コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ
In the year 2010, the Holy Empire of Britannia conquers Japan in a single month using advanced humanoid combat vehicles called Knightmare Frames. Stripped of its name and identity, the nation is reduced to Area 11, and its people—now called Elevens—are forced to live as second-class citizens under Britannian rule. Resistance groups form across the occupied territory, fighting for Japan's independence.
Lelouch Lamperouge, a Britannian student and exiled prince, becomes entangled in the conflict when he is caught in a skirmish between Britannian forces and rebels. A mysterious girl named C.C. saves his life and grants him the Geass, a supernatural power that allows him to command absolute obedience from anyone. With this ability, Lelouch adopts the masked identity of Zero and launches a calculated rebellion against Britannia, determined to destroy the empire from within and exact his revenge.
