Episode 13.......OH FU**!!! I.....wow..... :shock: :shock:

[spoiler]Rollo killed Shirley. Oh god now the hate of him returns! And it's such a tragic death too![/spoiler]

Other interesting moments include...

[spoiler]- Sayoko is truly a ninja maid, and the new OP scene proves she's an Otome as well! :lol:

- Cornelia wasted no time throwing a dagger at V.V. Of course she found out that he's immortal.

- Lelouch actually got Orange on HIS SIDE?!! Supposedly he was there at the scene of Lelouch's mother's assassination in which he felt guilty of not protecting her. [/spoiler]

The new OP and ED songs are alright though the OP sequence did show some intriguing scenes like Lancelot and Guren getting wings! The ED sequence has more sexy CLAMP artwork with their usual motifs. Man, it seems like fun time is over from this point on.

WTF?! [spoiler]How could they kill Shirley?! I was almost crying. I had to hold back the tears.
[/spoiler]
Anyway
[spoiler]Now Orange-kun is on Lelouch's side and I thought I seen it all.
Sayoko gives ninjas a good name XD
And we continue with Suzaku's struggle to continue not being friends with Lelouch anymore.
[/spoiler]

Besides that, new opening and ending.
I have to say I prefer "O2", but I still like the new opening

Hmm those Masks might've been useful for my AMV.

Now can I start a "Rollo Must Die" one now? :/

I *was* crying. >_>
Really... until something may come and clear his name (you may never know what really happened, it's sunrise after all :D), I hate him.

To be honest,
[spoiler]I never liked Shirley. Her contributions to the anime were slim at best for me.
In my opinion, this is the best way that she could leave.
It was, after all, a beautiful death.[/spoiler]

Rolo must die effective immediately.
He shall be burnt in a stake and then his corpse must be fed to the dogs. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[spoiler]why did they have to kill Shirley?[/spoiler]
That was the last thing I wanted to happen especially after she discovered everything in last ep...

what the shitsnap :shock:

That was just a massive series of twists in a series that's already shamelessly twisty to begin with. I honestly don't know who Lelouch can actually trust anymore.

But wow, here I thought Lelouch's scheming would initiate an un-rolling of Rollo's character later on in the series. Naive, that :roll:

Also,

[spoiler]I'm on the sad side of this. While Shirley has been somewhat prone to this series' tendency to use every side character as a plot device here or there, she was certainly one of the most sympathetic and better-developed characters. I felt sorry for her in the first season, and thought it was too bad they pushed her off the plot map with the geass mid-season; and I felt even more sorry for her this time. While she remained a hopelessly naive airhead to the end, she totally did not deserve this :(

Certainly ranks up there with Euphie's demise at the end of R1, but while Euphie's end was more of a shocker, I'm a lot more sad for Shirley. Unlike Euphie, she had no fault in anything and her naivete only ever hurt one person: herself.

I wonder if Lelouch will go on a rampage now to match Suzaku's reaction to Euphie's death. If this ends up being blamed on Suzaku, which I can totally see Lelouch doing (seeing how he saw her with him last), oh boy! [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Shirley's GONE!?! How is that possible? First they get rid of Euphemia... And then Shirley?!? Code GEass is going mad![/spoiler]

[spoiler]Well it all makes sense from a plotline standpoint. Now both Suzaku and Lelouch have lost the woman closest to them. I think Lelouch is going to turn the tables on Suzaku and blame him for her death whereas before it was the other way around. The role reversal should be interesting. Now to see if this leads to them becoming friends once again and exposing the hidden truths between them or if one of them is driven to kill the other. (I'm hoping for the former, but experience tells me it will be the latter.) *crosses fingers*[/spoiler]

13 was quite epic.

[spoiler]I agree with most people that Shirley's death was sad. I feel bad for Lelouch now, and he will probably blame Suzaku for her death. I bet he will get mad with power and destroy everything.
I think from here on out it will be just chaos and epicness.

Now I get why they did episode 12. To give a little more air time for Shirley V_V[/spoiler]

WHY!!!!!???????
[spoiler]Shirley dies. I was really expecting another dramatic confrontation between her and Lelouch, but not this. It's just too sad.[/spoiler]

Ok, well I finally got around to watching 13, and I have to say that although it was sad, I think reading all those spoilers before hand ruined it for me in the sense that I wasn't really shocked by what happened, though it was a dramatic event.

However, to all the Rolo-haters, stop and reconsider what you're saying.

[spoiler]1)Why didn't they show us the scene where Shirley is killed?
2)Why didn't he take the gun away and put it in Shirley's hands? Isn't it something normal to do as in for killing?
3)He knows that Lelouch is somewhere near, but why didn't he take care of the corpse?
4)If it's because that Shirley liked Lelouch so that Rolo killed him, shouldn't Shirley be killed in the second episode?
5)He knows that how important Shirley is to Lelouch, knowing that if he killed him, Lelouch will hate him, but why did he still do it?
6)Shirley said she was going to help Lelouch, but after she mentioned Nunally, Rolo went raepface and killed her, don't you think that doesn't suit his character?
7)When Rolo was talking to Shirley, Shirley says some keywords then Rolo changed, it wasn't a hate expression, but more like a shocked expression, not his raepface killing expression.
8)When Shirley mentioned Nunally, Rolo used his Geass, he took a sudden deep breath, then he used Geass, it isn't due to Nunally.
9)When Nunally was mentioned, there's a small time lag, just like Rolo used his geass for something else... perhaps... somebody was walking up to Shirley from behind.
10)If Rolo really wanted to kill Shirley, why did he use Geass? He's a skilled assassin, and Shirley is just a normal girl, it wouldn't take much effort to kill her.[/spoiler]

I got that off /a/ and while some questions are quite stupid, others seem fairly valid, and example being, why did they skip the scene? Just by doing that they've created so many alternative possibilities for what could have happened.

That being said, I still hope Rolo dies a long, slow and painful death.
