Top 10 Best Code Geass Characters
Lelouch is my favorite character of all time. Even though I knew that lots of the things he did were wrong, I couldn't help but root for him. You watch him develop from someone who wants revenge and to make the world better for his sister to someone who is willing to risk everything for the world and to make it a better place, even though the world and the people in it did nothing for him.
Lelouch sacrificed so much but got nothing in return. I have never cried over anyone so much before I watched this show. He said some amazing quotes and did some jaw-dropping things. The one you think cares the least loves the most.
Lelouch is unpredictable, spectacular, memorable, loving, and selfless, but he is undoubtedly flawed, and he is undoubtedly my hero.
Easily one of my favorite characters of all time. He was so complex, and it was fun to watch him whenever he was on screen. He went from being a kind person doing his best to help beat the system while coping with killing his father to being hell-bent on fulfilling his duties and trying to justify his actions despite losing himself.
I think Suzaku is the best character for many reasons, the biggest reason being he is the voice of reason and, by extension, the moral compass, who occasionally goes astray because of Lelouch's actions. Despite what Lelouch was trying to do, he was still a cocky narcissist who flagrantly disregarded civilian lives, which is why I can never get behind him.
I also have personal issues with intelligent people who are cocky know-it-alls. Suzaku is a love-love character in my opinion, and Lelouch is a love-hate character no matter how you see it.
After all she's been through, I would proudly say that C.C. is the most powerful female anime character in terms of both physical and mental strength. The pain and agony of being killed thousands of times! She was tortured to death by various methods, was not loved by anyone, and was used by most - even Lelouch to a point. She wanted to be loved truly, not through obsession or force.
Lelouch later understood this and was able to fulfill her desire. Lelouch helped her in many ways. Lelouch and C.C. is the best ship in the anime universe. Too bad I don't know her real name.
The one purely normal person who manages to still be completely badass, often outshining those listed higher than her on this list, even though they have powers (Suzaku's physical abilities are a power in my opinion - dodging bullets).
I love my Kallen. She's just badass and would have stuck with Zero till the end.
Her courage, skill, and boobs are why I chose her.
As much as I loved Lelouch and C.C. for their badass actions, looks, and personalities, I adored Nunnally's sweet, innocent existence that Lelouch had tried to protect. Despite her young age, her maturity is far superior to 99% of the people in the whole anime series.
He's one of my favorite characters of all time. I love his attitude and he's also super handsome. Having no respect for anyone really makes him a great complement to Suzaku.
Absolute legend and certified arsehole. Doesn't care about anything but his machines. His carefree attitude and loyalty to his own desires is admirable.
My absolute favorite character. He is a self-proclaimed sociopath. That's what I love about him.
I disagree with the comment claiming she takes away from the plot. Shirley is a fantastic character, emphasizing the stark contrast between Lelouch's two lives. She beautifully represents the simple, carefree, peaceful world Lelouch must give up to pursue his goals. (C.C. is still Best Girl)
She understood that Lulu was alone and wanted to help despite everything he had done. She was a simple and normal character with perfect development throughout the series.
Plot-wise, she may not have fit in that well, but her personality was delightful and she was so adorable.
She's the one character that brings out a smile and laughter from me when I watch Code Geass. Thanks to her, the show has comedy and liveliness. I love her. Madam President, you're the best.
Very cool character, always smiled and brought a little humor to the show. I wish she had a more prominent role than just the comedic relief, though.
Best character evolution in all of history! I always loved him because I'm always cheering for the underdogs, but seeing him get to the top after all his failures was very satisfying and enjoyable.
Orange is also 200% loyalty, which is amazing!
This guy is just the most awesome character, so underrated. He was just so loyal. Go Orange-kun!
Orange. Morals, integrity, loyalty, and somehow exactly the type of guy I'd love to have a beer with.
My favorite character had always been changing as I watched the anime. It was always a competition between Lelouch and Suzaku. Well, that was what happened while I was watching R1.
When Rolo came into the series, I thought he was a cute kid and a nice younger brother. Don't misunderstand, that was what I thought before I found out that Rolo worked for Britannia. Before that, I thought he would be a nice character and that I would like him. After that, I was proved wrong. I didn't just like him. I loved him!
His Geass ability was truly awesome, maybe even better than Lelouch's. He received it when he was just six years old, and he was a pro at using it at that time too! "Ward of Absolute Suspension," wow!
But do you love someone just because of their abilities? Do you? It's his personality that makes him my favorite. The deeds he did, the intentions he had - those are the things that matter, right?
All his life he had been used. He knew nothing other than that. But he truly acknowledged the time he spent with his 'older brother' when Lelouch's memories were erased. And he was happy about it! He felt that his life hadn't been a waste. He felt that it was all good as he had finally witnessed some happiness!
He saved Lelouch when everyone had betrayed him, even though it cost Rolo his life. And he didn't do it under anyone's command or order. He did it of his own free will!
I'm glad that Lelouch finally acknowledged him as his younger brother. And Rolo was an awesome one too! I wish I had a younger brother like him. At his death, I was really sad, and I wanted nothing more than for Lelouch to avenge Britannia for what they did to Rolo. Well, indirectly it was they who killed him, right? But now that I think about it, Lelouch and Rolo wouldn't have ever met if it hadn't been for them, and Rolo would have never known what happiness was like. But it doesn't clear the awful things they did to Rolo and everyone else, does... more
Of course she was a little bit too idealistic, but her intentions were real and came from the bottom of her heart. Yes, she was naive but also smart, as she was the first person who realized Zero's true identity. She was so young. She would have become a good and wise adult. Also, she could break the Geass before her death because of her love for Suzaku. She deserved a better destiny!
She deserved so much better. I shipped her and Suzaku so much. She was the absolute kindest character in the whole show aside from Lelouch.
The way she treated Nina warmed my heart.
I loved that guy. He was just so fun.
She was Lelouch's first serious enemy and also his sister. Throughout the show, she had good intentions.
Cornelia was just so cool, a great sister and leader. She didn't deserve what she got.
She was pretty cool and probably my favorite female character in anime.
The only character in the show who was at the same strategic level as Lelouch (apart from maybe Charles). He was so cold, precise, and smart.
Also, so underrated. The perfect villain.
I don't see why he's so far down the list. He was, after all, the true "antagonist" of the series. Cool, caring, calculating, realistic, and a goddamn genius. Probably the most underrated character ever.
Cool, kind, and ruthless at the same time. He is the master of tactics and strategy. Only he had the potential to beat Lelouch, but unfortunately lost to Lelouch's Geass power.
I feel like the Knights of the Round did not have enough screen time. Why is Gino my favorite character? He is easy-going and fun but at the same time serious and kind to fellow characters, especially Anya and Suzaku.
Gino is a funny, nice, but at the same time serious and easy-going character. I think that the Knights of Round did not get enough screen time compared to the others.
Honestly, what a savage. All of the scientists in this show are so carefree and quirky. Her funny character always makes me laugh.
She is the mastermind behind the Guren Mk-II and is AWESOME. Besides, she is so hot! I love her carefree attitude.
She is the mastermind behind the Guren Mk-II and she is AWESOME. And she is so hot! I love her carefree attitude.
Honestly, this man is one of those characters who is so good at everything that they have to give him a shortened lifespan. He was crazy powerful and intelligent but still showed great loyalty towards his princess.
Very interesting character to watch throughout the series. He has an interesting perspective.
Just an interesting character in general, whom I was surprised to not appear on this list. Cunning, fanatic, charismatic, and funny hairstyle in one package.
Super underrated character. A scene-stealer.
She is the best example of a person changing into a more tolerant individual. I love these Japanese-Britannian couples who show the power of love and the unnecessary nature of war, distrust, and intolerance!
God, I hated her at first but grew to love her. Not Ohgi though. He's still lame.
Absolute monster and terror in battle. Although his ability became seriously downplayed in the second season, he is a character necessary as the raw strength.
Anya is a very funny character because of her lack of common sense. No offense. Who would pilot a Knightmare into a school to find a person and create an outrage that brought highly ranked officials to the school?
Anya is a funny character because of her lack of common sense. Who would pilot their Knightmare and create an outrage that will bring highly ranked officials to a school? Anya, of course.
Anya x Gino
A sorrowful kid. I hope he can understand that his life is important to himself and to all the allies who care about him very much.
