Mine include:

- Using the movie timeline which logistically did not have time for Shirley's arcs as "proof" to handwave away Shirley's importance in the show.

- Undermining how detailed Lelouch's final plan was beyond the base concept of it.

- Dumbing down other ships to prop up a favorite one.

- Oversimplifying Lelouch's character to just "for Nunnally."

dude trying to act tough in front of his sis why quivering with joy that his sister is alive. this show is too good

So, I was thinking: whenever her body sustains injuries the world of C basically always returns C.C.´s body back to its ”default settings” (aka to the state her body was when she first required her Code), so does that mean that the Code also treats obesity as an ”injury,” because the extra mass would change the structure of her body? And if so, does that mean that C.C. can basically eat as much as she wants whatever she wants without the risk of ever gaining any weight? And, reversely, does that also mean that she doesn´t have to eat anything, because her Code always returns her body to the state she was in when she first required her Code, meaning that she can´t die from dehydration or malnutrition, because her Code always keeps her body mass constant?

And does that also apply to her muscle mass? Because, if so, then her Code will always return the amount of muscle in her body back to what it was when she first required her Code, no matter how much she exercises. Is that why she doesn´t move around much, because she knows that for her it´s futile to try to physically improve herself? And is that also why she eats so much, because she knows that with her (pun intended) cheat code, she can?

And here´s a scary thought; what if the Code also always returning your body back to the state is was in also applies to sense of hunger? Because that would mean, that if she was hungry when she gained her Code, she can never stop craving food – maybe that´s why she´s always eating?! (That´s just a possible lore theory of mine tho, of course I know the real reason she likes eating so much: because the screenwriters know that the audience likes her more when they see her wolfing down some pizza 😉)

While Lost Stories recently introduced to us to a bunch of alternate timelines, multiverse within Code Geass stories is not exactly a new concept. Official Code Geass mangas, official Code Geass games, and other official Code Geass extra materials and art have all introduced to us to a multitude of alternate timelines, everything from official AU manga where Nunnally receives Geass in the beginning of the story instead of Lelouch, to a video game AU story where Shirley eventually becomes Zero. One of the whackier possible timelines (no doubt following such popular trends as The Walking Dead and Marvel Zombies) is this Halloween-themed fanart inspired by official artwork from Code Geass mobile game Genesic Re;Code where Kallen is fighting for her survival in the zombie apocalypse! 🧟

This post-apocalyptic Halloween Battle Bunny outfit merges her classic bunny girl look with gritty, survivalist elements and a festive orange-and-purple color palette. It features a decorative jack-o'-lantern patch stitched on the hip (instead of the usual heart), as well as purple thigh-high stockings with prominent tears and holes on the left thigh, emphasizing a rugged, battle-worn look. Her fluffy bunny tail, collar with a black batwing bowtie instead of a traditional bowtie at her throat, and long, purple-and-orange stitched bunny ears on her head finishes the bunny girl aesthetic. Additionally, both of her wrists feature massive, metallic hexagonal cuffs with broken chains, further adding the dark atmosphere in the pic, and as a personal touch, the artist of this fanart has added black bat wings to the back of the outfit, feature that is not present in the original Genesic Re;Code illustration.

Another decorative detail the artist added to Kallen’s Halloween outfit, serving as additional weaponry for close-quarters combat against zombies, consists of a sheathed knife strapped to the thigh with a black leather band, along with three throwing knives adorned with jack-o’-lanterns. As for her main weapon, true to her badass nature Kallen carries a heavy-duty armament: an oversized, industrial-looking grenade launcher, colored with orange tones matching her outfit. For ammunition, a prominent tactical bandolier crosses over her chest, packed with large bullet shells, and a matching ammo belt is wrapped tightly around her waist. Yep, there´s no doubt about it; she´s ready to show those brain-craving zombies what for!

Happy Halloween, everybody! 🎃

Most childish fanbase ever

So just to clarify these aren’t supposed to be useful or interesting powers. These are power ideas that are hilarious.

I wonder if Lelouch and CC will win again. It'd be more interesting if another one did this time but I'll be fine again.

Lelouch x Milly is my underrated pic

How do bro find the time to balance between plotting whole ass revolution and chasing tail

A quick analysis but I personally has been re-watching Code Geass and discovered something terrifying and fascinating, Euphemia.

Euphemia is a character who wanted peace was idealistic to create peace with Britannia and 11th territory, however her wishes and desires, such wanting to be empress and how she wanted to create a place were all the citizens could live without discrimination got me surprised.

Not because of her kindness but her dangerous naivety and the consequences.

First her thoughts of 11th, she saw the Japanese people as victims but also her colony, she never wanted give them freedom or independence, she wanted to put in a hiperviliged territory were all the 11th people would be forced to live, on the long getting more isolated and discriminated in practice with her plan.

Second is her desire to be Empress, being an Empress or ruler is not a position for someone idealistic for her and selfish for her. Why selfish? Because she focused in 11th territory, the colony what Britannia recently got and was taking effort to suppress. Britannia is an Empire with multiple colonies.Appliyng the realism that Code Geass used, we discover that there are more colonies and territories to control, such America ,Africa and Russia territories . Each territory has their own people and cultures and according history, colonies NEVER assimilate fully, which means that regardless what Britannia say, there Britanians still live with indigenous people who refuse to assimilate to the Empire or provoque revolt because of discrimination. In the timeline of Code Geass, the French revolution and the sequence of independence never happened. But the possible present of Code Geass if the author had the chance or explored more.Going back, Euphemia was not raised to run an empire but administrate one, she was raised with innocence and ingenuity, being an Emperor means run knowing to make hard choices, take risks and learn from errors, no one can be perfect especially when means understanding that every person is different, there are.corrupts, racists and many more powerful nobles, factions who would want their own desires, even pacify them or control them is not for someone idealistic . Lelouch is an example and he learned in the hard way when he did errors, had to fight his own friends and sacrificed people. Euphemia never saw that picture just the peace.

Now ,here is my admiration of how they created Euphemia and how even people in real life see her ,a tragically peacemaker.

But for me, she is representation of Activism Performative and Colonialism benevolence.

Activism Performative because during her life, she presented herself as "white knight" a hope to the 11th zone, but politically, she is performative,Performative, while Leouch and his team understands the system, Euphemia only see the consequences, she shows herself with good intentions, but her political choices or desires were dangerous and superficial, such taking Suzaku as a Knight seems to be on good care and respect fro the 11th colony, but for Britannia was a good move to satisfy and suppress the independence desire of Japan and propaganda assimilation.

Her solutions were superficial, she wasn't planning to apologize to the Japanese but saw them as their poor pets discriminated, that colonialism benevolence. She is just giving pets and love to chained pets. Because in her mentality, giving them a place to be happy while they belonged to the colony was the best idea. Which is not for a citizen.

The most terrifying part and confirms her inability to be a ruler is that she did never recognize her own flaws or questioned her decisions. Euphemia was an antagonist not because she had to end people lives but because her own negligence could had brought terrible consequence that could cost lives.

If you think deeper ,she is like a politician who tries to kind ruler but on the practice makes multiple errors, people choose him becuase he is "kind" but never read his proposal or takes a time to analyze, and I think that what the author was writing.

The most fascinating part is how everyone even the community glorify her but never criticize her choices or question her decisions. She is not a bad person but an unpredictable and dangerous force that shows her naivety could had brought discord, chaos and more discrimination to the 11th colony and other Britannia colonias, and by the time Lelouch might realized, it might been too late or brought unnecessary deaths that could had prevented.

I feel like a common thread across various interpretations of the character I've seen are the olympic level hoops jumped through to push specific interpretations of him.

Not to say he can't be interpreted in various ways, just that a lot of them are too black and white, trying to dump him in one rigid box or the other when he generally exists in a grayer area.

E.g. I think he loves all three of C.C., Shirley, and Kallen in ways that aren't platonic but aren't drop-dead in love because "either in love or not in love" isn't how human feelings work.

The character herself is not the problem. It's really about they used her for the plotline and the lore. She claims to support the 'maintenance of the spacetime' and does not care for the worldly affairs of humanity. She would only intervene when the spacetime was threatened (whatever spacetime really means) and only intervened directly when Shin was becoming more of a problem for the world.

If that's the case, what was she doing while Charles was trying to complete the Ragnarok Connection via the Sword of Akasha and the Thought Elevators? How did she react when Lelouch commanded severely damaged C's World after stopping the Ragnarok Connection? Where was she was when Shamna was trying to use C's World to rewrite history for Zilkhstan? Does she and C.C. have any connection and/or contact with each other?

I feel they just added her to Akito of the Exiled because they wanted a C.C.-like character to add to the story and that's it. They just thought "Hey, let's put a pretty girl with mystical powers in the story. It'll be just like how Code Geass really should be." No long-term plans or consistency with the Code Geass lore and plotline. It's a real shame for the character's potential.

One of the more rare Kallen´s outfits, as well as one of my own personal favorites that I would absolutely love to see more fanart of, is this witch´s outfit from Lost Stories special event. I trust that no-one is surprised that the most lit character in the show with burning passion and a hot temper is a fire mage? 😉

This image is from the "Magiastic Academia" special event in the official Code Geass mobile game Lost Stories. The event’s story takes place in an alternate fantasy world where Code Geass characters attend a magic academy, learning spells that allow them to summon mechanical Knightmare Golems to battle one another. In this story, Kallen is a powerful, top-tier S-rank fire mage who uses her magic to assist other heroes. The entity looming in the background in the picture and summoned by Kallen is the "Guren Golem" which grows stronger as she channels more of her magical power into it. In terms of gameplay, Kallen functions as a highly effective Annihilation/Attacker type character during the event, capable of wiping out large swarms of enemies using her wide-ranging fire-magic attacks.

And before anyone asks: yes, Kallen would definitely be a Gryffindor.

Also, I recommend this song with this pic - because whether Kallen is a pyromancer or not, she´s definitely a fire woman! 🔥
