new blog to read!
TVTropes' Geass Character Sheet updated. With Rolo. Same for the Alas, Poor Scrappy Trope, which says even Lelouch mourns Rolo.
RandomC's Episode 19 review:
Before the Black Knights can execute Lelouch, Rolo bursts onto the scene onboard the Shinkirou. Determined to protect his brother, Rolo grabs Lelouch and uses his Geass power to escape from the Ikaruga. Even Anya in the Mordred is unable to stop the Shinkirou when it’s augmented by Rolo’s repeated use of his Geass power. Getting into the Shinkirou’s cockpit, Lelouch tries to stop Rolo because he knows that Rolo’s heart won’t be able to handle such Geass usage, but Rolo refuses. He knows that he’s always been someone’s tool, whether it was the religious cult or Lelouch, but he also knows that the time he spent with Lelouch was genuine, and thanks to those memories, he feels that he was able to become human. In short, he believes that what he’s doing now is not due to him being used as a tool but rather due to his own free will. Rolo’s abilities are enough to let them escape from all their pursuers, and he eventually lands the Shinkirou in a forest away from Tokyo. When Lelouch asks why Rolo saved him, Rolo asserts that Lelouch was lying earlier when he said he wanted to kill Rolo and hated him. Lelouch claims that Rolo saw through him and calls Rolo his little brother moments before Rolo passes away, his final words saying that he knows everything about his older brother. Putting the cell phone and locket in Rolo’s limp hand, Lelouch agrees that he’s a liar.
In the aftermath, Lelouch reflects on how he’s lost everything, but he thanks Rolo for keeping him alive since there’s still something he has to do.
Kurogane's blog: the Redemption of Rolo, and all that good stuff.
Memento on Episode 19 - a lot of the blogs are quite sweet, with, "I'll never forgive Rolo for X, but still, Y really impressed me." being the general guiding sentiment.
Code Trainwreck: hilarious blog linked off Kurogane's, which speculates here that, "Obviously Lelouch is going to go north and become the Emperor of the North Pole and Geass Santa Claus into solving the problems of the world. The touching hour long season finale in which Lelouch defeats Britannia by reminding them about the spirit of Christmas will include Schneizel becoming not-a-dick and kissing Kannon under the mistletoe. D’aaaaaaaaaw."
