コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ
In 2010, the Holy Britannian Empire swiftly conquers Japan, renaming it Area 11 and subjugating its people, known as Elevens. Seven years later, Lelouch Lamperouge, a Britannian student living in the occupied territory, leads a seemingly ordinary life alongside his friend Suzaku Kururugi, an honorary Britannian of Japanese descent. Haunted by a past tragedy, Lelouch has grown cynical about his ability to change the oppressive world around him.
His fate shifts dramatically when he encounters a mysterious girl named C.C., who grants him the power of Geass—the supernatural ability to command absolute obedience from anyone he makes eye contact with. Seizing this power as a weapon, Lelouch dons a mask and adopts the persona of Zero, a revolutionary terrorist dedicated to tearing down the Britannian Empire. His crusade for vengeance and liberation, however, inexorably draws him into a direct and painful conflict with his closest friend, Suzaku, who now fights for Britannia from within its military ranks.
