With Euphie, despite the fact that Lelouch was the one who caused her horrible death and everything that preceded it, I still felt bad for him for having to shoot a sister he obviously loved, because there was really nothing else he could have done for her at that point. It was a heartbreakingly tragic and poetic moment, amid the over-the-top, unintentional silliness of the whole situation. And, as was already mentioned, it was the moment where the last boat for Happyendville sailed away. Or rather, collided with a massive glacier storming out of the left field, Titanic style.
Shirley, because it was the straw that broke the camel's back. The very fact that she died just as Lelouch finally let go and decided to allow himself to love her is tragic enough, but it was also the addition to the long line of terrible and pointless personal tragedies that made him crack and start making mistakes he would later pay for dearly. And that's without even getting into how she basically died because she loved him and just wanted to make him happy, and that she did it knowing fully well what he's capable of.
Or rather, collided with a massive glacier storming out of the left field, Titanic style. ...If the glacier was laden with C4 that exploded on contact, and great white sharks started jumping out of the water to snag screaming passengers off of the deck, and then everyone spontaneously combusted in the water. Because really--that was the most outrageous thing I've ever watched. Crash and burn x2493.
I still contend that they had one last gasping chance for GOOD END, but then lol Kanon and lol FLEIJA happened. Oops.
