Lore & Background
The Geass, also known as the 'Power of Kings' (王の力, Ō no Chikara), allows its user to command anyone to do whatever they want, including bending their will to live, fight, or die for them. This power can affect an individual just once and only through direct eye contact. The concept for the Geass may have been inspired by the Irish and Welsh legends of 'Geas' or 'Geis'—a compulsion laid on someone to do or not do something. While the geas itself does not lie on any spectrum, the benefits or actions of it may be decidedly benevolent or malevolent. The concept fits into the wider fictional world of the series and its lore of British inspirations.
