In exchange for Japan's independence, the Black Knights agree to betray Lelouch. Lelouch is prepared to accept death, until Rolo, piloting the Shinkirō, rescues Lelouch and escapes the combined forces of the Black Knights and the Britannians.

Using his Geass to its full potential, Lelouch takes over much of the Britannian military forces on the island.

They reveal their intention and initiate Ragnarök and Lelouch almost reconciles with them, but changes his mind upon realizing the world the Emperor desires has no future.

Schneizel, backed by the Black Knights and the remaining Knights of the Round, clashes with Lelouch in the skies above Mount Fuji.

However, Lelouch manages to outsmart Schneizel and uses his Geass to force him into obedience. Suzaku and Gino battle outside the fortress, with Gino unable to hold out against him. Using his last attack, Gino takes out the Damocles barrier, allowing Kallen to replace him in the sortie. Meanwhile, Lelouch confronts Nunnally, who reveals she has regained her sight.
25	"Re;" "Re;"	Noriaki Akitaya	Ichirō Ōkouchi	September 28, 2008	June 6, 2009

Lelouch uses his Geass to force Nunnally to give up the key of Damocles. With the fortress under his control, Lelouch unites the world under his tyrannical rule. Two months later, Lelouch prepares to oversee the public execution of the leaders of the U.F.N. and the Black Knights, until Suzaku, believed to be dead and now disguised as Zero, interrupts and kills Lelouch as he had ordered him to. As Lelouch is dying, a flashback to a conversation between Suzaku and Lelouch reveals his main plan. By directing the hatred of the world onto himself, Lelouch's death would serve to facilitate peace. He tells Suzaku that he must live as Zero now, even over his personal happiness; nobody must know Zero as anything else. Smiling, he repeats his earlier declaration that he destroys the world and creates it anew as a better place. With the fact that he has finally fulfilled his dream, to make the world a better place for Nunally, Lelouch passes away with a smile on his face. The aftermath is narrated by Kallen, who ends up forgiving Lelouch and explains how the world is much better off with all the energy being focused on reconstruction. In the back of a cart driven by an person whose face remains hidden, (it is Lelouch he took charles's code and he too has become immortal) a short monologue is then given by C.C about how Geass might not isolate people after all, ending with this question to be rhetorically asked to Lelouch.
