The young Britannian Lelouch once swore a vow.
That he would avenge his mother, who was killed 8 years ago.
And that he would make a world in which his younger sister Nunnally could be happy.
For that purpose, he gained power from the mysterious girl C.C.
Geass. The absolute power to command anyone to obey him.
Lelouch used his Geass power to embark on a path...
to destroy the Holy Britannian Empire led by his father.
But at the end of that path, what will he have gained? And what will he have lost?
There is only one clear destiny.
Those who gain Geass, the so-called power of the king, walk a path of solitude.
At the end of the world Sekai no owari de
The light that's born Umareta hikari
Now blows in the wind Ima kaze no naka
Pretty words alone won't sustain you Kireigoto dake jaa ikirenai
Kindness alone won't heal you Yasashisa dake jaa iyasenai
What is it that was stolen from you Ubawareta nowa nanda
In this unchanging world Kawaranai sekai de
What is it that you hear Kikoetekita nowa nanda
A song of color Shikisai no uta
Everything is bright
Let our crumbled dreams resound Kudakechitta yume wo
At the edge of tomorrow Asu no hate ni hibikaseru you ni
At the end of the world Sekai no owari de
The light that's born Umareta hikari
Becomes one with us Bokura hitotsu ni
Now blows in the wind Ima kaze no naka
THE Cs' WORLD
It's been a long time, Lelouch. My son.
Answer the question I asked you 8 years ago! Why didn't you protect mother?!
Even knowing how the other members of royalty ostracized her!
People are not equal.
What?!
You have Geass, a power which no one else possesses.
Use that power to get the answer from me!
He's baiting me. Inviting me to use my Geass on him.
But if I look into his eyes, he'll be able to look into mine!
His Geass is the same type as mine, requiring eye contact.
The moment I look, his Geass, the power to control memory, will be cast on me!
What do I do?!
What's wrong? Are you not my son? Not a prince of Britannia?
This is no time to choose tepid commands!
That's right! It was Zero's orders!
Search through all of the facilities! Obey Zero's orders!
Gather all of the dead in the designated area.
We're going to verify if any of the Britannian experimental soldiers are among them.
This is... a massacre!
Bartley... I hated you for reconstructing me with this body.
But your loyalty to the imperial family was genuine.
Then I will make up my mind!
I will honor you!
Lelouch vi Britannia commands you!
DIE!!!
Very well, then.
I won?
I won.
Nunnally... Mother...
I... I...
I don't know anything about Lelouch! How many times do I have to say that?!
Would you swear that on Shirley's remains?
Now, you're going to tell me everything. With this Refrain!
Don't. Please, don't! STOP IT!!!
You don't have to be afraid.
You'll lose your will soon and then you'll answer my questions.
Big brother...
Now, you will obey my commands...
I... I... I WILL NOT BE LIKE HIM!
How many years has it been since we were together face to face, V. V?
In the end, I couldn't run away from my destiny, could I?
I will shoulder... this destiny...
The destiny of immortality...
What's? V.V., are you?
So please, Charles...
So, do you swear it?
Yes. In this world full of lies...
We alone will never lie to each other.
Because... I am... your big brother...
I killed him. It was so easy.
There were things I wanted to ask him. People I wanted to make him apologize to! Now!
Oh? To whom?
You're an impudent child, LELOUCH!
You're alive?! Impossible! You shot your own heart!
Schemes, plots, surprise attacks...
You really thought you could defeat me with those cheap tricks?
Come at me as a true king would! If you wish to inherit the power of the king!
DIE!!!
You call that the path of royalty?!
My Geass isn't working!
Don't you understand, Lelouch?!
I am beyond the power of guns or swords!
No matter what you use against me will be USELESS!
Charles, why steal V.V.'s Code now?
Why would you kill the older brother you loved so much?
V. V... You loved Marianne too, didn't you?
He's become immortal, too?!
I can't win. There's no way I can win!
I've gained a new power in the place of Geass.
And so, Lelouch, I shall now show you. The true nature of this world!
What is this?!
Chigusa.
That was the name you called me when I had lost my memory.
My real name is...
Villetta.
But to me, you'll always be...
I am a baron of Britannia.
No matter what the reason, if I don't erase the disgrace of my having loved an Eleven,
I won't be able to live in this world.
I suppose not.
If it has to be this way, I wished I could have died in Japan.
You came here knowing I was going to kill you?
Because if I have to die, I want to at least choose when it'll happen.
You could also kill me if you wanted to.
Why did a terrorist even save a Britannian soldier in the first place?!
At first, I thought I could get information about Zero from you.
I tricked you, kept you under surveillance...
But, while we lived together...
I'm the enemy!
But I still love you!
Are you insane?!
Yes, you're the enemy. Yes, it may be crazy...
But I've fallen in love with you!
I wish I'd never met you!
You! From the intelligence division!
What is Geass?! What are you up to?!
How strange.
A child who's covered with lies desires the truth from others.
What?
What has the lie called Zero which you wear as a mask gotten you?
It's gotten me plenty! An army which an ordinary student could never have!
Followers! Territory!
You lost Euphemia.
You can no longer see Suzaku or Nunnally!
Be quiet! People lie to everyone in order to live! I only did what others do!
Why do you lie when you want others to understand your true self?
But even as you desire it, you don't expose yourself.
You wear a mask.
Are you afraid of others knowing what you really are?
You're wrong!
There's no need to tell lies.
The reason being that you are me and I am you.
It's true. In this entire world, there is really only a single person.
In the past and the future, in all of human history, only one.
One? What are you talking about?
Charles.
Play time is over.
There's nothing in it for me now.
C. C?
You don't have to cajole him like this to call me here.
I already exist here.
True enough, C.C. I shall grant your wish, then.
You know what C.C.'s wish is?!
Lelouch... It's time you knew the conditions of our contract.
And what my wish is.
I wish to die.
To end my existence forever.
End it? But, you're!
In the final stage of Geass, the user attains the position of the one who granted them the power.
In other words, you gain the power to kill me.
To... kill you?
Not one of the many people I made contracts with ever reached that point.
But now we have Charles here, who has done it.
This can't be! You made your contract with me so that you could die?!
Correct.
You were living just so that you could die?
That is where the providence of this world lies.
Life is defined by its limits.
That's wrong! We call it life because we're alive!
It's the same thing. We can acknowledge life because death exists.
That's just wordplay!
Even so, people do die.
Then what's the reason people are born into this world?! The meaning!
You know perfectly well! Those things are just illusions.
Living just to die is too sad to even consider!
Endless accumulation of it without death can't be called a life.
That's just experiences.
If you have a reason for living, then kill me.
Do that, and you'll be Charles's equal. You will gain the power to fight.
Farewell, Lelouch.
You're just too kindhearted.
Wait! You're...
Charles, why did you steal V.V.'s Code?
Is there any point to asking questions now?
After all, you're about to die.
I suppose not.
Well then, I'll have the redevelopment of the Saitama ghetto proceed according to our schedule.
Wait, please.
Give me your hand.
Is something wrong?
This plan won't disadvantage any of the Elevens, will it?
Of course not. This is the best choice for both sides.
That's... A lie, isn't it?
Please rework the plan once more.
I don't wish the Elevens to be disadvantaged in any way.
Princess Nunnally, please let experts like me handle the practical matters of state.
Miss Lohmeyer! I... I believe that I am the viceroy here!
After all this, my only choice is to confront Lelouch about this directly!
Suzaku, are you all done with your work at the government bureau?
Have you seen Lelouch?
Well, it looks like what happened to Shirley really shook him up.
He hasn't been home since, or at school.
Where is Lelouch Lamperouge right now?!
There's nothing out of the ordinary.
I'm asking where he is! Where's Commander Villetta?! Or his little brother Rolo?!
As I said, there's nothing unusual worth reporting.
Same as always.
I see... The entire O.S.I. Staff has been!
Holy Britannian Empire DALLAS RESEARCH CENTER
Forgive me. I had to talk to Nunnally.
It's all right. We're not ready to start yet.
What happened?
You know the subject. Lloyd's Camelot group and Suzaku's...
No, Highness, I meant with the Tromo Agency.
That... depends on the results of today's test.
Yes. My big brother Schneizel contacted me from the homeland.
It looks like we'll be able to raise Area 11's status to satellite area.
He said it's in recognition of the stabilized public order and higher productivity.
That's good news.
Lelouch must have been Zero all this time.
But if I report that to the emperor, what will happen to Nunnally?
If Lelouch regains his memories, then I shall use Nunnally.
Suzaku, you aren't hiding anything from me, are you?
Of course not. You're the one person I'd never lie to, Nunnally.
Then will you tell me who it was I spoke on the phone with that time?
Wasn't it my big brother?
Suzaku, you're just like him, aren't you? Like big brother...
He's gone? Zero's gone?
Yes. I tried to call him to say we'd sighted the target, but he and the Shinkiro are both gone.
He's gone? Big brother is?!
Where am I?
Wha? Hey!
It's no use.
These are my memories. You can't interfere.
C. C... No. You're not, are you?
Who are you?
Lelouch. I'm your...
Do you have a reason to live?
I... I don't know. But I don't want to die!
Then let's make a contract with each other.
I will give you the power to let you survive.
In return, will you agree to grant me my one wish someday?
Is this?
Yes. I made a contract with her.
Stop it! Stop it, both of you! Please!
I'm sorry about this. I thought we might one day be friends.
Stop it!
OHGI!
The Geass manifested to me was to make people love me.
Love?
Because, deep in my heart, I...
I wanted to be loved by someone.
And my wish was granted.
Thanks to my Geass, I was loved by everyone.
But I was loved too much, and in the process, forgot what true love really was.
The only person I believed in was her.
Because my Geass couldn't work on her, she would scold me for playing all the time.
But even so...
Right, right. I gave back all the gifts I took, like you told me to.
But it can't be helped, can it? It's the Geass's fault.
I'm grateful to you Sister, but to be honest, this is a pain for me, too.
I'm so tired of all the presents and proposals.
Now some people want to start a religion around me!
Then shall we end this?
I have to have somebody take my place so that eternity can finally end for me.
Someone who possesses a Geass beyond a certain level.
Have you any idea how difficult it's been?
The hell of living on and on?
Um, what are you talking about?
I'm sorry, dear! I'm afraid I tricked you!
My existence for her was merely as a tool to let her end her own life.
That's all it was.
You're still not in here.
You're not from my past. You're a real person, aren't you?
Am I? I couldn't really say.
I wonder if you're very important to me.
That's impossible.
Oh? The fact you were sent here...
means I was trying to save you from something.
The people who hated me, the ones who were kind to me...
All of them eventually vanished in the flow of time.
In the endless flow of time...
But now, those days of torment...
Yes. Now it ends. My long journey...
C. C!
You've opened it, Lelouch! The Thought Elevator!
Now I understand! This area of space itself is a system for disrupting thought!
Soon it will be over.
Lelouch, sit where you are and watch!
Stop it! She's my... My!
Answer me, C. C!
Why didn't you try to die by making me take your place?
You could have forced me to accept the hell of eternal life!
Did you pity me, C. C?!
Don't die looking like that! When death comes, die smiling!
I promise, I'll make you smile! So, please!
What do you think you're doing, C. C?!
You think I'll let you steal any more from me?!
Does your foolishness know no bounds?!
I know now, C. C! What your Geass was! What your true wish is!
Come on! Turn towards me!
Activation of F.L.E.I.J.A., confirmed.
It worked. I can't believe the explosive force generated!
Congratulations, Chief!
Oh, no. This is the result of the entire staff at Invogue.
You should be proud, Nina. You are a genius.
I'm honored, Prince Schneizel.
Now mankind... War itself will change!
Now can come Damocles!
Hey! We've come back, C. C! Wake up!
I've contacted Rolo. We'll use him to get out of here soon.
Um, who are you, sir?
What are you talking about? Anyway, about the emperor and that system...
Are you my new master?
I can help prepare food for cooking and can clean.
I can fetch water and tend cows and sheep. And sew.
I can read a little and I can count to twenty.
And... I can also tend corpses, if you wish...

Kallen has been captured, Shirley has died, and now I've lost C.C. As well!
Even so, this is no time for me to drown in sentimentality!
I have a plan to rescue Nunnally.
The problem is timing when to strike.
Even if we move to rescue her now,
there are too many uncertain elements waiting in the aftermath.
To make certain it works, I'll need a United Federation of Nations.
And for that, keeping the emperor in that parallel space will be an absolute condition to clear.
But!
