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.

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

Ugh I feel so terrible for laughing. I'M TRYING TO MOURN HERE.

I seem to recall that the last pan up Lulu's body (lulz for inappropriate anime body-pans)during the sunset looked...different. Like, he was kind of ripped. I was like, wut he has muscles!? D8 I thought his body was all negative space!

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!"

YES.



Good, Lelouch, you look kinda cool.

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

[ceruleanghost.livejournal.com]

ah, maybe it's just the shoulder pads, but he DOES have a chest now. Where did it come from????

[mikkatonic.livejournal.com]

Uhm...the power of love? xD

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

[soundarch.livejournal.com]

lolz it's inflated. XD

hah, dbz reference, quick we need a scouter to crush

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 >:

Ick ick ick, if it was later in the week, then Rolo's corpse would've started rotting already...

[vibri.livejournal.com]

P-perhaps in the DVD version, we will see Lelouch burying a rotting Rolo..?

[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

[ayansai.livejournal.com]

Oh God I can't believe I got that reference. Dx

I wasn't even alive during Dallas

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

Hmm, Lelouch X Rotting Rolo Corpse...

I think we might be treading on a dangerous territory there.

[tyg.livejournal.com]

I had the exact same reaction you did. xD

Maybe he did get stronger...

[heirloomrose.livejournal.com]

because lelouch would actually do that

[vibri.livejournal.com]

Delicious Lelouch x Rotting Rolo, you know you want it.

[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.

[amayasuki.livejournal.com]

>.> Maybe he was lazy and just stuck a piece of wood in the ground to make it LOOK like he buried Rolo.

Or maybe, through his deep sorrow, he went against all physical restraints to bury him. .__.

Great plothole XD; thanks for pointing it out

[ee970.livejournal.com]

I figured he used Shinkiro.
Of course, someone else suggested wolves.

[xosakura-chanox.livejournal.com]

O_O..... (maybe... GAH! WHAT AM I SAYING)

...umm

[xosakura-chanox.livejournal.com]

when i saw him in front of rolos grave *cries at the sound "rolo's grave"* i was like how the hell did he do that! O_O

[kusaja.livejournal.com]

Curious, but not really a plot hole...he could have buried Rolo very close to the surface after hours of work, or just used the Knightmare Frame to make a hole in the ground.

So it can be explained, I don't see any problem.
