Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

[Yukimura]

Something else that really bothers me about Suzaku, even with his self-hate he's still willing to accept more and more blood on his hands for the peace of Britannia but he hasn't ever shown any willingness to dirty his hands for the sake of the Japanese. Even if he hates himself for killing people and even if he's ultimately doing what he's doing in an effort to somehow save lives instead of to soothe his conscious by continuing down this road, he still made and supports, the decision to value Britannian domination over Japanese freedom. I can't find a cause to support this notion, considering he is Japanese and I don't remember there being much of anything terribly wrong with life in Japan before it was invaded that would validate a forced change in direction.
