Line 31:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Lelouch
* [[Death Glare]]: Lucy
* [[Dropped a Bridge On Him]]: ''Dear Collective Unconscious'', like you wouldn't believe. Even ''{{spoiler|Arthur}}'' wasn't spared, biting it at the Saitama incident. {{spoiler|Villetta}} wasn't really bad per say, but complications arose from the botched assassination, which led to {{spoiler|Sayoko}} and {{spoiler|Jeremiah}} biting the bullet, literally in the former's case. Then, {{spoiler|Rivalz}} gets killed in a subway bombing. Note that all the above happened within ''[[Kill'Em All|two chapters]]''. Earlier in the story {{spoiler|The Four Holy Swords}} were mentioned as having been killed off, and {{spoiler|Todoh}} captured. {{spoiler|He}} ended up dead a few chapters later, as mentioned by Lucy. Then, [[It Got Worse]]: Lucy had {{spoiler|Ohgi}} killed on a suicide mission, {{spoiler|Diethard}} was briefly mentioned as having been killed by {{spoiler|an OSI agent, possibly Rolo}}; the latter ended up torn apart by {{spoiler|Nana}}. {{spoiler|Clovis and Lloyd}} both meet their ends at Lelouch's hand at around that time, thanks to geass. Then, in what could only be described as a [[Wham! Episode|wham chapter]] (especially for this story), {{spoiler|Odysseus, Guinevere, Carline, and '''Euphie'''}} get knocked off at once, at the SAZ ceremony. {{spoiler|Guilford}} gets killed soon after, and {{spoiler|the canon Black Knights from season 1 (including Tamaki, Inoue, and the others from Shinjuku)}} are purged by {{spoiler|Lucy/Zero}}. It seems as if all the canon ''[[Code Geass]]'' characters are being targeted for [[Kill'Em All|major bridge droppings]], and are going out way too fast. Of course, considering the [[Elfen Lied|other source material]], this might just be tame... Oddly enough, out of the characters who were killed off canonically, {{spoiler|Mao}} has been geassed into serving Lelouch and survived thus far, and {{spoiler|Shirley and Kallen}} have been hinted to have survived for many years afterwards, having written books on the story's time period.
** [[It Got Worse|Spoke to soon]]: Lulu {{spoiler|uses Mao as a suicide soldier/decoy, Milly's dad bites it during a revolt in Pendragon, Cornelia dies in the attack that killed Mao, and while several other named characters die left-and-right (including pretty much all the Rounds thanks to Lucy), Lelouch and Suzaku get beaten by Nunnally of all people}}, ending the story. Of course, they're not all safe, as the epilogue proves: {{spoiler|Kallen gets killed}} via a lucky shot by some faceless [[Mook]] who bites it 10 seconds later. [[Switching to GEICO|But hey, at least]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Orenji]] [[Switching to GEICO|turns out to have survived]]! [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5327665/34/Galtons_Children A final list] [[All There in the Manual|of who survived and who died]], as well as how, has been added. {{spoiler|Thankfully, Nana was spared in this case:}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|Nana: MAYBE killed by Jeremiah, Chapter 23. I prefer to think that her freaky recuperative abilities got her out of it, since she was far from the blast radius, and… Actually, you know what? Yes. Nana survived. Somehow—I don't care how—she survived the blast, received Rakshata's antidote courtesy of Lelouch's Imperial Decree #1, and was adopted by a nurturing family that loved her. Screw cynicism.}}}}
Line 63:
* [[Raised By Wolves]]: Both Lelouch and Lucy have some elements of this. Lelouch had to survive Britannian family politics ''and'' support his little sister, while Lucy...well...
* [[The Empire]]: Britannia, obviously. Since imperialism didn't die out in the early 20th century, this also describes virtually every state in the world.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Euphie's e-mail address is apparently "Euphinator96", in reference to the season finale of R1. Lelouch, likewise, goes by "[[Byronic Hero|LordByron111]]". The show actually contains many [[Shout -Out|references]] to season 1 of [[Code Geass]], including Mao asking if Lelouch did something stupid like "[[Xanatos Roulette|make]] [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That|a]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|pre-recorded tape]]", and so forth. Lelouch refers to them as "What Ifs".
* [[Split Personality Takeover]]: Averted for now. Lucy is always in her lucid state.
** Not always {{spoiler|the really violent side of her was out a lot, but was later suppressed.}}
Line 71:
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: In the original, Nunnally was just a [[Morality Pet]] that became empress by the end of season 2. Here, {{spoiler|she comes out on top over Lelouch and Schneizel, and even defeats both Suzaku and Lelouch when they both try to rebel against her decision against Zero Requiem.}}
** The author's notes point out that, due to not losing her sight or legs, Lelouch didn't "treat her like porcelain", and was more able to joke around with her, even giving her the ascended-[[Fan Nickname]] "Nunners". It's also stated that he deeply respected her abilities.
* [[Trauma -Induced Amnesia]]: Lelouch
** As well, he actually loses his sight via Trauma-induced psychosomatic blindness, which apparently [[Shout -Out|runs in the family]].
* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: Lelouch claims that he's playing this, rather than acting as a [[Chessmaster]].
