History WMG / CodeGeass

An example I'm thinking of here is Alexander the Great and his Successor Generals. Soon after the death of Alexander, the generals went at each other's throats for some time before finally settling down into the Successor Empires. There's also the one about the Mongol Empire which collapsed due to disputes on who should be the heir of Genghis Khan. Also, remember the time when TheRomanEmpire split between the Catholic Church, the UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire, the Byzantine Empire, and other barbarian-ruled European kingdoms, starting the Medieval Age. See also BalkanizeMe for this major historical theme. And don't forget, that in the very second UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler (The Most Hated Person In The World, just like Lelouch) killed himself, the Anti-Hitler-Alliance broke apart and the UsefulNotes/ColdWar started. Similarly, with the Britannian MagnificentBastard Emperor Lelouch gone, there's nothing stopping the components of the Britannian Empire from declaring mutual independence on nationalistic, racial, or other grounds, and promptly attempting to integrate lands they believe to be "their lands, their people, etc." by force. Britannia shall fall from its former glory, an Age of Strife And Anarchy shall ensue, history shall repeat itself, and Lelouch's dream of a peaceful world for his sister was always that--a pipe dream.

* This was a completely AbortedArc after season 1, but the AllThereInTheManual AlternateHistory lessons included in the Japanese season 1 DVD release strongly suggested that her name at the time was planned to be Elizabeth. As in Elizabeth III, the fictional queen who was the last British monarch who was involved with the founding of Britannia that caused Code Geass's world to split off from real world events. This would then become the justification for her involvement with Britannia, reinforce the ongoing theme of her involvement with people making things worse, and tie into multiple other elements in the script. Of course, they more or less dropped the whole name plotline in season 2, so who knows what they'd want to do now, if anything.

*** is it {{CLAMP}} after all did you expect, ugly people?!

Because he probably does need a hug.

* Hmm... ''Lelouch and Light do the New World''. This title holds promise...

There's already been [[BreakTheCutie plenty]] [[BreakTheHaughty of]] [[JadeColoredGlasses characters]] who went nuts at one point or another. [[IdiotBall Considering what he ended up doing]], [[FridgeBrilliance it must have been his turn]]. He already started off having trouble with losing Naoto and leading their small resistance group that became the Black Knights, then came all the consequences ''before'' the Black Rebellion, in the middle of things, he came across Villetta and cared for her while she still had amnesia. ''Then'' came the Black Rebellion. By the beginning of R2, he and the rest of the Black Knights were clearly upset about Zero's sudden dissappearance, and even more after Tokyo's destruction. There was also apparently his hope he and Viletta could still be together, so when she and Schneizel told the "truth" about Zero, this all must have been too much for him to handle. [[InspectorJavert To the point where he tries to hunt down Lelouch by himself]], possibly for the crap he apparently put him, Villetta, and a lot of other people through. This all just seems to be a good explanation for ...just ''why'' he acted the way he did. [[SanitySlippage He just couldn't]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy think straight]] [[RevengeBeforeReason at the time]]. On that note, [[ImpliedTrope maybe witnessing the Zero Requiem in front of him]] [[HeelRealization finally snapped him and the Black Knights back to their senses]].

[[WMG:''Resurrection'' might [[RefittedForSequel borrow some stuff]] [[CanonImmigrant from AU works]] like the various manga or the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ]] series]]
There's already enough material for them to use that might help explain the setup. For example, like Super Robot Wars Z2, Lelouch could have survived because all his old allies rushed him for medical treatment, possibly at Nunnally's request this time, where they're able to convince him to live on making up for his mistakes, and he decides that since Lelouch is dead, he live on as Zero instead. Having already said that his identity doesn't matter, and everyone who shares his ideals is Zero as well. It's just a possible way to use this scenario again without the crossover parts.

** Allow me to take it a step further. Villetta wanted a better life, or at least to be on the winning team. She finds her first big break when she discovers the identity of Zero, only to go through an amnesiac phase after getting shot by Shirley. Nonetheless, by the start of the second season, she is promoted to nobility, and the head of the security detail overseeing Lelouch, because of her knowledge of Lelouch's Geass and identity as Zero. Nonplussed that her relationship with Ohgi is found out by Lelouch and used to blackmail her out of ratting on him, she attempts to kill Ohgi, until he protects her from Sayoko. Later, during Schneizel's discussion with the Black Knights, it turns out Villetta is the one who told Ohgi that Lelouch couldn't be trusted with his Geass. So what if Lelouch wasn't indiscriminate with his Geass, and actually loved Shirley, among other things that proved he was actually a decent guy? (And quite possibly that she might have known he couldn't use it more than once on the same person.) Villetta clearly hated his guts, and wanted him gone due to what she had gone through since they met, and what better way than to cause the betrayal with Ohgi? After Lelouch wasn't executed on the spot, she conspired with Ohgi to set up the other aforementioned events in motion, got knocked up, sat the rest of the battle on Horai Island until Lelouch had himself executed, and got herself hitched to her partner in crime. To quote a certain [[{{Yandere}} psycho]] {{Shotacon}}, it was the woman who led the man astray. Well played, you MagnificentBitch.

[[WMG: When Lelouch reveals himself to be alive in R3 the world will have a MassOhCrap moment]]

* Some of the French-sounding names may actually be the Britannian equivalents to Canadians in the ''Anime/CodeGeass'' Universe. Since the French Canadians would have been assimilated into the Britannian Empire much earlier than others (a possible Area 1, perhaps?), they've been accepted as Britannians by this point. Hence, names like Lamperouge and Fenette could be originally from Quebec (which would be "North Britannia" at this point?). Nunnally is really a crapshoot for being an ethnic descriptor, since a [[TheOtherWiki wiki search]] reveals only that it is American as far as we know, and that the only case of it being a given name aside from here is [[GenderBlenderName with a guy]].

* Nah, can't be. [[TsubasaReservoirChronicle Syaorans and Sakuras only breed more Syaorans and Sakuras.]] They're like ''Pokemon'' that way.

* Perhaps a new series will show them owning a pizza place somewhere in the boonies with Lelouch teaching chess in his spare time. One can only hope....http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/CodeGeass?action=edit Seriously though, [[spoiler:the coachman does have Lelouch's basic build and his clothing is the same color as Lelouch's school uniform which always seemed to me to be a part of his "good" identity as opposed to the sinister Lelouch vi Britannia. WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic?]]

* [[spoiler:Jossed. Taken straight from Wikipedia: In volume 42 of the Japanese magazine Continue, writer Ichiro Okouchi confirms Lelouch's death, explaining that it is the price he needed to pay to create his better world. In addition, said magazine includes the name "Lelouch vi Britannia" on its death list.]]

They might be responsible for rewriting history which is what Code Geass is set today because they're passing the Geass to generation from generation. When the world is at peace thanks to the Zero Requiem, they are not satisfied. So, they might ignite more conflict again and C.C., Suzaku (as Zero) and possibly, Cornelia might investigate it. Now, how will Lelouch come into play when he's dead? It's possible that the cult will try to get his body but C.C. is ahead on them.

[[WMG:Mao is SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker.]]

The characters of Batman have been reincarnated as Code Geass characters: Batman becomes Lelouch, Alfred becomes C.C., SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker becomes Mao, Two-Face becomes Suzaku, and Catwoman becomes Kallen.

The American Revolution failed because history was rewritten so that Benjamin Franklin would recognize his superiority and rule over others rather than aid the revolution. The Britannian royalty are all geniuses because he became emperor and they are all his descendants, and so Yamato's desire for the most deserving to rule is met: Franklin and his descendants control the world for 99 generations. Then, Lelouch, despite not quite being the smartest of the bunch, overthrows it all because he has better personal qualities such as selfishness, which Yamato showed he valued when he said those with power abuse it and when he [[spoiler: sacrificed himself in Ronaldo's path.]] Furthermore, the Sword of Akasha could be the Akasha Stratum, and it would literally kill Polaris, who Charles would see as God, who controls the collective unconscious of humanity just like Charles wanted to, explaining how Lelouch geasses humanity's unconscious; he only geassed Polaris to rewrite hunanity to push for change.

[[WMG:The Code Geass universe runs in direct opposition to that of Main/MetalWolfChaos.]]

[[WMG:Main/MetalWolfChaos is actually a direct sequel to Code Geass]]

* Alternately, see the [=WMG=] page for ''MetalWolfChaos'' for another possible scenario.

The entire thing being a cathartic exercise that Lelouch will not resist. If only because he'd be immortal and thus stabbing would not be a serious concern. Candidates in this W.M.G are Nunnally, Kallen, Cornelia, Milly and Rivalz.

We'll see ''someone'' give Ohgi and company a tongue lashing for R19.

Suzaku's skills, CC's powers, what the heck the Thought Elevators were meant for, etc etc.

[[WMG:Nina Einstein is somehow linked to Albert Einstein.]]

* She actually reminds this troper of J. R. Oppenheimer, Father of the Atomic Bomb. Upon witnessing the power of his bomb, he said, " "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one. Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

* Possibly during World War II, if it ever happened. Hitler was dominating the EU, so to escape the Holocaust most people immigrated to Britannia, which was later revealed to have a similar tyrant: [[spoiler:Charles]].
