He promises his friend Suzaku that he will free Japan from the tyrannical machinations.
He is enrolled at Ashford Academy and strategizes his way for overthrowing the tyranny. A mysterious girl called C.C. saves him from an impending terrorist attack and gives his Geass or the “Power of Kings.” It gives Lelouch the ability to command anyone he wants. After realizing the power bestowed upon him, Lelouch takes on a deadly journey as he masks himself as Zero to fulfill his vengeance against the Britannian Empire. However, there are also specific personal battles he fights to save himself against the corrupting element of his new-gained power. He forms a radical ‘Black Knights’ group to free his empire.
As Lelouch goes deeper into his journey, various obstacles arise which deflect him or disembarks him away from making his win. He is put against Suzaku and his half-sibling along the way, and he tries to keep up the war against the empire.
