History Manga / CodeGeassOzTheReflection

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Oldrin wears a short skirt while part of the Glinda Knights. Marrybell too, to the point of accidentally flashing Oldrin.

* NotSoDifferent: Marrybell's backstory is almost identical to Lelouch's[[note]]Lost their mothers to a supposed terror attack in the middle of Britannian territory (that was actually carried out by V.V.), asked the Emperor to do something about it, and not only got the cold shoulder but lost their claim to the throne for their troubles[[/note]] and she has the same motivation (to make the world a place where her loved ones can be safe and happy). The main difference is how they reacted to their respective losses: Lelouch suspected Britannia of being complicit and became a terrorist, while Marrybell stayed loyal to Britannia and formed an anti-terrorism taskforce. As a result, it's no surprise that [[spoiler:she willingly joins forces with Lelouch once he becomes Emperor and enacts the Zero Requiem plan.]]

* {{Retcon}}: In the original ''Code Geass'' anime, both Marika Soresi and her partner Lilliana died during the second battle of Tokyo against Kallen in the Guren SEITEN. However, ''Oz of the Reflection'' reveals that both of them managed to survive that day, with Marika herself being rescued by Leonhardt just after her Knightmare Frame was taken out.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Leonhardt saves Marika during the Second Battle of Tokyo. Her partner Liliana may have also survived as the bridesmaid shares her hairstyle. [[spoiler:The other fan favorites, Monica and Dorothea, are not.]]

''Oz the Reflection'' was followed by a sequel, ''Code Geass - Oz the Reflection''.

* ArrangedMarriage: There is one between Leonhart and Marika. Though, they are actually in love.

%%%* KnightTemplarParent: By the bulk. VV is shown to be one too.

* IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Clara in a twisted way.
* IKnowYourTrueName: Clara Lanfranc has the Geass power to [[PeoplePuppets take control of peoples' bodies]] if she looks them in the eye and speaks their true name. [[spoiler:She tries using the power against "Oldrin", but it fails because it's actually Orpheus in disguise, and he's smart enough to kill her before she can give it a second chance.]]

* MsFanservice: Most of the Fanservice is provided by Oldrin Zevon, and that's saying something when most of the female charcters get this treatment.

* TomboyishName: "Oldrin" isn't the sorta name you'd expect a girl to have, really.
* UnPerson: [[spoiler:Clara Lanfranc, the ''first'' person the Geass Directorate sent to spy on Lelouch while pretending to be his sibling, got erased from everyones' memories after Orpheus killed her and was subsequently replaced by Rolo Haliburton.]]
** [[spoiler: Surprisingly, Rai, the protagonist of VisualNovel/CodeGeassLostColors cameos in such a way. He is implied to have used the Geass ritual to make the entire world forget him like in the default game route, but it turns out Nonette still cares about him and keeps looking for him.]]

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Oldrin. Marrybel too, to the point of accidentally flashing Oldrin.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Orpheus suffers through one; Princess Marrybel also suffers through another.

** Marrybel at the start of the second part of the manga. [[spoiler: She never came out of it.]]

* NotSoDifferent: Marybell's backstory is almost identical to Lelouch's[[note]]Lost their mothers to a supposed terror attack in the middle of Britannian territory (that was actually carried out by V.V.), asked the Emperor to do something about it, and not only got the cold shoulder but lost their claim to the throne for their troubles[[/note]] and she has the same motivation (to make the world a place where her loved ones can be safe and happy).

As a result, it's no surprise that [[spoiler:she willingly joins forces with Lelouch once he becomes Emperor and enacts the Zero Requiem plan.]]

* UnprovokedPervertPayback: During the above-mentioned NotWhatItLooksLike scene, Oldrin accidentally lifts up Marybell's skirt while smacking the guys with her sword, giving everyone a nice look at her panties. When we return to the scene, Oldrin has a red slap mark on her cheek while the guys are lying on the ground behind her, having been beaten senseless. Since it's not really Mary's character, odds are Oldrin was the one who beat them.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Leonhardt saves Marika during the Second Battle of Tokyo. Her partner Liliana may have also survived as the bridesmaid shares her hairstyle. [[The other fan favorites, Monica and Dorothea, are not.]]

* TheWarOnTerror: Marrybel declared war on all terrorists, not only the Black Knights, in a somewhat realistic way.

* [[spoiler: BackForTheDead: Even though her interaction with Orpheus in the novel is very well received, Monica only appears in one scene after the time skip, only to get killed by Suzaku like in the original anime series.]]

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Oldrin.

* BigGood: Marrybell is in charge of the Glinda Knights.

* ClothingDamage: Oldrin, Marika, Marrybel, Oldrin...

* LethalChef: Marika is known as one, but she insists it only happened ''once'' (she got nervous and put too much pepper in a meat pie).

%%% "Every girl." is not context.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Leonhardt saves Marika during the Second Battle of Tokyo.

A SpinOff of the ''Franchise/CodeGeass'' franchise, ''Oz the Reflection'' uses the same formula as the highly successful ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamSEEDAstray'', using different mediums to tell an interconnected story of two long-lost siblings, both nicknamed "Oz" by their friends. The manga component focuses on Oldrin Zevon, a member of the Glinda Knights (Britannia's anti-terror taskforce) and pilot of the Lancelot Grail. The photh-novel focuses on Orpheus Zevon, member of the anti-Britannian terror group "Peace Mark" who seeks vengeance for his lover's murder. A PictureDrama was released on January 10th 2013 attached to that month's issue of Newtype Ace.

The story begins when Oldrin and Orpheus meet in person in the Middle East...

''Oz the Reflection'' is one of two canon spinoffs following the Code Geass revival. The other, ''Anime/CodeGeassAkitoTheExiled'', also occurs in the same timeframe.
