The Holy Britannian Empire is a powerful nation that uses its military strength to expand its rule, and the small island nation of Japan is yet another victim. During a worldwide conflict in 2010 known as the Second Pacific War, the once-proud country was reduced to rubble and mockingly renamed to Area 11. However, one student plans to free Japan from Britannia's control through an extraordinary rebellion. His name is Lelouch Lamperouge, and he is fuelled with hatred for the Empire, plotting to wipe its accursed name off the face of the planet. Lelouch's plans are unexpectedly accelerated upon meeting the mysterious woman C.C. who grants him an ability known as Geass that makes anyone Lelouch commands unable to defy his will. Now armed with a devastating power, Lelouch assumes the persona of Zero, a revolutionary figure who carries the hopes and dreams of the oppressed around the world. He vows to restore the glorious nation of Japan and deliver divine retribution to Britannia.

Having achieved miraculous victories in a series of battles against the Britannian Army, Lelouch Lamperouge has brought the Black Knights, his paramilitary organization, to a more powerful state than ever before. Nothing seems impossible for him when he utilizes his military strength, intellect, and Geass power of absolute obedience. However, obstacles in the face of the uprising never cease, putting Lelouch in a difficult predicament. Most worryingly, Suzaku Kururugi's combat prowess and the appearance of a mysterious child named V.V. threaten to put an end to Lelouch's great rebellion.

Lelouch Lamperouge's dreams of destroying the Holy Britannian Empire are slowly crumbling. His sister, Nunnally, has been kidnapped by Schneizel el Britannia, and Suzaku Kururugi is ignoring his desperate pleas for assistance. The Black Knights are slowly losing faith in Lelouch as their leader, and the United Federation of Nations has declared global war on Britannia. Having suffered numerous betrayals, a significant loss of power, and an ever-growing resentment towards Emperor Charles zi Britannia, the crippled Lelouch makes a final decision: if he can't destroy the Empire from the outside, he will take it for himself from within.

The story takes place several years after Lelouch's "Zero Requiem" plan.

The new side story is set in a.t.b.2017. A Knightmare unit made of boys and girls from Zone Eleven are thrown into a military operation with a 5% chance of survival. They must rescue an allied unit left behind on the European warfront.

2017 a.t.b. (Revolutionary Year 228), the war between Euro Britannia and the European Union (E.U.) continues. At a disadvantage, the E.U. army founded a special team consisting of Elevens - exiled Japanese who had their country occupied by Britannia - known as the W-0 Unit. And then, new orders are given to the W-0 Unit. Their cruel contents order them to land in the middle of the enemy as a diversion. The pilots of the W-0 Unit consist only of the commanding officer, Leila, the only surviving Japanese from their last battle, Akito, and the three rebels: Ryou, Yukiya, and Ayano. With everyone holding their respective expectations, the operation moves forward. On the other side in Euro Britannia, Shin, who made his benefactor commit suicide with the mysterious power of “Geass”, is appointed the leader of the Knights of St. Michael. As Shin steadily advances for the sake of his own ambition, he and his subordinates in the Ashura squad are given orders to deploy.

After their military credentials are revoked, the W-O division find themselves living with a group of gypsies. Here, they are inspired by the elderly gypsies way of life and how they can smile through hardships. Leila decides to take action against the terrorist movement known as 'Ark Fleet', and learns a secret about herself in the process. Meanwhile, Shin attempts to regain control of Euro Britannia, and is willing to do anything possible!

Akito, Leila, and the rest of the Wyvern & W-O unit must once again undertake a dangerous mission, a mission they have no choice but to accept. While Leila tries to calm down the riots in Paris caused by Julius Kingsley, Akito's brother, Shin, invades headquarters. Family ties are cast asides as a bloody battle of vengeance and world domination begins...

The Ark Fleet has been destroyed, and a significant number of the enemy's troops have been wiped out due to its crash landing. As the remaining forces of the Holy Order of Michael regroup in order to launch a final assault on Weiswolf Castle, the wZERO unit, along with their new ally Ashley Ashra, stand ready to intercept them. Meanwhile, with his Geass out of control, Shin moves to erase his younger brother's existence once and for all. But Akito, having promised Leila that he will come back alive, refuses to accept such a fate, and the two clash in their final battle.

Lelouch makes the ultimate use of his Geass power for his little sister Nunnally, who loves Alice in Wonderland.

Recap of the previous episodes.

This picture drama takes place during Lelouch and Nunnnally's childhood. It goes over how they first met Suzaku, after being expelled by The Emperor of Britannia.

Directly following the announcement of Clovis’ death, the girls of the student council head to the bath. Kallen wonders why they’re taking a bath and why she in particular is there since she just took a shower a little earlier. Milly claims that this is part of a social gathering: socializing with friends in the nude. After being teased by Milly about Lelouch, Shirley mentions how he was acting strange after seeing the news, and Milly noticed it in Nunnally too. Kallen feels that Lelouch treats Nunnally with a different attitude than he treats her, which Milly attributes to Lelouch’s love for his little sister. The girls then get to talking about their bodies, and Kallen mentions that Nina looks different without her glasses. Milly says that she’s been trying to get Nina to wear contacts for a long time, which implies that they’ve known each other for a while. Indeed, as Nina explains, they are childhood friends, and her grandfather worked in Milly’s grandfather’s company developing Kn

In the time prior to Suzaku’s planned execution, Jeremiah had been deputy consul and had been talking to Villetta about making her into a baroness so that her descendants can be true nobles, unlike the title of knight which only lasts one generation. For now, he has entrusted the parade route for Suzaku’s execution to her, and she’s made all the necessary preparations. Jeremiah doesn’t want to be humiliated any more because he’s now allowed two members of the royal family to be killed in front of him. Villetta doesn’t know what the first time he’s referring to is, so Jeremiah explains that he used to be a guard in the Aries palace as his first military duty eight years ago. The Aries palace was where Empress Marianne was, and on that one night, orders came from above to reduce the number of guards to a minimum. Because of that, the guards weren’t able to defend against the enemy intrusion, and this incident became Jeremiah’s first setback. He then took up a new post in Area 11 where Ma

As he works on his bike, Rivalz finds out that Suzaku got to know Lelouch a long time ago when Lelouch visited for a summer. Rivalz remarks that this is his first time with someone who knew Lelouch in his childhood since Lelouch doesn’t personally talk about it. Suzaku then recognizes Rivalz’s bike and recalls that he met someone with one when he was working in maintenance and washing cars before he joined the military. Rivalz figures out that it was a female and guesses that it was Suzaku’s sister or mother, but Suzaku explains that he doesn’t have a family and that this person he was indebted to has also… When Rivalz realizes that he hit on a bad subject, Suzaku tells him not to worry. Rivalz then asks about Suzaku’s home, so Suzaku reveals that he has none and is renting a room nearby courtesy of the military unit he works with. Hearing this, Rivalz suggests the school dormitory and offers his own room because he doesn’t have a roommate. Suzaku, however, cites his work and says that

For the opening ceremony of Clovisland’s pool, Euphemia wants her older sister to put on a black bikini, but Cornelia worries that it exposes too much. Euphemia knows that this is the most acceptable out of the swimsuits that Clovis designed, and she hurries her sister to put it on. Guarding the outside of their dressing room are Darlton and Guilford, and Darlton comments on how his sons won’t be happy to hear about Cornelia’s swimsuit. Guilford realizes that Darlton is talking about the Glaston Knights who he had raised from orphans into knights, but he feels that Darlton is speaking a little imprudently. Darlton responds by calling Guilford stiff, which reminds Guilford to point out that Darlton hiding a gun in his swimsuit is unreasonable. With both men now staring in the direction of Darlton’s swimwear, Darlton decides that it does stand out and gives up on the idea. Suzaku and Cecile are meanwhile already outside, supposedly here on guard duty, though Cecile is simply relaxing

The Ashford Academy student council is having a male and female reversal festival where all the girls have dressed up as guys and all the guys have dressed up as girls. Nunnally is having a lot of fun like this, but Kallen isn’t so sure that the guys are managing so well, and Milly goes to check on them. Although Suzaku, Rivalz, and Lelouch have all finished getting dressed, Lelouch doesn’t want the girls to see him yet because he needs to prepare his heart. Suzaku meanwhile isn’t embarrassed and after telling Lelouch that he’s really beautiful, Suzaku starts lifting his skirt up and down to give himself some air. Lelouch tells him to stop doing that because it’s vulgar, but Suzaku feels that it’s okay because he’s a guy. Milly and the other girls then barge into the room and are astonished by how good Lelouch looks in his dress. When Nunnally gets disappointed that she’s the only one unable to see a beautiful Lelouch, an awkward mood sets over everyone and Milly has to snap them out o

Lelouch and Nunnally are enjoying a delicious dinner that Lelouch cooked when Nunnally reminds Lelouch of their past with Suzaku. After Lelouch recalls how that was the only fun time when everything else was sad, Nunnally notes that he hasn’t come over recently. Lelouch tells her that Suzaku has been busy with his military work, but it turns out that Nunnally was actually talking about C.C. Surprised, Lelouch tells his sister that C.C. isn’t his girlfriend, but he panics when trying to think of what to call her instead. He can’t say that she’s an accomplice, but he can’t call her a friend either because a girl who visits alone that late at night can’t be just a friend. Lelouch then thinks about calling her his teacher, but he can’t do that when C.C. had told Nunnally earlier that they were connected by a promise of the future. He finally considers calling her a boy who hasn’t matured to a deep voice yet since Nunnally hasn’t actually seen C.C.’s appearance. Luckily for Lelouch, Sayoko

Listening to the radio broadcast of the ceremony commemorating the establishment of Japan’s Special Administrative Zone, Nunnally hears the announcer say that Euphemia has been meeting with Zero for 30 minutes now. As the announcer talks about opening a new page in history, Nunnally remembers a scene from her past when she and her brother had been sleeping over at Euphemia’s house. At the time, Lelouch had been chasing her around to get her to go to bed because he knew that otherwise she wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning. Nunnally, however, claimed that she wasn’t sleepy and that she wanted to play more since they finally got to stay over at Euphemia’s place. Euphemia herself didn’t mind, but Lelouch had made a promise to his mother, and he finally caught his sister. Nunnally then noticed a plate in Euphemia’s room that Lelouch recognized to be in commemoration of Marianne’s knighting, and Euphemia revealed that she got it from Cornelia. Since Nunnally had wanted one too, Lelou

As he gets dressed to go off into battle on the Lancelot, Suzaku wonders why he fights and realizes that he has no choice but to. He thinks back to a time when he had learned that Lelouch and Nunnally were officially dead in order to deceive Britannia. The year was 2010, and the two had been going to live with the Ashfords. Lelouch thought that Suzaku was going with his teacher Toudou, but it turns out that Suzaku couldn’t contact him, and he was instead going to Britannia headquarters. Before they had parted ways, Nunnally had asked him not to forget that there are always people who would extend a helping hand - that’s something she learned from her mother. The two had hoped to see each other again, but Suzaku had felt that a nuisance like him wouldn’t get to meet them again. He had known that their peaceful time as children was over, and he suspected that Lelouch knew that too. On that summer day, they had left something important in themselves and tried to mark the end, but Suzak
