon had been established,

the Black Knights would have collapsed.

That's why you did it?

All of it was nothing more than a means to further your ambitions?

That's right. All the sin is mine to bear.

But Nunnally has nothing to do with it!

You coward! Using Nunnally like that!

Suzaku... I'm sorry.

I've no shame or honor left.

This is all that I want, Geass be damned!

Just please, save Nunnally! I beg of you!

What you've done is inhuman!

You think this is enough to get me to forgive you?!

No, I don't! But this is all I have left!

You're the only one I can count on to save Nunnally now!

You think I... That I'll forgive you? That everyone will forgive you?!

The people you've tricked?! The people who have died?!

If you want to apologize, bring Euphy back to life! Right now!

Let's see you save the world with all your malice! Right now!

You're Zero, the miracle worker, aren't you?!

I've performed no miracles. It's all been calculation and stage production.

The mask they call Zero is a symbol!

Just a device to let me tell a lie!

A device? You think that excuse will work?!

If you're going to tell a lie, then keep it going till the very end!

But I can't go back to the past! I can't undo what's been done!

Answer me, Lelouch!

Why did you cast a Geass on me to make me want to live?!

The Geass you cast which drives me to live has perverted my convictions.

Why would you curse me like that?!

Because I wanted to survive.

You're lying, aren't you?

Lelouch, there's only one way to redeem yourself for those lies.

You could make your lies the truth.

Huh?

You told the lie that you were a knight of justice.

So try and become a true knight of justice.

Keep the lie going to the very end.

But... How?

End this war. You're Zero, after all.

No... This is a job only Zero can do!

Do it in a way that brings peace to the world and happiness to everyone.

Do that, and I'll save Nunnally.

You'll... You'll save her?

For Nunnally's sake, once more, we'll work together.

Thank you.

The two of us together... can accomplish anything!

What the...?!

Hold it right there, Zero!

We already know your real identity!

Wha--?!

Are you all right, Sir Suzaku?!

--Please step back! --Suzaku...

You set me up from the start?!

Wait, please!

You've done a great deed, Sir Suzaku.

Now this war is over.

I see... You planned to sell me out again!

You betrayed me, Suzaku... You betrayed me!

Who'd have thought the ace of the Black Knights went to a Britannian school?

You found this in the student council room?

Yeah. It was hidden deep in a locker, like it was something very precious.

There are ones missing here and there, though. Ones of you, too.

Well, I suppose he couldn't leave too many

showing him palling around with a terrorist!

That's right. He...

He can look like that too, huh?

I've never seen Suzaku smile like that.

Uh-huh...

Look...

What?

You're a Britannian-Eleven half-breed, right?

If you chose the name Stadtfeld instead of Kozuki,

you could have a good life, right?

Even become one of the Knights of the Round, if you wanted.

What are you getting at?

I'm just saying, wouldn't you like to come back to our side?

I can't believe Zero's identity is a student!

How sad.

Zero, the killer of royalty.

How tragic that he would turn out to be my own younger brother.

Brother!

However, Lelouch, I'm willing to intervene with His Majesty on your behalf.

Your life may yet be spared.

You think you can show me pity?!

Y-You mean...!

Yes. This was all done under orders from Prince Schneizel.

He figured that following you would lead us to Zero in the end.

His Highness realized there was something between you and Zero,

as well as Geass and Code-R.

I won't bring any harm upon you. Can't you believe this of me?

Believe you?

That's right. Trust your brother.

Unfortunately, brother, I'm through trusting anything.

Because friendship only betrays me.

Sir Gilbert...

Who are you?! You're not Orange!

Wait, please. I just have a request to ask of you.

I see. What should I do for you?

Oh, it's simple, really.

If I assume this pose,

from that moment on, you will recognize me as Cornelia. And then...

P-Princess Cornelia!

Guilford, my knight! Save me!

Yes, Your Highness!

About time you realized it, Guilford!

Sir Gilbert, what are you doing?!

Have you gone mad? Capturing your own liege lord?!

So, this is the power of Geass...

Princess, we need to withdraw for now!

Lelouch!

Lelouch!

"Tokyo Settlement"

Yes. Tell Tohdoh to switch places with you.

The amount of time we have to take back Nunnally and Kallen is limited.

I'm counting on you, Rolo.

Mm-hmm. Leave it to me, big brother.

Letting me come back to the Tokyo Settlement as a student was a mistake.

I had plenty of time to prepare.

What?

My... My energy filler!

A Gefjun Disturber?!

Message to Black Knight Ikaruga fleet!

The Gefjun Disturbers have immobilized all utilities, communications,

and pre-fifth generation Knightmares in the Tokyo Settlement!

The enemy's military might has been halved!

Hit all major facilities and take away the settlement's ability to keep fighting us!

We have to accomplish this

before the main forces under Schneizel's command arrive.

Once we establish a defense line, we'll cut off the government bureau!

If we can arrest Viceroy Nunnally, then victory will be ours!

Viceroy Nunnally, it's Zero! Zero has appeared!

Zero!

Zero's come?!

That's a better look on your face.

That looks more like the real you.

But I'm sorry. Your wish won't come true.

Not as long as I and my Tristan are here.

F.I.E.I.J.A.? Equipped on the Lancelot?

We need power if we're going to capture the escaped Zero, right?

But I've heard that the F.I.E.I.J.A. was a tactical-level weapon.

Suzaku, you were Princess Euphemia's knight, weren't you?

Will you not fight now? Against Lelouch?

Tohdoh! You, Asahina, and Chiba

will establish air supremacy over the government bureau!

Wilco!

Now then, the problem remaining

is the enemy 6th generation and above Knightmares. Rolo!

How is your infiltration proceeding?

Sayoko's team is going on ahead. We'll be rendezvousing with her shortly.

Good. Be sure you take Nunnally alive.

Lelouch...

Do you hear me, Zero? Cease this battle at once!

This unit is equipped with a high-yield tactical warhead.

If I use it, it will inflict over 40 million liters of damage!

Before I do that--!

As if I'd believe anything you have to say! Jeremiah!

It can't be! Sir Jeremiah?!

Suzaku Kururugi, where did you go astray? Now you will receive...

...my discipline!

No avail!

Experience all-encircling loyalty!

Even you, a Pureblood...

...joined with Zero?!

The Sutherland Sieg seems to be effective.

Although...

Huh?

We'll never be able to mass-produce a one-off unit

that uses the Siegfried's systems.

What I'm more interested in is someone telling me why he's on our side now--

the man they called the Spearhead of the Empire.

What's going on? Why... Why am I fighting Britannian forces?

Guilford!

Assist Jeremiah and shoot Suzaku Kururugi!

But Princess, Kururugi is...!

There's no time to explain! It's an emergency!

Can't you trust me and just fight?

If you're going to drag civilians into this, I'll show no mercy!

Sir Gilbert?

Kururugi! We each serve our lords!

It's nothing personal!

Suzaku! Fire F.I.E.I.J.A.!

Use this chance to kill Zero!

I'm sorry, Nina. I won't use this. However...!

I swear... I will stop Zero!

Excellent. We will finish Suzaku now, then go and take Nunnally back.

There is nothing which can defeat a Knight of the Round on the battlefield!

Gino! Thank you!

You should sound happier about it.

All this military strength... Damn you, Schneizel!

Did he anticipate my showdown in Tokyo?!

Right. I'll be rendezvousing with you a little later than expected.

Okay, understood. We've just cleared up to the 13th floor now.

Don't worry. I promise, I'll find Nunnally.

Right. I'm counting on you, Rolo.

If you can just take back Nunnally, I'll have no further need for you, Rolo.

Don't worry, big brother. I promise, I'll find Nunnally

because I'm going to kill her.

I'm the only family you need to have.

Master Rolo!

Emergency report from group two headed towards the hangars.

They say they've sighted priority item three.

About Lelouch...

Huh?

Where do you suppose he could be right now?

Who knows?

Shirley, have you been in touch with him lately?

Mm-mm.

I'm begging you, Zero!

Once more! Let's at least discuss this once more!

Hmph, there's no point. No matter what a traitor like you may say...

Hmm? Why, you!

Anya?

Wait!

Suzaku! Leave Zero to Anya!

Which is stronger? Your shield or my Stark Hadron cannon?

Wh-What the hell?!

Even my Absolute Defense Field can't withstand this for long!

Contact lost with the Shinkiro!

He seems to be engaging the Knight of Six!

What are your orders for Nakagawa unit?

We also have to defend Kujuukuri.

Um... That is...

Patch Nakagawa through to me!

Sugiyama, do we have anyone we can send to help Zero?!

Relief units? At a time like this?

Right. Viceroy Nunnally is in the escape craft.

But until the Gefjun Disturbers are deactivated...

Right. We'd be a target for the enemy if we escaped in a Knightmare.

Right. Understood.

Sayoko!

You're looking well. Master Rolo is going to get Miss Nunnally.

We came to give you a present, Miss Kallen.

I think Miss Milly's former fiancé was behind the changes,

but there seems to be a draft user's manual with it.

Shall we try to get it working?

It's different, somehow...

We can't stretch our lines any further! We're at the breaking point now!

All Gefjun Disturbers in Ikebukuro and Sugamo have been destroyed.

Now we can reinforce our lines with 5th generation Knightmares and older.

We're also bringing the government bureau's defense system back on line.

The momentum of battle has shifted in our favor.

The lights!

We're out of time!

Kinoshita! Haven't you found the viceroy yet?!

The assault teams have only reported that they've freed Captain Kozuki...

Kinoshita!

Sugiyama, you idiot! There's nobody here!

Where's Zero? He's my best pal!

A little more, and...

Something is...

What happened to the Mordred?

Zero!

It's not smart for the commander to go off on his own.

Another Knight of the Round!

Which is why you will lose...

...something that is most precious to you, namely...

...your life!

So, the basic system is the same?

We're still trying to determine Master Zero's current location.

Shall I transfer the I.F.F. data?

Yes, please.

Let's see... How about Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. Eight...?

Confirm activation.

Activation, confirmed.

Once the Guren is launched, we'll return to our own mission.

Right. You take care of the viceroy. I'll help Zero.

Right. Well, then...

Guren!

S.E.I.T.E.N. Eight Elements... Launch!

Launch!

What the...?! What's...?!

F-Father... Forgive me!

David!

Was that Kozuki? But, that machine she's in...!

At this rate...!

At this point,

the battle will be decided by who has the most energy left.

Abraham squadron, don't let him go, no matter what!

Yes, my lord!

Zero! Do you read me, Zero?!

Where are my reinforcements?!

Tamaki will be there soon!

But we've sighted an enemy silhouette over the Pacific!

What about it?!

Zero, it's me! The enemy silhouette seems to be

the Britannian emperor's flagship!

What?!

He's coming to Area 11 as well?!

No. His Majesty is not coming to the battlefield.

Why are you so sure?

Do you think he cares about mundane things? About this one day?

Not him...

Let Zero go!

You're messing with his best pal, Shinichiro Tamaki...

Dammit! Why does this always happen to me?!

Right! Now's my chance!

Just what I was waiting for, Zero! The moment of your attack!

Now, to blow what you value most to atoms!

Wh-What the...?

Nunnally!

We've been outfoxed! When did...?!

An Eleven, besting me, a Pureblood?!

Ah...

K-Kallen?

Zero! Kallen Kozuki, captain of your personal guard

has now returned to the front line!

Thieves! That's mine! It's mine!

Not quite, sir. I improved it too, remember?

Uh, right. Like you said.

No, that's not what I mean!

If the pilot is a Devicer who could handle that machine,

even at 60% output, it would be...!

That's the Earl of Pudding's work! And Cécile's energy wings, too!

How dare they do that to my Guren without permission!

Still, now that we've got Kallen back...

We're at our full fighting strength!

Whoa!

Eleven!

Do you know the truth of the battlefield?

Kill a man normally, and it's considered a crime,

but on the battlefield, the more you kill, the greater a hero you are.

Huh. So, Mr. Vampire of Britannia wants to be a hero, is that it?

No. I'm saying I like to openly take lives,

the thing which people value the most!

You know...

...you're not much of a gentleman!

And now...

Yeah, so what?

That won't work with me!

But now I've drawn you in close!

Wh-What?!

Question: What do you value the most?

Is it just your own life?

You think an Eleven can threaten me?!

Goodbye.

My life! My life has been taken?! B-By a monkey like you?!

Good work, Kallen!

Now get back to the government bureau and get Nunnally!

Zero!

Suzaku Kururugi!

Whoops!

Kallen! Stand aside!

I will not, Suzaku!

Kallen! So, you chose the name Kozuki over Stadtfeld in the end.

That's right.

Suzaku!

Leave Kallen for me to settle things with!

The problem with that, Suzaku...

I'm sorry, Gino.

She's not the sort of opponent you should play around with.

Tohdoh's forces have broken through to the enemy's headquarters!

Impossible! My Gareth!

Raise shields in area four!

We're just after Schneizel's head!

Assume Slash and Encircle formation!

Explosion detected in section 4-I of the ship!

No... Could it be Chigusa?

Don't you have any weaknesses anywhere?!

Suzaku! Kallen isn't the one you should be fighting! It's Zero!

Master Zero, we've found the viceroy!

I see! Good work!

Master Rolo said he'll escort us out of here after he secures a Knightmare.

Understood! Now, all the conditions for victory are in place.

Kallen! Finish off Suzaku now!

Do that and nothing will stand in our way!

Yes, sir!

Get out of there, Sir Suzaku!

The Lancelot's no match as it is!

But, Zero is...!

Oh, you!

You stubborn fool!

It's... It's too great...

The difference in machine potential!

Highness, at this rate, we're going to lose Sir Suzaku along with Sir Luciano!

Shoot it, Suzaku! The F.I.E.I.J.A. can beat them!

No! In the end, this is just a threat! If we actually use it, then...!

I-I can't win...

Goodbye, Suzaku.

Kill Suzaku now!

Fire the F.I.E.I.J.A.! You'll save yourself!

But if I do that...!

Even if it costs me my life here...!

That's right... This is redemption.

I have no choice but to accept it. Now...

I'm going to!

I... have to live!

Is this... F.I.E.I.J.A.?

Fall back! All units, retreat!

Something's wrong! Pull the Ikaruga back, maximum speed!

We have to retreat, too!

Asahina, storming the government bureau is on hold!

You in the Sutherland, what are you doing?! They've fired the F.I.E.I.J.A.!

F.I.E.I.J.A.?

Could that be the weapon Suzaku mentioned before?

Nunnally!

Senba, Urabe, and me...!

Why did they use the F.I.E.I.J.A. here?!

Princess, save yourself!

Princess!

We've confirmed a gigantic explosion has occurred in the Tokyo Settlement.

From the reports, we believe it was a F.I.E.I.J.A. warhead.

Are you sure about this, Your Majesty?

Should we be staying here at Kamine Island?

Enough! Let Schneizel handle it all.

At least ten million of the general populace

are believed dead from the initial damage.

Secondary damages will result in 25 million casualties.

Since all rescue facilities were annihilated,

we have no way of rescuing any civilians.

The Tokyo Settlement has died.

No... How could this have happened?!

They're all... They're all...!

I... did this?!

The fugitive's on the portside runway, right?

Wait, please! We need to get our forces reorganized first!

Understood! I'll be back there in a minute!

Ohgi!

Chigusa.

Hold it right there, Miss Fugitive.

Cornelia?! I thought it was Villetta who had escaped.

It's been a long time.

The television man without a shred of honor...

Is Zero behind this? He should have shown a little more trust in me!

Aim for her legs! I want her taken alive!

We are carrying a Britannian special diplomatic envoy!

I repeat, we are carrying a Britannian special diplomatic envoy!

We have no intention of attacking!

A special envoy?

Minase, was there a request to negotiate?

Brother!

Impossible! Schneizel has come aboard personally?

"Kyushu Block - Kagoshima Settlement"

"Kyushu Block - Kagoshima Settlement" Why did Bismarck withdraw his troops?!

We're still confirming that, but they don't seem to want to attack us.

There seems to be a cease-fire in Tokyo, as well.

Did Zero order it?

Master?!

Hang in there, big brother.

Where's Nunnally?

I'm here for you, big brother.

We've been doing fine up till now with just the two of us, haven't we?

Jeremiah? I'd like big brother to be left alone for now.

You can talk to him later.

Huh?

Right. It may not mean much of anything. Mm-hmm.

Big brother has me here with him, after all.

What are you doing with this?!

Huh?

I wanted to give this to Nunnally! To Nunnally!

You think you can replace Nunnally in my heart?! You damned imposter!

Haven't you figured it out yet? I hate you. I despise you!

I've tried over and over to kill you, but I just haven't succeeded!

Big brother?

Get out of here! I never want to see you again!

You imposter!

In the end, I just didn't understand

just how great the damage would be...

Nina, you need to make a choice.

Do you abandon science to preserve your heart

or destroy your heart and sacrifice yourself to science?

How can I make that choice?

Did you make that choice too, Prof. Lloyd?

My heart was destroyed from the very start.

I'm self-aware enough to acknowledge that.

I was the one who built the F.I.E.I.J.A...

I killed them...

All of them! All of them!

It's no use. Zero won't answer.

We've no choice, then. We'll have to meet with Schneizel without Zero.

But Zero's our leader, isn't he? Won't it be wrong to proceed on our own?

Diethard!

Why didn't you take Schneizel captive immediately?

He only had one Knightmare guarding him, right?

We could have avenged Asahina...

His plane is equipped with a F.I.E.I.J.A. warhead.

F.I.E.I.J.A.?

The bomb which caused that gigantic explosion.

If it had exploded there, neither we nor Zero would have survived.

We don't know what Schneizel's objective here is.

Our only option right now is to talk to him.

I'll pass. I'd like to check over my Guren now that it's back.

Then the negotiators will be myself, Chiba, Diethard,

--and if Ohgi is around... --Forget it. I can't find Ohgi anywhere.

Jeez! Where'd that guy go?

Kallen!

Thank goodness, you're back in one piece!

Sorry to worry you all.

Hey, where's Zero?

I heard he's in his quarters.

There's talk he's been wounded.

I once tried to use you to seize power for myself.

That was untoward of me. I'm terribly sorry. But still...

You and I share an odd connection, don't we?

Under normal circumstances, we should have joined forces.

I'll take my leave now, sir. I must search for Lady Nunnally.

Nunnally is...

Survivors will please register their names in order...

Milly!

You're alive, aren't you?!

Yeah. I'm alive. I'm alive!

Where is Zero?

Zero isn't coming.

Not until we determine the details of what you wish to discuss.

No, I wouldn't have expected him to show up.

Hmm?

In a situation like this, he keeps things to himself

and holds people at a distance.

You talk as if you know Zero intimately.

More than you people do.

Zero is my and Cornelia's younger brother.

--Huh? --Say what?!

The former 11th prince of the Holy Britannian Empire: Lelouch vi Britannia.

The man I both loved and feared the most.

Impossible!

You're sayin' Zero's a Britannian prince?!

Diethard, didn't you ever realize?

You received information from various involved parties, right?

You're wasting your time.

You can't cause chaos here by spreading these absurd stories.

It's not Zero's lineage we acknowledge,

but rather the miracles he's performed for us.

But what if those miracles were just shams?

Shams?

Zero has a power given to him from Code-R,

or a woman who goes by the name C.C., which is called Geass.

The power to force anyone to obey his orders.

You could think of it as extremely powerful hypnosis.

And you're saying his miracles come from that power?

Don't you talk crap about my man Zero!

He's got brains and guts, and he's just awesome!

All this talk about princes and Geass!

Where's your proof, huh? You got proof, huh?

I've got your proof.

O-Ohgi?

And Villetta?

What he says is all true.

Zero's true identity is the former Britannian prince Lelouch,

who possesses the power of Geass.

Master, please take off your clothes.

What?

Do you hurt anywhere? If it's some place you can't reach, I can...

That's right... It's some place I can't reach.

Zero, may I come in?

Kallen?

Ohgi said he wanted you to come to storeroom four.

Why?

Sorry, but I didn't ask why he wanted you.

Master?

Please take off your clothes. I'll do my best, I promise.

Huh? Wh-What the hell have you two been up to?!

While I've been rotting in a cell, you've...!

N-No, you've got it wrong. C.C. is now... Um...

She's lost her memory.

Huh?

It's my fault. So, the C.C. you knew is gone now.

Kallen...

It's good you made it back. I'm sorry it took so long to send help.

Lelouch, I happened to talk to Nunnally. She was concerned about me.

I see.

Look... I know it's no comfort at a time like this,

but when I lost my brother--

There's something we'd like to confirm, Zero.

Are you Lelouch?

Have you been using Geass to deceive us?

The legendary hero Zero died in battle before realizing his ambitions.

But his gallant life will live on in legend!

Is that the script you've written for me, Diethard?

To be honest, I wanted to film your triumph against Britannia,

but I'm afraid that show has been cancelled.

What do I do? It looks like they don't know the conditions for using my Geass.

I didn't want to do this, but at this point...

Everyone trusted you!

What did Inoue and Yoshida die for?!

Wait a minute!

This is way too one-sided!

Look how far we've been able to come because of Zero!

Step aside, Kallen!

Don't tell me he used his Geass on you, too!

Answer me, Lelouch. What am I to you?

If I could stay with you, I would... Please.

I see. This is you calling "check" on me.

Then there must not be any way out of this for me.

Please, just answer me!

Fools! You finally figured it out! That I've been using you all.

That you're nothing but pawns to me!

Zero! It isn't like you to turn on us! Tell us the truth!

Zero!

Lelouch...

Kallen, you were the most special piece of all for me to play.

That's right. This was all just a board for me to play on.

Just a game to me.

I see...

Goodbye then, Lelouch.

Take aim!

Just a minute, please! We haven't heard him out yet!

What good will it do to give him enough time to use his Geass?

Zero, say something!

Kallen... You have to live.

Fire!

Are you okay, big brother?!

--Rolo?! --Big brother, I'll protect you!

Stop it, Rolo! That's enough!

Master...

Anya, Zero's escaped.

Can you capture him with the Mordred?

If I can destroy him...

I never realized how difficult it was to calculate the Absolute Defense Field.

My big brother really is incredible, isn't he?

Rolo! I have no reason to live any longer!

Huh?

How can it move like that?

I won't let them kill you! I swear!

Using your Geass over such a large area...

Stop! Your heart won't be able to take the strain!

Attention, all units! The Shinkiro has been stolen!

Any units capable of combat, destroy the Shinkiro! I repeat...

Enough, Rolo! I don't have any reason to live anymore!

I won't, big brother. Because...

Stop...

...doing this, Rolo! Why are you trying to...

...save me?! I...

Yeah... Maybe you've just been using me all this time...

...was only...

...using you!

Rolo!

But...

Stop it! Don't use your Geass! Do you want to die?!

You're... the only one... who really saw me, big brother... which is why...

...for my own sake... I have to save you...!

Rolo, why did you save me? After all I've done to you?

Because you're a liar, big brother.

Huh?

It was a lie, wasn't it? About trying to kill me...

About... hating me...

Yeah. You saw right through it, didn't you?

Just what I'd expect of my little brother.

Yeah... That's right... Because... I know...

...everything about you... big brother...

Yeah. You did.

Your big brother... is nothing but a liar.

According to the materials left behind by Director V.V. and our brethren,

this point is optimal.

It will synchronize with the rest of the ruins scattered throughout the world.

With this, we can make the Sword of Akasha usable once again.

Heh, to think that I could use such an ancient device.

Yes, we have the Britannians assisting us as well!

As soon as you confirm its location, alert all forces and destroy the Shinkiro!

--Yes, sir! --What about my master?

It's been ages since we were face to face like this!

It's me! It's me!

C.C., don't tell me you've...

No! Forgive me!

What are you doing, closing yourself up in here again?

C.C.? C.C.!

Hmm? Who are you?

It's me. See?

You...! So, you've chased me all the way in here, now?

Are you that worried about Lelouch, Marianne?

Oh, please! Do you really think I'm that ideal a mother?

Then why did you come here?

Because I wanted to know if you're still on my side.

Huh?

C.C., why did you seal off your own Code?

Even when Charles would have granted your wish to die.

That's a good question. I was a little bit surprised, myself.

Anyway, let's go back to the real world.

I've decided, and that's all there is to it.

How typical of you.

What is?

The way you always come in and mess around with me.

Yes, because I appreciate what you did.

At least as far as giving me my Geass.

Says the woman who never fulfilled her contract.

If you think that, shall you come with me?

Right, but hold on a moment. There's something I need to take.

I'm having Anya remain here aboard the Ikaruga.

We'll need someone here to take custody of Zero.

And now, what do you plan to do? Stay with the Black Knights?

Neither my brother nor myself plan to punish you here.

No, now that the situation has advanced to the next level,

there's no way we can act against you now.

Well... I...

I'm probably the last person who should say this,

but noble rank isn't everything in this world.

We have no choice. Let's announce that Zero was killed in battle.

Even though we haven't found Lelouch yet?

You want people to think that he's dead?

Excuse me. I understand that Zero has had his problems and all that,

but will you tell people about that Geass power of his, too?

That would just get us thrown out as a bunch of madmen!

There's no way we can!

And what if the real Zero appears later?

How exactly would he prove that?

In the end, a masked hero is merely a symbol.

If no one acknowledges him, he will never establish himself.

Really? That's great news! Really.

Yeah! They finally got the cell phones working again,

and we found out everyone was okay!

Oh, yeah. Your room was destroyed, but there's room in the clubhouse.

I see.

Hey, by the way, how's Rolo? He's with you, right?

Y-Yeah...

Rivalz...

Can you tell the others something for me?

That I won't be able to keep my promise to shoot off fireworks with you all.

What was that supposed to mean?

Your Majesty, we've completed preparations for synchronization.

Very well. Let us begin, then.

All relic systems are now synchronized.

With this shall end the world of the existing God.

Destruction and creation...

Ragnarok begins!

Your Majesty, I have a communication from Prince Schneizel

in the Tokyo Settlement...

Did I not tell you to leave these mundane affairs to him?

Mundane?

Damn you, Schneizel. Has the truth begun to dawn on you?

Even so, it's too late! This game called war is already obsolete.

This is KTTV. As we've lost our studios,

we've set up a temporary one at Ashford Academy

to bring you this emergency news flash.

A short while ago, we received official word

that Prince Schneizel has signed a cease-fire with the Black Knights.

In addition, it's been announced by the Black Knights

that their CEO, Zero, is dead.

Zero was wounded in the battle for the Tokyo Settlement

but succumbed to his injuries early this morning.

I heard from Chigusa what you did behind our backs!

If you're going to stay here, you'd better be prepared for the consequences.

Um, word is that Suzaku has left.

We know. He's just too serious.

He's a lot like you, Mr. Lloyd.

Ha-ha, you think so?

Was this Schneizel's idea?

It's my decision.

Majesty, I appreciate the patronage you provided me.

But you have abandoned your responsibilities as king.

If peace could be brought about through Prince Clovis

by my doing away with you...

Why did you stain your hands with Geass?

Is that a crime?

Geass brings out the evil nature in people.

Yes. If you knew about everything, then you could have saved Euphy.

But you abandoned her!

So what?

Into this sword, I put the despair you drove Lelouch and Nunnally to!

Prepare to die!

S-Sir Bismarck!

So you've bared your fangs, Knight of Seven?

A pity, traitorous knight!

Bismarck, I leave this mundane matter to you.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Wait!

Ohgi? This is Hong Gu. Requesting landing clearance.

We've brought Her Majesty and Lady Kaguya with us.

R-Right. Then I'll contact Schneizel's people as well,

so hold on a moment.

Um, Minase, open a channel to Britannia.

Uh-oh. The Geass spell that compels me to live.

It's screaming at me to run away!

Is the Knight of One really that dangerous an opponent?!

Even so, I've left my weakness behind!

Fool!

Your weakness...

...is what supported the strength you possessed, which was gentleness!

That's right. Strength without a standard to follow is merely violence.

Which means...

You should die here, Suzaku Kururugi!

My name is Lelouch vi Britannia!

Eldest son of Empress Marianne!

The prince who was abandoned by his empire!

Wh-What the hell?! Why are you shooting at us?!

Why are we shooting at our own people?!

We're still verifying it, but we can't contact gun turret room 3.

It's possible someone's taken it over!

Respond, turret room 3! If you do not respond, we'll remove you by force!

Follow us in the royal guard! Destroy all enemies!

Yes, my lord!

All the reinforcements from the Shikine Island base are attacking us!

We're getting reports of people in our own ranks turning on us as well!

This is...

A rebellion?!

Yes, my lord! Where is His Majesty?

His Majesty is in the safest place he could be. For now, we...

Lelouch! There's no need for you to take any more sins upon you!

Who has command aboard the Great Britannia?!

Lady Monica Krushevsky, the Knight of Twelve.

Very well! Then I'll go out in the Galahad!

You still can't contact the Mordred?

No, my lord, although I think she's headed for Kamine Island.

Meaning she just received that intelligence and is going to His Majesty?

Where do Anya's loyalties lie?

My apologies, Lady Kaguya. We have to get to Kamine Island at once.

Then we shall go with you, as well.

There's only one person I can think of

who would be attacking the Britannian emperor in this situation.

I agree.

Which means we have a few points to verify.

We can continue this meeting once this matter is settled.

There's a good chance that the rebels are under the influence of Geass...

Anya!

Surely you aren't part of this, too!

So, the Knight of One is behind this coup d'état?!

What?!

Don't jump to conclusions!

How can I trust you? Where's your proof?

The enemy is from Shikine Island!

Monica can testify to it!

Understood. Forgive me.

All I ask is for you to understand that. How damaged are you?

My air combat mobility is dropping.

I was thinking I could intercept the rebel forces on the ground.

Understood. I'll defend the royal flagship.

Quite the actress, aren't you?

We don't have time to explain things to Bismarck.

If you start off suspecting someone, it keeps them from mistrusting you, right?

Now then, God!

The time has come to settle this!

Wrong.

You're mistaken, Charles zi Britannia.

It's not God you need to settle things with.

It's with me!

And how do you plan to do that? Now that I have the same status as C.C.,

I cannot die!

I'm thankful. By coming in here, you've ensured my victory.

You've sealed the exit?!

Yes. I believe this space might possibly be located

in the domain of imaginary numbers.

I've sealed us both up inside this space.

If you cannot interfere with the real world,

you may as well be dead!

Lelouch...

This system you've made

has become a prison which now holds your own soul captive!

Now, let us repent! Suffering together for all eternity!

You woke up too soon.

C.C.!

What are you doing here?

Anya...

At the moment, I'm Marianne. Lelouch and Nunnally's mother.

Huh?

Now then, since we have plenty of time...

Will you answer me? Who was it that killed Mother?

Why didn't you protect her?

How strange. You seek the truth from someone.

You, who has only made it this far by lying.

That's true. I've been lying all along.

Not just my name and personal history.

I've hidden every aspect of my true intentions.

But I could say the same about you.

Neither of us can take a step now without our respective personas.

You're wrong.

When it is understood that lies are meaningless in the face of eternity,

personas will vanish. When we understand each other,

conflict will disappear.

That is my Ragnarok Connection.

The world will discard these masks called deceit, revealing the truth.

Cs' World?

To use existing terminology, it's the collective unconscious.

A collective of people's minds with memories.

The sea of transmigration. The great consciousness.

Some people refer to it as God.

Was that what I saw when we met at Narita?

Forget it. It's too wrecked for me to do. C.C., could you please?

You're really going in?

Of course! Charles is waiting for us, after all.

It would have been so easy if you'd given your Code to him.

Oh... I'll go first.

What are you doing?!

Suzaku Kururugi... We're similar, you and I.

Similar?

In the way we both wish to die, and yet cannot.

Prince Schneizel... and the Black Knights?!

Stay alive, Lelouch!

There's something I still need to ask you!

It... It can't be!

You've grown so much, Lelouch!

M-Mother?!

So, you've come, Marianne.

Is this another illusion?! You'd do this?!

No. It's really me.

Although I can only take my original appearance in this system.

Really you?

Lelouch, I'll answer your previous question now.

Half a century ago, my elder brother and I were in hell.

Our relatives were all rivals competing for the throne.

Assassinations became a daily occurrence.

Day after day of betrayals spawned by lies.

All of them were dying.

Even my mother fell victim to it.

My brother and I were saddened and angered by the world.

And so we swore an oath.

To create a world without lies.

Both C.C. and I agreed to that pledge.

V.V., however...

I've cleared everyone out of here. I've even had Cornelia withdraw.

Sorry to do this without Charles around.

Is this about the Sword of Akasha?

Hm? Oh, no. It's about Charles.

Charles has changed ever since he met you.

It's as if you both enjoy learning more and more about each other.

If this goes on, the contract we made will never be fulfilled.

I'll be left alone.

Since the days of myth, it's always the woman who leads the man astray.

Lady Marianne.

I told you to stay out of here!

It's done.

Right. Begin the cover-up.

Maybe we can make Nunnally out to be the witness.

We have to make it look like this was the work of terrorists.

Anya Alstreim...

The young girl who came here a week ago to be schooled in etiquette.

My Geass power was to cross over into another person's mind.

It activated for the first time as my body was dying.

I hid inside of Anya and saved myself from V.V.'s plan.

Then I realized something. When I surfaced my consciousness,

I could speak to C.C.'s mind.

Once she knew the truth, C.C. left the directorship to V.V.,

and then disappeared.

I talked to my brother about it, however...

I heard. It's too bad about Marianne.

My brother lied to me!

After we had sworn to create a world without lies!

How dare you?! Don't try to shift the blame for this onto the dead V.V.!

After you sent Nunnally and me to Japan as hostages...

It was necessary!

Necessary for what?!

You treated us like we were part of your war machine!

Milly, when the sun rises,

I'd like to get a shot with ground zero in the background.

Gotcha.

Sorry about this.

We'll have some relief coming from Niigata and Nagoya by afternoon,

so hang in there.

Oh, I'm okay.

We're suppressing the rebel forces with the help of the Black Knights, but...

Hm? Is there something else?

Just how much do you know, Prince Schneizel?

How frightening! What are you referring to?

I used Lelouch. Knowing the truth all the time,

I made his survival a priority to bring my own death to fruition.

Any regrets?

Hardly.

I'm an immortal witch.

I abandoned my humanity long ago.

We aren't alike at all.

C.C., send me over there.

I have to carry on the wishes of those whose dreams never came true.

That's right. I sent you both to Japan to escape my brother's sight.

That's also why I had Marianne's body secretly taken away.

As long as my body still exists,

there's the possibility that I might return to it.

It was necessary to rewrite the memories of the witnesses,

Anya and Nunnally, to keep everything safe.

Nunnally? You mean her blindness isn't psychosomatic, but...!

It was to safeguard Nunnally's life.

It was necessary to make my brother think

that Nunnally could not get close to the truth.

The original plan only called for one immortal Code,

but for research to progress, we needed another Code.

In short, without C.C., we didn't have a 100% guarantee that it would work.

When Marianne was unable to persuade C.C. to help us,

we were forced to use you.

Then... What was the point of me doing this?

Once the Ragnarok Connection is made,

there will be no more need for these sorts of tragedies.

The masks will vanish. Everyone can be exactly who they are.

I see. The battle between Britannia and the Black Knights...

It was all to lure out C.C.

So, from the very beginning, I was just a nuisance.

Meaningless noise in this world.

What do you two think of all this?

So, you noticed I had appeared.

You're back to normal now. It's necessary for this plan, isn't it?

Exactly. Therefore, there's no sense in your coming here as well, Kururugi.

I'm sure. I heard you were already immortal.

That's why there's something I want to know for sure.

The reason you made this thing.

That's right. It's for what Euphy and Nunnally want.

A gentle world.

C.C., now that we are all here, the plan can commence.

I shall grant your wish after it's done.

What?!

Huh? Where am I?

Oh, it's beginning!

The Sword of Akasha is slaying God!

Now, once our marks become one,

the new world will begin!

Lelouch, why did you want to control the world?

Don't waste my time with obvious questions. It was for Nunnally.

Are you using Nunnally as an excuse?

You're right. I've fought to protect everything I thought I wanted to protect.

To that end, you need to do something.

The means to that end require me to reject something.

Which means...

Right. I...

I reject you and your ideas!

Why do people lie? It's not just to struggle against each other!

It's because they seek something!

A world where it's all right for everything to stay as it is will stagnate!

You can't call that life! It's the equivalent of a world of memories!

A closed and completed world. One I wouldn't want to live in!

Lelouch, are you saying you reject me, as well?

Is your wish the same as the emperor's, Mother?

It will be good to reconnect all the minds that have been split apart.

You can be reunited with those who have died. Even Euphemia.

Just as I thought.

You both think that will be a good thing.

But you're forcing those good intentions on others!

And that's no different than evil intentions!

People will come to accept it in time.

That time will never come!

Only one thing is certain.

Perhaps what you did to Nunnally and me was out of good intentions,

but the fact remains that you abandoned us!

But we were trying to protect you!

Then why didn't you stop the war between Japan and Britannia?!

You both put such a priority on the plan

that it didn't matter if we were alive or dead.

That's why you abandoned us! All you have left are self-serving excuses!

That's not true!

You just said it! The dead will rejoin the living!

You don't care about the future!

The future lies beyond the Ragnarok Connection!

The gentle world Nunnally spoke of.

No! The world you spoke of will be gentle only for you!

But the world Nunnally wants

is one where even strangers can be kind to each other!

Even if that's true, what of it? The Ragnarok Connection has already begun!

You think so? I am Zero!

The man who works miracles!

Your Geass won't work on me, nor on anyone else here!

No...

There are many others here, aren't there?

That's right! Cs' World is the consciousness of mankind!

And all men are not equal!

Both statements are your words!

And you know my power works because of that inequality!

Lelouch, you're a fool! The power of the king cannot defeat God!

I don't intend to defeat God! This is a request!

That's right! Now, I know who I really am!

God! Collective unconscious!

Please, don't stop the march of time!

Lelouch, you ungrateful child...

Nobody wanted this! Not even Euphy!

You can't do it! Not God! Not all of humanity itself!

Even so, what I want... is the future!

It can't be!

The Thought Elevator!

It's crumbling... The dream I shared with Marianne and my brother!

Charles, just stop already. It was presumptuous for us to try this.

C.C.! As long as we have our marks, then...

This is no lie. This is reality's answer to you.

Darling!

Impossible... I thought I was immortal!

We're being swallowed? By Cs' World?

But what about C.C.?

Why isn't she disappearing, too?

You approved of this plan, too!

I'm sorry. I finally realized.

The only people you love are yourselves.

You're wrong! We love Lelouch and Nunnally!

Do you know? The meaning of Nunnally's smile?

Her smile?

Why don't you understand?! Nunnally was blind and crippled!

So she knew there were things in this world she couldn't do by herself!

Nunnally's smile...

Nunnally's smile was the least she could do to express her gratitude!

Even now, you spout that nonsense?

I won't let you call it nonsense! You will over my dead body!

Not looking at reality! Happy to be watching us from afar!

Don't make me laugh! There's only one truth here!

You, my own parents, abandoned us!

You pathetic fool!

Suzaku! Stay out of this!

Refuse me and you will inherit his world! Schneizel's world!

Good and evil intentions are just two sides of the same card, in the end!

Even so, you...!

Even so, I reject the world you propose. Now begone!

It can't be!

So it's true?

The one who sought after empty ideals is gone?

C.C., are you going, too?

You want to at least smile when you die, right?

What do you two plan to do now?

You rejected Charles's plan. You chose reality,

and the forward march of time. But...

Before we proceed, there's something I want to make sure of...

...from the monarch of deceit.

In that case, there's something that I, too, would like to ascertain,

from the traitorous knight!

Okay, we're going to go make up the assignments for the school festival.

Mm-hmm. Give the swim club a good location and time, okay?

No promises.

Stinge!

Yes, this is Shirley Fenette.

Hello?

Huh? Can you hear me?

Lulu?

What's the matter? You've stopped coming to school.

I'm sure you have a lot going on, but, um...

Do you know Jeremiah? He told us about Nunna, and you...

You know what? No matter what happens, I'll still like you, Lulu.

I'm on your side. You must be trying to do something now, right?

If so, I'll help you out. I'll be your...

One month has passed since the destruction

caused by the F.I.E.I.J.A. warhead.

As there will be an important announcement

from His Majesty Emperor Charles today,

"Holy Britannian Empire - Capital, Pendragon"

Didn't they say the emperor had gone missing?

Bismarck was the one who reported that, and he's gone now.

Aside from that, where are Schneizel and the others?

I don't know. There's been no word from Cambodia.

Presenting, His Imperial Majesty!

Where's His Majesty?

Wh-Why is...?

It can't be.

Wha...?!

What is this?!

No way. How?!

I am Lelouch vi Britannia, the 99th emperor of Britannia.

What? Is it really?!

You're alive?

Yes, Sister. I have returned from the depths of hell.

Lelouch, how good to see you!

I thought you might also be alive when we found Nunnally,

but don't you think you're carrying this joke a bit too far? That's Father's--

Charles zi Britannia, the 98th emperor, was killed. By me.

Huh?

Which makes me the next emperor!

What are you talking about?! There's no way!

Get rid of that fool!

He's guilty of killing our emperor!

Suzaku? Why?!

Allow me to introduce Suzaku Kururugi, my knight.

He is the Round beyond the other Rounds.

I grant him the title of Knight of Zero.

I knew it.

Suzaku...

Lelouch, Sir Suzaku, this just won't do.

Pulling this bad joke on an international broadcast!

Oh, no? Well then, why don't I make this easy for you all to understand?

Acknowledge me!

I'm saying you really have to stop joking around like...

Yes, Your Majesty!

All hail Lelouch!

All hail Lelouch! All hail Lelouch!

All hail Lelouch!

Lelouch vi Britannia does not follow in the late emperor's footsteps!

Now is the time for us to demonstrate our loyalty!

I don't care if the lost prince has returned after all this time...

An interceptor? But only one?

Lancelot Albion will be enough.

I can't track it!

It can't be! He got me already?!

Hmm? The Albion?!

A 9th generation Knightmare Frame, which means...

Suzaku Kururugi!

Wake up, Suzaku!

You can still come back to us!

Come back?

You've got it backwards, Gino.

If you've sworn loyalty to Britannia, then you belong on my side!

Or do you intend to stand against Britannia?

Against Britannia...

Suzaku Kururugi!

I heard your objective was to become the Knight of One!

However! I am the only Knight of One!

And I have no intention of giving up that title to the likes of you!

I am the Knight of Zero, a rank that surpasses even the Knight of One!

A title without a shred of pride!

How can he know Lancelot's flight path?!

My Geass allows me to see the future!

Again!

Lady Marianne was the only one I've ever needed to use this power against!

He can predict my movements? Even so...

Suzaku! This video is being broadcast to the world, as we planned.

Right. For the sake of the Zero Requiem, I can't lose!

That's why I'm ordering you to live!

Yes, Your Majesty!

My name will always be linked with the title...

...of mightiest knight in the empire!

Wh-What?!

What is this? Is it the machine's abilities...

...or is it Kururugi's?

Suzaku... Your willpower is extraordinary.

Turning my Geass command to live into an unexpected weapon.

You are truly a man to be reckoned with!

Even if you can predict my movements,

if I do this...!

Head on?!

You insult me!

Lady Marianne!

Am I a Britannian? And if I'm not...

...then what am I fighting for?!

"Britannian Palace - Exelica Garden"

The real work is yet to come.

I am about to spill a sea of blood.

Enough blood to wipe all memory of the massacre princess from people's minds.

Lelouch, are you saying...?

It wasn't just Euphy. It was Nunnally, too.

We've both lost much. Far, far too much.

But to advance toward the future, we need to take over the world.

Just saying it makes me laugh.

Yet you're both intent on doing it, aren't you?

Yes.

For the sake of the Zero Requiem.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Well then, what will you do about the problem at hand, Your Majesty?

Hmm. I took over Britannia for that, but...

Is it true? About what Schneizel is thinking?

Yes. Prince Schneizel appears to have changed,

now that he has obtained F.I.E.I.J.A.

Yeah. And here I thought that after Emperor Charles,

Prince Schneizel would preserve the balance of power.

It's crazy, right? Imagine, the prince being so magnanimous.

What's even more surprising is that this bunch would be opposing him.

All of us trying to take responsibility for our means and our ends.

Even so, there's no need to take things any further--

No, you're wrong about that, C.C.

After sending Sayoko to Cambodia, I can no longer reach her.

Which would mean...

we are left with only one reality.

We have to move the plan to the next phase before Schneizel can act.

Hey, you guys, did you hear?!

Emperor Lelouch's announcement, you mean?

Yeah. Can you imagine, petitioning to join the United Federation of Nations?

Seriously, what is Lelouch thinking?

Huh?

We're coming to you from Ashford Academy,

the site designated by His Majesty Lelouch, emperor of Britannia.

It is here, today, that the Britannian Empire's petition to join the U.F.N...

It's the Britannian emperor's plane!

Lelouch, is it really you?

Sorry about that!

Emperor Lelouch has just landed inside the school grounds.

Lelouch!

Lelouch, please tell me!

--Why didn't you ever tell me?! --Hey!

How dare you disrespect the Britannian emperor like that?!

But... But we're friends! He's...

Lelouch is...!

Hey!

Nostalgic, isn't it?

I'm... I'm grateful to you.

If it weren't for you, we would have died in the Shinjuku ghetto.

There never would have been any Black Knights.

I was glad. Proud and honored to be needed by Zero.

But... When I learned you were Zero, I didn't understand anymore.

Even so, the man I saw fighting against Britannia...

Now you've joined up with Suzaku. What do you want to do now?

Do you just want power? Or is it status you seek?

Or... Is this just another game to you?

I still speak with Ohgi and the others these days.

We wonder if you were really just using us.

About whether we fell for Schneizel's strategy. Um...

Lelouch... What am I to you?!

Why did you tell me to live back aboard the Ikaruga?!

Goodbye, Lelouch.

The supreme council is scheduled to meet in the gymnasium.

Goodbye, Kallen.

Chairman Kaguya Sumeragi of the U.F.N. supreme council.

I would like for the Holy Britannian Empire to participate in the United Federation of Nations.

Lock Master Zero away?

Yes. Since Britannia has concealed Zero's true identity and Geass from us,

I think it is in our best interest to not say anything.

Zero is a hero of unknown origin.

I humbly recommend that we treat him as a symbol of the people's liberation.

What will it be, Kaguya Sumeragi?

Suzaku Kururugi, you traitorous fiend!

Lelouch has taken each nation's representatives hostage? Why?

I don't know! I thought he was delivering Britannia as an ally,

but all of a sudden, he's sending out its forces!

Deputy Commander! There is word that a F.I.E.I.J.A. has been dropped

on the Britannian capital, Pendragon!

Huh?!

What is this? What the hell is happening?

There's a giant fortress overhead that was developed

by the Tromo Agency of Cambodia.

Lelouch! It's just as you guessed!

Yes. We can assume that the F.I.E.I.J.A. warheads they initially produced

have been loaded aboard the sky fortress Damocles.

They must have wanted to secure the U.F.N. completely

before he made his move.

The only one who would know the imperial private channel is...

Does it feel good to subdue other people, Lelouch?

Schneizel.

I've taken custody of all the F.I.E.I.J.A. warheads.

Are you drawing your bow against the Britannian emperor?

I'm afraid I don't recognize you as emperor.

I see.

I suppose you think you are better suited to be emperor.

No. You're mistaken, Lelouch.

The one best suited to be Britannia's emperor...

...is her.

N...!

Nunnally!

It has been too long, big brother. I am...

...the one and only emperor.

Is it really true?!

Looks like it was a F.I.E.I.J.A. warhead.

The thing that wiped out the Tokyo Settlement?

--Was it an accident? --But I've heard all the F.I.E.I.J.A.s they manufactured are gone.

Stop spreading wild stories!

Even if it's just rumors,

it's imprudent to discuss the capital's destruction!

No, I'm afraid it's true.

What?!

Please... Take me to Master Lelouch!

N-Nunnally...

You're still alive!

Yes, thanks to Brother Schneizel.

Nunnally...

Do you understand what Schneizel has done?

Yes. He's attacked the capital, Pendragon, with a F.I.E.I.J.A. warhead.

If you know that, then why...?!

Are you saying using Geass is better?!

You and big brother have been lying to me all along, haven't you?

You've kept the truth from me all this time.

But I found out.

Big brother, you were Zero all along, weren't you?

Why?! Were you doing it for my sake? If that's the case, then I...

For your sake? I see my little sister is as presumptuous as ever!

Do you think it's natural for people to always help you out of pity?

All you do is criticize the actions of others

while your own hands remain unsullied.

You are the very embodiment of the old aristocracy which I have rejected.

You... don't...

I do this for no one!

It is for my own benefit that I take the world!

If you choose to ally yourself with Schneizel and stand in my way,

I have no choice but to crush you without mercy!

Big brother! Listen to me--

Are you all right, Nunnally?

That must have been hard for you.

I thought showing him the power of the F.I.E.I.J.A. would lead him to surrender.

Brother Schneizel... Are the people of Pendragon really all right?

You needn't worry. We gave warning for them to evacuate beforehand.

But, now... Now we'll have to use them on people. On big brother, right?

If they stand in the way of world peace, we will.

Brother Schneizel...

Will you let me have the F.I.E.I.J.A. firing switch, please?

I can't fight or protect anything myself.

That's why, at the very least... I want this sin to be on my shoulders.

Lelouch.

Our strategic objective remains unchanged.

We can't stop this just because Nunnally is still alive!

What's the point of the Zero Requiem, then?!

Remember your promise!

Suzaku...

I am his sword.

I rid him of his enemies and his own weakness.

So, C.C., you must become his shield!

Protecting him is your duty.

That's only what you think.

Lelouch is your accomplice, isn't he?

My accomplice, huh?

What about it?

Y-You mean the people of Pendragon were...!

I made them vanish.

Happier for them than a life swearing loyalty to Lelouch, isn't it?

But, you told Nunnally...

Lies are expedient.

No need to tell Nunnally anything that would get in the way

of her opposition to Lelouch, is there?

Is that how you use people, brother?

Even civilians who have rejected war depend on the police, don't they?

Everyone understands that crime cannot be stopped,

because people can't help the desires they have.

That's why we don't need to win hearts or use ideology.

Why not bring peace to the world using a system backed by force?

You...

Magnificent!

I knew I was right to come with you!

Surpassing Zero's chaos to a state of perfect nothingness,

followed by a kaleidoscopic transformation!

Prince Schneizel, we've made contact with the Black Knights.

They say if you plan to kill Lelouch, they're willing to help.

Thank you.

The masses who suffer Lelouch's tyranny

will have no choice but to cling to something slightly better.

Are you saying that's why you've let Lelouch get away with this until now?

It was the way to minimize the damage.

Even if we lose 1 or 2 billion lives, for a permanent peace...

You're wrong! Peace given by force is no peace!

You make me sad, Cornelia.

Schneizel had another escape plane as a decoy during the battle for Tokyo.

And so...

Then the plane destroyed by the F.I.E.I.J.A. was the decoy.

He's trying to use Miss Nunnally to control Master Lelouch!

You're Japanese, aren't you?

Why come to Master Lelouch instead of the Black Knights?

You devote yourself to chivalry as well, don't you?

Perhaps you're right.

You understand why I'm doing this evil, don't you?

Besides, under the rule of Damocles, people will become lifeless symbols.

But Nunnally is aboard Damocles.

All you've done has been for her sake.

I can't treat her differently anymore.

He who holds the power of a king has a responsibility.

We can't stop now, for the sake of all those who have died.

Right, C.C.?

With the destruction of Pendragon, the capital of the Holy Britannian Empire,

their internal administration has been paralyzed.

With them confronting the armies of every Area as well as the Black Knights,

they can't make any false moves.

In short, the only force Lelouch can send against us here

is the division he brought to reoccupy Japan.

However, this balance of power can collapse at any time.

To minimize damage, the time to confront him is now!

Now that Schneizel has joined up with us, our forces are evenly matched.

We don't intend to approve of Damocles's use of F.I.E.I.J.A. weaponry,

but uniting the world has priority here. This battle...

This battle is a showdown with control of the world at stake!

If we defeat Schneizel and the Black Knights,

then there will be none left to stand in our way!

The world shall be destroyed, and then re-created by Lelouch,

the one, true emperor of Britannia!

Smash them!

Smash the enemy! Smash Schneizel!

Smash the sky fortress Damocles!

We have nothing to fear! My name is the future of this world!

All hail Lelouch!

Lelouch...

I'll make both of you into recordings.

Are you sure Anya will be all right?

She appears to have her memories tangled up due to the Geass.

We can count on her on the battlefield.

Her day-to-day memories may be impeded, but it won't be a problem.

Oh? On an open channel, too.

You look well, Schneizel.

Lelouch, if you're going to surrender, now is the time.

We have F.I.E.I.J.A.s here, ready to use.

F.I.E.I.J.A.s? I wonder if you'd dare to fire them.

Considering I have the U.F.N. representatives

aboard the Avalon with me.

He's hiding behind the hostages?!

I can't believe he'd go this far!

Indeed. However, Lelouch, it's a small price to pay for world peace.

Don't shoot, Schneizel!

I heard the U.F.N. members have elected substitute representatives.

We're ready for the worst.

But that doesn't mean their lives are to be thrown away!

Deploy the Shen Hu. Transmit the command structure to all forces!

Yes, sir.

Then shall we have at each other?

Indeed.

Kannon, just as you predicted.

Yes. Now the Black Knights are yours to command.

Ha. Transmit pattern Sigma to all forces.

Enemy forces deploying into a wide-field aerial formation.

He's coming at me with conventional tactics? Good.

Stretch our left wing! Assume Half-Moon Arhat formation!

Yes, Your Majesty!

The enemy's main unit is undermanned.

Have Gino's unit advance.

Keep the enemy's left wing from extending!

Yes, Your Highness!

Checking my move, huh?

Move our left wing back!

That will break our formation!

Very well!

Gino, halt your advance!

Why? We should strike now while their formation is breaking.

He's baiting us with an opening.

I'm not taking it.

Not falling for it, huh?

Switch main battle plan to Big Dipper formation!

Unit 6, follow Anya and move to the northeast, elevation 40 degrees!

Bombardment unit, prep for anti-air combat!

Anya, stop there and climb 200 meters!

What the hell! Nobody's fighting at all!

You're wrong. A battle between two masters is decided in an instant.

An invisible battle is now raging between the two of them.

We have to hurry. The battle's already begun.

They're surrounding us!

Counterattack! Reinforce the front line with Suzaku's Lancelot!

Hold at combat speed 4! Send Ward's unit out as well!

You haven't changed, Lelouch. You like to attack more than defend.

Which leaves me a small window of opportunity.

Xing-ke?

Heh... He's already incorporated our skills into his tactics, has he?

Enemy left wing, advancing!

Give no quarter! Live up to His Majesty's confidence in us!

If we can defeat Lelouch, this all will end!

If we break the line here and turn this into a free-for-all...!

They're breaking through!

We're being cut up...

Shall I recall Suzaku?

No, that's what Schneizel wants us to do.

Withdraw the battle line! Regroup our forces!

Enemy fleet falling back.

Don't lose this chance!

Press the attack!

Guren, you're too far out! Match pace with us and we'll surround them!

I know, but...!

Don't be in a rush! If we defeat their vanguard, the Avalon will be left isolated!

Dreadnought destroyed! They're breaking through!

So, the Black Knights are this strong an enemy, are they?

However, as for my own troops...

For His Majesty!

It's heartbreaking. Seeing soldiers controlled by Geass. Therefore...!

I suppose now is the time. Smash both wings.

Bow-mounted hadron scatter cannon, set!

Move squad 7 out of the firing angle!

Gefjun control, synched.

Ready to fire!

Target both enemy wings. Fire!

Zero, it's a shame it had to turn out like this.

Lelouch!

Right. I'm impressed. You've forced me to use this plan, now.

Dammit!

Energy reaction, right below us!

What?! Impossible...

He timed this to...?!

All forces! Raise radiant shields!

Zero!

Ohgi, please respond! Minami! Rakshata!

It... It can't be!

He used the Sakuradite in the mine?

This has destroyed Lelouch's ground forces as well.

I was careless!

That's Lelouch's basic tactic. But how can he sacrifice his own forces?!

This has left the enemy's strength nearly depleted. That leaves Damocles...

...for us to hit!

Unfortunately, it's you who have been checked here.

Nunnally, targeting is complete. Now that the Black Knights have been smashed,

we must use F.I.E.I.J.A.'s power.

Y-Yes...

With this act, I will wipe away big brother's sins!

Incoming! It's a F.I.E.I.J.A.!

So, here's where he's fired it. Special equipment division 3!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Avalon will continue to fall back. All forces, charge at Damocles.

Make them keep firing F.I.E.I.J.A.s until they exhaust their stock!

Ohgi! Ohgi!

Ohgi!

Is this any time to be playing dead?!

I... I don't believe it. You two shielded us?

We were only able to protect the bridge, though.

You're on your own now.

Let's go, Kallen!

Oh please, look who's giving orders now.

Another F.I.E.I.J.A...

Twammi fleet, annihilated! Should the operation...

The operation will continue! The Avalon will continue to fall back!

Keep our distance from Damocles!

All units, attack in waves

and force Damocles to continue launching F.I.E.I.J.A.s!

Nunnally, we're ready to fire the next one.

R-Right...

It renders tactics useless.

Even so...

if I get in close,

they won't be able to use it!

A blaze luminous!

That huge?!

Damocles was originally built

to achieve absolute air superiority.

If it keeps ascending, we'll lose our chance to do anything against it!

Suzaku! Can you break through those defenses?

I'm trying! But their power output is in a different league from mine!

I don't think they can fire a F.I.E.I.J.A. now, though.

And our attacks can't get through to them, either.

We may as well be spectators now.

Is there nothing left but for the world to cower

before the overwhelming might of F.I.E.I.J.A.s?

Well, that achieves a sort of peace, too.

Mass our remaining forces around the Avalon!

We'll assault Damocles with the hostages aboard here!

Sure you wanna do that?

Your return here means you've almost figured it out, I presume.

The rest depends on you and Suzaku, Your Majesty.

From behind?!

The Black Knights!

I swear I will defeat you myself!

You snuck around me, Xing-ke?!

I won't let the Avalon be shot down!

Xing-ke, I'll stop you!

Justice weighs on my side!

It's over!

--What?! --Kururugi!

I'm amazed you can still fight in your condition!

It disgusts me to think that you abandoned your nation to climb in rank!

What do you have to fight for?!

All I want is a future!

Your future is worthless!

I've failed!

Tohdoh!

Damn!

Ah! I have to admit, they did well.

Primary float unit, damaged. Damage level 75%.

We're falling... The Avalon is falling!

They're trying to get in!

Hold it, hold it, hold it!

Okay, now to settle things once and for...

No, I'm not giving up!

I've got pride, too!

I wasn't in time.

They got in.

If we get them into a hand-to-hand fight, we have a chance to win!

Cut power and communications, then rescue the hostages!

Zun ming!

Holding out this long was good enough.

Land the ship in the Pacific.

You all will now follow mission Apate Aletheia.

Master Lelouch...

You have served me well.

I am grateful for the resolution you all have shown.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Should we fire the F.I.E.I.J.A. here?

We still have the blaze luminous. We should wait for criticality.

Good point. It's a good chance to eliminate the Black Knights, though.

No, I suppose I shouldn't. We mustn't be greedy.

Yes, I understand. This is a personal request from me. However...

It was also Princess Euphemia's wish, wasn't it?

Which is why... I have to do it.

However, unless the environmental data is entered into the final program,

the device won't be complete. Let me go with you.

You've done enough, Nina.

Though we may have been on the student council together,

I admire how you've stuck with me, Zero, the man who killed Euphy,

the first person to acknowledge you.

I can't forgive Zero.

Maybe not for the rest of my life.

But...

...this is separate from that. I just had to find my own answer to all this.

That's all.

You really are amazing.

C.C., you're all right?

Well, that's a switch. Were you worried about me?

As a valued combatant.

That's why I came to get this.

Then you'll escort me?

You're going out there, right?

Even though you may have to kill Nunnally yourself?

If she stands in the way of the Zero Requiem, I have no choice.

Lelouch... Don't you hate me?

I changed your fate drastically by giving you Geass.

This isn't what a witch is supposed to say, is it?

C.C., the Geass you gave me...

What you gave me only started me down the road.

Everything that followed was my doing.

I've never met a man like you.

C.C...

Kallen!

I'm going to stop you!

Goodbye, Lelouch!

Leave this to me! Get to Damocles!

You stubborn...!

But you're no match for the Guren!

I'm glad that you care.

I have to succeed.

How unsightly.

Realignment complete.

Nunnally.

"It can't be, " I think Now we will end it. You can do this, right?

When I awaken, just as always

I'm left going nowhere

When I look back, I see...

I still haven't moved past that start line

So let's try regathering

The pieces of a mosaic

Coming together one by one

To form the picture

The meetings and partings I've had with you

Princess Euphemia!

The F.I.E.I.J.A.!

It disappeared?!

It worked...

I didn't expect them to have made a toy like that.

Now! Fly in!

They've penetrated the blaze!

Indeed, they have.

Enemy infiltration, alpha-3.

The key! The Damocles key!

Delta block, communications cut!

Float unit control room 6 has been destroyed!

Prince Schneizel!

I salute you, Lelouch. For forcing me to use my final plan.

You're really going to do that?

Yes. Turn Damocles into a prison for Lelouch and the others.

After we abandon ship, we'll destroy Damocles itself with a F.I.E.I.J.A.

A fine coffin for him. I'm sure you'll be pleased with it, Lelouch.

What?!

Lelouch! I don't accept your Britannia!

I'll destroy you here and now!

How is it so powerful?!

Gino!

Suzaku!

Lelouch, go on ahead! There's an enemy you have to defeat

and a person you have to save!

Right!

You flee?!

Gino, you insist on fighting me?

Yes. Because I have to protect something within me!

I'm fighting to protect something, too!

I won't be beaten by you!

Is Schneizel on the command and control floor? Or else is he...?

Seventh sequence.

F.I.E.I.J.A. detonation point reset to within Damocles!

Damocles and F.I.E.I.J.A.s are both just machines in the end.

We can always rebuild them.

But the Tromo Agency doesn't have the resources for that.

Not Rosenberg, either.

Lelouch is now the enemy of the entire world.

If we offer the system that destroyed him,

there will be all sorts of organizations happy to build F.I.E.I.J.A.s for us.

Isn't that essentially terrorism?

There's Princess Nunnally's opinion to consider, as well.

And why should you care what your bait thinks?

Surely, you wouldn't... You're abandoning her?!

World peace or a single life...

Sad to say, one cannot be compared to the other.

The key! Where's the key?

I have to stop big brother!

We have to hold out here!

Everyone, stand fast and let none challenge you!

I hate what Lelouch has become.

The Knight of Six?!

A fitting opponent for me!

You have no country to defend! Nothing to avenge!

You also don't have a shred of ambition!

Someone with no reason to fight

should just leave!

I've made a reason to fight. A promise.

Are you saying that you love Lelouch?!

Who knows?

It's just that I thought it's time I stopped merely "accumulating experiences."

That makes you sound almost human!

Well done.

Kallen... You win.

That really doesn't matter. Goodbye.

Win or lose, I never thought I still had those feelings in me.

The key! Where's the key?! Where is it?!

I have to stop big brother!

I have to!

Standing by to launch.

Rendezvous point with Sir Hartgren is as planned, no changes.

Course, clear. Ceiling, favorable.

I've been waiting for you, Schneizel.

I see. I suppose this means you have me in a checkmate.

I see.

Please tell me, how did you know what my plan was?

It wasn't your plan. What I anticipated was your basic nature.

You only play a game where you know you can't lose.

So, you knew I would abandon Damocles?

Schneizel, this time, I'm making sure that you lose.

Meaning, you're going to kill me.

Hong Gu, move from corridor 3 to take the bridge.

The U.F.N. representatives are...

Xing-ke!

Your Majesty! Are you all right?

Those people saved us!

Master Xing-ke, we're on your side.

You mean you've betrayed Lelouch?

He threatened us!

But now that Lelouch is gone...

At the very least, we can believe that they think dictatorship is wrong.

Very well.

Yeah. It looks like the final battle will be inside of Damocles.

Ohgi is... I mean, the general secretary is...

Either way. You're saying he's okay, right?

Y-Yes...

In the end, brother didn't kill me.

He really doesn't have any driving ambitions.

In a more normal world, he would have made an excellent king.

I was a fool not to have read through that, wasn't I?

Princess...

You still insist on calling me that?

Yes. Emperor Charles sought the past. You seek the present.

But I seek the future!

The future may be worse than the present.

No. It'll be better. Because, no matter how long it takes,

people will continue to seek happiness.

Your foolishness knows no limits, either. You're too emotional.

Enough of this. Kill me now.

But you will still be annihilated by a F.I.E.I.J.A.

We will give our lives for the peace of the world...

Which is why I have chosen...

...to give you the gift of the words, "You shall serve Zero."

You never intended to kill me at all!

H-Highness...

Dammit! It was a prerecorded movie?

He's pieced together a video designed to keep Schneizel talking,

and lull us off our guard!

--Using my own specialty! --Order me to do whatever you wish, Master Zero.

Schneizel...

Your willingness to let yourself be killed is what led you to your defeat.

Don't move!

Zero! Your story is already finished!

You shouldn't even be alive!

What right have you to deny my existence?

Z-Zero... At least... finish me, too... with your Geass...

Diethard, you aren't worth wasting my Geass on.

You, who have basked in the favor of prominent nobles,

cannot defeat me!

We'll see about that!

This is the result, Gino.

No. I've fulfilled my role.

He damaged the blaze luminous system?

Now, Kallen!

Thanks, Gino!

Suzaku! I've come to end it.

Our paths will never cross again!

It's you, isn't it, big brother?

Yes.

Are you here for the Damocles key?

Yes. It's dangerous. Dangerous to you.

That's the reason.

Huh?

The reason I can't close my eyes to this anymore.

She's broken Father's Geass?!

And it's the face of a murderer, isn't it?

I probably have the same face, don't I?

Then... It's been you firing the F.I.E.I.J.A.s up till now.

Yes. I wanted to stop this. To stop you.

Even if that meant killing you, big brother.

As it cannot shine of itself, it is destined to vanish one day,

Though "affectionate kindness" may be a lie

it's still a phrase that can see me off

Are you saying it would have been better

to continue living our lives in hiding?

Did you want a future of constant fear of assassination?

This was for your future, too.

When did I ever ask you to do this?!

The cosmos to look upon me

are the pathways that lead to the future

Ah, such is the age we live in

that loneliness surrounds us

Then what about Damocles?

Isn't it a system to force people to obey just as despicable?!

Damocles will become the symbol of their hatred.

Their hatred will be focused here.

So that everyone will move towards the future.

I see. Nunnally, you got the same idea. In that case...

Lelouch vi Britannia commands you!

Give me the Damocles key!

No! I mustn't give it to you!

All the sins you've committed!

Here you go, big brother.

Impudent!

Recording, complete.

Not quite!

Detonate!

Memorize this! Make a record of Jeremiah Gottwald!

Commemorate the name of the man who defeated you!

Commemorate? That has nothing to do with it. I have no memories...

No memories? Could it be?!

C'mon, Tristan, move! Just let me fly!

Even the radiant wave surger is out of ammo now.

My shield energy's exhausted now, too?

Even so...!

I can't beat her! Even using the curse that Geass has given me!

Kallen, your strength is unimaginable!

My machine has better specs than yours, and yet...

Suzaku, with your strength... Why?!

Let's end it, Kallen!

If you just had justice on your side!

No... It didn't get him?!

No, Kallen... You got me.

I see... You won, Kallen...

You used your Geass on me, didn't you?!

Wait!

Wait! Stop!

How can you be so cruel?!

Attention, world!

I am Lelouch vi Britannia, emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire!

Impossible!

If Lelouch used the F.I.E.I.J.A., then that means...!

No!

No way!

Schneizel has surrendered to me.

Because of this, I now control both Damocles and the F.I.E.I.J.A.s.

And even the Black Knights no longer have the strength to oppose me.

If anyone dare oppose me now,

they shall know the power of F.I.E.I.J.A.!

Those who can challenge my military rule no longer exist!

Yes! From this day, from this moment forward, the world belongs to me!

Lelouch vi Britannia commands you! Obey me, world!

All hail Lelouch!

All hail Lelouch! All hail Lelouch!

All hail Lelouch!

"Two months later" "Imperial Crown Colony of Japan"

as well as CEO of the Black Knights

and the current chairman of the U.F.N. supreme council,

His Majesty Lelouch vi Britannia has come into view.

And look at this, too. Those who foolishly opposed Emperor Lelouch

are being taken to the execution grounds.

While it was paid for with the sacrifices of the capital, Pendragon; the lives of many soldiers;

and the life of Sir Suzaku Kururugi, the Knight of Zero, in the recent great war,

now that the E.U. has ratified the United Federation of Nations charter,

Emperor Lelouch has finally achieved the grand task of unifying the world!

Glory to His Majesty Lelouch!

All hail Britannia! All hail Lelouch!

Glory, my ass.

This is just a dictatorship.

Anyone who disobeys him is killed!

Shh! If somebody hears you...

...they'll kill your entire family!

I can't believe we have to broadcast this and call it justice!

Lelouch, is that what you wanted to do?

To control the world? To control everyone?!

You all weren't very bright.

If you hadn't disobeyed Lelouch when you did...

It was so we could move into the future.

--Huh? --Through repeated success and failure, we advance.

That goes for people as well as for science.

That's evolution.

You mean progress, don't you, Earl of Pudding?

That name you call me...

Are you still bitter about that?

Maybe. I'm not sure.

Dr. Lloyd and Ms. Rakshata...

Did something happen between them before?

It's hardly worth mentioning.

When I think about it now, it wasn't really anything.

It was just a starting point.

If you go out now, you'll be playing right into their hands!

But...!

What is that?

Zero?!

Zero?

Z-Zero?!

It can't be! Lelouch is over there!

Is that it?! Is that what Lelouch and the others were doing?!

Cease fire! I'll take care of him!

Fool!

As planned, the world's hatred is focused on me.

All that remains is to get rid of me and break the chain of hatred.

The legend of Zero lives on in the Black Knights.

Schneizel will serve Zero, too.

With this, the world will be able to gather not through force of arms,

but around one table for discussion.

They can move forward into the future.

And that...

Yes.

...is the Zero Requiem.

We both knew it back in Cs' World. How people were longing for the future.

Say, Suzaku... Geass is like a wish, isn't it?

It's a request to someone to give you the power to achieve

what you can't on your own.

A wish, huh?

Yes. I'm going to cast the Geass called a wish on people.

For the future of the world.

Lelouch...

The price of the Geass you're going to cast on them is...!

The only people who should kill are those prepared to die themselves!

Suzaku... You're going to be a hero now.

As the messiah who saved the world from Emperor Lelouch vi Britannia,

the enemy of the world.

As Zero.

I... Lelouch!

This, then, shall be your punishment.

You will live on, wearing that mask, as the knight of justice.

You will no longer live as Suzaku Kururugi.

You shall sacrifice your own ordinary pleasure to the world...

...for evermore...

This Geass... I do accept.

Big brother?

No... Everything you did until now was...

Big brother, I love you!

Yes...

I...

I destroy... the world...

...and create it...

...anew...

Big brother!

No! Please, open your eyes! Big brother! Big brother!

The demon Lelouch is dead!

Free the prisoners!

Leave it to Zero!

Uh-oh. Retreat! Retreat, at once!

Is it possible? Is that...?

It's Zero!

That's... That's Zero there!

It's not fair... All I needed to be happy was to be with you!

How can I face the future without you?

Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero!

Well, Lelouch,

the world's gotten a lot better since that day.

All the energy once directed towards war

has now been turned toward poverty and education.

Most of the hatreds and evil deeds that stood in our way

have been laid at your feet.

It's all being chalked up as the villainous Emperor Lelouch's doing.

We're so quick to simplify our past troubles.

But still, perhaps because of that, people are free of the past

and able to move forward into the future now.

Hey, Lulu, society--

the whole world still has a lot of problems remaining,

but even so, we're on track to make great changes.

If it were possible, I wish you could see this world, too, Lulu.

Well? Did everything go according to your plan? Or instead...

Wanting to overcome, just wanting to change,

even pushing yourself up against the wall,

unable to be honest anymore,

did you burn or let yourself just fade away?

Did you burn or let yourself just fade away?

Is it better just to burn than fade away?

Some live the dream to die for this moment

Some wait for signs for heavens to open

It's not pretending who you are

if we are the proof of what we've done

To do what is right

or do what you're told

They're both the same, can't make everyone happy

It's not pretending who you are

if we are the proof of what we've done

Wanting to overcome, just wanting to change,

even pushing yourself up against the wall,

unable to be honest anymore

did you burn or let yourself just fade away?

Did you burn or let yourself just fade away?

Is it better just to burn than fade away?

If I lived my dream to die for this moment

would I choose the same, in spite of what the world says?

It's not pretending who you are

if we are the proof of what we've done

What makes it right?

And who makes it wrong?

Who in the hell decided this all along?

It's not pretending anymore

if we are the proof of what we've done

Wanting to overcome, wanting to vanish away,

telling yourself you've kept what you had to keep,

unable to be honest anymore

did you burn or let yourself just fade away?

Did you burn or let yourself just fade away?

Is it better just to burn than fade away?

Wanting to overcome, just wanting to change,

we started looking for signs denying every direction

unable to admit that we were scared

Do we burn or let ourselves just fade away?

Is it better just to burn than fade...

Wanting to go beyond anyone else,

even pushing yourself up against the wall,

unable to be honest anymore

did you burn or let yourself just fade away?

Did you burn or let yourself just fade away?

Wanting to overcome, just wanting to change,

do we burn or let ourselves just fade away?

Unable to be honest anymore

Is it better just to burn than fade away?

Unable to admit that we were scared

do we burn or let ourselves just fade away?

Wanting to overcome, just wanting to change

Wanting to go beyond anyone else

Oh, Jeremiah and Shirley, all the way out here?

Say, Lelouch, should I still wait for the promise to be fulfilled?

Or am I still supposed to wander through time?
