* CovertGroupWithMundaneFront: The Rising Sun Benevolent Organization advertises itself as a charitable association aimed at improving Japanese public health and fostering better relations between the Britannians and the local “Elevens”. While the first is technically true (the RSBS provides education and medicine to Shinjuku residents), it also provides a front for the Kozuki Organization to gain funds and gather members for resisting Britannian occupation.

* OpportunisticBastard: The Six Houses of Kyoto are a group of oligarchs, aristocrats, plutocrats, and imperial holdovers who willingly aligned with the Britannian Area Administration shortly after the war ended, taking the entire Kyoto prefecture with them. As the “Numbers Advisory Committee” with significant investments in businesses and lands across the country. Most Japanese consider them traitors, but their loyalty to Britannia is largely fleeting, with many opting to selectively fund and supply anti-Britannian groups to undermine the colonial authorities. Even then however, many opt to withhold materiel and monetary support to insurgent groups they view as either lacking in ability, too maverick to keep under their control, or too contrary to their visions of what future they want for Japan, with more of a concern for advancing their own positions. “Lady Sophie” Sumeragi Kaguya, head of Sumeragi House and de facto heir to the long-defunct Chrysanthemum Throne, applies this in a different way: she genuinely wants Japan liberated and quickly allies with Tanya as the RSBS’s “benefactor” and Kozuki Organization’s supplier despite the other Houses viewing them as beneath their notice, and immediately turns this to pushing a more militaristic approach.

* RagtagBunchofMisfits: The Kozuki Organization recruits partisans wherever they can from the civilian population. The fact that they manage any sort of successes compared to much larger groups tends to surprise some. Also deconstructed, as their initial low hiring standards mean a number of psychopaths in their ranks end up causing disciplinary issues and nearly causes disaster [[spoiler:when one member takes advantage of the group's resources to launch a personal murder campaign.]]

* YouCantMakeAnOmelette: Tanya has no problems with shooting Britannian or even Honorary Britannian civilians as part of her guerrilla campaign, but only if they get in the way of completing her overall strategic aims and never targets them deliberately.

* RagtagBunchofMisfits: The Kozuki Organization recruits partisans wherever they can from the civilian population. The fact that they manage any sort of successes compared to much larger groups tends to surprise some. Also deconstructed, as their initial low hiring standards mean a number of psychopaths in their ranks end up causing disciplinary issues and nearly cause disaster in Chapter 29.

** The Six Houses of Kyoto are a group of oligarchs, aristocrats, plutocrats, and imperial holdovers who willingly aligned with the Britannian Area Administration shortly after the war ended, taking the entire Kyoto prefecture with them.

** “Lady Sophie” Sumeragi Kaguya, head of Sumeragi House and de facto heir to the long-defunct Chrysanthemum Throne, seems to be the only subversion. She genuinely wants Japan liberated and quickly allies with Tanya as the RSBS’s “benefactor” and Kozuki Organization’s supplier despite the other Houses viewing them as beneath their notice.

* OccupiersOutOfOurCountry: The Kozuki Organization and the Japanese Liberation Force are but a handful of resistance cells operating across Japan to resist Britannia’s occupation and colonization. Getting them to cooperate and coordinate however is far more difficult.

* GreatOffscreenWar: The Second Pacific War ended with Britannia invading the Japanese mainland and forcing Tokyo’s unconditional surrender. Even many of the characters too young to have fought in it still remember the devastation.

* LesCollaborateurs: Many Japanese seek favor with the new Britannian administration as Honorary Britannians, hoping to either gain more comfortable livelihoods, protect their families, or to gain better social standing in the world they live in. Those like Suzaku who join for service in the Britannian army are admitted into the Honorary Legions.

* NaturalizedName: As part of Britannia’s cultural genocide campaigns, Honorary Britannians are required to adopt new Anglicized names to reflect their new status as subjects of the HBE. The Japanese are no different.
** Sumeragi Kaguya has had her name legally changed to "Sophie Sumeragi."

Even then however, many opt to withhold materiel and monetary support to insurgent groups they view as either lacking in ability, too maverick to keep under their control, or too contrary to their visions of what future they want for Japan.

* EvilColonialist: The Holy Britannian Empire in general displays this attitude to every non-Britannian residing in conquered Areas under its control. Supplementary information shows the other superpowers to be little better.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: The Japanese resistance groups fight to free their country from foreign occupation but are far from upstanding and often fight dirty to achieve their aims. The Britannians meanwhile view the “Elevens” as second-class citizens and conduct cultural genocide to Honorary Britannian ethnic groups and are more than willing to commit large-scale massacres and humanitarian crises to pacify unruly regions.

* TheRemnant: The Japanese Liberation Front are all that remains of the Japan’s armed forces. The bulk of them “control” several mountain enclaves from bunker networks, unable to commit to any major offensive operation outside of minor skirmishes. Worse still, the JLF often suffers from infighting between the current command staff, the more aggressive militarists, and the odd level-headed officer stuck in between.

* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: The Britannian victory over Japan and the destruction of most of the Japanese conventional forces has forced many of the country’s remaining combatants and civilian resistance forces to engage the Britannians in an unconventional guerrilla war. Almost every partisan fighter fully expects to either die or be taken prisoner for potentially tortuous interrogation.

** “Lady Sophie” Sumeragi Kaguya, head of Sumeragi House and heir apparent to the long-defunct Chrysanthemum Throne, seems to be the only subversion. She genuinely wants Japan liberated and quickly allies with Tanya as the RSBS’s “benefactor” and Kozuki Organization’s supplier despite the other Houses viewing them as beneath their notice.

An unfortunate turn of events ends Tanya’ life far earlier than expected, forcing Being X to invoke a second transmigration and reincarnation. Now reborn in the world of Code Geass, Japanese half-blood street urchin Hajime Tanya becomes an eyewitness to colonial invasion and enemy occupation when Japan is annexed Holy Britannian Empire. Shunted off to the Shinjuku Ghetto, orphaned, and with no options other than a life of cruelty and subjugation, a twelve-year-old Tanya finds herself joining the burgeoning Japanese resistance.

* HalfBreedAngst: Kallen has come to despite her Britannian heritage, having to smile and laugh alongside the noble sons and daughters of the same country destroying Japan. Needless to say, this has developed into a near constant state of rage.

** Sumeragi Kaguya has been changed to "Sophie Sumeragi."
