02x16 - United Federation of Nations Resolution Number One

[bunniefuu]

The world is moving, thanks to
the miracles Zero has performed.

The world is being reborn, thanks
to the actions Zero has taken.

Yes... The world is moving
to the next stage it should.

Along with many desires and heaving
emotions, Zero must carry on.

Because the hands which mark
out time can not be stopped.

At the end of the world
Sekai no owari de

The light that's born
Umareta hikari

Now blows in the wind
Ima kaze no naka

Pretty words alone won't sustain you
Kireigoto dake jaa ikirenai

Kindness alone won't heal you
Yasashisa dake jaa iyasenai

What is it that was stolen from you
Ubawareta nowa nanda

In this unchanging world
Kawaranai sekai de

What is it that you hear
Kikoetekita nowa nanda

A song of color
Shikisai no uta

Everything is bright

Let our crumbled dreams resound
Kudakechitta yume wo

At the edge of tomorrow
Asu no hate ni hibikaseru you ni

At the end of the world
Sekai no owari de

The light that's born
Umareta hikari

Becomes one with us
Bokura hitotsu ni

Now blows in the wind
Ima kaze no naka

UNITED FEDERATION OF NATIONS
RESOLUTION NUMBER ONE

The emperor!

He's disappeared?!

Yes. I've just received word
from Prime Minister Schneizel.

It's imperative that we restrict this
news to only those present here.

Apparently, this news has been reported to
only a handful of people in the homeland.

What are you saying has happened?!

He says they're still investigating that now.

Wait, please! What happens to our
preparations to att*ck the Chinese Federation?

If His Majesty can't issue a declaration of w*r,
then we can't do anything!

There are questions of
domestic security as well.

We have to decide on a policy to
take if the Numbers learn about this!

Well...

You are the viceroy, Princess Nunnally.

Miss Lohmeyer, aren't you placing too
much responsibility on Her Highness?

I... I meant no disrespect...

Should I be happy about this?

The emperor's disappearance means
Nunnally is safe for now, but...

I've done it! The actions Britannia is
taking means the emperor is absent!

It looks like he was
trapped in that otherworld.

I admit I'm concerned
about what he said before,

but for now I should be
happy that Nunnally is safe.

Um... What should I do?

Let's see... Wear your clothes inside out
and dance on one foot while singing.

Yes, master.

Stop it! I was just kidding!

I'm sorry!
Please don't b*at me!

She's completely reverted.

To the sl*ve girl she once was
before being affected by Geass.

Don't worry.
I won't harm you in any way.

I promise. It's the truth.

Lord Lelouch.

Jeremiah? What is it?

I see. You hid her inside
the Sutherland's cockpit.

Please forgive me, Lord Lelouch.

You ordered me to destroy them, but k*lling a
member of the Britannian royal family was just...

Forget it.
Rather, I should say well done.

Lelouch... What is it you seek
with that accursed power?

Sister... All I wish to do
is save my little sister.

You dare to say that!

Kinoshita.

A-Asahina...

Those are bloodstains, aren't they?
What exactly was Zero's operation?

It was...

We won't say.

Those are Zero's orders.
And it's not just for you.

This was kept top secret even
from Gen. Tohdoh, as well.

You're acting awfully important
for a newbie, aren't you?

The value of an individual in the
Black Knights is determined...

by how much confidence
they earn from Zero.

That's not how I value them.

I'm sorry!

What the hell are you saying?!

Some things you just don't do!

You think you can just act like a good
guy and then stop when it suits you?!

Well, I'm pissed off about it, so quit trying
to get a free show from Kallen Kouzuki!

Not resisting is just
pissing me off more!

Go ahead. k*ll me.

A prisoner just assaulted a Knight of the Round.
I'm ready to die.

I wouldn't, because I was
the one who did wrong!

You... I despise you!

Yes! By ratifying this united states charter,

it will give birth to a gigantic alliance of nations
that will rival the Holy Britannian Empire!

And its name shall be the
United Federation of Nations!

It's wonderful, Master Zero!

The governments-in-exile of the Britannian colonial
areas have already given approval to participate.

With this, we've earned a just
cause to launch a w*r of liberation!

A just w*r, huh?

If the forthcoming operation to
recapture Japan is successful,

The other powers who are still unable to
decide will turn to our side in a chain reaction!

But for that, we must form the
U.F.N. Before Britannia can act!

Time will decide victory or defeat here.

All of you here representing your
countries have things you wish to discuss,

but I ask that you cooperate from the
broader viewpoint of the main objective.

This is all to decide the course of world history!

Hello there, everyone!

I'm sorry!

It's Milly Ashford, the up-and-coming
one-woman festival, here!

You shouldn't just declare yourself that.

Okay, on to today's topics!

Now, watch us turn the front of a station into a zoo!

Right now, the people heading into Ikebukuro
station are being surprised with Animal Art!

I brought you some food.

It's me.

This is called pizza.
You're hungry, aren't you?

I wanted to give you some,
so I had Sugiyama make it.

Don't you remember?

Here. You have some, too.

It's all right. Eat.

Yes, master!

Is it good?

Yes! Really, really good!

Really. I'm glad.

Oh, Prez... You're doing your
character establishment all wrong.

Oh. That's right. You don't know what this is, do you?

Trouble on your mind?

Nothing but trouble. Even though
I chose this life eight years ago.

Do you believe in him? The
person you were eight years ago?

Are you trying to tell me that my
past decisions were foolish ones?

Peoples' memories are vague.
There's no point in believing in them.

That's not true.

There's no point.

I kept a diary nine years ago.

But I don't remember any of it.

There's so much more than that.

Differences between the memories
and the data I've been recording.

Is it possible? The emperor's Geass?
But why use it on Anya?

Not just that. Even now,
my memories differ from the data.

Even when we were fighting in the
Chinese Federation, they just suddenly...

Tell me, traitorous Sir Kururugi.
What do you need?

That would be life.

I see you're back from the White
Russian front, Sir Bradley.

The Knight of Ten.

I see you still have great skill at
making the ladies fall for you.

Like the famous m*ssacre princess...

Speak another word and you will
face me in a duel for honor, sir!

Oh? Have you forgotten?

I happen to be a genius at k*lling people.

Does a Number who can't grasp the
importance of bloodline think he can...

This is... The Galahad!

Don't fight amongst yourselves, you two!

The Knight of One! But why would
Lord Waldstein be here, too?

A foolish question, Anya.

This is the only Area the Black
Knights will come to att*ck. Luciano!

I brought the Valkyrie squadron
here for that, as well.

The Gareths have also been prepared for that.

Save your grandstanding for the b*ttlefield!

Now is the time for us to join forces
under the command of Prince Schneizel!

Understood, my lord. If you say so.

So, Lelouch was like that, huh?

Big brother can be terribly stubborn,
but he's actually very kind.

My big brother was like that, too.

Oh... I'd heard, but can this lovely young
lady really be the ace of the Black Knights?

I don't believe I gave you permission
to come in here, Sir Bradley.

My apologies, Your Highness.

So, you're the Vampire of Britannia.

Yes. It's a shame I'd suck your blood
as well, if this was a b*ttlefield.

So? Are you here to bring me back to the homeland?

No. Please stay here and
play hostage for a bit longer.

What is it you need for a hostage? It's life.

As long as they're alive, you
can do anything to their body...

Have you no pride, Sir Bradley?

Taking on an unarmed woman?

So naive... The little boy who only
has a good family to boast of.

So, you're saying it's so easy
to become a Knight of the Round...

just through recognition
of your family name?

Mount the F.L.E.I.J.A. On Lancelot?

We were intending to have
Suzaku use the Guren, but...

What? Me?

Sorry, I also got carried away with it.

Before we realized, Lloyd and I had
gotten wrapped up in our hobby, so...

Hobby?

Having one of Rakshata's machines to
tinker with was too much of a temptation.

Now it's so souped up, nobody can fly it.

Congratulations!
We need you as a Devicer again!

Excuse me, Prof. Lloyd?
About the Lancelot...

You want to mount a strategic
w*apon on a tactical w*apon?

For only one reason.

Because any matter caught within
the primary neutralization field...

will be completely annihilated by
the F.L.E.I.J.A. Collapse effect.

Wait a minute! You want Suzaku
to fire a w*apon like that?!

He'd be massacring his own people.

Suzaku, do you still consider yourself an Eleven?

I want to entrust F.L.E.I.J.A. To you.

You'd have me bear this burden?

You were Princess Euphemia's knight, after all.

Ah! Nina, my dear.
That contradiction won't just k*ll Suzaku.

It'll k*ll you, too.

U.F.N. CHARTER RATIFICATION CEREMONY SITE

Right, we've finished preparations
for a worldwide broadcast.

Mr. Xing-ke and General Tohdoh
are in the waiting room. Right.

Understood. I'll meet you in the assembly hall...

after I meet with the Indian
and Guinean representatives.

Don't go outside.

Y-Yes, master. And afterward, well...

What?

See you later.

I'll be off, then.

United States of China Representatives Room

United States of China Representatives Room
R-Regarding the union of nations charter,

I... I will leave
the explanation of it...

to Representative Kaguya
Sumeragi of the Supreme Council.

How are you? If it's too much for you, we can...

Oh, no! This much...

You'll be able to do it, Your Majesty.

Huh?! Good thing we followed Zero, right?!

Right...

By the way, where's C. C?

I heard she's still feeling sick.

Morning sickness? Good for her!

Tamaki, maybe you've had a too much to drink.

You gotta drink to celebrate!

A man shouldn't have to wear makeup.

He does if he wants to look
good for an occasion like this.

Um, when this battle is over, I...

There's something I'd like
to tell Kyoshiro Tohdoh.

Oh! You're finally here!

You think this is the time to be running late?

I know. Sorry.

Ohgi. This is a record for oversleeping.

Got away...

Sorry I'm late. The truth is...

Let's get a move on. This is
a day for the history books.

We're coming to you over Horai Island.

The ratification ceremony for the
united states charter is about to begin.

In other words, ratification of
this united states charter...

...will create a federation of nations
that will rival our own nation.

As parts of the now broken-up E.U. Are joining
as well, it will have great national power.

Among the former E.U. Nations are Poland, Italy...

I can understand about Suzaku and the others,
but why can't I contact Lelouch and Rolo?

It was the Black Knights who convinced the
representatives of these nations to do this.

In short, the leader of this union is Zero.

Meaning the probability is high that
it will be an enemy of Britannia.

Right now, our m*llitary forces in Kyushu,
Chugoku, and Hokuriku are on alert.

As everyone watching this broadcast has seen,

all nations have just ratified the
united states charter. Coming up next...

Lord Guilford, we've finished preparations
for your review of the troops.

Right. On my way.

What? If it's about the troop review...

Lord Guilford.

Orange?

They're forming a union of nations,
just as we expected.

But the militaries of each country
will never be able to work together.

It'll just be an unruly mob.

No. There's one good option for them.

...the basic obligations of this
charter shall take precedence.

Finally, article of the united states charter.

Finally, article of the united states charter.
U.F.N. SUPREME COUNCIL CHAIRMAN
KAGUYA SUMERAGI (Rep. - United States of Japan)

All ratifying nations to the united states charter
do hereby abandon native m*llitary power forever.
U.F.N. SUPREME COUNCIL CHAIRMAN
KAGUYA SUMERAGI (Rep. - United States of Japan)

Abandon m*llitary power?!

Are they mad?!

To guarantee the security of
each member nation instead,

we contract that to the Black Knights,
a fighting force not affiliated with any one country.

This contract has been accepted.

We will take funding and personnel from the U.F.N.

In return, we will become the shield
to defend every member nation...

and the sword to oppose any external foe!

Just as I thought.

The source of disturbances in the world is the
possession of m*llitary power by disparate nations.

The U.F.N. Shall only use m*llitary force according
to a resolution by the supreme council.

And so, I shall put forward our first motion.

The land of the people of
the United States of Japan...

continues to be held in an unjust
occupation by a foreign power.

I wish to request that the
Black Knights be dispatched.

All those in favor, please rise.

By overwhelming majority, under
U.F.N. Resolution number ,

the Black Knights shall be
dispatched to liberate Japan.

Very well! Under U.F.N. Resolution number ,
our first operational objective shall be...

Japan!

We're going to retake it! Our Japan!

Now we can rescue Kallen, too.

Uh, yeah. You're right.

Zero!

What?!

We've been hacked?!

It's coming in from routes!

Th-The emperor!

So, he's back.

Were you putting on this false theater, Father?

Use the auxiliary lines! Cut the link!

We can't! They've gotten
into the auxiliaries as well!

Zero... You thought
you could get the jump on me?

Impossible! How could he be alive?!

Still, I don't mind.

The E.U., which once comprised a
third of the world, is already dead.

All this annoying charter you've created does...

is serve to differentiate Britannia
from the rest of the world on a map.

I'm just being simple and clear about this.

After all, whoever succeeds in
this battle shall control the world.

So, very well, Zero. Have at me.

Will you win everything or lose everything?

That is the essential nature of w*r.

ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!

All hail Britannia! All hail Britannia!

Long live Japan!

Long live...

JAPAN!

All hail Britannia! All hail Britannia! All hail Britannia!

Long live Japan! Long live Japan! Long live Japan!

The emperor is still alive?!

Um, excuse me. Welcome back.

This isn't good. I have to rescue
Nunnally at once. At once!

I could play the Cornelia card... No.
Hostages would have no effect on him.

Maybe use Rolo and Jeremiah... No, I can't!

Geass doesn't work on him now! Do I reveal
to the world that Zero is actually Lelouch?

But if I reveal that their leader is an enemy prince,
the Black Knights will fall apart!

Even if I rescue Nunnally, it'll be meaningless
if there's no country that would accept us!

Dammit, what do I do?!

Um, here.
I kept this piece for you, master.

I don't think you had any breakfast today.
Um, please take it...

SHUT UP!

Hey...

Forgive me! I'll clean it up at once!

No, forget that! You're bleeding.

What? I'm fine. This happens
to me all the time. I'm fine.

All the time?

It helps when it's cold, though.

It hurts, but it keeps me warm, at least. It's hard to
move your arms and legs to work when it's cold, so...

So, I'm fine. Better to hurt
on the outside than the inside.

Master, are you cold?

Hm? Yeah... Maybe that's it.

What do you do?
When you hurt inside?

I...

I'd turn to friends...

I always wanted a friend.

They're not like parents or siblings,
because you can make more later.

But, I don't really have
anyone on my side like that...

On your side?

Well, that's what I've heard.
Am I wrong?

No, not at all.
That's exactly what a friend is.

Yes?

Suzaku?

Lelouch?

Um, yeah.
Have you seen the news?

Yeah. Now Area
will become a b*ttlefield again.

The Tokyo Settlement will be
in danger again too, won't it?

That depends on what you decide.

Lelouch... Are you Zero?

Yes. I am Zero.

So, what does an enemy of Britannia want with me?

I'm begging you. Please, save Nunnally!

The emperor is using Nunnally
as a hostage to pin me down.

That's why I had no choice
but to operate in secret!

Please, Suzaku! You're the only
person left I can ask this of!

You think your requests mean
anything to me at this point?!

No, I don't.
But you're the only one I can ask!

How selfish.

I know. But you're all I have.
All I have!

Please! Nunnally... Nunnally...

Please, protect her!

Very well.

However, on one condition.

If I protect Nunnally, as you ask, then you must
come to Area by yourself, where she is.

The place will be the Kururugi shrine.

The two of us will meet there. Alone.

This corrupt world is filled with demons
Dakuse wa oni

What is justice?
Seigi wa nanzo to

Resist, don't just question
Tou mae ni aragae yo

The flower of evil
Akutoku no hana

Dreams of hypocrisy
Gizen no yume

Give your gaze to the eyes that see them
Mishi me niwa me wo sashi

The line between right and wrong cannot be known
Sei mo ja mo wakatareru koto nashi

Light is gone, and you slumber
Hikari wa tae taiji no you ni

Like an unborn child in the womb of darkness
Kimi wa nemuru yami no shikyuu

Isolation is what you love
Kodoku koso itooshii

It will probably be your only ally
Yui-itsu no mikata to naru darou

One by one, stained with the tide of blood
Hitori hitori chishio ni mamire

You were born into this era
Kono jidai ni umare ochita

Oh, chosen princes

Battle shall be your banquet
Tatakai koso shukuen

Oh, I am graceful omniscience
Aa ware wa uruwashii zenchi

The loving mother
Ai no haha

Who bore you
Kimi wo umu

The ones who were raised on my breast
Kono chichi ni hagukumishi mono wa

Are your brethren in hell
Jigoku no harakara

The mark of apocalypse
Mokushi no in

What is truth
Shinri wa nanzo to

A seed of secrecy buried where no one knows
Shirimosezu uzumoreshi intoku no tane

A double-edged sword
Moroha no ken

Turn its blade upon the unsheathed blade
Nuku ha niwa ha wo muke

Believe only in what you must protect
Mamorubeki mono dake wo shinjite

And in your own way
Aru ga mama ni kimi wa

You'll set yourself free
Kimi wo hanate

With things like this, should I have
forced my way to save Nunnally sooner?

But as long as Nunnally won't
come to me by her own will,

I can't help but treat her as a hostage.

So long as so many people hate Britannia,

I can't stop the malice that
will be directed at Nunnally.

It would have been too dangerous.

That's right. I'll trust him.
All I can do is trust Suzaku.

I have to trust Suzaku.

THE TASTE OF HUMILIATION
