The mighty Holy Britannian Empire employs military might to expand its rule, and unfortunately, Japan falls prey to its tactics. The country endured severe damage during the Second Pacific War in 2010 and was humiliated with the name Area 11. In the midst of the chaos, a student named Lelouch Lamperouge hatches a plan to liberate Japan from Britannia's oppressive grip. Fueled by hatred towards the empire, Lelouch is determined to obliterate Britannia from the planet. Lelouch's designs receive an unexpected boost when he encounters the enigmatic C.C., who bestows upon him a supernatural power called Geass. This unique ability enables Lelouch to command anyone to comply with his wishes. Now equipped with his formidable power, Lelouch dons the guise of Zero, a revolutionary icon who represents the aspirations and hopes of oppressed people worldwide. He pledges to revive Japan to its former glory and exact divine justice on Britannia.
