[Why was Japan chosen for the final battle? Because of table-corner girl Nina Einstein.]
[Why was the batatle delayed? Because Nina and others were developing a suppressor for Freyja.]
[Once Lelouch appeared, it meant the suppressor was ready.]
[To disarm Freyja, data analysis had to be completed within 19 seconds, and suppression achieved within 0.04 seconds of detonation.]
[This was a task impossible for anyone, but Lelouch's Knightmare was equipped with a data analysis system. Combined with his superior intellect, 19 seconds was enough.]
[Suzaku had also disarmed many bombs. For him, 0.04 seconds was sufficient!]
[When best friends unite, their strength can cut through metal!]
[Meanwhile, Lelouch and Suzaku stormed the airborne fortress.]
[Second Brother Schneizel watched Lelouch break in and remarked admiringly: "As expected of you, Lelouch. You've forced me to use my final trump card."]
[He decisively chose to abandon the airborne fortress and escape via spacecraft.]
[But he never expected Lelouch to be waiting for him.]
[Seeing Lelouch, Schneizel did not panic. Instead, he calmly sat down.]
[For him, as long as he fulfilled the people's expectations, his goal was achieved. Now, he only needed to detonate the airborne fortress and be prepared to die with it, ensuring world peace.]
[But Lelouch gave him no chance. He appeared behind him and used his Geass to force Schneizel to pledge loyalty to Zero.]
[Finally, Lelouch arrived before Nunnally.]
[Nunnally, relying on her own will, broke free of Charles's Geass and opened her eyes.]
[Lelouch was momentarily stunned upon seeing Nunnally's open eyes—this was something he had longed for for so long.]
Nunnally looked at her brother with determination:
[Damocles will become a symbol of hatred.]
[Let all hatred gather here, so that everyone can welcome a brighter tomorrow.]
Lelouch closed his eyes, realizing that Nunnally's resolve mirrored his own.
With this thought, Lelouch cast aside all hesitation and used his Geass on Nunnally.
[Lelouch vi Britannia commands you: Give me the key to Damocles!]
After a brief struggle, Nunnally smiled and placed the key before him.
Lelouch looked tenderly at Nunnally and whispered:
[Nunnally, you can now live by your own will. So, I too can walk my own path.]
[I love you, Nunnally.]
Lelouch knelt to take the key. As Nunnally began to regain consciousness, he resumed his stern and resolute expression.
When Nunnally came to and saw her empty hand, she refused to believe that her beloved brother had used Geass on her. She cried out:
[Brother is a demon! Despicable! Shameless!]
Lelouch's heart bled as he watched Nunnally collapse on the steps, but he did not stop. He walked onward without looking back.
....
Code Geass World.
"Brother, I'm sorry!"
Nunnally wept uncontrollably, apologizing repeatedly to Lelouch on the screen.
How she wished her brother were still alive! She had been too harsh.
People around the world watched Lelouch's changing expressions—some confused, others in tears.
Those closest to Lelouch already understood what he was about to do.
.....
[On the screen, Lelouch stood before a world map and declared to all:]
[Hear me, world!]
[I am the Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, Lelouch vi Britannia! Schneizel now serves under me!]
[Damocles and Freyja are in my hands! The Black Knights no longer have the power to oppose me!]
[No one can stop my tyranny!]
[Lelouch vi Britannia commands you!]
[World, submit to me!]
[ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!!]
[At this moment, the entire world fell under Lelouch's control.]
[Many perished in this great war. A cemetery bore countless names, including Suzaku's.]
.....
One Piece World.
"Garp..."
"Don't ask! I have no brains!"
Garp glared at Sengoku. If he asked for his opinion again, he'd make sure to give him a taste of his "Fist of Love."
.....
"This savior conquered the world?"
Countless people were puzzled. Could dictatorship truly save the world?
.....
[The scene finally returned to the beginning.]
A tyrannical emperor, devoid of public adoration, faced silent curses under the weight of his power.
Soldiers lay in ambush, preparing a rescue operation.
But before they could act, a familiar figure appeared before the crowd—
Zero!
Kallen, on the execution platform, stared in disbelief, her mind reeling.
[It can't be... Lelouch is over there...]
Those who knew Zero's true identity were stunned.
[Could it be that Lelouch's plan was...]
Kallen finally understood.
"Zero" charged toward them. Soldiers fired relentlessly, but every shot missed—a spectacular display of poor aim.
Jeremiah Gottwald stepped forward and shouted:
[Hold your fire! I'll deal with him!]
Jeremiah rushed forward, pretending to engage in combat, but within seconds, Zero stepped on his shoulder and leaped upward.
[Go, masked knight!]
Zero instantly closed in on Lelouch and raised his sword to strike.
Lelouch offered symbolic resistance, his face filled with relief as he looked ahead.
[The scene shifted to a tranquil palace.]
Sunlight streamed into the room, illuminating two young men. Lelouch said to Suzaku:
[Suzaku, as planned, all the world's hatred is now focused on me. Once I disappear, the chain of hatred will break.]
[The Black Knights will retain the legend of Zero. Schneizel will also obey Zero.]
[This way, the world will no longer rely on military force but can resolve issues at the negotiation table, moving toward tomorrow.]
Lelouch's face showed none of the tyranny he had displayed to the world.
Instead, he looked completely at ease.
Suzaku took the mask from Lelouch.
[This is...]
[The Zero Requiem!]
[Hey, Suzaku, don't you think Geass is like a wish?]
[Huh?]
[When you can't achieve something on your own, you seek help from others.]
[A wish?]
[Yes. I used a Geass called "wish" on the entire world...]
[For the sake of tomorrow!]
[On the screen, Suzaku's sword drew closer to Lelouch...]
[Those below who realized what was happening cried out, but it was too late.]
Lelouch smiled at Suzaku:
[Only those with the resolve to be killed have the right to shoot.]
[Before the throne, Lelouch did not flinch. He smiled, facing what was to come.]
[Suzaku, you must become a hero.]
[The savior Zero, who saved the world from its enemy, Lelouch vi Britannia!]
[The sword pierced through Lelouch's chest...]
[The entire world fell silent.]
[Blood instantly stained the white imperial robes.]
[Behind the mask, Suzaku's tears had long soaked his clothes. He trembled and whispered: "Le... Lelouch."]
[Lelouch weakly raised a bloodied hand and placed it on the mask, murmuring: "This is your punishment too. You must live on as the masked messenger of justice."]
["No longer Suzaku Kururugi, you must sacrifice ordinary happiness for the world. Forever."]
[Suzaku, tears in his eyes, replied: "This Geass... I have received it!"]
[Lelouch stumbled forward a few steps and collapsed below the platform, his eyes glazing over as death approached.]
[Nunnally stared blankly at her dying brother. The moment she touched his hand, she understood everything.]
["Brother, I love you!"]
[Lelouch seemed to react slightly, a faint light flickering in his eyes. He whispered: "I... destroyed the world... and created... a world..."]
[Then he closed his eyes and passed away...]
[The girl cried out for her brother repeatedly, but the boy could no longer respond...]
[Her despairing cries echoed around her... Ignored by many, yet drowning out the shouts of countless others.]
[In people's hearts, only one name remained:]
[Zero!]
When people cheered the hero's name, they did not know the true hero had already fallen!
Glory returns to Lelouch...
