Code Lyoko is an Animesque show that was written and produced in France in English and French for simultaneous release in its home nation as well as the US — and about 160 other countries.It follows the adventures of a group of teenage students at a Boarding School who discover a supercomputer in the basement of a nearby abandoned factory. The computer has modules that allow people from the real world to "virtualize" into the Cyberspace of Lyoko, where an evil A.I. named XANA is apparently hunting down a pink-haired girl named Aelita. The computer also has the ability to effect a temporal recursion (in Layman's Terms, rewind time) up to 24 hours in the real world. The show's primary aesthetic hook was that scenes in the real world are depicted in 2D animation, while scenes on Lyoko are animated in CGI.XANA manifests in Lyoko indirectly through a variety of monsters with various attacks and tactics, trying to capture Aelita and repulse her protectors from the real world. XANA also attacks the real world, which at first resembles the results of The Cracker, doing damage through various interfaces, but these attacks slowly gain a supernatural edge, including summoning monsters in the real world, and possession of students and teachers.The students often use the Return to the Past function to repair damage and effect a kind of Masquerade to protect Aelita, however with the knowledge that death is permanent -- not even time travel will bring them back.The five main characters (Aelita and her protectors) are occasionally referred to as "The Lyoko Warriors" or Team Lyoko. See the character sheet for individual descriptions.The episode recaps of all the episodes can be found here.The entire show is officially available on YouTube in both English and French, as well as being added to most regional versions of Netflix on 1st October, 2020 (in widescreen, and in better quality).There is a short (5 minutes long) film made in 2001 by the creators of the show, Garage Kids, that is considered a test pilot for the series. It introduces the main characters and some future elements of Code Lyoko, though there are differences both visually and plot-wise. Code Lyoko began broadcast in France in 2003 on France 3 and Canal J, and in the United States in 2004 on Cartoon Network. The TV series ended in 2007 after four seasons and 97 episodes (including a two-parter prequel).In the summer of 2011, a new twenty-six episode series was confirmed to be in production, titled Code Lyoko: Evolution, and it was released in fall the following year. Evolution is a continuation of the original show, with live-action replacing the 2D segments. All tropes relating to this series should go on its page.Between the two TV series, a novel series was produced by Atlantyca Entertainment. The series, originally written in Italian, takes place in a heavily expanded Alternate Continuity which promises to tie up some of the plot threads left hanging by the show. The series is officially available in 11 languages, not including English. However, an English fan-translation of the series is available for download here. The series includes the following books: The Underground Castle: March 2009 (Italy), September 2010 (France) The City with No Name: November 2009 (I), March 2011 (F) The Return of the Phoenix: April 2010 (I) The Army of Nothing: November 2010 (I)A Code Lyoko stage show was also produced and performed in Spain in March of 2011. | |

Code Lyoko / int_10d36992 | comment |
Parrying Bullets: Ulrich is practically the equal to any Jedi Master at doing this, able to use his katana to deflect the energy weapons of XANA's mooks with relative ease. Yumi can also do it with her fans, but she's not as good at it as Ulrich is, and has a tendency to let shots slip through from time to time. | |

Stop, or I Shoot Myself!: A variation is used where Aelita's friends threaten to kill her before the Scyphozoa can Mind Probe her (which would kill her too), forcing XANA to order the monster to release her. In "Hot Shower", Aelita sets up a situation where the Supercomputer can't be destroyed without killing her, and XANA aborts his Colony Drop attempt (as he needs her alive, so he can lure out Franz Hopper from the Digital Sea). | |

Code Lyoko / int_1206d299 | comment |
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: In Season 2, while XANA wants to wipe out the rest of the Lyoko Warriors, he needs Aelita alive until her memory can be taken. This condition has actually caused XANA and the Lyoko Warriors to work together to protect Aelita on a few occasions. It also happens in Season 4, as he needed her alive to lure Franz Hopper, to the point of stopping a perfect attack because it was going to off Aelita as well. | |

Card-Carrying Villain: XANA, over the course of the series is revealed to be one of these. Given he has no true physical form, we only learn this via his actions the rare times he speaks through a polymorphic specter or XANA-William. He is well aware he is by human definition: evil; and he savors every sadistic second of his attacks. | |

Darker and Edgier: The books have a more adult tone to them than the show, prominently featuring a terrorist organization out to dominate the world, the conspiracies of The Men in Black, and children being forced to fight in war. Not against XANA in Lyoko, but actually fight for their lives in the real world. There are also some individual depictions of harsh violence, such as the scene where Jérémie electrocutes Grigory, or the flashback of Aelita getting shot in the head. | |

The Worf Effect | |
Code Lyoko / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Once at the start of every season: Season 2 begins with Yumi, Odd and Ulrich being soundly defeated by a Tarantula. The first episode of season 3 hints Aelita is on the road to becoming the strongest Lyoko warrior, only for the following one to put her right back into the Damsel in Distress role by having the Scyphozoa No-Sell her newfound abilities. Finally, season 4 shows Jérémie has upgraded the Lyoko Warriors' arsenal. Xanafied William still wipes the floor with everyone until the Replikas plotline actually begins. | |

All There in the Manual | |
Code Lyoko / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: A lot of the "game" mechanics in Lyoko are rarely if ever explained in the show itself (and are often contradictory there); we only know about them because of supplementary material. And even then, despite figures given about every combatant's weapons and Life Points, everything defaults to the Rule of Drama. Any shot fired will either miss wildly, bring its target to a ridiculously low amount of Life Points, or inflict a one-hit kill. The monsters' laser beam can be stopped by the Lyoko Warriors' defenses, though. In addition, it's stated elsewhere that Aelita loses half her life points every time she uses her Creativity, despite the fact that in-universe there's no evidence to suggest this is true. | |

And then the tables turn in Season 4's "Hot Shower", in which Aelita gets herself devirtualized to make XANA choose between letting an incoming asteroid destroy the Supercomputer (and her with it) or destroy it with the good old Kill Sat to give both of them another day (as XANA needs Aelita to lure out Franz Hopper). | |

On Three: In "Sabotage", Ulrich, Aelita and Odd are in Lyoko and need to get out. Ulrich comes up with a plan: they'll stand in a circle and each will simultaneously hit one of the others with an attack, so that they'll all devirtualize. But first, Odd asks if they're going on three or after three. | |

Never Recycle a Building | |
Code Lyoko / int_1cfd9ec9 | comment |
Never Recycle a Building: The kids go to an abandoned factory every episode. There's never any presence of demolition crews, and the plot only revolves around saving the factory from destruction when it's some attack from XANA — at least in the animated series. The non-canon spin-off comics have one story with a demolition crew about to raze the Factory, before being thwarted by the kids. Ironically, the actual factory that the series' was based on was demolished in 2004. There is also the Hermitage, a posh house in the woods that is left abandoned for 10 years. However, there are some hints of squatting (vandalism, tags on the walls...) and since the first time Team Lyoko visited it XANA was playing poltergeist, this might have chased any squatter earlier and gave it a Haunted House reputation. | |

Heroic Suicide: Attempted but thankfully averted. Fed up with XANA and the threat he poses to humanity, Aelita shuts down the supercomputer. Due to XANA's "virus," doing this causes Aelita to either die or become comatose. Fortunately, Jérémie revives her by reactivating the supercomputer before she's gone for good. | |

Sissi's entire Alpha Bitch personality is a result of Ulrich, who was more of a Jerkass back then, mistreating her at the end of the pilot for something she had no memory of doing and shunning her away from him and his friends. To his credit, in the series finale he's the one to mend bridges and let Sissi join the group. | |

Your Mind Makes It Real | |
Code Lyoko / int_234073a4 | comment |
Your Mind Makes It Real: Justifies the phantom pains felt by Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd upon taking damage, since they're non-natives to Lyoko. In one episode, a virus uploaded into the computer by XANA makes it TOO real, with one shot hitting causing immense and dramatic pain. Jérémie has theorized that a person's Lyoko form is reflective of his personality, subconscious desires, and dreams. For example, Yumi's pride in her heritage gave her the appearance of a Geisha, while Ulrich's lionhearted nature gave him the form of a Samurai. | |

Parody Sue: Brynja Heringsdötir, Sissi's Icelandic penpal from the season 4 episode "Kadic Bombshell". She's beautiful, popular, and perfect in every way. All the boys want her, all the girls want to be her. She's also shallow and vapid, treats people like crap, and ruins everything she touches to the point that it comes as a bit of a surprise that she's not one of XANA's specters sent to disrupt the kids' activities. At the end, Sissi sends her off to stay with her cousin in the country in order to not have to deal with her anymore. | |

Unknown Rival: Sissi. She considers Yumi her rival, but Yumi for the most part barely acknowledges a rivalry, most likely knowing Sissi is a Hopeless Suitor anyway. Also, Herb seems to consider Jérémie a rival in school achievements. Jérémie doesn't notice. | |

Code Lyoko / int_2534ee67 | comment |
In Medias Res: The show starts without a Pilot or Premiere episode, almost a year after the fight against XANA began. There was no explanation of how Team Lyoko discovered the Supercomputer, programmed their virtual avatar appearances and abilities, or came to meet Aelita, until a two-parts prequel in Season 3. Many episodes also begin in the middle of the action on Lyoko. This strongly implies that not all of XANA's attacks are shown, several happening off-screen. There is even a How We Got Here in "Bragging Rights". | |

Kid Hero | |
Code Lyoko / int_2673425b | comment |
Kid Hero: The heroes are in their early teens. The show can be considered a very dark deconstruction of this trope. The lives of these kids is very bleak due to XANA. They face very real dangers and start to become desensitized to the horrible things that XANA causes. This take on the trope also comes up as part of the plots later with the kids showing their frustration at balancing their teenage lives and stopping XANA. The consequences of having to fight while still being teens who have to attend school begins having adverse effects on their grades and stresses their families (especially Yumi who has a few episodes dedicated to her parents demanding explanations for various weird behaviors of hers which are linked to going to Lyoko). Despite this, It gets to a point that most of them are reluctant to actually shutdown the computer at the end of the series because they are just so used to having to fight and each has an attachment to this life for their own reasons. In the episode "Routine", Ulrich becomes fed up with the constant XANA attacks and decides to do something different to feel a bit better. The next day, he's seen talking to another student (Emily LeDuc), and Jérémie points out to Yumi that it isn't a big deal given his mood. You'd almost forget for a second they're teens and don't get much socializing outside their circle of friends. | |

Shoot the Dog: The first time that the party dematerialized one of their number with their weapons, it looked like this, with Yumi sounding grimly resolute when she suggested it. Later on, as the gang becomes more experienced, it becomes more of an accepted way of salvaging the mission when Jérémie is unable to act. Aelita intentionally invoking Code: XANA and nuking the Ice Sector in "Sabotage", saving the rest of the Supercomputer. | |

Plot Armor | |
Code Lyoko / int_2a44899 | comment |
Plot Armor: The Lyoko Warriors are sometimes shown surviving an otherwise deadly attack if the plot calls for it. One of the biggest examples is Odd not being devirtualized after being slashed in the face by William in the episodes "Replika" and "Bragging Rights". XANA-William is often devirtualized or defeated due to this for example in episodes such as "Bad Luck", where he could've easily dodged the falling pillar with his Super Smoke, "Replika" and "Bragging Rights", where he should've instantly devirtualized Odd the second the latter was hit by William's Zweïhander (it's not explained how Odd tanked the attack), "Distant Memory" where he could've killed Franz Hopper with one simple Sword Beam, and much, much more episodes. As codelyoko.fr puts it : In the episode "Franz Hopper", there is absolutely no way XANA should have lost. He's successfully manipulated the group to kick out Jérémie, has Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd trapped on Lyoko without weapons, has hacked the virtualization process so their devirtualization would have actually killed them, has Aelita isolated, and has complete control of the supercomputer. Jérémie's chances of defeating XANA's spectre were pretty much nil, so the writers suddenly has him program a clone Aelita on the fly to take Aelita's place and taunt the spectre, causing it to leave the computer unguarded. This lets Jérémie sit down just long enough to help Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd before the spectre comes back and starts strangling Jérémie, raising the question of why he just didn't do that the moment Jérémie showed up. | |

Nom de Mom: Aelita eventual reveals offhand that she previously used this. After her father left Project Carthage and wanted to start over, he started going by his middle name and the family started using his wife's maiden name. His first name wasn't revealed on the show itself, but the closing credits sequence suggests it was Waldo, and we know his (and Aelita's) original last name was Schaeffer. Hopper came from her mother. This never becomes a plot point, and when she selects a new last name for herself, she picks Stones. | |

Warrior Therapist | |
Code Lyoko / int_2d9a193d | comment |
Aelita was initially characterized as a borderline saint and barely emoted beyond what was expected of an (at the time) A.I. unfamiliar with complex emotions, occasionally functioning as something of a Warrior Therapist to Jérémie. Season Two onward, while not sacrificing these traits entirely, gives her more nuances such as playfully snarking/taunting others such as Sissi or the enemies on Lyoko and not above getting frustrated/annoyed with her teammates on occasion, including Jérémie. These subtle shifts become understandable when you learn that Aelita wasn't originally planned to be human during Season One's production. | |

The Bad Guy Wins: This show is an extreme example. Every season except the last ended with either a stalemate either a victory for XANA, and the heroes spent most of the next season trying to undo their loss, only to be handed another crushing defeat at the end of that season. In fact, in the end, it is Franz Hopper, not the protagonists, who took most of the credit for truly defeating XANA. And even with that in mind, XANA still achieves some form of victory by killing Franz Hopper as it planned to during the season. | |

Teleporter Accident | |
Code Lyoko / int_309c05ec | comment |
Teleporter Accident: The scanners technically don't "teleport" the team, but similar accidents have happened: In "Frontier", Jérémie tries to go to Lyoko to apologize to Aelita after an argument, but Yumi makes a mistake trying to send him there, resulting in him trapped in limbo between Lyoko and the real world, and in danger of disappearing completely. (Rescuing him ultimately requires Ulrich to kiss Sissi and go out with her for a month.) In "Dog Day Afternoon", Odd tries to take Kiwi with him to Lyoko, only for the scanner to merge them into one body, giving him no end of trouble until Jérémie can reverse the problem. In "Triple Trouble", Jérémie programs a new ability for Odd's Lyoko form to replace the precognitive visions he had lost; unfortunately, this causes the scanners to malfunction when he returns to Earth, causing three of him to emerge. (and they can't get along or cooperate with each other at all.) In "A Fine Mess", a bug in the scanners causes Odd and Yumi to experience a "Freaky Friday" Flip; but then it gets much worse. Going to Lyoko like this make them unstable and at risk of being deleted permanently. Fixing it requires going to Sector V so Aelita can access XANA's private files in the Celestial Dome access computer, which she does at the last minute. | |

Shipper on Deck: The whole gang for Jérémie and Aelita. They spend season one risking not only their own lives but the entire world so that Jérémie can come face to face with his virtual girlfriend. Yumi's little brother Hiroki for Yumi and Ulrich. Odd also shows hints (he buys Yumi a present in Ulrich's name to smooth out a misunderstanding and gives Yumi a very flattering and heartfelt explanation for why Ulrich might have embarrassed hernote Ulrich is taking the blame for Odd in this case, so the defense is justified, but he could have gone about it differently). The end credits for the first season include a shot of Jérémie and Odd pushing an embarrassed Yumi and Ulrich toward one another, implying that they're this. For the most part, though, in the actual show they're not. | |

Sissi gets a lot as well. In "Frontier", she can't stand the thought of helping Yumi, and insists that Ulrich date her for several weeks. Later, in "Missing Link", she's prepared to help Yumi for no reward whatsoever. Her role in the two-part prequel further helps develop her character, her relationship with the heroes improves throughout the series, and by the end, her becoming an "official" friend just feels RIGHT. | |

Super Drowning Skills: Falling into the Digital Sea is immediately lethal for the Lyoko Warriors or the monsters. The backstroke in ordinary bodies of water, however, is perfectly fine for the heroes (but terrestrial monsters can't swim). Although it is confirmed in Season 4 that the Digital Sea is not a literal sea, but rather the edge of Lyoko. Also, it's implied in "Cruel Dilemma" that the person wouldn't actually die, but simply be trapped, unable to return. | |

Code Lyoko / int_35022c20 | comment |
No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Averted in general. Hopper was a leading scientist working for a powerful organization; of course he made a ton of detailed notes. He wasn't able to bring all of them with him when he fled, so The Men in Black were able to scrap together their own virtual reality equipment from what he left behind. The memory gauntlet had its plans stolen by Ulrich's father. It was presented to and recreated by Dido and the Green Phoenix. The original creator was also able to rebuild it using spare notes. Not wanting his work to fall into enemy hands but also not wanting it completely destroyed, Hopper (with permission) downloaded all of it into Aelita's brain, should she ever need to enter Code DOWN. Thus she's able to rebuild everything in the epilogue. Played With for XANA. He notes that it's impossible to make a backup of himself after his Heel–Face Turn; he's too human now. Aelita's still able to bring him back in the epilogue, but only because their childhood past gave her enough memories of his humanity to work with. | |

Never Recycle Your Schemes: XANA, with a few exceptions (like multiple uses of polymorphic clones), never tries the same attack twice. Sometimes, especially in the first season, the group takes action to prevent him from repeating a scheme, but other times you have to wonder why he doesn't just repeat an attack with a few modifications, considering the kids are so often only Just in Time to defeat him, sometimes within a few seconds. | |

Feud Episode | |
Code Lyoko / int_3743ef88 | comment |
Feud Episode: Happens several times to several characters. Yumi's parents in the episode "Laughing Fit", which fuels the conflict for Yumi who dislikes hearing her parents argue. In "Routine", Ulrich begins hanging out with Emily which results in a huge argument between him and Yumi when Yumi believes a lie by Sissi that "Emily and Ulrich have been going out for two months." "Saint Valentines Day" has a similar conflict where Ulrich sees William give Yumi flowers and gets jealous, and spurns Yumi for a fling-date with Sissi, putting the two at odds. The plan XANA employs in "XANA's Kiss" is having a spectre go about taking the form of the various Lyoko Warriors while they kiss random people with the intention of upsetting everyone. Ultimately Jérémie catches onto the ruse when he begins seriously thinking about the situation without being emotionally reactive. In "Aelita", both Odd and Aelita go to Lyoko against Jérémie's wishes due to an argument between Jérémie and Aelita. This ends up being a good thing. In "Replika", Aelita is told by Odd to give a lie about him not being in class. When her lie (Odd being in the infirmary) is proven false, Odd is in trouble for playing hooky, and Aelita is in trouble for lying. Both blame the other for their situation, with Odd mad at Aelita for lying poorly and Aelita mad at Odd for having her lie in the first place because he's lazy. Yumi becomes enraged with her brother Hiroki in "Lost at Sea" when he takes her diary. He tries to make things right, but loses the contents of the diary. Much of the rest of the episode is spent with Yumi trapped on Lyoko thinking about the good times with her brother, and is much softer towards him when she returns. It also helps that Ulrich drops her diary off in her room, leaving her to believe Hiroki returned it. | |

Batman Gambit | |
Code Lyoko / int_38d02d44 | comment |
An even worse one is in the episode "Franz Hopper". XANA's spectre has disabled the materialization program, destroyed the Lyoko warriors' weapons and apparently left Aelita stranded on the Desert Sector to have her memories drained. Jérémie confronts it and exposes its true identity, causing the creature to push him aside. Rather than finish the boy off, XANA calmly sits down and starts taunting him about how he has lost... cue Aelita revealing her Batman Gambit and sending the Scyphozoa into a seizure. This in turn causes the spectre to suffer a Villainous Breakdown, the anger and disbelief at being tricked causing its body to destabilize just long enough for Jérémie to take control of the Supercomputer and assist his friends in stopping XANA's attack. | |

Character Development | |
Code Lyoko / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Many characters on the show. Aelita goes through the most out of all of the characters, becoming increasingly less naïve, less impulsively selfless, more worldly wise and much more of an Action Girl as time goes on. The never-seen XANA. Initially, all he tries to do is wreak havoc with little to no forethought. From season two onwards, he has clear objectives which he puts a lot of thought into fulfilling. In addition, he becomes more powerful with each season. Sissi gets a lot as well. In "Frontier", she can't stand the thought of helping Yumi, and insists that Ulrich date her for several weeks. Later, in "Missing Link", she's prepared to help Yumi for no reward whatsoever. Her role in the two-part prequel further helps develop her character, her relationship with the heroes improves throughout the series, and by the end, her becoming an "official" friend just feels RIGHT. William, even though it's more subtle. He starts out as Ulrich's rival for Yumi's heart, almost turns into a Stalker with a Crush to Yumi in Season 3 (even though he doesn't actually stalks her) who has trouble taking no for an answer, and matures in his few appearances in Season 4 as himself, actually able to take a no for an answer, and ready to seriously helps the Lyoko-warriors despite them rejecting him. More subtly, the group as a whole becomes a lot closer throughout the four seasons. In earlier episodes (especially before Aelita was materialized), the group are often very disjointed to the point where it's questionable if they even like each other. By season four, they've managed to evolve into True Companions (partly out of necessity), and while there are still frequent Teeth-Clenched Teamwork scenarios (Rule of Drama at play), they always forgive each other in the end. | |

Noodle Incident | |
Code Lyoko / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Given the amount of times Jim would "rather not talk about it", the man seems to be made entirely of this trope. It is slightly subverted in the episode "I'd Rather Not Talk About It" (of course), in which Jim does talk about it, although it's only with Jérémie and we don't get to hear it. Nevertheless, it causes Jérémie to gain a healthy respect for Jim. Even better, at a skate demo, when Jim shows he is knowledgeable about skateboarding, it is a time when he does want to talk about it; rather, he is a little busy and doesn't have time to talk about it right then. Two minor ones are also referred to in the episode "Crash Course". (What exactly DID happen in the gym and at the swimming pool?) Three if you count whatever led to the protocol moniker "Big Fat Cheese-Head". | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: The first Tarantula to show up beat the whole team at once. When the group fights Xanafied William the first time, he devirtualizes them easily. In the start of Season 4, he still curb-stomp them, and even after his first defeats, he can still put up a fight and even win. The first time Ulrich and Aelita encounters the Kolossus, they are devirtualized within seconds. And all it does to take them out is swing its arm. | |

Imaginary Love Triangle: Richard, one of Aelita's now-adult classmates, thought he was in one with her when they were kids. He recalls that one day, she made a new friend who she'd talk about non-stop, and the way her eyes sparkled led him to believe her friend was a handsome foreigner who'd swept her off her feet. Hilariously enough, this friend was XANA. | |

The Greatest Story Never Told: This was lampshaded a couple of times throughout the series. The group has been risking their lives fighting XANA and saving the world for years, and no one will remember it but themselves. A minor example occurs in "Maiden Voyage", where the incredibly nonathletic Jérémie scales the dorm roof of Kadic to get to his room due to a fire safety drill prohibiting access to the building. Odd (jokingly) correctly guesses that Jérémie did that, but nobody actually believes him. | |

Strictly Formula: For the first season, the plot of just about every episode is: Something strange happens around the school. Jérémie correctly thinks it's XANA, Odd doesn't. Jérémie and one or two of the Lyoko Warriors go to the factory. The remaining one or two of the three must stay behind in danger to heighten the drama. The virtualized Warriors fight 3-5 monsters while escorting Aelita to the tower. The in-danger team members are saved Just in Time by the tower de-activation plus a Return to the Past. The team returns to a scene from the beginning of the episode, usually Played for Laughs. | |

Deus ex Machina: In "Cruel Dilemma", Odd drops some candy on Jérémie's keyboard, which somehow types out the exact line of code he needed to finish his materialization program. This is, however, portrayed as not entirely positive: the code seems to work, but Jérémie can't check, edit, or duplicate it because the dropped candy also caused it to compile, and some angst is had in the course of the episode as a result. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
Code Lyoko / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: In the first episode, Milly was insecure to the point of coming across as psychotic, getting emotional at the drop of a hat, and talking to her teddy bear when she's alone. For most of the series afterward, she's a perfectly normal girl. Jim was portrayed as slightly rougher around the edges in Season One compared to the rest of the series plus his "I'd rather not talk about it" catchphrase didn't exist. Sissi was never especially book smart early on, but most of her manipulation tactics the first season highly implied she, at least, had a fair amount of street smarts and was admittedly pretty crafty albeit underhanded. Most of this vanished when Season Two came along, which turned her into more of a bumbling ditz whose strategies barely got off the ground before Ulrich or somebody else shot them down. Her vindictiveness was also toned down as she became a kinder person. Odd, while always portrayed as a jokester and bad at school, was, similar to Sissi, shown to have some basic street smarts and had a future-flash ability that implied he was a bit more complex than what the audience was meant to believe. Come Season Two, he was dumbed down considerably and the future-flash was never seen again until a throwaway exchange in Season Three explained it away as Jérémie accidentally deleted the ability and never restored it due to its inherent uselessness.note Any time Odd would have a vision, it always came to pass with no chance of it ever being defied. The first instance of it even had him be responsible for the event to occur i.e. Aelita almost plunging to her death. Yumi and Ulrich's feelings for each other was presented somewhat healthier in Season One on the count of Sissi being more unlikable and the absence of William Dunbar. They had their tense moments such as the tail-end of "Frontier" and most of "Routine", but more-often-than-not they seemed more understanding of each other and not so quick to assume the worst whenever Sissi was blackmailing Ulrich. Aelita was initially characterized as a borderline saint and barely emoted beyond what was expected of an (at the time) A.I. unfamiliar with complex emotions, occasionally functioning as something of a Warrior Therapist to Jérémie. Season Two onward, while not sacrificing these traits entirely, gives her more nuances such as playfully snarking/taunting others such as Sissi or the enemies on Lyoko and not above getting frustrated/annoyed with her teammates on occasion, including Jérémie. These subtle shifts become understandable when you learn that Aelita wasn't originally planned to be human during Season One's production. William, in Season Two, is shown to be an adequate swimmer during trips to the pool, but come Season Three when he's hanging off a bridge with Yumi over a canal, he confesses that he can't swim period despite the prior outings. | |

Code Lyoko / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Sissi. She's supposed to be the Alpha Bitch, but you would be hard pressed to find a character outside her cronies and father that doesn't enjoy constantly insulting her to her face. This gets awkward when the prequel comes around and it's revealed that she's basically involved in a kind of Vicious Cycle, acting like the Alpha Bitch in response to the bad treatment she gets from everyone else, which is essentially a response to her Alpha Bitch behavior. The Lyoko kids do manage to break this cycle in the finale, and Sissi does prove that she's been a Jerk with a Heart of Gold all along. Odd gets little respect and is constantly failing at various goals he pursues, such as holding on to a girlfriend (though, to be fair, it doesn't help that he dates multiple girls at the same time). He also is notoriously bad at school that even the teachers mock him for it publicly. Let's not forget the constant dissing he gets from his friends, most infamously them stealing his own virtual pet toy and giving it to Yumi's little brother, who soon afterwards breaks it. And also, as he himself lampshades, he's the sole character whose Lyoko form "looks like a nitwit". | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
Code Lyoko / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: The First City and Lyoko were created as a giant pile of cans inside cans, and at the very heart of the First City, in a castle, is Project Carthage. Unable to destroy it, Hopper instead locked it up so that its massive destructive potential would never see the light of day. | |

Race Against the Clock | |
Code Lyoko / int_496569e8 | comment |
Race Against the Clock: Grigory shuts off the supercomputer in the climax of the fourth book. Because of its massive size, Jérémie notes it'll take a few minutes to finish shutting down, but once it does, the battle will be lost before it starts, his friends will be trapped inside, and XANA will just die since he doesn't have a backup. Better cancel the shutdown quickly! | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In episode 29, "Exploration", Ulrich voices his desire to just shut down the Supercomputer and be done with it. This leads to the following comment from Odd:note Note, though, that "you missed an episode" is a perfectly valid French expression in everyday conversation. Still this trope, here.

Laughing Gas | |
Code Lyoko / int_4ae67a53 | comment |
Laughing Gas: In "Laughing Fit", Mrs. Hertz introduces nitrous oxide to the class, also calling it by this trope's name, which forces anyone who inhales it to laugh uncontrollably unless they neutralize it with water quickly. XANA takes control of the gas in an attempt to kill the heroes by making them Die Laughing, which becomes problematic when Ulrich and Yumi are at school without water to help them. Jérémie is forced to run in the sewers on foot because he can't risk staying in the freezing sewer water for too long, and Odd gets a whiff of the gas just before he's virtualized into Lyoko, which severely weakens him and leaves him disoriented throughout the crisis. | |

Break the Cutie: In the "Mysterious City" flashback, XANA was a token cutie. Then he got infected with a virus which made him so dangerous, Hopper kept his Only Friend Aelita away out of fear. This exacerbated the virus' effect on him, making him lose his memories and leaving him with a void he filled the only way he could—with hate. | |

Friend-or-Idol Decision: Conducted in Season 1's "Cruel Dilemma" when Jérémie (with assistance from Odd's candy) creates a one-shot program to materialize Aelita, but must use it to extract Yumi from the Digital Sea. And then the tables turn in Season 4's "Hot Shower", in which Aelita gets herself devirtualized to make XANA choose between letting an incoming asteroid destroy the Supercomputer (and her with it) or destroy it with the good old Kill Sat to give both of them another day (as XANA needs Aelita to lure out Franz Hopper). | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Code Lyoko / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Not only is Season 1 almost completely different to the rest of the series, complete with a Strictly Formula format for all but the two-parter at the end of the seasonnote On the DVD release, the episodes are out of order despite being numbered in the title cards, but the very earliest episodes also feature some strange nuances. The voice acting is very different, for a start (Odd and Sissi had different voice actors, and Jérémie's voice actor hadn't found the right pitch for the boy yet), and certain aspects of Lyoko act differently, such as Ulrich's clones being able to fight (rather than just being decoys), Megatank lasers not being one-hit kills, and Hornets having an acid attack for a couple episodes. The Italian Dub of Season 1 exclusively referred to the Supercomputer as "Supercalcolatore" (supercalculator), later seasons dropped this entirely and simply referred to it as Supercomputer. They also seem to have had some early trouble figuring out Odd's moveset. The first episode has him use the move Impact to damage an enemy at point-blank range without expending ammo, but this move was later given to Ulrich. In addition, his laser arrow attack looked like actual arrows in the first episode rather than just being the arrowheads from then on. Another early episode has Odd repeatedly call out the phrase "Laser Flash" when using his Laser Arrow move. And then there's his "Future Flash" ability which gave him glimpses of future events, which sounds useful until you realize he couldn't control it, and it immobilized him for several seconds while he had his vision making it useless in combat. It wasn't even particularly interesting from a narrative standpoint, which is why it was worked out in later seasons, with the season three episode "Triple trouble" mentioning that Jérémie deleted it by accident when upgrading their Lyoko avatars and then never bothered reprogramming it because he thought it was useless. Season 1 overall is extremely inconsistent with where the Return to the Past bubble even comes from, as if the animators are just thinking, "It comes outta nowhere; don't think too much about it." It's not until Season 2 and onward that the bubble has an established starting point. | |

What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Subverted; when Aelita is first materialized she often gets confused by emotions such as embarrassment, and by physical feelings such as being cold. In "Cruel Dilemma", though, Aelita is confused when Jérémie starts blushing when she says, "We can finally be face to face in the same room, touch each-other, and even kiss." | |

He can also deflect attacks (like Odd), use telekinesis (like Yumi), fire energy (like Aelita), and use at least one form of Aelita's Creativity (i.e. manipulating electronic locks). Finally, he can enter the Code: XANA in the towers. On top of that, he can No-Sell the Digital Sea thanks to that ability. | |

Badass Family | |
Code Lyoko / int_55a37945 | comment |
Badass Family: The Hopper/Schaeffer family is full of people brilliant in brains and brawn: The mother is barely seen in the original show, implied to simply live an ordinary life as the mother of Aelita, but in its sequel Evolution she is retconned into being a scientist good enough to work on Project Carthage. If looking at the Code Lyoko Chronicles novels instead, she also helped the Lyoko Warriors and XANA defeat Hannibal Mago. The father, Franz Hopper/Waldo Schaeffer, not only worked on Project Carthage, but also successfully evaded the Men in Black with his daughter Aelita, created an entire virtual world known as Lyoko, created XANA, provided vital information and help to his daughter and her friends to ensure the rebellious XANA's defeat, and did it while stuck in the Digital Sea for most of the time. The first child, Aelita Schaeffer, is, even prior to her graduation to Action Girl status in Season 3, a Teen Genius and Action Survivor ,as well as the 2nd most powerful Lyoko-warrior and 2nd smartest Lyoko-warrior, with only William and Jérémie surpassing her power and brains respectively. The second "child", XANA, an AI who gained sentience, is an insanely brilliant mastermind who pulled a two-season long Xanatos Gambit on the Lyoko-warriors, stalemated or defeated them at the end of every season barring the 4th one, nearly killed them a lot of times and even at the cost of its life, succeeded in killing Franz Hopper. | |

In "Marabounta", he creates the eponymous program as a means of fighting XANA's monsters and achieving victory much faster. It works well at first... until it detects Aelita's link to XANA, mistaking her for a threat and trying to kill her before becoming autonomous and spreading out of control throughout Lyoko; only through an Enemy Mine between the Lyoko Warriors and XANA himself is the creature stopped. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Ulrich suffers from vertigo every now and then, and some spots involving him and high places are particularly rocky. It's not that he's afraid of heights, it's that high places are more likely to agitate his condition. He tries his best to suppress this, though. Aelita has a bad thing for wolves. They frequently show up in her dreams or hallucinations. | |

The Jailer | |
Code Lyoko / int_5d464a53 | comment |
The Jailer: When XANA has a reason to take an enemy alive, he uses a Guardian, a monster Aelita describes as a "digital jail". Exactly how it captures a victim isn't known, as both times, it happens offscreen (although Aelita's reaction suggests it isn't pleasant) and once that happens, the prisoner is kept in an unconscious state inside the Guardian, which seems almost indestructible from outside force. However, it seems even dumber than XANA's other mooks, and can be fooled easily if presented with a clone or illusion of the intended target. | |

Attack Reflector: The Slow Lasers of the monsters can sometimes be reflected by Ulrich's swords, Yumi's fans or Odd's shield (and even by the landscape in the Ice Sector). Though not the most common tactic, it is occasionally used by the heroes (most often Ulrich) to destroy monsters, especially when they're out of immediate striking range. In episode "Music Soothes the Savage Beast", a mirror is used to send back the lightning attacks of XANA's specters. | |

Grey Goo: Jérémie inadvertently nearly creates this kind of disaster in "Marabounta", when he tries to use Franz Hopper's journal to use a weapon to destroy XANA's army. Naturally, the thing goes out of control (leading to a chilling scene where Yumi is Eaten Alive by the thing and devirtualized trying to protect Aelita), forcing XANA to enter an Enemy Mine situation with the heroes to save Lyoko and Aelita (as he still needs her alive at this point). This was one of several times that Jérémie made a mistake using Hopper's notes, which were clearly too complicated for him to understand. (It wouldn't be the last time.) | |

The Scyphozoa's tentacles, however, don't quite touch Aelita when they wrap around her, which happens several times (plus once to Yumi and William each). | |

Always Save the Girl: Particularly in Season 1, when Jérémie would rather risk XANA destroying the world than turning off the supercomputer and losing Aelita. The Lyoko-Warriors' strategy to deal with every attack also is a rare justified example of this trope: protecting Aelita first is the wisest decision because as long as they can get her to the Tower before anyone gets killed, the attack will be stopped and any damage fixed by the Return to the past. | |

The first time that the party dematerialized one of their number with their weapons, it looked like this, with Yumi sounding grimly resolute when she suggested it.

In "Triple Trouble", Jérémie programs a new ability for Odd's Lyoko form to replace the precognitive visions he had lost; unfortunately, this causes the scanners to malfunction when he returns to Earth, causing three of him to emerge.

Forgot About His Powers | |
Code Lyoko / int_650a309b | comment |
Forgot About His Powers: Many, many episodes would be over much sooner if Aelita just used her Creativity power to drop XANA's monsters into the Digital Sea while they are distracted. However, considering that this power required half her health to utilize, and especially in the earlier seasons where Aelita would have died if all her health points were depleted, this would have made such a move risky. Yumi could probably do the same with her Telekinesis, though she was never shown using it directly on an enemy. | |

Designated Victim | |
Code Lyoko / int_65f5c15d | comment |
Designated Victim: Aelita is XANA's primary target, although for a different reason each season: Season 1: Stopping her from deactivating the towers. Season 2: Cracking her Neuro-Vault for the Lyoko keys. Season 3: Possessing her so that she'd enter the Code: XANA and delete the Lyoko Sectors. Season 4: Throwing her in the Digital Sea to lure out Franz Hopper. Yumi too, for no plot-related reason. It runs throughout the entire series, but it's most obvious in the first half of season 1 (a batch of five consecutive episodes of her being targeted was dubbed "Pick on Yumi Week") and season 3. Of course, maybe XANA does have a logical reason for wanting to "pick on Yumi": she is the Cool Big Sis figure of the team, the most mature of the group, Ulrich's crush (and nearly as good at fighting as him), the least enthusiastic about fighting XANA (she was reluctant to do it in the pilot, and was the most willing to shut down the computer in season 4 finale) and an isolated target due to her living with her parents whereas the others are all boarders at Kadic. This not only makes her a much easier target than the others, but also means something happening to her will easily crush the morale of her teammates. Given the manipulator XANA is, it makes sense. | |

The Reveal: XANA spends the first two and a half books being unseen, as always, and acting through possession. But eventually, he makes an actual physical appearance.

Particularly savvy readers might put the clues together, but the boy in the prologue of the second novel and Aelita's mysterious childhood friend "Mr. X" are both XANA. | |

Once the code "Lyoko" has been input into a tower, anything XANA is controlling (and only what XANA is controlling) will suddenly stop, and then time will reset. At one time, this even applied to a laser that was being fired at Yumi and suddenly halted inches from her face. | |

Calling Your Attacks | |
Code Lyoko / int_71bd62b9 | comment |
They also seem to have had some early trouble figuring out Odd's moveset. The first episode has him use the move Impact to damage an enemy at point-blank range without expending ammo, but this move was later given to Ulrich. In addition, his laser arrow attack looked like actual arrows in the first episode rather than just being the arrowheads from then on. Another early episode has Odd repeatedly call out the phrase "Laser Flash" when using his Laser Arrow move. And then there's his "Future Flash" ability which gave him glimpses of future events, which sounds useful until you realize he couldn't control it, and it immobilized him for several seconds while he had his vision making it useless in combat. It wasn't even particularly interesting from a narrative standpoint, which is why it was worked out in later seasons, with the season three episode "Triple trouble" mentioning that Jérémie deleted it by accident when upgrading their Lyoko avatars and then never bothered reprogramming it because he thought it was useless. | |

Bond Villain Stupidity | |
Code Lyoko / int_7570a10c | comment |
Bond Villain Stupidity: In "Revelation", a polymorphic spectre ambushes Odd in the hermitage. Rather than off him then and there, the spectre abandons the boy in a well that slowly fills with water, intending to have him drown. When its cover is exposed, Yumi has more than enough time to find and save her friend. An even worse one is in the episode "Franz Hopper". XANA's spectre has disabled the materialization program, destroyed the Lyoko warriors' weapons and apparently left Aelita stranded on the Desert Sector to have her memories drained. Jérémie confronts it and exposes its true identity, causing the creature to push him aside. Rather than finish the boy off, XANA calmly sits down and starts taunting him about how he has lost... cue Aelita revealing her Batman Gambit and sending the Scyphozoa into a seizure. This in turn causes the spectre to suffer a Villainous Breakdown, the anger and disbelief at being tricked causing its body to destabilize just long enough for Jérémie to take control of the Supercomputer and assist his friends in stopping XANA's attack. | |

Multiple Demographic Appeal: For an action series aimed at 6 to 12-year-old boys, the show has a surprising amount of teenage and older fans of both genders. This can be explained due to amount of Fanservice from both gender, the dark theme, semi-complex plot and the well-rounded female characters balanced out with the male ones. | |

Odd doesn't believe it and rants about how various superstitions are ridiculous. However, a series of unfortunate events plague him and eventually the rest of the team starts to consider him bad luck. At the end of the episode Odd finally admits he is jinxed, only for Aelita to tell him jinxes don't exist and he has to wait for his luck to change. It does. | |

Mental Time Travel: While never explicitly confirmed, this appears to be how Return to the Past works, sending everyone's minds backwards in time and only keeping the memories of those scanned by the Supercomputer. This would also explain why it can't be used to bring the dead back to life, as they would have no consciousness to send back. | |

Cultural Translation: Despite Euro coins floating about, hacked military databases emblazoned with derivatives of the French flag, and even a frigging zoom in from a satellite showing exactly which country they are in, the English dub is adamant about the show taking place somewhere other than a French suburb. The euros are called dollars. Hilariously, in "Attack of the Zombies", Milly mentions a foreign exchange program with France. The Cantonese dub for "A Fine Mess" specifies the type of Chinese into Mandarin that Odd speaks to Yumi's parents and Yumi's reaction to Odd's Cat Girl outfit. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Aelita just wanted to find out more about her dad. Her friends just wanted to help her. Their snooping for Franz Hopper's information just alerted The Men in Black to someone sticking their noses where they shouldn't, and brings them down on their heads. Odd decides not to tell Jérémie about the memory card he found, instead bringing it to Eva. Once XANA finds out what's on the card, he takes the opportunity to possess Odd too. Franz Hopper became afraid of XANA after he was infected by Carthage, and decided to keep Aelita away for her own safety. Without his sole friend and voice of reason, XANA quickly succumbed to the virus and became a monster. | |

Missed the Call: In aforementioned prequel episode, it was Sissi, not Yumi, who found the factory with the others. She even planned on entering the "game" later, but before she did XANA got loose for the first time, and Sissi tattled because this was getting too real. As a result, the whole group was nearly arrested, and the others unsurprisingly agreed to keep her in the dark after returning to the past. Sadly, Ulrich decides to be a jerk to Sissi about it even though she doesn't remember what her mistake was, resulting in her becoming the group's Alpha Bitch nemesis for a good long while. | |

Story-Breaker Power: Triplicate. It's the only Lyoko power to not leave the user vulnerable while being performed, provides a solid defense, and the clones are capable enough to curb-stomp XANA's forces on their own (watch "Tip-top Shape" for the best example of this). It got so bad that season 4 worfed it by having William effortlessly counter the ability when it's used against him, thus intimidating Ulrich from using it again for the rest of the series. | |

Deadly Dodging | |
Code Lyoko / int_87c62ade | comment |
Deadly Dodging: Before Season 3 Aelita has no proper attack power, and the only real way she can damage the monsters (when not counting on the Lyoko Warriors) is by Deadly Dodging. In Episode 39, "A Bad Turn", alone on Lyoko, Aelita manages to get rid of a whole swarm of Frelions by flying on the Overboard and having them ram the mountain or each other. This is the main tactic used against the Megatanks. They're invulnerable to the Lyoko Warriors' attacks as long as their two half-shells are closed, but a fall in the Digital Sea will readily dispatch one. Thus, pushing them past a cliff or letting them fall victim to their own momentum whenever possible is the favored option. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality | |
Code Lyoko / int_89434320 | comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: During the first season, before the show completely found its groove, the heroes could suffer from this. Potentially justified as the characters are young teenagers. In one episode, Sissi tricks Ulrich by writing a note pretending to be Yumi, and that's considered terrible. In a different episode, Ulrich and the gang trick Herb by writing a note pretending to be Sissi, and that's considered perfectly OK! Another episode put it even further by centering morality around Yumi alone: in this episode, Odd inadvertently publish a embarrassing photo of Yumi in Kadic's newspaper, understandably making her pissed off. Scared of Yumi's wrath, Odd convinces Ulrich to take the blame for him without telling what the blame is. After Ulrich learned it and ended up with Yumi angry at him, he attempts to convince Odd to tell the truth to her, until Yumi assumes he did it because of their Unresolved Sexual Tension and forgives him, causing him to keep the silence after all. In the end, Odd finally tells the truth to Yumi, and how does she react? By being pissed off again for them "tricking her" and taking her revenge on both Ulrich and Odd by publishing a compromising photo of them in the newspaper. Yeah, because Ulrich was so nasty by taking wrongly all the blame for the sole sake of helping his best friend.... | |

Sometimes the errors are rather tame, like Ulrich saying "Super Hop" or "Super Propulsion" instead of Super Sprint, but then there are the episodes where characters talk as if XANA was a female human, or even worse, call Aelita a "he". | |

Beat the Curse Out of Him: In the episode "Valentine's Day", XANA slips Aelita a Hypno Trinket. To force him to relinquish his grip on her, Odd shoots her repeatedly, until she is within an inch of her life. XANA surrenders, as he needs her alive as much as the children do. | |

Justifies the phantom pains felt by Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd upon taking damage, since they're non-natives to Lyoko. In one episode, a virus uploaded into the computer by XANA makes it TOO real, with one shot hitting causing immense and dramatic pain. | |

Phlebotinum Breakdown | |
Code Lyoko / int_93ce6293 | comment |
Phlebotinum Breakdown: Statistically rare considering how often the scanners are used; nonetheless, sometimes the problems faced by the heroes aren't due to XANA's sabotages but to some bug of the Supercomputer or wrong manipulation. Notably: A botched virtualization that stuck Jérémie in the limbo between Earth and Lyoko in "Frontier". Switching Odd and Yumi's minds in "A Fine Mess". Toying with a teleportation power that results in three Odds in "Triple Trouble". Melding Kiwi with Odd in "Dog Day Afternoon". A random bug causing spontaneous devirtualizations in "Hard Luck". Really, just about any time Jérémie tries out a new program he's hacked together, it will screw up somehow. | |

Took a Level in Badass: William initially appeared to be a secondary character to build tension for Yumi and Ulrich's relationship, merely getting in the way and even stalking Yumi. Then he enters Lyoko, where he gets a giant sword, although he gets an evil makeover as well after being possessed by XANA. He even has Awesome music accompanying his fights throughout Season 4. Also in season 4, after being corrupted by the Scyphozoa, Aelita takes a katana right out of Ulrich's hand mid-attack, and proceeds to wipe the floor with him. | |

Aelita could tell Jérémie apart from his double in "XANA's Kiss". It happens a second time in the same episode: Odd has to decide between the Polymorphic Clone and Yumi, and figures it out because the real Yumi called him "pea-brain".

In one episode, Sissi tricks Ulrich by writing a note pretending to be Yumi, and that's considered terrible. In a different episode, Ulrich and the gang trick Herb by writing a note pretending to be Sissi, and that's considered perfectly OK! | |

Nerves of Steel: The entire main cast has them, with a little Heroic Willpower built in. These kids are 13-14 years old (except Yumi, who's slightly older) and are constantly targeted by an insane computer trying to murder them. (See the Nightmare Fuel page for the most extreme examples of why this Trope applies.) | |

Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway | |
Code Lyoko / int_a74d419a | comment |
Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway: A lot of Jérémie's gadgets and inventions are created on the fly and immediately put into play on the field. Sometimes this works out, and other times, it doesn't: In "Swarming Attack", he uses a specialized robot to distract and repel the hornet swarm XANA has possessed. The batteries give out at the worst possible moment, leading to Ulrich nearly getting stung to death. In "Marabounta", he creates the eponymous program as a means of fighting XANA's monsters and achieving victory much faster. It works well at first... until it detects Aelita's link to XANA, mistaking her for a threat and trying to kill her before becoming autonomous and spreading out of control throughout Lyoko; only through an Enemy Mine between the Lyoko Warriors and XANA himself is the creature stopped. In "Nobody in Particular", he creates a program to virtualize the Lyoko Warriors directly into Sector Five rather than having to access it through one of the other four Sectors. The first test separates Ulrich's mind from his body, allowing XANA to possess him and attack Lyoko's core. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: XANA's monsters rarely hit the heroes... even sometimes at close range or when they are stationary targets. Odd and Yumi also appear to be graduates in the early seasons, though that may just be Frelions acting as Goddamned Bats. Although it depends on Rule of Drama. When the Tarantula is first introduced, it is very accurate and brings down the whole team. Then in "Revelation", it can't land a single hit on Ulrich while he is busy deflecting a XANAfied Odd's arrows. | |

Near-Villain Victory: This is seriously the case in "Hot Shower". XANA's plan is so perfect, Jérémie actually gives up. Really! The heroes only triumph because Aelita hedges all her bets on a hunch that XANA will abort his plan if it will result in her death (meaning he'll lose access to Franz Hopper); fortunately, her hunch pays off. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
Code Lyoko / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: XANA occasionally ends up helping the group by accident. For instance, in "Is Anybody Out There?", Odd gets devirtualized after he finds the activated tower. This proves to be extremely fortunate, because if it hasn't happened, no-one would have been around to type in the code "Scipio", and XANA would have stolen Aelita's memories! A Krabe actually saves Odd's live in an early episode. He is about to fall into the digital sea (which entails permanent death); fortunately, the Krabe devirtualizes him before that can happen. In "A Great Day", Sissi gets proof that Aelita isn't really Odd's cousin, and is going to expose them, with consequences that would certainly be terrible for the heroes and good for XANA. But then XANA possesses her, and in the process of trying to kill Ulrich, she accidentally destroys the evidence. | |

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse | |
Code Lyoko / int_ad17a1ac | comment |
Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: In "Fight to the Finish", the Lyoko-warriors (and more accurately, Yumi, Odd and Ulrich) treats William coldly and kicked him out of the team because he underestimated XANA, and ended up xanafied for a long time as a result, fighting the ones he was supposed to help out. Odd goes as far as to call him an enemy. The implications that they were traumatized and grew used to fight William doesn't help. However, Aelita calls them out on their thinking, pointing out that she was xanafied as well, but they never treated her like they treated William. Sadly, she's mostly ignored, and the results are catastrophic. | |

Also, in "XANA's Kiss". Odd is having his ass handed to him by a polymorphic clone that keeps changing shape, currently assuming Jim's appearance. Odd tells it, "Hey, XANA, if you're going to keep changing appearances like that, do me a favor and turn into a wimp next time." XANA's response? He has it turn into a duplicate of Odd. Of course, being the Deadpan Snarker he is, Odd quickly comes up with a witty comeback to that: "Oh, no. Not him. I know his kind. Small, but tough as nails." (Unfortunately, he's right. It starts to pummel him even worse.) | |

What You Are in the Dark: Yumi and Ulrich, the Queen and King of UST, each wind up with unrestricted access to the other's diary at one point. Neither one ever considers reading it in order to gain insight into building a desired relationship. Ulrich only opens Yumi's long enough to find out what it is when it got dropped next to him (and even when he sees a photo of himself taped inside, he doesn't in any way use that knowledge against her or so much as theorize as to the implications). Even when Odd suggests it as being a golden opportunity to see what Yumi truly thinks of him, Ulrich instantly shuts it down as morally wrong. Yumi doesn't so much as open Ulrich's since she already knew who it belongs to and simply gave it back to him. | |

Aerith and Bob: While names like Jérémie, Elisabeth and William are all rather common, other characters have names that look incredibly out of place: Justified in Yumi Ishiyama's case, as her name appropriately references her Japanese heritage. Odd is a Norwegian name, but Della Robia implies he is of Italian descent. Franz and Ulrich's names are of German origin. Aelita's is the most egregious, as her name is a direct reference to a fictional Soviet character. | |

Code Lyoko / int_bbca7a41 | comment |
The main point of the episode "Image Problem" revolves around Yumi behaving incredibly strangely. She becomes aggressive with teachers, only talks about being sent to Lyoko, doesn't seem to respond to normal conversation, and outright flirts with Jérémie in an attempt to convince him. The group is definitely suspicious, but most of them aren't positive of what's wrong, with Jérémie believing it is a PTSD response to their last mission. Eventually they find out it isn't Yumi, but a Spectre, and Yumi is still on Lyoko and trapped in a Guardian. This eventually leads to a showdown between the two. | |

Code Lyoko / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Never question Milly when having an interview. Don't insult Odd with food. Yumi has two, both related to her roots: do not mistake her nationality, and do not trash-talk Japan (Jim got a Death Glare from her when he called manga "Japanese mahn-goes"). Don't tell Aelita to forget her past (Jérémie got an earful by advising her to "think like [he does].") Do not mess with Jérémie's programs on his computer when he isn't around. (Odd accidentally pressed this by doing nothing with it and still got yelled at.) Insulting Ulrich's friends appears to be his, as he takes his father's insults passively until his friends are accused of being a bad influence. Do not refer to Lyoko as a video game. Every time a character learns about Lyoko and refers to it as a video game, expect one of the warriors to snap at them. | |

Jérémie has theorized that a person's Lyoko form is reflective of his personality, subconscious desires, and dreams. For example, Yumi's pride in her heritage gave her the appearance of a Geisha, while Ulrich's lionhearted nature gave him the form of a Samurai. | |

True Companions | |
Code Lyoko / int_c313d43a | comment |
More subtly, the group as a whole becomes a lot closer throughout the four seasons. In earlier episodes (especially before Aelita was materialized), the group are often very disjointed to the point where it's questionable if they even like each other. By season four, they've managed to evolve into True Companions (partly out of necessity), and while there are still frequent Teeth-Clenched Teamwork scenarios (Rule of Drama at play), they always forgive each other in the end. | |

Xanatos Gambit | |
Code Lyoko / int_c32ff031 | comment |
The first example is in "Missing Link", where the Scyphozoa attacks Yumi and steals her DNA code, making her unable to rematerialize. Aelita volunteers to give Yumi her DNA code, unwilling to let Yumi become the same prisoner of Lyoko that she was... But this was exactly what XANA wanted her to do, because if she had done so, Aelita's memories would have become exposed and easier to take. Fortunately, the team stops her in time, and gains Yumi's code back another way. This may have elements of a Xanatos Gambit too. Taking Yumi's DNA gave her the same vulnerability as Aelita (meaning she would vanish forever if her life points ran out) so XANA likely targeted her specifically as part of a back-up plan to eliminate Yumi if the first plan didn't work. After all, he had given a lot of attention to her before. (See Designated Victim below.) | |

The Slow Lasers of the monsters can sometimes be reflected by Ulrich's swords, Yumi's fans or Odd's shield (and even by the landscape in the Ice Sector). Though not the most common tactic, it is occasionally used by the heroes (most often Ulrich) to destroy monsters, especially when they're out of immediate striking range. | |

Self-Destruct Mechanism: This is Code DOWN's function, a last-resort option.

Shout-Out | |
Code Lyoko / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: MoonScoop has confirmed that Kadic Academy was named after Philip K. Dick. A Totoro plush toy can be seen in Yumi's bedroom. The icons on Jérémie's computer are Aurebesh, the writing system from Star Wars. In the episode "End of Take", a film is being shot with an alien that is a blatant rip-off of the Xenomorph. Ulrich lampshades the similarities and nearly name-drops the franchise's name before being interrupted. In the episode "Attack of the Zombies", Bruce Willis himself gets name-dropped. In an earlier episode "Holiday in the Fog," Sissi describes Jérémie as "The closest thing to Bruce Willis." At the end of episode "Vertigo", Odd comments that he would love to turn invisible, like Susan of the Fantastic Four. Note that MoonScoop also produced Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes, although this comment predates it. In episode "The Secret", the demolition worker controlled by XANA distinctly looks like Mario. William even calls him a "super-plumber". Taking note of Jérémie's attempts to follow in Hopper's footsteps, XANA accuses Jérémie of being "the sorcerer's apprentice", referencing the classic tale in which a novice sorcerer's lack of skills nearly destroys his master's work. In one episode, Odd comments on being great with women; immediately, a girl walks up to Odd and smacks him; he has just finished commenting on "not knowing what this is about" when another girl, seeing the first, walks up and smacks him for being seen with the other girl. Odd then admits he might have deserved that one. In "The Pretender", when the main characters notice the XANA-possessed crows staring ominously at them, Odd remarks that the scene is eerily similar to "a dumb flick where birds attack the heroes" and adds that it wasn't even scary. Ulrich's katanas glow blue when he fights with them. In the season 4 episode where Aelita is controlled by XANA and she steals one of Ulrich's swords, the katana glows red in her hand. This gives the ensuing duel a very strong "Jedi vs. Sith" look. | |

And no, drinking water wouldn't make the analgesia go away either. | |

Taken for Granite: XANA tries a something like this in "Triple Trouble", unleashing a fog on the whole city that can turn people into stone. (Which is sort of strange, seeing as it more resembled his MO from the first season, rather than anything related to his goal in the third.) | |

Code Lyoko / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Both Ulrich and Jérémie, in season 2, went behind the group's back and abused the "Return to the past" function of the computer for the sake of the girl they loved (Ulrich used time travel to cheat at the lottery in the hope that it would keep Yumi in France, and three episodes later, Jérémie abused the time loop multiple times in an attempt to enhance his own intelligence to fix the virus that ties Aelita's life to XANA). In response to Ulrich's time travel, Jérémie (along with the rest of the group save for Aelita) angrily kicks Ulrich off the team (though they later change their mind when Ulrich saves them). Then Jérémie goes on to do pretty much the exact same thing (for more important reasons, but with far more uses of time travel) and not only thinks nothing of it, but never gets called out on it. | |

Pajama-Clad Hero: Some of XANA's attack happens at night, and the heroes don't always have the time to get dressed before dealing with the emergency. Notably in the episode "Is Anybody Out There?", where they have to trek to the factory in their nighties. It doesn't matter so much once they reach the scanners, though, since their Lyoko avatars are always fully equipped. | |

Achilles' Heel | |
Code Lyoko / int_d7639dba | comment |
Achilles' Heel: Megatanks are potentially the most powerful of all of XANA's monsters. However, because they're so big and bulky, they have trouble controlling their momentum, and this sometimes leads to them plunging straight into the Digital Sea. In fact, if you get enough running momentum going, you can literally push them to their doom. Consequently, they're the one kind of monster most frequently taking a dive in the show. Yet they are also seen repeatedly stopping instantly to aim at one of the heroes. | |

Forgotten Childhood Friend: XANA and Aelita. When Franz Hopper created XANA, he wanted him to develop emotions, so he encouraged Aelita to visit and play with him in the First City. They ended up becoming best friends. In a twist, they both got amnesia and forgot about it; remembering his time with her and rekindling their relationship is actually one of the catalysts for XANA's Heel–Face Turn. | |

Reset Button: Nearly every episode, the effects of XANA's attack are undone via Mental Time Travel. The main kids aren't affected by it, but students and faculty who discover them (and become allies or enemies) go back to being ignorant. It's used more sparingly in the second season, after they discover that using it empowers XANA. Even after the link to XANA is severed at the end of Season 2, the Return to the Past is still employed conservatively, if mostly to prevent mucking with the narrative. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
Code Lyoko / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: This happens a couple times, and repeatedly to Aelita during Season 3, as XANA can have her enter a code to outright delete a sector. Typically, once someone is possessed by a Spectre, they become completely unresponsive to questions and conversations. They will take the quickest route to the main group or the objective of the time, do whatever they have to to assure that no threats can interfere, and are not above attacking innocents in the way. They also become superhuman and incredibly aggressive. The main point of the episode "Image Problem" revolves around Yumi behaving incredibly strangely. She becomes aggressive with teachers, only talks about being sent to Lyoko, doesn't seem to respond to normal conversation, and outright flirts with Jérémie in an attempt to convince him. The group is definitely suspicious, but most of them aren't positive of what's wrong, with Jérémie believing it is a PTSD response to their last mission. Eventually they find out it isn't Yumi, but a Spectre, and Yumi is still on Lyoko and trapped in a Guardian. This eventually leads to a showdown between the two. During the episode "Temptation", Jérémie is seen routinely acting like a jerk to the rest of the crew, refusing to answer questions and generally being defensive and rude. Unlike other instances where Jérémie usually became so out of response to something someone said or stress, here he just acts extremely dismissive and rude to everyone with no obvious provocation, taking even the most innocent question as a direct personal attack. Eventually the group finds out he's boosting his intelligence with a machine from Franz Hopper's notes, and it's having a negative effect on his behavior, at one point knocking him unconscious. By the end of the episode, he returns back to normal, trashing the device as he realizes he never actually learned a single thing that could help him. During the episode "Wreck Room", the group realizes that the William Clone is acting a bit aggressive and competitive, something he was never programmed to do. They have the right suspicions, as he becomes violent and attacks the other students. During the episode "Ultimatum", Jean-Pierre simply wanders up and kidnaps Odd and Yumi. Obviously, the school is absolutely horrified at his actions, however it doesn't take long for Jérémie and the group to realize that XANA is clearly behind this, and with a little help from the EMP, the principal is stopped, the threat is defeated on Lyoko, and the group launches a return trip to fix this. During "Contact", it takes the group a short bit to realize that Sissi's condition isn't normal, and she is under the influence of some kind of effect from Lyoko. Once they do figure it out, it turns out Franz Hopper possessed her so he could leave them a message. | |

Mercy Killing: The Lyoko Warriors use a non-lethal variant of this many times when one or more of them needs to devirtualize themselves in a hurry and Jérémie can't do it for some reason. Basically, it involves a teammate turning his weapon on the other in order to reduce his or her life points to zero (or two doing it to each other simultaneously, in extreme cases). More than once, Odd and Aelita have saved someone from falling into the Digital Sea this way. | |

Five-Man Band Concert: Several members of the cast form a band in an early Season 1 episode — Odd on the guitar, Ulrich on the keyboard, Jim on the slide trombone, Nicolas on the drums, and Yumi the singing. Only Odd and Nicolas had any real skill at their instruments, and after that episode, the band was never mentioned again. | |

Code Lyoko / int_ef23acb9 | comment |
Xenomorph Xerox: The episode "End of Take" has as Monster of the Week an animatronic suit possessed by XANA that is a virtual rip-off of the Xenomorph with Yautja-like head "dreadlock" tentacles (which it uses as actual Combat Tentacles). This look-alikeness is actually lampshaded (although Ulrich can't recall the original film's name) before being told by the director of the In-Universe film (that is using the factory as a film set) to shut up because it is a totally original alien design, honest! | |

Code Lyoko / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Addressed in "The Chips Are Down", when Ulrich uses the Reset Button to rig a lottery ticket and win several million euros. It's completely possible to do this, but not a good idea since each Return to the Past makes XANA stronger. At the end of the episode, Ulrich donates the proceeds to an African development project, preserving the series status quo. Played completely straight when Ulrich, being a Virtual Ghost at the time because of Jérémie's latest bit of mad science, possesses Jim to use him as a pawn to keep himself from being knocked down to a remedial class. | |

Powers as Programs: The Lyoko Warriors are only able to be so in Lyoko or the First City. The virtual worlds are literally programmed to reflect one's true self, so if one's self happens to be a Lady of War or noble swordsman, well...cut loose. However, XANA helps them materialize as their avatars in the real world for the final battle—humorously enough, with an actual equipable item. | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot | |
Code Lyoko / int_f314f8c4 | comment |
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: The amount of time until XANA's current plot completes is always just long enough that the Lyoko-Warriors will beat it with a couple of seconds to spare, if that. Same with the Sector 5 countdown or the second layer of the Core shield. They rarely run out of time, either; if XANA wins, it's nearly always by defeating the heroes, not just running out the clock. Most Egregiously, whenever a countdown clock is seen on the supercomputer, it'll usually be only a few milliseconds away from reaching zero, despite the fact that the Lyoko-Warriors apparently have enough time to stop it. | |

Cool Big Sis | |
Code Lyoko / int_f8600b | comment |
Yumi too, for no plot-related reason. It runs throughout the entire series, but it's most obvious in the first half of season 1 (a batch of five consecutive episodes of her being targeted was dubbed "Pick on Yumi Week") and season 3. Of course, maybe XANA does have a logical reason for wanting to "pick on Yumi": she is the Cool Big Sis figure of the team, the most mature of the group, Ulrich's crush (and nearly as good at fighting as him), the least enthusiastic about fighting XANA (she was reluctant to do it in the pilot, and was the most willing to shut down the computer in season 4 finale) and an isolated target due to her living with her parents whereas the others are all boarders at Kadic. This not only makes her a much easier target than the others, but also means something happening to her will easily crush the morale of her teammates. Given the manipulator XANA is, it makes sense. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good | |
Code Lyoko / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: XANA shows this in "Ghost Channel" when he tries to trick Odd, Urlich, and Yumi by posing as Jérémie. When Jérémie shows up and it turns into a case of Spot the Imposter, XANA insists that Jérémie wouldn't come to Lyoko because he'd be too afraid to; however, this is actually what gives him away, because the rest of the team is certain that Jérémie would do so, despite being afraid, if their lives were in danger. Note that XANA does eventually prove capable of Comprehending Good in later episodes, and even trying to take advantage of it. However, it's mostly averted in Season 4, where he often succeeds in luring both Aelita and Franz Hopper. | |

There is also the Hermitage, a posh house in the woods that is left abandoned for 10 years. However, there are some hints of squatting (vandalism, tags on the walls...) and since the first time Team Lyoko visited it XANA was playing poltergeist, this might have chased any squatter earlier and gave it a Haunted House reputation. | |

Running Gag: "Are you OK? Say something!" "Something." This gag was started by Odd early in season 2, but then everyone started copying it. Someone from Kadic Academy (Jim, Sissi, Milly/Tamiya, etc.) discovering everything, only for Jérémie to nonchalantly wipe their memories with a Return to the Past. The similarities between any given one of XANA's plans, and the episode plots of the fictional TV program Hospital of Horrors. | |

Code Lyoko / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: In "Zero Gravity Zone", Jérémie proposes that XANA's anti-gravity power-of-the-week works by offsetting "the magnetic attraction of the Earth". In "The Trap", Odd grabs a metal bar to defend Jérémie and himself against a possessed robotic arm in the factory. The arm then grabs the bar and twists it all to heck, while Odd is still holding it. Any time someone throws a skateboard ahead of them so that it starts rolling, while in the same motion jumping onto it (legs offscreen). If Aelita disables a tower the instant before something hits something else in the real world, both somethings will come to an instant stop and the collision will be avoided by about half a centimeter. | |

Depending on the Writer: The level of sympathy Sissi is treated with changes from episode to episode. She was mostly sympathetic throughout Seasons 2 and 4, while mostly unsympathetic in Seasons 1 and 3 (though she still had noteworthy moments in Season 1). Whether or not the gang find Odd's jokes funny. When the scanners are offline, losing all your life points either: a) does nothing, and you remain virtual OR b) leads to your death. | |

Code Lyoko / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In "Image Problem", Jérémie makes a passing, non-serious remark about the scanners becoming a health problem (in reference to Yumi/XANA being unable to tell the rest of the group what happened before getting devirtualized unconscious). In "Franz Hopper", XANA masquerading as Franz "confirms" that the scanners are having a negative effect... on Yumi. In "A Fine Mess" (which, as mentioned below, is Code Lyoko's "Freaky Friday" Flip), Jérémie points out that if Odd and Yumi go back into Lyoko and are devirtualized, the program might mess up again and they'd end up with no bodies at all. In season 3, "Nobody in Particular" sees exactly this happen to Ulrich (complete with XANA taking over his Lyoko-bound body...). In "Frontier," Yumi spies a plane up in the sky, worried about XANA attacking while Jérémie is on Lyoko apologizing to Aelita. Cue "Guided Missile" in where XANA possesses control of a fighter jet with the boy in it. | |

Given the amount of times Jim would "rather not talk about it", the man seems to be made entirely of this trope. It is slightly subverted in the episode "I'd Rather Not Talk About It" (of course), in which Jim does talk about it, although it's only with Jérémie and we don't get to hear it. Nevertheless, it causes Jérémie to gain a healthy respect for Jim. Even better, at a skate demo, when Jim shows he is knowledgeable about skateboarding, it is a time when he does want to talk about it; rather, he is a little busy and doesn't have time to talk about it right then. | |
