I have to say Rolo. He's my favorite character, I felt like I and other fans had to spend a long time before his death resolving ourselves to the fact that he was doomed from the start, and I think his death is the one that had the most profound(ly positive) impact on Lelouch (or at least the most evident/lasting effect). There are a multitude of reasons. I'd say it was definitely heartbreaking.

As I see it, Euphie and Lelouch both died -- ultimately, though Euphie's death wasn't obviously so when it happened -- for the sake of the greater good and I think denying that would cheapen their sacrifices. Euphie's death was probably more upsetting because of Suzaku's reaction, whereas Lelouch's death was one of most amazing moments in the whole series. Neither were what I'd call 'heartbreaking'. They were sad, but they left me feeling fulfilled, in a way. And I say that as a huge fan of them both.

As for Shirley, I don't know that I ever understood what she contributed to the show and her death felt very hollow to me. I guess this is what the Shirley fans feel in regard to Rolo, but that's just one way of watching this series. I think it'd be a rare person who would mourn them both in the same way.

Lelouch died in a FABULOUS way.

*feels very rare indeed*

But mostly because Lelouch begged both of them not to die. Well... with Rolo he was just "Stop --- what are you doing?" With Shirley he was really "DON'T DIE!!!!!"

It's all because of his reaction, dammit, that I felt sad for Shirley dying...
