Lelouch vi Britannia is the protagonist of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, the Sunrise anime that aired from 2006, and his Geass is a power of absolute obedience granted through eye contact. The command line became shorthand for his entire character: an exiled prince bending wills with a stare. As Code Geass clips spread across YouTube edits, AMVs and meme pages, the line got ripped as a standalone soundbite for power-trip jokes. It now sits on soundboards next to other anime power staples like the Mangekyo Sharingan and Za Warudo time stop, all filed under dramatic anime moments.
