Turn 13: Rolo may be innocent. (With proof!)

[inulovinkit.livejournal.com]

When I first watched the episode, I thought something was fishy about Shirley's death scene.

At first, I thought they cut it off for the shock, but there was something else fishy about it. Wouldn't it have been MORE shocking if we actually saw Rolo knife her? We saw Euphie getting shot, after all.

And then, while watching, something hit me.

Rolo carries a knife. He uses his knife to usually kill people when he geasses them.

BUT:



That looks like a bullet hole to me.


Well, she did have a gun on her, so it IS possible Rolo used that, but also--




The gun was found IN HER HAND.



And WE SAW NOTHING. We didn't even see Rolo cast his Geass, but here are some interesting facts we DO know:

It appears Shirley was killed by a gun, not a knife.
Her gun was found in her hand.
We did not see what happened to Suzaku after he 'went in'. (Suspicious... >.>)


Now, I suppose it is possible that Rolo did have a gun on him and shot her. I actually don't care either way, I love Rolo and always will. BUT--after years of watching murder mysteries on TV, these little facts seem all too suspicious to me. And I kinda hope this is geass pulling another twist on us, because it would be awesome.

...Thoughts on my theory?



EDIT: Just to clarify:

I DON'T THINK IT WAS SUICIDE. I think that, if it wasn't Rolo, her death was an accident. An accident by the name of--

SUZAKU! *accusing finger here*

Well, we didn't see what happened after he went in, after all. He could have seen Rolo about to knife Shirley up, shot, and accidentally hit Shirley or something.

Meh--I just want it to be that way because it would be twisty and awesome and it would be like twisted revenge for Euphie--which is also awesome.

(Yeah, really, if Rolo did actually kill her, fine, but these little things make it fun to speculate >.>).



EDIT 2: Okay, I know highly unlikely that Suzaku did it. I just thought it was a fun crack theory. >.>

But I still think it's pretty possible Rolo didn't kill her.

lol fandom.

I'm pretty sure Rolo killed her. No one else was there and no other character would have the reason or motive to kill her at the moment. (There's no way Suzaku would have killed her; he was the one who ordered those soldiers to protect her) We all know Rolo is CRAZY JEALOUS over Lelouch and Rolo knew how close Shirley and Lelouch were and he knew if he let her live and possibly join up with them, that could mean that he'd become useless to Lelouch sooner or later and he'd loose his place. Rolo killing someone is nothing knew. Him killing some silly girl in the way would be no problem for him.

Rolo easily could have geass'd her, shot her and then put the gun in her hand. This is Sunrise here, I doubt it's much more involved than that. And Rolo had a pretty "evil" look in his eyes before the scene change. I think we're trying to pull at straws here now, lol.

Yeah, you hit the other points that make it weird that it's Suzaku. I'm vaguely bemused that people are even thinking it's Suzaku, given that Rollo is nuts and Suzaku, while nuts, is a very stupidly noble kind of nuts with logic that usually strays from killing, even while under the influence of his geass.

Suzaku killing her doesn't make any sense to me. He wouldn't have willing killed her, not basically randomly, which is what it would be if he did kill her. I'm surprised Suzaku has even come into the argument to be truthful. Those claims really hold no ground at all and looks like people are trying a little hard to make Rolo innocent which we should all know he is far from. Or have we all already forgotten about the first like 5 eps where he was off killing random people?

Yeah, it's true it looks like it was Rolo, and it probably was. But I still say there's something odd about it all, even for yandere Rolo jealous of Nunnally and all.

Knowing this show, it is possible they're not telling us something.

You think it's odd tof Rolo killing Shirley or just killed someone in general? Because it's defiantly not odd. It's the one thing that has been building up this season is Rolo's jealousy over Lelouch and his willingness to kill anyone in order to keep Lelouch to himself and keep Nunnally away. I find it completely normal, there really wouldn't be any other way for Rolo to act in this situation. His place was being threated. He wanted to make sure she was dead and shooting her was probably the most effective and fastest way, without the chance of her survival.

Maybe, but I doubt here there is much else for them to tell us other than give us a flashback of something Shirley or Rolo might have said before he killed her.
