CODE GEASS - Lelouch of the Rebellion -
August 10th in the year 2010 of the Imperial Calendar.
The Holy Britannian Empire declared war upon Japan.
The island nation in the Far East which argued for its neutrality...
and Britannia, the world's greatest superpower.
There was a dispute between the two sides over Japan's underground resources,
and the diplomatic tensions between them were deep-rooted.
In the deciding battle for the mainland, the Britannian forces...
introduced the humanoid autonomous battle armored knight...
known as the Knightmare Frame into actual combat.
As their power was far greater than anticipated,
the mainland defense line of the Japanese forces...
was completely broken by the Knightmares.
Japan became a dominion of the empire.
It was stripped of its freedom, its rights, and even its name.
Area 11.
That number became the new name of the defeated nation of Japan.
I swear...
Suzaku, I swear...!
I'm going to obliterate Britannia!
Jibun wo sekai sae mo The moment when I might be able...
Kaete shimae sou na shunkan wa To change myself and even the world
Itsumo sugu soba ni It's always right there at my side
Kakusenu iradachi to Even as I stood still, looking at myself
Tachitsukusu jibun wo mitsume With undisguised frustration
Mayoi nagara nayami nagara Feeling lost, feeling anguished
Kuyami nagara kimereba ii sa Feeling mournful, deciding what to do
Kimi ga kureta kotoba hitotsu All it took was a single word from you
Tomadoi wa kiesari And my uncertainty vanished
Karappo datta boku no heya ni hikari ga sashita You let the light shine into what was my empty room
Miageta oozora ga The sky I had been looking up at...
Aoku sumikitte yuku Cleared and turned blue
Tozashita madowo hiraku And I decided to throw open...
Koto kimeta The windows that were kept closed
Jibun wo sekai sae mo The moment when I might be able...
Kaete shimae sou na shunkan wa To change myself and even the world
Kanjiru ima koko ni I feel it right here with me
THE DAY A NEW DEMON WAS BORN
7 YEARS AFTER THE WAR. (2017 a.t.b.)
Britannian Residence -Tokyo Settlement-
This is alpha-3! Target is moving from delta-12 to delta-14! Moving at a speed of 80kph!
CCP to all mobile units!
Declaring a code 3 from floor 5 through floor 2.
All units, take 2-8-8. I want the target intact!
This is video of yesterday's terrorist bombing in Osaka.
8 Britannians and 51 others were killed in this horrible incident.
You're out of time.
From here on, I'd like it to be one move every 20 seconds.
Very well.
Hm? Has your substitute arrived?
I'm saved! Are things okay at school?
What's this? Students?
Hmpf! A nobleman, huh?
I envy the young. They have so much time on their hands.
So much time for regrets... Your name?
Lelouch Lamperouge.
Whoa! Whoa! You can't win this, no matter what you do, right?
Rivalz, in how many minutes should we leave here in order to make our next class?
Um, if we really haul ass, about 20 minutes.
In that case, I'll ask you to drive safely on the way back.
I'll need 9 minutes. Owner, about yesterday's matter...
Understood. We'll discuss it.
9 minutes? You have 20 seconds per move.
More than enough.
Hm? You're starting with the king?
Where's Lelouch?
Rivalz took him with him.
Is he pinch-hitting again? Is it poker this time?
They don't seem aware that they're on the student council!
They're gambling money!
Lulu may be smart, but he uses his brain in weird ways!
If he'd just study hard, his grades would be great, right?!
Oh, if only my dear Lulu was really a serious boy!
That's so adorable!
Ms. President, please...
God dammit! After we finally steal this thing...!
It's all because Tamaki couldn't stick to Naoto's plan!
I love playing nobility!
Their pride ensures that they pay what they owe you.
Besides that, 8 minutes, 32 seconds is a new record!
He didn't have much time, either.
Besides, nobility make such tepid opponents.
Their privileged lives just make them parasites.
So, why not try one of the Elevens?
They're not like us Britannians.
How cruel. Innocent people are getting caught up in this.
These Elevens scare me!
Forgive the delay. It's now time for an address...
by His Royal Highness Prince Clovis, third prince of the Britannian Empire.
To my imperial subjects!
And of course, to the many Elevens who cooperate with us!
We're not Elevens! We're Japanese!
Do you not see? Right now, my heart is torn in half!
Into a heart filled with sadness and a heart filled with rage!
However, as ruler of Area 11, I will not allow terrorism of any kind!
The reason being that the battle we fight is a righteous one!
A righteous battle to protect the happiness of all!
Now then, everyone!
Won't you join me in grieving...
for the eight who died in the line of duty for justice?
And now, a moment of silence.
Oh? Not gonna join in?
Will you?
I'd be embarrassed.
Exactly.
Besides, our crying for them won't bring the dead back to life.
Ooh, how dark!
In the end, it's all just self-satisfaction.
No matter how hard you may try,
there's no way you can ever change the world.
You were wonderful, Your Highness!
One would never guess you were just enjoying yourself at a party!
The viceroy is the face of Area 11.
You need to be able to switch roles quickly.
My! Such self-confidence you have!
I'm prepared.
Self-confidence? I'm just trying to please the media people.
Oh, no, no! We're pleased to be of any assistance in your reign, Prince Clovis!
-A sham of a reign...
- Oh, you flatterer, you!
Your Highness!
A soldier?
How boorish of you!
I beg your pardon, Your Highness, but...!
Another special? I hope the subject matter will be better--
You fool!
Th-The police have been told it's just medical equipment.
If we scramble our entire army, there'll be records--
Send out my personal forces! Knightmares as well!
Alert 1! Alert 1!
4th, 7th, and 8th rapid reaction companies...
as well as the 31st air assault group, immediate scramble!
Special division 9, stand by for deployment!
That first move you made...
Why'd you start with the king?
If the king doesn't lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?
About that...
What?
Do you want to run a corporation or something?
No way. Weird dreams like that will ruin your life--
Whoa! What the hell?!
Just driving along, not a care in the world...!
Stop! Not that way!
Um... Was that our fault?
I doubt it--
Control, the target has crashed at the abandoned V.O. building construction site.
Hold it! The military's taking this over. General Bartley's command.
The general?!
We have to retrieve it! No matter what! That thing is...!
What's...?
Hey, Lelouch! It looks like our energy line's been cut.
Right... Say, what's that?
Hey! Over here! Whoa! Nasty...
What, was there some sort of accident?
Probably a drunk driver.
Idiot!
Hey, maybe someone should go help them.
All these fools...!
Hey! Wait!
Look! The student rescue team has arrived!
Could somebody call the police or something?
Hey! Are you all right?!
Okay, look... I know it's the right thing to do,
but I wish he'd stop showing off this meaningless pride of his.
We're gonna be late for class now!
Nagata? Nagata!
Hey! Can you hear me in there?!
I've found you. My...
Where...?
Are you in there?
Hey! Stop! I'm not...!
Is that what you call a hit and run?
Why don't they have a ladder on the inside, too?!
Warning!
Surrender now and you still have a chance to defend yourself in court!
Surrender at once!
The next rounds will hit you! Surrender at once!
They've called out the army! Now what?!
That's why I'm here, isn't it?!
It's dangerous to get out. Sounds like there's trouble out there.
Maybe I can use my cell phone to--
Can you enter the subway via the Azabu route?
Kallen! Let's use it here!
That'd mean a slaughter!
Yeah, you're right.
That woman...
Where are you, Lelouch? We've gotta get to school!
The target's moving from the settlement area to the ghetto.
Right! Corner them!
Yes!
A slash harken?!
A Knightmare!
Shit! These guys are actual terrorists!
You guys know full well how powerful this thing is!
The rest of you, back off. I'll take this guy.
I don't know where you got that thing,
but an old Glasgow...
will never be able to stop this Sutherland!
Much less a damned Eleven who can't appreciate our Emperor's affection!
Kallen, we need to split up!
We can't both get killed! Run for it!
But...!
How simpleminded.
What's wrong?! Dammit...!
Secondhand junk!
Oh, ho!
I like your spirit. However...!
I'm outside my cell phone's range.
This darkness and the road surface...
We must be speeding along the old subway lines.
They're headed for a ghetto somewhere. Exiting will be dangerous.
Still... Okay, I've got it.
The conditions are clear.
I may not like army protection much, but if I give them a terrorist communicator...
SHINJUKU IMPERIAL GARDENS
Shinjuku 3-chome
Yotsuya 3-chome
I may not like army protection much, but if I give them a terrorist communicator...
Oh, wait. I forgot...
Damn him... Leaving me behind in a lurch!
Ah-ha!
Wh-Why doyou know about it?!
Well, am I right?
Why, you...!
You overdid it.
The terrorists stole something you and Prince Clovis were working on secretly.
Retrieving it would be simple,
but you want to sweep up their compatriots as well.
If you let the terrorists go, you'll find their hideout, too.
Congratulations! Your reasoning was bang on target!
No, I just thought it was strange...
Enough!
So, what does the Special Corps want in all this?
I'm saying I'd like to help with the cleanup!
Help?
Yes. I want data.
So, what is it they stole, anyway?
Chemical weapons. In other words... Poison gas.
CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion
The terrorists are hiding inside the subway system.
Your mission is to find the weapon stolen by the terrorists.
Investigate the old subway system in the Shinjuku ghetto where the Elevens live.
Call in as soon as you spot them.
Recovery of the target will be handled by using the royal guard.
You people may have the title of honorary Britannians now,
but you were originally Elevens!
The stench of these monkeys should be familiar to you!
If you want to earn the right to carry weapons, get some results!
Here's your chance to show your loyalty to Britannia!
Yes, my lord!
An accident?! Or else...
N-No good...
Please, Ohgi... Find me...!
4-0-4 has sighted the target.
Right! Prepare for recovery!
I can use this chance to climb up--
A... A Britannian...!
Enough with the killing!
Wait! I'm...!
I can't believe you people would use poison gas!
Don't play dumb!
I'm telling you...!
If there's any poison gas here, it was Britannia that made it, right?!
You...!
You don't want more deaths?!
Then obliterate Britannia!
Lelouch?
It's me, Suzaku.
You became a Britannian soldier?
And you? Don't tell me you're...!
What are you saying?!
It's not poison gas...?
Sorry. In all the confusion, I left my radio in my coat.
It's okay. The Glasgow's systems are usable. Anyway, were we right?
Yeah. I think it's poison gas, like our intelligence said.
And Nagata?
I dunno. I think he made it underground.
Answer me, Suzaku. Poison gas? This girl?
But that's what we were told in the briefing!
Damn monkey!
Even an honorary Britannian doesn't have the authority to do what you've done!
But I was told this was poison gas!
You have no right to protest!
We're in trouble. This is definitely poison.
A deadly poison that will endanger Suzaku's masters if it gets out.
However, in reward for your great achievements, I'll be merciful.
Private Kururugi, use this to execute the terrorist.
He's not a terrorist! He's a civilian who got caught up in this!
You little...!
That's an order! Didn't you swear your loyalty to Britannia?!
But...
But, I can't.
What?
I won't do it.
I won't shoot a civilian. Not him.
Then die.
Suzaku!
You look like a Britannian student, but it's just not your day.
After you've retaken the girl, kill the student!
Yes, my lord!
God damned...Britannians...
Long live Japan!
They got away?! You call yourselves the royal guard?!
Forgive me, my lord!
The blast was mainly directed upwards, but the bedrock--
Do you understand why I only told you people about this?!
W- We'll continue the investigation!
The plan has moved to the next phase.
But, Your Highness...!
If knowledge of her gets out, I'll be disinherited.
Tell them back home we're carrying out a planned urban renewal.
As Clovis, third prince of the empire, I order you!
Destroy the Shinjuku ghetto!
Why are the Britannians doing this?!
Dear, please!
Okay, sweep the next floor up.
Your enemies are garbage who can never become honorary Britannians!
Wipe out every last one of them!
Naturally.
Supervisor Jeremiah, General Bartley wants you to take command of area 2--
He's got staff officers, right?
It's been ages since I've had this much fun on the front lines!
What the hell are you?!
This chaos is all your fault, isn't it?!
But besides that, Britannia has...
They even killed Suzaku!
Not there?
It looks like he's gone to the front line.
Even though we brought the Lancelot here?
What should we do?
We steam rolled our way in here, but we don't have a Devicer to use it.
Okay? Wait here.
Well?
Only looks like Elevens here, sir.
Hm...
You're sure? The exit comes out here?
Yes, sir. It matches up with our map of the old city.
That jerk hung up on me!
An appropriate location for a terrorist to meet his end, isn't it?
You people...!
Still, you did well for a student.
As expected of a Britannian!
However, your future ends right here.
Don't kill him!
Hey!
We were to bring her back alive if possible, but...
We'll tell our superiors the following.
The royal guard found the terrorist hideout and wiped them out.
However, the hostage had already been tortured to death.
What do you think, Mr. Student?
What is this?
Suzaku... And now this girl...
Is this the end for me?
With me not having done a single thing in my life?
So easily... Nunnally...!
You don't want it to end here, do you?
What's...?
You appear to have a reason for living.
The girl? It can't be!
If you had power, you could live?
I'll make a deal with you.
In exchange for power, you must make my one wish come true.
Accept this contract, and while you will live in the world of humans,
you will live unlike any other human.
A different providence, a different time, a different life.
The power of the king will isolate you.
If you are prepared for it.
The Ragnarok Connection?
The myth is beginning again?
Very well! I accept your contract!
Tell me, how should a Britannian who hates Britannia live?
Are you some kind of radical?
What's wrong?Why not shoot? Your opponent is just a student.
Or have you realized?
The only people who should kill are those prepared to die themselves!
What...?!
Lelouch vi Britannia orders you!
All of you... Die!
Yes, Your Highness!
Fire!
Since that day, I've lived a lie.
The lie of living.
My name, too, a lie. My personal history, a lie.
Nothing but lies.
I was sick to death of a world that couldn't be changed.
But even in my lies, I couldn't give up in despair.
And yet, now I have it? Power?
Well, then!
