"The Britannian youth, Lelouch, obtained two powers." "One of them is Geass." "The ability to give an order to anyone." "A power that enforces absolute obedience." "The other is the Order of the Black Knights." "His personal army formed to destroy the Britannian Empire ruled by his father." "Lelouch has started to act by using the code name "Zero"." "In order to avenge his mother and turn the world into a place that his sister, Nunnally, can live happily in." "What kind of results will those actions bring?" "Right now, no one knows." "The Messenger From Kyoto The Messenger From Kyoto The Messenger From Kyoto" "Governor-General, the Japanese Liberation Front was practically wiped out during the operation you led." "One by one, the members who managed to escape have been captured." "Are you being sarcastic?" "Our army is still facing reorganization issues." "No, that wasn't my intention..." "For one thing, didn't the problem originate from the policies adopted after the territory was captured?" "Area 11's subway network, mines, and tunnels." "Why were they left untouched?" "In the ghetto, management of the population and the property owners remains a mystery!" "The breeding grounds for anti-government activities were all left untouched!" "Umm..." "The subway runs throughout the entire country." "To seal up the areas outside of the settlements, it's estimated to cost..." "Even though you knew that they were being used by the terrorists as bases and escape routes?" "!" "{Literally change into}" "I-It was the instruction of His Highness Prince Clovis..." "Uh... well... "The situation will become chaotic if we are too forceful." "This will give the Chinese Federation an opportunity to take advantage of."" "We've already given them that." "Zero is gradually gaining influence." "Undersecretary, there are people who are self-governing this area as the representatives of the Elevens under the management of the Ministry of Home Affairs, right?" "A group called the NAC." "We managed to discover signs of the NAC during the last battle. {literally caught the tail}" "However, the evidence was buried." "It's very suspicious, though." "If we act on this first..." "Yes." "Distinguished families and financial groups." "Shouldn't they be relics of the past?" "P-Please wait!" "Those are merely rumors." "There is no proof that those things happened." "If we suppress them, the Eleven economy will never advance." "It'll affect the tax collection of our motherland too." "Besides, it's a widespread principle in the empire for the Numbers to manage their own people." "So how is the investigation on the Order of the Black Knights going?" "Based on the shield machine that was left behind, it's clear that Zero was the one behind the incident at Narita." "However, we are unable to find anything other than the corpses of the members that were left behind." "Which means that we can neither move against Kyōto, nor chase after Zero." "You know what?" "Based on the results I see, you're all useless." "I didn't expect the Britannian Princess to be this capable." "The Liberation Front has been broken up." "Japan's light has been extinguished." "Excuses again!" "Even though it's said that they are fleeing, Tōdō is still well!" "But I heard that the Burai Kai was lost." "Our hopes are..." "If it's hope, we still have it." "The Order of the Black Knights?" "You gave them the Guren Type-02." "Ever since the Kururugi Suzaku rescue incident, you have been infatuated with Zero." "Due to the loss at the Battle of Trafalgar," "Elizabeth III was surrounded at Edinburgh by the revolutionists." "Dad, geez..." "With the help of the Britannian colony America, which is now called..." "With the help of the Britannian colony America, which is now called..." "What's wrong?" "You look frustrated." "Constipation?" "For two days?" "Huh?" "No!" "Do you feel lonely because Lelouch isn't here?" "It's more like..." "Kallen is absent again too." "We're pretty careless." "The world is still debating over what happened at Narita two days ago." "Suzaku is absent today because of that too." "I know!" "It's just that I think that Lelou and Kallen both being absent is a big deal!" "Shirley, that's great." "That's what I like about you." "Please stop making fun of me!" "Like I said before, why don't you just tell him?" ""I love you."" "T-That's impossible!" "Impossible!" "Because, what..." ""What if I get rejected?" "!" "It might ruin our friendship!"" "There's no need to laugh that hard..." "I think it's great that all of us are here together right now." "I think so too." "But I hope that you're a little prepared." "Nothing lasts forever." "S-Sorry." "There's no need to be so serious about it." "Ah!" "If it bothers you that much, why don't you just ask him?" "Hey, how are you faring on your end?" "L-Lelou?" "!" "I thought you were absent today?" "Nunnally has a little fever." "Sayoko had something to do this morning." "O-Oh..." "I-I see..." "Is Nunna all right now?" "Sort of." "President, where are those documents?" "Oh, right there." "Please distribute them to all the classes of each grade." "Okay, okay." "You're good at ordering people around as usual." "I'm blessed to have such a capable subordinate around." "Subordinate?" "Well, I guess I am." "President!" "Doing that was bad for my heart!" "Huh?" "Where's the tickets?" "Lelou!" "What is it?" "E-Erm..." "Was my letter mixed up with those documents?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "What's wrong?" "Lelou!" "Yes?" "Don't make any wild guesses." "That can't happen." "To me, he's just..." "I did it." "I really did it!" "What should I do?" "He'll come, won't he?" "He didn't say no..." "But..." "We're just going to a concert together." "That's all." "But it's a chance..." "Thanks, Dad." "Kyōto has praised us for making good use of the Guren Type-02." "I'm impressed by that." "But that white armor..." "Don't take that to heart." "It was a draw." "A draw!" "Why did Shirley suddenly..." "Father's job requires him to be away from me." "But he often gives me things like this to make me feel better." "How do I say this..." "Here." "Hmm?" "What is it?" "A love letter." "Huh?" "You...?" "He's too dense to understand a joke!" "Tamaki, you're laughing too much." "It's an invitation letter from Kyōto." "They want to meet us at all costs." "Is there a need to make such a fuss over this?" "Saying it's a fuss..." "Hey we're talking about Kyōto!" "They'll provide us with funds if we're accepted by them." "Our pathetic financial affairs can..." "Financial affairs?" "There shouldn't be a problem if you stick to the plan that I've devised." "Well..." "I-It's not my fault!" "We've become a big group." "The increase in members was above expectations." "Is pretending to be a big shot in front of the newcomers and taking them to fool around within expectations?" "Hey, you..." "I know where you've been going!" "Y-You do...?" "I'll leave the meeting preparations to Ōgi." "Hey, wait!" "I'm the one who's been handling the money this whole time." "Now you..." "Produce results if you want me to trust you." "You're one to talk!" "You claim to be our comrade, yet you refuse to show your face." "What are you going to do, Zero?" "Huh?" "Wait, that's a little..." "It doesn't matter what Zero's real identity is, okay?" "Zero has the ability to win against Cornelia." "He IS the leader of the Order of the Black Knights!" "Is there a need to know more?" "Nina, is that you?" "If you're not feeling well..." "No." "It's nothing." "It's really nothing." "Hey..." "What should we do?" "Well..." "We were originally part of Naoto's unit." "I don't mind if it's his sister, Kallen..." "A second-generation member like you gave the leadership position to him..." "Well, everyone agreed to it at Narita..." "But we were practically forced into it." "He even kept it a secret from us, the Executive Committee..." "I've found out the twelve possible people." "All that's left is how I make my move." "I guess it's essential to meet them." "Who is it?" "It's me." "Erm..." "I said something out of line back there." "I'm sorry." "Kallen, do you wish to know my identity?" "They know..." "No." "Pardon the intrusion." "Brother?" "It looks like your fever has gone down." "I guess I was sulking." "Sulking?" "For some reason..." "Brother, it feels like you've become a little distant lately." "I guess my body reacted to that on its own." "I swear that I won't change." "Nunnally, I'll always be beside you, no matter what happens." "Can I be selfish?" "Please hold my hand for a little longer." "If I go to sleep by myself, I think I'll have that dream again." "Are you serious?" "You're asking me for a favor?" "Yes." "I'm going by that hint you gave me." "No matter what the intentions of those people at Kyōto are, I want to make their power mine." "If that's your wish, and if it's essential to the goal you're living for, then I'll help you." "I need it." "C.C., I need you." "I understand." "By the way, you forgot something." "I didn't forget." "Since I don't know when I'll be back today, I intend to call and turn her down." "You need to abide by the contract." "It's me." "Oh, nice timing." "The thing is that..." "E-Erm, hey Lelou..." "I might be late for today's appointment." "But..." "It should be okay." "I'll definitely go." "It's my master's order that the other members of your Executive Committee must come as well." "They're keeping a lookout on the surrounding area to prevent something from happening." "I'll call for them soon." "But before that..." "Bring those heavily mutilated corpses to tent two." "If there are any items left behind, use it to identify the body immediately." "Send those who have been identified to tent one." "Note the discovery location and time on the certificate." "The second medical corps should be arriving soon." "Staff on the ground, please go to your designated positions..." "Did she really exist... and... turn up there?" "Staff on the ground, please go to your designated positions..." "Did she really exist... and... turn up there?" "Also..." "Forget it!" "She doesn't exist in any data!" "Have you done the corpse excavation duties?" "If it's possible, I wish to continue the rescue duties, please." "Then please continue until you're satisfied." "Consider it part of Her Highness Princess Cornelia's orders." "Lloyd." "Zero and the Order of the Black Knights..." "What are they planning to do?" "What do they hope to achieve with these sacrifices?" "They're the allies of justice, right?" "According to what they say." "Is this justice?" "Hey, hey." "Don't tell me you're going to blurt out an embarrassing theory on what justice is." "We're soldiers after all." "It's done." "I've changed the energy filler." "O-Okay!" "Cecile." "I've done an investigation on the machines of the Purist Faction." "It really is that." "Yes, the Radiation Wave." "I didn't expect her to help the enemy." "That Lakshata..." "The enemy pilot is an ace too." "Now that Suzaku is mentally unstable, if he was to fight against that opponent again..." "Are you saying that my Lancelot would lose?" "We've been traveling for a while." "We're still going?" "Calm down." "How disgraceful..." "W-What?" "We're moving upwards..." "Sorry for troubling you." "My master is waiting for you all." "This is... the Fuji Mine!" "Hey, no way!" "How could we have come to this place...?" "But there's no doubt about it..." "This mountain, this shape!" "Which means there's Sakuradite below...?" "Isn't it the cursed treasure that led to the war?" "Even though invaders were relentlessly shot on sight..." "Their strength actually extends to an area like this..." "Kyōto is quite amazing." "Isn't it repulsive?" "Mount Fuji, a sacred mountain renown in the past for her scenic beauty and clear water..." "Right now, it seems to be reflecting the pain our Japan is having, after she was conquered by the Empire and continuously suppressed." "It pains me so." "I apologize for not being able to show my face." "But Zero, the same goes for you." "I must see and know who you are." "You shall show us your identity." "Please wait!" "Zero brought us power and victory." "That's..." "Silence!" "Who is Ōgi?" "Right, that's me." "You shall remove Zero's mask." "Ōgi-san!" "Zero, I'm sorry." "But I want to believe in you too." "That's why..." "So please make us believe in you." "A w-woman?" "!" "How can that...?" "It can't be!" "This person isn't Zero!" "I've seen her." "She was together with Zero!" "To the woman there, are you the real one?" "Yes." "So, you're not Japanese?" "Correct, messenger from Kyōto." "Kirihara Taizō." "We can't let anyone who knows the identity of the master go!" "Especially since she's not Japanese!" "Please wait!" "I'm not part of this!" "How weak." "Not only weak, but the way you think and act is outdated." "That's why you can't win!" "Zero?" "W-When did you...?" "Stop!" "He'll shoot using the remote control!" "Listen up, no one is to do anything!" "Kirihara Taizō." "You became famous as the founder of Kirihara Industries through the extraction of Sakuradite." "You were the shadow supporter of Kururugi's political policies." "However, you switched your allegiance after Japan's defeat in the war and became a proactive supporter of the colonization." "Commonly called "Kirihara the Traitor"." "But your true identity is..." "The head figure of the six major families of Kyōto that support the resistance nationwide." "Pretending to be obedient is something that comes naturally to you, no?" "Bastard, what do you know about Master's feelings..." "Stop it." "It's as you said..." "I'm not..." "Japanese!" "Are you serious?" "No wonder he didn't show us his face." "Why are you fighting if you are not Japanese?" "What do you want?" "The destruction of Britannia." "Are you saying you're capable of doing that?" "I can." "Why?" "Because I have a reason that I must do it at all costs!" "I'm glad that I'm dealing with you." "Y-You..." "It's been a while, Lord Kirihara." "You're really..." "The one who was left behind eight years ago as a hostage." "Yes." "I thank you for your care then." "If the person you were dealing with wasn't me, did you intend to hold him hostage?" "Of course not." "I am only capable of voicing my wish." "Has the seed from eight years ago started to flower?" "Damn, I can't see anything..." "Ōgi!" "Y-Yes?" "This person is definitely an enemy of Britannia." "I accept why he couldn't reveal himself." "I guarantee it." "Follow Zero." "We will assist by providing information and identifying military strongpoints." "Thank you very much." "I'm grateful, Lord Kirihara." "Are you embarking on the path of carnage?" "If that's my destiny." "The second, fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth squadrons are to continue identification duties at the management center." "Is that how you spell Fenette?" "It's this one." "I'm sorry, because the situation is..." "I-It's okay." "Please confirm the corpse." "Looks like she's not around." "Anyway, things are going to move from now on." "The Order of the Black Knights is now truly an organization that moves according to my will." "Uh, sorry I'm late." "I thought you'd already left." "No, let's put that aside." "Now let's find a place to shelter from the rain." "Hey, Lelou..." "Zero is an ally of the weak, right?" "Y-Yes." "That's what he said." "Then..." "Why... did he kill my father?" "Father... was kind..." "He never hit me..." "He didn't do anything bad..." "But he was buried..." "Unable... to... breathe..." "Why..." "Why did Father..." "I... don't want this!" "No..." "Please..." "Lelou..." "Help me..." "Yeah, I know..." "It's because of my actions." "Yeah, I knew it..." "Then why?" "It's easy to disappear from the stage." "All I need to do is abandon the existence called "Zero"." "Once I silence Kirihara, I can go back to being Lelouch Lamperouge." "Shirley and the Gunpoint" "But... still..." "Shirley and the Gunpoint" "Shirley and the Gunpoint"
