Soul Chess/Characters/Main Protagonists: Difference between revisions

Because [[Soul Chess]] is [[Doorstopper|so expansive]] it now has to have separate pages for its [[Loads and Loads of Characters|character index]].

[[Dead to Begin With|He's died and gone to the afterlife, but his journey has only just begun.]] The driving protagonist of the series, Lelouch starts out in Rukongai and becomes a Soul Reaper, but he slowly but surely [[Took a Level Inin Badass|ascends to]] [[Authority Equals Asskicking|greater levels]]. {{spoiler|Lelouch's rise in ranks take him from low down positions in Squad's 10, 2 and 12 before moving back to Squad 10 and then transferring to Squad 6 and then Squad 13. He is then later promoted to 3rd seat and Deputy Research Department Head of Squad 12 before going back to Squad 10 to become its Vice-Captain and later the Captain itself, which is where he currently stands}}. Lelouch's greatest enemy and the man he hates the most is Aizen. Aizen has caused both directly and indirectly {{spoiler|The death of Lelouch's first captain, Mari Akari and her successor Yuna Homura, of whom Lelouch loved, but never told her}}, and the banishment of Kisuke Urahara, Yoruichi Shihoin, {{spoiler|Soifon}}, Tessai Tsukabishi and Isshin Kurosaki. Lelouch, to fight Aizen, has notably gathered quite the bit of huge support around him over the years and eventually their confrontation finally comes to pass. Lelouch's Zanpakuto is called {{spoiler|Eien Tamashi}} and {{spoiler|his Bankai is called Zero no Seishin no Eien Tamashi}}

* [[Adaptational Badass]]: [[Badass Abnormal|Physically of course.]] [[The Chessmaster|Mentally he is pretty much the king]]. In his [[Code Geass|home series]] Lelouch couldn't run down a hallway without losing his breath. While he's still something of a [[Glass Cannon]] here, he is a far cry from what he once was. For better reference compare Lelouch in chapter 4 to [[Authority Equals Asskicking|what]] [[Weak but Skilled|he]] [[Took a Level Inin Badass|becomes]] [[Beware the Nice Ones|much]] [[Playing with Fire|later]].

* [[A Father to His Men]]: After some character development, Lelouch decides to walk this path for real. Thanks to spending more a 100 years in Soul Society, he has finally come to be more closer and friendlier to those serving under him and is willing to risk his life to fight and protect them if he must unlike how during when he was alive, he kept his distance from Kallen and the Black Knights in which it leads to his downfall to despair.

** [[Word of God]] says this was inspired by [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|another masked individual that Zero closely resembles]].

** Do ''not'' mock {{spoiler|his fallen captain Yuna}}.

* [[Cry Into Chest]]: Lelouch becomes the comforting shoulder for a lot of characters.

** {{spoiler|Subverted now as Yuna's [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|been revived]] and they're together. Along with [[Tenchi Solution|Isane, Susanna and Nemu]]}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: What Lelouch's motivation in planning to bring down Central Forty-Six after overthrowing Hitsugaya's authority as Captain on account of MISDEMEANORS.}}

* [[Shmuck Bait]]: Lelouch has a safe in his office that's easy to open and another that opening it in a conventional manner triggers an alarm.

* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Does this to Talbumosuke after the man begins to get under his skin.

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Besides the fact that Lelouch is a Shinigami {{spoiler|Captain, his Geass has evolved into Mastery as a result of the Reapers and Heralds arc.}}

* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: His entire plan during the Reapers and Heralds arc. It’s just...way too damn complicated to explain in words.

* {{spoiler|[[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: Several times. With [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|Yuna]] though she [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|came back]], [[Convenient Miscarriage|Susanna]] and now his [[Tenchi Solution]] has been deconstructed}}

* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Subverted. Ichigo tells Allon to [[Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!|attack him with his strongest punch]]. Allon obliges, but Ichigo blocks it with minimal effort.

* {{spoiler|[[Dead All Along]]: Ever since regaining his powers after Hisana shatters his Soul Chain and Urahara puts him through [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] he’s been this according to Kendra}}.

* [[Implacable Man]]: Sort of. With his [[Training Fromfrom Hell]], courtesy of Lelouch, Ichigo can now manually regenerate his [[Fan Nickname|Pimp coat]], which we all know is a [[Mana Meter]], which means Ichigo can constantly fight with full reiatsu if he focuses. Wounds will still take their full course though.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Ichigo has the nickname “Soul Reaper” amongst the gang system throughout Karakura Town.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: While he and his friends managed to eliminate some of the Espada. This is [[All According to Plan|exactly what]] {{spoiler|Talbumosuke}} [[Xanatos Gambit|wanted]]. He had more to gain this way.

* [[Sand in My Eyes]]: What he says more or less upon Lelouch’s reunion with {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead|Mari]]}}

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Compare [[Leeroy Jenkins|canon]] [[Unskilled but Strong|Ichigo]] with [[Tranquil Fury|the]] [[Combat Pragmatist|current]] [[Lightning Bruiser|version]].
