Taniguchi recently talked about his inspirations for Code Geass and it caught me by surprise:
*Lelouch and Suzaku aren't based on Char and Amuro. They are based on Kamen Rider especially the concept of using evil to defeat evil.
*Suzaku was also inspired by Luke Skywalker clothing included. The more corrupted Suzaku becomes, the darker his clothes became especially in season 2.
Taniguchi hates fanservice? This one confuses me considering Kallen and most of Gun x Sword. Then again Planetes and Scryed was completely innocent in comparison. Scryed was also an inspiration for season 2 due to the dynamic of Lelouch and Suzaku being based on Kazuma and Ryuho.
