Many plot holes? (spoiler)

Kurdo said:
Why does this series have such plot holes? Mao gets shot multiple times,then survives with help of technology but when the Princess(euphy) gets shot only once dies, did that miraculous technology just vanished when someone far more important needed it?
When mao returns doesn't reveal his identity but plays games with him? During the game you could've just pushedthe scales but guess common sense is not available at that moment?
Also Suzaku dodges machine gun and destroys it with a kick?
On multiple occasions people with guns fight super robots and survive like it's nothing, how come?

I really still don't know how this show got 8.7 rating , mid geass . Death note>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

why are you even comparing Death Note to Code geass? lmao

Even in real life, some people can survive multiple gunshot wounds while others die just from one. I suppose real life is full of plot holes too?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying their aren't plot holes. Just pointing out, that isn't as farfetched as it sounds.

SuntProstMare said:

depends on where you shoot, you cant expect that a real person survive After an headshot, while in anime should be the same Logic, I could understand that they can survive an headshot but this mean all the characters can(in the case of Code Geass, in other anime, like fantasy One can be another Logic)if not then it's a plot hole

Yeshwanth_18 said:

Yeah ik it ain't even worth comparing.

MeVike said:

Actually there’s many cases where People survived a headshot. It’s not common, but it has happened, so I don’t see why it can’t happen in anime either. Especially considering anime isn’t supposed to be as realistic as real life and for the fact that anime will always be far fetched.

Nopedeath note sucks after epi 25.But i kept going just becaz of awesome ost,theme and ryuk.where ascode geas is just cooleven if it has many plot holes i still loved it way more than dnand lelouch is better written imo

SuntProstMare said:

the headshot was Just an example, what I mean is: if you do an anime world with a Logic you Need to have Always that Logic in mind. the example wanted to point that since One protagonist survived several shots and is still Alive then the person Who get a shot should be alive, i don't Remember where She was hit but i Remember that is wasnt fatal, maybe im wrong.

MeVike said:

Isn’t that the point though? You’re saying she died because of a wound that someone else didn’t die to. Well that’s how things work irl as well. Some people die because of some wounds and some don’t, even if the injury is the same. As I stated, a head shot should be fatal, as it is for most, yet some survived it. I don’t think that’s a plot hole irl. It just happens.

Euphy’s shot was fatal though, idk why you’d think differently. She was shot in the liver. (Ofc there are cases that you could live even after being shot there, as there’s a case for everything). Well every wound is fatal if you don’t get help quickly.


As I said. People are different. Cases are different. You got 50 cent who was shot 7 times in his hand, arm, hip, both legs, chest and left cheek, yet he still survived.

Yet you got other people who get hit once in the leg and they either bleed to death or die of shock.

I don’t think shit like that is a plot hole. It’s literally either luck, or how well you handle those wounds, and ofc how fast you get help.

Death Note and Code Geass is a common comparison because Light and Lelouch have a lot in common as anti hero archetypes

SuntProstMare said:

when i said that It wasnt fatal I even Say that maybe im wrong but whatever, can you tell me where Mao was shotted? if It was an headshot and to other vital parts or not then what you Say it's completely true but if he survive even with fatal injure then no, your point is pointeless.
irl there are many cases, yes, but in an anime there is own Logic, if that isn't in everyone then it's a plot hole, you cant Say that It is luck that Mao survived and the Queen died because probably the producer didn't even think about that.

MeVike said:

What you’re saying doesn’t even make sense my guy. If you can survive a headshot irl, then you can surely do it in the anime world too. As I stated, anime is more far fetched than the real world so it’s only logical to think that they’d survive. Idk where Mao got shot tbh, but that’s besides the point I’m trying to make. If know the anime has its own logic, explain to me in detail exactly what that logic is, when where does it state in those logical terms that you can’t survive possibly fatal shots by luck or any other circumstances. Idk if the writer thought about it or not, but as long as it makes sense to us humans, he doesn’t even need to think of it. We wouldn’t actually know even if he thought of it or not tbh, as we can’t tell if he did or not.

So it’s pretty safe to say he thought of as it actually is... luck and many other reasons people survive such wounds. As long as it makes sense to the author (a fellow human who has the same logical reasoning as us) it should makes sense to us as well.

Most of it aren't plotholes like they pointed out in the gunshots case.
For example, the common sense dictates you don't try something like pushing the scales, because A) the other person can read your mind, so he pushes it before you; B) maybe he has a remote control with him and can detonate the bomb.
You best and actually only option if you truly want to avoid the explosion is to play along while someone defuse it like it happened in the show.

Just because you don't think and you don't have common sense, the show still works in its universe.

I'm too lazy to refute your every points. Think about it and you will know these aren't really plotholes.

I don't think the writers of this show really knew what they were doing.
A woman gets shot in the stomach with no visible injury to the head and still gets amnesia for some reason.
They introduce geass canceller and then forget about it.
Millions of people somehow sneak in and wear the zero costume.
Some people can just magically nullify the effect of the geass.
The list really goes on.

deg said:
ah damn different ways people die are now considered a plot hole too lol all gun shots should be fatal huh

official_brown said:
Cause “enjoyment”

Kurdo said:

A whole army of police shooting one person should be considered fatal...

deg said:


im sure there are real life incidents showing some superior luck when it comes to that many bullets (the bullets miss vital organs) https://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/03/nyregion/03shot.html

Kurdo said:
sorry not convincing,but let's say it is how did he heal so quickly anyway? He was a criminal how did he even get out? Because of his geass ha? 0 sense.

deg said:


well if they miss vital organs they can quickly get up, but anyway i forgot much about this show already since its been more than a decade since last time i saw it

talortoo said:

You know he is trolling right? If Light hadn’t answered L first “call” it was basically a win for him... so Death Note has it own holes

Anyway nothing is perfect, sometimes it is a must to do for rogressing the story and sometimes it is a bit easier that way, doesn’t change the fact that i watch both around my first 10 anime and after watching over 500 they are still my favorite of all

why are you even comparing Death Note to Code geass? even if there were plot holes, then why is the code geass score higher than the so perfectly made and executed Death note

Kurdo said:

Makes no sense, a whole army shot that guy yet he's fine with some bandages? Fine the scales make a bit sense but the plot armor doesn't, he could could just expose him beforehand.

ktg said:

When I first started go to self defense class, the teacher's first monologue was something about surviving attacks. He mentioned two extremes. First when you could die even from one stab and about a guy who survived 60 stabs.
So yes, if you consider they had even advanced technology, it perfectly makes sense.

And btw, he didn't wanted to expose him. Why would he try to make contact with someone if he truly wants to expose him? He wanted to beat him, because he thought then C.C would choose him.
The threat with the exposure was simply motivation for Lelouch to play.

It's like you watched it with closed eyes.

CickNipolla said:
Why would Mao wanna win by just cowardly running to the police? He would also lose C2 this way.

Most of these are not plot holes, you just arent thinking with your brain lol

Kurdo said:

Oh look we've got a smartass!

CickNipolla said:


its pretty wild u named like 5 "plot holes" and within hours every single one of them was proven to... not be a plot hole

Kurdo said:

Well if you say so.

ktg said:

LOL, like a kid... :D
When Mao first encountered Lelouch, Lelouch tricked him. Lelouch didn't play by Mao's rules and Mao understood that.
So, if Mao was aware of that. Why would he tried to face him again? He could expose him when he stayed alive.

If I accept your interpretation of the situations, then that means Mao is complete idiot and his presence creates more plotholes.
While you are not an idiot and actually understand the character, then it's pretty clear why he didn't expose Lelouch.

As you can see from this screen, police was under geass' effect https://i.imgur.com/OtGPt4f.jpg
I remind you that people under the effect of geass have a screwed-up conscience. This is reflected in the subsequent shooting, police fire a lot of shots but very few seems to hit him, because of this. This is confirmed later as well (in season 2 ending), people under geass doesn't perform as good as sane persons. You can't really tell how many hit him, where did you take the number 60?
