* Creator/YuriLowenthal and Creator/JohnnyYongBosch voicing friends who eventually become enemies only to become allies again towards the end? [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann That sounds familiar...]][[note]]For extra {{Irony}}, their roles are reversed. Both cases have Bosch play the WellIntentionedExtremist and Lowenthal TheIdealist. In Gurren Lagann, Bosch's character Rossiu temporarily serves an antagonistic role and and is proven to be wrong by Lowenthal's character Simon due to their world running on RuleOfCool, nearly driving Rossiu to kill himself as atonement only to be stopped by Simon. Here, Bosch's character Lelouch is the protagonist in a CrapsackWorld and his methods prove more practical than Lowenthal's character Suzaku, Lelouch going through with killing himself to complete his plans with Suzaku assisting him.[[/note]]

The main difference here is [[spoiler:while there's two cities destroyed by the F.L.E.I.J.A. in the series, mainly Tokyo and Pendragon, the capital city of Britannia, Lelouch wasn't involved in their destruction, as the former was destroyed accidentally by Suzaku and the latter was nuked by his brother Schneizel el Britannia in an attempt to assure his authority, compared with King's Landing, when Daenerys orders its destruction without guilt. Also, unlike Lelouch, Bran survives the whole thing and became the ruler of Westeros]].
