Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

There are but a handful of fictional tales that have affected me right to the core and stuck with me. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (“Code Geass“) is one of those tales. An anime series broken into two parts, Code Geass is an anime that was introduced to me by someone very special and dear to me, which makes the series all the more important and one that’s close to my heart.The anime follows Lelouch vi Britannia, the exiled Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, who now goes by Lelouch Lamprouge, as he receives the power of Geass, the ability to command others to do as he wills. With such power, Lelouch decides to use it to find out the truth about his mother’s death, seek revenge on his father, the Emperor, who had banished him, and to create a better world for his sister to live happily.Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Season 1-2 Download.

With such high goals, Lelouch inadvertently becomes Zero, a masked vigilante who bands together the Japanese rebels, who seek to reclaim their country from the Holy Britannian Empire, to form the resistance movement known as The Black Knights. The stakes are high and throughout his quest, Lelouch is forced to make life altering decisions and face off against his childhood friend, Suzaku Kururugi, a knight of the Holy Britannian Empire and his half-siblings, all of which are in line for the throne.

The story is slow to begin with as the anime focuses on character development, giving viewers the chance to truly familiarise themselves with Lelouch, a teenager with a great love and caring for his younger sister, Nunnally, and a strong will to create a better world for her. We are given an insight into the goodness within Lelouch, his morals, his deep caring for his friends and the inner pain he carries with him after losing his mother and being exiled by his cruel father. We are also presented with a view into how he is perceived by his friends and peers.
