02x05 - Knights of the Round

[bunniefuu]

Black Knights... BANZAI!!!

What happened to the Knightmare that saved Zero?

It got out using the route Xing-ke gave it.

Xing-ke?

The Chinese Federation guy I told you about.

I see. Then I'll make use
of that route as well.

So, was that pilot the same
one from Babel Tower?

Because of what happened to Urabe,
I won't tell you his name.

Just think of him as
someone who supports us.

Did you use your Geass on him?

It turned out I didn't need to.

Anyway C.C.,
about the Emperor and...

Hold it! Are you keeping that
pilot a secret from me, too?!

So what? There are times
I like to keep secrets, too.

Is that you speaking
as Zero or as Lelouch?

It's not like everyone knows
about our relationship, right?

Hey! Quit saying weird stuff like that!

What about Zero's true identity?

Kallen and I are the only ones in the
organization who know the truth.

Keep that secret, too.

Lelouch, may I go on being captain of
Zero's personal guard, as I have been?

Yes.

Understood. Aye, aye, sir!

I'm counting on you.

We'll talk about the Geass later.
We have more pressing matters.

Right. Understood.

Oh, man!
I've missed my old uniform!

Rock and ROLL!

I can't believe they
had all this ready for us!

They say Capt. Kouzuki
and Mr. Urabe prepared it for us.

Man...

I see.
So, Urabe d*ed well, you say?

Yes, sir.

You should just confess, already!

Wh- What do you mean, "confess?"

It's Zero!

Zero?

Zero!

Hold it! Hold it!

We appreciate your rescuing us,

but we wouldn't have been captured in
the first place if you hadn't betrayed us!

Don't you owe us an explanation?

Zero, what happened?

Everything is for victory over Britannia.

Right. And?

That's all.

You have nothing else to say?!
No excuses? No apologies?

Stop it!

Zero, were you trying to give
us a better chance of winning?

I always have my eye
on getting results.

I understand.

There are times when operational
details must be kept secret!

Right now, we need his power!

I can't think of anyone more
capable than he is!

I agree!
Everyone, let's trust Zero!

But Zero treated you like a pawn.

Who else but he could
have pulled this off?!

Even the Chinese Federation isn't
strong enough to wage w*r on Britannia!

And the E.U. Continues to lose
to Prince Schneizel, right?

We're the hope of all of the colony Areas!

Zero is the only one who can lead us
to victory in our w*r of independence!

He's right!
Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero!

Zero! Zero! Zero!

Morning and night, I long for you
Asa mo yoru mo koikogarete

I'll become a star and protect you
Hoshi ni naru yo kimi mamoru

No matter where the battle may take me
Tatakai wa yukue shirazu

At the intersection of tomorrow and yesterday
Ashita to kinou no kousaten de

You and I can't be together
Majiwaranai kimi to boku

I'm a sh**ting star, on my way right now
Ima iku yo boku wa nagareboshi

Even if the world crumbles apart
Sekai ga kuchihatetemo

There are things which will never change
Kawaru koto no nai mono ga aru

Even as we bear tears in our eyes
Namida wo koraete demo

There are things we must protect
Mamorubeki mono ga bokura ni wa aru

A message that's been in my body
Nanman'nen nan'okunen mae kara no

For thousands and millions of years,
Message ga tainai de

Springs out (I have no reservations)
Uzukidasu (Mayoi wa nai)

Roars out (It's easy)
Narihibiku (Kantan da)

In a hoarse voice (Calling tomorrow)
Shagareta koe de (Asu wo yobu)

With my wounded hands (I protect you)
Kizudarake no te de (Kimi mamoru)

I continue to fight!

I continue to fight!

Morning and night, I long for you
Asa mo yoru mo koikogarete

I'll become a star and protect you
Hoshi ni naru yo kimi mamoru

No matter where the battle may take me
Tatakai wa yukue shirazu

At the intersection of tomorrow and yesterday
Ashita to kinou no kousaten de

You and I can't be together
Majiwaranai kimi to boku

I'm a sh**ting star, tearing fate apart
Sadame wo kirisaku nagareboshi

I'll take away your overflowing tears right now
Afureru kimi no namida boku ga ima ubaisaru

KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND

From this day forward, I am returning
to class here at Ashford Academy.

I'm Suzaku Kururugi.
I look forward to working with you all.

Suzaku Kururugi?!

The guy who caught Zero?

The White Death
is coming to school here?

That's the Knight of Seven!

But, he's an Eleven...

Who cares?!
He reports directly to the emperor!

Okay, quiet down!

Sir Kururugi has been reassigned to Area
and he's coming back to school here.

You can take the desk
next to Lelouch for now.

Yes, ma'am.

Suzaku... You...

KURURUGI SHRINE

KURURUGI SHRINE
You were my first real friend.

KURURUGI SHRINE
But the w*r tore us apart.

But the w*r tore us apart.

The Second Pacific w*r,
by which Britannia took control of Japan.

After its defeat,
Japan became a colony Area of Britannia.

I, who was abandoned
by my homeland...

I, who abandoned my homeland...

When we were reunited,
we were enemies.

While I'm Japanese,
I am also a Britannian soldier.

I am! Ero.

We both hid our true identities.

We fought each other.

However, those are memories
of what truly happened.

The emperor rewrote
three things in his memory.

About Nunnally...

Any memories concerning! Ero...

And that I was a Britannian prince.

And so,
the two of us now...

It's been a while, Suzaku.

Feels like old times, Lelouch.

Suzaku, it's been ages!

You've really come up
in the world, Suzaku!

Suzaku's back?!

Miss President!
We're in the middle of class!

Oh, what's with you, Lelouch?

You screwed up, Suzaku.

You just heard the name Lelouch
and came right to my side.

In other words, you acted
as though you knew me.

Now, to make sure Rolo
doesn't do anything stupid...

And so everyone except us went back home.
Even the teachers!

Back to the homeland?

Yeah, which is why we're the only
ones here who know you. Right, Rolo?

R- Right.

I see. I was wondering why
I didn't recognize anyone here.

Hey, you saw Zero's face, right?
What was he like?!

Was it really a girl?

How about those rumors
it was actually Prince Clovis?

Was he a prince from
some other country?

Um, well...

Come on, surely you can
tell us that, at least.

Sorry, I can't. It's a m*llitary secr...

Arthur!

You brought him with you?!

Oh, you...
You really love cats, don't you?

Did anything leap out at you
in your contact with him?

No, not especially.

So, we can conclude the subject's
memories haven't returned?

Wait, please.
We need to investigate this further.

Are you saying you
don't trust our surveillance?

There's also the matter of C.C., correct?

Keep on playing his little brother,
as you have been.

Yes, My Lord.

It seems the student council is
throwing you a welcome party.

Reconfirm your findings then.

Understood.

What should I do?
Do I dare trust Lelouch?

Sir, could you please overlook all the
irregularities having to do with myself and Rolo?

Very well. Let's do that.

Don't go off campus
so much, you two.

Yes, sir.

The only member left now
is Coach Villetta, right?

Yeah, but Suzaku Kururugi
is here now. Shall I k*ll him?

Stop doing things like that.
Oh, and another thing...

Yes?

Can you stop speaking so formally to me?
We're brothers, right?

Don't worry. I'll hurry up with my plan
for your sake, as well.

I'm going to do it.
Japan will gain its independence.

Starting with this school.

Iwate.

Wakayama.

Tokushima.

There are reports from Yamaguchi, too.

Hmpf! Zero shows up again
and now we get this!

It may also be an effect
of Lord Guilford's absence.

If this keeps up,
our Sakuradite supply will also be...

Emergency!
Unknown M.R.F. Within the perimeter!

What?!

Impossible! This is the government
bureau that controls all of Area !

How was I able to
get in here so easily?

These guys are almost annoyingly sloppy!

Is this the best Area 's
defense line has to offer?!

Ah... Your response to me
isn't that bad, though.

Oh?

I don't know who you are,
but this ends right here!

Disqualified. That armament shows you
care more about protecting the building.

Oh, well.

What?!

Is that machine?!

So, that's what we're dealing with...

The variable Knightmare Frame: Tristan.

Which makes you Lord Gino Weinberg,
the Knight of Three, correct?

Yeah. I came to test you guys.

Now, try and stop me!

Very well! We can't let this
insult to us go unanswered!

Right, right.
Don't hold back on my account.

As you wish!

Thank you!

Why, you!

Stop this!

That's enough! The battle is decided!

Is that the decision of the Knight of Seven?

It is.

Oh! Suzaku!

Gino, I thought I asked you
to bring Lancelot here for me.

Yeah, but Earl Lloyd is going
to be coming with it next week.

Anyway, what's with that getup?

It's my uniform.
I've just come here from school.

Oh, so this is it.

Gino, I know you're from a great noble family,
but can't you act a little more normal?

Also, you're kinda heavy.

Is it over?

Mordred? Anya came along, too?

Is it over?

Suzaku made me end it!

How dull.

We've now assembled more
than enough firepower here.

Lelouch, in three days at the welcome party,
everything will be made clear.

Sorry for the wait!

We will now begin the welcome party
for the Knight of Seven!

Guest of honor,
please address the school.

Um... I don't suppose
I can ask not to say this, huh?

Of course not!
This is a presidential order!

Just accept it.
She sets the rules in this school.

All right.
Just give me a minute to prepare.

MEOW!

This way to the horseback riding course!

Big brother, is this really
appropriate for the occasion?

That's because of Milly.
The Prez loves events like this.

Besides, she wants to
make up for last year.

Hmm...

What should I do?
I should just...

Rolo.

I've told you, that's dangerous.

Here, hold your Kn*fe like this.

L- Like this?

Watch out for your hands.

Right...

Big Brother.

The truth is...
my Geass does have an Achilles' heel.

Wow, would you look at that!
Anya, check this out!

Recorded.

You really love that stuff, don't you?

So, now what? Doesn't look like there's
anything we have to especially do here.

Shall we take a tour of where
the commoners go to school?

Right, right. I'm in the storehouse
under the school right now.

Where are the spare energy fillers?

Huh? Didn't these belong to Nina?

Understood.

Go through cell F in Kyushu
and make contact with Diethard.

Right, have Rakshata come here and...

She wouldn't!

Come see us make
the world's biggest pizza!

Can you give me
the details about this?

Sure, here you go!

World's biggest pizza!

HEY!

What do you think... you're doing?!

I still have to retrieve something.

Why are you so obsessed with that doll?!
Anyway, come with me!

My, you come on forcefully, kid!

Shut up, Witch!

Don't you understand your situation?!

The emperor is trying to capture me.

And he's using you as bait.

That's right.
Suzaku's here, as well as another.

A woman I can't use my Geass on!

From pretty young girls...

to sexy grownup women!

Welcome to the Swim Club Cafe,
where you get exactly what you want!

I'm glad the coach agreed to do this for us!

Shirley... So help me,
you'll die a times for this!

If I didn't have to play
teacher for my mission, I'd!

I used to be a school teacher.

They've confirmed the Guren Mk-II is there.

Kallen must be in the consulate.

I see. It's hard to judge her. They call
themselves "resistance" fighters, but still...

Nina's doing well.

She just presented a thesis
at the Science Academy.

I wonder if she's planning
to perfect the Ganymede.

Dunno. Unlike Lloyd,
Nina's specialty is... Hm?

Has Earl Lloyd... mentioned me to you?

Nothing.

It was a shock to him, wasn't it?

My having to postpone the
wedding to repeat a year at school.

No, the thing about him is...

he's got so many flaws as a person.

Huh?

Arthur! That was Euphy's!

Suzaku! You're supposed
to wait here for the main event!

What's this?

They're using a Knightmare...
to make a giant pizza?!

So? The same person who gave
the emperor his Geass also told Suzaku?

That's right, although you shouldn't
delve into it any further than that.

I'm already involved in this.

V.V.

V. V? And did he give
Suzaku a Geass, too?

No, it appears not.
Anyway, at your side is...

Lulu!

What's up, Shirley?

Oh, there you are.

Do you need something?

Coach Villetta seems
to be avoiding me.

So, I was thinking you should...
Huh? You're alone?

Yeah.

Weren't you just talking to someone?

Nope.
It's just the two of us here.

Just the two of us?

Oh, no. I've started
feeling that this is my chance.

Look, Lulu,
would you consider going ou...

Sorry, I couldn't quite catch that.

Hey! What's the big idea,
whoever you are?!

What are you doing?!
If someone spots you, too!

I came to take Pizza Girl back!

Fine, she's in with the tomatoes.

Take the whole container and have
Tohdoh or Ohgi command the... WHOA!

Who is that?! You're rude!

How undignified!

Quit standing there and say something!

If I say something,
you'll find out who I am!

Hey! Hold it!

Shirley! Leave them alone!

Lelouch!

Have you seen Arthur?

He's got a valuable quill pen and...

Wait, is he inside this thing?

No! Cats and tomatoes
don't go together!

You're supposed to start here, right?

It can't be... Gino?!

Yeah!
This commoner school is really fun!

Hey! Wait!

Ooh!

Did I just see Arthur?

Oh, now we'll have
to change the schedule.

Now then, looks like it's coming
out onto the parade route!

It'll round the school building first
and then bring them here.

It's a classic Knight,
but it's handling fine.

Okay, the route's all set, so...

SHAKE TIME!

What a blunder!
He's taking Pizza Girl right to the stage!

Let me at least see who you are!

I am not... cut out... for this stuff!

Charge!

Here he is! The Knight of Seven,
Suzaku Kururugi!

He has appeared, along with our
Andes-grown Ultimate Tomatoes!

Okay, come on over!
You're the one we've been waiting for!

Um, except...

There's a different guy inside!

Whoa! Whoa!

General team!
Look up at the roof top garden!

What is it, Vice-Prez?

System pattern rouge!

System pattern rouge.
Release fire extinguishing gas. Initiating.

What's wrong?!
Is it that much of a surprise?!

What the hell's going on here?!

Sorry. Are you okay?

Oh no, it was my fault.

Was that?

Recorded. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, sometimes you just get these
little filler incidents in life. Fine, then!

Well? The person who saw you
was from the Swim Club?

It may have been the coach.

Villetta?!

I didn't get her name,
but the weird thing was...

I think I saw her with Ohgi
at the last culture festival.

Villetta and Ohgi?

Minami said that Ohgi may have had a
collaborator who reported directly to him.

Ohgi? He kept a secret from me?!

You really are very thick when it comes to
these sort of things, aren't you? You see...

Rolo... You're turned traitor?

Villetta Nu. The woman who was awarded the
rank of baron for ascertaining Zero's true identity.

But unknown to most,
you are connected to the Black Knights.

I never betrayed...

Kaname Ohgi.

If word of your relationship
with him became known,

you'd lose that title
you worked so hard to earn.

Why not be reborn as someone new?

Shirley actually gave me this to give to you,
so the timing here works out nicely.

Happy Birthday, Coach Villetta.

It seems I owe you another debt.

I just used my diplomatic immunity.

Besides, I'd like to repay
my debt to you as quickly as I can.

Then may I ask another favor of you?

I don't like to be colluding with you.

I'd like to get in contact
with the High Eunuchs.

The only thr*at remaining
to subdue is Suzaku.

Lelouch?

The guest of honor should
get to the main stage.

Hm? Oh, no.

Everyone looks like
they're having a good time.

Besides, there's something
I'd like to discuss with you.

What is it?

I'm planning to become
the Knight of One.

Whoa! That's the greatest
knight in the empire...

The Knight of One has the privilege of
being given one Area of his choice.

I intend to have this Area.
To take Japan for myself.

I've lost precious friends and a woman
which no one can ever replace.

I'm going to become so powerful
that I'll never lose anyone else.

That's why the Japanese
don't need Zero anymore.

Hmm... Indirect rule, you say?
You're trying to make it a protectorate?

You can ask this person
for the answer.

The new viceroy who's coming to
take charge of Area next week.

You want an ordinary student
to talk to the viceroy?

It's Kururugi.

Yes, he's right here in front of me.
Yes.

I don't know what to say.
Getting to speak with such an important person!

Hello? Big Brother?

Big Brother, is that you?! It's me! Nunnally!
I'm coming to be the viceroy!

Um, can't you hear me?
Big Brother? It's Nunnally.

Someday let's try to pick up and rebuild
Mune no naka itsuka hirotta

The fragments of happiness in our hearts
Shiawase no kakera atsumete miyou

That nearly forgotten melody
Wasurekaketeita melody

Stay vivid, deep inside of me
Iroasezu boku no man'naka ni

I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Arigatou kokoro kara

Everything I have now, I owe to everyone
Boku ni ima ga aru no wa minna no okagesa

I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Arigatou kokoro kara

Next I'll send happiness to everyone
Tsugi wa boku ga minna ni happy okuru yo

I won't forget anything
Nanimokamo wasurenai yo

Because I'm still the same as I was that day
Ano hi no boku mo boku dakara

You need me to keep on saying
Daisuki da yo'tte itsumo

How much I love you
Itte agenakya dame da ne

On those long nights, your tears about to overflow
Namida ga kobore sou na nagai yoru wa

Just turn around
Futto furikaette

Follow those footprints
Ashiato wo tadorun'da

So that you'll never forget that day
Ano hi wo wasurenai you ni

Right now, Nunnally is on
the other end of this phone.

Does Nunnally know that I'm Zero?

No, I doubt that.

That's why Suzaku
would try this trick on me.

If I talk to Nunnally, he'll know
if I've regained my memories.

He's using Nunnally as a trap!
NUNNALLY!

Suzaku! No matter how you may
wear the face of a friend,

your true face is the fiend
who sold me to the emperor!

Just the thought that
you'll be at Nunnally's side!

SURPRISE att*ck OVER THE PACIFIC
Just the thought that
you'll be at Nunnally's side!

SURPRISE att*ck OVER THE PACIFIC
