Area 11, or Japan, is occupied by the superpower, the Holy Britannian Empire. Two boys live there: Mario Diesel and Lelouch Lamperouge. While Japanese people are oppressed as Elevens, Mario lives his school life hiding the fact that he is half Britannian and half Japanese. Lelouch lives his days as the vice president of the school's student council, hiding his true identity as the prince of Britannia. The destinies of these two people who never crossed paths intersect due to a certain incident, and a story of revenge and rebellion begins.

On August 10th of the year 2010 the Holy Empire of Britannia began a campaign of conquest, its sights set on Japan. Operations were completed in one month thanks to Britannia's deployment of new mobile humanoid armor vehicles dubbed Knightmare Frames. Japan's rights and identity were stripped away, the once proud nation now referred to as Area 11. Its citizens, Elevens, are forced to scratch out a living while the Britannian aristocracy lives comfortably within their settlements. Pockets of resistance appear throughout Area 11, working towards independence for Japan. 
 Lelouch, an exiled Imperial Prince of Britannia posing as a student, finds himself in the heart of the ongoing conflict for the island nation. Through a chance meeting with a mysterious girl named C.C., Lelouch gains his Geass, the power of the king. Now endowed with absolute dominance over any person, Lelouch may finally realize his goal of bringing down Britannia from within!
