Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture was originally subtitled Z of the Recapture. Comic Natalie reported that the title was changed in light of world affairs (the “Z” symbol was used by Russia during its invasion of Ukraine).
The Code Geass franchise began with Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, which aired from 2006 to 2008 for two seasons. After the end of the original series, the franchise inspired several OVAs, a recap film series with different continuity, a sequel to the recaps titled Code Geass Lelouch of the Re;surrection, and the Code Geass: Akito the Exiled spin-off series. The franchise has also inspired numerous light novels, manga, and video games.

Hulu is streaming Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture, and describes the story as:
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.
