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.

Lacus Clyne hands down
never really ilke euphie…
E-U-P-H-I-E!
yes, your highness!!!!!! XD~
even Nina goes loco over Euphie! LOL! the master!!!
Guu wins. Or Euphie.

Ow, my brain.
Lacus FTW. I’ve always thought of Lacus as one of the most “perfect” female characters in any anime. She can be your girl next door one moment and at another she would be the commander behind an uber strong alliance that could hold its ground against pretty much the whole world.
Not to mention her knights pwns Euphie’s knights
SEED factor over Geass I say.
Lacus. She can sing. Fields of Hope = possibly the greatest insert song ever. She can actually get things done by herself. Euphie had grand dreams that would never work out. Lacus just makes them work. Lacus would also just laugh at Lulu if he tried to Geass her. I can’t see it working on her. (No seriously…. can you see it working??) It also depends on which side you are on… Lacus could actually be considered one of the more tyrannical and evil characters of the Seed world. So I think she has her cool points too. Euphie is a good character, but nah… she’s no Lacus.
side note on my part but i didn’t like how euphie was so nosy and like completely useless… the one time she did something good she ended up killing like a thousand japanese people although that was the geass fault (not lelouch since he didn’t mean it although he knew it’d eventually happen)
Lacus of cos… everyone only wants Euphemia dead.
@Hei: I guess that’s one point for Lacus ^^;
@rollchan: Haha, yes… Euphie does have the ultimate fan: Nina =)
@waffo: Guu?
@DKellis: Haha I’m sorry DKellis… was there something wrong with what I said? ^^;
@Nekonron: I suppose Lacus does indeed seem like the “perfect” female characters. Even with that innocent act she pulls from time to time, she seems to be very secretive too.
@anne: Euphie does seem to be a bit of a dreamer… And if anyone could Geass Lacus, it would be Lelouch (he’s the only one actually). Lelouch is probably clever enough to get close enough to Lacus in order to Geass her. Or maybe SEED has a special ability to resist the effects… nevermind I’m probably thinking too much into this hahaha…
Euphie is more bustier than lacus, unless she’s meer. LOL!
Lacus all the way!
Lacus ‘cuz she’s a freakin’ hawt super idol.
Euphie all the way, as a lesser evil ^__^
Hmm… Euphie scored a lot of points with me when she went on her rampage, but… it was not self-induced, and was forced upon her via Geass, so it is not “true” Psycho-moe.
As for Lacus… while she has great potential to be “Darth Pinkus”, she fails to incite any excitement within me. Seriously, unless they make an OVA where she goes “Just as planned!” while cradling the head of her fallen enemies, I cannot see myself voting for her anytime soon.
So in the end, both are lacking and if forced to choose, I would choose Euphie because at least she gave a display of psychoticism.
Cheers.
Euphie wins because she actually manages to die, that’s the sole quality I can respect in annoying pink-haired girls.
You guys are forgetting something, Code Geass hasn’t ended yet. And I predict a Zombie Euphie or some sort of Deus Ex Machina to explain why she comes back to life.
Lacus Clyne because she’s from Gundam
Plus she has those cute lil’robot pets that you can’t resist the cuteness of XD

I think it speaks for themselves
Obviously I´m all gung-ho for Lacus. But then again, she shares a lot of points with Euphie. Wanting to have a peacefull world for example, if Lelouch hadn´t geassed her it would have worked out.
And sure, Kira is a crybaby in the first season, no wonder when you think back on how he had to act and what he did. Suzaku on the other hand is only playing a role as he would gladely have killed everything in sight if he was his ordinary way, I don´t think Euphie would have liked that since much of her admiration for Suzaku is his ability to finish fights without killing people.
Lacus being the pink haired princess she is has the ability to convince and get help from people, thus making it quite easy to get her hands on the newest models of Gundams and such. Espacially before she was branded a traitor by Patrik Zala.
Euphie is spoiled by her sister, but she has the right mindset and wants to make things her own way and she also has a slight power to convince. But what stands in her favor is her “sacrifacing mode” where she will gladely take the hit for someone else, which in most single braincelled girls is Oh MISTRESS result…
For me? I´d rather take the bullet than have a princess stand up for me. One should protect what is important.
But as I said, Lacus all the way
M-E-E-R!
just kidz… EUPHIE!!!!
yes my lord!
I say Lacus even though I don’t like her. She has more influence over people than the Chairman had. (Reason why Meer was needed.) She has her own private army (Clyne Faction)who builts freaking God-Gundam. (She had the Freedom in her basement.) A pop idol who can brainwash people. (Her voice = Lulu’s Geass) Lacus was smart enough was carry out her plans unlike Euphie who was more like a dreamer as mentioned before by someone.
One thing I don´t understand is why everyone calls Euphie a dreamer? If she hadn´t been geassed we don´t know how it would have worked out. My guess? For the better since she took in Suzaku as her knight(1+ point for equal rights) and with Lelouchs help they were going to bring Japan back to it´s former glory(1+ for equal rights) and if they had succedded, who knows what would have happened?
Give the poor girl som credit. She had big dreams and was just going to put them into action, but trouble came thundering down and it didn´t end well at all.
Of course, Lacus Clyne!
Euphie just sits around, dreams big, then waits for big brother/big sister/boyfriend to make something happen.
You don’t see Lacus running around waiting for someone to rescue her, do you? Lacus comes up with a realistic plan, then implements it. In the meantime, she also knocks sense into Kira when he’s in his odd (staring at the ocean/doing nothing) phases.
If you’re gonna have pink hair, at least have the guts to protect yourself. I am not a fan of the damnsel-in-distress mode.
euphie all the way!!!!
lacus should be getting somewhat outdated now 0.o
lol.. jungle guu ftw
Obviously Lacus. Just mention the hair is enough. Lacus is someone that makes the impossible posible whereas Euphie, although nice, cant do anything by herself and cant think.
If Lacus was in Euphie position, the Chaos will definitely stop by now, especially with Kira , the Ultimate Coordinator, as her partner.
Suzaku Kururugi x Euphie Li Britannia
Euphemia-sama FTW!!!
She’s a real princess, not some pop-singer-turned-terrorist pretender.
Lacus Clyne ftw and the name support it lacus is cuter than euphemia
she sing better song i wish i can kiss her and get merry with her lacus stand for LA euphemia stand for Europe Lacus Clyne here I come
Lucus is both wise and pretty
and she gives me an impression that she is incarnation of goddess
Euphie, as i think, is not as smart
and she is rather a tragic character
Lacus! They may both be considerate but unlike Euphie, Lacus is not indecisive. Also Euphie has an annoying voice.
Lacus Clyne – (my opinion ^^) one of the most, independent female character in a anime, not to mention the big part or role she had in gundam seed destiny, she does things on her own, decides on her own. Beauty and Brain FTW
I agree with what Manga said.. she was definitely putting big things into motion and Lelouch had to have that time happen to be the time when he lost control of his Geass… por under-rated Euphie-sama
Lacus ftw
My all-time favourite character
Lacus. She is a singer, captain of the ship Eternal and leads the Clyne Faction. Voted most popular female character at Animage’s Anime Grand Prix four times: in 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2006.
And FYI about the part where she has lots conections: Her father is the ex-chairman of the military, and she leads an entire faction. Lacus actually does something about the war.
Euphie is cute, but she is just born royal. A royal pain, that is. Her status is only on birth basis. Going on a killing spree is just stupid. If thats the way you are gonna do it, then its not gonna end till every one of your enemies are killed.
If you were to even compare their popularity in the stories: face it. Lacus, actually Meer(but they thought it was Lacus), got popularity from the giant hourglass colony, to the earth, and they followed her cause she did so much in the previous war. If the media is gonna hound Euphie, its cause her dad is big, strong and powerful.
Enough said.
I went to check, she’s top heroine for the 2007 Animage Anime Grand Prix too.
isnt euphie a combine version of lacus and the onegai teacher lady. I like them both…but i go with euphie because she die…and yes your highness
If Lacus was in Euphie position, the Chaos will definitely stop by now, especially with Kira , the Ultimate Coordinator, as her partner.
buonchet added these pithy words on Dec 15 07 at 11:01 pm
u dumb or somthin euphie was geassed if lacus was to be geassed she is gonna go rampage as well
Lacus all the way!!
Well Euphie had a thing or two characteristics that I like but still… Lacus all the way!!
She even have those golden hair deco on her head.
…and Euphie is dead… Dead I tell ya!! Sob sob… NOT!! Kekeke….
All Hail Lacus!!
You fools. Euphie’s got her own GS. Lacus will never be able to pilot anything.
Plus, she got her own Geass.
EUPHEMIA LI BRITANNIA!! <333!! because she rulxx
Euphie died a way too early..if not, she could become as popular as Lacus…
Euphemia.
Because Lacus Clyne is a character as unrealistic as it gets.
In Seed she wasn’t as bad but with Destiny combined,Lacus’s became
an impossible to exist figurehead, who dates Superman, and probably is evil overload over the super-kira. -_-…
Looking at how her character turned out to be, I couldn’t help but feel,
she has become the ultimate fabrication of how females should be in male fantasies. And Meer, adding the cute.sexy sides completes her. -_-…
Euphemia was way more flawed, and she did not have any powers, and she was frustrating at times, but she struggled like rest of us humans.
gundam is my favorite anime
in da worllldddd.
tho i love code geassss.
imma have to say lacus clynee;
LACUS CLYNE ! =D
I like LACUS!!!
because Euphemia died very early during code geass…but Lacus is a good singer,and of course she is beautiful all the way!Euphemia would have been famous but she died so early!And if Lacus is in Euphemia’s position ,the war would have ended earlier,with the help of Kira Yamato!!!
Go Lacus! I am a no. 1 fan of you!!!
Lacus….
coz she’s a great singer and a very wise persOn!!!^^
Her characteristics are so rare…
Euphie is very common!!!
@everyone calling Euphie just a dreamer & useless…I admit the first time through Code Geass I didn’t like Euphie, but now that I’m rewatching it, she’s really growing on me. She WAS going to accomplish something–she had established the SAZ plan that would bring equality to the Japanese. She wasn’t commanding an army to fight for justice (that was Lelouch’s role) but she was still accomplishing things with her own power. Keep in mind too, that even for a princess she had little to no influence–people never took her seriously, but despite that she never gave up, she still kept trying to find a way for everyone to be happy. I find her to be the most tragic character in Geass actually; besides Nunnally, she’s probably the only purely “good” character, but she ends up hated by the very people she tried to help because of a misunderstanding. And Lelouch, who is indirectly responsible for her rampage (why was he joking about that anyway?) becomes the hero of the Japanese.
Pilot said “You fools. Euphie’s got her own GS. Lacus will never be able to pilot anything. Plus, she got her own Geass.”
Actually, Lacus was able to pilot something. Aside from being the Captain of Eternal, she piloted the Infinite Justice. Though it’s shown she’s just sitting, one should know that an MS wouldn’t move without someone making it.
Go Clyne! Go Lacus!
