The franchise has inspired two anime seasons, three compilation movies, a spin-off sequel movie Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection movie, multiple OVAs, games and manga adaptations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story takes place in a fantasy world where Japan has been invaded and conquered by the Britannian Empire. Japan is now known as Area 11 and its citizens known as Elevens. The Britannian Empire takes away Japan&#8217;s autonomous power and imposes its rule through the use of Knightmares. The Empire&#8217;s rule has never faltered, but cracks have begun to show. The story centers around Lelouch vi Britannia, who is able to control anyone to do what he says after obtaining the mysterious power of the &#8220;Geass&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teruki Goto, originally a musician, who also runs as a candidate in various Japanese elections, cosplayed as ZERO aka Lelouch Lamperouge from Code geass in his latest campaign poster for Tokyo governor election.
