T________T hey, don't be hating.

Shirley's death holds no meaning then to Lelouch then? I assume not, what happened to "using him like a dish rag"?

[aya-kari.livejournal.com]

Why won't people ever consider Rolo's past when judging his actions -_-

[lavaliere]

Really. :| How is a child brought up to kill others supposed to understand the sanctity of life and how it might mean to others? Sure, he comes to understand that a little, just in time to die for Lelouch, but he's still a cold, apathetic killer because of how he was raised. It's not entirely his fault.

[ex-monarchy375.livejournal.com]

SEE, THAT'S THE THING. He was raised to kill anyone that got in his way, and he did even when he was first introduced. He lived almost his entire life alone trained to just slaughter anyone who crossed his path in a way that he didn't like, what did people expect of him? He starts to learn, and he starts to move, even slowly, beyond it. Yes, he's incredibly attached to Lelouch, but a good part of that is also because Lelouch is the only person who has (appearances, at least) been the first person to ever even care if he lived or died. Cut the guy some slack. :|

[amachizzle.livejournal.com]

Screw that. He was going to kill Nunnally.

[ex-monarchy375.livejournal.com]

Catch what I said about "slowly".

He's never had someone to care about him, he doesn't know how to handle the emotions, so yeah, he was extremely jealous. Why is that so hard to comprehend that it's not just him being like that naturally? When someone's raised in an environment like that I can't say I'd expect much less.

[lavaliere]

What part of "raised as a killer" do you not understand? His entire life, he was ingrained to believe that those who stood in the way would have to be eliminated. Even when he slowly begins to understand human emotions, that concept is still ingrained into his thoughts and dictates his motivation or drive. Lelouch was the only person to ever suggest that someone cared more about Rolo than his own life (even if it was fake), and Rolo's motivations were determined by that as well. His drive became to be the most important person in Lelouch's life because Lelouch was the most important in his. This, along with how he was raised, led to the "kill others" frame of mind.

Essentially, it's not entirely his fault for the way he thinks.

[aestalitz.livejournal.com]

Agreed. \o/ From what I can understand in the last bit when he was using his Geass, he was saying how he was the Order's tool, and then nii-san's tool after that, but thanks to the memories he had, he was to finally become a "human". He says that this (i.e. saving Lelouch) is out of his own free will.

And that was why I cried even after watching the scene for the sixth time. :/

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

I doubt that really changes anything to why Lelouch suddenly forgave him.

I bet Shirley's HELLA pissed in Heaven/Hell/Afterlife/6 Feet Under about this.

Well if it were real.

[lavaliere]

Bah, Shirley forgave Lelouch for killing her dad and other things. I doubt she's upset that he forgave her killer. In fact, the concept Shirley preached, forgiveness, was exactly what Lelouch was exhibiting. So, I bet she was probably proud of him, if anything.

Besides, it's not like she was pissed off that Rolo killed her. She didn't exactly say "ROLO KILLED ME! Get revenge for me!" when he shot her, did she? :\

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

No, she didn't. But Lelouch swore to kill Rolo in revenge, and lelouch being all BAAAAWWW'ing over Rolo is disregarding his promise to Shirley, and then a---- maybe i'm just one-track-minded...

But if you hate this person so much, plotting his demise for however-long, why feel sympathy over him dying?

[ex-monarchy375.livejournal.com]

Maybe because he saved your life and sacrificed his own for it, even after you screamed at him and told him that you hated him?

[lavaliere]

Lelouch is human, which means his motivations and emotions are going to be affected by events around him. If anything, I think Lelouch used Shirley's death as another excuse to "hate" Rolo, while deep down, I think he still had feelings for him. If Lelouch truly hated Rolo as much as he claimed, I think he would've killed him off earlier rather than keep him around "because he was useful." Claiming he's of use is another excuse, I think. Whether he would've wanted to admit it or not, Lelouch was still affected by the time he spent with Rolo.

The means in which Rolo died would have also had an affect. Rolo died saving Lelouch, and in a way that he knew was going to kill him. In a way, Rolo was very aware that he was dying to save someone who claimed to kill him, and Lelouch knew that as well. That would have some affect on a person, even if they claimed to hate the person that died for them.

[lavaliere]

He buries Rolo, but doesn't show up for Shirley's funeral. :\

Lelouch happens to be human and has changing emotions. Rolo was able to demonstrate how much he cared for Lelouch and thus swayed his point of view.

|D You made me feel so much better. ♥

[ex-monarchy375.livejournal.com]

IT WAS THE MOST APPROPRIATE RESPONSE I COULD THINK OF. 8) ♥

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Fantastic!

Shirley's death not even holds a meaning to Sunrise, Check the Character Chart

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

Gah. Atrocity.

Not that I was even a Shirley fan, but they make such a big shit over her death and now it's pointless.

WTG $unrise....

[lavaliere]

She never was that much of an active character to begin with. Mostly, her character was there to provide some angst for Lelouch and to make him see that his actions would cause reactions that even he could not forsee.

Basically: She was stuffed in the fridge. The end.
