They resist the Empire as the 'black prince' and the 'white knight.' Into this situation step an ambitious high school student named Lelouch and his childhood friend Suzaku, who has a strong sense of justice. The Empire is in the process of conquering the entire planet through overwhelming military force owing to its use of humanoid robots known as Knightmare Frames, and Japan is a colony known as Area 11. The setting for this drama, which began airing in October, is Japan under the occupation of the Holy Britannia Empire.
