Anime Face-Off Round 3: Pretty Pink Princesses

face-off3.jpg

Maybe I’m going crazy… but while we’re on the subject of pink-haired girlies, allow me to present you with round 3 of this ridiculous theme I call Anime Face-Off.

Lacus Clyne vs. Euphemia Li Britannia

As if Lacus had enough problems dealing with Meer Campbell… now Euphemia shows up. So what’s the contest this time? Beauty contest? Cat fight? Singing competition? (although… I remember Euphie ever singing…) I’ll let you decide this time (basically it’s just a popularity contest anyways).


Opinions

Both ladies are gifted with charm, beauty, popularity, and young emo mecha pilot boyfriends. They both seem to be icons among their respective nations and have millions of adoring fans. However, while it seems Lacus is more adored for being a teen pop idol that brings morale to the soldiers, Euphie’s more like a royal celebrity that gets a lot of attention from the media.

One of the things I think Lacus has going for her is the fact that she seems to have a lot of connections, especially to Gundams. It’s rather amazing how she can just pull a mecha out of her ass when the situation calls for it. Lacus also started up an entire rebellion and stopped a war between two nations… you can’t really say that’s a common thing to see on a resume (well it’s more like the Gundam emo squad did most of the work).

Euphemia, on the other hand, went on a crazy killing rampage (while Geassed). While it was indeed a tragic event, I think it actually scored her some cool points from the fans. That being said, it just goes to show you that some people enjoy watching nice girls turn evil.

    Euphie has Cornelia, who sodomizes Lacus’ entire emo pilot corps. before afternoon tea as long as she access to the right gear. Mu might be a problem since his cool factor is pretty high, but it’s considerably lower in Destiny.

    @Wahaha

    Cornelia, given a cave, scraps, and a broken down Knightmare, is capable of building a machine that can take down both the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice if she pilots it with the intention of clearing Euphie’s name.

    Lacus.

    Euphemia was a princess so she could have power if she really wanted it and infact she did have even if it was less than that of Cornelia and Schneizel or Lelouch, but all along she used barely any of it if you haven’t noticed that. She wanted a peaceful world but sat there and let her sister tell her to stay back and just be a good girl who is subviceroy in name. Sure she got geassed so she couldn’t carry out her plan but even if she wasn’t geassed, her thing wouldn’t have worked. Japan wouldnt be a nation, it’d still be area 11 and the special administrative zone would just be a little area of land that hinders lelouch by loosing him support. She has a tragic character, but oh well and too bad; in real life, being good or idealistic doesn’t necessarily mean a happy ending-it just means those who have plans to carry out can use you which is why I say, why not grow a brain?

    Now about Lacus, she and Euphemia are close in age, both around 16 but look what Lacus pulls off and what Euphemia pulls off. Like Euphemia, Lacus has power, only difference is as the daughter of the former chairman and the number one pop idol in the PLANTs and UNLIKE Euphemia, she uses it and she uses it well. She stopped two wars, has the Clyne Faction and she can pilot a mobile suit as shown in Destiny.

    As for her Lacus being unreal, that’s not that true. She’s a coordinator so go figure a lot of her qualities are close to perfect. If she’s unreal then so is Yzak, Athrun, Dearka and every other coordinator in the story. Heck, even the extended pilots, particularly Stellar Loussier would be unreal.

    Another thing, take note in Euphemia and Lacus’s names. Euphemia, Euphemism. She softens thing but her death in the story just simply symbolized that those who are soft cannot go past those who are willing ot be brutal. Lacus means lake but if you translate the Katakana differently, it comes out to be Lux, meaning light. Lacus was in some ways the light that conquered the chaos in GS and GSD.

    euphie all the way!!! she’s smart, beautiful,and who said being a dreamer is bad? she has suzaku,who would wreck all the gundums(with kallen and lelouche’s help,of course) and cornelia! its so tragic and sad that she died and if code geass wasnt so good id go and kill everyone in sunrise and clamp. euphie would win all the way and has a really big fanbase for a dead*sob,sob* character!

    yes your highness!!

    Euphie all the way!

    Lacus is too perfect. Euphie had her flaws. The only reason Lacus is so perfect physically is because she’s a coordinator, and has many people helping her out because she was the daughter of the FORMER Plant supreme chairman. Both of them live in a time of war, but Euphie’s world was much more harsh and cruel. If Lelouch didn’t Geass her, than Euphie would have been able to help the Japanese practically on her own. Lacus, had literally hundreds of people to help her, and I’m sure Miriallia could have even piloted the Infinite Justice to the ship, if Kira helped her like he helped Lacus.

    Lacus is too unreal, along with Yzak, Dearka, and Stellar.

    Plus, Euphie is cuter!

    Yes, Your HIGHNESS!

  8. Lacus all the way!

    Lacus Clyne (Gundam Seed)
    -daughter of former PLANTs Supreme Council Chairman
    -very influential (as someone mentioned above, even more influential than chairman Durandal himself)
    -has her own private army (Clyne Faction)
    -has Kira Yamato to protect her
    -pop idol & has great singing voice
    -has brains
    -Captain of the Eternal
    -fights when she has to
    -stole the Freedom Gundam and the Eternal
    -Clyne Faction created Infinite Justice and Strike Freedom O.o
    -unique and uncommon sense of fashion (weird at times^^)
    -has a Haro (lots of them though her favorite is “Pink-chan”)
    -someone impersonated her cuz she’s THAT INFLUENTIAL
    -can pilot a mobile suit (The Freedom as shown in GSD)
    -puts well into action her plans as she says: “First you decide and then you carry on that decision. It’s the only way you can accomplish something.
    -works as a mediator between enemy forces
    -Lacus’ words are so true and encouraging
    -STOPPED TWO WARS

    Euphemia Li Brittania (Code Geass)
    -rather old-fashioned (Lacus has unique fashion)
    -A princess and often spoiled by her sister (but hey, Lacus is more influential than her judging Lacus is just the daughter of a former chairman)
    -has Suzaku as her Knight
    -well-known all because she’s a princess (never heard her sing)
    -has great plans which sad to say was never completed
    -depends on “big sister”
    -STOPPED NO WAR!

    Basically, the two of them may have a few similarities but they’re still TWO DIFFERENT CHARACTERS. But based on my opinion, Lacus is WAY better cuz she put into action well her plans and it all turned out Successful.

    Euphie is waaaaayyyy prettier than Lacus is. I’ve always thought that. Lacus looks rather retarded with that weird thing in her hair and the way her hair’s parted. Plus, her hair isn’t as pretty, or as long. ;D Euphie didn’t get a chance to put hers into action because she died. It wasn’t her fault. Euphie was kept hidden quite a bit at first. Also, Euphie was Princess, not the daughter of some infamous war chairman, so naturally she’s going to have different qualities from Lacus.

    Princess Euphemia all the way.
    Some of you aren’t giving her enough credit.
    She was willing to give up her throne for the
    Administrative of japan to get through and
    She was the first person who has ever attempted
    To resist Lelouch’s geass because of her gentle
    Nature and her love towards people.

    And besides, although she is well protected by
    Her siblings-she is still capable of doing things
    On her own.

    With or without them “she manages to win it all”
    (quoted by Lelouch)

    I’d go with Euphy. Not only is she bustier
    and goddamn adorable-but she stuck firmly to her beliefs.

    i think both of dis ladies are beautiful,talented,kind and hav better plans.. but they hav their own situations.. if i will choose between them who is succesful, then it will be lacus, beacuse she hav the 2 best pilots in her show.. while euphie did not fulfill her plans eventhough he hav the knightof7,, the reason is the geass.. so imagine dis, wat if lelouch cast geass on lacus?! imagine that? then maybe they will be both failures.. so, comparing who is the best is very hard to say.. i lyk lacus’ plans but, and euhpie almost hav the same.. so both of this ladies are great, if i will rank them who is no.1,then,they are just equal No. 1… just my opinion… by the way there is CGr3…

    Euphie

    Lacus is too perfect. Ok, she is Coordinator, but MAN SHE IS 100% NEUTRAL GOOD and NEVER makes mistakes. Ever Relena isn’t such annoying. Heck, she is official mary sue of director’s wife. BORING!
    Euphie is normal person that can exist, she is stupid, but she can do her own decisions at the end. She failed but her world is much more cruel and Lacus wouldn’t survive a week with her nonsense. And Euphie in Nightmare of Nunnaly manga is badass. Show ▼

    And Suzaku > Kira. After Freedom Kira had no character development at all. Suzaku is more complex person. And Suzaku at last has skill to support him ass knight, Kira only has beam-spam.

    “euphie all the way!!! she’s smart, beautiful,and who said being a dreamer is bad?…”

    tell me where daydreaming will get you. people who plan and don’t do anything or do things without thinking of consequence won’t get anywhere. if euphie’s special administrative zone pulled through, it’ll just hinder world peace…because lelouch will loose support and when euphemia dies, somebody will just close the zone out of Britannia’s “national policy” of discrimination. that’s just how politics work.

    “…Euphie didn’t get a chance to put hers into action because she died. It wasn’t her fault. Euphie was kept hidden quite a bit at first. Also, Euphie was Princess, not the daughter of some infamous war chairman, so naturally she’s going to have different qualities from Lacus.”

    she’s had plenty of chances, if you look at what people in the royal family do. she’s just too sheltered to know anything about the real world. her father doesn’t care about her, and her sister spoils her. and if you wanna make an appearance as a royal princess, you sure can.

    “She was willing to give up her throne for the
    Administrative of japan to get through and
    She was the first person who has ever attempted
    To resist Lelouch’s geass because of her gentle
    Nature and her love towards people.”

    I think it was obvious to every person in the royal family she’s too innocent and weak to ever take the throne…and resisting is natural as geass bends human will…when you try to bend plastic it has a certain resistence too.

    “Lacus is too perfect. Ok, she is Coordinator, but MAN SHE IS 100% NEUTRAL GOOD and NEVER makes mistakes. Ever Relena isn’t such annoying. Heck, she is official mary sue of director’s wife. BORING!”

    Am I also fake? no. a mary sue type character is just a gifted character…they exist in real life too – just amongst the extremely lucky and most of the time hated by flawed commoners for being above them on the ladder.

    I agree lacus is too perfect but euphie nevr tries hard thts exactly why she died. Lacus all the way because u dont see lacus dying cuz she worked hard and working hard is the key to perfection.

  18. Posted August 6, 2009 at 11:54 am | Permalink

    I agree lacus is way to perfect but euphie never worked hard. Thats the exact reason why she died. You don’t see Lacus dying now do you. Lacus all the way peeps.

    Lacus Cylne FTW! I love Gundam and lets face it, Kira could totally beat Suzuku. He’s the Ultimate Coordinator.Lacus is so much more of a princess than Euphie. Euphie was the third princess of the empire but Lacus was the daughter of Chairman of Plants, Siegel Cylne. Euphie couldn’t do a thing and she never gave Suzuku anything of value. Lacus gave Kira TWO Mobile Suits! If I had a girlfriend like that I would so love her forever! SO GO LACUS!!!!!
