Yumi Ishiyama

history

Yumi was born in Kyoto, Japan, and her family immigrated to France when she was young.[1] Her parents raised her under traditional Japanese values. She shows complete respect for her parents and dislikes having conflicts with them. She seeks to learn more about her country's culture from them and wishes to return to her Japanese roots later in life.

appearance

In regard to Yumi's personality, her instant trademark is how she is shown to always prefer black clothes, basically the American goth look; a black sweater which doesn't cover her belly button, black skintight jeans, and black boots. Her Season 4 outfit is like her sports clothes consisting of a dark graphite blouse and matching pants with a purple hem. She wears the same boots as in Seasons 1-3 (this being seen in Cold Sweat where when an embarrassing childhood Halloween photo of her is seen, she is wearing big black boots in the picture). On Lyoko, she is dressed in a black and red sleeveless skirt-length kimono, red leggings, white hand-length sleeves, black thigh-length boots with white bandages wrapping her shins, a large yellow bow that ties together on her back (where she conceals her tessens), her face is powdered pure white like a geisha girl and her black hair is tied in a short tail on top of her head. However, thanks to Jeremy's upgrades at the start of Season 4, her Lyoko battlesuit has become considerably more streamlined; a dark burgundy catsuit with magenta accents that highlight the tops of her legs and her high-heeled black boots are replaced with matching magenta sneakers. She now wears shoulder pads, a white vambrace, two pill-like capsules above her eyebrows, the yellow bow on her back has been simplified to look more like a pack, and her hair has changed to look exactly like it does on Earth.

personality

Yumi is calm and collected, preferring to get acquainted with people before opening up to them. She comes across as cold from a distance, but once trust is established she assumes a limitless fidelity towards the people whom she likes. She is generous and understanding of people's emotions and personalities, and tries her best to reassure them of her commitment, care and trust. Her personality was primarily inspired by series co-creater Tania Palumbo.[2] Aspects were also said to be taken from Sophie Decroisette, specifically her being serious and reserved.[3] The easiest way to hurt Yumi is to betray that trust. Her patience only goes so far, and Yumi has often lashed out at people only to deeply regret it later on. This extends throughout major aspects of her life, including the less-than-stable nature of her parents' marriage, the wild antics of her younger brother, and above all the stagnant state of the relationship between herself and Ulrich. Yumi often finds herself struggling to tolerate indecisiveness or uncertainty, which often leads to conflict between herself and the rest of the Lyoko Warriors (as seen in episodes such as The Secret or Echoes), however her faith in her friends always wins out in the end. Yumi is fully committed, both to the fight against X.A.N.A. and to her schoolwork and sports. She is an adept athlete, focuses heavily on her studies and takes martial arts, the latter of which she does despite her parents calling it 'weird.' She is also very popular at school (particularly with the boys) but generally finds it to be either irritating or irrelevant. It is stated at various points that Yumi is proud of her Japanese heritage, and enjoys sharing aspects of it, such as in The Girl of the Dreams when she presents at the end of her class report an authentic suit of samurai armor that has belonged to her family for hundreds of years. In the Code Lyoko Evolution episodes Suspicions, Friday the 13th and Intrusion, Yumi is also shown to be interested in charity and environmental projects.

personal Info

Aside from her complicated romance with Ulrich, one of Yumi's other main character focuses is her parents' rather unstable marriage, which has proven to be a major strain on her from time to time. Her father and mother can often be heard bickering in the background whenever an episode takes a focus on her home, and at one point, her father even left the house and shortly resided with a friend from work, which took place in Laughing Fit. This is shown to have had a major strain on Yumi as she struggled to understand why her parents were arguing in the first place. Although it is often dismissed, she is seen to have a small attraction to William which is often seen at many points in the series. Despite this, Yumi claims he is nothing more than just a friend. These feelings are never ventured, however, rather than just a minor attraction. On Lyoko, Yumi is virtualized in geisha form before her avatar is soon re-designed as a ninja in Season 4. Equipped with formidable metallic fans with defensive properties (acting as shields) and also as offensive missiles, she proves to be a considerable adversary against the monsters of X.A.N.A.. Along with her sharp fans used like ninja stars, she also has telekinetic powers for making life difficult for the henchmen of the computer villain. It is realized in the first three seasons that using her telekinetic power on Lyoko is painful and can quickly exhaust her very easily. However, in the fourth season, this proved to be no longer an issue with her new Lyoko avatar. Yumi, like Ulrich, has a strong interest in Pencak Silat, which is very useful in battles on Lyoko and is shown to excel in the art. She is seen regularly practicing moves with Ulrich or in a professional class at Kadic. Outside of Lyoko, Yumi seems like one of the more normal characters. Having a normal family with regular sibling rivalry. Yumi is more or less a wallflower, often secluding herself from others despite having the potential for popularity. Yumi is in ninth grade for the first two seasons and in the 10th grade in seasons three and four. In the first three seasons, she was fourteen years old but had turned fifteen in Lab Rat. This implies that Yumi is now sixteen years old, as Code Lyoko Evolution takes place one whole year after Season 4.

Relationships

The relationship of Yumi and Ulrich is complex and often very ambiguous since they often don't share their thoughts about each other often, even though their feelings are more than obvious throughout the course of the show. In X.A.N.A. Awakens, showing how Ulrich and Yumi first met, the two can be shown to have something of a first attraction to each other, which significantly grows throughout the episode. They two almost kiss in Routine, after their repressed attraction and feelings come to head, but they decide to keep it a secret. Strong respect, mutual admiration and reciprocal feelings (although distant) join these two figures in a very strong relationship. They often find themselves wavering between platonic friendship and genuine romance on a regular basis throughout the show. In Exploration, however, Yumi admits to her parents that she's "in love" when they begin to get suspicious about her daily late-night trips to Lyoko and want an explanation. When her friends ask her what she told them, she simply says she "told them the truth" and smiles at Ulrich. However, in Straight to Heart, Yumi declares that they need to assume a platonic relationship status once and for all and announces that they can be friends, but nothing more. This clearly upsets Ulrich, but he begrudgingly goes along with her decision without any argument. Despite this decision on both parts, it becomes clear that they still have feelings for each other. It is implied in the Season 4 finale, Echoes, that they're eventually re-exploring the romantic part of their relationship again. In Code Lyoko Evolution, one year after the Season 4 finale, it seems as though Ulrich and Yumi have gone back to their "just good friends" status at the beginning of the season (although Ulrich tries to confess his love for her on multiple occasions, and has apparently given up). But as the plot thickens, their romantic relationship, or at least their romantic attraction to each other becomes more and more apparent. She even goes as far as to (indirectly) call him her "soul mate" through an English story assignment when basing a main male character (who is the love interest of the female character) on him in Intrusion. Also, near the end of the episode, Yumi and Ulrich finally admit how much they care for each other and seemingly reconcile their blossoming romance. Later in Massacre, when Aelita asks Yumi how her relationship with Ulrich is going, Yumi admits that things are going much better since he has become more "considerate" towards her feelings, argued less with William and has become more mature than he's been in the past, making her happy. William Dunbar "He's not my boyfriend! He's a little too clingy for me anyhow." –Yumi to Odd in I'd Rather Not Talk About It. William and Yumi become instant friends upon his arrival at Kadic, much to the jealousy of Ulrich. William can clearly be seen developing a crush on her during their continued encounters and soon starts to have feelings for her. His romantic feelings are obvious and he does not bother to hide them to anyone, including Yumi herself, being the polar opposite of how Ulrich handles his feelings towards her. Yumi's shown to have a small attraction to William initially, blushing after he tells her love makes him "totally insane" in New Order and giving him a kiss on the cheek after he gave her flowers in Saint Valentine's Day (although it is implied she only did that to get back at Ulrich for reading a poem that was meant for her to Sissi). Her feelings for Ulrich conflicted with hers for William, which William correctly guessed was why she said she was "confused" when turning down a kiss from him in A Bad Turn. After Yumi said no to William's offer to take her to the end of the year dance in The Key, she seemed to have lost interest in him. In The Secret, she says she thought his "dumb two-bit Casanova act", while "nice" at first, was "sickening" now and tells him to leave her alone. She reconfirms her feelings in I'd Rather Not Talk About It, when she tells Odd he's "too clingy for me anyhow". Finally in Echoes, she again turns him down and refers to their relationship as "a lost cause". Jeremie Belpois The relationship between Jeremie and Yumi can be compared to that of siblings as she often treats him such. Even though Yumi cares about Jeremie a lot, she gets easily angry if she is convinced that Jeremie has made a mistake that affects herself or others' health. An example of this would be in Nobody in Particular, where Jeremie tries to virtualize Ulrich directly into Sector Five for the first time, but then Yumi and the rest of the team become distraught when they realize that the program failed and Ulrich had completely disappeared, maybe forever. Despite this, Jeremie trusts Yumi more than he does with Ulrich, Odd, or William, mostly because of her being slightly smarter than the other three. Jeremie even trusted his very first virtualization to Yumi's hands in Frontier. Odd Della Robbia Despite often getting on her nerves, Odd can be considered a good friend to her. He often teases her and Ulrich about their obvious romantic attraction, much to her and Ulrich's annoyance. Although on occasion, he has pushed the two together, knowing of their repressed attraction, and often urging Ulrich to admit his feelings for her and is disdained when his attempts fail. At the beginning of the episode Down to Earth, he even openly tells the two that while they try to insist to everyone that they are only friends, no one buys it. Aelita Schaeffer "We can have a girl-to-girl talk for once." –Yumi to Aelita in Common Interest. Aelita is Yumi's only good/best female friend and companion as she doesn't spend much of her time among the other girls at Kadic, despite obviously getting along just fine with them, and simply prefers spending her time with boys. She and Aelita can be seen to be rather close and sometimes can compare to that of two sisters. In Double Trouble, Yumi and Aelita claim to share a form of 'female intuition' which they used to assure the rest of the group of their safety. This was immediately disproven as X.A.N.A. triggered an attack and they fallen into a trap. Education and the Lyoko Warriors She is the only member of the group living off-campus, whereas the rest of them are dormitory residents. Socially, her relationships do not seem to preoccupy her much; she seems to pay real attention only to her inner group of friends. While some schoolmates admire her when others despise her, she pays no attention rather focusing her attention only on her group of friends. She is shown to be very popular among boys who are interested in her, enticed by her natural and cryptic beauty. Yumi, however, often kindly rejects any attempt on their part. Yumi is undoubtedly the most mature and the most thoughtful of the group. Naturally warranting respect, her opinion is always taken into account. She always acts within the group as defending others; it is she who makes important decisions on the group's direction, and it is to her that they come for advice.

physical skills

Yumi is arguably the most physically capable of the Lyoko Warriors. She is revealed in the prequel to be a formidable martial artist, able to match Ulrich in hand-to-hand combat. She has knowledge of many gymnastics techniques, which serves her well on both Lyoko and the real world as seen in The Key. She is also incredibly strong for her age, able to tear a screwed-in metal grate out of the ground as seen in the episode Revelation. In Tip-Top Shape, Yumi set the school record for the 100-meter sprint, with her time being 14.35 seconds. As revealed in Countdown, Yumi is apparently skilled in a form of stealth called "ninja mode" and has taught this technique to Odd.

Lyoko

Lyoko (pronounced either l'yoh-koh or lee-oh-koh), sometimes spelt Lyokô,[1] is a virtual world, contained and accessible by a Supercomputer within the Factory. It was designed by Franz Hopper, as a means of digitally representing and accessing the abilities of the Supercomputer. The world is divided into five Sectors, all with their own unique features. Each sector is isolated from the others by a physical representation of the Internet known as the Digital Sea. A sparse, unpopulated world, the most notable landmarks on Lyoko are the Towers scattered around it; twenty-one in each main sector and only one in Sector Five.[2] These towers act as data processing nodes, pathways to the real world, and safe havens for those on Lyoko. towers The towers serve as data processing nodes for the supercomputer, and as a link between Lyoko and the real world. By infecting these towers (usually one at a time, but sometimes more) X.A.N.A. can attack the real world. Aelita, Jeremie, and Franz Hopper can operate the towers in the same manner, but not anywhere near as fast and skillfully as X.A.N.A. can. X.A.N.A. can take over towers activated by Jeremie, and Franz can do the same with both Jeremie's and X.A.N.A.'s towers. Aelita is capable of deactivating any activated tower by entering the Code: LYOKO, in the interface inside a tower. Throughout the four main Sectors, giant wires wind their way out from the 5th sector to each of the towers in each of the Sectors, acting as conduits for data. Red energy can be seen pulsing through these wires whenever X.A.N.A. activates a tower, and pulsations follow the wires along the ground. These wires can be severed. In Code Lyoko Evolution, Odd, Ulrich and Yumi are now also capable of using towers as long as they have their source codes. Benefits Because those on Lyoko are digital rather than organic, they do not age. A clear example of this is given with Aelita, who spends nearly a decade on Lyoko after arriving there around the age of 12. She does not age at any point during that time, though her voice and intelligence change significantly in her slumber. According to Jeremie's explanation of the five senses in Cruel Dilemma, those on Lyoko have two: sight and hearing. However, other episodes have shown that Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi have the other three senses (taste, touch, and smell) to a certain degree. desgin Lyoko was designed by 3D scenery director Eric Guillon based off the original concept Garage Kids.[6] The design of Lyoko came after a long series of discussions with director Jérôme Mouscadet, who said "[...] to be able to create layouts rapidly, we would make something LEGO-like, with plates, that are the sectors: desert, mountain, and so on; and then have a number of specific building blocks such as rocks, trees for the forest sector for instance, that we could arrange rather rapidly[.]" This choice was partially due to budgetary reasons from the series being produced in France, with him explaining "[...] it’s so expensive to do shot-based layout, that is create an image for each shot, that it immediately becomes like a full-length movie and you explode in mid-flight[.]" Various films were used as reference while designing the sectors.[7] The Forest Sector took inspiration from Princess Mononoke, while the Mountain Sector drew from Mulan and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the Desert Sector was influenced by Lawrence of Arabia. When it came time for the second season, Mouscadet said they wanted to "go to the center of Lyoko" and created a fifth sector to achieve this.[8] The four original sectors had always rotated on the holomap from Guillon's initial concept art, so they "decided that the central sector could only be spherical". The layout of the rooms in the sector were gradually decided afterwards. history After Franz Hopper left Project Carthage and went into hiding, he built the supercomputer and created Lyoko to serve as a safe haven for him and Aelita from his enemies within the government.[2] He split the Keys to Lyoko between himself and Aelita, which would make the pair the absolute masters of Lyoko. According to his diary, he then lastly created X.A.N.A. to destroy Project Carthage: a military project designed to block enemy communications. The government eventually found him, forcing him to flee to Lyoko with Aelita. Upon reaching Lyoko, Aelita and Franz were attacked by X.A.N.A. Franz had tried to reason with X.A.N.A., but was unsuccessful. As a last-ditch attempt to stop X.A.N.A., Franz shut down the supercomputer, and it remained that way for nine years. Once it was reactivated by Jeremie, X.A.N.A. took complete control of Lyoko and used it to attack the real world. Two weeks after his escape from the supercomputer during The Key and creating Replikas of Lyoko's sectors in different supercomputers across the world, X.A.N.A.'s new goal was to destroy Lyoko itself in order to prevent the Lyoko Warriors from fighting it on the network but more importantly to finally destroy the biggest threat to its plan for global dominance: its own creator. Knowing that Franz Hopper was still on Lyoko somewhere, X.A.N.A. immediately targeted the Core of Lyoko at the heart of Sector Five but after being stopped by Aelita's new powers, instead thought to delete each of the surface sectors one-by-one to prevent them from accessing Sector Five. It did this by possessing Aelita using the Scyphozoa and forcing her to enter the Code: X.A.N.A. in each sector's Way Tower. During the events of Finale Round, X.A.N.A. took advantage of the team's newest member, William Dunbar and possessed him in order to destroy the Core, resulting in Lyoko collapsing upon itself, leaving only a X.A.N.A.-possessed William in his wake. Franz Hopper, who managed to escape Lyoko's destruction, was able to send a coded message to Jeremie and Aelita with instructions on how to restore the entirety of Lyoko. In Season 4, X.A.N.A. still kept attempting to destroy Lyoko after its restoration, and attempted to sabotage the team anyway possible in order to prevent them from catching up with his plans. When recreating Lyoko, Jeremie and Aelita deleted the keys from Sector Five and added a hangar for the Skidbladnir. X.A.N.A. later met his doom at Lyoko as Jeremie launched a program that could destroy him once and for all. Sectors of Lyoko The first Sector in numerical order is the Ice Sector. The others are numbered counterclockwise starting from the first. Sector Five is the fifth sector (See Sectors for more info). Ice Sector Icelocation Ice Sector in Holomap. True to its name, the Ice Barrier (also known as the "Glacier Region" or "Polar Region" in Season 1) is cold and icy. Composed of large glaciers and thin paths covered in a thin layer of snow, the Ice Sector is just as slippery as any ice-covered area in the real world. While not dark, there is no visible sunlight in this region. Many of the towers in this sector are only accessible through various caves and tunnels, which sometimes forces the group to slide through the tunnels to reach their destination. Additionally, in the episode The Girl of the Dreams, Odd mentions that Aelita may be "in a storm or snowbound," referring to a blizzard, but this phenomenon has yet to be observed in any episode. Simulated water (not to be confused with the Digital Sea) exists in this sector, and like actual water, can be swum through. X.A.N.A's monsters have proven to be less than proficient swimmers, as four Tarantulas drowned in the Temptation. Odd on the other hand has no trouble swimming through the water in Vertigo. With enough speed, Ulrich can run across the top of the water. This is the only sector X.A.N.A. was unable to delete in Season 3. Though he manages to possess Aelita to do so in an episode prior, it is Aelita herself who willingly deletes it in a Pyrrhic victory in Sabotage so Jeremie could repair the supercomputer. After X.A.N.A's death and mysterious return, it was revealed that the Ice Sector had disappeared. Desert Sector Desertlocation Desert Sector in Holomap. The Desert (like any desert worth its name) is dry and sandy as far as the eye can see. It has an oasis, but the water stored there is just an illusion. It leads to a lower platform. The biggest danger is falling off the edge (plateaus are rather small here) and into the Digital Sea below. The Desert is very sunny, reflecting the bright and dry climate of regular deserts. X.A.N.A. has the ability to create sandstorms in this sector (only seen in Log Book), as well as tremors that cause the plateaus to break apart. Additionally, in Plagued, X.A.N.A. was able to tilt a plateau to a 90 degree angle. Aelita, Odd, and Ulrich were on the plateau at the time and would have fallen into the Digital Sea had Aelita not used her Creativity to save them. The Krabes were able to traverse the tilted plateau easily thanks to their scythe-like legs. Megatanks are the least proficient in this sector, as their high speed causes them to fall from the plateaus in this Sector. However, the craggy rocks in this sector enable them to easily wage a sneak attack. Forest Sector Forestlocation Forest Sector in Holomap. Mystery reigns in the enchanted-looking Forest. Graceful trees, suspended in mid-air, let their roots dangle into the Digital Sea. The Forest can be considered the most beautiful of the 5 Sectors. It also has narrow paths rather than plateaus, though the chance of falling into the sea here is less than in the Desert. Despite that, this is not the only Sector where someone has actually fallen into the sea. Yumi has fallen in the sea in Cruel Dilemma. The trees also provide excellent cover, which can lead to traps. Like the Ice Sector, there is simulated water in this sector, but in a much smaller quantity. The Forest is typically bright, but not as much so as the Desert. The Forest noticeably changes in the transition between Seasons 1 and 2. In the Season 2, it is far brighter than before, appears to have more trees, and has larger land masses than it previously had. Throughout the series, the Forest Sector serves as the center of Lyoko's plot-related events. In an episode a tower was in the middle of some simulated water. However, this was never shown again. After X.A.N.A's death and mysterious return, it was revealed that the Forest Sector had disappeared. Mountain Sector Territoire Montagnes clip image006 Mountain Sector in Holomap. Its peaks craggy and its stones sharp, one false move in the Mountain and the group will topple off the rocks into the gaping void beneath. The Mountains are full of moving platforms and tricky obstacles, and is known for having further platforms underneath the "cloud cover," obscuring the Digital Sea in some areas. These clouds make it difficult to aim oneself onto the lower plateaus. X.A.N.A. can extend and thicken the fog. If one of the warriors falls a sufficient distance, regardless of whether or not they land properly, 20 life points are lost on impact. Though not dark, no sunlight is visible in this sector, as the cloud cover obscures it. This is the last Sector to be deleted in Double Trouble. Being mostly empty sky, the Hornets have the advantage over the group in this sector. In contrast, the narrow paths discourage the use of Megatanks in this sector, since falling off of the edge is quite easy. However, the Megatank's attack makes them effective blockades on narrow paths, since one Megatank can effectively cover a tower on its own without having to worry about retaliation. This is the 2nd and last Sector to be turned invisible in Tip-Top Shape and because of this, Yumi almost fell into the Digital Sea. Sector Five. Sector Five is hidden deep within Lyoko that was accidentally discovered in Uncharted Territory. Initially, it's only accessible by the special password SCIPIO (from Scipio Africanus, who defeated Hannibal of Carthage in 202 B.C.). This summons the Transport Orb to the edges of the other sectors furthest from Sector Five to carry its passengers to the Sector's core, called the arena. At the end of Double Trouble, immediately after the Mountain Sector had been deleted, Jeremie finally developed a program allowing him to virtualize the warriors directly into the sector. Sector Five is the very core of Lyoko itself, with only one normal tower instead of the standard twenty with an additional Way Tower. The Sector itself is shaped as a giant blue sphere. On the outside surface of the sphere is a barrier covered with images of binary code similar to those seen in the towers. Floating in the middle of the Sector is the main body of Sector Five — a smaller, but still massive, blue orb. 4 data streams feed from equidistant points on its surface to the 4 other sectors. Everything in Sector Five is blue and geometrically shaped. In this Sector, the Digital Sea has been replaced by a data barrier similar to the ones in the towers, but falling into it seems to be just as bad as falling into the sea. The interior of the orb is an ever-changing maze, designed to act as a security feature to prevent intruders from finding their way around. The interior rooms and corridors of Sector Five are composed of planes, cubes, and rectangles that can slide freely over, around, and against each other. Therefore, this Sector can reconfigure its topography at will. Upon accessing Sector Five, the labyrinth will reconfigure into a random pattern and a 3-minute countdown will begin, allowing whoever enters to try and traverse the labyrinth and disable the security system. The security system is disabled by pressing a X.A.N.A.-Eye shaped switch (called a "key") somewhere within Sector Five. Like the rest of the Sector, the key is moved with each visit. Failure to deactivate the security system results in the users being trapped in Sector Five and having to wait on someone else to reset the maze from the arena. They do have about a minute or so to escape before this happens though. After recreating Sector Five, Jeremie removes this system, allowing free access to the Sector. After the security system is shut down, a pathway out of the maze opens up. This leads to a multi-directional elevator. It only stops at one point, so a carefully-timed jump is needed to board it. The elevator moves on tracks around the outer surface of the sphere. It will eventually pause to allow its passenger(s) to disembark. It always pauses at the same spot; another platform that leads to the outer surface of Sector Five. On the surface is a special interface that allows full access to the supercomputer, Lyoko, and X.A.N.A.'s data. While the interface is being used, the user controls in the lab are locked out. Leaving the Sector can be achieved 1 of 2 ways: the users can either head back to arena and take the Transport Orb or they can head to the surface and wait for Jeremie to open one of the data streams. The 1st option allows the user(s) to be dropped off anywhere in Lyoko. The 2nd allows them to exit through an exit tower in the sector that corresponds to the data stream they use. Since the towers are destroyed in Season 4, the gang ends up outside of a giant hole outside of Sector Five. Within this Sector are unique monsters that call it home. The first of these are the Creepers. These monsters never leave Sector Five. They aren't very tough, but possesses powerful lasers and can scale the walls of the sector as if they were walking upright. Another are the Mantas. They usually hatch from the outside surface of the Sector to prevent intruders from leaving, but have traveled to other Sectors on occasion. The last is the Scyphozoa. Unlike the other monsters, the Scyphozoa is nearly (if not completely) invincible. To date, it has only been destroyed once. There seems to be only one throughout the show. This monster's main purpose is to steal memories, usually Aelita's. It first appeared in Sector Five, but now travels wherever it is needed. No other monsters appear in this Sector, likely due to its unique layout and purpose. Sector Five is the only Sector which can actually devirtualize the heroes without the help of monsters. Various traps exist in this region that can remove a hero in 1 or 2 hits. One such set of traps are the walls and ceiling of Sector Five, which can easily be moved into positions that will flatten the heroes. Pieces of the ceiling can also be shaken loose, producing the same, albeit less-controlled, effect. As one would expect, getting flattened automatically devirtualizes them. Odd has been the victim of this trap the most; he compares the experience to being run over by a steamroller. Another less-common trap are security lasers. These have only appeared in "Exploration" and when Yumi lost 90 life points of damage in a single hit. This Sector is not connected to the regular materialization program, which means that if the characters lose their life points here, they will not automatically return to Earth unless the proper program is run. In "Exploration," Aelita was forced to sort through the data contained within the Sector in order to find the proper materialization program. This Sector was the first Sector to exist. As described by Franz Hopper, the original Project Carthage seems to be represented by this Sector, even though the project existed before the Supercomputer did. Its purpose was to disrupt enemy communications. For a reason that has yet to be revealed, Hopper sought the destruction of this place. To that end, he designed the supercomputer, Lyoko, and X.A.N.A. to destroy it. He never went through with this plan, though. Instead, he reworked the rest of Lyoko to serve as a sanctuary for him and Aelita. When they were finally forced to travel there, X.A.N.A. rebelled. It isn't clear why he did so, but it is clear that X.A.N.A. took control of the Sector instead of destroying it as Hopper had intended. Within the heart of Sector Five lies Lyoko's core, the entity that holds all of the source codes and vital programs which maintains the virtual world. Should it be Core of lyoko The very Heart/Core of Lyoko itself, which maintains the entire virtual world. destroyed, Lyoko and anyone on it would go with it. The core is suspended near the top of Sector Five's inner chamber by three conduits. The core itself is a miniature version of Lyoko. Surrounding the core are two transparent cubes, both of which act as shields. A large amount of sustained laser fire is required to break through them. Since these shields regenerate with each failed attempt to destroy the core, destroying it takes a long time. The core is only accessible through a passage on the bottom of Sector Five, and the passage is protected by a door that rapidly alternates between open and closed. A key similar to the one that shuts off the timer is present just past the door, and produces a staircase into the actual room. The dock for the virtual ship Skidbladnir is later created in a similar location, and even has an elevator to access it. This elevator, however, stops at several points for easy access. In addition, the dock is located near the top of the huge glowing white orb. As of X.A.N.A's second return the moutain,desert,ice and forsert sectors also return. virtual limbo Seen only twice (once in Frontier and again in Jeremie's dream in Code: Earth), the virtual limbo exists as a null space between Lyoko and the real world. It exists within the Supercomputer's memory, which Aelita is linked to. Jeremie was accidentally trapped here when he 1st attempted to go to Lyoko. The scanner memory had been cut off before the process had completed, trapping him in the limbo. Upon his arrival, Jeremie was able to speak to Aelita through her link to the Supercomputer's memory. Through the link, Jeremie was able to tell the others how to free him. After traveling to all 4 regions and collecting the scanner memory from all 4 passage towers in Season 1, Aelita was able to travel into the limbo and free him. During that time, their minds were connected, which allowed them to sense the other's very thoughts, emotions and feelings. digital sea The Digital Sea is data floating about the network that looks and moves like water, hence the name. It lines every Sector in Lyoko, with the exception of Sector Five, which is lined with an equivalent data barrier. Falling into the sea causes permanent devirtualization, reducing a person to data that is pulled through the network at random. Monsters on Lyoko are destroyed when they impact the sea, producing a large column of energy. Jeremie can track down those people who are lost and use his materialization program to recover them, but he still doesn't recommend falling in since finding them is a difficult task. Yumi is the one of those that has ever fallen in (in Cruel Dilemma), and she was recovered shortly after, though only barely and Jeremie was only able to save her because Odd had inadvertently entered the proper code earlier (by dropping candy on it), creating a one-time materialization program. Aelita has fallen into the Digital sea once (in Distant Memory). However, she was saved by Franz Hopper, who manifested himself as a glowing ball of pure energy. In Season 4, X.A.N.A. William could come and go through the sea as needed. Later, Jeremie decides that the best way to find X.A.N.A. is to search the Digital Sea. To that end, he creates a specialized vehicle dubbed Skidbladnir (after the Norse ship of legend) to explore it. The Digital Sea resembles a large upside-down city, the "buildings" presumed to be networked databases by Aelita. Various network "hubs" are anchored to the city by glowing blue tubes, allowing for near-instantaneous travel across large distances in the network. X.A.N.A. even has monsters inside the Digital Sea, such as the Kongres. Also floating within the sea are specially-designed "Replikas" of Lyoko, created by X.A.N.A. from the data he had stolen from Aelita (Presumably in The Key). Each Replika consists of a single Lyoko sector, and is powered by its own Supercomputer in the real world. Jeremie's plan throughout most of Season 4 is to find a way to destroy the X.A.N.A.-built Supercomputers by creating a method of materializing the group's Lyoko powers into the real world. In "Rock Bottom?", it is stated by Aelita that Lyoko is constantly changing its position on the Network, meaning either different parts of the Digital Sea flow into it at different times as it drifts across the Internet, or that Lyoko isn't actually housed in the Supercomputer at all, but is instead run as a sort of server on the Internet managed by the Supercomputer.

Overview

X.A.N.A. virtualizes monsters to use as minions inside of the virtual world. In place of avatars, they are made to interact with Lyoko's sectors, and mostly uses them to fight the Lyoko Warriors and enemies in the virtual world, guard its activated Towers, and attack targets that it wants deactivated or destroyed. When the goal has been lost or fulfilled, X.A.N.A. either makes them retreat or devirtualize them at will, proving that all of its monsters are merely tools to do its bidding. Virtualization Monsters are created from a basic template program, with all their characteristics, allowing X.A.N.A. to create many monsters, all almost identical. This would correspond to the program created by Jeremie to virtualize vehicles. In some episodes, such as Marabounta, X.A.N.A. virtualizes creatures directly in the field as Jeremie does with the Lyoko Warriors. X.A.N.A.'s monsters take up resources on whichever supercomputer holding the virtual world they fight on. It is capable of sending hordes as seen in The Chips Are Down, but continues to virtualize a few at a time to save machine resources. This is also demonstrated with the Kolossus, which can only be created using the combined power of multiple Replikas around the world network. When monsters fall into the Digital Sea, they are deleted. The destruction of their virtual envelope corresponds to their complete disappearance within the virtual world. Most of them have relatively simple artificial intelligence. monster p.o.v Most monsters have the ability to aim their laser, though they do not seem to do so often. This is shown from the monster's point of view, which is dominated by a trisected, white circle. When targeting something, an upside-down, red triangle follows what they intend to shoot. When it locks on, the red triangle centers within the circle and three red lines connect each vertex of the triangle to the circle. Only a few monsters have directly demonstrated this targeting system, but it is safe to assume that others utilize the same system. powers and Abilities X.A.N.A. equips the monsters accordingly with distinguished weapons and abilities that make each of them a force to be reckoned with in their own right. The primary means of attack they all have in common is their lasers. Every single variant of X.A.N.A.'s monsters are equipped with a pulse cannon capable of blasting amplified red energy bolts located anywhere on their bodies. These lasers generally manifest as narrow light beams as the standard contingent for any monster's firepower. However, depending on the monster, they can manifest in other forms, such as the flat vertical circular sawblade of the megatank or the fire rings of a blok. With every monster, the lasers generally and primarily deliver varying levels of concussive force while on rare occasions, they can simply be used for launching X.A.N.A.'s programs in a more direct manner. One example would be Temporary Insanity where X.A.N.A. used the laser stream fired from the combined forces of two flying mantas to infect Odd and Ulrich with a virus that brainwashed them into inverting their perceptions of both Earth and Lyoko.

Monsters on Lyoko

Kankrelats: These monsters are X.A.N.A.'s weakest creatures, but arguably the most versatile. They usually attack in large swarms. They are much faster than Bloks, and are fairly hard to hit because of their small stature. Sometimes they attack from surprise. Hornets: These are the first monsters that are capable of flight, and are one of the few to have more than one attack. They can fire rapid-fire lasers from their stingers and spray poisonous acid from their heads. Cutting off their wings makes them completely immobile. Bloks: They are one of X.A.N.A.'s most used monsters. Bloks are cube-shaped turrets with six crab-like legs and have three different attacks: standard laser, fire ring, and freeze ray (which can immobilize its target in ice for exactly three minutes if it doesn't cost the target the remainder of their lifepoints as is has done with Ulrich on multiple occasions). However, with an eye on each side of their 'heads' (four in all), their major weakness is that hitting any eye can destroy them and turning them upside down makes them completely immobile. When they are stacked on top of each other like a wall, they shoot an absolutely devastating grand laser. Krabs: They are arguably the tallest of monsters, the most versatile, and generally found in groups of two or three. They can use their legs to stab their enemies, and fire strong lasers from their eyes. In The Chips Are Down and Wreck Room, they demonstrated the ability to project pulse beams from underneath them. This is the only monster that can be destroyed by cutting off its legs. Megatanks: These are one of X.A.N.A.'s most powerful monsters. They are huge armored spheres with indestructible armored outer-casing. They attack with a powerful elliptical laser that can run straight in all vertical directions. To do this attack, it must expose its support ring the laser is fired out of where the Eye is under its armor, making it vulnerable in that moment. Tarantulas: They were first introduced in New Order, where they were depicted as X.A.N.A.'s deadliest monsters due to having more life points than the others and their lasers doing twice as much damage. They are excellent shooters and are very durable. They can fire ray beams from the tips of their front legs that take twenty life-points per impact. As of Evolution, however, they now fire ray beams from their heads. digital sea monsters Kongres: Found only in the Digital Sea. They have the appearance of giant piranha eel monsters. They are the most common monsters seen in the Digital Sea and have only one laser weapon, which is fired from their eyes. Sharks: Found only in the Digital Sea. Shark-like creatures that attack by shooting torpedoes from their mouths. Kalamar: Found only in the Digital Sea. A special monster created to destroy the Skidbladnir. It attacks by latching onto its target and drilling into it. Unique Monsters Scyphozoa: One of X.A.N.A.'s most valuable tools. It has the appearance of a giant jellyfish and is very difficult to destroy. It has the ability to drain the knowledge, DNA, and life force from a victim with its tentacles. It can also implant X.A.N.A.'s virus, possessing them to do its will. Aelita has been its main target, but it has attacked Yumi once and William twice. Kolossus: X.A.N.A.'s largest and ultimate monster. Created by drawing computing power from all of the hundreds of Replikas that it has established all over the Internet. It has the appearance of a giant lava elemental being, with a giant blade replacing its left hand. Its body is indestructible and one attack from it results in instant devirtualization. The only way to destroy it was to simultaneously attack the Eye of X.A.N.A. on its head and its left sword arm.

X.A.N.A.

X.A.N.A. (or more simply spelled as XANA) is the main antagonist of Code Lyoko. It is an artificially intelligent multi-agent computer program created by Waldo Schaeffer in order to destroy Project Carthage, but its power and intelligence grew thanks to the Supercomputer's Time Reversion, becoming self-aware and hostile towards its creator and humanity itself, betraying him and changing its purpose to world domination. Waldo shut down the Supercomputer after realizing how corrupted his creation became but after a decade, was reactivated and fights the Lyoko Warriors and is determined to survive by escaping the Supercomputer and infecting the global network. Despite succeeding in this and killing its creator, X.A.N.A. finally met its end when Jeremie Belpois activated his own multi-agent system designed to destroy all of XANA's Replikas and succeeding in eliminating the hostile program once and for all. In the non-canon continuity, Code Lyoko Evolution, X.A.N.A. instead returned by infecting another virtual world known as the Cortex and planned to recover the source codes that it hid inside of Aelita Schaeffer, Ulrich Stern, Yumi Ishiyama and Odd Della Robbia, in order to regain control of the network again. However, after deactivating both the Cortex and Lyoko again before X.A.N.A. could regain all of its source code, the Lyoko Warriors succeeding in once again destroying XANA, with no chance of return.

X.A.N.A. Appearance

X.A.N.A. is a computer program that has neither physical nor digital form. It keeps an unseen presence inside Lyoko's systems and generates red, pulsating energies that run through the Lyoko Wires when activating a Tower. The specters it manifests into the real world are black, ghostly entities that are extensions of its multi-agent system and are the closest thing it has to a physical existence. XANA X.A.N.A.’s only physical appearance X.A.N.A.'s only real incarnation was in Ghost Channel, masquerading as Jeremie inside a Simulation Bubble meant to imprison Ulrich, Yumi and Odd. It manifested its presence into a monstrous caricature figure of Jeremie, with sharp nails, spiky hair, white glowing eyes and an unnatural aura. In The Key, X.A.N.A. appeared in the form of a massive, whirling specter escaping the Supercomputer above the factory. But the closest thing to a real appearance was in Fight to the Finish, while X.A.N.A. was being destroyed everywhere in the Digital Sea by Jeremie's multi-agent antivirus, the specter that was possessing William was forced out and became a giant entity with its eye symbol on the chest, screaming in agony before it disappears.

X.A.N.A. Personality

X.A.N.A. is a hostile and self-aware program that is solely bent on world domination. It is incredibly intelligent, able to calculate attacks and schemes, even predict behavior patterns to take advantage of. However, it can only know theories and logical patterns due to lacking any true emotion as a program. X.A.N.A. can easily understand base emotions like anger, fear, jealousy, and desire, but can never grasp the complex nature of love, compassion, and empathy for others. Normally, X.A.N.A. is portrayed as an unseen entity inside Lyoko that lacks in personality, but it can display behavioral traits through incarnations (possessed humans, polymorphs, simulations, etc.). It is essentially ruthless and calculating, will use any means necessary to accomplish tasks, does not tolerate failure, and knows when and how to avoid unnecessary attention and deceive others. When it reveals its true self, X.A.N.A. acts hostile, violent, and sadistic when attacking, but can also display arrogance, impatience, mock its enemies, or show begrudging respect on occasion.

X.A.N.A. Personality (2)

Also, X.A.N.A. is a purely logical entity despite its chaotic nature. It acts solely for its own benefit and only truly values its own survival and needs above everything else. It was determined to keep the Supercomputer online to survive before escaping and helped the team destroy the Marabounta to keep Aelita's memory intact and save itself. Also, the team have exploited this logical mindset on two occasions to make it stop its own schemes by threatening things it deems vital to its objectives. As the series progresses, its power, intellect, and motives evolve and become more complex. At first, X.A.N.A. launches random attacks on its enemies and humanity (likely to launch more time reversions to gain more power), while keeping the Supercomputer online to survive. As it gets stronger, X.A.N.A. figures out how to escape into the world network, by stealing the Keys to Lyoko from Aelita's digital memory. Once it succeeds, X.A.N.A. infects other supercomputers to build weapons and robot armies to destroy humanity and conquer Earth, while working to destroy Lyoko to render the team powerless and kill Franz Hopper, the most dangerous enemy, in addition to fighting the Lyoko Warriors to eliminate all of its obstacles.

X.A.N.A. relationships

Lyoko Warriors The Lyoko Warriors are X.A.N.A.'s mortal enemies, thwarting its attacks at every turn. It considers them to be troublesome obstacles and attacks them relentlessly, seizing any opportunities to gain advantages or weaken them, and has no qualms about using them for its own ends. X.A.N.A. also has different views of each and every one of them: Jeremie Belpois: X.A.N.A. targets Jeremie the most out of everyone since he is the only one who can use the lab interface and because it sees him as the source of the group's leadership. It believes that he is the reason for their high success rate. When X.A.N.A. made a clone of him, it remarked that it "was almost proud to resemble him", showing a begrudging respect for the brains of the group due to his high intellect. Aelita Schaeffer: She is the only one out of the group who can deactivate its Towers, making her very dangerous. However, her unique abilities and connection to Franz Hopper makes her valuable to X.A.N.A.'s current objectives. From the Keys to Lyoko in her memory, destroying surface sectors, or luring out Franz Hopper, it always tried to possess and exploit her whenever possible, considering her vital for its current objectives. Yumi Ishiyama: It sees Yumi as one of the more mature and competent of the group. It uses her the most to accomplish its plans and always tries to devirtualize her the most out of the three core fighters. Odd Della Robbia: X.A.N.A. sees Odd as just another annoyance. It even mocked him when its polymorph took his appearance after he suggested that it "turns into a wimp," but seems to respect him enough to have monsters listen to his orders when fighting the Marabounta. Ulrich Stern: It knows Ulrich is the best fighter and usually fights by outnumbering him on Lyoko. It once took over his body when his mind was separated from it to attack the Core of Lyoko. William Dunbar: X.A.N.A. noticed that William has the most strength and potential out of the Lyoko Warriors. It immediately used the Scyphozoa to possess him on his first trip to Lyoko and made him its most dangerous minion in the last season. Even after he was freed, X.A.N.A. tried to manipulate him into rejoining its side in Evolution, showing it values his potential as a warrior and worthy asset. Franz Hopper He is the enemy X.A.N.A. fears the most, being the one who created X.A.N.A. and Lyoko and having a greater understanding of how to counter and destroy it, also because he is the reason the team keeps recovering from its most devastating attacks. It considers him an even bigger threat than the Lyoko Warriors, so much that it was willing to spare Aelita and the team from a disaster because the former is vital to draw him out of hiding. X.A.N.A. is aware that Franz Hopper and the Lyoko Warriors working together can surely bring about its destruction.

X.A.N.A. Powers and Abilities

X.A.N.A. powers and Abilities X.A.N.A. is an extremely intelligent and powerful multi-agent system that has infected the Supercomputer that holds Lyoko and exploits its capabilities. It was initially bound to the machine, until it escaped into the network after stealing the Keys to Lyoko, which also lets it build Replikas in other infected supercomputers. Its capabilities are listed below: Tower Control Tour carthage-1- X.A.N.A. activating a tower. X.A.N.A. activates Towers, known by pulsations, to act in the real world. It can only be stopped by deactivating them. With Towers, X.A.N.A. can take over networks or manifest specters from its multi-agent system, which are ghostly extensions that let it interact with the real world. On Earth, it can hack networks, control electromagnetic phenomena, and possess any targets (electronics, natural elements, inanimate objects, animals, etc.) like a virus to manipulate at will to attack on Earth. After evolving further, X.A.N.A. can take over humans or manifest polymorphic specters to follow its orders as pixelized vessels with its spectral and electrical powers. Only Lyoko Warriors cannot be controlled because being virtualized to Lyoko gives them resistance. Its vessels return to normal or disappear when their Towers deactivate, and victims do not remember what happened. Also, X.A.N.A. can activate Towers to materialize or teleport minions to Earth through Scanners or Replikas, control technology it has built, or show visions through a psychic link. Monsters & Programs XANA Monsters X.A.N.A.'s monsters On Lyoko, X.A.N.A. virtualizes deadly monsters to fight enemies and attack targets, and the Scyphozoa to steal memory or possess warriors on Lyoko. It can also alter environments, create virtual prisons, plant bugs or viruses, manipulate vulnerable warriors, program weapons and vehicles, etc. Using its vast Replika network, X.A.N.A. can virtualize the Kolossus, its most powerful monster and ultimate weapon to use on virtual worlds. Technology X.A.N.A.'s computing intelligence allows it to build advanced technology in the real world through use of possessed humans or automated facilities. These include many types of robots, mind control necklace, shield generators, etc.

X.A.N.A. biography

Origin X.A.N.A. was created by a computer scientist named Waldo Schaeffer, who later changed his name to Franz Hopper in order to hide his identity from his enemies, to destroy Project Carthage. Despite trying to cover his tracks, his enemies learned of his activities and pursue him. To escape them, he uses time reversions to give him the time needed to turn his Lyoko project into safe place to live. Consequently, this caused X.A.N.A. to evolve until it becomes self-aware. Once Franz Hopper and his daughter were virtualized, it rebels against them by trapping them in Lyoko and trying to eliminate them. Franz tries to reason with X.A.N.A. but it has grown too powerful and become a threat to mankind, forcing him to shut down the Supercomputer. Awakening 18 evil crazy wires X.A.N.A. controlling cables. X.A.N.A. was reawakened when Jeremie reactivates the Supercomputer, discovering Aelita and Lyoko. It sends monsters after Aelita and activates a Tower to attack with electricity and machines, then manifests a lightning specter after those involved with Lyoko. Jeremie sends Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi to Lyoko to deactivate the Tower and he continues work on Aelita's materialization, knowing how to neutralize X.A.N.A, officially becoming the Lyoko Warriors.

X.A.N.A. biography (2)

using a specter to launch an attack. While Jeremie works on materialization, X.A.N.A. relentlessly attacks its enemies and threatens humanity by using Towers to hack networks, affect machines, generate electrical phenomena, or manifest specters to possess and control targets with its virus, while guarding its Towers with monsters and virtual traps on Lyoko. The group continue fighting X.A.N.A. at this time, thwarting its attacks at every turn and fixing the damage caused with time reversions. When the heroes finally manage to materialize Aelita with Code: Earth, X.A.N.A. stole her memories of her life on Earth to bind her fate to the Supercomputer, putting her into a lethal coma when the team shut the machine down, which ensures X.A.N.A.'s survival for now. Growing Power New Order Charge up lasers image 1 X.A.N.A.'s new monster. X.A.N.A. is somehow evolving and gaining more power, creating new monsters on Lyoko, displayed by the Tarantulas. It sends one of them which successfully defeats all three warriors, but they manage to outwit two of them guarding an activated Tower and thwart X.A.N.A.'s latest attack. The heroes discover the Hermitage, which is owned by the mysterious Franz Hopper. Later, the group discovers a fifth sector on Lyoko, which is where X.A.N.A. lives and all its data can be accessed, but it guards the place with Creeper and Manta monsters, and trap mechanisms linked to a countdown procedure. The team regularly venture there to mine through X.A.N.A.'s own data relating to the virus tying Aelita to X.A.N.A. with the hope of freeing her. Unchartered Territory Ulrich sees the Scyphozoa image 2 The Scyphozoa stealing Aelita's memory. X.A.N.A. develops greater objectives as its power grows. While still fighting the heroes, it wants to acquire the Keys to Lyoko inside Aelita's memory to gain access to the world network. To that end, X.A.N.A. creates the Scyphozoa to extract digital memory from anything and its attacks now focus on luring Aelita to Lyoko for its monster to capture her without interference. Until X.A.N.A. gets the keys, it has to be careful to keep her alive no matter what. The group discovers that the returns to the past are making X.A.N.A. stronger, confirmed when it took control of the function to repeat the same day until it can possess humans, making them pixelized, empowered agents to complete its tasks on Earth, like simply attacking the team or kidnapping Aelita to send to Lyoko. However, X.A.N.A. cannot possess Lyoko Warriors, since it could only control Jeremie to destroy the newly discovered diary of Franz Hopper, who copied the data beforehand and got virtualized to prevent further possessions. X.A.N.A. and the heroes aid each other out of necessity on two occasions. When Jeremie created the Marabounta and went out of control, it sends monsters to protect Aelita and help the team destroy it, both to save itself and keep Aelita's memory intact.

X.A.N.A. biography (3)

Then, when the Supercomputer's nuclear battery fails, putting it and Aelita at risk of dying, X.A.N.A. possesses a criminal to steal another and kidnaps Jeremie to make him change the battery, since they both have an interest in keeping the machine online. Once he puts in the battery, X.A.N.A.'s pawn tries to kill him and fails. Clone polymorph A polymorphic specter. As more proof of its growing power. X.A.N.A. can manifest polymorphic specters, ghosts with pixelized abilities that appear as clones of people or shapeshifters that transform at will. Since it cannot control Lyoko Warriors, this allows X.A.N.A. to use their identities to deceive them, ambush them on Lyoko, or impersonate Franz Hopper to gain their trust. It can also send Mantas to fight the team in other sectors. Later, the real Franz Hopper contacts the group and helps decrypt his diary, despite X.A.N.A.'s efforts to stop him in the former or steal their data in the latter. Following the decryption, the information reveals that Franz Hopper created X.A.N.A. and Lyoko, but also that Aelita is his daughter and he virtualized her to Lyoko along with himself. The Key - X.A.N.A X.A.N.A. frees itself from the Supercomputer in The Key. Jeremie also learns from the diary what X.A.N.A. seeks within Aelita's memory and that she doesn't have a virus, but a missing fragment. X.A.N.A. uses a fake to lure the heroes into a trap that devirtualizes her allies and allows the Scyphozoa to successfully steal her memory and the Keys to Lyoko, giving X.A.N.A. everything it needs to escape the Supercomputer. Aelita was left behind lifeless, but Franz Hopper restores her to life and the missing part of herself: the memories of her former life on Earth, at last making her fully human. However, X.A.N.A. is no longer confined to the Supercomputer, making it more dangerous than ever. Targeting Lyoko Coreoflyoko X.A.N.A.'s monsters attacking the Core of Lyoko. X.A.N.A.'s multi-agent system has now expanded to the world network. It hasn't attacked the heroes since it freed itself, thinking it is beyond their reach. When Jeremie upgrades the Superscan to find X.A.N.A, it responds by sending monsters to attack the Core of Lyoko to wipe out the virtual world, intending to keep the heroes from discovering its network schemes.

X.A.N.A. biography (4)

The group stops its assault in the end. Codexana X.A.N.A.'s code being entered Having no more need for the Supercomputer, X.A.N.A. is free to attack Lyoko itself, since without the virtual world, the team will be powerless to fight. To do this, it targets the Core of Lyoko in the virtual world with monster attacks while distracting the team or attacking the Supercomputer directly using possessed humans and other methods. Additionally, X.A.N.A. also destroys all of Lyoko's surface sectors by using the Scyphozoa to possess Aelita with its virus code and make her input the code into Way Towers, allowing X.A.N.A. to erase the corresponding sectors completely. Its reason for doing this is to make the Transport Orb inaccessible to the team. It succeeds in the order of Forest, Desert, Ice, and Mountain, but Jeremie finds a way to virtualize the team directly to Sector 5. Xanapossessedwilliam X.A.N.A. transforming William Initially reluctant, the team decides to recruit William Dunbar. However, he gets careless during his first time on Lyoko, which allows X.A.N.A. to possess him with the Scyphozoa. It puts William at the head of a Creeper army focused on the Core of Lyoko, who quickly destroy its shields with their combined firepower. When the warriors arrive, he quickly defeats them all and destroys the Core himself, wiping out Lyoko and rendering the team unable to fight X.A.N.A. now. William was left in the digital void in the aftermath, but X.A.N.A. captures and transforms him into its permanent slave. World Domination Plans 12 hello handsome X.A.N.A.'s newest minion Through a message sent by Franz Hopper, Jeremie recreates Lyoko. Soon after they do, X.A.N.A. sends William to the real world from the Scanners to capture Aelita and throw her into the Digital Sea. The group saves her and defeats William, but know he is an agent of X.A.N.A. now. X.A.N.A. has made William its most dangerous weapon. It has turned him into an enhanced fighter that is more than a match for any warrior, lets him command monsters, and created the Black Manta for him to summon and ride. He also has a copy of the Keys to Lyoko, allowing him to influence or deactivate Towers like Aelita. Finally, X.A.N.A. can materialize him from the Scanners as a pixelized human without using a Tower for missions on Earth. Replika 1 A X.A.N.A. Replika While X.A.N.A. is still determined to destroy the Lyoko Warriors and the Supercomputer, it also targets Franz Hopper, who hides in the network. It deems him the real threat, since he's the reason the team always recovers and knows both of them working together would present the ultimate danger. It tries to throw Aelita into the Digital Sea to draw him out of hiding, then have its minions attack him, knowing he would do anything to save his daughter.

William's return as an ally

After X.A.N.A. returned Willam joined the lyoko warriors as an full fledge ally, only going to lyoko if the gang needs the extra help, to avoid being possessed by X.A.N.A. again.
