Despite the years that have passed since the release of the Code Geass anime series, its revolutionary spirit continues to thrive. At a special event in Japan, the first trailer and a new visual were unveiled for the highly anticipated Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture.

The film had previously been announced in 2020 under the name Code Geass Z of the Recapture. The staff members involved in its production have been revealed, with Yoshimitsu Oohashi serving as director, Noboru Kimura serving as scriptwriter, and CLAMP handling character development. Takashiro Kimura and Hidekazu Shimamura are responsible for the character designs, while MIYAVI performs the opening song titled “Running In My Head”.

The anime portrays a “story of recapture” between two brothers, Rose (Kohei Amasaki) and Ash (Shin Furukawa). The movie’s synopsis is as follows:

“The year is 2017 of the Imperial calendar and parts of the world are under the control of the Holy Britannian Empire. Lelouch Lamperouge, an exiled Britannian prince, encounters a strange girl known as C.C., who gifts him with a great and terrible power. The Geass. With this powerful ability, Lelouch can get anyone to do as he wills. But the power of Geass: is it a blessing…or a curse?”

Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture movie has a total of four parts and will premiere in Japan starting May 2024.
