Island of the Gods (episode)

Island of the Gods (神々の島) is the nineteenth episode of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.

Summary
The aftermath of the Avalon's arrival inexplicably leaves Lelouch, Euphemia, Kallen, and Suzaku on the mysterious Kaminejima Island. Suzaku encounters Kallen, and learns she is a member of the Black Knights and the pilot of the Guren Mk-II, while Euphemia and Zero encounter each other and Euphemia confirms her suspicions that he is Lelouch. Meanwhile, Schneizel, Lloyd, and Cécile Croomy survey the island's ancient ruins. When Lelouch, Kallen, Suzaku, and Euphemia meet, a symbol of Geass appears in the ground and they suddenly fall into the ruins. Lelouch and Kallen steal the prototype Knightmare Frame Gawain and escape. Suzaku is detained for insubordination, as it is revealed that Lelouch used Geass on Suzaku, giving him the command to "live." Elsewhere, the exiled Japanese government from seven years ago launches a full-scale assault on Kyūshū with the help of the Chinese Federation.

 * "And what of your future then? To live the life of a conqueror's subjugated lap dog, an honorary Britannian. Or to be the knight of a third princess? Ha! The name of Genbu Kururugi, the last samurai, weeps. I am not you. The world is wrong and I'm tryng to change it. If I don't then my brother's death will have been for nothing. That's my reason for fighting. And, I'll do whatever it takes to win." -Kallen

Trivia

 * This episode bears a number of similarities to the twenty-forth episode of Gundam SEED. Most notably, Kallen being taken down by Suzaku and being his captive for the rest of the episode, while having her top exposed, is extremely similar to the way Athrun held Cagalli captive. In addition the first meeting between Kallen and Suzaku is almost exactly like Athrun and Cagalli.
