The Time is Now

Awww, but the way it was before was such an interesting story! A mere contest for an item taken much out of hand, and while one kills the other first, they both end up dead by their own greed and revenge.

.......I wonder...

I feel as if you were deeply inspired by Death Note, my friend.
I approve.

Just as planned...

Actually? Death Note didn't cross my mind once whilst writing that up.

I'm a tad more of a Code Geass follower when it comes to Magnificent Bastard protagonists. Light struggles to kill one detective, skilled though L was, but Lelouch brings a whole empire to pay attention to his fledgling rebellion.

Then again, Lelouch is fuckin' skinny. Damn bishi's. Light was better in this way, but.... Not by too much.

This is true. Then again, Death Note is much more individual struggle than Code Geass is. Light brought the world to his knees as Kira, only L proved to be close to his equal.
Lelouch is fighting armies and his Father's empire.
A very different zone, but some of the same.
I like both as Magnificent Bastards, but I liked Light because he didn't struggle with morality like Lelouch did. It took Light a whole ten seconds to go "z0mg, i can rule da werld!"

Whereas I enjoyed the morality battles, the whimsical school setting as a direct contrast to the battles and stuff, where Lelouch has to act (almost) totally different between himself and Zero. (but which is more his real personality...?)

Plus, I'm hugely more a fan of the battle commander type of Magnificent Bastard than the slightly-psychotic and individually focused light.

I think we can both agree on one thing, though.

We already had this argument and not once was Xanatos mentioned

Besides. I stole all of your quirks and replaced them with ones I got for cheap in Taiwan. How're they working out for ya?

That's because it wasn't an open discussion that anyone could be mentioned. B'sides, it's just a given that Xanatos would win. Has more resources, charisma, and a WAY cooler pad than both Lelouch and Light combined.

Xanatos also wins for not being a borderline anorexic with too long of hair. (sans Ponytail, NO idea why Xanatos has that....)

Also Xanatos wins for getting to be a magnificent bastard on the Disney Channel.
