Should I feel bad for Shirley? She died but it's kinda her fault. You're just a bystander while the one you're trying to support is the most wanted man on Earth. Despite being close she doesn't know anything. He is fighting but he's not alone and you should know that. He's Zero for crying out loud. Though her speech was sad to hear.

Rollo, what did you do that for? Sad that you're a fake brother and can't hold a candle to Nunnally? So much for being useful.

When shirley started walking into the danger zone, without the safe guardian Suzaku. I knew it was the end. I just thought Jeremiah was gonna make this episode a tragic one.

I hope he finds out who did it.

Great episode.

Thank God, FINALLY. Shirley has annoyed me from day one. As an archetype, I've always hated stupid characters, useless characters, but mostly stupid and useless characters. Aka Shirley/every bad heroine ever. Don't get me wrong, I understand her point in the narrative, but yo, your dad was killed in battle with your friend the terrorist and you're just going heart eyes at him anyways. Forgiveness is great and all. Still, I couldn't force myself to be interested in Shirley's painfully cliche "I'm just your average highschool girl who knows that my highschool crush must be the man of my dreams because fate" storyline. Sure the show added more depth to her than that, but she still falls within that archetype.
Side note, I love Rollo. He's the quiet kid in the back humming Pumped Up Kicks.

At first Lelouch’s plan was to use Rolo for his geass but since then Rolo has proven himself so I was hoping he would be treated well but that won’t be happening anymore and orange joining Lelouch felt too easy but it’s good and that was sad man

This was so stupid. I couldn't help but laugh at Shirley's death, honestly. The writers literally couldn't think a better way to kill her? Just sending her running straight after Lelouch, even though it's completely dangerous, just for her to not do anything besides die then and there. It made it feel cheap and dumb, so that's why I couldn't help but laugh. But looking at the bright side, I did have fun with it haha

Now just one thing that's been bugging me:
I don't get how Lelouch can do many of the things he does with so little to no time. He almost always seems to have a detonator-like switch that magically triggers n different things to happen (gas fog, the thingy on top of the train...)
It just makes zero sense to me, and I hope someone in the future can explain to me how and why, if even there is one outside of being lazy conveniences to move the plot foward.

I prefer this OST for some reason although it’s still not the best. Poor Shirley kinda feel bad for her but she’s stupid for still calling out for lulu. WTF orange-kun has to be bluffing and that little shit Rolo killing Shirley in 1 ep its 2 much!

Shirley going after Lelouch when she could have escaped with the police was really stupid, it was like she wanted to kill herself or something, it doesn't make any sense.

i watched that final scene over and over ...

brings tears to my eyes ..

Shirley truly loved Lulu .. loved him , found out he was Zero , saved him , forgave him , lost her memory , got new memories transplanted in her , loved him again , regained her memories of all the trauma a year ago , chose to forgive him once more and love him again ..

keeping it a buck , Shirley deserves her nomination as Best Girl
(~too bad the competition is stiff :'( ~)


welp .. safe to say Rip Rolo .. cuz once Lelouch finds out , the fake Kid Bro is dying

------

on yeah , and shoutout to Sir Orange for joining Lelouch gang .. he'll make a fine addition indeed

Upon rewatching Code Geass 3 times including the recap movies, all the plot holes, dumb writing, plot conveniences & contrivances became more apparent.

The Highly praised ending Zero Requiem also makes no sense and feels contrived and forced to gain sympathy for Lelouch

10mins of pathos sequence and the grandiose opera soundtrack sadly can't fix all the plot holes, dumb writing and contrivances.
He could've kept the throne and made change happen differently. Even the upcoming sequels can't fix any of these.
These are irrefutable facts and the people who watched the show for the first time are blinded by the ending.

No puedo creer lo de Shirley:( y encontré un poco raro que Orange este de parte de Lulu nose si sea tan cierto pero al parecer si se nota que es leal y espero este del lado de lulu realmente. Que gran desarrollo de personajes. Rolo habrá matado a Shirley? Espero que no pero es el principal sospechoso

This show is so absurd. Just for mentioning Nunnally, Rolo kills Shirley. The hair-trigger on that kid, jeez. I didn't find him to be *that* unstable up until now. Crikey. Also, how does Shirley have any idea what the hell is happening? You'd think she would think she's totally insane if suddenly all these different realities came to be in her mind. Oh well, chalk it up to the power of the geass, I guess.

well this sucks

shirley shouldnt have run into the station just bcoz lulu was alone.

rolo shot her in the heart.

new opening and ending are nice



this shot was neat.

double pog


shirley just changes mind very quickly

viletta is showing signs of quick change



why did she use zero's channel.

honestly, if shirley wanted to persuade rolo, she shouldn't have used a gun menacingly. knowing the mask everyone has, she should have been somewhat paranoid, especially when she asked him to help bring nunnally back when rolo took his place.

in any case, the geass canceller means lelouch can geass again, like what happened with shirley. she ded tho.

but yeah rolo sure likes his brother so much he would kill for his bro

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.

This was the first bad episode of the show for me, because the writing is starting to handwave big things away.

First off, why the hell did the boys not even ask Shirley why she almost threw herself off a damn roof?

Second, Shirley basically saying she's forgiven Lelouch (for killing her dad!) is just unceremoniously dumped in the middle of the episode with no meaningful amount of time spent on her coming to that choice. A terribly written character overall, implying she'll keep falling for a dude who basically ruined her life.

New OP ED, not bad. I just think Shirley should just stay in school and do committee stuff but seems they don't wanna waste it. That's what i thinking since watch this episode. She died in the end, what a useless character. I don't know they keep her until now. Orange now on Lulu side? A good trade with Shirley anyway. To be honest, not really hate Shirley character but for me she is a burden for Lelouch character. I got a feeling that Shirley still alive but who knows, the fact Cornelia still alive too.

Why does Lelouch have all of these hidden things (the smoke grenades, the anti-sakuradite tool, A FUCKING COPY OF HIS ROOM'S WALLS or using his geass on people off-camera, for example) that he uses to get out of complicated situations; all of this is done out of camera and are completely convenient tools used so the author doesn't have to write off a solution, it is so weird. Like how does he have enough time to do this, when does he do this, how does he do all of this? This show has an obsession with doing important stuff without showing it, but to be honest I should be used to Code Geass' dumb bullshit by now. Also yeah R.I.P. Shirley I guess... but I don't think anybody really cares, she's less than a character anyways and she got such an anticlimactic ending, Lelouch not asking who it was that shot her is also crazy IMO. Jeremiah's character is so absolutely inconsistent and schizophrenic it's actually bewildering, I can't believe this clown is actually getting more spotlight in this series; the Marianne thing feels like a complete asspull since hes nowhere to be seen on the flashbacks and the show doesnt present this plot point in any way whatsoever before this.
