== [[Code Lyoko (Animation)|Code Lyoko]] ==
== XANA is Nyx ==
The monsters are Shadows, William is Takaya, Ulrich is Akihiko, Odd is Junpei, Yumi is either Yukari or Mitsuru, Jeremy is the MC, and Aelita is Aigis. The Lyoko forms are Personas (who seem to only know Physical skills) and the scanners are Evokers.
Line 13:
A variation on the above, for those who think Franz ''wasn't'' several sandwiches short of a picnic. In this case, Antea was kidnapped sometime during Franz's last days on Project Carthage. In disgust, he leaves the project and uses its resources secretly to rescue his wife. Trouble is, the MIB have turned her into an [[Virtual Ghost|AI construct]]. Counter-theories to the above bullet points follow:
* Letting the heroes survive between attacks? We've got two theories on that.
** A: Antea-XANA has a [[Portal (Video Gameseries)|GLaDOS-like]] Morality Core that malfunctions periodically to make her do various diabolical deeds.
** B: Overclocked human brainwave-based AI means overclocked mood swings. Every attack is a Roaring Rampage of PMS.
* Helping out in [[Enemy Mine]] scenarios? Simple self-preservation protocol, not too far off from the "XANA is Franz" theory above.
* Attacking to get Aelita out of a physical? Maternal instinct.
* Franz's whereabouts during the big cliffhangers? Simple: he operated out of Sector 5 until "Revelation/The Key," in which he depleted his power to restore part of Aelita's human memories. From there, he escapes to the Internet proper, bumming energy off Windows XP users to reconstitute himself. After the [[Ten -Minute Retirement]] of Lyoko at Season 3's end, he returns to the supercomputer to secretly affect repairs on the Skidbladnir, occasionally popping up to rescue Aelita from the Digital Sea if her wings don't kick in.
== The story is the final chapter of the .hack saga, .hack/LYOKO ==
Sometime after the current .hack series, the World is pulled offline permanently. It turns out that Jun Bansyoya's journal lied, and Harold Hoerwick returns from years of study into molecular manipulation to gather up the remaining ''The World'' computers and reconfigures their data into a new version on a quantum computer, creating Lyoko. He then retools Aura into a more realistic version, Aelita, and prepares to finally bring her into the real world as a testament to his love for Emma. He even goes as far to create a fake identity, papers, and photos, so that he and the new Aura will look like a convincing family and be able to hide from CC Corp. Something goes horribly wrong, though, and Morganna remanifests from the hidden depths of the ''New World'' as XANA.
Line 23:
** Could I possibly have a link to this?
== Code Lyoko takes place in the [[Marvel Universe]]. ==
C'mon, Marvel bankrolling the short-lived Code Lyoko toyline and MoonScoop producing a short-lived Fantastic Four animated series? It can't be a short-lived coincidence. Now that XANA's gone, our heroes will move to England, become the Ultimates X-Calibur team, and work in at least three [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] references a year.
* On a related note, Ulrich is a Skrull, as are both his parents.
** Nah, only Ulrich's [[Jerkass]] father is a Skrull. However, Ulrich will use powers derived from his Skrull heritage to usurp the position of Captain Marvel.
Line 29:
In a rare occurence of reaching through the other side of the [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]], it's [[No Export for You|"How long will CL fans have to wait, in years, before the entirety of Code Lyoko comes out on Region 1 DVD with French audio?"]]
== [[The Men in Black]] are actually [[Clock Roaches]]. ==
For starters, notice that throughout the present day of the series, Franz Hopper has never taken corporeal form. Turns out his doing so would trigger a paradox and/or causal loop that would spell [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|the end of the Multiverse as we know it]]. Thus, the Men In Black needed to ensure a [[Stable Time Loop]] by forcing him to shuffle off the mortal coil, through death or other means. Since death would throw a wrench into future events, they chose "other means" - if Franz and Aelita didn't evacuate to Lyoko of their own accord, they'd drag them into the scanners. Kidnapping Antea (and possibly turning her into XANA or a XANA-prototype as denoted above) was insurance to make sure Franz would continue his work on a virtual world derived from Project Carthage and eventually take up permanent (or at least permanently disembodied) residence in the end product.
== Aelita learned how to use Energy Fields in the [[Time Skip]] between Seasons 2 and 3 by [[Archive Binge|marathoning]] ''[[Naruto]]''. ==
Alternatively, [[I Know Mortal Kombat|she knows Jump Super/Ultimate Stars]].
Line 35:
Largely a concession to the ".hack//LYOKO" theory above. Other notable scientists include:
* At least two [[Back to The Future|Doctor]] [[Front Mission|Browns]]
* At least one [[Doctor Who (TV)|The Doctor]]
* [[Mega Man Battle Network (Video Game)|Dr. Tadashi Hikari]] or [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Thomas Light]], continuity depending
* Dr. Albert Wily, continuity notwithstanding
** Which means that XANA's specters are related to the Maverick Virus.
* A young [[Sid MeiersMeier's Alpha Centauri|Academician Prokor Zakharov]], who eventually modeled his goggles off Franz's specs and [[Rozen Maiden|Suiseiseki's eyes]]
Furthermore, the Project Carthage staff is the group responsible for the creation of many [[Grand Unifying Guesses|A.I.s]].
== XANA's name is actually "Xana". ==
When Franz Hopper created the super computer he designed it to use a case-insensitive character encoding to get a (very) small boost in performance. Hence why everything, including XANA's name, appears in all caps.
* Actually, no. The reason for the mostly-caps thing is that the "Lyoko Font", [http://editthis.info/Code_Wiki/Gunship Gunship], has nearly all the lower-case letters appear in uppercase, with the exception of "b" and "d".
== XANA is a prototype of the [[Sid MeiersMeier's Alpha Centauri|Hunter-Seeker Algorithm]]. ==
Formless in its structure, horrifyingly versatile in its offense, XANA's activities [[Cutscene Power to Thethe Max|fit the Hunter-Seeker's FMV to the letter]].
* But if the fake Franz was right and XANA was made to combat multi-agent systems, how did Jeremy manage to overwhelm it with one?
** XANA follows the ''Alien Crossfire'' rules: Jeremy wasn't OHKO'd because he had Algorithmic Enhancement, and mounted a successful counter-offensive because his Probe Score was +5.
Line 53:
Furthermore, when Aelita {{spoiler|Schaeffer}} was virtualized onto Lyoko, XANA merged her data with Aura's (creating Aelita Stones) in order to both protect her and prevent Aura's materialization.
== XANA was made with Progenitor technology. ==
Yes, yet another [[Sid MeiersMeier's Alpha Centauri|SMAC-themed]] WMG, I know, but bear with [[Tropers/Andy Waltfeld|me]].
* First, see the Hunter-Seeker WMG above.
* Second, consider XANA's modus operandi: the manipulation of electric current, electronic computational functions, and bioelectric impulses to affect a variety of attacks. These come as easily to XANA as the manipulation of electronic and thermal resonances for Progenitors - in fact, the latter is their primary communication medium.
* Finally, nobody seems to agree on which set of gender pronouns to refer to XANA with, if even to use ones denoting gender at all: the show has a secure grip on referring to XANA as male, while several [[Fanon]] interpretations depict XANA as female (if not having a separate female avatar to [[Pair the Spares|ship with William]]), the [[Schematized Prop|Let's Talk Tech]] team at [[Lyoko Freak]] seems to like gender-neutral pronouns, and the games (or at least "Fall of XANA") switch between the three with reckless abandon. Solution? Reference to XANA is designed with gender fluidity in mind: much like in communicating with a Progenitor, it doesn't matter which pronouns you use or how frequently they're shuffled, as long as it's clear you're referring to the same entity the entire time. Also, it's either this or we take the [[Squick]] route like with [[Pokémon (Franchise)/WMG|Pikachu]] and [[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)/WMG|Vaarsuvius]].
== XANA turned William into an [[Bleach|Espada]]. ==
Jeremy provided the [[BFS]], all XANA had to do was write all the jokes at Ichigo's expense. And possibly Chad's, with all the times William wound up getting [[The Worf Effect|Worfed]].
Line 83:
 
What? That makes a LOT more sense than the [[Identical Stranger]] scenario...
* If she dies and Jeremy [[Mega Man Battle Network (Video Game)|installs her DNA into Aelita]], will it unlock her true power? Just curious.
* Extra credit for getting your timeline right - 7 years is absolutely ''spot on'', which took this troper about 6 minutes to confirm. Anyway, isn't there an OVA on the way explaining more about Project Carthage? You may be right...
** Actually, that OVA got sacked. There's a novel series on the way, but as far as I can figure, that's an alternate continuity.
Line 101:
* This troper thinks you're on to something. OSR takes place in either 2081 or 2082, judging from a banner glimpsed in a flashback to a time shortly before Maya Wei's death. Assuming that Jeremie was eleven or twelve in 2005, that he and Aelita grew up, married, and had kids, that pink hair is some sort of recessive trait, that Maya was somewhere in her thirties when she died in 2071/2072, and that Maya was actually French... ''Jeremie and Aelita could be Eva Wei's grandparents.'' (Unless this troper's math is wrong. She double-checked, honest!)
 
== Jim is a [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]], and [[Code Lyoko (Animation)|Code Lyoko]] is an Alternate Universe of [[Metal Gear]]. ==
Jim has plently of [[Noodle Incident|Noodle Incidents]], and they both have brown hair. I imagine that Jim is really Snake in a world where Liquid died in a horrible accident, Ocelot's plan never got past "Snake Eater", and Snake really did get to stay retired. Snake himself got fat after years of enjoying himself, but fled the country and moved to France when he realized he might be tracked by <s>a-li-lo-a-li-le</s> <s>La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo</s> {{spoiler|The Patriots}}. As for Lyoko, it could be {{spoiler|1=one of the Patriots' AIs, with X.A.N.A. being Big Boss himself}}, and the MIBs in Aelita's flashback being {{spoiler|Patriots}} who wanted to kidnap Aelita so they could blackmail Franz, {{spoiler|just like they did with Olga}}.
 
{{spoiler|Snake's rapid aging is still a hole in my theory, though. Either A. he never came down with it via being a FOXDIE vector, or B. Plastic surgery.}}
* William is Psycho Mantis, by the way. "You LIKE Oban Star-Racers, don't you?"
* Taking things into Konami's expanded universe for a stretch, Franz Hopper is actually an alias for <s>Waldo Schaeffer</s> Petrovich Modnar. Which makes Aelita a [[Snatcher]] of Antea Hopper intended to keep up the [[Masquerade]] of a nuclear family. Except she accidentally became human through interaction with XANA, who happens to be an [[Boktai (Video Game)|Immortal]]. A decade later, Jeremy and pals [[Gradius|Shot The Core]] so that Aelita could spend her days in peace, playing [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|children's card games]].
* Further addendums to the above:
** The laser satellite is actually {{spoiler|the Patriots' "John Doe" server}}, which would make XANA {{spoiler|some sort of zeitgeist of the "rule the world" half of the Patriots' proprietors (Sigint, Para-Medic, Major Zero)}}.
Line 138:
* Reminds me of another extraordinary girl whose personality shifted towards the assertive halfway through the story. You sure Aelita isn't [[Final Fantasy VI|a half-Esper]]?
 
== Jeremy is [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi]]. ==
He probably created all of Aelita's past and a way to bring her to the real world because he was really in love with her, and it'd be troublesome if she didn't come to reality, like he wanted. The change in personality was because it was how he imagined her.And XANA's [[Game Breaker]] status was just a way to keep away from the massive boredom. He probably created this new Universe after Haruhi saw that there was a game so awesome she wished it was real. Lyoko is this game.
 
Line 147:
 
== A crazy, yet plausible theory to Odd's Lyoko form. ==
The night before he enrolled at Kadic, he read the original ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Literature)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' book before sleeping. Then, he dreamed about Kiwi peeing on a random log, where the Chesire Cat was resting. Kiwi and the Chesire Cat then started fighting... and then Odd woke up. Hence why in Lyoko he is dressed as a purple cat with a picture of Kiwi peeing as his [[Chest Insignia]].
 
== Yumi grows up and becomes [[Soul Eater|Yumi Azusa]]. ==
Line 157:
** He did. See the novel series.
 
== Ulrich's real parents are [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Kyon and Haruhi]] ==
Got the idea from a since-removed Youtube video saying that kyon and Haruhi are Ulrich's parents due to Ulrich being a slight expy of Kyon and other reasons. Haruhi just transferred the baby to the stomach of a French woman. She IS god, after all.
* If the baby wound up in her stomach, [[Completely Missing the Point|wouldn't that kill him before he was born]]?
Line 173:
* That's not a bad theory. It makes sense. Perhaps the reason he created all those extra super computers was because he needed extra power to destroy Carthage (and he created those robots to defend the computers should they come under attack). I mean, since the Carthage was started (in what, the '70s?) it had probably grown exponentially. Hell, depending on just WHAT it does exactly, it may be a threat to the entire world. Heh, it's probably some sort of system that keeps the entire world under the control... What was that theory regarding [[Metal Gear|The Patriots]] again? If this is all true though wouldn't that make [[Designated Villain|Xana]] the hero of the show, which is nothing but a bunch of [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]] moments?
* Or perhaps he already destroyed it at some point in the past and, as a result, decided to destroy the ones who created it, the humans, as an extention of the original programming.
** So XANA is [[Deus Ex (Video Game)|Helios]]?
 
== Xana actually trapped them in a different bubble simulation at the end of ghost channels and they just think they are in the real world ==
