‘Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture’ release date, trailer, cast, and more

Nothing compares to the feeling of a classic anime making a reappearance. This has happened with shows like Bleach and Black Butler throughout the years, and now, a nostalgic favorite has joined them. Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture, first revealed in December 2020, has brought back the mecha chaos and political intrigue that made it one of the best in the genre in the first place. 

This four-part film, a follow-up to Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection, is set years after Lelouch made his ultimate sacrifice. Specifically, it centers on two mercenary brothers named Ash and Rozé, who are on a rescue mission to save the daughter of a deceased lord of Hokkaido. 

We are already halfway through Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture, with part 3 set to be released soon. A new trailer and poster have been released, and following the previous two epic releases, there’s a whole lot more in store.
