The first part of Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture anime has been released in Japanese theaters this past week.

Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture is the latest title from the famous Code Geass series from 2006, and is set about five years since the events of the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection occurred, in Kowa 7.

The story centers on Rozé, the protagonists, all of who together with Ash, a seasoned Knightmare pilot, lead a mercenary group trying to liberate Hokkaido from hardliners who did not accept the dissolution of the Holy Britannian Empire and try to reconquer Japan again.

The Black Knights are having a hard time to retake Hokkaido. In addition, Empress Sakuya was held hostage by the Neo-Britannian Empire and Rozé must save her. But things as they say, get complicated from here.

In addition, a new trailer for Part 2 for Rozé of the Recapture was released, plus a new Knightmare mech art for Rozé. Here’s the new trailer:

Part 2 will be screened on June 7, Part 3 on July 5, and the final part on August 4. The series will be released later exclusively on Disney Plus as a 12-episode series.

Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture is the brainwork of franchise creator Goro Taniguchi and Ichiro Oukuchi, and is directed by Yoshimitsu Ohashi. CLAMP returns as character designers together with Takahiro Kimura and Hidekazu Shimamura.
