Geass R2 13
Oh god. No. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
WHY SUNRISE? WHY?!!!! IS THIS HOW YOU MAKE UP FOR THE CRAPPY PAST FEW EPISODES? WHY SHIRLEY?!!! WHY?!!!!!!!!!!
Shirley gets her memories back, wonders what to do, calls Suzaku out but meets Lelou as well, finds out Lelou is alone, decides to act on her love and gets killed in the end. Dammit, Sunrise. You just HAD to kill her off. Shirley was such a good girl, but she always get the short end of the stick. Sigh. It’s just so sad… even till the end, she loved Lelou so much that she would still love him even if she was reborn. Goddammit Rolo! GOD DAMN YOU, YOU GAY BASTARD!
*sniff* *sniff* Moving on… Orange-kun went to Lelouch’s side as well! That was just so unexpected there, but it was nicely done at the least. It’s really funny though that all his actions in the past were actually due to his loyalty towards Queen Marianne! Still, Lelouch just got a really powerful ally there now with that Geass Canceller, but it’s just… really unexpected. It is kinda LULZ that Orange-kun is now on the side of the guy who made him that way. But in a way, it’s a bit tragic as well I guess, since he was fighting all this while to atone for this failure to protect the person he admired the most, and later her son caused him all that pain as well. I’d say it’s a nice graduation from “comedy character” to “tragic character” for Orange-kun here.
Overall, I’m quite happy with this episode as the series is finally started moving back towards the things I like the most about it, being the mysteries of the Geass, not to mention turning back more logical and planned, instead of the haphazard storytelling of the past few episodes. I guess the main writers came back from their holiday.
There’s also a new OP by FLOW, which isn’t too bad, but doesn’t seem to be really memorable either, as well as a new ED by ALI PROJECT with more awesome Geass art from CLAMP accompanying it. The OP hints of interesting things, such as upgraded mecha and also space settings, and as usual of Sunrise OP sequences go, it’s pretty much spoilerific. The ED has the usual crop of awesome CLAMP renderings of the characters, and my favorite has to be this one of Lelouch and C.C.
Next week; emo Lelouch, imprisoned Cornelia, more V.V and ninjas!

I can’t help it. I liked Shirley a lot. She just… fell in love with the wrong person. I’m quite a sucker for “good girl” characters like her I guess.
In a way, she really reminds me of Yamada from Honey & Clover. With that innocent personality and the tragic love life. Sigh…..

God damn it, Rolo, why must you do such crap? If your brother is in love with someone, the answer doesn’t lie in killing that person! Jesus Christ, if you really do love your brother than fucking let him live his life!
On the Jeremiah side, I half expected him to pull a “Ha-ha-I’m-just-faking” thing and grab Lelouch. Then again, the Picture Book + Preview of this episode kept me from being surprised at the outcome, since it was already established that he used to guard Marianne and all that. Luckily, with Jeremiah on the side of Lelouch, things will be more even. After all, dude has a Geass Canceller on top of a cyborg body. Then again, if Code Geass continues along the way it’s been going, the next episode will probably make Jeremiah virtually obsolete with V.V. bringing out some strange new shit. Perhaps a Geass that is invincible against the Geass Canceller.
Still, seems like Lelouch has evolved into Super Happy Relations Lelouch. Instead of simply manipulating people or getting the desperate to help him, he manages to pull people to his side with his gentleness. Or some kind of crap. Seeing as even Villetta chooses to stick with Lelouch, despite the fact that he initially blackmailed her into working for him, I’d say that Lelouch has gained that special main character power of convincing virtually anybody to join his side. Granted, he lacks the idiocy and stupid smile that is the staple of the typical shounen male character, but then again, that’s an advantage. Tactical ability plus the power to make friends?
Epic new opening. Though the song isn’t that good, the images are quite awesomeness. Especially the part with Sayoko. Sayoko. Sayoko. Sayoko. Sayoko~. Martial arts, disguises, wit, cooking, looks and a maid uniform that can contain a great number of daggers. What else do you need in a woman?
So… V.V. is really the Emperor’s brother? It says that the official website declares him to be his twin sibling in Wikipedia, and seeing as the dude refers to himself as Cornelia’s uncle…
The Shinkiro’s modified Druid System, taken from the Gawain, can see oncoming enemy attacks and move its MSV shields in order to nullify them, but can it see why children love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
… I thought not.

I´ve disliked Rolo from the beginning, now I know even more so why I hated him so much. Damn idiot. Damn jealous freaking emotionally unstable freaking lying piece of…

You know, I’ve been drifting more towards liking kallen as a match for Lelouche this season, but I still held a very soft spot in my heart for Shirley. She was really too normal and innocent and GOOD for all this cloak and dagger stuff but… I was really hoping that she’d remain untouched, and somehow live a good life after all this, find someone who could treat her right, and now…
now she’s….
DAMN IT ROLO

My theory, Sunrise decided that Lelouch should be gay(for the fangirls) so whenever he gets close to a female that he actually has feelings for they have to make sure Rolo shows up to set things right.
Also, judging from Rolo’s reaction it would look to me that when Lulu finally saves Nanally, Rolo’s gonna show up to dispose of her.
Haesslich Said,
July 7, 2008 @ 5:49 am
So… Shirley dies, but Lulu gains another Merry Man/Black Knight sympathizer whose goals are similar to his own (avenge Marianne)? Not the best trade here, especially since now Lulu has ANOTHER reason to hate Suzaku (as does the audience) and it also gives him a ‘little sister’ character to go Shinn over.
…
Yeah, Sunrise and shopping episodes are bad, bad news. Almost like Macross with its pineapple salads.

Haesslich Said,
July 7, 2008 @ 8:58 am
>> Why is this Suzaku’s fault?
Because Suzaku handed Lulu over to the Emperor in the first place, who set Rolo onto Shirley, who overwrote Shirley’s memories to replace Nunally with Rolo, and then Rolo was the triggerman…but wouldn’t ever have been there in the first place if not for Suzaku’s turning Lulu in to get his Knights title in the first place.
So, ultimately, it all comes back to Suzaku. The HAPPY ending has Lulu and Suzaku dying in a Death Note sorta way… or maybe a Hamlet style ending where Nunally, Suzaku, Lulu, Rolo, Lloyd, Kallen, C.C. and every one of the main cast kick the bucket in a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.

im sure lulu will blame suzaku since he left him to defend her. he may even see it as suzaku getting back at him for killing euphy. but if theres any surveillence cams im sure lulu will see who killed her but i doubt things will go that conveniently
in all likelihood based on the preview they’re probably not gonna dwell into who killed her anytime soon.

After Shirley didn’t appear in the new OP, I knew she wasn’t gonna survive (and after she uttered Nunally’s name to Rollo, I said my goodbyes), its just like the 3rd Op of Gundam Seed and Nicole; of course it happened a lot faster here. Of course I’m sad (couldn’t finish my breakfast after that scene) at her death as I did like her and she narrowly was my first choice for Lelouch’s “significant other”.
And of course Rolo is now on my “I wanna see die very badly” list, but although its 99% chance that he did kill her, this show has a knack of unexpected twists so could we see another one? Unlikely but always possible.

Fuck, I still raged even though I already knew that Shirley was going to die, thanks to some spoilers circulating around discussion boards. By the way, some of you already mentioned it, but Rollo might not be the one who killed her. There must probably be a reason why they don’t show her getting killed. (Or perhaps Sunrise wants us viewers to doubt something obvious, well you see what I mean. That would be a bit far-fetched though.)
As for Jeremiah, I can’t bring myself to trust him completely. I still tend to think he’s sincere about siding with Lulu though, since he could have hurt/killed Lulu easily when the trap was disabled (which for a moment I thought would happen).
Now I want to see Lelouch rage as much as I do and go berserk on whoever did that to poor Shirley.
semtex Said,
July 7, 2008 @ 6:41 pm
Oh why oh why? After all that pain and agony she has gone through, and she finally found happiness and decided to help Lulu. Shirley was such a nice girl that didn’t deserve to die that way, at least her last moments was in the arms of the one she loves.

I agree with some of you guys, I liked Shirley too. I’m not entirely surprised by what happened though.
It had to have been Rolo, it definitely showed him turn on his Geass when she was talking to him. Not to mention how they already established that he would kill intelligence division agents over the smallest things (in early episodes) and the “threat” of Shirley holding a gun.
@FX102 and Matt – I don’t think he can reveal himself to the world yet. He’s definitely had the forces to protect himself for a long time now, but the only reason he’s Zero is to hide his dark side from Nunnally right? Open war would pretty much ruin the point of it all.
Not to mention the whole “Black Knights are champions of justice for the downtrodden” thing loses public credibility if he shows that the war is just for personal vendetta within the Brittanian royal family.
Kinny Riddle Said,
July 7, 2008 @ 10:40 pm
RIP Shirley. It was either she joined the Black Knights or she had to leave the mortal coil, and it is deemed the latter is less cheesy.
Anyway, Kuro, you made yet another mistake in writing a blog post, I’m afraid.
Whenever an important character dies, you CAN cry out loud “NOOOOO” but please DON’T put the screencap right smack there on the top where everyone, including those who’ve not seen the ep (luckily I have though) would see it. Instead, have a link (with disclaimer that says “MASSIVE SPOILER” or whatever, and then put the screenshots inside.
Now Orange coming overboard is unexpected to say the least. From comedic villain to tragic hero. I place 50 bucks that he die a heroic death befitting of his “Orange” nickname, like drowning with his opponents in a giant pool of orange juice.
Come to think of it, Cornelia! That’s your uncle you’ve just stabbed in the forehead, lol!

I’m sorry if you’re offended, Kinny, but I write my blog with the expectations that my readers HAVE watched it already, especially with popular shows like Geass and <insert Sunrise title here>.
In fact, I wrote this post 2 hours after gg released the sub, and I was actually watching it subbed, not as if I streamed it via Keyhole and then started spamming all the forums mid-episode with the spoilers.
In fact, when the subs are out, I pretty much consider it not spoilers anymore.

Just think of it as some “friendly advice” if you will. Nobody here wants to see you get flamed for ruining their day unintentionally when you’ve done such great work with this blog.
It’s all to do with being considerate and taking precautions, really, so they can have no excuse of blaming you for no reason.
Take me for example, I only saw episode today after a long hard day’s work, since when gg released their ep yesterday, it was already quite late at night. (Not to mention there’s a nerve-wracking Wimbledon final to watch as well. ) I purposely avoided all forums and blogs until I’ve watched it.
Just me 2 cents, mate.

Point taken, but then, DM got spoiled during Cosfest anyways.
I’d rather cut straight to the point really, but seriously, all this “no-spoiling” worries won’t last for a week. After the second day, no one really cares anymore, since they’ve all known already.
I would say, if you didn’t want to get spoiled, fully avoid all the blogs, forums, IRC channels, etc until you’ve watched it. A good way to do that is to immerse yourself in Diablo II, like what I was doing while waiting for the raw for this episode to download. Hell, I even seeded it an extra two hours.
FX102 Said,
July 8, 2008 @ 5:10 am
You know, I was reading some other comments on another blog and someone put forward a highly unlikely yet interesting point.
Imagine if it wasn’t Rollo, but the only other person in the building at the time that shot Shirley. Again, it is extremely unlikely that he killed her seeing as he was her friend and all during his time at Ashford, but if he had overheard her intention to join Lelouch’s cause and in a slight twist of insanity, decided to do to Lelouch exactly what he did to him by taking away someone he cared for.
On top of that, it would make the final battle between these two former friends all the more intense as both will literally be screaming for each others’ head (my favourite type of battle).

I doubt that Suzaku would have done such a thing; in fact, in one way or another, I bet he’ll blame Lelouch for Shirley’s death. After all, Shirley practically told him that she had recovered her memories with her “I still like him so you should forgive him” speech. He’s probably go through the thought process of “Shirley remembers the past -> Lelouch / Zero realizes that Shirley knows who he is -> Lelouch / Zero gets rid of Shirley in order to keep his identity secret”. Or something like that.
Much as I hate Suzaku, I wouldn’t think that he’d have the kind of stomach for such a thing. Nunally hostage thing aside (which technically isn’t his doing, seeing as Nunna-chan volunteered to go to Japan and Suzaku always intended to return to Japan), Suzaku’s bound by his sense of honor and dignity and all that crap that a typical justice character has. The only exception is when it involves Zero / Lelouch, but seeing as Zero / Lelouch Geassed (albeit unintentionally) and killed (albeit unwillingly) Euphemia, his hatred and hypocrisy is understandable (albeit… well albeit nothing).
Still don’t like the fucker, though.
manga Said,
July 8, 2008 @ 8:41 am
I wonder how people get the idea that someone else than Rolo killed Shirley.
It´s as always and as his undeniable freaking stupid head. As soon as someone mentions keywords like geass, Nunnaly they are killed if Rolo is alone. Switching his geass on, stalling their time and then killing them.
The big question though is why he choose such a way that torments Shirley in regard to his earlier kills with one shot one instant kill.
Oh well, May God or just somebody kill of Rolo as soon as possible with Lelouch standing over him with a hellish smile and whispering: you freaking fake brother, this is what you get!
Rhodes Said,
July 8, 2008 @ 10:10 am
All we saw was Rolo activating his Geass… we didnt see who shot Shirley.
Also Suzaku went into the building as well…
If it was to mirror the loss Suzaku had… he would need to kill Shirley and then they can both forgive each other or not.
Or Suzaku over heard em and a fight broke out and Shirley got shot by Rolo by accident. Course that doesnt explain why Rolo’s Geass didnt work to freeze em, unless Orange’s cancelor abilities was on.
We wont know for sure till the next few episodes… I doubt it will be kept a secret for long.
liathgirl Said,
July 8, 2008 @ 12:15 pm
Okay, I understand the ‘hate-on-Rolo’ motif going on here, but lets get back to the real bad guy – The Emperor and his Lap-dog Suzaku.
I don’t think Lelou has changed, not in the way everyone else is thinking – Sure he’s not the manipulating ass we came to know (and Love) in the first season, as a matter of fact, I’d say he’s back to normal thanks in large part to his little talk with Shirley and Kallen. Lelou still wants revenge for his mother’s death, I mean who wouldn’t want revenge after all that’s happened to him? His father just threw them away like they were yesterday’s shit bag. But, on a much broader side, Lelou (the one from the first few episodes before he killed Shirley’s dad) has returned. He’s the same kind, gentle Lelou that drew people to him in the first place. Suzaku is the only one who has changed, in an odd twist he no longer cares about Lelou in the same way he did before Euphy was killed. I think that Shirley’s words, like the words she said to Lelou when he called her to ask her about Love, will eventually change Suzaku as well. Maybe then I can stop hating on the ass.
And if not – well don’t worry, I have a remarkable ability to write very painful Fan-fics. >:D Suzaku won’t stand a chance, that inhumane ass!

FX102:
jajaja I guess thats me… Ive been posting in other blogs my theory… but people blows me up jejeje…
But Im still have huge doubts about Rollo killing Shirley… and my reason for it is that is too obvious it was Rollo, I mean he´s innocent (as innocent as he can be after killing all that people) because he is guilty… further chaps would prove me wrong or right, ne? I think sunrise tricked us to think it was him, or maybe sunrise tricked us to think that it was not him, but it was him… a bit tangled…
Then remeber that Rollo somehow was a friend… well sort of, to Shirley to, he wasnt just with Lelouch but with all the student council… i dont have doubts that if Rollo sees Nunally he will shoot at her head right away without asking… but for other people I have my doubts… Try to understand him, he has been living without no one telling him what was bad or good, just living to kill with no one who cared for him, until he is assigned to guard Lelouch in the school and for a year he learns whats a family, when Lulu get his memories back he chose (thanks to Lulu manipulating) to keep that family, even risking his life… is obvious a brother complex… I dont think hes gay…
FX102 you gave me more reasons to feed my theory of being Suzaku, where was Suzaku? he is always annoyingly on time… and now that he is needed he dos not appears… then Suzaku too has mental issues… (he is a padricide for crying out loud!) he is capable of killing his friends when he loses his mind… all the people he killed to get to Zero for revenge, he almost killed Kallen (I know it was a fight, but Kallens Guren was disabled, he could just leave her there)… Ok too much speculation… (my mind goes crazy) but still I dont think it was Rollo… maybe Rollo knows who did it…
Magnius of the Chaos:
What happens next?? thats right, I think Suzaku would blame himself or blame Lelouch or both (its most likely)… the same goes to Lulu, this incident might burn up the fire between them or make them close again…
Lulu would be alone in the school, with the knights of rounds and Suzaku, just Rival so I guess well say bye bye to the Ashford episodes… (thanks god, I didnt liked ep. 12)…
But hey why the long faces, Shirley died, get over it… it was sooner or later but that was her fate… well see how is the student council going to take it, specially the three directly involved in the war… (Black King, Q-1 and White Knight)
What about the OP, to many hints ne? Kallen and Anya switching sides? the Guren with the same update as Lancelot? and in the preview a locked up Cornelia, a britanian dressed Kallen, a hand forcing another hand, a crazy VV and a fearful Rollo?

The way they focused on Roló´s face, the pendant and everything gives it away. As soon as someone mentions Nunally and if Lelouch isn´t there Rolo will go on a killing spree to stop people from trying to reunite Lelouch and Nunally. Since according to Rolo Nunally doesn´t exist and Lelouch is his only brother and that´s the way it should be.
Suzaku is an ass, but kill people he know and loves? You could try to tell Suzaku to kill Euphie and look at what his response is. And thinking about it, it is happening in Japan, where Suzaku is trying to change how the japanese and people are treated, do you honestly think he would go about and kill the people he´s sworn to protect? If it was Lelouch he had to kill as he know he had his memory back sure he would do it, but to a non-combatant like Shirley? No freaking way in hell. He´s still got the nice side to him.
From what we see Suzaku is standing OUTSIDE the building giving the police orders on how to deal with the situation, you NEVER see him going INSIDE the building like Shirley does.
So please, don´t try to have Suzaku do things he doesn´t have any part in. Not from this episode anyway… and no, I´m not defending him, but from what the episode shows he has nothing to do with Shirley´s death.
PrYuN: How can Shirley try and shoot someone when she doesn´t even have her finger on the trigger and the gun pointed downwards?
Please try to watch the episode and to not create OWN fantasies :p
