Lelouch Vi Brittania commands you...

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?

    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"). – senshin Mar 12 '14 at 17:57

    Just like @senshin said, he speaks normal japanese there. No english involved at all. – Dimitri mx Mar 12 '14 at 17:58

    I don't see why this question should receive so many downvotes. *ga meijiru* does sound like *commands you* spoken in a Japanese accent. – Gao Feb 17 '15 at 18:14

Your question is why does he speak English in the Japanese version? Well, he does not.

The key sentence he says is

Lelouch Vi Britannia ga meijiru: senshin's comment states it's "ga" and not "ha"

Which means "Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you", in Japanese.
