* AmbiguousSituation: Shirley's father still dies in Narita, but how he died remains uncertain; Lelouch is most troubled on whether the avalanche he caused or the JLF's drone attack was responsible for his death.
* BodyBackupDrive: The Ethereals has the Resurrection Cylinders that gives the user a new body after death. [[spoiler:The Black Lotus Society used one to buy the loyalty of the High Eunuch Gao Hai.]]



* HeroicBSOD: Lelouch grows steadily traumatized in the Black Knights' war against the aliens such as seeing what the aliens did to their abducted human victims and even [[MercyKill euthanizing an abductee that couldn't be saved]].

* AdaptationExpansion: Tons - the author enjoys {{Worldbuilding}}.
** The Emblem of Blood is given a few more details, including confirming that it was restricted mostly to the royalty and nobility, causing the commoners to mostly accept it without thought.
** The subway network that was brought up in the anime as a major issue for Britannia is given more depth and explained as having been expanded following Britannia's conquest, with Cornelia noting that dealing with it would be a campaign of its own.
** Guinevere su Britannia is practically a non-entity in canon, with even the side materials only indicating that she is RichInDollarsPoorInSense. Here, she's head of Britannia's media sphere, giving her roughly equal standing to Schneizel and Cornelia - they might handle, respectively, governing Britannia and leading its armies, but she is the one they go to when selling new laws/military operations to the public.

The problem is that the JLF had become willing puppets go the aliens and were turning against the Black Knights, meaning that the Britannians decision prevented a potential divide and conquer situation they could have exploited. Worse still, Lelouch was actually planning on aiding Cornelia in opposing the JLF for this reason, meaning that Cornelia lost a lot of firepower she could have used in the operation.

** By using the JLF as proxies, they not only give Lelouch a perfectly acceptable reason to oppose the group, but also cause Tohdoh and the Four Holy Swords to defect.
