Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} {{quote\|''Aizen. You may have defeated Urahara-san, but now you face an opponent who will trip you up at every turn, stop you at every juncture and counter your every move. You now face an opponent [[Xanatos Speed Chess\|who can play by your rules and settings]]. [[The Chessmaster\|From now on you face me]].''\|'''[[Guile Hero\|Lelouch]] [[Magnificent Bastard\|Lamperouge]]'''}} '''''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6953451/1/ Soul Chess]''''' Is a [[Bleach]]/[[Code Geass]] fanfiction about what happens to Lelouch after the [[Thanatos Gambit\|Zero Requiem]]. It starts with Lelouch waking up in the rukongai, and follows him during his rise through the ranks. The story is noted for staying very true to character, even considering [[Bleach\|how many]] [[Loads and Loads of Characters\|the source material brings.]] Lelouch, Aizen, Yoruichi, Urahara, and everyone else are all completely in character. Line 8: Also important is something ''extremely'' rare in any crossover: ''things don't change right away''. The story starts sometime a little before the turn back the pendulum arc, and major changes don't happen for several chapters. This is partially because the overall spread of events was [[The Chessmaster\|designed]] to allow for [[Magnificent Bastard\|inconsistencies,]] and partially because Lelouch starts out at a fairly low rank, and stays that way for a while. His rise through the ranks is steady and believable. {{tropelist}} ~~The [[Soul Chess/Characters\|character page]] is now up and running smoothy. Tropes that were associated with characters have been moved to the their appropriate places from the main page.~~ ~~----~~ ~~=== This Fanfiction contains examples of: ===~~ ~~-----~~ == Tropes A to G == * [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: {{spoiler\|Hisana's Bankai's ultimate form can cut through Starrk's cero and also through Hallibel and Grimmjow's hierro enough to hack off their arms.}} * [[Achilles' Heel]]: The Togabito that attack the world of the living have their masks as this. [[Attack Its Weak Point\|Lelouch is quick to abuse this]]. * [[Actor Allusion]]: Multiple people have commented that Lelouch and Ichigo [[Johnny Yong Bosch\|sound very similar]], including themselves. As an alias to get her and Ichigo through Seireitei, Kukaku calls Ichigo [[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya\|Koizumi]][[Devil May Cry\|Nero]]. Line 31 ⟶ 24: The Newsletters contain this sort of information. * [[Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome\|Alternate Universe Sasakibe Chojiro is Awesome]]: There is an omake with this title that turns the [[Flat Character]] Sasakibe Chojiro into a complete badass that borderlines [[Gary Stu]] territory. {{spoiler\|Of course [[All Just a Dream\|it's all just Kenpachi's dream]]. Unless, considering Lelouch explains, while drunk, that the omake is how he things Baraggan's fraccion died and why there is a [[It Makes Sense in Context\|bust of Sasakibe in the 11th Division]]}} * [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]]: [[Playing ~~With~~with a Trope\|Played with]] in Lelouch's fight with Maki. After Maki figures out Lelouch's [[Squishy Wizard\|fighting style]], Lelouch reminds him that knowing is only half the battle. * [[Anyone Can Die]]: Let's see: {{spoiler\|Mari, Nnoitora, [[Doomed Byby Canon\|Miyako]], [[Disk One Final Boss\|AIZEN]], Szayel, Zommari, [[The Starscream\|Baraggan]] and all his Fraccion, and that is [[It Got Worse\|BEFORE]] the Battle of Karakura Town arc. Mia and Yuna used to be on this list but the former is now officially revived with Cirucci's [[Fusion Dance]] sacrifice and the latter via Reincarnation.}} Even the [[Plot Armor]] of [[Bleach\|OFFICIAL]] Characters would not protect them. [[Word of God]] has explicitly stated that this trope is applicable to the Battle of Karakura Town Arc in large contrast to canon. {{spoiler\|So far, Ikkaku, Nanao and now Shuhei are among the Soul Society casualties. The First Half is over but expect it to rise in the Second Half.}} The Second Half just finished with the final tally adding up to be: {{spoiler\|Komamura, Hiyori, Love, Hachi, Spargga, Kira, Mia, Ulquiorra, Ciela, and Talbumosuke}}. It's subverted for {{spoiler\|Yammy}} who is actually killed, but {{spoiler\|he is now haunting Grimmjow as Ghost Yammy}}. [[Shout -Out\|Which may]] [[Expy\|have been]] [[Dragon Ball Abridged\|the point]]. The ONLY Soul Society casualty in the Reapers and Heralds arc? {{spoiler\|Yamamoto's Vice-Captain Chojiro Sasakibe.}} It wasn't even by battle{{spoiler\|, he was [[Mercy Kill~~\|Mercy Killed~~]]ed due to a devastating fever}}. As of {{spoiler\|Aizen's Revenge so far: [[Oh Crap\|Captain-Commander Yamamoto Shigekuni Genryusai]], Ryou, Sentaro, and Yosei are dead}}. *** Before most of the actual fighting begins {{spoiler\|Mayuri}} snuffs it as well. Line 42 ⟶ 35: * [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: The anti-hellfire * [[Arc Words]]: If I don't try, there's no chance, but if I try, even if the odds are stacked against me, there's still a chance. * [[Armor -Piercing Slap]]: {{spoiler\|Hisana}} gives one to Lelouch over {{spoiler\|his attitude about Rukia's execution}}. Rangiku gives him one when he tries to {{spoiler\|become the fall guy for the rest of the phantoms}}. * She also gives one to {{spoiler\|Gin}} in chapter 90 along with a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] speech. * [[Artistic License]]: Invoked whenever [[Word of God\|Kubo]] hasn't provided enough information. Invoked again to give {{spoiler\|Cornelia and one yet to be revealed sibling of Lelouch's spiritual power}}. With that said the author states he has some [[Chekhov's Gun\|very solid reasoning for doing this that will later be important.]] Invoked yet again, this time it is {{spoiler\|Soifon}}'s Bankai. The author deliberately changed {{spoiler\|her}} original [[BFG\|Bankai]] to this alternate original creation. * [[Ascended Meme]]: The author decided to use the line that Jikan Kami {{spoiler\|Talbumosuke's Zanpakuto}} makes Kyoka Suigetsu look like a parlor trick as part of the in-universe dialogue. * [[Assassin Outclassin']]: Happens to Yosei and Yolanda. * [[Asshole Victim]]: {{spoiler\|Talbumosuke wants revenge for the death of his family and servants and [[Evil Mentor\|Aizen]] also [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?\|bites the dust]], but no one sheds a tear for them and quite frankly, no one will miss them.}} ** Anyone in hell is basically this whenever they suffer. * [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: The ranking system in Hell. {{spoiler\|#2 and #3 are Aizen and Talbumosuke respectively, Orin is ranked #20 and he [[Curb Stomp Battle\|wiped the floor]] with [[Lightning Bruiser\|I]][[Combat Pragmatist\|CHI]][[Tranquil Fury\|GO]], and Kasumi? She is NUMBER ONE!}} * [[Ass Shove]]: Rangiku does this to Haineko with a stick. {{spoiler\|The idea was to make Haineko orgasm so she would lose her strength and return to Rangiku}}. * [[Attack of the ~~Fifty~~ 50-Foot Whatever]]: Kasumi and Ichigo come across this monster with three tentacles for a body. It turns out that those are just the eyelashes. Then the room starts shaking and the whole monster emerges. [[Bring My Brown Pants\|Ichigo feels like he wants to ball up and cry because what do you do when something that big wants to kill you]]? * [[Attempted Rape]]: {{spoiler\|On Orihime by Needles and his group. Ichigo arrives just in time}} ** [[Screw Yourself\|Chi Kamisori on Vera]] Line 71 ⟶ 64: * [[Badass Boast]]: The page quote, which comes from the end of the Prelude arc. How about this one {{spoiler\|near the end of Eye Of The Storm}}: {{quote\| '''Lelouch:''' {{spoiler\|"It's a perfect plan, but you made one mistake. And that mistake was that you crossed paths with me. From the very moment you sent Urahara Kisuke to be banished I have worked to trip you at every turn, stop you at every juncture and counter your every move. I played by your rules and settings, simply because I had no problem in doing so. You always wanted a rival Aizen. Well here I am!"}}}} Uryu vs Shawlong. "I will kill you before you land a single blow on me." Bonus points for ''actually doing it''. ** Shinji: I won't need more than five minutes. * [[Batman Gambit]]: Uryu trys one against Kyoraku during their [[It Makes Sense in Context\|drinking game]], based off of his personal knowledge of Chad. {{spoiler\|Too bad Kyoraku was immune to the poison Uryu used and thus the gambit fails.}} * [[Berserk Button]]: Don't even THINK on {{spoiler\|[[Attempted Rape\|raping Orihime]] especially when [[What an Idiot!\|ICHIGO IS NEARBY]] Needles.}} It won't end well. * [[Betty and Veronica]]: Yuna and Rangiku, respectively. With {{spoiler\|Yuna dead, [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead\|NOT ANYMORE]], Susanna and Nemu have taken over as the Betty.}} In chapter 107 Kendra becomes the Veronica to {{spoiler\|Orihime's}} Betty with regards to {{spoiler\|Ichigo}}. {{spoiler\|It’s subverted at the end of the chapter where Ichigo pulls the [[Just Friends]] line on Kendra, seemingly not knowing that she thought of him in that way, and tells Orihime that [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming\|she’s his girl]]}} * [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Happens so often that counting would be meaningless. It's not always predictable, though. Line 85 ⟶ 78: ** The reason for this is because {{spoiler\|she's pregnant}} * [[Big Sister Instinct]]: {{spoiler\|Hisana. Who would've guessed?}} * [[Big "What?"]]: Ichigo and Keigo’s reaction to the fact that Mizuiro managed to have a lengthy phone conversation with {{spoiler\|[[The Silent Bob\|Ve]][[The Quiet One\|ra]]}}. * [[Blatant Lies]]: Lelouch does ''not'' have a sister complex! ** He also planned for Unohana to be his "secret weapon". It's obvious from the way he's saying it he just doesn't want to invoke her wrath. * [[Boobs of Steel]]: Talbumosuke noticed that among the Espada, a female arrancar is bustier the more powerful she is. * [[Brass Balls]]: [[Lampshade Hanging\|Lampshaded]] in the narration about Needles having to have some kind of balls to show his face anywhere near Ichigo after [[Attempted Rape\|what]] [[Berserk Button\|happened]] [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown\|last time]] * [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Kukaku and {{spoiler\|her Zanpakuto spirit}} have a go at this in regards to [[Symbol Swearing]] * [[Break the Cutie]]: Mia wants to do this to {{spoiler\|Orihime}}, but is stopped before she can. Line 98 ⟶ 91: * [[Bridal Carry]]: {{spoiler\|Ichigo}} on {{spoiler\|Orihime}} in chapter 74. ** Lelouch on {{spoiler\|Susanna}} in chapter 99. * [[Bullying a Dragon]]: With a little bit of [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu]] thrown in for good measure. Kaibun, Shuren and {{spoiler\|Kokuto}} are all guilty of doing this to poor Ichigo who, [[Super -Powered Evil Side\|because of his hollow]] becomes strong enough to wipe the floor with all of them. * [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: One must question the Soul King on allowing Lelouch's proposal to revolutionize the Soul Society using {{spoiler\|[[Cloudcuckoolander\|Orihime]]}} as a judge ** [[Alternative Character Interpretation\|Or he could be a]] [[Magnificent Bastard]] and figured Lelouch's plan would succeed and somehow benefits from {{spoiler\|the complete alteration of the Soul Society's legal system}}. Line 111 ⟶ 104: * [[Catapult Nightmare]]: Lelouch is subject to this every time he has a really bad dream. ** {{spoiler\|Talbumosuke}} too, but only in an omake. * [[Cerebus Rollercoaster]]: Was lighthearted then it got dark, then it got less dark with the Winter War, and then it got ~~<i>~~'' really ~~</i>~~'' dark with the Reapers and Heralds arc and now it seems to be back to being light for a little while. [[Running Gag\|Then]] [[It Got Worse\|it got REALLY DARK]]! * [[Chekhov's Boomerang]]: In chapter 72 Chizuru [[It Makes Sense in Context\|throws a fake rock onto an ice rink to force Ichigo and Orihime apart]] and [[Epic Fail\|fails miserbly]] to do so. The second half of the now broken rock is tripped over later in the chapter by Susanna and she stumbles into Lelouch’s arms. * [[Chekhov's Gun]]: That flying device that Yoruichi had? Yeah, Lelouch uses it to {{spoiler\|''kill Aizen''}}. Line 120 ⟶ 113: * [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Natsumi Taka, a character only briefly seen in the series back in chapter 16, is reused as {{spoiler\|the character who gives Ginjo his Soul Reaper powers, but is dead by the time this is mentioned}} * [[Chess Motifs]]: It's a [[Code Geass]] fanfic. Duh. * [[Christmas Episode]]: The aptly named ch 72 [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin\|Lelouch's White Chirstmas]] * [[Circles of Hell]] * [[~~Colour~~ Color-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Zero and the Phantoms of Justice. * [[Combat Pragmatist]]: According to Mia, most arrancar have a similar philosophy. * [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Rukia says that she'll replace Byakuya's flowers when her rabbit eats them, before {{spoiler\|Hisana }} calls her on this. {{quote\| '''Eien Tamashi''': Pick one, or, if you prefer, make a harem. Just make it so I'm not sweltering because a girl you like set off your reproductive organs.~~<br />~~ '''Lelouch''': I didn't think Zanpakuto could be affected by temperature.~~<br />~~ '''Eien Tamashi''': You're missing the point! }} Yoruichi during her [[Naked First Impression]] to Ichigo with Lelocuh present {{quote\| '''Yoruichi''' (to Lelouch): What's thins? Like what you see? Well at least you're not acting like Byakuya-bo. When I first revealed this to him the first thing out of his mouth was--~~<br />~~ '''Ichigo''': GAH WOULD YOU [[Please Put Some Clothes On~~\|PLEASE PUT SOME CLOTHES ON~~]]?!~~<br />~~ '''Yoruichi''': Wow that was exactly it and you weren't even there, Ichigo.~~<br />~~ '''Lelouch''': [[Lampshade Hanging\|I think you're kind of missing the point there Yoruichi]]. }} * [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler\|The Inked Alliance}} is {{spoiler\|not only}} responsible for the Soul Chess version of 9/11{{spoiler\|, but also responsible for Ginjo's [[Start of Darkness]] by pointlessly breaking into his house and killed his mother and girlfriend Natsumi.}} Line 140 ⟶ 133: ** In chapter 53, Hisana tells Lelouch that if the Head Captain wanted his input he'd ask for it directly. In chapter 70, Yamamoto asks Lelouch to {{spoiler\|Lead the battle against Talbumosuke as the tactician}}. * [[Creator Cameo]]: Both the omake writer and the author appear in the 100th chapter omake. [[Author Avatar\|Sort of]] * [[Creator in In-Joke]]: The 100th chapter omake has [[Black Lagoon\|Revy and Rock]] in the beginning complaining about being forgotten about in homage to a collaboration between the omake writer and the author: [[Black Lagoon\|Lagoon]] [[Highschool of the Dead\|of the dead]]. * [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Happens every now and then. Some are done well others...not so much * [[Darkest Hour]]: [[Wham! Episode\|Chapter 123]]. {{spoiler\|[[The Bad Guy Wins\|Aizen WON]], Seireitei is conquered, Captain-Commander Yamamoto is [[Oh Crap\|DEAD]], and Unohana is captured by the enemy. To put it simply, [[HSQ\|HOLY SHIT!!!]]}} * [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Like in Bleach, there are elements of it in the story, but it's rarely played completely straight. * [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: In chapter 33, while two characters are getting it on, the author says that one would possessively possess the other. * [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Kukaku suddenly has a [[Shout -Out\|Capsule]] [[~~Dragonball~~Dragon Ball\|Corp]] style car when the group needs transportation. * [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Lelouch thinks that he's invincible because {{spoiler\|he saw himself as a captain}}. [[Word of God]] says that it's a parallel to teenagers who think that they're bullet-proof, and completely immune to addiction of any kind. In chapter 53, Hisana lampshades the following conversation {{quote\| '''Rangiku''': Are you sure it's a good idea to stick it in bare like that?~~<br />~~ '''Renji''': Only if you don't have a glove }} [[It Makes Sense in Context]] since they're trying to get Kon's pill out of his plush body and Renji doesn't have on of those special skull symbol gloves, which is the glove he's referring to. In chapter 64, while [[Vampiric Draining\|having his reiatsu absorbed by Mia]] {{quote\| '''Kaien''': Wh-what is this that I'm feeling? I have nothing, but contempt for this woman...but...my body...it's reacting to her. She's…she sucking me dry.}} On September ~~11th~~11, 2001 atb, A pair of hijacked planes hit a pair of towers in [[Big Applesauce\|Britannian Yorkshire]], a plane is shot down by anti-air cannons about to hit Pendragon (The plane that hit the pentagon) and one crashed in the middle of the Jamison Province (Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania). * [[~~Door Stopper~~Doorstopper]]: At over one million words at the time of writing, this definitely qualifies. * [[Driven to Suicide]]: Several Togabito because Lelouch and the others mention Rita and she’s supposed to be a myth. And they’re the good guys. {{quote\| '''Shinji''': [[Lampshade Hanging\|We are bastards]].}} * [[Dungeon Bypass]]: The second [[Circles of Hell\|circle of hell]] is a fighting arena where, those who want to test their skill, or explore the lower regions, must fight for their lives. Upon the reveal that Kokuto is the [[Asskicking Equals Authority\|187th strongest]], the other fighters [[Bring My Brown Pants\|give up before the match starts]]. * [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: Ikumi Unagiya appears in chapter 72 while the Arrancar dilemma is still the main plot line. * [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Chapter 50, although the story isn't quite over yet. {{spoiler\|[[Word of God]] states that at that point it isn't even a THIRD done.}} * [[Enemy Mine]]: Zero becomes this after [[It Was His Sled\|Aizen fakes his death]], before the big reveal. Line 166 ⟶ 159: * [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: See [[Lets Fight Like Gentleman]] below * [[Executive Meddling]]: A meta-example. The author and the writer of the omakes are not the same person and sometimes the author edits the omake to suit his fancy, much to the omake writer's chagrin. * [[Explain, Explain, Oh Crap]]: When prompted by Hisana, Gin starts to state what {{spoiler\|Muramasa}}’s next move is. The use of this trope comes when he realizes that it’s {{spoiler\|the liberation of Kenpachi’s Zanpakuto}}. ** Tsukishima’s reaction when asked whose dumb idea it was to {{spoiler\|have all of his brainwashed victims stand outside where Lelouch could geass them}}. The responsibility falls on {{spoiler\|Urahara}} which makes Tsukishima realize {{spoiler\|Urahara is a [[Fake Defector]]}}. * [[Expy]]: Chapter 124 gives us one of [[Resident Evil\|Albert Wesker]]. * [[Family -Unfriendly Death]]: Seen a few times {{spoiler\|most notably with the Fullbringers}}. * [[Fan Service]]: Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in Mia's case, seen throughout the series in the form of Lemons and heavily lampshaded and mocked in the Halloween Omake * [[Fan Disservice]]: Going straight from {{spoiler\|Lelouch and Nemu getting it on}} [[Mood Whiplash\|to a flashback of]] {{spoiler\|Mayuri having a hollow rape Nemu}}. ** Chi Kamisori molesting Vera in chapter 101. [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot\|girl on girl might be hot and all]] but the scene just has a side order of [[Nightmare Fuel]] with its order. * [[Fan Dumb]]: The author has noted several people still think that Tosen is on Aizen's side despite the fact that {{spoiler\|Lelouch revealed to Tosen that Aizen deceived him.}} * [[Fetish]]: Apparently, Lelouch likes having a sex slave, although that [[Magnificent Bastard\|really shouldn't]] [[Manipulative Bastard\|be a surprise]], [[Dark Messiah\|considering how]] [[Necessarily Evil\|he acts]] [[The Chessmaster\|on a regular basis]]. ** Apparently Rangiku and Haineko go both have an anal fetish. Go figure. * [[Five -Bad Band]]: As of the Reapers and Heralds arc: [[Big Bad]]: Muramasa [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler\|Zangetsu}} Line 182 ⟶ 175: [[The Brute]]: {{spoiler\|Fumetsu Seishin no Senso}} [[The Dark Chick]]: Unknown but most likely Haineko. {{spoiler\|[[It Got Worse\|Scratch that it's]] Minazuki.}} * [[Five -Man Band]]: Outlined by [[One of Us\|the author]] in chapter 51. Ichigo is [[The Hero]], Tatsuki is [[The Lancer]], Uryu is [[The Smart Guy]], Chad is [[The Big Guy]] and Orihime is [[The Chick]]. The reinforcements from soul society have Lelouch as [[The Hero]], {{spoiler\|Hisana and Kaien}} are [[The Lancer]], {{spoiler\|Kukaku}} and Renji represent [[The Big Guy]], and Rukia, Susanna and Rangiku are [[The Chick\|chicks]]. Orihime suggested that if he turned out to be a nice guy, Shinji could be the [[Sixth Ranger]]. As of chapter 60, he officially becomes this ** In the Different Bonds arc: Ichigo is [[The Hero]], Tatsuki and Chad are both [[The Lancer]], Lelouch is [[The Smart Guy]], Kendra is [[The Big Girl]], Susanna is [[The Chick]]. Kokuto and {{spoiler\|Kasumi}} are both [[Sixth Ranger~~\|Sixth Rangers~~]]s and the former is a {{spoiler\|[[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]}}. * [[Fix Fic]]: Lelouch sets out to turn this into one. * [[Flat What]]: Ichigo's reaction to {{spoiler\|[[It Makes Sense in Context\|Kaien kidnapping Rukia]]}}. Line 203 ⟶ 196: In chapter 22 Lelouch mentions, offhandedly, that he believes that a clean slate for a reincarnated soul has fragments that can never truly be lost. Skip ahead to chapter 85 when this becomes a plot point. Not only does Unohana [[Call Back\|throw out her hair behind her to show her signs of being serious in combat]], but in chapter 94 it’s explained why she does it. {{spoiler\|Unohana used to have her hair cascade down all the time. This was when she was an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Blood Knight]]. By throwing her hair back she is reliving those moments}}. In chapter 74 it's narrated that Shisato and Ikkaku's [[Did They or Didn't They?\|supposed hookup]] would stay where it occurred [[Exact Words\|for now]]. Cue [[The Reveal]] in chapter 94 that {{spoiler\|Shisato is pregnant with Ikkaku's child}}. In chapter 73 it's mentioned that Lelouch might respond to the call of vigilantism again and at the during the Lelouch and the Law arc he tells Byakuya he'd always help him out in anyway he could if he needed it. {{spoiler\|in chapter 99 it's revealed that Lelouch and Byakuya are working together against Muramasa, while [[Fake Defector\|pretending]] to betray the Soul Society}}. Ichigo's comment in chapter 106 when Isshin is going to an overseas trip for a medical conference for a week pretty much said it all. {{quote\| '''Ichigo''': "Dad, nothing's going to happen relax. You're acting like [[Foregone Conclusion\|Britannia's going to invade the country]] or [[Tempting Fate\|creatures from the depths of hell are going to rise up and attack us]]."}} In chapter 123 Rita brings out a soul that has been unwilling to be reincarnated and uses it to some degree. In 124 that soul appears and Shinji recognizes {{spoiler\|her}}. This is all leading up to [[The Reveal]] that {{spoiler\|the soul in question is the consciousness of Mari who has been brought [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]] temporarily in order to kick some butt}}. * [[For Want of a Nail]]: Inverted. {{spoiler\|The series basically inserts Lelouch into Bleach 126 years ago}}. Major changes have happened to [[The Stations of the Canon]] of [[Bleach]] as a result. Of course... ** [[In Spite of a Nail]]: That doesn't mean anything worth a damn for {{spoiler\|The [[Code Geass]] universe}} due to the {{spoiler\|[[Temporal Paradox]]}}. Makes it blatantly impossible to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]] * [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]]: The "Ask Eien Tamashi" segments of the Newsletters. * [[Freudian Slip]]: "Six, '''SIX!'''" * [[Fusion Dance]]: {{spoiler\|Mia and Cirucci were [[Biological Mashup\|fused together]] to [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead\|revive Mia]]}} * [[Genre Savvy]]: While heavily outclassed in this department by people like Lelouch, Kaien does realise and suspect that an enemy building could be booby-trapped. * [[Genre Shift]]: The series turns into a Courtroom Drama for an entire arc. * [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot]]: [[Covert Pervert\|Lelouch]] certainly seems to think so. * [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: In a [[Take Out Word For It]] fashion with Hisana's [[Played for Laughs\|comical]] [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]] of {{spoiler\|Her Zanpakuto}} ** A less than humorous example is {{spoiler\|the beating Yachiru received from her Zanpakuto}}. Considering she's just a child it's probably better that way. * [[Graceful Loser]]: {{spoiler\|Talbumosuke}} Line 228 ⟶ 221: * [[Heroic Second Wind]]: Whenever this happens to your opponent, just start praying. * [[Homage]]: [[Word of God]] continuously says that {{spoiler\|Hollow Ichigo’s rampage and Yamamoto’s subsequent fight with him}} is in direct correlation to Doomsday Vs the Justice League followed by Superman’s brutal battle with him. * [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler\|Tatsuki}} does this to a togabito in chapter 124. * [[How We Got Here]]: Chapter 120 starts with Rangiku cornered as she’s [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~It's Not Awesome?\|prosecuting a trial]] and then flashbacks to show the incident that happened to bring her to this point. * [[I Have Your Wife]]: Though {{spoiler\|Yuna}} isn't {{spoiler\|Lelouch's}} wife and actually {{spoiler\|his captain}} it's the same effect played by {{spoiler\|Hoshima}}. ** A few chapters later {{spoiler\|Lelouch}} pulls this on {{spoiler\|Gin}} by taking {{spoiler\|Rangiku}}. Once again no marriage, but the effect is still the same. * [[I Knew It!]]: Many fans speculated that {{spoiler\|Lelouch's bankai would look like his Zero suit}} They were right. ** Others speculated that Kasumi was {{spoiler\|The Number One Togabito}}. They were also right. * [[In Spite of a Nail]]: A [[Code Geass]] historical example. In spite of the changes in history 9/11 still happens * [[Irony]]: Rukia openly trashes Lelouches fashion sense when he reveals the uniforms for their group, despite the fact that her... "artistic abilities" are a bit of a [[Running Gag]]. Tatsuki takes time in the middle of battle to mock her opponent and point out that [[What an Idiot!\|talking is not]] [[Talking Is a Free Action\|a free action]]. Aizen mocks Shinji for not watching him more closely... and then makes the exact same mistake with Lelouch. When {{spoiler\|Byakuya sides with her against Hisana}}, Rukia is taken by surprise. Line 253 ⟶ 246: {{spoiler\|Ichigo is taken under Eien Tamashi's control and Ryujin Jakka is set loose}} A lot of readers have already begun crying [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]] because of this. As has Gin in-universe. It’s really becoming a case of [[Only the Author Can Save Them Now]] * {{spoiler\|And he DOES in a way that doesn't come across as [[Deus Ex Machina]] or an [[~~Authors~~Author's Saving Throw]] as the whole thing was one big [[Xanatos Roulette]] by, as it should come to no ones surprise, [[The Chessmaster\|Lelouch]]}} ** See [[Darkest Hour]] above. * [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: In chapter 61, Gin states that if he doesn't make it, he wants Lelouch to take care of Rangiku. ** {{spoiler\|Tatsuki almost states this word for word to Ichigo when she finds out that he and Orihime are a couple}} * [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]]: When they {{spoiler\|encounter Zaraki}}, Kukaku says that Ichigo will die in less than six minutes. In that episode of bleach, the episode ends six minutes later. * [[Les Yay]]: As of chapter 30 {{spoiler\|Yoruichi and Soifon}} are officially a couple. * [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen]]: Because Ichigo is Isshin's son, {{spoiler\|Kaien}} invokes this when fighting him. Line 271 ⟶ 264: * {{spoiler\|[[Marry Them All]]: Lelouch starts a clan and marries [[The Woobie\|Nemu]], [[Undying Loyalty\|Susanna]], [[Statuesque Stunner\|Isane]], and [[First Girl Wins\|Yuna]].}} ** {{spoiler\|Subverted as of chapter 105}} * [[Mass "Oh Crap"]]: The reaction of the Espada in the omake where it’s revealed {{spoiler\|[[All Just a Dream\|in a dream]] that Kenpachi obtained Bankai}}. * [[Mind Screw]]: Mia. Considering who she really is, though, it's to be expected. * [[Missed Moment of Awesome]]: Kendra, Stefan, Yosei, Naomi and Yolanda all handing the Bounts their asses in between the events of chapters 110 and 111. Line 286 ⟶ 279: == Tropes N to S == * [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The more intelligent espada have so far refused to go anywhere near Kisuke and Lelouch, with good reason. * [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: One of the reasons {{spoiler\|Lelouch went back in time}} is that Aizen {{spoiler\|destroyed the cleaner.}} ** Averted, actually, since {{spoiler\|Aizen's dead}}. [[Word of God]] says that it was actually ''Orihime'' who made it possible when she stopped the cleaner from killing the Nakama on their way to soul society. * [[No Fourth Wall]]: In the chapter 83 omake you would think everyone's name was [[Deadpool]] * [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: Mayuri isn't a lucky guy, in this fic. {{spoiler\|Zommari received one of these from [[Knight Templar Big Brother\|Hisana]] for [[Berserk Button\|harming Rukia]]}} Ichigo breaks out into this when {{spoiler\|he finds Needles and his goons [[Attempted Rape\|attempting to rape]] Orihime}}. Line 300 ⟶ 293: One can only imagine what kind of trouble Isshin stirred up at the 1997 national medical convention considering Ichigo told him to keep his hands off the nurses at the one he starts to go to at the beginning of the Different Bonds arc. Considering this is [[Dirty Old Man\|Isshin]]... Kendra mentions she needed to swap her Gikongan with Urahara. This trope’s use is implied as to the reason why she switched it. * [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]]: A meta example. [[Word of God\|According the author]] he writes every chapter with only a vague idea of what he wants to do and other than the one word document used to actually write the chapter he doesn't have any drafts or copies of the chapter at the time of writing unless he had a scene planned out in advance and even then there's only one copy of that particular scene. * [[Not Again]]: The reaction from several fans whenever there's a yuricentric omake. * [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: Actually the title of one of the omakes and it is properly named since {{spoiler\|Kenpachi is stated to have learned Bankai and his Zanpakuto spirit looks like Chuck Norris}}. All of the Espada, Talbumosuke and Gin start freaking out. It turns out though that {{spoiler\|It was [[All Just a Dream]] of Talbumosuke’s}}, but [[It Gets Worse\|then]] [[Dragonball Z\|Mr. Popo]] shows up. [[Dragon Ball Abridged\|The]] [[Scary Black Man\|other]] [[Humanoid Abomination\|one]]. * [[Not Quite Dead]]: Double subverted. {{spoiler\|Yuna lives just long enough to say goodbye}}. * [[Non Sequitur Thud]]: Yammy in chapter 76. Oh dear god were those statements completely unlinked. * [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler\|Grimmjow/Nelliel as the King and Queen of Hueco Mundo. Mia/Talbumosuke [[Together in Death]]. Kaien/Rukia as the two are now married same for Byakuya/Hisana and Ichigo/Orihime seems to be headed in this direction unless Tatsuki joins in for ana [[OTOne 3True Threesome]]}}. * [[Oh Crap]]: Ikkaku flips out when Shisato abandons him to Yachiru. ** Cornelia's face in chapter 58 when she realizes her infantile brother Lelouch is missing. Line 312 ⟶ 305: * [[Panty Shot]]: On Rangiku via Lelouch. * [[Pass the Popcorn]]: Kukaku acts like this for most of Ichigo's fight with {{spoiler\|Kaien}}. * [[Phantom Thief]]: Practically all of the phantoms of justice are like this, rather the organization as a whole is. Except they don't steal. [[Asshole Victim\|they just torture nobles]], [[Training the Peaceful Villagers\|make friends with the Rukongai]], [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking\|and slay hollows the Soul Society can't get to]]. * [[Plot Induced Stupidity]]: Lelouch could have just [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?\|Geassed Aizen into admiting what he did,]] ''and knew it,'' but chose not to. That said, he does have some very solid reasoning for it. {{spoiler\|Fixed as of chapter 48. Lelouch Geassed Aizen into suicide}}. Despite running into ''Kurosaki'' Ichigo and {{spoiler\|Fon Shaolin}}, Rukia can't seem to figure out that there are people she knows in this town. * [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]]: Dropped to amplify the [[Rule of Cool]]. * [[Precision F -Strike]]: Get dropped when [[Gosh Darn It to Heck\|softer language]] just won't cut it or [[Sir Swearsalot\|the character is particularly known for foul language]] * [[Pre -Mortem One -Liner]]: See [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]] above * [[Prison Rape]]: A threat that Kendra and Yosei often employ when interrogating a suspect in a way that makes one reminiscent of [[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]. * [[Properly Paranoid]]: As can be expected, Lelouch fits this to a T. {{spoiler\|Subverted with Aizen, who, despite being suspicious, hasn't acted directly against Lelouch yet.}} Fixed. {{spoiler\|Aizen tried to get Tousen to kill Lelouch.}} Guess he decided not to take any chances. Ichigo in chapter 69 when Tatsuki tells him that Orihime went off on her own before class starts he immediately assumes something bad will happen to Orihime and goes after her. {{spoiler\|It’s a [[Attempted Rape\|good thing he did]]}} * [[Punctuated! ~~for~~For! Emphasis!]]: Sees its fair share of use * Rape as Comedy: Rangiku [[Ass Shove\|preparing to shove a stick up Haineko]] is used as this. * [[Rape Asas Drama]]: Mayuri {{spoiler\|had a hollow [[Squick\|impregnate Nemu]]}}. ** {{spoiler\|seen again in chapter 69 when Needles and his goons [[Attempted Rape\|attempt to do this to Orihime]]. Thankfully Ichigo put a stop to it}}. * [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: [[Mind Rape]] in this case, but it's the same thing. Starrk notes that he can tolerate watching Lilynette be overpowered or injured, but this trope is another story entirely. ** {{spoiler\|Ichigo seems to go a lot [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown\|more mental than usual]] when he [[Attempted Rape\|stops Needles and his goons from raping Orihime.]]}} * [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: In universe. Due to how what is going through Ichigo's life at this point, he and Shinji greatly divert from the canon fight scene of [[Gurren Lagann\|Kamina/Viral]] and put their own spin on the fight and by adding REAL weapons into their acting and it could be seen as a continuation of Ichigo's real life training as a Visored. ** [[Word of God\|draconichero20]] says that some of what happens to him in real life winds up being reflected in the series, not that we’d know either way. Line 336 ⟶ 329: * [[Real Person Fic]]: Discussed in the ch 107 omake about Yoruichi and Soifon’s relationship, though it’s merely a comparison drawn between their relationship and [[Mahou Sensei Negima\|Konoka]] [[Schoolgirl Lesbians\|and]] [[Bodyguard Crush\|Setsuna]] * [[Redshirt Army]]: A whole bunch of characters come out during the {{spoiler\|Aizen’s Revenge}} arc to {{spoiler\|buy Byakuya enough time so he can escape to live to fight another day}}. * [[Reference Overdosed]]: There are A LOT of entries for the [[Shout -Out]] trope * {{spoiler\|[[Reincarnation Romance]]}}: Lelouch and {{spoiler\|Yuna}} * [[Rule of Funny]]: The omakes. * [[Running Gag]]: Kukaku once asked Lelouch if getting himself hospitalized was going to become a routine. As of chapter 32 it has happened 3 times. Eien Tamashi always says "clueless" when Lelouch gets confused about why women always act strange around him. When she says this in regards to {{spoiler\|Isane}}, he instantly understands. In chapter 74 Eien Tamashi is apparently notes how [[Mr. Fanservice\|Izuru, Shuhei, Renji and Ukitake]] singing [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall\|would ellict screaming from a lot of fangirls]]. Ichigo mistaking Spanish terms for different types of food Kukaku throws a party after every major victory and Kaien groans because he knows there is going to be property damage and chaos, [[Fridge Logic\|most likely because the expenses are going to come out of his pocket]]. Line 348 ⟶ 341: * [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Kasumi the [[Evil Is Sexy\|hot as hell]] Togabito that helped Ichigo turns out to be {{spoiler\|The Number One Togabito}} whose gender is ambiguous as no one knew it. * [[Sex Is Violence]]: One of the Omakes has Unohana mentioning that she would have to beat the shit out of Zaraki before she could do anything. * [[Sidetracked Byby the Analogy]]: Rita in ch 125 {{quote\| '''Rita''': You give a man and you feed him for a day. You teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime. [[Comically Missing the Point\|Unless of course he sucks at fishing even after he's learned]].}} * [[Ship Sinking]]: [[Ichi Ruki]] fans better turn away because as of chapter 54, it officially sinks! {{spoiler\|Rukia is engaged to Kaien.}} {{quote\| '''Ichigo''': Wow. That's really something. I never knew. I'm happy for you Rukia. You two are good for each other.~~<br />~~ '''Rukia''': Better than you and I would do together at any rate.~~<br />~~ '''Ichigo''': Yeah that's for sure. }} * [[Ship Tease]]: The author is still keeping us in suspense with Lelouch's love life. {{spoiler\|Ichigo seems to have been cemented with Orihime}} Line 362 ⟶ 355: ** Confirmed by chapter 54. * [[Shoot the Bullet]]: Uryu and Yolanda in chapter 42. Quite Literally with Uryu. * [[Shout -Out]]: Now has its own page [[Soul Chess/Shout Out\|Soul Chess]] * [[Shown Their Work]]: The author does this a lot, even going so far as to explain what would have happened had Lelouch not been involved. * [[Single Tear]]: Despite not thinking he could, Lelouch does this when he realizes {{spoiler\|how much Susanna cares for him}}. Line 368 ⟶ 361: ** Yamamoto knows that something is up with Ichigo {{spoiler\|during the demon within arc}} because he is referred to by his proper title rather than the less than respectful “gii-san”. * [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: {{spoiler\|Treva Hoshina}} -> Aizen {{spoiler\|-> Talbumosuke -> Muramasa -> [[Fan Nickname\|Shirosaki]] -> Ginjo -> AIZEN}} for now. * [[Spanner in ~~The~~the Works]]: Once again things blow up in Lelouch’s face as {{spoiler\|it turns out Hollow Ichigo is sentient when he goes on his rampage. Lelouch didn’t think he would be}}. * [[Spit Take]]: Soifon after watching the news about {{spoiler\|a year old, Eleventh Prince, [[Fish Out of Temporal Water\|Lelouch vi Britannia]]}}. * [[Stop Helping Me!]]: {{spoiler\|Lelouch fully intends get punished for his actions as Zero and goes as far to geassing Ichigo and talking down Momo to stop from trying to bust him free.}} * [[Story Arc]]: [[Word of God]] has split the story into Character arcs within arcs. Lelouch's Story Arc: Chapters 1-9 are the Awakening Arc. 10-14 is the Prelude to the Chess Game.

[[Word of God]] doesn't want them put here on the off chance [[Aborted Arc\|things go awry]] * [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Ichigo and Tatsuki notice how Rukia and Hisana look almost identical, and of course everyone still comments on how uncanny the resemblance is between Ichigo and Kaien. Line 394 ⟶ 387: * {{spoiler\|[[The Baby Trap]]}}: Averted by {{spoiler\|Susanna}}, who doesn't want to do this to {{spoiler\|Lelouch}}. Zig-zagged, because it works anyway. ** {{spoiler\|And now [[Convenient Miscarriage\|the baby is gone]]}} * [[The Cameo]]: Many in the omakes including [[Friday the ~~Thirteenth~~13th\|Jason]], [[Ghost Rider]], [[Queen\|Freddie Mercury]], [[Michael Jackson]], [[Billy Idol]], and even [[Dragonball Z\|Mr.]] [[Dragon Ball Abridged\|Po]][[Scary Black Man\|po]] In the 100th chapter omake [[Tite Kubo]], [[Stephenie Meyer]], [[~~JRR~~J. ~~Tolkien~~R. ~~(Creator)~~R. Tolkien\|JRR Tolkien]], [[JKJ. K. Rowling]], [[Terry Pratchett]] and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ~~(Animation)~~\|all of the main ponies]] make an appearance. [[Deadpool]] and Pinkie Pie are the hosts. * [[Black Lagoon\|Rock and Revy]] make an appearance in that same omake at the very beginning ** In the special Christmas omake [[Naruto]] appears. Line 404 ⟶ 397: * [[There Are No Therapists]]: Well, not since the budget cuts. * [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Uryu used Licht Regen... on Shawlong. ** Lelouch's defeats {{spoiler\|Szayel by restraining him with Bakudo Kido, GEASSING HIM TO [[And I Must Scream\|"NEVER MOVE AGAIN"]], and finally [[Mind Rape~~\|Mind Rapes~~]]s him till his [[Your Head Asplode\|HEAD EXPLODES]]!}} * [[The Rival]]: Grimmjow and Ichigo explicitly decide to become this to each other in chapter 66 * [[The Starscream]]: Baraggan natch. * [[The Thirty -Six Stratagems]]: As seen thus far in the series: {{spoiler\|Talbumosuke}} pulls #1 off rather well using the [[The Stations of the Canon\|canonical]] [[Bleach\|kidnapping of Orihime]] to test the [[Power of Friendship]] of Ichigo and his nakama Aizen uses #4 {{spoiler\|in the Aizen’s Revenge arc}} knowing that {{spoiler\|Lelouch has to bring the counterattack to him. He does send Vanguard out to meet Kenpachi and Ichigo head on though}}. Line 429 ⟶ 422: * [[The Worf Barrage]]: Lelouch tries everything he can think of to take down {{spoiler\|Nnoitora}}. It doesn't work. Coupled with [[Worf Had the Flu]] since he had the Gentai Rein. {{spoiler\|That is until Lelouch discovered his bankai, then it became a [[Curb Stomp Battle]].}} * [[The Worf Effect]]: Gets used regularly, though that's to be expected. * [[This Cannot Be!]]: Frequented in use by the villains or anyone losing a battle. Mia utters this almost word for word when Kaien [[Heroic Second Wind\|gets his second wind]] during their third battle. In one battle {{spoiler\|against Baraggan}} [[Dangerously Genre Savvy\|Talbumosuke]] mocks the use of this trope {{quote\| '''Talbumosuke''': See this is why you would never make a good leader. Uttering lines like that is just [[Tempting Fate\|begging to be killed]].}} * [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]: After all of the abuse, [[Butt Monkey\|Keigo]] finally gets to spend some time with Ichigo. * [[Title Drop]]: In chapter 98, Lelouch claims to be playing a game of Soul Chess. * [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Jirobo Ikkanzaka, natch. Line 446 ⟶ 439: * [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Lelouch and his Zanpakuto {{spoiler\|Eien Tamashi}} are easily this. The amount of times they aren’t bickering can be counted on one hand. * [[WAFF]]: A lot of moments are like this and some double as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] * [[Was It All a Lie?]]: {{spoiler\|Yuna}} asks this of {{spoiler\|Lelouch}} after {{spoiler\|he betrays her, and the Soul Society, to Muramasa. What she doesn’t know is that Lelouch is a [[Fake Defector]] and is only acting like an [[Jerkass\|asshole]] to keep his cover safe}} * [[Wham! Episode]]: Chapter 48, the finale to the Eye of the Storm arc. {{spoiler\|Look at the below trope.}} {{spoiler\|Ikkaku’s dead? No...no Ikkaku can’t die. He’ll be fine right? Get up, laugh it off, get a head butt or two and drink with Iba-san? DAMN YOU TALBUMOSUKE!}} At the end of chapter 77, Urahara {{spoiler\|releases his Bankai}} Line 457 ⟶ 450: {{spoiler\|[[Face Heel Turn\|Keigo joins Xcution]]}} Chapter 120 is mainly a [[Take That]] to the Reigai arc {{spoiler\|[[Oh Crap\|and it ends with Aizen's return]].}} ** Okay all of these previous examples pale in comparison to this one. In chapter 123 {{spoiler\|Yamamoto dies and Unohana is defeated}}. Cue [[Atomic F -Bomb]] and [[Oh Crap]] reactions from the fandom. * [[Wham! Line]]: From chapter 14 {{spoiler\|Soifon (to Yoruichi): "I'm coming with you"}}. At that point canon just went out the window. And then of course we get this reveal from chapter 17. {{spoiler\|CC (to Lelouch): "Have we met before?"}}. This troper stared at his computer screen for a few minutes after that one. {{spoiler\|Aizen! Kill yourself!}} (Note that he learned from his mistake with Mao). Line 470 ⟶ 463: From Kendra to Ichigo that he’s {{spoiler\|[[Dead All Along]] or rather, ever since he came back from being [[Brought Down to Normal]] back in chapter 39}} Kasumi’s [[Badass Boast]] in chapter 110 revealing that she is {{spoiler\|[[Final Boss Preview\|The most powerful Togabito]]}}. * [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~It's Not Awesome?]]: Keigo is ''the first person ever'' to beat the video game Demons and Devils. If he wasn't [[World of Badass\|surrounded by awesomeness]], it would have made a much bigger impresion. ** Lelouch's court battle. [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshaded]] by the author. * [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: The Phantoms {{spoiler\|almost abandon Lelouch over the purge,}} but he talks his way out of it. Hisana delivers this to {{spoiler\|Lelouch}} along with her [[Armor -Piercing Slap]]. Ichigo chews out {{spoiler\|Lelouch for not helping him rescue Orihime}} * He does the same thing to {{spoiler\|Soifon}} later that same chapter. * Ironically for him {{spoiler\|Both of them showed up anyway during the rescue to bail him out}} * [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Kukaku's plan to help her and Ichigo land safely. * [[~~Whos~~Who's Onon First?]]: Done in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] omake {{quote\| '''Renji''': I'm just going to go ahead and summon Something.~~<br />~~ '''Kaien''': Okay, what is it?.~~<br />~~ '''Renji''': It's Something.~~<br />~~ '''Kaien''': I get that, but what is it?~~<br />~~ '''Renji''': Something.~~<br />~~ '''Kaien''': Look the card has a name, right?~~<br />~~ '''Renji''': Yes.~~<br />~~ '''Kaien''': And the name of the card is…~~<br />~~ '''Renji''': Something.~~<br />~~ '''Kaien''': frustrated No, you know what? Forget it. Let's just play. }} * [[Willfully Weak]]: The Espada in the Battle of Karakura arc. According to Ulquiorra and Kira, Talbumosuke wants the Espada to remain in Resurreccion. If they find themselves hard pressed they should flee. [[Word of God]] has confirmed this, saying that this is part of a grand scheme of Talbumosuke’s to gather information on the enemy in battle and then go in with an actual plan with his army at full strength. Line 505 ⟶ 498: * [[You Need to Get Laid]]: Eien Tamashi certainly thinks so. ** It finally happens in chapter 33. * [[Younger Than They Look]]: Played with. To avoid giving Karin ideas that [[~~May December~~May–December Romance\|she should get married to Isshin]], {{spoiler\|Hisana}} says she's [[Blatant Lies\|only 30 years old]]. While physically she could possibly pass for that age we know she is [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old\|so much older]] * [[You Remind Me of X]]: When Keshiba asks Lelouch {{spoiler\|why Lelouch made him the orange phantom}}, Lelouch says that he reminds him of someone that he used to call by that name. ** Happened again when {{spoiler\|Lelouch first meets Orihime in chapter 56 and telling her how much she reminds him of Shirley so much that it left him in sadness before asking her to act as Shirley temporarily in order for Lelouch to have temporary peace before meeting Shirley again in 17 years time.}} {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Soul Chess~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~Trope~~Fanfic]] [[Category:Bleach/Fan Works]] [[Category:Code Geass/Fan Works]] [[Category:Crossover Fanfic]]
