History NightmareFuel / CodeGeass

* And V.V., for his part, may very well be ''Code Geass's'' NightmareFuel representative! He looks like a standard-issue CreepyChild. This would be creepy enough, but [[spoiler:it turns out he's [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld really]] [[CreepyTwins Charles' twin brother]]!]] And he's physically dangerous, with weapons and the like. And he's head of the Geass Cult, a rather shady, creepy society in and of itself; as well as being one of the architects behind the Ragnarok Connection (see above). And then there's his [[spoiler: rather {{Squick}}-y death scene....]]

* When everyone's favorite [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsRealism idealistic]] RebelliousPrincess, Euphemia, [[spoiler:[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3tVTkh8ftM&feature=relmfu is accidentally ordered by the power of Lelouch's geass to kill all the Japanese people]]- an act so contrary to her nature that she actually tries to resist it at first, a feat unseen even when Lelouch previously ordered people to kill themselves. But once she submits, all of a sudden her cheerful, polite sunshine demeanor is telling everyone in Japan to commit suicide- and when that doesn't work, she orders her soldiers to massacre an entire stadium's worth of them and more. With her incredibly cute blood-soaked dress, utter polite speech, red-tinted Geass eyes, and the fact that she ''still'' wants to run the special province of Japan with Lelouch (wait, are there Japanese people in the special province of Japan?)]], it is a truly terrifying picture to behold.

** There may be an explaination for that. Both groups that were ordered to kill themselves by Lelouch are part of the "elite" forces assigned directly under Clovis (The son of the emperor) or the Emperor himself. As far as I know, most of these royal forces have a "Be ready to die willingly and gladly for the royal family" policy, and Lelouch IS the son of the emperor...

** This troper admits to re-watching that scene three times because she couldn't get over how ''insanely dark'' the whole thing was.

** NO ONE ELSE EJECTED EVER WHEN THEY FACED THE RWS.
* But the king of NightmareFuel in ''CodeGeass'' is probably Charles', [[spoiler: Marianne's,]] and V.V's [[AssimilationPlot Assimilation]] project, the Ragnarok Connection, which looks like it was ripped straight out of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', includes ConspicuousCGI columns of what appear to be ''human souls'', and ends with [[spoiler: Charles and Marianne evaporating into glowy dust as they scream at Lelouch!]]

--> ''Rolo: [[spoiler:"I kill so much, I don't count them all. Nobody counts how many times they brush their teeth, or eat a meal. It's just like that."]]''

* [[spoiler:Lelouch's mother, Marianne]], constantly erased and rewrote the memories of Anya Earlstreim, an ActionGirl who had become her vessel through GrandTheftMe, to cover all of this up. The poor girl was left as an emotionless wreck, as she never really knew which memories were truly hers and which were not..

* Guilford. I don't know for sure, but why he constantly wears those sunglasses after the second Tokyo battle? It's like he's blind, but why? Isn't it because [[spoiler: he was geassed to see Lelouch as Cornelia every time he ''sees'' specific gesture and [[EyeScream made himself blind]] afterwards to avoid it?]]

* Schneizel[[spoiler:'s fate: To serve Zero with complete and utter loyalty, [[AndIMustScream with no memories of what he's doing]]]]. Since [[spoiler:Lelouch is dead, Schneizel is trapped in that essential coma for the rest of his life, not that he didn't deserve it]].

* Mao's smiling, happy-as-can-be delivery of "I'll make you compact!". ''With a chainsaw.''

* Thanks to C.C.'s immortality, [[spoiler:in the end of the first season her Knightmare was crushed by water pressure, with her inside. And then, inbetween seasons, she ''resurfaced'']]. Rather... disturbing mental image.

* In the last episode of R1, [[MagnificentBastard Lelouch]] fights [[LadyOfWar Cornelia]] atop the palace. This would be awesome, but Cornelia's face during this is a psychotic leer fueled by her full-blown [[KnightTemplarBigSister sister]] [[IncestIsRelative complex]] after [[spoiler: what happened to Euphie]] and [[TheBerserker battle rage]]. Yikes.

* A scene early in the second season, in which [[spoiler:Suzaku holds down a panicked, screaming Lelouch while the Emperor erases the memories that best define who Lelouch is]], is emotionally intense enough to qualify here. It certainly doesn't help that certain aspects of the scene are reminiscent of rape. [[spoiler: Especially the way he tries to close his eye, only to have Suzaku ''force it open'' to meet the Emperor's line of vision. Very hard to watch.]]

* The scene near the middle of R2 when [[spoiler:the Black Knights are in the laboratory where the engineered Geass-children are. About four of the children, after Geassing a Black Knight to shoot another, look up at Rolo and shout, "Big Bro Rolo, is that you?" all smiling and whatnot. Then Rolo smiles back, ''and promptly shoots them.'']]

** Actually Nunnaly`s blindness wasn`t because of trauma, it was the result of Emperor`s geass as well. Perhaps altering memories isn`t the only thing it allows him to do... anyway, when Lelouch in the next-to-last episode [[spoiler: sees her open her eyes, he says to himself that she managed to overcome her Geass - like Euphimia did, but more in time.]]

* In the very first episode... the ''very first episode''... Lelouch activates the Geass and says to some Britannian troops: "I, Lelouch vi Britannia command you; *{{beat}}* now all of you... ''die!''" The the squad gets MindControlEyes and the leader begins to giggle dementedly. He replies with "Happily, your highness!" and then the whole squad points their guns at their own throats, and obliges in a GoryDiscretionShot.
