Code Geass is a Japanese mecha anime series that follows the story of Lelouch Lamperouge, a high school student who gains the power of Geass, which allows him to command anyone to do his bidding. The series is set in an alternate timeline where the Holy Britannian Empire rules over most of the world, including Japan, now known as Area 11. Lelouch, who is actually the exiled prince of Britannia, uses his new power to lead a rebellion against the empire and achieve his ultimate goal of creating a better world for his sister.

In Code Geass season 2 episode 5, titled "Knight of Rounds," Lelouch sets his sights on the Round Table, a group of twelve elite knights who serve as advisors to the emperor of Britannia. Having already eliminated one of the knights, he now seeks to take out another one, Bismarck Waldstein, who is known as the Knight of One and is the strongest of all the knights. To do this, Lelouch devises a plan that involves tricking the other knights into attacking Waldstein, while he and his allies make their move from a hidden location.

Meanwhile, back at Ashford Academy, Lelouch's cover identity, Shirley Fenette, is set to participate in a school festival. However, Shirley is still struggling with her memories, which were erased by Lelouch's Geass in a previous episode. As the festival gets underway, Shirley begins to have flashbacks and becomes increasingly agitated. To make matters worse, she encounters Rolo, one of Lelouch's allies who is actually a spy for their enemies. Rolo tries to keep Shirley from learning the truth about Lelouch, but things quickly spiral out of control.

As Lelouch's plan against Waldstein unfolds, he faces unexpected obstacles, including a sudden change in the Round Table's leadership. Nevertheless, he manages to stay ahead of the curve and ultimately succeeds in his mission. However, the aftermath of his victory leaves him with even more challenges to overcome, as he struggles to balance his desire for revenge with his hope for a better future.

Overall, Code Geass season 2 episode 5 is a thrilling addition to the series, filled with action, drama, and suspense. It showcases the complex personalities and motivations of both the main characters and their enemies, as well as the intricate political rivalries that drive the plot forward. The episode also hints at deeper themes of memory, identity, and morality, which will undoubtedly be explored as the story continues to unfold.
