Line 41:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Mainly toward Sissi and Odd, but the others also get their part of it.
* [[Green Eyed Epiphany]]
* [[Green -Eyed Monster]]: Ulrich can be expecially jealous when it comes to Yumi.
* [[The Hero]]: Subverted; even though he has characteristics to be this ([[Heroes Prefer Swords|using swords]], good-looking guy, seemingly the best fighter in the team), he is ''not'' the main protagonist (Aelita has much more importance to the plot than him) and he is not the team leader (that would be [[The Smart Guy|Jérémie]]).
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: In the prequel, he is much more antisocial, acting displeased by Odd now sharing his room, almost denouncing him to Delmas when discovering he brought Kiwi in secret to Kadic, and even later attempting to use Kiwi as a test subject for Jérémie to see if the virtualization process works. Doesn't prevent him from coming to Jérémie's help twice when seeing him in danger. Judging by how he is portrayed in other episodes, it seems like teamwork eventually made him a better person.
Line 50:
* [[Twice Shy]]: With Yumi.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With Yumi.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have to Be Heights?]]
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: With Yumi. According to the [[Series Finale]] "Echoes", they will... but it was ''highly'' tentative.

{{quote| ''"That's just the Magical Odd Effect. You see me once and you feel as though you've known me all your life!"''}}
 
The only extravert of the Team, and an incorrigible smart-aleck. He dresses in flashy, clashing colors, mostly purple and yellow. Though physically petite compared to the rest of the team, he is an adrenaline junkie, just the type to go for extreme sports. Also a passable student; his strengths are in the languages and artistic classes. He's [[Kidanova|a big flirt]] who's dated about every girl in his grade (most of them for only a day or two) as well as a few others. He has smuggled his small dog, "Kiwi", into the dormitories. In Lyoko, his avatar is a Cat Boy version of himself, including claws and a tail. He has heightened agility and stamina in this form, and can shoot "Lazer Arrows" from his forearms -- which, for a time, tended to run out of ammo at the worst possible moments. This shortage was resolved in Season 2 at the expense of another of Odd's powers, the "Future Flash" which offered spontaneous visions of [[You Can't Fight Fate|the mostly immutable immediate future]]. This left Odd with the short end of the stick powers-wise, a fact lampshaded in Season 3's "Triple Trouble" when Jérémie tries to give Odd a teleportation ability, [[MesMe's a Crowd|but ended up making two clones]] for him instead, and the clones wind up not disappearing when no longer needed. At least he still has a marginally useful [[Deflector Shields|energy shield]], granted as part of the Season 2 power realignment.
 
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Subverted; Odd indeed ''is'' effeminate, to the point some fan occasionnally had [[Ambiguous Gender|difficulties deciding weither he is a boy or a girl]]. Graphic errors such as [http://img.codelyoko.fr/galeries/19_frontiere/Frontiere_365.jpg this], or his voice in the French dub, don't help either. Ironically, however, he is actually a [[Camp Straight]] [[Kidanova]]. Of course, that doesn't stop the Yaoi Fangirls from imagining things...
Line 99:
* [[Casual Danger Dialog]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "''T'y crois pas!''" ("Can't believe it!")
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: In the prequel.
* [[Face Palm]]
Line 115:
* [[Ship Tease]]: Often with, [[Slap Slap Kiss|ironically enough, Sissi]].
* [[Showthe Forehead]]
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: As he stated in the aptly-named episode "Bragging Rights".
{{quote| '''Odd:''' Yes, I'm a braggart, and I love it that way!}}
* [[Static Character]]: The most noteworthy example on the show; he ''never'' changes.
Line 130:
* [[Deflector Shields]]: Since Season 2 (and in the prequel as a minor continuity goof).
* [[Facial Markings]]
* [[Four -Fingered Hands]]
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: In Season 1. While he has as many [[Hit Points]] as anyone else, before Jérémie programs in his shield, he has no defenses except dodging.
* [[Hit Points]]
Line 178:
* [[One Head Taller]]
* [[One of the Boys]]
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]
* [[Shorttank]]
* [[Showthe Forehead]]
Line 185:
* [[Twice Shy]]: With Ulrich.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With Ulrich.
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: With Ulrich.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Only in the first episode.
Lyoko Avatar
* [[Boomerang Comeback]]
* [[Did Not Do the Research]] / [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Her kimono from the first three seasons has the right side fastened over the left. Traditionally, this means that the wearer is dead.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]]: [[Fan Nickname|Geisha Tornado]].
* [[Hit Points]]
* [[Mind Over Matter]]
Line 199:
* [[She Fu]]
* [[Three Point Landing]]
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Tessen Fan ([[Dual -Wielding|two since Season 2]]).
Season 4 Avatar
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]
* [[Hard Light]]: When "translated" on Earth.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]
* [[Opera Gloves]]
* [[Sensual Spandex]]
Line 216:
{{quote| ''"OK, XANA. What do you have in store for us this time?"''}}
 
Jérémie is the computer genius whom operates the Supercomputer and allows the interface. He's also the leader of the Team, and shows good tactical skills even under pressure. As the most levelheaded, he keeps the infighting within the group to a minimum. He can even get a bit authoritarian, despite being the youngest. Jérémie is one year younger than Ulrich and Odd, having skipped a grade. He has more than a crush on Aelita, and it's largely this motivation that keeps the Team going in time after time to shut XANA down. Though he has been virtualized twice, this has [[The Un -Reveal|never been done on camera]] -- something of a [[Lampshade Hanging]] on the second occasion.
 
* [[Adorkable]]
Line 227:
* [[Good Counterpart]]: Develops into a full-fledged anti-XANA as he gains more experience with the Supercomputer.
* [[Hand Behind Head]]
* [[In -Series Nickname]]: "Einstein"
* [[The Insomniac]]
* [[LaymansLayman's Terms]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]: He has his moments. They tend to [[Hilarity Ensues|backfire]].
* [[Mission Control]]
Line 235:
* [[Nerd]]
* [[Nerd Glasses]]
* [[Non -Action Guy]]
* [[Official Couple]]: With Aelita.
** [[Beta Couple]]
Line 245:
* [[Rapid Fire Typing]]
* [[The Short Guy With Glasses]]
* [[The Smart Guy]]: Unusually for a [[Five -Man Band]], he's the leader rather than [[The Hero|Ulrich]].
* [[Smart People Play Chess]]
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]
* [[Team Dad]]
* [[Techno Babble]]
Line 256:
Lyoko Avatar
* [[Take Our Word for It]]: "He was ridiculous..."
* [[The Un -Reveal]]
 
 
Line 282:
* [[Dreaming of Things to Come]]
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: She failed, though.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses]]
* [[Fetal Position Rebirth]]
* [[Girl in A Box|Girl in a Computer]]
* [[Human Popsicle]]: Although not through cryonics -- she didn't age for 10 years while virtualized inside the Supercomputer.
* [[I Have Many Names]]
* [[In -Series Nickname]]: "Princess"
* {{spoiler|[[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]}}
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]: Full-fledged in Seasons 3-4, but there was some present before then.
* [[The Load]]: In Season 1 and sometimes in Season 2.
* [[MacGuffin Girl]]: [[Inverted Trope]].
* {{spoiler|[[Mad ScientistsScientist's Beautiful Daughter]]: She's Franz Hopper's daughter}}
* [[Magical Girlfriend]]
* [[Magic Skirt]]
Line 313:
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]
* [[Undead Tax Exemption]]: Averted. Team Lyoko has to do the work to create an identity for her (though Jérémie is very good at "arranging" her paperwork), and there are enough holes in it for Sissi to occasionally piece together that something's going on.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Twice...
** Why Did It Have to Be Wolves?: They feature heavily in her recurring nightmares.
** Why Did It Have to Be the Scyphozoa?: She ''really'' catches the [[Distress Ball]] whenever it pops in, even in later seasons when she's the most powerful member of the group.
Line 328:
* [[Lotus Position]]
* [[Neuro Vault]]
* [[One -Woman Wail]]
* [[Override Command]]: {{smallcaps|Code: LYOKO}}
* [[Pointy Ears]]
Line 357:
* [[The Atoner]]: Subverted; he attempts to be this in season 4 finale, but is rejected by the Lyoko-Warriors.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]
* [[Eerie Pale -Skinned Brunette]]: In ''Evolution'', according to the trailers.
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: What caused him to end up possessed.
* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: "Makes me totally insane."
Line 364:
* [[Promotion to Opening Titles]]: When he becomes a villain.
* [[Put On a Bus]]: His possession effectively took him out of the show. {{spoiler|But he'll be back for Season 5!}}
* [[Reformed but Rejected]]: Sadly, after freeing him, all Lyoko-Warriors but Aelita have difficulties forgiving him for what he did under XANA's control (despite Aelita pointing out [[Not Himself|it wasn't is fault]] and it could have happened to any of them). It goes as far as when he attempts to redeem himself by helping them, Yumi violently rejects him and refuses he'd come on Lyoko, arguing XANA might seize the opportunity to control him again. {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Ironically, this is exactly what happen... except XANA is able to control him through a tower because he is still on Earth. Nice job, Yumi!]]}}
* [[Romantic False Lead]]: To Yumi.
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]
Line 391:
* [[Sword Beam]]
* [[Sword Drag]]
* [[Theme Music Power -Up]]
* [[Took a Level In Badass]] / [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: Oddly enough, his fanbase got much bigger after this. Granted, he went from [[Die for Our Ship|an annoying rival to Ulrich]] to a [[Evil Is Cool|badass villain]], so that might be actually understandable.
* [[Voice of the Legion]]
Line 422:
* [[Faceless Eye]]: His trademark symbol.
* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen]]: He doesn't even ''have'' a body to begin with.
* [[Instant AI, Just Add Water]]
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Though he has issues understanding emotions, he is still smart enough to develop various schemes based on emotional manipulation. As the serie progress, he gradually becomes better at it, eventually going near to the [[Magnificent Bastard]] level.
* [[Master Computer]]: Seasons 1-2.
Line 458:
* ''Mantas'' -- White-and-blue manta rays that "swim" through the air and [[Noisy Nature|shriek like hawks]]. As if XANA didn't have enough air superiority, these [[Giant Flyer|Giant Flyers]] hatch from the Celestial Dome surrounding Sector 5 and can deploy practically everywhere to shoot the regular lasers or poop deadly multi-terrain mines. William gains a black one as steed when under XANA's servitude.
* ''Kongres'' -- Eel-like monsters that antagonize the heroes in the Digital Sea. Have [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]].
* ''Sharks (Rekins)'' -- [[EverythingsEverything's Even Worse With Sharks|Shark-like monsters]] also native to the Digital Sea. Fire torpedoes instead of lasers.
* ''Kalamar'' -- Only seen once in the Digital Sea, it attempted to [[This Is a Drill|drill]] through the ''Skid'''s hull.
* ''Kolossus (le Kolosse)'' -- XANA's last-minute [[Giant Mook]], appearing as a towering [[Volcanic Veins|Lava]] [[Golem]] with [[Blade Below the Shoulder|a blade for a left arm]]. It foregos standard lasers to crush the Lyoko Warriors and the ''Skidbladnir'' with sheer physical power. It is harder to kill than most monsters, having two Eyes of XANA that must be hit simultaneously to destroy it.
Line 466:
** [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: The Eye of XANA.
** [[Epileptic Flashing Lights]]
** [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: All monsters, with the exception of the uniques ones (Scyphozoa, Kalamar, Kolossus), primarily attack that way. Apart from the Kankrelats, they have other modes of attack, though.
** [[Hit Points]]
** [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]
** [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: It has happened for the monsters to keep firing on a hero about to fall in the Digital Sea -- thus saving him or her from being stuck by timely devirtualization.
** [[Made of Explodium]]
** [[Mecha-Mooks]]
Line 518:
* [[Hulk Speak]]
* [[Intangible Man]]
* [[Kiss Me, I'm Virtual]]
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]
* [[Robo Cam]]
Line 561:
* [[Depending On the Writer]]: The level of sympathy her character is treated with changes from episode to episode; shown moreso in Seasons 2 and 4 (where she was sympathetic in the majority of her appearances) than 1 and 3 (where she... wasn't, though she did have her moments in 1.)
* [[Do Not Call Me Paul]]: "It's ''Sissi''! Not ''Élisabeth''!"
* [[DungeonmastersDungeonmaster's Girlfriend]]
* [[Foot Focus]]: She's the subject of it several times.
** For example episode 3, "Holiday in the Fog". Sissy takes a nap with her shoes and socks comfortably discarded. However, she gets a rude awakening by an incoming cloud of gas. The sight of it frightens her so much, she [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eQ5BBnWj_T8/SNAacFdx0jI/AAAAAAAACmE/XxlgNVo37Dg/s1600-h/Sissi+7.JPG flees] [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eQ5BBnWj_T8/SNAZ7eRirJI/AAAAAAAACl8/V02wJYkEsC4/s1600-h/Sissi+8.JPG down the hall] [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eQ5BBnWj_T8/SNAZ2RXo9LI/AAAAAAAACl0/0M5Urs3LtXY/s1600-h/Sissi+9.JPG barefoot], abandoning her footwear in her dorm instead of risking her life to waste time grabbing them, then [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eQ5BBnWj_T8/SNAa1fEPaWI/AAAAAAAACmU/8KS0BuEA5Tk/s1600-h/Sissi+5.JPG crashes] [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eQ5BBnWj_T8/SNAa6RlMdvI/AAAAAAAACmc/fxHOcQZFtvA/s1600-h/Sissi+4.JPG right] [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eQ5BBnWj_T8/SNAbDaZOAUI/AAAAAAAACmk/KLtt2Gvl-O4/s1600-h/Sissi+3.JPG into] [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eQ5BBnWj_T8/SNAbXmyDK2I/AAAAAAAACms/Ix123ERrUls/s1600-h/Sissi+6.JPG Jim.] However, she's somehow acquired her shoes and socks again by the time she's locked in an elevator (possibly an animation error or an offscreen moment where Jim grabbed a spare set of shoes).

{{quote| ''"Actually, I'd be glad to talk about it, but I don't have the time!"''}}
 
The Gym teacher and dormitory supervisor at Kadic Academy. A bit overweight and prone to speeches full of [[Department of Redundancy Department|redundancies]] and [[Malaproper|malapropisms]], he's most often the [[Plucky Comic Relief|comic relief]]. But when [[Let's Get Dangerous|things get dangerous]] he can prove [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|extremely courageous]] and [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|fiercely protective of the children]]. Jim is sometimes the [[Butt Monkey|butt of the students' practical jokes]], and as a result can be [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|overly severe toward them]]. He's very suspicious of Team Lyoko, and ends up discovering the Factory several times, to have his memory erased by the [[Reset Button|Returns to the Past]]. Starting with Season 2, whenever appropriate to the situation, his shtick is to mention one of the [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?|many jobs or hobbies]] he's supposed to have done in the past, from sewer worker to astronaut.... Though [[Noodle Incident|some of these might be true]], most are probably [[The Munchausen|wild exaggerations]], as suggested in the episode named for his [[Catch Phrase]].
 
* [[Badass Teacher]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'd rather not talk about it."
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]
Line 616:
* [[Pointless Band-Aid]]
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Temporarily, at the end of Season 1. But then he gets his memory erased when the gang go back in time.
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]
 
 
Line 646:
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Allows himself to be killed by Mantas while he diverts enough power to the Supercomputer to launch the Anti-XANA Program.}}
* [[Mad Scientist]]: He built the Supercomputer, Lyoko and XANA on his own.
* [[The Obi -Wan]]: He serves this function to Jérémie, helping him to refine his programming and giving him data and better weapons with which to fight XANA.
* [[Opaque Nerd Glasses]]
* [[Papa Wolf]]: And XANA [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|knows it]].
