Actions you take are answered by the consequences waiting at their conclusion.
There are no exceptions.
And Lelouch's power is no use against them.
Even though he possesses the absolute power to make anyone to obey him,
there is no escape from the inevitable.
He took these actions to avenge his mother's death.
Lelouch also took them to create a world for his younger sister, Nunnally, to live in happily.
However, the world... People have forced him to face consequences he never expected,
and they ask for more.
If you say that such escalation will weave out a new world,
then who shall be charged with the crimes committed...
and will there be punishment for them to accept?
The dream that I dreamed Yumemiteta yume
Endless and distant Hatenai tooku
The sky-blue of dry days, in my hands Kawaita hibi no sorairo, te no naka
In the space between each tick of the clock Toukankaku oto no naka de
Trial and error Shikousakugo
A space without distance or time Jikan kankaku no nai kuukan
Making a life-sized sound Toushindai oto wo tatete
It defines my face Boku no kao tsukutte yuku
Cleanly, but only one side Kirei ni katahou dake
This rotting apple... Kono te ni ochita
That's fallen into my hand Kusarikake no ringo
Reflecting in the mirror Kagami ni utsuru
Even showing our other side Bokura no uragawa made
In the space between each tick of the clock Toukankaku oto no naka de
Trial and error Shikousakugo
A space without distance or time Jikan kankaku no nai kuukan
With life-sized claws bared Toushindai tsume wo tatete
I shave my face Boku no kao wo kezutte yuku
Cleanly, but only one side Kirei ni katahou dake
A distant sensation Toukankaku
SHIRLEY AT GUNPOINT
He was a pious man who believed in God.
He was a good friend to us all.
To his wife, he was a good husband.
To his child, he was a good father.
Father...
Now, let him rest in peace.
No! Stop it!
Don't bury him anymore! Don't make him suffer any more!
Darling! Darling!
Mom? Mom, please.
Daddy? I'm going to be your wife someday!
I appreciate it, dear. But your kindergarten teacher told you, didn't she?
Someday, you'll meet someone you'll fall in love with.
More than you?
Yes.
There's more to it than just saying you love them.
But if you truly love that person...
and that person sincerely loves you as well,
then I'll be happy from the bottom of my heart.
I just... I'm so sorry, Shirley!
Oh, stop that. What do you have to apologize for?
I'm sorry, too!
It's just... During the hoteljacking,
when I saw them on TV, I thought the Black Knights were kind of cool...
I mean, even the news handled it all wrong!
I even posted how I thought what happened in Narita was kind of cool in some on-line forums.
So... I'm so sorry!
Don't be like that! That has nothing to do with this.
Even I thought what happened in Narita was kind of cool, but...
Just stop.
I'm more worried about you.
Did you have a good cry?
If you try holding it in, it'll just be harder later on.
I'm okay now. I'm fine...
I had my cry.
It was cowardly!
The Black Knights... Zero's methods are cowardly!
He doesn't face the challenge himself!
All he does is use people, stir up trouble,
then acts like a judge and declares himself the winner!
That isn't going to change anything!
Anything gained doing things the wrong way is just meaningless!
Anyway, it's time we got going.
Shirley, we'll be waiting for you.
In the same old student council room. So, please...
C'mon everyone, let's go.
Hey, Lelouch!
Um? What?
Lulu... Forgive me.
That wasn't fair of me.
What I did...
It really wasn't fair, was it?
The way I did it... You had no other choice.
So, please just forget it, okay? I'm sorry if I put you in a bad spot.
What I did...
I went about it the wrong way.
I mean, you kissed me, and I'm not even happy about it!
Shirley!
You regret it? Involving your friend's father in all this?
Didn't you accuse Kirihara of being too soft?
You said you were ready to walk the path of blood.
Shut up.
But you're the soft one.
Did you think this was all some sort of game?
You've killed many people up till now.
With your own hands. Or with your words.
Shut up!
They all had families, too. Lovers. Friends.
Surely you're not telling me you didn't understand that.
Is that how prepared you were for this?
SHUT UP! I am prepared!
I have been from the moment I killed Clovis!
Then why do you hesitate now?
Or are you shaken by your feelings? From a kiss she pleaded for?
So, despite the airs you put on,
in the end you're just a gullible little boy with a swelled head and a big mouth.
At this point, you have no right to be shaken or to stop.
You need to keep going in order to live, right?
Don't disappoint me.
Yes, that is why people discriminate against each other.
Is that why you killed my brother?
Because I think the ends are just as worthless if the means to them are wrong!
So, are you really going to do it?
It's easy to say whatever you want!
No, don't! We may have different mothers, but I'm still your brother!
It's just one-sided self-satisfaction!
And to have this world you want...
I wish the world was a gentle place.
You appear to have a reason for living.
To change everything.
You go to walk the path of blood?
Ohgi? It's me, Zero.
Data logger S-4, contact.
Protocol established. Handshake, confirmed. Ygdrassil Drive is at stage 1.
How unfortunate, Suzaku!
We have orders from Princess Cornelia's royal guard.
They say we'll be participating in the next operation!
So, are they acknowledging your skill, or using you as a decoy again?
Mr. Lloyd?
Yes?
Shall I give you lessons on the proper way to treat people?
Thanks, but I'll pass.
Now, about that operation...
J- Just wait a second, Zero!
I realize this is a request from Kyoto, and we'd have no problem accepting it.
And I'm sure the Japan Liberation Front would prefer to fight with us...
rather than escaping to a foreign country, but...
You're Diethard, who offered us this information, correct?
Yes. I'm honored that you'd see me like this, Zero.
Is it true that Princess Cornelia is deploying the mechanized marines...
in order to capture Gen. Katase of the Liberation Front?
Yes. We're all ready at the network station for a special report on it.
Col. Tohdoh will never be able to rendezvous with Gen. Katase.
In short, the Japan Liberation Front has no real military power at the moment.
All they can rely on to fund their escape is the liquid Sakuradite they have.
Which is why helping Gen. Katase to escape should come before fighting Princess Cornelia...
Ohgi! Who are we?
The... The Black Knights.
Then we have but one task!
We must destroy Cornelia's troops to rescue the remnant forces of the J.L.F!
Now, tonight, we are going to regain what we forgot at Narita!
What are our chances of winning?
That's a foolish question.
Understood.
Begin preparations for the operation.
Everyone, stand by on your current orders.
Um... Zero, wait!
I have something to do. If you wish to talk to me, leave it for later.
The viceroy may still disapprove of using Numbers,
but my motto is "Use the right people for the right job."
Even if it's the son of the former Japanese prime minister.
Our target is Katase.
If we can just get him, the Japan Liberation Front is finished.
The capture will be conducted by the mechanized marines.
Your job will be to provide supporting fire from the shore until the marines have captured Katase...
as well as to annihilate any remnant forces after the capture.
Annihilate them, sir?
No one aside from the target can be left alive.
Warrant Officer Suzaku Kururugi! Demonstrate your loyalty to Britannia!
This is your chance to advance. Don't waste it.
Yes, my lord.
So, will you prove your loyalty?
You're being tested.
CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion
Lulu...
It isn't true, is it?
He can't be working for such a suspicious character!
There's a possibility that this boy is related to the Black Knights.
The Black Knights?!
Terrorists.
It's not true!
It can't be... It has to be a lie!
Lulu...
Forgive me for distrusting you like this, but!
Please... Let me believe in you!
Damn. Looks like she lost him.
If she'd contacted me sooner, I could have done more!
Maybe I should have taken the boy into custody first!
No... I need conclusive proof.
If he talks to the girl, I'll learn the connection.
All the more vital if he does have some method of manipulating memory.
I won't have to die after losing my position and honor, like Jeremiah!
No, I'll use this chance to advance!
And for that, I need to find a clue to! ero. By myself!
Who's there?
Oh! I'm sorry! Excuse me!
Are you unsure now?
I thought we were doing this for justice.
I've fought until now because I thought it was the right thing to do.
That's how I was able to kill people. But now...
Is what we're doing... Is what we're doing really going to be able to change the world?!
We can change it. Or rather, we have to change it.
But!
But there will be sacrifices?
Not just soldiers, but innocent bystanders as well.
Even so...
Because of that, we can't stop now!
No matter what the means...
Even if people look down on us as cowards, we have to win!
And for that, blood will have to be shed.
To ensure that the blood already spilled wasn't in vain, we have to spill even more of it.
But I won't force you to.
Kallen, if you're going to turn back, now's the time.
We'll keep going together. I go where you go.
Thank you, Kallen.
Yes. You saved me before.
Thank you.
C.C., I need you...
I...
I can't afford to make the same mistake again.
It's time.
Commence operation!
All underwater units, enter water now!
Dive! Dive! Dive!
Special suppression team, use category C weaponry!
Our unit will cover them from the shore.
Be careful not to sink the target tanker!
Yes, my lord.
Once underwater torpedo attack is confirmed, all units fire at will.
Repeat, after torpedo attack, fire at will.
It can't be! Terrorists?!
It's started, Zero.
Zero? Do we move out or not? Zero? Hey!
Do you hear me?! They're attacking the J.L.F!
We can't do it now.
Cornelia moved faster than I expected.
If we move in now, we'll die with them.
Commence support fire.
Additional! You are restricted to micro round ordnance!
Be careful not to ignite that liquid Sakuradite!
Damn those Britannians! When did they?!
Enemy units! They're coming from the water!
Itagaki!
2-0-2, 5-0-3, intensify torpedo barrage bearing to 9 o'clock.
What we're doing... This isn't a battle anymore.
Warrant Officer Kururugi.
Yes?
I know this may be hard, but you're a professional soldier.
Yes... Understood.
How could they have found out about us?! Where's Tohdoh?!
We can't locate him or the Four Holy Swords!
What about Kyoto?! Didn't they say they'd send help?!
They should have, but we have no way of contacting them now!
They're just going to let us all die?! Just stand there and let us die?!
We surrender! Please, cease fire at once!
This is the Japan Liberation Front! We surrender!
Major, they're issuing a surrender on an open channel!
Ignore it.
But, sir!
See? It was just a ploy to buy time.
Now follow your orders without hesitation!
Is Lulu really in the Black Knights?!
Dammit! If we wait any longer, it'll be too late!
When does Zero plan to move?!
I pray Zero isn't just an idealist, but...
The Knightmares have grabbed onto the ship!
I see. There should be only one escape route now.
They have to take very good care of that liquid Sakuradite, after all.
! ero! If we don't hurry...
Understood. Move out.
Wh- What's happening?!
Of all the idiotic things!
They blew up the liquid Sakuradite?!
As I'd expect of the Japan Liberation Front.
They chose to take the Britannians with them!
Suicide? But, what about that message they sent?
We're going to rush Cornelia's headquarters straight on!
Nothing besides that matters!
Results take priority over everything!
If you want to pay them back for the blood shed by the Japan Liberation Front,
then capture Cornelia and show them our determination and our strength!
This is like Narita all over again!
In that case!
Hey! Where are you going?!
He used the Liberation Front as a decoy and is attacking the now short-handed main force.
A typical plan, and yet a bit weak, too.
Trying to run?! Hey!
I see! He did it to weaken his opponents!
He used the useless Liberation Front as a living trap!
Yes,! ero is excellent material.
The incarnation of chaos!
Show me more! Show me more of what you can do!
Show me the world your ego would build!
E-Enemy attack?!
204, signal lost!
Erickson, form up with 308!
Provide support!
All units, status report! Repeat, all units, status report!
Did he really blow himself up? Gen. Katase?
The main force!
Could they have used the tanker as a decoy?!
Mount Frames, at once! Form a defense line at once!
How could they have known?!
Your Highness!
Knock their Knightmares into the sea before their pilots can mount them!
Guren Mk-II, you're with me!
Yes, sir!
Your Highness, leave this to us!
Silence! How many times will I allow them to mock me like this?!
Before I can start up!
You think you can best me in Knightmare combat?!
That new model again?!
I'll smash your hatch and drag you out of there...
Cornelia!
Shirley?!
Zero! Your methods won't change anything!
Are you so set on pursuing your goals you don't see you're hurting other people?!
ZERO!
Now to pay you back for what happened at Narita!
You again, White Helmet!
You use lives as decoys without a second thought!
You're nothing but a murderer!
Why?! Why do you always get in my way?!
Why do you spill people's blood meaninglessly?!
If it wasn't for you!
Because of you!
Zero... This is another outcome of what you do.
Lancelot, behind you!
Zero, I'll protect you!
Is this Zero's?
Then... with this!
l... I'll take revenge... for my father!

No matter what, things begin to come apart.
No matter when, doubts still form.
Within my heart, bit by bit, feelings weigh heavier.
Are they the foundation for the future?
Or are they the stumbling blocks of the past?
The answer I must confront lies within me.
