The specially administrated zone of Nippon...
There are some unpleasant rumors now spreading about Princess Euphemia over this.
You're referring to the Kamine Island matter, right? That's where she made contact with Zero.
I think there may be some connection with the top level.
There's none. The viceroy wasn't the only one asking what was going on.
In any case, our connections with them must be...
Right, we'll have to sever ties at once.
Too late.
All the evidence has been gathered, Vice-Minister.
The profit-sharing bribes from the N.A.C.
Gen. Darlton, I appreciate this. With this...
With this, we can finally sweep away the parasites who were sucking Prince Clovis dry.
More rats than expected are confused...
by Princess Euphemia's proposed special zone, aren't they?
Over twenty thousand people have applied to join the Nippon special zone.
The way things look, that number's just going to grow.
Thanks to you.
Because of what you represent to the Japanese people,
everyone believes in what we're doing here.
No... It must be because of the proclamation you made, Princess.
I'm thankful for this. Truly thankful.
As I am to you.
I hope you'll help me with everything that's still to come.
Yes, Your...
Please.
Yes.
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

BLOODSTAINED EUPHY
The specially administrated zone of Nippon, the first attempt its type in Britannia,
was personally proposed by Her Highness Princess Euphemia.
It cannot be dismissed that this novel idea...
is connected to the princess being a student a short while ago.
If Princess Euphemia says it's a good idea, then even I have to...
Euphy really is quite amazing, isn't she?
Now the terror groups in Area 11 will lose their popular support and fall apart.
Public order will be stabilized.
I personally oppose this.
But, since you understand the situation, you've sent Darlton to advise her, correct?
To ensure public policy stays on track.
It's an obvious measure for a viceroy to take.
Hmm...
Did you accept Euphy's future from the standpoint of a public official as well?
The Nippon special zone... It doesn't sound that bad.
Will the Japan they hand over have any value?
This concession came as a result of our resistance activities.
There's no shame in it.
Master Kirihara!
Did I hear correctly that you were promised a position...
in the special zone involving the Sakuradite mining rights?
Nothing to be suspicious of.
It's just a request to participate in the ceremony.
Clever excuse...
How dare you...
And Zero? What about the Black Knights?
The situation's serious! It's not just supporters.
Some of our own members have applied to the special zone!
Unlike the Black Knights, there's no risk in joining the Nippon special zone.
Besides, when you compare the pedigreed princess and the unknown masked man,
it's clear which one is more appealing.
Word is that Kyoto is cooperating with them, too.
What's up with that?!
Probably 'cuz they're offering equality.
Equality my ass! We can't just take their word for it!
I agree.
But unless we decide how to respond to this quickly...
You want to apply to the special zone?
There it won't matter who's Britannian and who's an Eleven.
Listen, if it works like Euphemia's proposal,
then it wouldn't be wrong for the Black Knights to support it, right?
Like she said, can we trust their promises?
Supporting the special zone doesn't contradict what Zero's said, does it?
But, that's...
First off, they'll force us to disarm.
That is a problem, isn't it?
And we'll get swallowed up in their regime and lose our independence.
On the other hand, if we don't support it, we become the enemies of freedom and equality.
Then first we have to support it!
Without any guarantees?
But we can't ignore it, either!
Sorry about having you drop me off like this.
Well, you helped me stock up on food and I heard you were meeting up with Shirley.
She's probably stocking up on food, too.
Everyone's getting panicky about this special zone starting.
Right, right. Anyway, you'd better make up with Shirley, soon.
I don't care about your "special zone!" I don't care about "support!"
I'd sooner die than sign that!
Oh, dear. It's Mr. Nobleman.
You think you're equal, now?!
The lower classes should just obey their betters without any back talk!
There it is. That's the true nature of the sub-viceroy's "benevolence."
What do you want?
Looking down from above. It feels good, doesn't it?
Hold it, student. Back off.
You should be the one who has to go home
Yeah, you're right. I'll be leaving now.
Hey, what did you say? Come back at once!
What's wrong, Mr. Nobleman?
Don't mistake borrowed power for your own ability!
Garbage like you should just die where no one can...
Come on, let's break this up.
Why don't you apologize too, Mister?
Insolent whelp! Why should I?!
Get lost!
Um... Thank you very much.
Oh, it was nothing.
He saved that Eleven, even though he's! ero!
Or... Because he's! ero?
But then, why was he talking with Princess Euphemia?
Stop it... If I dig too deep, it'll be dangerous.
The N.A.C... Or rather, Kyoto, as it's known among the terrorists.
Tomorrow, after the ceremony, why don't you break up your group and leave Mt. Fuji?
If they surrender peacefully, we can talk about a legal deal.
Of course, your support to the Black Knights will end.
Whether Zero comes or not tomorrow doesn't matter.
With this, that man's defeat is assured.
I'm home.
Welcome home, big brother. Where's Shirley?
Sorry, she never showed up. I couldn't contact her, either.
More of her getting back at you, huh? You seem sort of cold towards her lately.
You think so? I'll consider that.
Oh, Sayoko, could you bring us some tea, please?
Yes, as you wish.
Are you worried about something?
Is it about Euphy?
I won't be selfish and say I want to see her again.
It would just cause trouble for you and Euphy.
You like Euphy, don't you?
Yes, the same way you like her.
Yeah... I did like her.
This is the stadium for the inaugural ceremony for the specially administrated zone of Nippon.
The stadium is already stuffed full with Elevens- Sorry, I mean with Japanese.
Many Japanese who could not get inside are gathered outside.
Lesley, do you think ! ero will show up here?
No, he's apparently made no contact at this point in time.
CHINESE FEDERATION EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE CHAMBER
Will even Zero show? I doubt it. CHINESE FEDERATION EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE CHAMBER
Will even Zero show? I doubt it.
Not if the data we have on the man is true. E.U. CENTRAL COUNCIL CHAMBER
Princess Euphemia, it's time.
Right.
Zero.
It's Zero!
Zero's appeared!
He came after all!
You accept that you've lost?
What are you planning?!
I thought I would have to carry your identity with me to the grave!
If it becomes known that! ero is a Britannian prince, it's all over!
They'll mistake this for a farce planned by the Britannians!
It'll be the end of this specially administrated zone!
Your target is! ero. If he makes any suspicious moves, kill him at once!
Yes, My Lord!
Welcome, Zero! Welcome to the specially administrated zone of Nippon!
Euphemia li Britannia! I sincerely wish to speak with you!
With me?
Yes! With you alone!
Something major has happened, ladies and gentlemen!
! ero has boldly appeared!
Under Princess Euphemia's directions, he is moving toward G1.
I knew we should have gone there.
What choice did we have?
Everyone said that if Lancelot was there waiting, Zero wouldn't show.
There doesn't seem to be any obvious problem.
Then this way, please.
Princess Euphemia, it's dangerous to be alone with this man!
At least let me come with you!
It's all right. Please, just trust me.
C'mon, how long are we supposed to hang around here?
Wasn't having Zero tell us to wait here enough for you?
Yeah, but...
Everything starts after we confirm the Britanian's real intentions.
Deputy-commander?
Hm? Yes?
Because he knows what their intentions are,
he's told all of us to hide and stand by at all four corners, hasn't he?
It's dangerous to draw conclusions.
He's even having Diethard and Rakshata standing by.
I think he may be planning to kill Euphemia...
You're taking a lot of care, aren't you? Even though the cameras are off.
Because I've been in hiding for a long time. The fault of a certain empire, I'm afraid.
This is needle gun, made from ceramic and bamboo.
It can't be picked up on a detector.
Lelouch... You wouldn't shoot me, would you?
No, I wouldn't.
You'll be doing the shooting, Euphy.
Is this really all right, leaving her alone with Zero?
But she ordered us!
There's an emergency call button she can press.
What's wrong?
What are you doing with Zero?!
It looks like he can see me.
Is it because of our indirect contact and what happened at Kamine Island?
Or is it because he? But, if that's the case, then...
CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion
This ceremony is being broadcast worldwide.
And the world's going to see you, a Britannian princess, shoot Zero.
What do you think will happen then?
Violence would break out, I imagine.
Right.
Zero will become a martyr, tricked into a deathtrap,
and your popularity will crash to the Earth.
What kind of nonsense are you saying? Help me rebuild Japan...
If you arbitrarily push it upon us from on high, you're being just as bad as Clovis was!
All conditions for this situation have been cleared.
After hovering near death, Zero will be cheered when he makes a miraculous recovery.
People don't care about reason. But they can't resist a good miracle.
Now, take the gun.
There can be only one messiah.
Once they see you're a false one, the people will...
I... I thought so!
Just tell me one thing! Are you...
No... He's reached that point?!
Hey! What's wrong?!
Maj. Kururugi!
Why, you! What have you done?!
Lelouch!
Stop it! Stop giving me your pity!
I won't take your charity! I have to try and achieve this on my own!
And for that, I'll stain your hands with blood, Euphemia li Britannia!
I've given up that name!
There'll probably be an announcement from the homeland soon,
but I've given up my claim to the throne!
Why? Not because you accepted Zero, is it?
A price had to be paid for doing something this selfish, right?
It's easy for you to give it up, isn't it? I suppose you did it for my sake.
You're as conceited as ever, I see. I did it for Nunnally!
She told me herself. "As long as I can be with my brother, I don't need anything else."
And that's why you?!
And that's what made up my mind.
It made me consider what was truly important to me.
So do you see, Lelouch? I'm not giving up anything that's truly important to me.
And don't worry! I won't tell anyone about you!
And Cornelia?
It's not like we'll never see each other again.
You're a fool. An amazing fool.
I may not have ever been able to beat you at games or studies, Lelouch, but...
But in your own rash way, you ended up winning it all.
When I think about it, more than being the sub-viceroy or a princess,
you were always just plain little Euphy.
Then will you do this with plain little Euphy?
You... You are the worst enemy I ever faced.
You win.
Let's figure out a better use for this special zone of yours.
Oh, but I won't act as your subordinate, all right?
Right! Still, you don't have much faith in me, do you?
Did you really think you could get me to shoot you just by threatening me?
Oh, no, that's not it.
If I really order someone to do something, no one can resist.
To shoot me, to dismiss Suzaku, any order at all.
Oh, you're just being silly now.
I'm serious! For example, if told you "Kill all the Japanese," it wouldn't matter how you felt about it...
No... Please, I don't... No!
I don't want to kill them!
No!
Did I?!
You're right. I have to kill the Japanese.
I've become like Mao! I can't control my Geass now!
Forget the order I just gave you! Euphy!
Euphy, wait!
Right, I've completed the talks with the Chinese Federation,
so I'll be returning to the homeland today.
Then we should keep the experimental adapted organism here?
Right. How's his intelligence look?
There's only so much we can do here in Area 11.
I see. We should ask the Rosenberg Institute about that.
Can you send him and the test unit over there after I make arrangements there?
Understood, Your Highness. That just leaves the Kamine Island ruins...
It'll have to wait till the security situation in Area 11 has stabilized.
We have the specially administrated zone to thank for that.
Thanks to Euphemia, it looks like everything's going to work out perfectly.
Sub-viceroy, where's Zero?!
All of you who call yourselves Japanese...
I have a favor to ask! Could you all die, please?
What did she just say?
No way...
It's a joke, right?
Suzaku!
He's just unconscious. But why?!
Umm...
I was hoping you'd commit suicide, but you can't, can you?
Well then, soldiers, please kill them all. Wipe them out!
She's serious?!
Cut the mics and cameras!
Euphy, no!
Halt!
Out of my way!
Damn terrorist!
Stand aside!
Go on, soldiers! Hurry!
Princess Euphemia! What's come over you?!
Stop this, please! This is...
General!
Forgive me, but I have to kill all the Japanese.
Now then, all Britannians!
Kill the Elevens! All troops, exterminate the Elevens!
Don't let one escape! Kill them all!
Stop it! What are you doing?!
This is Suzaku Kururugi, Knight of Honor of the Britannian Forces!
Cease fire at once!
We were ordered to kill all the Japanese here. Princess Euphemia ordered it personally.
What? Princess Euphemia did? Don't be ridiculous!
You're Japanese too, aren't you?
What's happening?!
What happened in there?!
Gun fire?
It can't be. What does the TV say?
They cut the feed!
EUPHY, STOP!!!
This... My Geass did this?!
Z- Zero...
Help us... Japan's... savior...
Stop it...
I'm not your savior. I'm not your messiah!
You're... You're our only... hope...
Stop...
Don't... Don't force me...
I have to atone for this sin? Bear this cross, too?!
Zero... What did you do to Princess Euphemia?!
Andreas Darlton...
The closest of Cornelia's close advisors.
What?! What's happening in the stadium?!
We're figuring that out!
We're getting a feed from the stadium now.
Why can't you cut this off?!
Someone's hacking this in from somewhere!
Stop it! It's going live to the entire world!
They'll cut the broadcast soon. Let's upload the data to the Net.
You heard him!
Right.
Sir! C.C. has made contact with the supreme commander!
Good! That's the last problem, cleared.
I don't know how you arranged this situation,
but this scheme is beyond what we planned,! ero.
I'm shocked. I didn't think you'd go this far.
It wasn't me.
What?
I didn't use my Geass.
Or rather, I didn't mean to use it!
I see. Then, what I felt before was...
Even knowing the risks, I made my contract with you.
You told me how dangerous this power was. And yet!
He did it! He really did it!
Wh- What is this?!
Princess Cornelia, wait!
Don't follow me unless you're coming along!
Euphy!
Have you found her?! Where is she?!
I don't know! We can't contact Gen. Darlton, either!
Something's wrong. This isn't like Euphemia at all.
I wish there was room to negotiate with this, but we can't be connected with Kirihara now!
Hm, yes. For now, we need to save ourselves.
Indeed. Is the "souvenir" ready?
How pathetic...
In the end, we value ourselves above others.
You shouldn't say that, Lady Sumeragi.
We need to stay alive for Japan's sake, as well.
And what's the point if we're the only ones left?!
Watch your tongue, Kaguya! You only have your family's name backing you!
If we don't act now, what's the point of Kyoto's existence?!
I can't believe Euphy would order all those people to be exterminated!
I have to find her, somehow!
Hey! The Britannian forces have left the stadium!
Right.
In this case, our only option is to exploit Euphemia to the utmost.
It's the least we can do!
Attention, Zero! Return that unit! That machine is the property of our military...
This is an order to all Black Knights!
Euphemia has become our enemy!
The specially administrated zone of Nippon is a cowardly trap to lure us in!
Armored autonomous battle knight units, break into the ceremony grounds!
Wipe out all Britannian forces!
Save the Japanese!
Hurry!
I have to! I have to find Euphy!
Find her and kill her!
