** Main character Lelouch balances being a BrilliantButLazy OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent by day, and the flamboyant, masked revolutionary/terrorist (depending on how you view him) "Zero" by night. It's implied the only reason he even bothers keeping up the school-boy persona, instead of just embracing being Zero full time, is because someone needs to be there to look after his sickly little sister, Nunnally.

* ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'': The show takes place in [[TheNineties 1996]] as well as the present.
