Code Geass R2 #24:

Freia was about to be activated again and Lelouch had to plan the next counterattack. Nunnally was also being manipulated to play a part in the battle. Xing-Ke was still unhappy with the Prince’s intention to eliminate Lelouch along with his hostage – Tianzi and Kagerou. In the school, Lelouch’s ex-classmates were working hard on something. Suzaku made use of the geass Lelouch had placed on him long time ago to his advantage in his fight against Xing-Ke. The war continued on. Lelouch knew his side had reached its limit and went for the next step. He talked to Nina who was willing to help him to gain Euhpy’s late wish. Lelouch later checked with C.C. who was prepared to carry out the next stage of mission with Lelouch. She confirmed with Lelouch’s willingness if his attack might hurt Nunnally and he told her he had no choice. He also told her that because of her giving him of geass, he was able to move into the next stage. The building suddenly shook and Kallen broke in to confront Lelouch. C.C. rode a Knightmare to protect Lelouch. He went for his plane to carry out his part.

Meanwhile, the prince told Nunnally to press a button to activate something. Same time, Lelouch was approaching the battlefield. Nina was also working to stop Freia while it was activated. Suzaku followed Lelouch’s order to strike Freia. Freia was stopped. Nina was thrilled to see her project worked. Lelouch activated his force. Shook by the impact to the ship, Nunnally fell off her chair. Suzaku and others invaded the prince’s main ship. One of the former Knights of Round appeared and fought Lelouch’s knightmare. Suzaku went to aid Lelouch, so that the latter could move on. Lelouch’s knightmare was damaged and he was forced to run off by foot. Suzaku faced off his former comrade. The others meanwhile were shocked to learn that the prince was just using Nunnally as bait to defeat Lelouch. Meanwhile, C.C. and Kallen fought. Kallen won as she damaged C.C.’s knightmare. On the ground, Nunnally tried to find the remote to activate Freia hoping to stop Lelouch. At the control room, Lelouch was already sitting on a chair waiting for his brother. The prince was not surprised. Other place, Lelouch’s servant and subordinates escorted Tianzi and Kagerou to Xing-Ke. Other room, Conelle was still alive, as the prince had no intention to kill her. Besides her stood her knight who wept. Meanwhile, Lelouch was interrogating his brother on ideology. Lelouch taunted his brother of his narrow-mindedness to look for tomorrow’s happiness. The prince criticized Lelouch for his greed. Lelouch told him he had seen how different people struggled with different aims. Without knowing when he had travelled, Lelouch was already in the same room as the prince. Lelouch used his geass on the prince. The prince’s subordinates had already been subdued by Lelouch’s men. One of them broke through and tried to shoot Lelouch but the prince shot the man first. The prince told Lelouch that the Feia control was at Nunnally’s. Outside the main ship, Suzaku and his former comrade were still fighting. Kallen arrived to join in the fight. In the large garden, Lelouch approached Nunnally who held the control tight and she opened her eyes for she had broke through the geass her mother had put on her. Lelouch was shocked.

Code Geass R2 #25 – FINALE

Lelouch was shocked as Nunnally commented he had a murderer’s face. She was determined to stop him even if it might kill him. She challenged him to use his geass on her but he could not bring himself to manipulate her. Meanwhile, Suzaku faced off Kallen after he defeated his former comrade. Kallen was determined to stop him and Lelouch. In the city, the traffic was in a jam as people rushed to evacuate. In school, Lelouch’s ex-classmates refused to leave. Same time, Orange was fighting Taya. In the garden, Nunnally was arguing with Lelouch. At the battlefield, Kallen and Suzaku quarreled over definition of justice while they fought. Toudou forced himself to return to battlefield but collapsed. Xing-Ke was also fighting elsewhere. In the hospital, Conelle was discussing with her knight. In the building, the researchers of both sides were arguing. C.C. was looking at the sky. In the garden, Lelouch was forced to use geass on Nunnally to hand the Freia control to him. She did. Orange leaped onto Taya’s knightmare and she told him of her lost memory. Kallen and Suzaku were still fighting and both sustained heavy damages. Suzaku’s Lancelot exploded. In the garden, Lelouch walked away with the control and Nunnally fell over the staircase, calling him devious. Kagerou told C.C. that Suzaku was defeated and told C.C. to beg for mercy. Lelouch announced himself as emperor as he told others of the prince’s kneeling for him and his possession of Freia. The world was shocked. Taya was unconscious. The world hailed for Lelouch.

2 months later, Lelouch was in possession of the throne and the Black Knights along with the prince, Xing-Ke, Tianzi were captured. Nunnally was chained to the ground. Suzaku was buried and honored for his sacrifice in the battle. The people were fearful of him. The researchers were imprisoned. Conelle and others were on the run. Ohgi, Kallen and others were bound to the poles, prepared to be executed. Suddenly, Zero appeared and faced off Lelouch. The public was shocked. Flashback, Lelouch told Suzaku to kill him if desired to end hatred, as he handed Zero’s mask to him. Nunnally and Kallen looked shocked. Flashback, Lelouch had wished geass to be of people’s wish. Back to present, Suzaku in disguise of Zero brought his sword into Lelouch’s chest. The world was shocked as they witnessed the event. Suzaku wept. Lelouch stated Suzaku would be the defender of justice as he died in his arms. Suzaku pulled out the sword and Lelouch fell towards Nunnally. She called him and held his hand. She sensed the flashback between Suzaku and Lelouch. She wept and told him of her love for him. Lelouch had flashbacks of his life before he gave off his last breath, Nunnally screamed and cried for him. Conelle appeared and ordered the release of the hostages. Kallen stated that was truly Zero. Meanwhile, Nunnally wept and stated her world empty without Lelouch and cried out loud. Meanwhile, the general public glorified Zero.

Time passed. Kallen was back to schooling as she thought of Lelouch. Nunnally and Suzaku ruled the country and peace returned. Orange retreated to the field. Ohgi had married. C.C. went on her wandering life.

COMMENT:

Almost the same type of concept as Gundam 00, ie, peace and justice. Better than Tsubasa Chronicles. Finally another anime series completed. Phew… I did not expect the 'Nunnally chained to the ground' scene after Lelouch's official taking over the throne. Looks a little bit horny. Lelouch's death is also not expected eventhough I've read through the spoilers in wiki. The final ending part is a little confusing though, why does the prince willingly rule the country with 'Zero' despite his cunning and ambitious characteristic? I don't intend to go into indepth, still, it's very out of character for him. Maybe he has learnt his lesson after his defeat by Lelouch, I guess.
