<p>Everyone who watched <em>Code Geass</em> heard this phrase, in both the dubbed version and original Japanese version.</p>

<p>My question is: Why, in the original Japanese version of <em>Code Geass</em>, does Lelouch speak in English when he uses his Geass? </p>

Uh, I'm pretty sure that Lelouch never says "Lelouch vi Brittania commands you" in English in the Japanese version. His typical line when issuing a geass is 「ルルーシュ・ヴィ・ブリタニアが命じる」 _Lelouch vi Brittania ga meijiru_ (which does mean "Lelouch vi Brittania commands you").

I don't see why this question should receive so many downvotes. *ga meijiru* does sound like *commands you* spoken in a Japanese accent.

Everyone who watched *Code Geass* heard this phrase, in both the dubbed version and original Japanese version.

My question is: Why, in the original Japanese version of *Code Geass*, does Lelouch speak in English when he uses his Geass?
