While watching the ending theme again (because I like Ali Project + basically clamp art book-ish shots in the bg), I noticed that as the shot of Shirley was displayed, these were the lyrics of the song:

孤独こそ愛しい
唯一の見方となだろう

一人一人血潮に塗れ
この時代に生まれ落ちた

"And beloved solitude
is your only ally."

"Everyone born into these times is
bathed in blood."

The part I thought was interesting was the fact that the shot goes from the second line here to the fourth line. That second line taken by itself could mean something like:
"I am your only ally".



Anyone think this was intended?

Doesn't sound like a coincidence since she was quite literally bathed in (her own) blood... =(

Although that could apply to just about anyone on the show, it seems especially fitting for her.

As for the "I am your only ally," I'd say that was quite literal too! She was the only person who was completely true and loyal to Lelouch. Everyone else betrayed him at some point or another.

Thx for the translation, btw!

Well, I was mostly referring to the "only ally" when I said "was that intended". :P

Oh... lol

Well anyway, most of it seemed intended to me, but maybe I'm reading too much into a pointless j-pop song
:P
