Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, a Japanese Anime is unparallel in terms of its storyline, legendary characters and the power of Geass. The fact of the matter that goes unseen is the level of ideologies blended in the storyline. While they do try to say that colonialism is bad towards the end, they really hit the brick wall in the initial stages in putting forth the concept. The brutal state of colonialism portrayed came at the cost of devastating orientalist views on the natives which renders the text as perfect for postcolonial studies. The paper looks into whether the text can be termed as an Oriental text for such representation, if not what is the reason for such a representation.
