;Charles di Britannia's Geass

:Though the exact nature of his Geass is unknown, the [[Charles di Britannia|Emperor of Britannia]] possesses the apparent ability to freely alter an individual's memories at will; he may also seal the ability of another Geass user. Geass sigils light up in both eyes when he uses it. The influence of this ability may be cancelled by C.C.<ref name="s2ep3" /><ref name="novel6" />

;Rolo's Geass

{{main|Rolo Lamperouge}}

:Rolo's Geass grants him the ability to temporarily suspend the [[Sense of time|subjective experience of time]] for all individuals within a given sphere of influence, effectively paralyzing anyone within its area of effect. The ability does not require eye contact, and can be used on the same person more than once. Its range is set on each use, with no presently known absolute maximum, and it can be used repeatedly with no apparent trouble. However, each use appears to last for only five seconds. Despite gaining his ability at the age of six, and having made quite liberal use of it over the following decade, Rolo does not have the same constant activation problem as Lelouch and Mao.<ref name="novel6" /> A Geass sigil appears in his right eye when he uses it.

;Jeremiah's Geass Canceller

:An anti-Geass power given to [[Jeremiah Gottwald]] by V.V., Jeremiah'sthe Geass Canceler manifests in his left eye and is represented by an inverted blue version of the Geass sigil. It cancel out the effects of all other Geass within a given range.<ref name="s2ep12" />

The E.U. apparently organizes their military into left-wing and right-wing camps, and their forces are drawn from [[National Guard]]-style units from a member nation (i.e. the German National Guard, the Italian National Guard and the Dutch Engineering Corps).
