| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kind of a boring Rolo flashback. Since this was labeled 19.02 and he died around episode 19 this was probably meant to be a 'life flashes before your eyes' story. |

| so where can i watch this? |
 |
| where can i see this w/out download? |
 |
| The only thing I'd remember is the haircut part. |
| For me this was the best picture drama it was so sweet it made me cry again poor Rolo well even if it was just for a little while he got to experience happiness and what family was like. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I...I just can't feel sorry for Rolo anymore after killing Shirley and all the shit he did...ugh. |
| Fuck Rolo, that guy killed Shirley. I'll never forgive him. |
| Peace out Rolo. You killed Shirley so I'm pissed at you... but i still see that you thought u were protecting Lulu.... still you are so beyond fucked up that your death was bound to happen soon or later. the music in this show was top notch.. it made me feel somewhat sad for this guy. |
  |
| Depress. :c His killing of Shirley was definitely a douche move, but I guess that it had some benefits since it really got me appreciating Shirley's character more. Sad how it takes a death for me to start to like her. orz |
 |
| Awww, Rolo. So sad T.T |
| Sad moment for Rolo... Now give me back Shirley!!!! |
"Signature removed"   |

Airveen said: Brining back the sad flashbacks Haha, yup. o_o Oh, just realized that this post was almost exactly a year ago. What a doting brother Lulu is. |
 |
| Pretty sad...You're still a bitch for killing Shirley though Rolo. |
 |
| Even though he killed Shirley, Rolo's death was really sad and I do understand him. 3/5 |
 |
| I still can't forgive Rolo ;-; |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| The art was nice, I guess. Okay Rolo episode. Atleast he understands how Lelouch feels about Nunnally. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Rolo is actually one of my favorite characters in the series, so I'm glad he got this episode about him. I wish we'd have a full OVA pre-R2 though that would focus on his surveillance work on Lelouch and how his thoughts become conflicting when he started to think of Lelouch as a real brother to him. |

| okay wth, wasn't expecting this either, this was so good! Way better than the others! This one actually really helps show Rolo's characterisation, how the mundane everyday life with Lelouch and the misdirected love (intended for Nunally) helped to change him, and make Lelouch extremely important to him. He even expresses his doubts and worries going into the mission, knowing family is something he's always lacked and craved, he knew feeling this even as as an illusion/imitation would be dangerous with the potential of compromising his mission. In the end he decides to abandon his previous duty & convictions, in order to allow himself to feel this bond, even knowing it's fabricated on Lelouch's part and not necessarily genuine. I always liked Rolo's arc in the show, and in the end I felt for him and hoped Lelouch reciprocated at least some of what Rolo felt, even tho it would suggest otherwise and that he simply lied to dying Rolo to comfort him. That he had the kindness to do so, at least suggests he doesn't hate him like he says in that fit of rage over the phone charm (I think it's clear he hated the situation and that Nunally was taken from him and in danger, and took his frustration out on Rolo). But I guess it's up to you how he truly felt, but looking at Lelouch as a character, it might be unlikely he did feel anything for Rolo besides that he was a useful tool to manipulate. He did genuinely plan to kill him so that would suggest at least initially he's indifferent to negative towards to him, and only Rolo's plight and self sacrifice may have slightly changed that (ofc still unlikely and up to interpretation). Maybe that's what makes Rolo's arc so tragic, he doesn't genuinely have the love that he fights and strives for |

| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Never liked Rolo. Hated him in fact for killing Shirley. So this episode was just okay to me. I have no sympathy for him. |
