I HAVE DISCOVERED A PLOT HOLE

[vibri.livejournal.com]

I checked a few recent entries and didn't see mention of this, so..

At the end of the episode, we see that Lelouch has apparently buried Rolo.  Okay.
Let's think back to season 1, back to when Lelouch was on that island with Euphie.  He couldn't even dig a hole.

He could've used the knightmare, sure.  But he would've had to drag Rolo out of it first, and I can't see him managing that.

HMM.

*LAUGHS* OMG YOU'RE RIGHT. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

[breepants.livejournal.com]

You just broke my brain. With lulz. ilu.

Unless Rolo is even flimsier than Lelouch... D:
But then again, by the time Lelouch was done with the burial, it was already sunset. Around what time was it when Rolo died? (Oh God, 'Rolo died' is so hard... ;o;) It could've taken him hours to dig that hole.

(Funny to watch, but probably not the time for comedy ;_;)

I suppose several days could've passed, and it just happened to be sunset when he finally finished the burial.
It didn't say "LATER THAT DAY", after all.

Oh, you card, Sunrise.

It's the same thing with R2 turn 14. He ran up those stairs so easily! And with turn 17, too!
Is it possible that he got *gasp* stronger?!?

THIS SUPPORTS MY SINCERE WISH THEORY THAT AT THE END OF THE SERIES LELOUCH WILL WAKE UP TO SEE SUZAKU GETTING OUT OF THE SHOWER. R2 WAS ALL A DREAM.

Oh, Code Dallas, you're so superior to canon.

[breepants.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of people are too young to get that Dallas reference.


Suzuaku is Bobby?

Obviously Lelouch secretly leveled up when we weren't looking.

[aquaelion.livejournal.com]

And now he's over 9000? :3

/derp second comment to this/

That's like them explaining Spinzaku and Suzaku running up the wall when Nunnally-imouto was kidnapped in season one.

[kaorutsukiko.livejournal.com]

Let's make an irony!
He geassed a random grunt of the Black Knights to dig the hole!

[gakupoid.livejournal.com]

(Is it Kaminejima where he was buried?)
Anything could happen there! D:

Umm ummm... the power of lockettos and niisans helped him. I got nothing. I'm still kind of pissed we didn't see Lelouch carry Rolo off, pssh. /fag

[cutewittlerolo.livejournal.com]

That is if he could even lift him...

*too lazy to sign out of RP journal*

[tanaiel.livejournal.com]

XD Well...we don't know how many days have passed, ne?

[lulu-quality.livejournal.com]

A year has passed between season 1 and 2--obviously running away from Villetta-sensei improved his stamina.

[wabisuke.livejournal.com]

My thought exactly. And that kind of ruined the moment for me while I was watching. Not the biggest Rolo fan but yeah, that little bit of sympathy got overridden.

[starryburst.livejournal.com]

Rolo makes him feel manly, so he just did it.

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

I'm trying not to laugh cause I just watched the episode and it was so cry worthy.

WHY WOULD YOU MAKE ME LAUGH AFTER THE TRAGEDY THAT WAS TURN 19!?

[schwindelmagier.livejournal.com]

Gawd, we thought about the same thing.
I also wondered about this when I saw the scene. XD

[mc0820.livejournal.com]

Unless the Lelouch at the end is really Sayoko in disguise!

See, see! I knew she wasn't dead.

...sorry to disappoint, this will just have to be filed under The Unsolved Plotholes of Sunrise.

[epistretes.livejournal.com]

I did LOL when I saw that but guessed maybe he was just distracted by the epicness of Euphieboobs.

[chickee1.livejournal.com]

Rolo died from the exhaustion of digging his own grave!

Rolo "Niisdan, I'm having a heart attack"
Lulu "Here's a shovel"
Rolo *tears up* "Thank you, Niisan!"

[klingon-jedi.livejournal.com]

I don't know why I find that hilarious, but I do.

[mikkatonic.livejournal.com]

Uhm...the power of love? xD

But wow...that is....something...xDD

[fukuju.livejournal.com]

Orly? I didn't actually think of that. I just thought Lelouch left the body in the cockpit, went to look outside, and put Rolo's locket on a conveniently placed block of wood that was embed into the ground.

Huh.

Maybe I'm too simple >:

[flamecrysta.livejournal.com]

Well, I think that he might have gotten stronger. After all, Villetta did force him to do PE, whereas (Im pretty sure) he just skipped it in season 1

[tyg.livejournal.com]

I had the exact same reaction you did. xD

Maybe he did get stronger...

[conflict]

GOD, I KNOW.

But you know, I'm not shocked by anything anymore - I mean, after this? WAI HALLO THAR, SIXPACK. Even though he can't run for three seconds. WTF D:

But maybe he was powered by grief, or something. So he got over his failtastic physical abilities. Not that he would have been able to imo, really, but it's a thought.

[sugar-dustbunny.livejournal.com]

Looks like I'm not the only one who thought that. I kinda dismissed the thought and went back to being sad though.
