WMG / Code Jedi

Darth Vader will take Suzaku as his apprentice.

• It's obvious Darth Vader clearly sees the talent Suzaku holds for piloting, especially since it was revealed that he had no experience piloting a Knightmare before the Lancelot, much like how he himself was extremely talented at a young age. So he most likely suspects that Suzaku has some level of Force Sensitivity. He also probably sees Suzaku as a younger version of himself, if how he felt during the boy's interaction with Euphemia was any indication.
  • Vader will gift Suzaku with Obi-wan's lightsaber and send him on a trial to make it "bleed" as Palpatine had with him.

When Jeremiah returns as a cyborg assassin, he could be equipped with lightsabers and Force-canceling powers like the one used by the Force negating creatures, the Ysalamri.

• Given that he's also going after Luke in addition to Lelouch, he would need more than just a Geass Canceler to beat the two heroes of the story. And if Lelouch does indeed learn the ways of the Force (see below), it could be a good chance to prove that even with it and his Geass, his greatest weapon is, and always shall be, his mind.
• In addition, Jeremiah's cybernetics could include some that we used by General Grievous (and perhaps install some of his combat data into Jeremiah's memory) to further reinforce his purpose as an anti-Jedi/Force-user weapon.

Lelouch is Force-Sensitive.

• Given that he's up against not just his father and Britannia, but an Empire on a Galactic scale, Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, Lelouch will need all the edge he can get.
• Plus, there have already been signs of Lelouch showing some level of Force Sensitivity:
  • His vision when he was first granted his Geass was much like a Jedi's vision. Plus he also saw images of both the Jedi and the Sith in his vision.
  • Both Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader sensed a great disturbance in the Force, which the Emperor confirmed to be Zero, an enemy he believes can pose as much a threat as Luke Skywalker.
  • Vader even says he feels a trace of his own power in Zero, which explains why Luke trusts him so much, being drawn to an individual bonded to the Force.
  • He also has a dream of the Dagobah Cave, where he briefly faces off against a monstrous version of Darth Vader, wielding a lightsaber while fighting him, and meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, who tells him that he's taken his first steps.

Going on from the above theory, Lelouch could even have a Lightsaber combination of a purple and red blade.

• Given that his eyes are purple, later one becoming red due to his Geass, the two sabers could symbolize the color of his eyes, and his struggle with the light and the dark.
  • And it would be similar to Revan, who I personally see as a foil to Lelouch himself. Both are heroes/villains that wear masks and are tactical geniuses who fight their best friends.
  • It could be similar to this fanart. He could even wear robes similar to the ones in the picture.
  • In addition, the red blade could be a Lightsaber Shoto (a short-blade lightsaber) and could exchange it with Luke in combat for more effectiveness, since in the Legends community of Star Wars, Luke did indeed wield a red-bladed Shoto with his green-bladed lightsaber.
• If the above-mentioned is true and Lelouch uses two lightsabers, the lightsaber style Jar'Kai or Niten Ichi-ryū would be the most effective combat style for him. As for who would teach him this style...

Ahsoka Tano will make an appearance and take Lelouch on as an apprentice.

• Whether driven by guilt over what happened to her old master, or being ordered/requested to do so by Obi-Wan or someone else, and seeing the similarities between the ex-prince and Anakin, Ahsoka will eventually find her way to Earth and agree to train Lelouch in the Force as a form of redemption for herself for failing her master.
• Due to her history and reservations with the Jedi Order, Ahsoka may teach Lelouch a 'grey version' of the Jedi way, a version that may align with his beliefs more effectively but also fixes the problems that led to the Jedi Order's fall in the first place.
• As for when she will show up, it will be at the end of the Black Rebellion. She'll fly to Kamine Island and rescue Lelouch from Suzaku. Whether she takes him off-planet or stays on Earth to train him is up in the air.

If Lelouch learns the ways of the Force, whether under an apprenticeship or not, the time skip between R1 and R2 may be longer than a year.

• This could especially be true if Ahsoka shows up like the above theory. She could take him off-world to train him safely. His training may take longer than Luke's since he's physically weaker than Luke as well.

Again going off the Lelouch learns the ways of the Force, he could end up confronting his father and the whole Britannian royalty and renounce his identity as Lelouch vi Britannia once and for all.

• It could be a great scene that shows that Lelouch is finally moving beyond his past once and for all, and could go something like this:
  Charles: You dare disobey me?! You're own father?! Don't be a fool boy! Remember what you are: you are a Prince of Britannia!
  Lelouch: A Prince of Britannia... What's so special about that? (shocks the audience) I'd only be one out of over a hundred other Prince and Princesses, most of whom are incompetent fools who don't know anything besides flaunting their status. And even then, Britannia is only one-third of this planet, compared to the vast reaches of not one but two galaxies, it seems rather small, doesn't it? No, I won't allow myself to be chained down by such a title. From this day forth, Lelouch vi Britannia, Eleventh Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, and Seventeenth in line for the throne, is no more! I am Lelouch Skywalker, also known as Zero, and I am something far greater than a mere Prince, or even Emperor of Britannia, could ever hope to be!
  Charles: (Narrows his eyes in contempt and slight curiosity) And what could that be, boy?
  Lelouch: (Smirks) I am a guardian of peace and justice! I am a servant and warrior of the light, dedicated to eradicating those in the dark and protecting those who can't protect themselves! (Takes his lightsaber and ignites the purple blade and holds it high above his head for all to see) I am a Jedi!
  Charles: (Realizing that his son is now lost to him for good, he speaks with a tone full of disappointment and contempt) So be it... Jedi.

Both Luke and Darth Vader will eventually get Knightmare Frames that can transform into an X-Wing and Tie Advanced Fighter respectively.

• There used to be a toy line where Luke's X-Wing and Vader's Tie Fighter had a transformer variant to them. Given that some Knightmares in Code Geass have the ability to transform, it would stand to reason that their soon-to-be primary Knightmares may be able to transform into their signature starfighters.

Tohdoh will train Luke in Kendo and Kenjutsu.

• Several styles of lightsaber combat are based on real-life systems of Japanese sword-fighting — this will provide an in-universe basis for Luke in lightsaber combat as he was largely self-taught in Legends and Canon.

Geass is capable of imbuing the power of the Force into non-Force sensitives.

Obi-wan Kenobi's lightsaber will reappear.

• The (new Canon) story of Kenobi's lightsaber ends after his death on the first Death Star in his final duel with Darth Vader (and implied to now be in his possession), leaving it open to be brought back to possibly serve as the new weapon for one of the other characters later on — most likely for either Lelouch and Suzaku, both of whom at this point are hinted to possess some level of Force sensitivity.

Marianne was Force-sensitive.

• Going off the assumption that Lelouch is Force-sensitive, he and possibly Nunnally inherited their Force sensitivity from their mother. This in itself may explain Marianne's prodigious piloting skills in a Knightmare Frame for this story.

Ezra is on Earth.

F from The Village Bride and Lop from Lop and Ocho will eventually arrive to Earth

• F is another survivor of the Jedi Purge whose actual age was never specified, so appearing at one point is likely.
• Lop will eventually have to settle the score with her foster sister, so joining the Rebellion and traveling to Earth seems possible.

Luke will be Lelouch's co-pilot in the Gawain instead of C.C.

• With an Ace Pilot like Luke teaming up with the tactical genius Lelouch, the pair may become as formidable when the latter is teamed up with Suzaku.
• The trio will pilot a salvaged and modified ARC-170 fighter — Luke as the main pilot, Lelouch as the co-pilot, C.C. as the tail gunner, and Artoo as their astromech droid.

Luke will fall to the Dark Side.

• In an alternative ending to Return of the Jedi, Luke fell to the Dark Side after killing Vader. It could be adapted here, and his fall could take place instead of the Zero Requiem. Lelouch could lead the rebel forces on a final assault to stop the Emperor and save Luke.
• Lelouch could even give a monologue similar to this:
  Lelouch: Every since we started this, Luke's always been there, by my side. Since the beginning, he's protected me, trusted me, and believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. I never believed I could become a Jedi, not like him anyway, but he did. Now... now it's my turn to believe in him.

Euphemia will eventually become a targeted enemy of the Empire.

• Euphy's character development in the story seems to be her becoming more and more sympathetic to the Rebels and the Japanese, while also growing more disillusioned with both Britannia and their "allies" in the Galactic Empire. She'll likely try to push a reform agenda aimed at helping those Britannia has oppressed and distancing their relationship with Palpatine's regime. This would put her in direct opposition with both Charles and the Empire, especially if it leads her to try negotiating with the Rebellion/Black Knights to end the war through mutual compromise. Aside from going against her own homeland's national policy, she'd be drawing the ire of an Empire known for being petty, vindictive, and eschewing negotiation and compromise in favor of total dominance through brute force and state terrorism. She might even be publicly declared a traitor and marked for death.
  • This would likely also be a turning point for Suzaku's character since it would test his conflicting loyalties and the extent of Vader's influence on him.

To infiltrate Jabba's palace, Lelouch will disguise himself as a female dancer.

• In a Picture Drama, Lelouch infiltrated an enemy base by posing as a dancing girl, due to his feminine appearance. Due to Jabba's taste, Lelouch could totally pull it off.

Suzaku will use a crossguard lightsaber.

• It would seem appropriate for a Britannian soldier, as crossguard lightsabers visually invoke the classic European longsword.
• And this fanart on the author's DeviantArt page prominently displays Suzaku (and Oldrin Zevon) wielding a lightsaber with a crossguard hilt.
• The hilt would be similar to the Lancelot's MVS.

Lelouch will model his lightsaber hilt after a king chess piece.

• Really, why would he not? Lelouch is all about his Chess Motif.

Lelouch will learn to cast Force Lightning or Force Judgement.

• Even with a lightsaber and the Force, Lelouch would still be woefully outclassed by combatants like Vader and Suzaku in terms of fighting capabilities. Something like Force Lightning, or it's light-side equivalent Force Judgement, would be the only real technique that would give him a (barely) feasible advantage against at least Darth Vader.
• It could also be a way to visualize his internal struggle with the Light and Dark Sides. While using Force Judgement, there could be moments where he lets his anger take control and cast Force Lightning.
• Perhaps as a by-product of learning this technique, Lelouch will also learn tutaminis.

Force-sensitive Code Geass characters

• Lelouch Lamperouge
• Suzaku Kururugi
• C.C.
• Nunnally Lamperouge
• Marianne Vi Britannia
• V.V.
• Leila Malchal
• Oldrin Zevon
• Rai

Lelouch and Suzaku's lightsaber forms

• Lelouch: Focuses on defense, pragmatism, use of the Force.
  • Form I - Shii-Cho: Simplicity, as Lelouch is not much of a warrior.
  • Form III - Soresu: Again, as Lelouch is not much of a fighter, he would prioritize simply surviving an encounter until reinforcements arrive or he can seize the opportunity to escape in one piece. This form's focus also invokes the style of combat of his future Knightmare Frame, the Shinkiro.
  • Form VI - Niman: This style has a more relaxed emphasis on swordsmanship and a stronger focus on Force techniques. This may be the ideal form for Lelouch as he will likely be heavily reliant on Force powers to challenge the likes of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine.
  • Jar'Kai: Niman includes a dedicated dual-lightsaber discipline, which could help give Lelouch an even greater edge in combat.
  • Dun Möch: Lelouch's greatest weapon has always been his mind and many of his victories over others in canon are attributed to his skills in picking at people's psychology. So it makes sense he would focus on a form that involves targeting one's mind, even if it's a Dark Side technique.
  • While not a Lightsaber Form, Lelouch could utilize a blaster with his lightsaber or a lightsaber blaster (akin to Ezra's first weapon), given that he is relatively adept with a pistol and his overall lack of skill with a blade.
• Suzaku: Focuses on offense, acrobatics, and hand-to-hand combat.
  • Form II - Makashi: This style focuses on fighting a single opponent with precise and graceful strikes, something Suzaku excels in.
  • Form IV - Ataru: This style would be a natural fit for Suzaku as his combat style is exceptionally energetic and acrobatic both in and out of a Knightmare Frame.
  • Form V - Shien/Djem So: Particularly the Shien variant. Suzaku would likely utilize an agile style akin to Ahsoka Tano's fighting technique.
  • Form VII - Juyo/Vaapad: Suzaku (particularly post-SAZ massacre) becomes increasingly bolder and more aggressive as the series goes on, and his growing kinship with Vader will likely spur him further into harnessing his inner darkness to empower himself.
  • Jar'Kai: Like Niman, Ataru also includes dedicated dual-saber training regiment, and Suzaku is already adept at using dual-MVSs with the Lancelot; he could easily adapt this style with two lightsabers.
  • In addition to lightsaber training, Suzaku could also train in martial arts created to combat Force-adepts like Teräs Käsi.

Lelouch and Suzaku's lightsaber color

• This is based in the context of the new canon where there's meaning to each lightsaber colors rather than just being an individually-chosen aesthetic.
• Lelouch:
  • Green: Color of the Jedi Consular. Wielders of emerald blades are more focused on diplomacy, planning, and contemplating the greater mysteries of the Force. While Lelouch isn't much of an academic nor necessarily interested in studying the science behind the supernatural, he is philosophical and regularly dwells on the intricacies of human nature.
    • Confirmed: Word of God has confirmed Lelouch will use a green colored lightsaber, but he also stated that it won't be the only color.
  • Purple: Color of those that possess Light Side and Dark Side attributes. Like Mace Windu, Lelouch has an inherent darkness in his soul, but he truly wishes to fight for a better, gentler tomorrow.
  • Red: Color of the Sith. Despite his good intention, Lelouch was often ruthless in the pursuit of his goals and when subdued with the Force by Darth Vader for the first time at Narita, Lelouch mentally seethed how much he wanted the Sith Lord's power and how unstoppable he would be with it.
• Suzaku:
  • Blue: Color of the Jedi Guardian. This is quite straightforward, as Suzaku is a dedicated soldier and fighter for peace (misguided as he is).
  • Orange: Stark opposite of the purple lightsaber; Suzaku remains a well-intentioned warrior, but he is far more susceptible to losing himself when faced with his darker impulses.
  • Red: Darth Vader notes how Suzaku reminds him of Anakin Skywalker. Time will tell though if the events of the Japan Special Zone will play out like it does in canon and deprive Suzaku of the one that keeps him in the light...

Lelouch will lose an eye.

• Like Luke ended up losing his right hand to Vader, they could come a moment when Lelouch loses a body part of his own, specifically his left eye, which houses his Geass.
• This could happen after the SAZ Massacre by two methods:
  • First, Suzaku, disgusted with Geass, uses a Lightsaber to stab him in the left eye, in retaliation for Lelouch accidentally causing the massacre and killing Euphie.
  • Second, Lelouch, disgusted with himself and his Geass after the massacre, decides to cut it out himself, using his Lightsaber to do it.
• If he does end up losing his eye, he can either use an eye patch as he had while he was Julius Kingsley or get an artificial eye.
• Lelouch will take his time without his Geass to hone his Force powers until it returns in his right eye. He will use the Jedi Mind Tricks in the meantime.

Darth Vader is needed for the Ragnarok Connection.

• In the vision Lelouch had when he first received his Geass, he overheard Charles mention the Prophecy of the Chosen One, mentioning a convergence of Ragnarok Connection and the Force, before stating the prophecy can begin again. It's implied for Ragnarok to be activated, one immensely strong in the Force is required, and there is no one stronger than Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

Lelouch and Suzaku will use sakuradite for their lightsaber crystals.

• Sakuradite will be a derivative of kyber crystals that naturally grows on Earth and have their own special properties or they actually are kyber crystals by another name.
• Suzaku's crystal will come directly from Lancelot's core.

Jabba The Hutt is going to hoard all the pizza on Earth.

• He'll develops a taste for it like Chewie did and rationalizes that since his species' name is in the Pizza Hut title, he's entitled to the restaurant chain's comestibles and royalties.
• C.C. doesn't take kindly to this and personally leads the assault/infiltration of the space gangster's organization.

Lelouch can sense shatterpoints.

• May explain how Lelouch always seems to know the best strategies that thoroughly exploit the enemies' weakness(es) and how he often knows exactly what to say to a person to win them over or to get them to drop their guard.

Lelouch will wear white robes.

• As the story progresses into Return of the Jedi, as Luke began to wear darker robes, Lelouch could contrast wearing white robes, signifying his closer connection to the Light Side.

Luke will dress-up as Zero.

• Luke could take up the mask in several ways:
  • As a way to help keep Lelouch's identity as Zero secret.
  • Take it up as his own new identity should Lelouch die.
  • Played for Laughs. He did once wear the mask on its own to show Han how Lelouch acts.

Lelouch will Geass Darth Vader.

• "Die!" - Vader has already established himself as an unstoppable killing machine and the greatest nightmare Lelouch has ever faced; why wouldn't he take the first chance he can to end the Dark Lord permanently? Assuming Lelouch is successful, maybe Vader finds a way to fight off or cancel out the command with the Force.
• "Remember!" - Let's say Lelouch somehow figures out the true identity and story of the one underneath all that black armor; Lelouch will force Vader to confront the past he tried so long and so hard to bury and forget. This also parallels Suzaku's eventual command to "live"; Suzaku is forced to always try to survive despite being a Death Seeker while Darth Vader is forced to remember his past as Anakin Skywalker despite his declaration that That Man Is Dead.

Lelouch spares Charles, Luke kills Vader

• Having been around each other for long periods, Lelouch and Luke will feed off both the best and worst parts of each other.
  • Being around Luke Skywalker for a long while now, Lelouch becomes a more heroic individual, so much so that when he confronts his father again, instead of killing him, he spares Charles and takes him into custody, as killing him in anger would drive him down into the Dark Side.
  • On the opposite end, being around Lelouch, Luke could be less lenient with Vader and end up killing him, making him fall to the Dark Side.

Lelouch will take the Skywalker name

• As a further show of his growing brotherhood with Luke, and his possible disgust with his mother's maiden name when he learns the truth about her, Lelouch will change his name from Lelouch Lamperouge to Lelouch Skywalker.

Schneizel will defect to the Galactic Empire

• Schneizel's final act in the Code Geass canon, holding the whole world hostage under the threat of basically nuclear annihilation, is eerily similar to Tarkin's plan of holding the galaxy at gunpoint of the Death Star's planet-buster superlaser in A New Hope. Schneizel and Tarkin are also quite similar personality-wise, as they are both ambitious, ruthless, devoid of true compassion or empathy, and genuinely believe that their extremist (downright monstrous) means of suppressing opposition and rebellion are necessary in bringing peace and order to the planet/galaxy. Furthermore, Schneizel is wise enough to not pick fights he knows he can't win; an empire that utterly dwarfs Britannia by a literal astronomical margin is easily enough reason for him to eventually sell out to the galactic imperials.

Genbu Kururugi was going to kill Lelouch and Nunnally.

• It's implied that Suzaku had another reason for killing his father outside of stopping the Do or Die resistance, one that has to do with Lelouch. Given how much Suzaku values Lelouch and Nunnally, Genbu might've sought to kill the two in a last act of defiance against Britannia.

Suzaku will take a Sith name.

• Name ideas:
  • Darth Reaper: Similar to his moniker of the White Grim Reaper in R2.
  • Darth Knightmare: To represent Suzaku's ferocity on the battleground, especially with the Lancelot.
  • Darth Karma: As a nod to Suzaku's darker alternate self in Genesic Re;Code
  • Darth Lancelot: As a nod to Suzaku's knightmare and his alter-ego in the Suzaku of the Counterattack Manga.
  • Darth Counterattack: As a nod to Suzaku's own spin-off manga.

The final battle will take place over Earth.

• Instead of Endor, the second Death Star could be hovering over Earth, which would be the scene of the final battle of Code Jedi.

The events of Island of the Gods will take place on Dagobah.

• The Dark Side Cave on Dagobah can be re-contextualized as another Thought Elevator location to allow easier passage between Earth's galaxy and the Star War's galaxy and the opportunity for Luke to undergo his training with Yoda.

Suzaku will don an appearance similar to his Karma counterpart from Genesic Re;Code

• With Karma Suzaku's edgy & dark appearance, it would make sense for Code Jedi's iteration of Suzaku to take up a similar appearance to his dark alternate self.

Suzaku will have one of his legs cut off.

• It can't just be the heroes who have to suffer from a lost limb, Suzaku could very well end up losing a limb, specifically one of his legs, robbing him of his signature spin kick attack.
