Code Geass Random Ideas Thread

So, I was bored and the weirdest crack-fic idea popped into my head:
A Code Geass AU in which the the CG characters, and for the lulz powers like Geass, are set in a Phoenix Wright-style world.
Imagine it! Zero, the Defense Attorney of Justice, appearing to save his friend Kururugi Suzaku from an unjust trial and winding up in a series of trials that all eventually lead to the final confrontation with his corrupt Judge of a father to bring out the truth of his mother's death and sister's crippling.

Simple thought. Let's say the first bomb Nina made happened to be tested on a certain South Pacific island, creating a certain King of the Monsters because the radiation levels were higher than expected. Fast forward past the end of the series.
You know what's coming now: Godzilla must attack the Tokyo Settlement, for he is Godzilla and bound by law to attack Japan. This leads to the long-running feud between Kallen (in her Guren) and Godzilla. Damned thing keeps stomping on Lelouch's grave every time it rolls through town.
Yes, it's silly. What do you expect after watching a Godzilla movie?

Dude that means the world is fucked. Unless they use FLEIJA, there's no way to beat Godzilla (Gojira, whatever you prefer). And I remember hearing that the Damocles carried the entire arsenal of FLEIJA bombs. And making new ones would take too long considering Godzilla would have destroyed Japan by then.
And even if the bomb works, wouldn't Godzilla go nuclear and wipe out half the planet?
Not to mention the fact that Godzilla is big enough to just step on the Guren, and it's radiation wave would be worthless against a creature who can blow atomic fire.
So as a crack fic maybe, but even then I have my doubts.

I've noticed that the idea of keeping Lelouch from giving Euphie the command to kill the Japanese is a pretty popular idea. Based on that, what if another major use of Geass was altered. That being Charles erasing Lelouch's memory after Suzaku caught Lelouch at Kaminejima. What if, rather than forgetting ever being a prince and being Zero, instead he just lost his memories of being Zero and became a prince again?
I would imagine that Lelouch could well be sent back to act as Governor of Area 11 and bait to lure C.C. out. Not to mention that, if there were corruption and any terrorism left, Lelouch would most likely grind it out of existence. Not to mention, imagine the reactions from Kallen, Shirley, Sayoko, and anyone else who knew Lelouch Lamperouge upon seeing Lelouch Vi Brittania.
I freely admit that part of this idea is based on a desire to see characters like Carline, Guinever, and the Knight of Twelve used more often. I can see any of them, or Anya, being sent with Lelouch to keep an eye on him... I also wouldn't object to Lelouch replacing Odysseus in Schneizel and the Eunuchs' political marriage.

That last paragraph solidifies it into WIN?. Knight of Twelve...... Heh, or a 'misappropriation' of personnel, leading to Jeremiah being able to serve Marianna's (?) line once more. Ooh, I wonder how Cornelia would take it since, she is alive and knows who Zero really is. I definitely see Schneizel being suspicious of the Emperor earlier, considering all the weird circumstances.
Hmm, at least Lelouch will be with Nunnally. Hah hah, and Suzaku will probably get his wish as well. Or..... The trio unites! Lelouch for strategic planning, Nunnally for on-the-spot planning, and Suzaku for execution.
Oh yeah, that means the Black Knights that are to be executed are definitely going to be executed.

Er, Suzaku is the one with a talent for real time tactics (which is shown in predicting his opponents moves while fighting them). That was the whole point behind the "Together, Suzaku and I are unbeatable!" moment in episode 22. That and Lelouch says "Real time tactics are no match for strategy!" several times in relation to him vs. Suzaku.
I don't recall Nunnally ever being singled out as having talent in anything related to war, or anything at all really. Just because Lelouch is ridiculously intelligent doesn't mean Nunnally is.

And Schniezal doesn't even know the rules of chess, despite supposedly being better than Lelouch at it.
According to the actual show, Suzaku is good at on the spot tactical planning. The show may not know shit about anything really, but saying Nunnally is somehow good at tactical decisions is more ridiculous than saying that about someone who is at least supposed to be good at it, even if he just seems to charge in anyway.

Honestly, on-the-spot plans are what Lelouch excels at. Give him a three-second planning time, and he'll slaughter all that lies before him. He's got good long-range plans too, but his luck is so shitty that the situation's radically changed before they can ever be implemented, usually.
Seriously, all his masterstrokes were works of real-time tactics. Even the time he commented on strategy vs tactics - his plan was thrown miles off, if his expressions meant anything, half of that he made up on the spot.

huh? I don't quite agree with that.
Many of the issues that come to bite him are things that broke through because he thought he had a perfect strategy.
Like he almost had Cornelia because of his strategy, but Suzuka butted in and managed to disrupt Lelouch for it.
He executed his strategy against Mao, but because Mao ended up living it shows Lelouch had botch up a slight detail in his strategy. And it was only due to strategy in his third encounter with Mao that he was able to beat him. And even that almost failed because he wasn't expecting Mao to basically destroy Suzuka mentally. If it wasn't for C.C. they would have failed.
And yes that was strategy. It indeed was a rushed strategy but a strategy nonetheless. Yes he was already involved in the situation with Mao, but because he was given a short time to plan, that is why it is a strategy.
If Mao had attacked against Lelouch the second he had found Nunally strung up with a bomb he would have been doing tactics.
But because he was given time to plan out things, that makes it strategy.
Now if he had thought of something to stop Mao with the second he made a bolt towards the door, that would have been tactics.
It has been shown again and again that Lelouch really sucks at tactics. Very few times does he actually show any at all, and the times he does usually end up backfiring for him.

I was actually referring to Dr. Tempo's thread when I made the trio comment.
And to reiterate an old point, isn't a defining characteristic of Lelouch that he is physically pathetic? He would be more suited for a mental upgrade like telekinesis or thought-speed increase. I think Spider-Man fits Suzaku much better, especially in terms of philosophy.
If Nunnally found out, I think she would help him somehow. Even with as little as just helping him keep his side-job a bit more secret.

I think Nunnally would basically be a normal person with a Geass. Unfortunately, there would probably be 'tension' between her and Suzaku. I bet there also would be issues with Kallen. Kaguya probably would not be as partial to her as compared to Lelouch. I cannot estimate her abilities, but I would not think she would be as much of a strategist. Given her ability to overcome Charles' Geass, I suppose it would be someone along the lines of supreme will. Her Geass probably would resemble the one she has in the "Nightmare of Nunnally" manga in some fashion as well.
In the end, the series most likely would be much like a typical shonen (?) series unless she has some unique abilities ala Lelouch or Schneizel. Heck, maybe she is an excellent actor like Clovis.
