You don't want it to end here, do you?
What's...?
You appear to have a reason for living.
I'm going to obliterate Britannia!
If you had power, you could live?
I'll make a deal with you.
But the power of the king will isolute you. If you are prepared for it.
Very well! I accept your contract!
Die!
I thought it was impossible.
How can a lone student change the world?
It isn't realistic.
Just think about it a moment and see that.
Still...
Now that I've been given the opportunity...
There may be a move..
I have to play.
Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you!
I am...Zero!
Who are you waiting for to beat Britannia?
Is someone going to do it for you?
You think if you wait long enough, some day the chance will come?
Don't be naive!
If we don't do it, that "some day" will never come!
People! We are the Black Knights!
Where those with power attack those without, we shall appear again!
Here and now, I declare our independence from Britannia!
Those of you with power, fear me!
Those who have none,
seek me!
I'll form an army which can't lose to Britannia!
A people! A nation!
For we, the Black Knights, shall judge this world!
- If Zero's the man I think he is, he's got a plan! - Everything's going according to plan!
All we can do now is trust him!
Would you care for a game of chess?
R4, fire.
N1, take the guy on the left.
B-7, use U.N. Ordnance.
N-group, keep moving forward..
Are you listining, Cornelia?
This is already a checkmate.
The whole world's looking for you.
Because of you, the world is moving.
Lelouch, is this what you wanted to see?
No. This uproar is simply a means to an end.
The world is destined for even greater chaos.
We all thought that war with Britannias was impossible.
But maybe, with him, it's possible.
The Black Knights...
Zero's methods are cowardly!
He doesn't face the challenge himself!
Yes, Your Highness.
All he does is use people, stir up trouble,
then act like a judge and declares himself the winner!
That isn't going to change anything!
I can change it into a worthy nation! From within Britannia!
Anything gained doing things the wrong way..
is just meaningless!
I've been lying all along.
Not just my name and personal history.
I've hidden every aspect of my true intentions.
But that's common sense, isn't it?
Everyone uses lies.
To family, to friends, to society.
Everyone has a different face.
But is that a sin?
What is one's true face?
If you are not Japanese then why do you fight? What is it you want?!
The destruction of Britannia.
Zero may not just be attacking the Britannian order.
It's possible he may be motivated by hatred for the Britannian royal family as well.
And you think such a thing is possible? By you?!
I can, because I have a reason why I must accomplish that!
The face of the kindly big brother and the mask of Zero...
Which is real Lelouch?
I am going to create a world in which Nunnally can live happily! And for that, I will destroy Britannia as well!
Will you win everything or lose everything?
I'm going to win!
That is the essential nature of war.
Black Knights! All forces, prepare for battle!
Zero! Your methods won't change anything!
- Are you so set on pursuing your goals you don't see you're hurting other people?! - Zero!
He's eliminating any faction which could oppose him.
Why?! Why do you always get to my way?!
Why do you spill people's blood meaninglessly?!
SUZAKU!
If it wasn't for you!
LELOUCH!
Because of you!
Do you just want power?
Or is it status you seek?
Or... Is this just another game tou you?!
You're starting with the king?
If the king doesn't lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?
People aren't just chess pawns.
I doubt even Zero thinks like that.
Master Zero! Have you really abandoned us?
Otherwise, he'll end up using even us as pawns.
I'll use you up and then throw you away like a ragged dust cloth!
You used us Japanese..
You used me?!
Japan will be freed as a result.
I wanted to believe in him! I wanted to!
Everyone trusted you!
But to him, we're nothing but...
Nothing but pawns?!
That's right. This was all just a board for me to play on.
Why don't you dance for me?!
Squats! Howl! Clap!
Just a game to me.
You can't change the world...
without getting your hands dirty.
You go to walk the path of blood?
If that is my destiny.
Lelouch Vi Britannia orders you to answer him!
A child who's covered with lies desires the truth from others.
What has the lie called Zero which you wear as a mask gotten you?
Did you think this was all some sort of game?
You've killed many people up till now.
With your own hands. Or with your words.
Shut up! I am prepared!
I have been from the moment I killed Clovis!
Then why do you hesitate now?
At this point, you have no right to be shaken or stop.
I don't want to kill them!
Did I?!
Kill the Elevens! All troops, exterminate the Elevens!
This.. My Geass did this?!
Z-Zero...
Help us... Japan's... savior...
- Stop it... - Don't die!
- I'm not your savior. - Don't die!
I'm not your messiah.
No matter how hard you may try,
there's no way...
you can ever change the world.
What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by justice?
Do you stain your hands with evil so as to destroy evil?
Or do you uphold your justice even if you must surrender to evil?
What is the qualification for controlling the world?
Dignity.
- The dignity for people to govern one another. - Good answer.
My answer is different.
May I ask what that is?
The whillingness to destroy.
Destroy?
The world...
and even yourself!
Presenting, His Imperial Majesty!
I am Lelouch Vi Britannia, the 99th emperor of Britannia.
All hail Lelouch! All hail Lelouch! All hail Lelouch!
You're both intent on doing it, aren't you?
Yes. For the sake of the Zero Requiem.
Yes, Your Majesty!
- Then shall we let the game play out, brother?! - Indeed.
The Geass you gave me..
What you gave me..
only started me down the road.
Everything that followed was my doing.
We can't stop now, for the sake of all those who have died.
I am about to spill a sea of blood.
Enouth blood to wipe all memory of the massacre princess from people's mind.
We've both lost much. Far, far too much.
But to advance toward the future, we need to take over the world.
No matter how long it takes, people will continue to seek happiness.
I've seen it, over and over.
The people who struggle against sadness.
Those who seek the future.
How they all carry on, wishing for happiness.
Do you wish for anything?
I wish a world was a gentle place.
Help me build a new future within Britannia itself!
To that end, you need to do something.
You're a monster!
The means to that end require me to reject something.
From this day, from this moment forward, the world belongs to me!
Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you!
Obey me, World!
All hail Lelouch!
What is that?
The legend of Zero lives on in the Black Knight.
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.
Fool!
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.
I will destroy the present world and build a new one in its place.
I...
Zero! Zero! Zero!
destroy..
Zero! Zero! Zero!
the world...
Zero! Zero! Zero!
and create it...
Zero! Zero! Zero!
anew...
