Code Geass (Anime) - TV Tropes? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil, or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil? The British- controlled America evolved into the Holy Britannian Empire, which eventually gained control of over a third of the world. Seven years before the beginning of the show's main story, Britannia launched an invasion of Japan to secure that country's stocks of a rare mineral that makes a new power source possible. Britannia's army of powerful Humongous Mecha—the . After the victory, Britannia stripped Japan of its autonomy, its national identity, and even its name. The Empire refers to conquered countries by a numerical designation based on when it conquered the territory; in this case, Japan became . Suzaku is a career soldier of Japanese origin who hates bloodshed; having through the ranks of the Britannian military, he hopes to gain enough authority to change the system from within and return a number of once- lost rights back to Area 1. Lelouch is an exiled Britannian prince in hiding; he wishes to crush Britannia from the outside to both avenge his assassinated mother and create a safe future for his disabled sister, but he has become disillusioned by the inability to act without reprisal from Britannia's police and military forces. All of this changes when Lelouch encounters a Mysterious Waif called C. C. She offers Lelouch a Faustian deal (which he accepts) that grants him .

Code Geass began airing in October 2. As the brainchild of Goro Taniguchi and Ichiro Okouchi (responsible for the anime adaption of Planetes), Geass brought their style and flair for the dramatic to the Real Robot Genre. The series also received a good bit of early word- of- mouth when CLAMP was announced as the show's character designers. The show's second season, Code Geass R2, aired on Japanese television from April to September 2. The reception to R2 was.. Critically, it was still well received, and won a number of awards. Some fans viewed certain scenes as distilled awesome or charminglyexaggerated, while others viewed them through a more cynical light; these clashes of opinion resulted in everyone creating tons of memes. Bandai Entertainment originally licensed both seasons of Geass and the first three manga in America until its closure in 2. The show also ran in its entirety on . FUNimation rescued the license (and grabbed the license for Code Geass: Akito the Exiled, to boot) in 2. DVD and Blu- Ray on October 4, 2. It will also be up on for streaming on thier site with the first four episodes on August 2. On November 2. 7, 2.

For side stories, spin- offs, and various other adaptations related to this anime, see the Franchise page. Milly being part of the (former) noble family Ashford (as in Ashford Academy) does give at least some reasoning behind it. And the fact that she promised a kiss from a student council member, and all the student council members are bishonen and bishoujo. Then again, her last act as student council president was to organize an event where a person snatching another's hat would designate those two as an official couple .. Counts doubly for Schneizel, which is not only not a name but manages to sound like a German foodstuff. Note that if the name sounds really weird, there's a strong chance the character is a child of Emperor Charles. Affably Evil: Gino. Aggressive Negotiations: Suzaku and Lelouch to the UFN. She has a guy pinned to a wall by his throat. With one foot. Airborne Aircraft Carrier: The Avalon, the Emperor's Great Britannia, the Ikaruga (which is submersible as well), and several other flying airships which are either passenger transports or cargo ships. Airstrip One: All the conquered territories of the Holy Britannian Empire. Japan is now . He snaps out of it just long enough to see what he was forced to do. The Alliance: The United Federation of Nations, the group that forms from the remnants of the EU and the Chinese Federation to oppose the Britannian Empire. All Nations Are Superpowers: The world of Code Geass is divided between the Holy Britannian Empire, the European Union and the Chinese Federation. Neutral nations like Japan tends to be conquered by the Britannians. All There in the Stinger: One of the most well- known examples in anime, in which the final episode's Stinger suggests that perhaps Lelouch may be Not Quite Dead. There are Word of God statements which only serve to reiterate that he was killed, but they do not address whether he is truly and finally dead. Alternate History: And it can get pretty out there. For example, The American Revolution failed because Benjamin Franklin sided with Great Britain. Then Napoleon Bonaparte conquered Europe, including England, so Britannia rebuilt its empire on the other side of the Atlantic. It is indicated that such changes are due specifically to the presence of Geass. In addition, the existence of Sakuradite can be used to Hand Wave some of the technology and history changes. The series is even taking place in an alternate history; if you look up the information about the timeline of. Code Geass, you'll see that it takes place in what would be the 1. That's right, they got flip- phones about half a century earlier than we did. The waters are muddied further with the implication that the current Britannian regime is very fond of historical revisionism.. Given a Shout- Out in the picture drama Nunnally in Wonderland, portraying Kanon as the Red Queen to Schneizel's Red King. Lelouch can be very fabulous at times. Gino leans towards Keet. Rolo's devotion can seem .. Nina Einstein, meanwhile, shares her name and in some ways, historical role with the real life Albert Einstein, as well as having stereotypically Jewish features (light skin, dark, curly hair, waifish figure, etc.) and personality. Amnesiac Lover: Villetta Nu, in a way. She ends up loving Ohgi because of her amnesia rather than in spite of it. Amnesiacs Are Innocent: C. While in a particularly bad mood Lelouch Geasses one man to bark like a dog and another to dance like an idiot. It sounds funny but then you realize they'll be doing exactly that until they die, unless they get un- geassed or have a geass canceller hit them which removes it. Anime Hair: Not every last character, but a fair few. Sometimes taken to such an extreme it even gets lampshaded in the DVD Commentary. Anti- Magic: Jeremia's (resp. Orange- kun's) Geass Canceler. It does, as the name says, cancel the effects of Geass on himself and others. Anyone Can Die: Perhaps less so than in other series, but several important characters still experience this throughout both seasons. Arc Words: Armor- Piercing Question: When Marianne tries to justify her and Charles sending Lelouch and Nunnally to Japan, Lelouch responds with a harsh . Then again, this is all Alternate History. Artistic License: The way chess is portrayed makes nearly no sense according to the rules, but serves as a metaphor for how Lelouch and his opponents think. One of the more Egregious examples is when Schneizel tests Zero during a chess game by moving his own king deliberately into check, forcing Lelouch to actually move away from the free win because his pride won't allow him to accept victory on those terms. Lelouch should have simply pointed out that under the rules of chess you are literally not allowed to deliberately check your own king and forced Schneizel to take the move back and make a legal one instead. You can't remove and replace contact lenses that easily. But it looks awesome, and besides, Lelouch is the type who would practice that until he got it right. Artistic License . No geological layers at all. Though considering the forces involved, it can be imagined that an uniform crust would have melted on the sides of the crater, consisting of all the matter vaporized in the explosion. Assimilation Plot: What the Ragnarok Connection, the Emperor's and Marianne's ultimate plan, aimed to achieve. It's pretty similar to Neon Genesis Evangelion's Instrumentality, but with a different set of symbols. Authority Equals Asskicking: Several examples — Played straight with the Britannian Emperor, Cornelia, Guilford, and the Knights of the Round. Marianne, Lelouch and Nunnally's mother, is also implied to be one, as she was highly respected amongst many of the Britannians. On the Black Knights side, Kallen, Tohdoh, the Four Holy Swords, Xingke, Gottwald/Orange after his Heel. Refreshingly averted with Zero himself. He is a skilled strategist and can turn the tide of battles, but does poorly when he's facing the enemy head- on, or trying to get away from them without some kind of help. Awesome Mc Coolname: Several. Relates to Aerith and Bob. Awesome Momentof Crowning: ALL HAIL LELOUCH! Babies Ever After: Ohgi and Villeta. And a wedding with a wedding with many characters attending.
