* [[Characterization Marches On]]: Nearly all of the Britannian Empire were purely evil, racist, and ruthless in the first season, but the second season gave it more shades of gray, with the main ones in charge (Emperor Charles, V.V, etc.) being the only truly evil ones, and even ''they'' have understandable motivations. In the end, [[Complete Monster|Luciano Bradley]] is the only Britannian left with absolutely no redeeming qualities.

* [[Celibate Hero]]: Lelouch honestly doesn't seem that interested in women or sex. Possibly a [[Freud Was Right]] given his fixation on avenging his mother and creating a better world for his sister. It is implied that, aside from these two, he does love C.C., Shirley and Kallen, refusing to let Kallen throw away her life for him and choosing to {{spoiler|avenge Shirley's death.}} But, though each of those three have surprise-kissed him at least once, the only time Lelouch tries making a romantic or sexual advance of his own is when he's in the middle of a [[Heroic BSOD]] and is looking for anything that might comfort him. He makes this advance on Kallen, no less.
