While Kallen and the Black Knights rescue the prisoners, Rolo appears in the Vincent to kill Lelouch for his betrayal. However, Lelouch takes a bullet meant for Rolo, giving the youth pause.

In exchange for Japan's independence, the Black Knights agree to betray Lelouch. Unable to escape, Lelouch tells Kallen he was using her all along to keep her from sharing his fate, but whispers that she should live on within earshot. Lelouch is prepared to accept death, until Rolo, piloting the Shinkirō, rescues Lelouch and escapes the combined forces of the Black Knights and the Britannians. However, the excessive use of his Geass required to do so overtaxes his heart and dies after flying Lelouch to safety.

EP20 Emperor Dismissed Aug 24, 2008

As the Emperor prepares to begin Ragnarok, Lelouch and Suzaku head to Kaminejima to face him. No longer restrained by his notions of wrong methods being meaningless, Suzaku strikes a deal with Schneizel to become the Knight of One, in exchange for assassinating the Emperor. Lelouch, using his Geass to its full potential, compels much of the Britannian military on the island to follow his commands. Meanwhile, the leaders of the Black Knights decide to declare Zero dead, as the truth will be far more difficult to swallow, but their story is doubted by others. Anya's mind is taken over by Marianne, who restores C.C.'s memories. The two begin to put their own plans into motion. At Kaminejima, Suzaku is held at bay by Bismarck, while Lelouch marches into the Sword of Akasha, through the Thought Elevator, unopposed.

EP21 The Ragnarök Connection Aug 31, 2008

Within the Sword of Akasha, Lelouch learns the truth about his mother's death from the Emperor and Marianne herself. The two reveal their intention to create a gentle world without lies, and begin Ragnarok. Lelouch almost reconciles with them, but changes his mind when he realizes that the world the Emperor desires has no future. Evolving his Geass to its next level, Lelouch defeats the Emperor with the help of the collective unconscious mind of every human, the personification of the "gods" the Emperor sought to defeat, dissolving both him and Marianne into dust. With Ragnarok ended, Lelouch takes up the throne as the new Emperor, using his Geass to make all the dissenters in the court acknowledge him as such. Suzaku is appointed as his new "Knight of Zero," while C.C. looks on from the shadows.

EP22 Emperor Lelouch Sep 07, 2008

Lelouch begins his reformation of Britannia, abolishing the aristocracy and Area system. The Knights of Rounds attempt to remove Lelouch from power, but Suzaku, piloting the Lancelot Albion, easily obliterates their ranks, killing Bismarck Waldstein and two other Rounds members while only disabling Gino's Knightmare. His position secure, Lelouch announces his intention to join the U.F.N. On the way to the meeting, he and Kallen bid each other farewell after she kisses him, Kallen having been unable to get Lelouch to answer any of her questions. When the UFN demands that he accept a limit to his voting power to prevent Britannia from attaining an automatic majority, Lelouch forces their hand by having Suzaku take the U.F.N. leaders hostage and Britannia's military surround Japan. During the commotion, the Britannian capital is obliterated by Schenizel, who is aboard his new flying fortress, the Damocles. He reveals to Lelouch that Nunnally is alive, and she declares herself to be Lelouch and Suzaku's enemy.

EP23 Schneizel's Guise Sep 14, 2008

Schneizel unveils his plan to position the Damocles in such a way as to strike every warring nation in the world, thus enforcing peace through the threat of annihilation.

With some harsh words from Suzaku and C.C.'s comfort, Lelouch comes to his senses and focuses on his original task. Nunnally, frustrated that she cannot fight or protect anyone, decides to shoulder the sin of launching F.L.E.I.J.A. herself. Schneizel, backed by the Black Knights and the remaining Knights of Rounds, clashes with Lelouch in the sky above Mount Fuji. Though Lelouch is able to destroy a fair portion of the Black Knights by detonating the sakuradite mines in Mount Fuji, the Damocles remains unassailable and its payload of F.L.E.I.J.A. warheads still looms over him.

EP24 The Grip of Damocles Sep 21, 2008

The Black Knights manage to board the Avalon. Lelouch escapes in the Shinkirō while C.C. holds Kallen at bay long enough for Lelouch to escape. Using Nina's F.L.E.I.J.A.

However, Lelouch manages to outsmart Schneizel, using his Geass to force him into obedience. Suzaku and Gino battle outside the fortress, with Gino unable to hold out against Suzaku. Using his last attack, Gino takes out the Damocles shields, allowing Kallen to take over. Meanwhile, Lelouch goes to confront Nunnally, who has regained her sight.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Salman Khan the animation is beautiful. there are mecha fights although that doesn't tickle my fancy but still people seem to like it, so yeah.unfortunately these are the only things this show has going for it.the characters are extremely one dimensional with a singular exception of lelouch. seriously, almost every other character is so painstakingly annoying that you can't help but root for lelouch even when he's supposedly in the wrong. maybe that was the writers plan all along. there are some thrills here and there when the protagonist is in a difficult situation but all that tension is wasted away with impossible ex machinas. but the worst of all is the reasoning presented behind the actions of the characters. it is beyond stupid, it is painful. everyone is a hypocrite and somehow we are supposed to root for them
Cody Roseberry Honestly this whole series blew me away. I was intrigued all 50 episodes with the shows excellent use of creating a morally questioning world and conflict. It's a great mix of Mecha, Action, Political, Moral,and with a tap of Supernatural. The show branches out to different audiences and does a great job keeping all of them. A definite must watch.
Harikrushnan WHAT I LIKED1. Brilliant soundtrack and vivid art & animation.2. Extremely entertaining and the plot is filled with twists and turns. Multiple elements from various genres are used and the show has mind games, philosophy, supernatural powers, comic relief, politics, wars and cool action involving manned robots.3. The ending - Depressing but deserving.WHAT I DIDN'T LIKENothingTOP 5 EPISODES1. Turn 25 - Re;2. Stage 23 - At Least with Sorrow3. Turn 13 - Assassin From the Past4. Turn 19 - Betrayal5. Stage 22 - Bloodstained EuphieVERDICTOne of the best anime ever.10/10 - Masterpiece
Johnny H. Code Geass is one of those medium-pushers, particularly for anime, that invests in its selected medium to the absolute limit of its capacity; its animation and story are simply stunning with hardly a wasted moment in sight and no wasted time exploring its own self-invented alternate history, continuing the greatness of its predecessor 'Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: R1'.Code Geass is one of those fantasy stories that introduces so many alien concepts yet the characters are so relateable suspending disbelief for this saga makes it all the more like seeing an age-old piece of Mythology discovered and unraveling before our eyes for the very first time. Despite all the robot-suits and Star Wars villain-esque get-ups worn by the baddies in the show, we feel for the protagonists and their fight against the Brittanian Empire and want to see them triumph.Code Geass R2 is one of the finest animes to be made in the 21st Century, and by far one of the most thematically complex ones to become such an immensely popular cult-classic, if not more-so than that status I just gave it.Code Geass is the show that's turning non-anime fans into fans right now, and for good reason. It's something more than your typical anime romp; it's a new genre.
