Bien, je vous présente donc ma traduction de la page de William xanatifié. Je me doute qu'il y aura des tournures lourdes, des répétitions et du vocabulaire louche, mais bon, personne n'est parfait o/
Pour les citations, j'ai essayé de les retrouver moi-même d'après les épisodes histoire d'exercer mon oreille, j'ai donc mélangé compréhension orale et....remplissage de phrases à trous? XD
Certaines risquent donc d'être fausses, mea culpa.

#66 William returns
The biggest problem with William’s disappearing is his family and the school. In the college, Jeremy solves it calling the principal pretending to be William father’s, then creates a clone of him.
But the trick is nearly discovered in the episode 93 «Down to earth », but fortunately, the true William came back in time.
Powers and skills
« Supersmoke ! »
William’s got a lot of powers.
His first power is levitation. When he does it, he’s an (aura) and fly in the air. In the episode 65 “Final Round “ he uses it to destroy Lyoko’s core. He might be using it to bring back his sword to him in the episode 74 “I’d rather not talk about this!”.
In the episode 67 « Double take » he uses levitation too to control the tower activated by Jeremy. It looks like he is able to do it, but XANA proved a lot of times that he didn’t need anyone to do it itself, so it’s not sure.
In the 65, fans think he uses a kind of Supersprint to devirtualize Ulrich. There is something like a purple trace behind him, but it is impossible to say what is it : maybe he can’t be as fast as Ulrich with this, and he won’t use it anymore. That must be because he got the Supersmoke.
Let’s talk about this Supersmoke!
It the most complete power of the serie. It has good points used in attack, defense, strategy and even with the weapon of William! (with the Supersmoke, he is able to turn himself and his sword into a black smoke, or he can use a little cloud of it)
He can use it to throw somebody to the ground in attack (Episode 68 “Opening Act “) and to knock out, throwing a powerful smoke to the target. It can be used to make somebody fall from a vehicle (like Aelita in the 69 “Wreck Room “). Almost everytime used on Aelita, the smoke can make a body move (use on unmoving bodies is better). William uses it to transport Aelita to the digital sea and throw her into it, from the episode 66 “William Returns” to lately in the serie.). In the episode 85 “ Kadic’s bombshell “, William even uses this power to thrown Aelita against rocks of the Mountain Sector to be sure she won’t escape.
William can turn himself into smoke. As this, he flies like a cloudy bawl and is able to be very fast…that is very useful because XANA’s lieutenant has a lot of work to do. He can even be faster than vehicles and flying Aelita (Episode 84 “ Guided Missile”) and so he can reach towers before she arrives.
Used in strategy, it is able to prevent William from falls and digital sea. During fight, it is used to escape a complicated situation and surprise the heroes appearing in their back.
He also uses Supersmoke to materialize himself in the air and fall on the target, hitting hardly with his weapon (Episode 89 : “Music shoots the savage beast“)
To conclude, his sword is also able to turn into smoke. William is able to make it disappear and don’t have to carry his heavy weapon while he is running. He make it disappear and appear when it is trapped somewhere, and that happens a lot of times because it is heavy and William controlled by XANA is really strong.
In the episode 78 «Laboratory Mouse », William uses Supersmoke in order to destroy Yumi’s weapons.
He also uses it to protect himself against digital sea when he returns to it.
Beside Supersmoke, William has two others way to attack :
First, he is able to charge energy in his sword and to throw it at his target in a powerful and fast movement. This power is fast and deadly : in one shot, it can devirtualize a Lyoko-warrior or his vehicle. In the episode 65, when the heroes fight William, he destroys them using this power and surprise effect. The heroes aren’t able to fight back to this attack for a long time. It is a “one hit one kill” attack. Ulrich tries to stop it in the 65, but his weapon is destroyed. The only thing capable of stopping the energy is Aelita’s power. It is also possible to avoid the shot, but it is very fast.
Secondly, William is very strong. He is able to use his heavy equipment (cf following box) without problems. As an example, in the episode 69 « Wreck Room”, he blows up a rock that Yumi threw him with his sword. Thanks to this, he can also hit the heroes with a fist or a foot, and it is useful when he lost his weapon. When he is translated in the episode 92 “ Cold Sweat“, he managed to knock out Odd translated with a foot-hit, even if he was powerful .
It is also possible to remember his incredible jump from the top to the bottom of the Core of Lyoko’s room, during the episode 65 : although the heroes has already lost life points for less high jumps, William doesn’t lose any and leaves a mark where he landed.
William seems to have a kind of “second view” on Lyoko. It is seen in the episode 68 « Opening part » when, after destroying Yumi, he manages to see Aelita who was really far from him. It can me though that he uses it in other moments, like in the episode 67, when he manages to find out the true Ulrich using Triplicate.
There is an important question to solve : Are these powers William’s or did XANA gave them to him ?
He must have some powers on his own, but was too shortly on the battlefield to discover them, and XANA must have given him others, like the energy shot that he can throw.
Otherwise, William-XANA became the Replika’s guardian, as Aelita is with Lyoko. When he connects himself to a tower of the Replika activated by Jeremy, he is able to use the “XANA code”, which make the tower come back to XANA, and so the translations and Skid’s link are stopped. I happened just one time, during the episode 78 “Laboratory mouse”
The last ability of William doesn’t have any link with fight.
When he loses a fight and is “devirtualized”, William doesn’t come back to real world. He becomes a black and red smoke and disappears, but is still virtual. The scenarists have said that he came back to Digital Sea.
Vehicle, weapons and equipment
« Do you think I am afraid of this pie server ? »
#85 Kadic’s bombshell
William doesn’t have vehicle on virtual worlds because Supersmoke is better in all points, but he sometimes rides a Black Manta that XANA gave him.
This Manta is just giving William the ability of fighting in the air, it doesn’t look stronger than another Manta.
In the web, William drives a ship called the Rorkal. It looks like a crossover between the Skidbladnir and the navskids. With this ship, William is able to fight the heroes even in Digital Sea, side by side with his faithful monsters. The Rorkal is biggest than the navskids, and is also able to fire rockets. When it is destructed, it come back later, without effect on William, which is logic because when William is destroyed, he goes back to Digital Sea.
Note : The name “Rorkal” hasn’t be said in the serie, but it comes from documents given by Moonscoop about fourth season.
XANA’s soldier has also a good equipment.
His sword has been decorated according to XANA’s choose. As explained, it is able to turn into smoke and send shockwaves. Nearly all it’s shots are deadly, but there are some exceptions (like Odd in the episode 73 « Réplika »). William can even throw it (Episode 86 « Canine Conundrum ») But the sword is heavy and it is hard to shot a target like this. Moreover, it can trap itself in the ground and become hard to free. The heroes, even when they are losing, can earn time avoiding William’s hit. In episode 80 “Kiwodd”, an energy field from Aelita is absorbed by the sword’s eye, and then, William threw a pink wave back to the girl. This using was an unique and quite mysterious situation.
William has also a protection armband with spikes that he uses to stop powerful shots.
About pure strength, William is the best virtual warrior with his sword and armband, but he is also very technical in fight : even if he is always alone, he can beat all the team of Lyoko warrior and has lost only a fiew fights.
His part in the serie
« Not everybody...but one day, we’ll bring you back, William. »
#77 Lost at Sea
Code Lyoko’s big lack is the missing of a material enemy.
In a lot of popular series, there is an evil and outstanding character who bring success to the serie. Liked or not, beautiful or not, vicious or not, the principal enemy is always something important. Even if XANA is as good as them, it appears very rarely, because it is symbolized by XANA’s eye. This is a good point (because a lot of fans tried to imagine what it could look like) but also a little bad point. With William, this bad point is corrected.
Thanks to his durable xanatification, William becomes XANA’s slave but also a kind of incarnation. Monsters don’t show a lot of emotions, so William’s smiles, sentences and angriness seem to come from XANA. In that way, there is a bad guy that we can see in the serie...
William has all qualities of a good villain : Powerful, fast, impulsive, undefeated in the beginning, dark…,
William gives something to the episodes ; this moment where we ask ourselves “When will he come to scare the heroes?”... and “How are they going to win this time?”
There is also a double advantage for the serie’s fights with William’s coming :
First, missions on Lyoko become more difficult. In fact, before Lyoko’s destruction, the heroes were so powerful that the missions become boring. Remembering the Tarentula of the episode 27 « New Order » which defeated alone the three heroes... and the same monster, four against one, destroyed by Odd in the episode 54 «Lyoko minus One ». With the new costumes and the advantages coming with (a second sabre for Ulrich, Aelita’s wings etc...), XANA had to react quickly. Their big defeat in the 65 gives a preview of the events coming : now, the Lyoko-warriors will have some problems. Of course, fighting with William, the heroes become also more powerful, but that makes season 4 be in constant evolution.
William’s coming in darkness army also changes the serie’s fighting style.
From the beginning, the heroes have just fought some monsters. There were some upgrades(the vehicles, Tarentulas) to make fights be more interesting, but theses became repetitive. A few monsters had good ideas in the season 3 (Megatank firing horizontally ) but the challenge wasn’t here. Fights between people looking human was rare in Code Lyoko, but they are a very nice way to innovate : everybody remembers the episode 51 « Revelation » as THE episode were Ulrich defeat his evil clone. Fights to stop dark-Aelita were also very good fights to remember.
With William’s xanatification, that kind of fights is going to be more present : more fights between humans, two against one or man to man... and as we told, William is able to defeat the Lyoko-warriors.
To conclude, this xanatification has also an impact on the heroes’s objectives and on the the way XANA makes his plans.
Personality
« He always come and mess everything up… »
#92 Cold Sweat
William is a strange xanatified.
In the beginning, he is like the other : his eyes have the XANA’s eye, he doesn’t speak but only laugh and make strange noises.
But after the destruction of Lyoko, William changes, not only his virtual aspect but also his behaving.
William is able to show all the emotions from satisfaction to angriness, with fear, surprise, deception, happiness... He often laugh.
The big difference is that William can speak. He shows impatience and threats in his sentences, and also provocation and self-confidence. In the episode 85 « Kadic Bombshell »,learning that the materialization program is down, he said that he is going to « get three birds with one shot ». He is also very mocking, for example when he tells Aelita « You wanna leave? I guess » just before throwing her into Digital Sea (Episode 82 « Distant Memory »). He can also be ironical in the episode 86 « Canine conundrum » when he laughs at Aelita who devirtualized Odd accidentally. Most of the time, the speaks to Aelita and Yumi, a few to Ulrich and almost never to Odd.
William is able to speak with his true voice, not the metallic one of the xanatified. He used it against the heroes twice (Episode 66 « William Returns » et 69 « Wreck Room»). This shows also that he is able to trick, like in others situations : In the episode 76, he waits for Yumi into the tower.
But William is an aggressive character, he often attack the heroes without strategy. He is most of the time in a leader position, in front of the monsters he commands.
To conclude, William is rational. If the monsters fight to death, William can sometimes run away when he loses the battle (Episode 68 “Opening part”) or when he is one against a lot (Episode 73 “Replika”).

#76 The lake
That isn’t an adapted subject to a XANA-warrior, but which let us look at an important episode to understand XANA-William’s character : the episode 76 “The Lake”.
Everybody knows that the true William loves Yumi.
Durant the episode 76, while they are fighting on Ice Sector, he is about to devirtualize Yumi. Then, she speak to him, telling him that he is a Lyoko-warrior and that he swore to keep the secret too.
This evocation seems to wake the true William up, and he fights the influence of XANA in his mind. He is surrounded by flash backs and seems to win for one or two seconds, but XANA managed quickly to take back the control of the situation.
Histoire
« XANA’s finally about to have your company for good! »
# 85 Kadic Bombshell
William is a character who is going to have a scenarist importance almost equivalent to Aelita’s (that’s not nothing). It is often said that he is the character who has evolved the most during the serie. He came to be an outsider to Ulrich in his relationship with Yumi, started to become a precious help for the heroes, and then, he became a new Lyoko-warrior and XANA’s slave.
The program uses him as an help to reach his objectives in virtual worlds.
Remember that after Lyoko’s destruction, XANA decided to kill Franz Hopper, but he is hidden in Digital Sea. XANA’s plan is to throw Aelita into Digital Sea to make Franz Hopper go out in order to save his daughter. This is William’s principal objective. The first try is in episode 66, where XANA send back William to earth to bring Aelita on Lyoko and, hopefully, in Digital Sea. He misses this time, but will try again and again, and nearly manages to kill Franz Hopper in the episode 82 “Distant Memory”.
William has also the habitual “chores” to do : protect the activated towers(Episode 72 “Crash course”), and try to destroy the supercomputer (Episode 81 « A lack of goodwill»).
William is also involved in XANA’s second objective. The program infested others supercomputer all around the world to create Replikas. Using the energy of these Replikas, it is creating an army of robots.
William protects these Replikas. He can fight the heroes when they go in or attack the Replika (Episode 73 « Replika »). He can also enter a tower with the Skid docked (to launch the translation) and use the code XANA. The tower passes under control of XANA and the Skid can’t cling at the tower and the translation is interrupted (Episode 78 « Laboratory mouse »).
William will also defend the supercomputer in real world, when XANA translated him (Episode 92 « Cold Sweat »).
He came twice in the web to fight the heroes with his monsters, but doesn’t have a lot of success (Episode 77 « Lost at Sea » & 86 « Canine Conundrum »).
William’s xanatification gave a new objective to the heroes : they have to destroy XANA, look for Franz Hopper but also save William, now…
Jeremy tries a first time with a program in the episode 69 « Wreck Room »... but it is a miss. And then , XANA makes a mistake that give them the solution. When it translated William using a tower, it stored important data about William in, and Aelita was able to steal it. Then, Jeremy is able to create a program to bring back William. After a long fight on Ice Replika, William loses and come back to Earth.
