Rai is a space opera that fuses feudal Chinese and Japanese customs with vast galaxy spanning empires and space-going societies. The story follows the life and times of the samurai Rai, and the quest of several spacefaring factions for control of territory and, of course, the Empire.

Suzaku Kururugi, a Britannian soldier, is shot for disobeying an order to execute his friend and accused terrorist, Lelouch Lamperouge. Fortunately, he survives the attempted execution, finding himself in the Empire's research division when he comes to. It turns out that Suzaku has been chosen as the primary test candidate for the Lancelot, a powerful new combat mech that exponentially increases its user's physical prowess.


Presented with a chance to change the world for the better, he agrees to become the first pilot of the Lancelot. Code Geass: Hankou no Suzaku follows one young man's desperate struggle to protect those dearest to him and defeat Britannia's greatest threat to peace: the cunning, self-proclaimed vigilante Zero.

Code Geass: Hankou no Suzaku has been published in English as Code Geass: Suzaku of the Counterattack by Bandai Entertainment from January 6, 2009 to May 5, 2009.

"Geass" is a supernatural ability bestowed upon people who are worthy of its use. Its exact effect depends on its user's desires, but those who command it wield devastating power.


In the far away land of Area 11, formerly known as Japan, the astute 17-year-old student Lelouch Lamperouge is granted his own Geass by the mysterious woman C.C., which gives him the absolute obedience of those it is used upon. With this, Lelouch vows to destroy the only world superpower—the Holy Britannian Empire—under the guise of the revolutionary freedom-fighter Zero, to exact vengeance on those who ruined him and his family.

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch was published in English as Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion by Bandai Entertainment from November 4, 2008 to February 23, 2010.

In the year 1853, Commodore Mathew Perry—at the behest of the Holy Britannian Empire—demands the Tokugawa Shogun open Japan's borders to the world. The Shogun refuses, so Perry uses his supernatural power of absolute obedience known as "Geass" to force compliance. Foreign nations have since exploited Japan, redesignated the Britannian colony of Area 11.


However, the terrorist organization known as the Black Revolution works to free Japan from Britannia's oppressive rule. Spearheading this endeavor is Lelouch Lamperouge, a boy who leads a double life as a Britannian commander and the leader of the Black Revolution under the alter ego Zero.


With robust forces, Lelouch secures victory after victory against the Britannians. But the appearance of a powerful, seventh generation Knightmare piloted by his best friend Suzaku Kururugi threatens to end his great revolution.

Bakumatsu Ibunroku: Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch takes many events from Japan's modern history (1850 onwards) as inspiration for its context and setting. Primarily, many references are made to the Perry Expedition and Meiji Restoration (Meiji Revolution) through some characters and themes.
