As the battle around the Damocles continues, Nunnally faces Lelouch with her opened eyes, noting that it has been eight years since she has seen the face of her brother, the face of a murderer. Yet she acknowledges that she herself has the same face because she is determined to stop her brother even if Lelouch uses Geass on her. Lelouch acts a bit surprised since he had always wanted to use Geass on Nunnally, but she was able to break Charles's Geass of absolute obedience.

Kallen and Suzaku meet each other outside and begins a duel. At the same time Anya and Jeremiah are fighting each other. Anya destroys Jeremiah's main knightmare and his secondary one comes out and gets in between Mordred's shield before it can finish activating. Jeremiah self destructs and causes major damage to Mordred. Jeremiah jumps out with blade in hand and is about to kill Anya when claims she has no memory. Upon hearing this Jeremiah uses his Geass Canceller on Anya.

In the mean time, Gino struggles to make his Knightmare to run to help Kallen fight Suzaku. As the fight continues, Suzaku's and Kallen's knightmares start to run out of energy. They decide it in one decisive attack Guren's arm goes into the main compartment of Lancelot while Guren only suffer damages like missing limbs. Kallen falls off and is saved by Gino. At the same time, Lancelot explodes.

Back in the Damocles, Lelouch uses the Geass on Nunally to get the FLEIA remote. He expresses his true feelings while Nunally is still controlled. He takes the switch and Nunally returns to her senses. Lelouch turns to leave and Nunally gives chase, only to be stopped by the stairs.

Back outside Kaguya says Suzaku is defeated and ask C.C. to surrender. C.C. says says Kaguya never knew of Zero's identity until recently, but she was able to understand one part of his true nature and says she is a gentle person. Then Lelouch fires a FLEIA. Lelouch then gives a speech to the world saying he is the ruler of Britannia and the rest of the world and announcing his victory in the war.

Two months later, Lelouch holds a parade for himself in Japan. With him are captives which include Kallen, Todou, Schneizel, Nunally, Ohgi, and many others. At the mean time Cornelia, Guilford, and Villeta are seeing what is happening from a building. Then in the middle of the road appears Zero. Zero runs straight towards and Lelouch and the Knightmares open fire, Zero dodges them all and Jeremiah orders them to stop and draws his sword to fight him. Zero jumps over his shoulder and Jeremiah secretly wants him to advance forward. Lelouch draws his gun and Zero draws his sword and knocks the gun away. As Zero readies his blade to pierce through Lelouch's heart. Lelouch smiles as the sword goes near his chest. Kallen realizes that Lelouch had planned his death out.

Zero Requiem is revealed to us at this point as a flashback on a conversation between Suzaku and Lelouch. Suzaku is given Zero's mask and is to kill Lelouch disguised as Zero. Lelouch also mentions to Suzaku that Geass is like wishes because they both need the assistance of others. C.C. is seen in a church praying for Lelouch and quotes Lelouch saying, "Only those that are prepared to fire should be fired at". Back to the present, Suzaku as Zero stabs Lelouch. Lelouch tells Suzaku that this is also his punishment because he will forever wear a mask as the defender of justice, eternally sacrifice his happiness for the world, and no longer be known as Kururugi Suzaku. Suzaku accepts the Geass. Suzaku draws his sword out of Lelouch's chest and Lelouch falls down in front on Nunally. As Nunally touches his hand, the plan Zero Requiem is revealed to her. Lelouch gives his final words about him destroying and creating worlds and dies. Cornelia announces Lelouch has died and the crowd goes wild and runs toward Suzaku. Todou now realizes who Zero really is, and Kallen with tears in her eyes claims it's Zero. Nunally breaks down and starts crying on Lelouch's body.

Soon after life returns to normal, Kallen gets up for school and looks at a picture of Lelouch on her billboard. Kallen tells Lelouch in her mind that the world has become a much better place now as much of the war effort has gone to help poverty and hunger, but there are still problems. Nunally and Zero exits a plane together and is greeted by Ohgi. A picture is shown after showing that Ohgi and Villeta has gotten married. Anya and Jeremiah are seen harvesting oranges at a orchard. Damocles has drifted off into space and disintegrates near the sun. A wagon with a wagon driver and C.C. are shown travelling on a road. C.C. talks about the Geass and how it brings solitude, but C.C. continues to say it isn't accurate and asks Lelouch. So in other words Lelouch became immortal and staged his "death". He is the wagon driver with C.C. (That's a plausible guess because she can be either referring to Lelouch's spirit or actual Lelouch.)

Zero Requiem, the end to all hatred and the beginnings of new world. It is the perfect ending for Code Geass R2. I sympathize Nunnally when she discovered the truth behind her brother's plan. It was a very depressing moment, even more than when Rolo and Shirley died. Lelouch would be forever remembered by the people whom he came in contact with and be hated by the world because "[he] destorys...worlds...creates...worlds".

And other most memorable part is where Orange-kun is picking oranges.- Rokou

Amazing series and a amazing ending I must say. The dramatic death of Lelouch was a really touching moment, and Nunally adds on to that when she cries over the loss of her brother and Suzaku crying when he kills his best friend, Lelouch. I loved the part when Lelouch falls down and they put the camera angle in his perspective looking at Nunally as he descends and the camera follows his view. I thought they did a great job on the overall scene. - Ricky
