In 2010, the Holy Empire of Britannia is gaining prominence as a military power, beginning with their conquest of Japan. After being defeated swiftly, Japan becomes known as Area 11. The people of Japan resist against these tyrants in an attempt to regain independence. Unfortunately for Lelouch Lamperouge, a Britannian student, he finds himself caught in the crossfire between the two forces. However, he is saved by the timely appearance of C.C., who grants him Geass, the "Power of Kings." Realizing the immense potential of his newfound power, Lelouch embarks on a dangerous mission as Zero, leading a ruthless assault against Britannia in order to seek revenge for the wrongs done to Japan.
