"good and evil intentions are on each side of the same card" wow

Geass was flawed but Charles himself is actually kind of interesting; he really believes it's a dog eat dog world, but he wants it NOT to be and everything he does is to ensure that everyone IS equal. The problem is that the price is way to high

1:27 keep Euphie’s name out your damn mouth Marianne

Charles and Marianne: We love our children! Humanity needs Complementation! You clever little fool! Lelouch: Boggis, Bunce And Bean! One Fat, One Short, One Lean! These Horrible Crooks So Different In Looks, Are None The Less Equally Mean!

The path to hell is pave with good intentions. Charles, vivi, and her wife wanted to a perfect world to what they envisioned to become. They disregard life, those who suffered and the present itself cause they believe all those who perish would returned, the lies would be strip away, and everything good would become true shape by their image. But lelouch rebuke such world idealized by man is flawed. He value freedom, faith in humanity, and worth of one's identity. Lelouch know his limits and his power his unable to defeat God himself (only sword of akasha, the Godslaying weapon able to force it's will unto God.) But then lelouch uses his power rather than command God out of arrogance. But with humility and righteousness conviction that he plead with God, his prayer is genuine and sincere. God acknowledged that charles desire would strip away free will unto men, destroy the established natural order, the future would cease to exist as the world become stagnant, the identity of man would be lost in its vastness of commonality, and life itself would become irrelevant and they would become merely existing. So Lelouch simple prayer turn into a wish, and that wish become reality and so charles and those who support his idealized world is deny and in very reality itself response is to erase them from existence. But in new code geass charles lingering emotions still lingers in the thought elevator as a barrier that hinders anyone from entering it.

Charles going straight Danny Phantom and trying to choke slam his son but Lelouch not moving an inch and just standing there grilling him then telling Suzaku who's the only one there who can actually fight and everyone clearly knows it to "stay out of it" when he knows damn well he can't fight his way out of a wet paper bag just show's how brilliant Lelouch really is... Even in this moment when he's at his weakest having no knightmare or real allies with him since C2 betrayed him and Suzaku hasn't decided to join him yet and fighting his greatest enemy in their own home field advantage pretty much everyone is against him he puts on his best poker face and bluffs so well like he's not afraid and is in complete control of the situation that Charles actually believes him and dies... SO while being choked and not being able to do anything to stop it he pretty much goes "Nah Suzaku chill I'm not dying look he is..." so convincingly that Charles believed it and died! Because before Lelouch said what he said Charles was dying very slowly but after Lelouch says "Begone now!" Charles disappears instantly! So it's like after Lelouch was able to convince "God" to grant his request he's able to convince his dad to just die... How else can you explain why Charles disappears faster after Lelouch tells him to fuck off?

I'm saving this clip for my father, as the last thing I communicate before I go. Nothing I've seen comes as close to how accurate this explains my thoughts. Code Geass still remains as my #1. Still haven't seen anything to this day that has taken the crown.

Sic Semper Tyrannis Charles Zi Britania.

As the saying goes; Blood makes you related, Love makes you family. In Lelouch’s case he met people more loving than his birth parents ever were.

Anyone know the song thats playing in the background?

3:50

This might be the most important episode in the whole series, and most people just turn their brains off and refuse to actually engage with it...

It's funny how charles eventually knows that lelouch is not falling for his lies, there is nothing that justifies throwing your own children away and he screams "you clever little fool", he's been found out

Lelouch and Light had different goals but were both fighting for the same thing plus Light wouldn’t be able to do anything until Zero/Lelouch removed the mask and Lelouch can’t use Geass on light because his shinigami would tell him what happened they are both strategic I admit it would be an interesting fight

"Over my dead body" 🐐🐐🐐🐐

Why don't beat Charles face,and cold tell him a idiots,Instead just a talk

Lelouch is the anti-Shinji

100%. You abandoned us 💔

That I WILL NOT LET YOU CALL THAT A LIE. OVER MY DEAD BODY. Is probably my favorite line in all of anime. Lelouch has so much love for his sister. I fundamentally believe lelouch is one of the most human and emotional characters ever written.

Suzaku: well Euphy and Shirley never said Lelouch was Zero Lelouch seconds later: I AM ZERO THE MAN WHO WORKS MIRACLES 😂😭 That's so hilarious.

Aw

4:49 that line hits so deep especially if you an older sibling 😮😮😢

When you realize Lelouch's eng VA was also Jonathan's from JJBA: That all makes sense to me he won

Why is Adachi here 💀💀💀

Wait a moment. I get it now. The ends dont justify the means. Thats exactly what Suzaku talked about! all this time he said it. In a sense Lelouch was no different than both Charles and Marienne. The reason he didnt join in the beginning is all so clear.

Even a miracle needs a hand

Marianne: Behold! Its begun! The sword of Acosha is slaying God! Charles: Now, once our marks of Geas become one the old world will cease and the new world will spring forth! Suzaku: Lelouch, what was your motivation for wanting to control the world? Lelouch: Don't waste my time Suzaku, you know it was Nanali. Suzaku: Or are you just using her as your excuse? Lelouch: Hm, yes you're right. I am, I have fought to protect everything I thought I wanted to protect. Suzaku: IF you're going to achieve that end, you're going to need to take action. Lelouch: Yes, the means to that end requires me to reject something. Suzaku: Which is? Lelouch: That I, I reject you and I reject everything you believe!! Why do people lie? It isn't only because they struggle against each other, its also because there's something that they're seeking. You NOW want a world without change? How stagnant! You could hardly call it LIFE, the same as a world of memories. Just a world that's closed and completed. That's a place I wouldn't want to live in. Marianne: But Lelouch, are you saying you're rejecting ME as well? Lelouch: That depends, is your desire the same as his majesty's, mother? Marianne: It would be so good to rejoin all the people from whom we've been seperated. You could be reunited with those who have died! Even Euphemea! Lelouch: As I expected. You both believe that this world you envisioned would be best for all, but forcing your good intentions on others is no different from an evil act. Charles: In time, the people will come to accept it. Lelouch: THAT TIME WILL NEVER COME! Only one thing is undeniably certain, I understand now that what you did to Nonali and me may have been done out of good intentions. But, the hard fact remains that you abandoned us in a foreign land! Marianne: But we did that to protect you! Lelouch: Then why didn't you stop the war between Japan and Britania?! The plan was such a priority for you both, that it didn't matter to either of you if Nonali were alive or dead. That's why you abandoned us!! All you have left are self-serving excuses! Marianne: Lelouch! You're wrong! Lelouch: You just told me! You said the dead would rejoin the living! You don't give a DAMN about the future! Charles: The future is the Ragnorock connection. Once its finally done the gentler existence Nonali spoke of will- Lelouch: STOP IT! The world you're speaking of will be kinder and gentler ONLY FOR YOU! The world that my sister wished for, is one in which kindness is extended to everyone, even strangers. Suzaku: He may be right. At the very least, Euphy never said that Lelouch was ZERO. Even to the very end, Shirley didn't either. That's why I... Charles: Lets say it was true, what of it? There's nothing to be done about it. The Ragnorock connection has begun. Lelouch: You think so? I am ZERO, the man who works miracles. Charles: Your Geass power will have no effect on me. Nor will it on anyone else here. Lelouch: No, there's someone else here, isn't there? Charles: Ah! Lelouch: That's right. C's world is the will of mankind itself. And all men are not equal, remember those words? They're your own! And because of that, I'm sure you realize that my power WILL work. Charles: You're a fool Lelouch! God cannot be defeated by the power of the King! Lelouch: I don't intend to defeat God, this is a request! Yes, now I know who I really am, God, collective unconscious! PLEASE DON'T STOP THE MARCH OF TIME!!

Yeah, rule, Britannia... in hell!!

IMO, Johnny Yong Bosch's dub of Lelouch sounds cooler than Jun Fuykuyama's Lelouch. The way Jun Fukuyama deepens his voice for Zero is very dramatic but also is a wonderful Chuunibyo hero complex voice. Johnny's voice in Code Geass stays pretty consistent and passionate without overdramatizing himself.

This is just persona 4

Bro killed for his mother then killed his mother😂😂😂

I still couldn’t believe what Charles and Marianne did to their own children,am I only the one who hates them now?!

Oh my, that voice acting was even better than the original, amazing work! first time hearing it, now i want to watch code geass in full english.

Anime designs at their ugliest.

It's payback time for turning your back on your own children

And this all for my sister

Man I still don't fully understand what the fuck went on in this scene or what the thought elevator was or whether Lelouch used his Geass or simply asked the Collective Unconscious but either way this was such a badass scene! It's so sad though, all this time Lelouch was trying to avenge his mother and sister, only to learn his mother was in on this whole thing... And that one line at 1:44 is just so powerful, "Only one thing is undeniably certain. I understand now that what you did to Nunnally and me may have been done out of good intentions, but the hard fact remains that you abandoned us in a foreign land!" Pretty much his entire speech is quotable, but that line in particular stands out to me for some reason. Maybe because it's true, because parents sometimes do things to scar their children despite having good intentions. As they say, "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions". And while it is "the thought that counts", the sad reality is that they abandoned Nunnally and Lelouch in favor of their grand plan. Although, I would argue Marianne did at least have some love for her children, even if sadly she ultimately discarded that love for the sake of her own goals. She had C.C. watch her son and report to her what was going on, and she's probably the reason C.C. intervened and jumped in front of Lelouch when he was about to be shot at the beginning of the series (when she yelled "he mustn't die!") Even so... in the end Marianne chose a false reality over a real one, that's why she was absorbed into C's World, right? Such an amazing series, and yet it's so frustrating because there are so many unanswered questions. Who are those people we see with the Geass sigils on their foreheads when C.C. first gives Geass to Lelouch (and later on every time she uses her power). What is that planet? Is that where they originally came from? I half-expected C.C. to turn out to be a member of an alien race with Geass powers but nah apparently she was a regular human before being given the Code. How many Code Keepers are there, by the way? Who was the first? Where did this power originate from and how exactly does it work? What is the "thought elevator" and this whole Sword of Akashi that Charles built? What does it do exactly and what was Charles planning on doing if Lelouch hadn't shown up? What is C's World? What does the "C" stand for? What is C.C.'s real name? Why does she go by C.C.? What does C.C. even stand for?! Or V.V. for that matter? So many unanswered questions! 😭 Edit: God, 5:22 hits really hard too.

Incredible writing man... using his Geass on God/the collective unconscious is INSANE... incredible metaphysics/philosophy for geass to ultimately be like a request so true that even the collective unconscious would follow, let alone the average person

Jeez suzuku really is stupid, he knows all Lelouch did is for Nunally, like no kidding. He created an entire war, literally everything just for Nunally. Lelouch didn’t do anything for the better if the world, he did it for Nunally. It wasn’t even an excuse, that was literally the main and only reason lmao.

Vazz: "But.....why? You can't do this!!!" Charles: "It's not our choice."

That sword could destroy the balance of the universe if used to slay God

Perfect, man

:3

“Regardless, what I want… is tomorrow!” Gives me major chills that line.

How come he didn’t use geass on them to make them stop all this

Johnny boy is spitting straight rage into these dub lines.

_From that day forth, my arm changed... and a voice echoed "Power... give me more... Power!!!!" If I become a demon, so be it!!!_ Lelouch is also Nero from DMC4

2:03 asss :D

Code Geass is the only anime where I actually enjoy the dub over the subs. The sheer venom and rage Johnny poured into every word Lelouch said in this scene is absolutely breathtaking.
