Trivia / Code Prime

• Creator's Pest: Iron117Prime stated at the end of Chapter 27 that the character he disliked most in R2 of the original series was Suzaku, due to the fact that Suzaku never accepted responsibility for his own actions until after he hit Tokyo with the F.L.E.I.J.A., which he felt was too late for Suzaku to atone for his actions.
• I Knew It!: Readers had suspected that the fic’s version of Geass had originated from Unicron. The final chapter would confirm their suspicions, as the Thirteen Primes reveal the origins of Geass to C.C.
• Talking to Himself:
  • Something of an inside joke, but Lelouch is partnered up with Bumblebee. Both characters have been voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch.
  • In Chapter 16, this also applies with the fight between Starscream vs. Tohdoh. Both are voiced by Steve Blum.
• Word of God:
  • The author has stated he has no plans to kill off Shirley or Cliffjumper. At least not so early on in the latter's case. Cliff eventually meets his end in Chapter 35 via Heroic Sacrifice. He still won't kill off Shirley, fortunately.
    • Additionally, he has no plans to kill off Euphemia either.

  • He has also stated he imagines Rai with the voice of Michael Sinterniklaas.
    • In addition, he's also stated that he imagines Ironhide, Thundercracker and Skywarp being voiced by their voice actors from Transformers: War for Cybertron: Keith Szarabajka (Ironhide), Graham McTavish (Thundercracker), and Richard Epcar (Skywarp).
  • The chapter notes in Chapter 27 had him state that the Black Knights will not betray Lelouch like they did in the anime.
  • He stated in Chapter 17 that he found the scene with Nina and Table-kun extremely creepy, which was why he had it Adapted Out.
  • In several of his end of chapter notes, the author has confirmed that R2 will have the Dinobots and the Predacons.
  • He's stated that R2 will have characters from Code Geass: Akito the Exiled. After doing a poll, he has also confirmed the presence of characters from Code Geass: Oz the Reflection as well for R2. In his notes for Chapter 36, he has stated that he will not be using anything from Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally, given the large cast that he has planned for the story. The author eventually ended up going back on the last part due to interest in some of Nightmare of Nunnally's characters, with Colonel Madd showing up in the first chapter of R2.
