RESISTANCE SOLDIER
While it might be true that Lelouch's death gave the world a chance to start anew...
RESISTANCE SOLDIER
Zero is still at the center of the new world order!
RESISTANCE SOLDIER
He murdered Colonel Kusakabe, who was only trying to free Japan,
when he could have united with us!

RESISTANCE SOLDIER
As a result, we lost Major Katase — and were forced underground, where we've been hiding ever since.
But that all ends today.
RESISTANCE SOLDIER
Thanks to this braconidae, our names will go down in history!

As we enter Kouwa 21, the first post-war education system reform is...

Topic: Kouwa 2: The First Post-War Education Reform
ASAHINA
Man, it's only been like six months, but we're already in the second year of the Kouwa era2.
I don't think it's totally hit me yet. You know?
TAMAKI
I feel you, but...
I could get used to this.
We've all got the chance to really live now!
<Ouch, ouch—>
TV BROADCAST (MILLY)
And at the same time, reconstruction projects are being carried out one after the other to heal the remaining scars from the war.
TAMAKI
We quit the Black Knights, sure, but you can't just be aimless, you gotta live a little, man!
Like me!
ASAHINA
Hmph.
I live plenty, I'm a musician and I play tennis... I'm keeping busy!

TAMAKI
Kinda sounds like you're just messing around, but...
Here you go, our breakfast special. Sorry 'bout the wait.
ASAHINA

Oh, hey!
ASAHINA
It's that girl Villetta used to teach.

Today, the United Federation of Nations' Supreme Council will hold its meeting at this venue.
The agenda is said to mainly revolve around reconstruction efforts and infrastructure development—

ASAHINA
The UFN Supreme Council, huh...?
Funny, to think we used to be part of all that.
TAMAKI
Sure is!
But we're all still doin' our part for peace, man.
Including my best friend, Zero!

CODE GEASS
Lelouch of the Re;surrection
ZERO
You're wrong.

SCHNEIZEL
No, you see,
it's precisely because of the current situation that Zero needs a machine worthy of all he represents.
ZERO
....It's not a need.
SCHNEIZEL
Look. However much progress the world as a whole makes towards peace, the occasional conflict will always sprout up.
<shing>
In order to prevent that, it is imperative that you project strength — the same strength that defeated the villainous Emperor, Lelouch.

ZERO
...
KAGUYA
You must see he's right.
No matter how many of the people in the world have come to want peace...
...small seeds of conflict remain.
KAGUYA
Our world has been at war for so long...
You can't expect to simply extinguish all conflict.
Besides, wherever there are individuals living their lives, some conflict will be inevitable.
LIHUA
And perhaps it is only right for Zero, the hero who brought about this peace, to have the power to enforce it by putting an end to these conflicts...

ZERO
I disagree.
If my Black Knights were given undue military power, that would only frighten the public,
creating more conflict.
We exist only to preserve world peace.
ZERO
To that end, I am entrusting surveillance of the Black Knights to the Glinda Knights.

I asked something of you today, as my accomplice4.
SUZAKU
Right, about your scheduled humanitarian visit to Spain next month...?
SUZAKU
The anti-Britannian sentiment in Spain runs deep, and has ever since Marrybell's reign.5
I can't promise it would be safe there yet.
NUNNALLY
Yes.
But that's why I'm making this request of you, Suzaku... you, on whom the same punishment was inflicted.
SUZAKU
...

NUNNALLY
I know I've only been an honorary advisor to the World Humanitarian Agency for a month...
...and that I was only given the position for appearances' sake...
but I have to do as much as I can.
NUNNALLY
I've been meaning to apologize. I know it was selfish of me to keep you by my side.
And yet...
SFX
<clack>
SUZAKU
No, Nunnally, you were right.
All around the world, there are still so many scars from the war.
What we really need are more people, offering their support.

SUZAKU
If this is what you have to do, and it means going to Spain to provide support...
...then please, make full use of my power.
NUNNALLY
Thank you.
In that case...

Volume 4 on sale July 10th!!
1 Prior to the Zero Requiem, Britannia imposed its own Imperial Calendar on Japan (2018 a.t.b., for Ascension Throne Britannia). As part of reclaiming its independence, Japan has apparently returned to using nengou, a particular system of era names. In this case, Kouwa, an era of Light and Harmony.↩
2 And, assuming that the normal nengou convention was followed, Kouwa 1 would have begun on the day of Lelouch's death in 2018 a.t.b., so what Asahina is saying here makes perfect sense. (And explains why no one seems any older.)
3 Suzaku's earlier dialogue was all a somewhat passable imitation of Lelouch's "Zero" voice, but here he's already reverted to his own speech patterns.↩
4 This is the same 'accomplice' that C.C. always used with Lelouch.↩
5 Referring to the events of Oz the Reflection.↩
