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.

I'm very happy about this theory, honestly I am. It definitely didn't look like a knife wound. It was a nice, clean hole, so it makes sense it would be a gun instead.

Problem is... I still think Rollo did it. Sure it would be great if it was someone else, cause I was shocked and horrified when I see Rollo there then Shirley dies. As much as I didn't like Shirley, I certainly didn't hate her either, not enough to like that she died (even if it finally kick started the plot).

The thing is, no matter how much you rationalize it to be another way, all facts point to Rollo. And as for it not being his style to take someone's gun, shoot them with it, then replace it in their hand. Hes an ASSASSIN. Someone trained to kill people in many forms, as long as they died. Someone who was given missions and mostly likely told to accomplish them by ANY means. I seriously doubt he has a style of doing anything as long as the mission was completed. Plus I think he got jealous when Shirley mentioned Nunnally :/

Rollo is Lulu's fake brother. I seriously doubt he wants to hear about Nunnally from anyone, specially about bringing back her happiness. Since that could be taken as bringing her back to her brother, pretty much making Rollo useless.

Also, as for your Suzaku accidentally killing her theory. Hes says in the sub that he'll take command of the police and fire fighters from here. I took this as meaning outside the building, and there really wasn't much of reason for him to go in. The police never confirmed it was terrorists, civilians just freak out the moment smoke bombs go off and gun shots are heard. Plus we never did see him go into the building.

As much as I hate to say it, it seriously looks like Rollo is the one who did it :/ As nice and dramatic, and twisty it would be if someone else did it, all factors point to Rollo.

That's true. I didn't really do this out of "OMGNOITCAN'TBEROLO!" but more out of "This looks weird, could it be Geass is screwing with us again?"

All signs point to Rolo, yes, and it probably was him, I admit. I LIKE him as an angry jealous shota.

BUT--I also like big twists and revealing it wasn't Rolo would be cool in that twisty way.

I'm kinda torn between wanting it to be Rolo and not wanting it to be Rolo, honest. If it was Suzaku, that would have been awesome, too. Just for the MOAR ANGST factor.

I dunno. Geass will be geass nonetheless, I suppose.

I must admit they are pretty entertaining theories.

And I like him as an angry jealous shota too :D;; I'm just a little sad it was him who killed Shirley cause you just know what will end up happening in the end.

Big twists are fun, and I would love it if it wasn't him. I've enjoyed him in the show and I don't want him to leave.

And I think Geass has reached its Angst limit XD If they give it anymore angst I might just actually throw my computer after an episode sooner or later.

And I agree, Geass will be Geass in the end no matter what :/ I hate you sunrise...
