As the Black Knights regroup after their latest mission, Lelouch faces the heaviest burden of leadership yet — revealing his true identity. While tensions rise among allies and former enemies alike, Lelouch prepares to confront the organization he built under a mask. Joined by C.C., Kallen, Suzaku, and even former Britannian nobles like Cornelia and Guilford, the fragile alliance reaches a breaking point.
Inside the Black Knights’ headquarters, the truth finally emerges: Zero is none other than Lelouch vi Britannia, the exiled prince of the Empire they’ve fought against. Shock, anger, and betrayal ripple through the room as Tamaki lashes out and Kallen steps in to defend the man she trusts. Lelouch lays bare his past — the death of his mother, Nunnally’s suffering, and the Geass that granted him absolute command — declaring he has never used it on any of them.
As silence falls, faith is tested. Will the Black Knights still follow the prince who became their revolutionary leader?
With Kallen’s quiet support and A.A.’s innocence softening the room, Ohgi speaks for the group — their loyalty remains. Lelouch’s next mission begins: to reunite with Nunnally and bring Jeremiah into the cause. The mask of Zero may be gone, but the rebellion is far from over.
