The Taste of Humiliation (episode)

The Taste of Humiliation is the seventeenth episode of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2.

Summary
The battle for Japan gets underway, and Luciano and Bismark decimate the Black Knights, with only Li Xingke to keep them at bay. Suzaku and Lelouch meet to discuss Nunnally and after some initial animosity, Lelouch manages to win Suzaku over by agreeing to stop the war. However, Schneizel interrupts and has his personal guard arrest Lelouch, making him believe Suzaku has betrayed him. Schneizel and Lelouch have a private chat, until Lelouch is rescued by Guilford, who is under the influence of Lelouch's Geass. Using the G Trains, Lelouch shuts down the Tokyo Settlement; at the same time, his reinforcements emerge from the ocean, ready to take advantage of the opportunity. Meanwhile the Emperor, accompanied by Monica Kruszewski (Knight of Twelve), goes to Kaminejima Island in Area 11 to prepare for Ragnarök.
