Power of Passion is the eleventh episode of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2.

Summary

Back at Ashford Academy, Sayoko Shinozaki poses as Lelouch.

Realizing the Eunuchs are not interested in saving Tianzi, Li Xingke rebels. As the Black Knights hold their ground against the Chinese Federation and Britannian forces, Zero tries to reason with the Eunuchs, who openly admit their treachery. When Xingke tries to shield Tianzi from the fighting, Zero personally enters into the field with his new Shinkirō.

Diethard hacks into the Chinese media network and replays the Eunuchs' deceit, igniting riots across the Chinese Federation. Faced with open rebellion, Schneizel orders a Britannian retreat, and Xingke eliminates the Eunuchs and rescues his comrades. However, Kallen and the Guren have been handed over to Britannia. With the Eunuchs dead, Zero forges an alliance with Xingke and Tianzi.

He returns to Ashford Academy, but is surprised to find Anya and Gino enrolled as students.

Quotes

• "The Chinese Federation intends to obliterate the Mausoleum of Eighty-Eight Emperors and us along with it. As for the empress, they want her to die." -Zero
• Xing-ke (in regards to the Empress) and Zero:
  • "I can't save you after all; I can't protect you. For six years, everything I've done has been to fulfill my promise to you... Someone do it! I don't care who, but please - someone save her!" - Li Xingke
  • "Very well...I understand. Wish: granted." - Zero

• Conversation between Zero and the Eunuchs:
  • "The empress is merely a system. There are plenty of others to replace her. So you can't use her as a bargaining chip." -Eunuchs
  • "But you used her to gain noble titles in the Britannian court." - Zero
  • "You have sharp ears don't you? A cheap price to pay for power." - Eunuchs
  • "Cheap? A phony treaty that gives china's land to a foreign nation." - Zero
  • "Land is nothing but dirt after all. Correct, we're Brittannian noblemen now. that's what counts." - Eunuchs
  • "And what about the common people you've sworn to protect?" - Zero
  • "Zero, when you walk down the street do you worry about stepping on the ants? You throw away paper that clings to your bottom don't you? It's the same thing." - Eunuchs

• "I ask this of the Chinese Federation and the Brittanians: If you want to keep fighting are you prepared for the consequences?" - Zero
• "You've finally made it outside the city, but you haven't seen any of the world yet; I will defend you here!" - Li Xingke

• "Zero? He's come to the front line himself?" - Suzaku

• Conversation between Lloyd and Cecile upon seeing the Shinkirō:
  • "Lloyd, do you know what that is?" - Cecile
  • "Yes. We may have lost this one." - Lloyd
• Conversation between Lelouch and C.C. about the Geass Order:
  • "But you're certain they're based in the Chinese Federation. Somewhere within reach?" - Lelouch
  • "Yes, according to V.V. - the one who replaced me as their leader. But this is a vast country; even that guy, Rolo, doesn't know where their base is, right? So how are you going to find it?" - C.C.
  • "That's why I took over the Chinese Federation. The flow of goods, power supplies, communications - the Order must leave traces of its existence." - Lelouch
  • "So you're using the power of a whole nation to find them?" - C.C.
  • "As you said: it's a vast country." - Lelouch
