Discussion: Rolo, Rollo or as you wish to write it XD

[rkylo.livejournal.com]

Ok so thanks to my frikin job I just watched Turn 13 CG R2 yesterday, and I'm still very impressed of it. That's why I decided to discuss over this frikky dikky character called Rolo ;3

So yes, he did it and I don't know if I want to thank him or if I should curse him XD Actually I didn't like Shirley at all, but I never thought it would go that far on the series. Believe me I never thought she would die, I mean it never crossed on my mind, but now that it happened I don't know how to react about it.

Anyway, to the topic thing, aka Rolo. From the second or third turn we could notice that he wasn't that sane, and from my point of view, he only accepted to be Lelouch's ally because he wanted to feel useful somehow. Not in the way that he was an assassin, but in the way that he was "loved" or "cared about" by someone; because I bet if any other character, even Orenji XD, would have done that, promised him heaven and a "family" he would have accepted, just as he did with Lulu.

If he's that "crazily" obssesed with Lelouch is not because he's in love or something, maybe he is wtf let's leave it for RoloxLelouch writers (tons of love for them btw), it's because he wants to protect his "home" and "family". Yes because if Lulu dies, bye bye home and family, because I mean...I bet everyone would go crazy if they had that kiddy "protecting" them and of course he wouldn't follow Zero's path and/or cause of rebellion, he'd run like a silly girl and get lost somewhere, becoming the new Charles Manson.

Once I read about a killer, in which she was looking for a house but, because of some trouble, she was dumped by her "boyfriend" and the old guy who took care of her told her to abandon the house because she was a prostitute...the thing here is XD that she killed both of them, because they took away from her the "home" she finally had. That's why, that in a near future (aka in the end or whatever) Lelouch discovers that Rolo was the guilty one of Shirley's death and abandons him...I wouldn't be that surprised if Lulu died in Rolo's hands. We know that kid is incredibly crazy, and we know Lulu is sacred for him, but it's not because he's an important "person" for him, it's because he represents the object of a "family" and a "home".

I love this kid, but if he did something to Lulu I'd stop liking him...or maybe I'd love him more, who knows XDDD

So, besides all my babbling, what do you guys think? ;3

You pretty much said what I wanted to say but was too lazy to type up. HAHAHA.

I actually believe that Rolo does doubt Lelouch. If he really, truly trusted Lelouch, he wouldn't have had the need to do what he did in episode 7, or repeatedly ask Lelouch if he'd keep his promise in episode 8. I think he's lightened up a little since then, but then he went and killed Shirley on the grounds that she remembered. I believe she even told Rolo that she wanted to help them, but as soon as she said Nunnally's name... I think he perceived Shirley as a threat to his way of life that he wanted to protect and he took care of it the only way he knew how. It's really depressing, because I know that wasn't Shirley's intention at all.

Hence why I feel even more sorry for him. Lelouch was definitely planning to off him either way, maybe Sunrise just made him kill Shirley so Lelouch is more justified in doing so. /conspiracy theory

I will be very sad if they kill off Rolo. When, probably being the better word; I'll probably hate Lelouch for a little while afterward too, which is weird because he's one of my favorites. ;_;

This discussion depresses me. Yet, I'm still all for your conspiracy theory.

I won't ever be able to hate Lulu because he's my favorite character, but if he indeed killed Rolo I would be somehow sad D:

I love little Rolo boy

Ha! I'd only hate Lelouch for a little while. He was my favorite character before Rolo came along. (Rolo, Lelouch & Sazaku - in that order, are my favorites! ♥ I should probably stick Gino in there somewhere.)

I also agree with you, but oh my ganz, Lulu killing Rolo will make me feel really sad. He's only a poor boy without anyone in the world D:

But I don't know, how would he know he killed Shirley? She didn't say a thing and...well who knows, Sunrise will keep surprising me til the end, and I'm sure they won't disapoint me but make me sad if they killed any of those two, aka Lulu and/or Rolo XD
