History Fridge / CodeLyoko

* The Replikas are generated from lab supercomputers infected by XANA all over the world. Of all those labs, only the one generating the Forest Replika had its (xanafied) original personnal shown. ''What'' exactly did XANA do with the personnal from the other labs ? Even worst, when Odd and Yumi visited the lab in Russia, they find out XANA is experimenting on what appears to be ''brains''.

*** Not necessarly; they all give perfectly good reasons to feel hesitant about it. Plus, could you really just go back to a normal life when you have been fighting as some kind of superhero for years ?

* Jeremie said that one's appearance on Lyoko likely corresponds with one's own subconscious desires; Aelita's childhood toy - an elf named Mr. Puck - explains her elfin appearance.

* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' has enough NightmareFuel as it is, especially with regards to [[AndIMustScream falling into the Digital Sea]], but the show becomes even more horrifying when you consider how the five protagonists must feel about the whole thing, especially from season three onwards. After all, they're ''constantly'' at risk of being murdered by XANA - he could attack at any moment at all, and they have to be ready to fight him. Consequently, they can never truly relax. Also, whenever the gang are exploring the network in the Skid, there's always the considerable risk that something might go wrong with it, or one of them might become 'lost at sea'. If that happens, eventually the Skid would run out of energy, and then they'd end up in the Digital Sea, which as mentioned previously, isn't a good idea. And of course this is happening whilst the main characters are right in the middle of puberty, so you can imagine the turmoil they must feel. Just to finish all of that off, they also aren't allowed to tell anybody about XANA in the hopes of getting some help, because that would break the {{Masquerade}}. How they made it through the show without becoming mentally ill is a mystery...
* Another one for WesternAnimation/{{Code Lyoko}}, only this time focused on a single episode rather than the show as a whole. At the end of "Bad Connection", Odd shows his latest mini-film, which reveals Sissi wrapped in a duvet, and emerging 'as a beautiful butterly'. That's cute and all... until you realise that in order to film that footage in the first place, he'd have to have stuck a camera in her room without her knowledge. Here's where the FridgeHorror comes in - ''what else could Odd have filmed''? How do we know he didn't keep some of it for 'personal use'? Oh, and considering [[KidAnova that Odd is a G-rated pervert]], who's to say that Sissi is the only girl he's done this too? (Oh, and on top of all that, Sissi's father was watching the film, and he just assumed that Sissi was OK with this? It's amazing that Odd didn't get expelled...)

* The William Clone (Muffin II, if the fan nickname ever caught on), being deleted at the end with no apparent remorse. Not to say it wasn't neccessary; just changing his DNA would still leave a double or a stranger with an unusual personality roaming the campus. And fixing that would make it hard to shut down Lyoko if he chose to defend it. But it seems strange that Jeremie, Aelita, or even William don't give any thought to a being they created to resemble a person he could never actually become, in the form that Jeremie once thought Aelita was. Not to mention he helped Jeremie protect the supercomputer in (I believe it was,) A Lack of Goodwill, either to save his creator (adds a sad note to the horror), save his data (which would mean he had a suvival instinct), or to destroy the real William (emphasizing that his whole purpose is to become someone who already exists and is not him). And now for where the horror comes in: Jeremie updated the clone using some of the data used to make XANA's AI. Emergent Qualities might not matter anymore if his capacity to learn is intact.
** Jeremie did update the clone, but after the Return to the Past, he confirmed that he had deleted the update to William's clone personality. The clone itself (in Down to Earth) said "to be specific, I'm a digitally generated random polymorphic energy field controlled by a basic non-evolving behavioral program". Non-evolving meaning anything not programmed into its artificial intelligence would not be done or even considered, because it was a rigid program.

* Sometimes when Aelita deactivates a tower, we see her doing a backflip as she ascends to the next panel. At first this seems to be [[RuleOfCool just for show]], but it turns out that it has a purpose after all. Think about it - the second panel is directly above the first, and Aelita has to walk into the centre before she can ascend. If she didn't do a backflip, she'd smack into the bottom of the panel!

* In the season 1 episode "Just In Time", Aelita gets deleted after deactivating the tower because of bugs in the system. However, they bring her back by virtualizing a strand of her hair (which Jérémie had successfully materialised at the beginning of the episode), which supposedly contains her entire genetic code. But if that's true, they wouldn't really be bringing back Aelita at all; rather, they'd be making an exact clone of her. Now, at the time, this wouldn't be such a big deal, but when we discover that [[spoiler:she's really human]], this opens up a lot of awkward possibilities...

* In '''A Bad Turn''', how did that krab even fit in the scanner? We saw Its leg get out, but nothing else, there is no way it would fit in there. And we see ulrich on top of one, judging by his size, that krab has got to be the size of a car, both width and length.
