Code Geass: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

The ''Code Geass'' property has produced three video games to date: a self-titled [[RPG]] for the Nintendo DS (mostly following the first season), a [[Visual Novel]] called ''Lost Colors'' and a board/party game (also for the DS) which focuses on the second season. The show has also been prominently featured in the two-part ''[[Super Robot Wars Z|Super Robot Wars Z2]]'' strategy game.

In December 2009, it was [http://www.ggkthx.org/2009/12/07/new-code-geass-manga/ announced] that there would be a new manga titled ''Code Geass: Renya of the Dark'' (script by Goro Taniguchi, art by Tomomasa Takuma), wherein the eponymous protagonist encounters C.C. and [[Identical Stranger|a man bearing an incredible]] [[Expy|resemblance to Lelouch]] in Edo-period ([[Alternate History|or at least its equivalent]]) Japan. In April 2010, plans for a new OVA -- ''Code Geass Gaiden: Akito the Exiled''—were revealed; this new production will be a sidestory set around the same timeframe as the first season, but will focus on a different group of Japanese pilots fighting on the European front. Further details on this [[Spin-Off]] project were confirmed by the producers in [http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//news/2011-08-01/producer/next-season-of-code-geass-aimed-for-2012 August 2011] and [http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//news/2012-01-12/code-geass/bokoku-no-akito-to-screen-in-theaters-this-summer January 2012]. Separate plans for a film adaptation of the original ''Lelouch of the Rebellion'' story have also been [http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//news/2012-01-12/code-geass/lelouch-of-the-rebellion-gets-film-project announced].

In July 2012, yet another spinoff appeared: ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//encyclopedia/anime.php?id=13974 Code Geass: Nunnally in Wonderland]'', a [[Storybook Episode]] [[OAV]] featuring the characters as the cast of ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]''.

* [[Artistic License]]: The way chess is portrayed makes nearly no sense according to the rules, but [[Rule of Symbolism|serves as a metaphor for how Lelouch and his opponents think.]]

** You can't remove and replace contact lenses that easily. But it [[Rule of Cool|looks awesome]], and besides, [[Large Ham|Lelouch is the type]] who would practice that until he got it right.

** [[Artistic License Geology]]: When {{spoiler|the F.L.E.I.J.A. bomb}} is deployed, leaving at least a [http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/F.L.E.I.J.A./ 1300 meter-deep crater], the now exposed terrain is completely uniform. 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 vapourized in the explosion.

*** Hmmm... it seems to cause a disintegration/black hole effect. If it worked through heat, the surroundings would still be white-hot after the explosion instead of clean-cut.

* [[Assimilation Plot]]: {{spoiler|1=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.}}

Line 465:

** Also very cynically employed By Lelouch on Rolo.

* [[Power Perversion Potential]]: Considering his gigantic unwanted harem and his mind control eye, Lelouch could get a lot of use out of this. And in the Visual Novel's PS2-only Blue Moon Path, the protagonist Rai DOES. On anyone from Nina and Kaguya to Suzaku, and even Lelouch himself.

* [[Pretty Little Headshots]]: When one character is shot in the head at point blank range, all you see is him falling to the ground, and it's clear that there's no exit wound. Might be explained by the fact that all or most of Code Geass' firearms (throughout its entire parallel history, no less) are actually some form of [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100111133658/codegeass/images/b/bb/Fire_arm.jpg coilgun], which means that bullets are of a smaller caliber and that they travel slower than in real-life. It ''might'' make sense, since we see people getting shot multiple times with them and still getting up/recovering. This would also explain the odd, tinny pop the guns make when fired or when the bullets strike something metallic.

* [[Prince Charmless]]: Odysseus.

* [[Product Placement]]: Pizza Hut and, less [[Memetic Mutation|memetically]], the Japanese ISP BIGLOBE.
