What is Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture about?
Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture (originally announced as Z of the Recapture) is the latest project of the popular mecha anime franchise. Produced by Sunrise, the anime focuses on the titular character Rozé and his brother, Ash. Set in the world created by Goro Taniguchi and Ichiro Okouchi, the story will follow the mercenary pair of new characters on an all-new action-packed adventure full of mecha battles.
The mercenary brothers are from what was once Hokkaido in Year 7 of the Kowa era. Rozé is the younger brother with a knack for leadership and gathering intelligence; and Asha is the elder brother with high athletic and Knightmare piloting skills. Rozé is set to embark on a quest to capture Empress Sakuya from the clutches of the Neo Britannian Empire. At this point, it's still unclear how the story of the four-part anime film will tie to the most recent releases of the Code Geass franchise.
Hulu provided an official description for Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture:
Year Seven of the Kowa Period, in the former Hokkaido Block occupied by the Neo-Britannian Empire, live mercenary brothers known as the Nameless Mercenaries. The eldest, Ash, has excellent athletic ability and advanced Knightmare Frame controlling skills, while the youngest, Rozé, is clear headed and oversees intel gathering and devising strategies. Due to an impregnable wall of energy called the Situmpe Wall, for four years the 100th emperor who stopped the Black Knights’ liberation plan, Callis al Britannia, has been trying to plunge the world into chaos once again with the help of his servant, Norland, and his Einberg Knights. Upon receiving a request, Rozé and Ash, along with the Seven Shining Stars resistance group confront the Empire to recapture Princess Sakuya.
