[[File:4047139289.jpg|frame| It's a [[Magical Girl]] version of ''[[Code Geass]]''! With evil plushies. And [[Joan of Arc]]. And an even crazier Mao. And [[G Gundam|Master Asia]]. What'd you expect?]]
 
 
''Code Geass: Nightmare Of Nunnally'' is an [[Alternate Universe]] version of the original ''[[Code Geass]]''. The story starts off the same way as the original right up until Lelouch first meets C.C. From there, Lelouch and C.C. are ([[Never Found the Body|presumably]]) killed in a nearby explosion. Nunnally, after hearing news of the explosion, heads over to the area and finds a strange doll with a Geass symbol on it. It speaks to Nunnally telling her that it's a "keepsake from her brother" and convinces Nunnally to make a Geass contract. She does, transforming herself into an [[Action Girl]] and gains the ability to see into the future, along with a [[Katanas Are Just Better|katana wielding]], [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|EVA]] [[Expy]] Knightmare Frame.

=== ''Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally'' contains examples of: ===
* [[Action Girl]]: Nunnally, as well as Alice and the Irregulars. And Anya ( {{spoiler|channeling Marianne}}).
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: The Irregulars.
Line 17:
** And he can stop bullets by '''posing'''!
** In the last parts of the manga, {{spoiler|The Knights of the Round show that they can do the same thing.}}
** Heck, ''C.C.'' is [[Badass]]. {{spoiler|And not only because she ''is'' part of Zero here - she did some action in flashback to the [[Hundred Years' War]].}}
* [[Badass Normal]]: Suzaku. All from above have superpowers. He doesn't need them.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Used a visual cue for {{spoiler|Alice's transformation into Nunnaly's knight.}} In the previous scene she wore her uniform in a cell and emotional wreck. In the next scene she's tall, proud, and wearing the long coat.
* [[The Baroness]]: Cornelia, of course, but also ''Anya''. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/code_geass_nightmare_of_nunnally/v04/c019/4.html Seriously].
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Lelouch {{spoiler|succeeding his father and C.C. as the Demon King.}}
Line 36:
*** Rolo {{spoiler|is not the [[Tyke Bomb]] character from the anime, but an [[Evil Twin]] of Lelouch}}. He also has his canon power {{spoiler|upgraded version: this time he ''really'' freezes time. [[An Ice Person|And everything else for that matter.]] }}
* [[Dead Little Sister]]
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: Took this aspect and ran with it.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Between Nunnally, the Irregulars, a single "season", and long flashbacks, a lot of characters have their parts reduced dramatically. Poor Orange-Kun gets the worst of it, his role consists of getting his shit wrecked by NUNNALLY, than again by NAMELESS MOOKS. That's it.
** Cornellia {{spoiler|only faces superpowered enemies and has to be resqued by Suzaku twice}}. Same for Kallen - {{spoiler|she only wrecks a few mooks, gets outmatched by Nunnaly in the second battle and stalled against zombie mechas in the finale.}}
Line 42:
* [[Evil Twin]]: {{spoiler|'''Rolo''' is Lelouch's in this series. Complete with [[Large Ham|dramatics]] and (in)famous [[Narm|Narmish]] [[Oh Crap]] face.}}
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Mao.
* [[Face Death Withwith Dignity]]: {{spoiler|Charles and Marianne handle being rejected by their child and erased from existence ''far'' better than they did in the anime}}.
** {{spoiler|Probably because they face the end from [[The Messiah]] instead of the [[Magnificent Bastard]], and this time they fully intended to have it BE a choice}}
* [[Fan Disservice]]: We see Nunnally being subjected to a [[Panty Shot]] in a early chapter. It is not portrayed in any sexual sense, considering that Nunnally is a crippled blind 14 old girl. If anything, it ruins the mood of the scene.
Line 51:
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: Even with the [[Fan Disservice]] already mentioned.
* [[Immortality]]
* [[Lady and Knight]]: Nemo claims to be Nunnaly's knight at the end of the first volume, though they fight together. After {{spoiler|Nunnaly breaks their contract and is captured by the Order of Eden Vital}} Alice takes up the mantle and the trop is played straight: Nunnaly as the Bright Lady (good natured, princess etc) and Alice as the Bright Knight (powerful, devoted to the lady, fights for her sake). {{spoiler|At the end of Volume 5, Nunnaly asks Alice to be her official knight and she accepts.}}
* [[Large Ham]]: Lelouch, of course. Also, {{spoiler|his 'twin' Rolo is one, posing magnificiently even as he boasts about his plans to kill Nunnally and Lelouch. Like big brother, like clone.}}
* [[Les Yay]]: {{spoiler|Alice adores Nunnally; and flat out tells her that she loves her in the end. This makes Nunnally change her mind regarding her father and mother's plan.}} There's also the canon [[Les Yay]] that Cornelia felt towards her half-sister Euphie...
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The cast and even the extras suffer FAR less physical and mental damage than the regular Code Geass. Even the villains are significantly more sympathetic and less monstrous. Exceptions are limited to {{spoiler|C.C. and Genbu}}. Also, {{spoiler|the knights of the round are all zombies, but its unknown if they are even the same knights.}}
** {{spoiler|The Knight of One is still called Bismarck Waldstein, even though he really doesn't look it.}}
* [[Living Withwith the Villain]]: Alice and Nunnally go to school together, despite being the pilot of the Mark Nemo and a Britannian soldier, respectively. {{spoiler|They find out about each other's identity in Volume 4}}.
* [[Loving a Shadow]]: Alice worries that she's doing this with Nunnally, and strives to grow past it.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Nunnally's alter-ego: "Nemo" means ''no man'' or ''no one'', which compliments her brother's alias "Zero" (as Diethard put it: ''Zero? As in... nothing?'').
Line 70:
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: {{spoiler|C.C. kills Genbu before he can kill Lelouch so Nunnally won't have to. ("I can't let the hands of Marianne's daughter become soiled")}}.
** Later on, Lelouch does the same for Nunnally for both {{spoiler|Clovis AND the JLF hostage takers}}. Thanks to this, ejection pods and [[Karmic Death]] {{spoiler|for Rolo and (sort of) Emperor & Marianne}}, Nunnally manages to end the series with a killcount of 0, despite piloting a humongous mecha in a gritty setting.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Zero shows up in Saitama and goes [[G Gundam|Master Asia]] on everyone. [http://img46.onemanga.com/mangas/00002282/000137892/19.jpg Seriously.]{{Dead link}}
** Take another look at the way Geass is represented in this manga. Normally, in the anime, the Geass powers have names such as "[[Compelling Voice|Absolute Obedience]]" or "[[Time Stands Still|The Seal of Absolute Suspension]]". However, the Geass powers here are referred to as The _____ (The Power, The Speed, The Soul...). Now, keep in mind that Rollo's Geass is called "The Ice", and can freeze anything ([[Time Stands Still|even Time itself]]). [[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|That's right! Rolo can stop time by yelling "THE ICE!" (in likely Gratuitous English). And his ultimate goal is to steal his enemies' (who he has a prior relationship to) powers in order to become an immortal Demon King!]]
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Alice to Mao. "I have no idea what you're talking about. From my point of view... you're nothing but a murderer who tried to take Nunnally's life."
* [[Start of Darkness]]: {{spoiler|Charles was nearly killed in an assassination attempt on his idealistic emperor father, and survived with "The Dead" Geass. He uses it to regain power, and starts coming back to his previous ideals, but when Marianne is killed, it destroys her trust in people, and her surviving death with "The Soul" enables her to figure out how to access Eden Vital}}. We see in this in a chapter long flashback.
* [[Succession Crisis]]: Surprisingly averted. {{spoiler|After many nobles revolt when Charles initiates his plan, it is feared that any of them might try to take power in the confusion, while Cornelia and the Japanese think that they must be rallied together to fight Charles. They try to have Euphemia succeed, but they apparently need a majority vote for her succession to be recognized, ''then'' it is revealed that Schneizel and all those that rallied behind him, support Euphemia's rise to power.}}
** [[Crazy Prepared]]: {{spoiler|Schneizel had all the paper work done ''before'' Charles initiated his plan. All Euphemia had to do was accept the duty.}}
