YMMV / Roleplay of Geass

• Game-Breaker:
  • 0-Quantum Tsurugi Forme Requiem only shows up near the end of R2 for damn good reasons. You only need reed the description of its weapon systems to know why it belongs here.
  • The Elegante. Its 25 meters tall, towering over other Knightmare Frames, and having incredible fire power. It also has Siegfried style Electromagnetic Shields. You need to hit hard and fast to do damage to this behemoth.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Mr. Aside appeared in this forum wielding a large golden Knightmare made of numerous other Knightmares. In Akito The Exiled, guess what likely Big Bad and similar "controller" villain Shin Hyuga Shaingu shows up in? A golden Knightmare made of other Knightmare pieces.
• Moral Myopia: In this storyline, before the SAZ is shattered, Poison (with support from rogue High General Caesar Octavius) launches an attack on Los Angeles with the intention of killing as many Britannians as possible. And they succeed; by the time Britannian forces put them down, over two million people were dead. Couple that with the fact that Poison was using Knightmares closely resembling Black Knight Knightmares, the Britannian forces strike, and start attacking. The reaction of most people: the Britannians overreacted.
  • While they may have lashed out the wrong people rather rashly, one of their largest cities was suddenly attacked by Knightmares resembling those of their enemies, and killed two million of their people. What conclusion would you have drawn? It doesn't help that when the Black Knights are confronted about it, they either dodge the topic, or play it down. When asked why Zero didn't address, his excuse basically amounts to "Well, they wouldn't have believed me anyway".
• Narm: Its Code Geass - you knew a few accidentally funny moments were coming.
  • Early on, Ali Zah Kanemi is a truly fearsome mercenary...but then he makes the mistake of flying at Zero while making use of the Agruez, which can best be described as a helicopter Knightmare armed with crab legs.
  • Alexander "The Great" of Britannia is a heavy load of Narm. From his overwinded proclamations of his identity as a Star Wars character, to his "GEEEEET UUUUUUP!!" and various odd expressions and speech styles, its impossible to not giggle at one of his orations.
  • Mune's death, which happens because he was an idiot, tackling Fortin's better armed machine, getting his sword taken away and impaled on it.
  • Poison's introduction. They are so hilariously overblown its difficult to see them as anything but a parody of supervillains who randomly slaughter people. And then there's Sendo's attempt to introduce himself...on one television...at the site of his massacre...where nobody is watching. Hell, Sendo himself. He's thoroughly corny, has the most overused voice out there, and most of his lines seem almost comically overdone.
    • Sendo's like one of those Bond Villians
    • It becomes a lot less funny when they actually succeed in destroying the city of Los Angeles (with support from a rogue High General), and kill two million Britannians.
  • Kousuke Katamasa's Death, if its not Nightmare Fuel due to the details, mainly because it seemed so sure the battle was over, and then wham, he's dead.
  • Yukito Katamasa seemed to randomly go insane for no apparent reason, and only recently did he return just as randomly to sanity. Hence, any scene with him in it tends to be hard to take seriously.
  • New Black Knight Kokusho seems to go frothingly insane mid-fight with 3 young pilots who seem to like trolling him. It's easy to read the entire fight as the three of them repeatedly dodging, saying U Mad Breh and attacking him again and again. It gets even worse when he starts acting like Tarzan...in his Knightmare Frame.
  • Ceres "The Cruel" is supposed to be a serious antagonist during the Chinese Invasion Arc. Good luck getting through his accent without giggling like a loon. It gets even worse when he's trying to make himself sound clever.
  • Yuji's disguise as a fraternity brother. You know what, just that entire sequence of events.
    • Katherine's whining when she doesn't get to blow something up. Charlie's utter exasperation...
  • Whenever Kaisuke fights. The other pilots fight like people involved in a war. He fights like a Super Robot Anime character. It can really break how seriously a scene's supposed to be.
  • Narm from the future; Mellura is a pretty smart guy. He makes a lot of intimidating and powerful Knightmares. The Gildarn from R2 is not one of these. It is best described as a giant winged lemon armed with a drill, and its fighting style seems to be ramming opponents to get them with its drill.
  • The Defouze is similar - it has little arms and very, very long legs, and a bulky box-like body. What was Mellura on?
  • Rule of Three: The Xamagg is a badass machine immune to energy cannons and the like. What isn't badass about it? It looks like freaking Donkey Kong as a Humongous Mecha.
• Nightmare Fuel: While there has been some unsettling imagery, mostly courtesy of Katherine Daille or Ali Zah Kanemi, the most nightmarish thing to happen recently has been the first deployment of the Benetnasch. Its Avance System and the Psy-Xtender Helmet used together resulted in kind, dutiful soldier Curtin undergoing More than Mind Control and becoming a nigh-on robotic Super-Soldier. The Benetnasch is also relatively scary to look at, with its Mardi Gras mask and single red eye appearing under what appears to be a bullet hole...
  • Dark Bezide's fighting style.
  • Aiden Arcane aka Nosferatu, probably skinning a guy to assume his appearance. The man is freaky as it is, with the fact he's sixty five but looks very young, and the fact all his sons have apparently learned their depravity from him, but the scene where Aiden walks into a room with a panicking guy with a Slasher Smile is utterly chilling.
  • Aiden's sons are no slouches - Howard Arcane, the most noticeably frightening of them, is a very disturbing pedophile who is allowed to commit his vile crimes due to everyone being scared of Aiden Arcane. What's worse, Aiden encourages this. Howard is even introduced burying a child's body. Its telling that the cannibal sadomasochist is the least terrifying member of the family.
  • Devin Welspring. The marriage of Creepy Child, Enfant Terrible, Ace Pilot and The Sociopath, at all of seven Devin's giggling like a lunatic as he flies around fighting against a number of opponents, and earlier made himself known through trying to incite a war together with Ali all because he saw the whole thing as a game, and people as nothing but pieces he can either move or "discard"
  • The reality that Britannia's military is willing to tinker with their own soldiers just to maintain some kind of edge in the Eastern Areas.
  • Lak'Shas' murder of Evan is like something right out of a horror movie. Then there's the Mind Screw elements as to just how much of what Evan was seeing was real, and the final, horrific moment.
  • The Jagdor was normally a rather unsettling machine, but it recently one upped itself - after Charlie badly damaged the Seiryu, it took the opportunity to indulge in what it was programmed to do. Except it ate the Seiryu and forced a merger of some sort of its pieces and the Jagdor itself. The result is a horrifying abomination that causes some nightmarish visions and causing Charlie - a psychic - to feel unable to look at it.
• Trapped by Mountain Lions: Lisa Carver, why do we care what you are doing... averted in the start of R2.
