コードギアス 亡国のアキト 第１章「翼竜は舞い降りた」
Synopsis
In 2017, the Holy Britannian Empire is steadily taking over Europe. To counter the empire's overwhelming military strength while minimizing their own losses, the European army forms a specialized squad called Wyvern, also designated W-0, made up of former Japanese citizens—people the Britannians refer to as "Elevens." These youths, recruited from destitute circumstances, pilot Knightmare Frames, the humanoid battle machines, on high-risk missions in exchange for a chance at recognition. When a European regiment becomes trapped and surrounded by enemy forces, Wyvern is deployed for a rescue operation. Among the pilots chosen for the extraction is Lieutenant Akito Hyuuga, known as "Hannibal's Ghost" for his exceptional combat skill. But the mission turns into a suicide charge when the commanding officer triggers the self-destruct sequence on the Knightmares, aiming to deal massive damage to the Britannian troops. In the aftermath of the devastation, Akito emerges as the only one left alive.
