[TRANSLATION] CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Rebellion Re; (Chapter 4)

Original Scans: courtesy of Comic NewType

NARRATION
2018, Imperial Calendar—
Lelouch vi Britannia, who recently declared himself Emperor of Britannia, has destroyed the very foundation of the former superpower.

It seems as though he intends to put an end to 98 unbroken generations of Britannian history, to reject all of what Britannia has ever done and return it to a blank state, so that he might rebuild it from the ground up.

And that's why the world has been thrown into chaos.

NARRATION
What is Lelouch's ultimate goal?
How will this new Britannia face the rest of the world?
His audience has no way of knowing.

TEXT
For whom will the world—

NARRATION
And for now, they can only watch and wait to see what will befall a world that has been divided in two, between Lelouch's Britannia and everything else.
The world has begun to change.

LLOYD
You think this is all right?

CECILE
Do I think what is all right?

LLOYD
Hmm...

LLOYD
Well, you know...
The way His Highness Schneizel and Imperial Princess Cornelia have disappeared.
This is still more or less the Holy Empire of Britannia, isn't it?

CECILE
You have a point...
Although,
if they realize what Suzaku and the others are doing, then...

LLOYD
I wonder if we've become parts ourselves without even realizing it...
or something like that!

ARTHUR
<yaaawn...>

CECILE
By the way, did you know?

LLOYD
Know what?

CECILE
That His Majesty went to the same school as Suzaku.

LLOYD
Oho~.
With Milly and Nina?

CECILE
Indeed.
Ashford Academy.

LLOYD
Hmm~.
What do you suppose those two used to speak about?

SUZAKU
I never thought I'd see that sign here...

LELOUCH
"Let's talk in the attic..."
Well, it has been a year.

LELOUCH
Whether in the attic of that storehouse or on the roof of the school...
We were too small.
Too small even for that attic...

LELOUCH
Suzaku.
I dare say it won't be long now before the Knights of the Round challenge us.
Your former comrades...
Can you do this?

SUZAKU
Certainly.

LELOUCH
<sit>
Another thing...
Your name will be cursed for.

SUZAKU
It's the same for you, isn't it?
Your name will go down in history — Emperor Lelouch, the man
who destroyed Britannian culture right after taking the throne.

LELOUCH
This is only the beginning.
Soon, I'll spill so much blood...
that the name of the Massacre Princess will fade to mist
until it's been completely erased from the people's memories...

SUZAKU
!
Lelouch, you...

SUZAKU
(That's right — we've both lost something important to us.

Euphemia li Britannia: Lelouch's younger half-sister, the Third Princess of Britannia. Gentle, wise, who sought a world free of discrimination...
Someone important to me.

Our first meeting was... spontaneous.)

SUZAKU
(At first, I had no idea she was royalty.)

EUPHEMIA
Stand down, all of you!
By order of the Third Princess of Britannia,
Euphemia li Britannia!

SUZAKU
(But it was precisely because of her position that she was able teach me something important.)

EUPHEMIA
Seventeen-year-olds should be in school!

SUZAKU
(And it was the same that let her make me her personal knight.)

SUZAKU
(She opened so many doors for someone she knew wanted to die1.)

EUPHEMIA
I order you to love me!
And in return, I will give my love to you!

EUPHEMIA
Suzaku,
I love your stubbornness
and your gentleness
and those sad eyes of yours.

EUPHEMIA
I love your kindness,
and how you're always getting bitten by your cat!
So please, don't hate yourself!

SUZAKU
(That's why I... wanted to become her strength.)

EUPHEMIA
Will you help me?

SUZAKU
Yes, Your Highness.

SUZAKU
(Euphy even went as far as giving up her title as a Britannian princess in order to create a Specially Administrated Zone within the Britannian-controlled Japan with the aim of liberating the Japanese people.

However, Lelouch's out-of-control geass ended everything for her.)

SUZAKU
("Kill all the Japanese."

It was that geass that forced Euphy to take the life of every single Japanese person who had gathered for the Specially Administrated Zone — that gave her the name Massacre Princess.)

SUZAKU
(And—

It was Lelouch's hand... that took her life.)

SUZAKU
(The life of someone that was also important to him...

An irreplaceable life, for me...)

SUZAKU
(Now that I know everything, I understand.

Lelouch is trying to take responsibility for his actions.

And besides, I've also...)


SUZAKU
(...taken an important life.)

SUZAKU
<glare>

LELOUCH
Still, if we want to reach tomorrow, we must first conquer the world...

LELOUCH
Heh...
I can't say it with a straight face.

C.C.
Yet you're both still determined to do this,
aren't you...?

SFX
<stand>

LELOUCH
Yes.
For the sake of the Zero Requiem.

SUZAKU
(That's right. We're going to carry out the Zero Requiem.

Euphy, I wonder... what you would say, if you could see us now.
Would you look at us sadly?

Or would you approve of the road we've chosen to follow?

In either case, we can't let this all be for nothing.

Not if we want to secure a today that will continue on into tomorrow.)

SUZAKU
Yes, Your Majesty!



1 Very rare use of たがる here for a speaker's own desires. I'm assuming it's because Suzaku is talking about Euphy's perception of him.

2 オレ instead of Suzaku's more typical 僕, in just these two sentences.
