Ep 11. The Power of Wills

In Code Geass season 2 episode 11, titled "The Power of Wills," the Black Knights continue their rebellion against the Holy Britannian Empire, despite the loss of their leader, Zero. Without a clear direction, the Black Knights struggle to maintain their unity and fight back against Britannia's overwhelming military might.

Lelouch, the former Zero, is still presumed dead by his former followers and his sister Nunnally, who now serves as the governor of Area 11 under Britannian control. However, Lelouch has returned and is secretly working behind the scenes to regain his status as the leader of the Black Knights and exact revenge on those who have wronged him and his loved ones.

Meanwhile, a new player enters the game as Schneizel el Britannia, the second prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, arrives in Area 11 with a proposal for Nunnally. Schneizel offers to establish a special zone in Area 11 where Elevens (the native population) can live without fear of discrimination or oppression, as long as they renounce their citizenship and pledge loyalty to the Empire.

Nunnally, who has always believed in peaceful coexistence between Elevens and Britannians, is tempted by Schneizel's offer but hesitates to betray her ideals and the trust of her people. Lelouch, however, sees an opportunity to infiltrate Schneizel's plans and use them to his advantage.

As the Black Knights plan their next move, they are confronted by the Knight of One, Bismarck Waldstein, one of the strongest and most loyal knights of the Britannian Empire. Bismarck challenges the Black Knights to a one-on-one duel, with the fate of their rebellion on the line.

Shocked by Bismarck's audacity and power, the Black Knights scramble to find a way to defeat him. With Lelouch's guidance and strategy, they manage to hold their own against Bismarck, but at a heavy cost. The battle reveals the true power of wills, as each character's motivations and beliefs are put to the test.

In the end, the Black Knights emerge victorious but at a steep price. Lelouch's hidden agenda becomes clearer, and the stakes of the rebellion are raised higher than ever before. The episode ends on a shocking twist that sets the stage for the final arc of the series.
