"For the first time in 8 years, I've seen your face, big brother." "And it's the face of a murderer, isn't it?" "I probably have the same face, don't I?" "Then..." "It's been you firing the F.L.E.I.J.A. S up till now." "Yes." "I wanted to stop this." "To stop you." "Even if that meant killing you, big brother." "That's why I can't let you have F.L.E.I.J. A..." "Why I can't hand over the Damocles key to you." "Even..." "Even if you use your Geass on me!" "Use Geass on Nunnally?" "It's true." "Time after time, I've wanted to use it on her." "At the very least, I wanted to use it to cure her blindness." "The power of the king..." "I could never use Geass's power of absolute submission on Nunnally, the person I was doing all of this for." "But, now..." "No, I can't!" "If I resort to twisting even Nunnally's will, then I'm!" "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" "Kallen..." "You're determined to defy me?" "Suzaku..." "I misjudged you." "Our methods may have differed, but I thought you cared about Japan in your own way." "But now!" "There's something I..." "That Lelouch and I have to do." "I see..." "You really crave power that much?" "In that case..." "In that case, what?" "In that case, you can't be allowed to live." "I'll defeat you and stop Lelouch!" "I won't let you do that!" "Any second thoughts about not running away, Rivalz?" "Where exactly should I run?" "You have a point." "All I ever wanted was to spend every day having fun with you all." "Yeah, I know what you mean." "You, power without a master!" "You need something to depend on." "Such a weak man!" "Stop, please!" "You're too badly wounded!" "I have to take responsibility for starting this!" "That's what gives me the right to lead others!" "Big brother, you have no right to take control of the world." "Not you, who took the name Zero and bent peoples' will to your own!" "Are you saying it would have been better to continue living our lives in hiding?" "Did you want a future of constant fear of assassination?" "This was for your future, too." "When did I ever ask you to do this?" "!" "I would have been satisfied just to have been able to live with you!" "But the reality is that we're controlled by all sorts of things!" "They must be opposed!" "That's the reason I've fought with the resistance!" "You could have tried to work within the system!" "And what about the people who can't get into the system?" "!" "How are we supposed to tell people that it's wrong?" "!" "You!" "Don't you dare look down on others, you egotistical punk!" "What about those who have no choice but join the system?" "!" "What is justice?" "!" "When you follow an aggressor's methods, you legitimize them!" "But if you go into battle now, you'll die!" "You!" "And you call yourself a!" "I'm sorry." "This is the only way I know how to live." "Tohdoh!" "Why do people have to fight?" "!" "Because I have something I must protect!" "Perhaps war has been robbed of its dignity and morality." "Even so, I needed a place to belong." "For only that reason, we've fought." "Oh, Naoto..." "Was this all really for the best for us?" "Still, they say that war is the mother of invention." "I don't accept that." "You don't see the people who come before that, Earl of Pudding." "Nina, was it?" "What about you?" "I-I was just doing what I could..." "We just didn't want it to happen again." "But people are weak." "TEMPORARY MEDICAL STATION That's right!" "Even I have dreams, don't I?" "!" "But now they say I don't have any right to them?" "!" "Even though I can still fight!" "Even though I can!" "Why does everyone treat me like a fool?" "!" "Tamaki-san..." "I've seen it." "I've seen it over and over." "Human history is one of opposition." "Even so!" "People..." "The world..." "Despite it all, they won't be what we want them to be!" "And so now you're forcing them to be?" "!" "That's!" "That's despicable!" "Using Geass, which bends people's minds and tramples on their dignity!" "Then what about Damocles?" "Isn't it a system to force people to obey just as despicable?" "!" "Damocles will become the symbol of their hatred." "Their hatred will be focused here." "So that everyone will move towards the future." "I see." "Nunnally, you got the same idea." "In that case..." "Lelouch vi Britannia commands you!" "Give me the Damocles key!" "No!" "I mustn't give it to you!" "All the sins you've committed!" "Here you go, big brother." "Impudent!" "Recording, complete." "NOT QUITE!" "Detonate!" "Memorize this!" "Make a record of Jeremiah Gottwald!" "Commemorate the name of the man who defeated you!" "Commemorate?" "That has nothing to do with it." "I have no memories..." "No memories?" "Could it be?" "!" "C'mon, Tristan, move!" "Just let me fly!" "Even the radiant wave surger is out of ammo now." "My shield energy's exhausted now, too?" "Even so!" "I can't beat her!" "Even using the curse that Geass has given me!" "Kallen, your strength is unimaginable!" "My machine has better specs than yours, and yet..." "Suzaku, with your strength..." "WHY?" "!" "Let's end it, Kallen!" "If you just had justice on your side!" "No..." "It didn't get him?" "!" "No, Kallen..." "You got me." "I see..." "You won, Kallen..." "Nunnally..." "You now live following your own thoughts without help from others." "Which means I am now free to follow the path I must." "Thank you." "I love you, Nunnally." "You used your Geass on me, didn't you?" "!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Stop!" "You're a monster!" "Despicable!" "Cowardly!" "How can you?" "How can you be so cruel?" "!" "The traitorous knight Suzaku Kururugi has apparently been killed." "Aren't you going to beg for your life?" "For his sake, at least?" "Kaguya..." "You never knew Lelouch's true face until recently." "What of it?" "Even so, you understood a bit of his true nature." "You're a kind girl." "Attention, World!" "I am Lelouch vi Britannia, emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire!" "Impossible!" "If Lelouch used the F.L.E.I.J.A., then that means!" "No!" "No way!" "Schneizel has surrendered to me." "Because of this, I now control both Damocles and the F.L.E.I.J.A.s." "And even the Black Knights no longer have the strength to oppose me." "If anyone dare oppose me now, they shall know the power of F.L.E.I.J. A!" "Those who can challenge my military rule no longer exist!" "Yes!" "From this day, from this moment forward, the world belongs to me!" "Lelouch vi Britannia commands you!" "Obey me, World!" "All hail Lelouch!" "All hail Lelouch!" "All hail Lelouch!" "All hail Lelouch!" "2 MONTHS LATER..." "Imperial Crown Colony of Japan 2 MONTHS LATER..." "Imperial Crown Colony of Japan And now, the 99th and sole emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire," "And now, the 99th and sole emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, as well as CEO of the Black Knights and the current chairman of the U.F.N. Supreme Council," "His Majesty Lelouch vi Britannia has come into view." "And look at this, too." "Those who foolishly opposed Emperor Lelouch are being taken to the execution grounds." "While it was paid for with the sacrifices of the capital, Pendragon, the lives of many soldiers, as well as the life of Sir Suzaku Kururugi, the Knight of Zero, in the recent great war," "now that the E.U. Has ratified the United Federation of Nations charter," "Emperor Lelouch has finally achieved the grand task of unifying the world!" "Glory to His Majesty Lelouch!" "All hail Britannia!" "All hail Lelouch!" "Glory, my ass." "This is just a dictatorship." "Anyone who disobeys him is killed!" "Shh!" "If somebody hears you, they'll kill your entire family!" "I can't believe we have to broadcast this and call it justice!" "Lelouch, is that what you wanted to do?" "To control the world?" "To control everyone?" "!" "You all weren't very bright." "If you hadn't disobeyed Lelouch when you did..." "It was so we could move into the future." "Through repeated success and failure, we advance." "That goes for people as well as for science." "That's evolution." "You mean progress, don't you, Earl of Pudding?" "That name you call me..." "Are you still bitter about that?" "Maybe." "I'm not sure." "Dr. Lloyd and Ms. Rakshata..." "Did something happen between them before?" "It's hardly worth mentioning." "When I think about it now, it wasn't really anything." "It was just a starting point." "Ohgi!" "If you go out now, you'll be playing right into their hands!" "But!" "What is that?" "Zero?" "!" "Zero!" "Z-Zero?" "!" "It can't be!" "Lelouch is over there!" "Is that it?" "!" "Is that what Lelouch and the others were doing?" "!" "Cease fire!" "I'll take care of him!" "Onward, masked knight." "Fool!" "Suzaku..." "You have to kill me, like you promised." "You're going through with this?" "No matter what?" "As planned, the world's hatred is focused on me." "All that remains is to get rid of me and break the chain of hatred." "The legend of Zero lives on in the Black Knights." "Schneizel will serve Zero, too." "With this, the world will be able to gather not through force of arms, but around one table for discussion." "They can move forward into the future." "And that..." "Yes." "Is the Zero Requiem." "We both knew it back in Cs' World." "How people were longing for the future." "Say, Suzaku..." "Geass is like a wish, isn't it?" "It's a request to someone to give you the power to achieve what you can't on your own." "A wish, huh?" "Yes." "I'm going to cast the Geass called a wish on people." "For the future of the world." "Lelouch..." "The price of the Geass you're going to cast on them is!" "The only people who should kill are those prepared to die themselves!" "Suzaku..." "You're going to be a hero now." "As the messiah who saved the world... from Emperor Lelouch vi Britannia, the enemy of the world." "As Zero." "L..." "Lelouch!" "This, then, shall be your punishment." "You will live on, wearing that mask, as the knight of justice." "You will no longer live as Suzaku Kururugi." "You shall sacrifice your own ordinary pleasure to the world... forevermore..." "This Geass..." "I do accept." "Big brother?" "No..." "Everything you did until now was!" "Big brother, I love you!" "Yes..." "I..." "I destroy... the world... and create it... anew..." "Big brother!" "No!" "Please, open your eyes!" "Big brother!" "BIG BROTHER!" "The demon Lelouch is dead!" "Free the prisoners!" "Right!" "Uh-oh." "Retreat!" "Retreat, at once!" "Is it possible?" "Is that?" "It's Zero!" "That's..." "That's Zero there!" "It's not fair..." "All I needed to be happy was to be with you!" "How can I face the future without you?" "Zero!" "Zero!" "Zero!" "Zero!" "Well, Lelouch, the world's gotten a lot better since that day." "All the energy once directed towards war... has now been turned toward solving hunger and poverty." "All sorts of hatreds and evil deeds have been laid at your feet." "Maybe that's because the name of a person... is easier for people to blame than a system called Damocles." "We're so quick to simplify our past troubles." "But still, perhaps because of that, people are free of the past and able to move forward into the future now." "I wonder if you're laughing now about how it all went according to your calculations." "Of course, all sorts of problems remain." "But, even so..." "Geass, the power of the king, isolates people." "Maybe that's not quite correct." "Right, Lelouch?" "This corrupt world is filled with demons Dakuse wa oni" "What is justice?" "Seigi wa nanzo to" "Resist, don't just question Tou mae ni aragae yo" "The flower of evil Akutoku no hana" "Dreams of hypocrisy Gizen no yume" "Give your gaze to the eyes that see them Mishi me niwa me wo sashi" "The line between right and wrong cannot be known Sei mo ja mo wakatareru koto nashi" "Light is gone, and you slumber Hikari wa tae taiji no you ni" "Like an unborn child in the womb of darkness Kimi wa nemuru yami no shikyuu" "Isolation is what you love Kodoku koso itooshii" "It will probably be your only ally Yui-itsu no mikata to naru darou" "One by one, stained with the tide of blood Hitori hitori chishio ni mamire" "You were born into this era Kono jidai ni umare ochita" "Oh, chosen princes Erabareshi oujira yo" "Battle shall be your banquet Tatakai koso shukuen" "Oh, I am graceful omniscience Aa ware wa uruwashii zenchi" "The loving mother Ai no haha" "Who bore you Kimi wo umu" "The ones who were raised on my breast Kono chichi ni hagukumishi mono wa" "Are your brethren in hell Jigoku no harakara" "The mark of apocalypse Mokushi no in" "What is truth Shinri wa nanzo to" "A seed of secrecy buried where no one knows Shirimosezu uzumoreshi intoku no tane" "A double-edged sword Moroha no ken" "Turn its blade upon the unsheathed blade Nuku ha niwa ha wo muke" "Believe only in what you must protect Mamorubeki mono dake wo shinjite" "And in your own way Aru ga mama ni kimi wa" "You'll set yourself free Kimi wo hanate"
