Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Opening Themes

OP 1Season 1 Part 1

"COLORS"

by FLOW

"Kaidoku Funou"

by Jinn

About the artist: Jinn is a Japanese rock band whose second Code Geass opening captured the series' increasing moral complexity with a harder, more urgent sound.

OP 3Season 2 Part 1

"O2"

by Orange Range

About the artist: Orange Range returned to anime music with a more measured, introspective track that captured R2's darker early tone.
Fan reception:: Considered the most emotionally resonant Code Geass opening. The muted colour palette and slower pacing foreshadowed the season's sacrifices.

"Yuukyou Seishunka"

by Ali Project

About the artist: Ali Project is a Japanese gothic-folk duo known for theatrical, baroque vocal performances. Their Code Geass ending gave the series its most distinctive sonic identity.

"Wishing Song"

by Hitomi Kuroishi

About the artist: Hitomi Kuroishi composed much of Code Geass's score and performed the season's most poignant ending — a quiet lament that recurs at the series' most devastating moments.
