Armor Piercing Slap is no longer a trope


* ArmorPiercingSlap: Lelouch does this twice to Lloyd (for giving him a fright about the so-called blackmail) and to Euphie. For the latter, it tipped her off about Lelouch's true identity. Cecile gave one to C.C. after Lelouch and Suzaku were put in the hospital for Mao and what she didn't tell them.

He failed to realize the implications of giving women jewelry.

These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Of course, there will be Britannians who hate Britannia. Britannians have something to gain by siding with Taiyo no Heishi all because the group had only been winning in the public's eye.
** Lelouch came to realize as a commoner, he does not have power. He and Nunnally did not want to return to court out of fear that they will be eaten alive. Lelouch managed to gain some foothold in Britannia due to his association with ASEEC but he doesn't have the power to actually help what is necessary. Lelouch realized as a royal, he can have the political authority he would need to make changes. This makes sense because, in the real world, one must need status and influence to change things.
** When the vi Britannias were revealed to Ashford, the entire school found it hard to treat the ex-Lamperouges as normal like they used to. When Lelouch wanted to help in his last festival, everyone else was too nervous and don’t want to be burdens on the prince. They don't know how to address them either and they’re still trying to adjust weeks after. Nunnally's former bullies feared retribution from her since she can essentially put them in jail for how long they have been bullying her because she's royalty and royalty are the most powerful people in Britannia but Nunnally is reasonable, knowing the social Darwinism has been ingrained in Britannia for so long and the idea was to be hidden and be treated like normal kids. Even Lelouch mentioned in a phone call that was the idea in Kallen's flashback.

Romantic Two Girl Friendship has been renamed to Pseudo Romantic Friendship. All misuse and ZC Es will be deleted and all other examples will be changed to the correct trope.


** Alice and Nunnally’s first meeting was similar to their first meeting in Manga/CodeGeassNightmareOfNunnally and their RomanticTwoGirlFriendship is still there and all the subtext just like Suzaku and Lelouch. However, their eventual fractured friendship was similar to Suzaku and Lelouch of canon, only less.

Since his return, Lelouch presented himself as a Royal for the People as he made clear in his WorldOfCardboardSpeech at Ashford Summer Fest.

* FascistButInefficient: Lelouch pointed out not only the Numbers have it bad but also the Britannians. The latter is trying to live in an oppressive empire that controlled them through SocialDarwinist values that made it easy for climbing crime rates, war, and propaganda. Corruption is everywhere. Pendragon has a DeadlyDecadentCourt. Cecile wondered what is the point of the Honorary Britannian system just as factions in the government like the Purist Faction were easily defunct.

** Lelouch and Nunnally are the Snow White types. It's hinted they still have their titles because it is much more useful to have legitimate royals as hostages than disowned ones; even though they should be disowned, everyone including Charles still called them Prince and Princess vi Britannia, implying they still have their titles.

* AttractiveBentGender: Lelouch. When Cornelia saw the photos, she thought she was looking at Marianne. Everybody in the school knows this as they made an effort to tease him at the Crossdressing Fest. To a lesser extent, Rai as Suzaku noted he can pass as a woman when cross dressing.

However, Rai is not introspective as Lelouch had been due to CharacterDevelopment. They both considered their current lives lies but does share some connection to the student council. They hid behind masks of normal kids yet their lineage is true BlueBlood. However, it's clear Rai identified with his Japanese-Britannian bloodline (for he wants revenge twofold for the murder of his noble house and the tortures he suffered at the Geass Order) while Lelouch rejected his royal blood.
