Black Knights... BANZAI!!!
What happened to the Knightmare that saved Zero?
It got out using the route Xing-ke gave it.
Xing-ke?
The Chinese Federation guy I told you about.
I see. Then I'll make use of that route as well.
So, was that pilot the same one from Babel Tower?
Because of what happened to Urabe, I won't tell you his name.
Just think of him as someone who supports us.
Did you use your Geass on him?
It turned out I didn't need to.
Anyway C.C., about the Emperor and...
Hold it! Are you keeping that pilot a secret from me, too?!
So what? There are times I like to keep secrets, too.
Is that you speaking as Zero or as Lelouch?
It's not like everyone knows about our relationship, right?
Hey! Quit saying weird stuff like that!
What about Zero's true identity?
Kallen and I are the only ones in the organization who know the truth.
Keep that secret, too.
Lelouch, may I go on being captain of Zero's personal guard, as I have been?
Yes.
Understood. Aye, aye, sir!
I'm counting on you.
We'll talk about the Geass later. We have more pressing matters.
Right. Understood.
Oh, man! I've missed my old uniform!
Rock and ROLL!
I can't believe they had all this ready for us!
They say Capt. Kouzuki and Mr. Urabe prepared it for us.
Man...
I see. So, Urabe died well, you say?
Yes, sir.
You should just confess, already!
Wh- What do you mean, "confess?"
It's Zero!
Zero?
Zero!
Hold it! Hold it!
We appreciate your rescuing us,
but we wouldn't have been captured in the first place if you hadn't betrayed us!
Don't you owe us an explanation?
Zero, what happened?
Everything is for victory over Britannia.
Right. And?
That's all.
You have nothing else to say?! No excuses? No apologies?
Stop it!
Zero, were you trying to give us a better chance of winning?
I always have my eye on getting results.
I understand.
There are times when operational details must be kept secret!
Right now, we need his power!
I can't think of anyone more capable than he is!
I agree! Everyone, let's trust Zero!
But Zero treated you like a pawn.
Who else but he could have pulled this off?!
Even the Chinese Federation isn't strong enough to wage war on Britannia!
And the E.U. Continues to lose to Prince Schneizel, right?
We're the hope of all of the colony Areas!
Zero is the only one who can lead us to victory in our war of independence!
He's right! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero!
Zero! Zero! Zero!

KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND
From this day forward, I am returning to class here at Ashford Academy.
I'm Suzaku Kururugi. I look forward to working with you all.
Suzaku Kururugi?!
The guy who caught Zero?
The White Death is coming to school here?
That's the Knight of Seven!
But, he's an Eleven...
Who cares?! He reports directly to the emperor!
Okay, quiet down!
Sir Kururugi has been reassigned to Area 11 and he's coming back to school here.
You can take the desk next to Lelouch for now.
Yes, ma'am.
Suzaku... You...
KURURUGI SHRINE
You were my first real friend.
KURURUGI SHRINE But the war tore us apart.
The Second Pacific War, by which Britannia took control of Japan.
After its defeat, Japan became a colony Area of Britannia.
I, who was abandoned by my homeland...
I, who abandoned my homeland...
When we were reunited, we were enemies.
While I'm Japanese, I am also a Britannian soldier.
I am! Ero.
We both hid our true identities.
We fought each other.
However, those are memories of what truly happened.
The emperor rewrote three things in his memory.
About Nunnally...
Any memories concerning! Ero...
And that I was a Britannian prince.
And so, the two of us now...
It's been a while, Suzaku.
Feels like old times, Lelouch.
Suzaku, it's been ages!
You've really come up in the world, Suzaku!
Suzaku's back?!
Miss President! We're in the middle of class!
Oh, what's with you, Lelouch?
You screwed up, Suzaku.
You just heard the name Lelouch and came right to my side.
In other words, you acted as though you knew me.
Now, to make sure Rolo doesn't do anything stupid...
And so everyone except us went back home. Even the teachers!
Back to the homeland?
Yeah, which is why we're the only ones here who know you. Right, Rolo?
R- Right.
I see. I was wondering why I didn't recognize anyone here.
Hey, you saw Zero's face, right? What was he like?!
Was it really a girl?
How about those rumors it was actually Prince Clovis?
Was he a prince from some other country?
Um, well...
Come on, surely you can tell us that, at least.
Sorry, I can't. It's a military secr...
Arthur!
You brought him with you?!
Oh, you... You really love cats, don't you?
Did anything leap out at you in your contact with him?
No, not especially.
So, we can conclude the subject's memories haven't returned?
Wait, please. We need to investigate this further.
Are you saying you don't trust our surveillance?
There's also the matter of C.C., correct?
Keep on playing his little brother, as you have been.
Yes, My Lord.
It seems the student council is throwing you a welcome party.
Reconfirm your findings then.
Understood.
What should I do? Do I dare trust Lelouch?
Sir, could you please overlook all the irregularities having to do with myself and Rolo?
Very well. Let's do that.
Don't go off campus so much, you two.
Yes, sir.
The only member left now is Coach Villetta, right?
Yeah, but Suzaku Kururugi is here now. Shall I kill him?
Stop doing things like that. Oh, and another thing...
Yes?
Can you stop speaking so formally to me? We're brothers, right?
Don't worry. I'll hurry up with my plan for your sake, as well.
I'm going to do it. Japan will gain its independence.
Starting with this school.
Iwate.
Wakayama.
Tokushima.
There are reports from Yamaguchi, too.
Hmpf! Zero shows up again and now we get this!
It may also be an effect of Lord Guilford's absence.
If this keeps up, our Sakuradite supply will also be...
Emergency! Unknown M.R.F. Within the perimeter!
What?!
Impossible! This is the government bureau that controls all of Area 11!
How was I able to get in here so easily?
These guys are almost annoyingly sloppy!
Is this the best Area 11's defense line has to offer?!
Ah... Your response to me isn't that bad, though.
Oh?
I don't know who you are, but this ends right here!
Disqualified. That armament shows you care more about protecting the building.
Oh, well.
What?!
Is that machine?!
So, that's what we're dealing with...
The variable Knightmare Frame: Tristan.
Which makes you Lord Gino Weinberg, the Knight of Three, correct?
Yeah. I came to test you guys.
Now, try and stop me!
Very well! We can't let this insult to us go unanswered!
Right, right. Don't hold back on my account.
As you wish!
Thank you!
Why, you!
Stop this!
That's enough! The battle is decided!
Is that the decision of the Knight of Seven?
It is.
Oh! Suzaku!
Gino, I thought I asked you to bring Lancelot here for me.
Yeah, but Earl Lloyd is going to be coming with it next week.
Anyway, what's with that getup?
It's my uniform. I've just come here from school.
Oh, so this is it.
Gino, I know you're from a great noble family, but can't you act a little more normal?
Also, you're kinda heavy.
Is it over?
Mordred? Anya came along, too?
Is it over?
Suzaku made me end it!
How dull.
We've now assembled more than enough firepower here.
Lelouch, in three days at the welcome party, everything will be made clear.
Sorry for the wait!
We will now begin the welcome party for the Knight of Seven!
Guest of honor, please address the school.
Um... I don't suppose I can ask not to say this, huh?
Of course not! This is a presidential order!
Just accept it. She sets the rules in this school.
All right. Just give me a minute to prepare.
MEOW!
This way to the horseback riding course!
Big brother, is this really appropriate for the occasion?
That's because of Milly. The Prez loves events like this.
Besides, she wants to make up for last year.
Hmm...
What should I do? I should just...
Rolo.
I've told you, that's dangerous.
Here, hold your knife like this.
L- Like this?
Watch out for your hands.
Right...
Big Brother.
The truth is... my Geass does have an Achilles' heel.
Wow, would you look at that! Anya, check this out!
Recorded.
You really love that stuff, don't you?
So, now what? Doesn't look like there's anything we have to especially do here.
Shall we take a tour of where the commoners go to school?
Right, right. I'm in the storehouse under the school right now.
Where are the spare energy fillers?
Huh? Didn't these belong to Nina?
Understood.
Go through cell F in Kyushu and make contact with Diethard.
Right, have Rakshata come here and...
She wouldn't!
Come see us make the world's biggest pizza!
Can you give me the details about this?
Sure, here you go!
World's biggest pizza!
HEY!
What do you think... you're doing?!
I still have to retrieve something.
Why are you so obsessed with that doll?! Anyway, come with me!
My, you come on forcefully, kid!
Shut up, Witch!
Don't you understand your situation?!
The emperor is trying to capture me.
And he's using you as bait.
That's right. Suzaku's here, as well as another.
A woman I can't use my Geass on!
From pretty young girls...
to sexy grownup women!
Welcome to the Swim Club Cafe, where you get exactly what you want!
I'm glad the coach agreed to do this for us!
Shirley... So help me, you'll die a 100 times for this!
If I didn't have to play teacher for my mission, I'd!
I used to be a school teacher.
They've confirmed the Guren Mk-II is there.
Kallen must be in the consulate.
I see. It's hard to judge her. They call themselves "resistance" fighters, but still...
Nina's doing well.
She just presented a thesis at the Science Academy.
I wonder if she's planning to perfect the Ganymede.
Dunno. Unlike Lloyd, Nina's specialty is... Hm?
Has Earl Lloyd... mentioned me to you?
Nothing.
It was a shock to him, wasn't it?
My having to postpone the wedding to repeat a year at school.
No, the thing about him is...
he's got so many flaws as a person.
Huh?
Arthur! That was Euphy's!
Suzaku! You're supposed to wait here for the main event!
What's this?
They're using a Knightmare... to make a giant pizza?!
So? The same person who gave the emperor his Geass also told Suzaku?
That's right, although you shouldn't delve into it any further than that.
I'm already involved in this.
V.V.
V. V? And did he give Suzaku a Geass, too?
No, it appears not. Anyway, at your side is...
Lulu!
What's up, Shirley?
Oh, there you are.
Do you need something?
Coach Villetta seems to be avoiding me.
So, I was thinking you should... Huh? You're alone?
Yeah.
Weren't you just talking to someone?
Nope. It's just the two of us here.
Just the two of us?
Oh, no. I've started feeling that this is my chance.
Look, Lulu, would you consider going ou...
Sorry, I couldn't quite catch that.
Hey! What's the big idea, whoever you are?!
What are you doing?! If someone spots you, too!
I came to take Pizza Girl back!
Fine, she's in with the tomatoes.
Take the whole container and have Tohdoh or Ohgi command the... WHOA!
Who is that?! You're rude!
How undignified!
Quit standing there and say something!
If I say something, you'll find out who I am!
Hey! Hold it!
Shirley! Leave them alone!
Lelouch!
Have you seen Arthur?
He's got a valuable quill pen and...
Wait, is he inside this thing?
No! Cats and tomatoes don't go together!
You're supposed to start here, right?
It can't be... Gino?!
Yeah! This commoner school is really fun!
Hey! Wait!
Ooh!
Did I just see Arthur?
Oh, now we'll have to change the schedule.
Now then, looks like it's coming out onto the parade route!
It'll round the school building first and then bring them here.
It's a classic Knight, but it's handling fine.
Okay, the route's all set, so...
SHAKE TIME!
What a blunder! He's taking Pizza Girl right to the stage!
Let me at least see who you are!
I am not... cut out... for this stuff!
Charge!
Here he is! The Knight of Seven, Suzaku Kururugi!
He has appeared, along with our Andes-grown Ultimate Tomatoes!
Okay, come on over! You're the one we've been waiting for!
Um, except...
There's a different guy inside!
Whoa! Whoa!
General team! Look up at the roof top garden!
What is it, Vice-Prez?
System pattern rouge!
System pattern rouge. Release fire extinguishing gas. Initiating.
What's wrong?! Is it that much of a surprise?!
What the hell's going on here?!
Sorry. Are you okay?
Oh no, it was my fault.
Was that?
Recorded. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Well, sometimes you just get these little filler incidents in life. Fine, then!
Well? The person who saw you was from the Swim Club?
It may have been the coach.
Villetta?!
I didn't get her name, but the weird thing was...
I think I saw her with Ohgi at the last culture festival.
Villetta and Ohgi?
Minami said that Ohgi may have had a collaborator who reported directly to him.
Ohgi? He kept a secret from me?!
You really are very thick when it comes to these sort of things, aren't you? You see...
Rolo... You're turned traitor?
Villetta Nu. The woman who was awarded the rank of baron for ascertaining Zero's true identity.
But unknown to most, you are connected to the Black Knights.
I never betrayed...
Kaname Ohgi.
If word of your relationship with him became known,
you'd lose that title you worked so hard to earn.
Why not be reborn as someone new?
Shirley actually gave me this to give to you, so the timing here works out nicely.
Happy Birthday, Coach Villetta.
It seems I owe you another debt.
I just used my diplomatic immunity.
Besides, I'd like to repay my debt to you as quickly as I can.
Then may I ask another favor of you?
I don't like to be colluding with you.
I'd like to get in contact with the High Eunuchs.
The only threat remaining to subdue is Suzaku.
Lelouch?
The guest of honor should get to the main stage.
Hm? Oh, no.
Everyone looks like they're having a good time.
Besides, there's something I'd like to discuss with you.
What is it?
I'm planning to become the Knight of One.
Whoa! That's the greatest knight in the empire...
The Knight of One has the privilege of being given one Area of his choice.
I intend to have this Area. To take Japan for myself.
I've lost precious friends and a woman which no one can ever replace.
I'm going to become so powerful that I'll never lose anyone else.
That's why the Japanese don't need Zero anymore.
Hmm... Indirect rule, you say? You're trying to make it a protectorate?
You can ask this person for the answer.
The new viceroy who's coming to take charge of Area 11 next week.
You want an ordinary student to talk to the viceroy?
It's Kururugi.
Yes, he's right here in front of me. Yes.
I don't know what to say. Getting to speak with such an important person!
Hello? Big Brother?
Big Brother, is that you?! It's me! Nunnally! I'm coming to be the viceroy!
Um, can't you hear me? Big Brother? It's Nunnally.
Someday let's try to pick up and rebuild Mune no naka itsuka hirotta
The fragments of happiness in our hearts Shiawase no kakera atsumete miyou
That nearly forgotten melody Wasurekaketeita melody
Stay vivid, deep inside of me Iroasezu boku no man'naka ni
I thank you from the bottom of my heart Arigatou kokoro kara
Everything I have now, I owe to everyone Boku ni ima ga aru no wa minna no okagesa
I thank you from the bottom of my heart Arigatou kokoro kara
Next I'll send happiness to everyone Tsugi wa boku ga minna ni happy okuru yo
I won't forget anything Nanimokamo wasurenai yo
Because I'm still the same as I was that day Ano hi no boku mo boku dakara
You need me to keep on saying Daisuki da yo'tte itsumo
How much I love you Itte agenakya dame da ne
On those long nights, your tears about to overflow Namida ga kobore sou na nagai yoru wa
Just turn around Futto furikaette
Follow those footprints Ashiato wo tadorun'da
So that you'll never forget that day Ano hi wo wasurenai you ni
Right now, Nunnally is on the other end of this phone.
Does Nunnally know that I'm Zero?
No, I doubt that.
That's why Suzaku would try this trick on me.
If I talk to Nunnally, he'll know if I've regained my memories.
He's using Nunnally as a trap! NUNNALLY!
Suzaku! No matter how you may wear the face of a friend,
your true face is the fiend who sold me to the emperor!
Just the thought that you'll be at Nunnally's side!
SURPRISE ATTACK OVER THE PACIFIC Just the thought that you'll be at Nunnally's side!
SURPRISE ATTACK OVER THE PACIFIC
