Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion premiered in 2006 as a Sunrise anime about exiled prince Lelouch Lamperouge, who gains the power of Geass and leads a rebellion. Friends and classmates call him Lulu, a softer nickname that contrasts with his dramatic public persona. Clips of his voice circulated through anime forums, AMVs and later short video edits, where fans reused his confident speeches for scheming characters and ironic reveals. Its continued use reflects how recognisable his delivery remains within anime meme culture today.
