That’s right. LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA and MANFRED VON KARMA are the same person. I HAVE ALL THE PROOF NEEDED TO MAKE A CASE.
BUT before that and because I can’t cut like in the middle of the post like in LJ (or, I don’t know how to do it ~_~), WHY DOES VINCENT KEEP SAYING LELOUCH’S LINES. That’s right, Vincent Nightray, also known as that-guy-who-coincidentally-happens-to-be-a-brocon-and-has-the-same-name-as-certain-brocon’s-knightmare. He just HAD to be voiced by FukuJun and go checkmate some weeks ago, and now this time he’s all talking about manipulating pawns and stuff? Huhhh? xD and one of his eyes is red (Rolo’s). And also hearing Lelouch’s voice pronouncing NIISAN with such a BROCON TONE was scary and *facepalm*. So yeah, there may be more similarities between Vincent and the two Lamperouges (sorry Nunnally for leaving you out) than there are between Lelouch and von Karma. AND THAT IS SAYING A LOT. It would have been awesome that chibi!Vincent was voiced by Daichuu ARGH NO, SHUT UP.
Also if they had kept Finland’s purple eyes and not-so-yellow-more-like-beige hair as it was… H-HOW CAN YOU ASK DAICHUU TO VOICE A CHARACTER WHO LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE ROLO in fanarts anyway AND THEN YOU CHANGE THE CHARACTER SO THAT HE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ROLO ANYMORE.
Not that I was truly interested in Hetalia but… I would have watched a bit more if necessary to see Rolo#2. NOW I KNOW I CERTAINLY WON’T.
SO, as I was saying: Lelouch vi Britannia and Manfred von Karma are the same person.
Attention: Don’t click if you haven’t played Phoenix Wright 1. This post is full of spoilers for Turnabout Goodbyes, WHICH IS THE BEST EPISODE OF THE WHOLE SERIES AND THERE WILL NEVER BE A BETTER ONE BECAUSE IT’S SO PERFECT -in every sense- THAT YOU JUST KNOW IT CAN’T BE SURPASSED.
You heard that, don’t click unless you already know what happens. SERIOUSLY, DON’T. WAIT FOR AN ANIME VERSION OR SOMETHING. Or watch one of those recorded playthroughs on youtube xD
(Also big spoilers for the last episodes of R2 but, well, if the rest of this blog didn’t spoil it already…)

I… don’t truly think this is proof enough that something new is coming.
BUT- I-If it were…!!! What would I want? A new anime? Not if it resembles Savers. A new movie? Huhhhh maybe… T-TAMERS 2, that would be good ;-; but the line seems to suggest that it’s something connected with the Adventure series…
Idk, I wouldn’t touch the adventures again. Both the first season and 02 are perfect as they are and…. well, they are special. They don’t need to have anything added though the epilogue should be taken out
Anyhow, yeah, just make sure that you don’t write it about the chosen children’s children- the ones that appeared in the epilogue I DON’T WANNA SEE MARRIEDPRIVATEINVESTIGATOR!KEN EVER AGAIN
The hardest part is that no matter what they try, the Digimon anime will never be the same without Arisawa-san… T.T

Sorry for the absence, I’m still here.
Yeah, I just can’t find the time or the content with which to update! I know I said I was going to post the Donjara dialogues – it’s just taking me so long to copy all the thing xD But I’m done with three-quarters, I have to finish it soon!
Anyway, taking the opportunity to mention something that isn’t actually any news but it might be interesting. Snatched from 2ch:

Apparently CC will have a monologue too, so it’s CC, Lelouch, Shirley and Rolo, though they seem to give more emphasis on the last three. It says that we’ll get to see the “interior” of Rolo and Shirley, the characters that are gone. I find it funny that they talk about Rolo and Shirley as if their deaths were kind of … equal in meaning and unavoidable, in the sense that they both ended up dying by some sort of mistake or accident and it’s a shame. Seriously Sunrise have you forgotten that you are putting together like that A KILLER AND HIS VICTIM? Am I the only one who finds Sunrise’s behavior to be in extremely bad taste for Shirley fans.
So, “interior” it says, and that we might learn some things we didn’t know. Maybe the last bit is just to attract customers and then Rolo’s narration will be nothing but “I DIDN’T HAVE A KAZOKU YOU WERE MY FIRST KAZOKU OMG YASASHISA!11!!1!!!!” which·we·have·heard·SO·MANY·TIMES already XDD Of course I wouldn’t complain about anything that means more Rolo (and Daichuu! Because they… are recorded narrations, right? Not written, right? Actually, now that I think about it I don’t even know D:). But really, I’m very curious to see what Rolo will tell us if it’s supposed to add to his character, since he is so obsessed and therefore monothematic (kinda like me talking about Rolo all day), he has already talked about everything one can say about their relationship with another person- in this case Niisan. What else can he add that he hasn’t explained already? His feelings towards Lelouch are completely clear by now…
Now if it were the other way around, Lelouch’s feelings towards Rolo- THAT would be interesting to hear. How can you go from hating somebody so much that you “shudder from the disgrace” (lol dub!quote) of having considered him your little brother (embarrassed because you played Pink Sheets with him huh, Lelouch?) to mentioning his name before Shirley’s after he dies? And you remember HIM the most during your last moments? YOU EVEN SHOW A NEW IMAGE THAT FEATURES NOBODY ELSE BUT HIM AND YOU TOGETHER? FFFFFFFFFFFFF IT MAKES NO SENSE
EDIT: Well, if Lelouch’s narration will have him “reflecting on his mistakes”… hey, that might include some Rolo :3~~

I HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR NEVER HAVING NOTICED THIS BEFORE
ahsdjkashldksahdjfkdajfladgasjasaf
B-bet all of you knew this already and FOR SOME REASON I HAD NEVER CHECKED HIS HANDS EVEN THOUGH THE FACT THAT HE ISN’T WEARING ANY GLOVES WAS CLEARLY ASKING FOR IT. I must be stupid ,_,
Well, anyway!
Lelouch von Karma dug a grave for Rolo with his own hands, HE DID!! No Shinkirou’s as it has often been speculated, he sacrificed himself even though he has no stamina ;W; ALL FOR ROLO
Luluuuuu thank youuuuuuuuuu ♥!!

( ̄□ ̄;)!!!! Daichuu started a blog last week
I WANT TO TELL HIM SOMETHING. Perhaps I shall wait for his birthday (this Sunday!) to come then leave 大事だよね、誕生日は at the guestbook. Tch… but I don’t truly understand how to use this ameblo thing.
Would help reading the faq I guess…if only I was able to.
In other news, I’d say these photos confirm that the Zero Requiem Special Edition DVD will come with some narration by Shirley and Rolo. I’m not too sure since it’s extremely strange that nobody’s talking about it on their blogs or at least I can’t seem to find any japanese that does then again it also took me a long time to find proof that I was right in the translation of that fragment about Rolo’s finger being “cured” by Lelouch’s mou- *shot* EDIT: Now 100% confirmed thanks to 2ch comments!
So as I was saying the interview does explain that Shirley and Rolo ended up becoming the triggers of Lelouch’s actions… (;_; really Rolo I’ve no idea how you managed to become so important to Lelouch. I’m so glad yet it’s still an unexplicable mystery to me) So, what about Nunnally? Or perhaps they don’t even need to mention her as her influence is a given… Dunno, anyway, Shirley and Rolo’s deaths were what Lulu was most affected by? This proves how much Lelouch cared about Euphy, I see… OTL
I should be glad since Rolo and Shirley (and Lelouch) are my indisputable favorites, yet I complain xD but, ahh, that’s just because I don’t want to sound biased towards them and ignore the rest of the characters … ><’; It would feel unfair to fangirl while others are suffering : (
That is all, hope I did interpret the content of those photos correctly and the inclusion of a narration from their points of view is real ^^
(Some days ago I said I’d post some quotes from Banjou no Geass Gekijou. I promise, I’m working on copying them but I’m so slow =P)

6th June! Aka 06/06, Rolo’s day!
Hopefully that means scans from the new anthology will be up soon… Pretty pretty please? ; ~; EDIT: they changed the release date, it isn’t coming out until July orz
And for this special day I have collected Rolo’s laughs in a sound file! Click here!
Maybe I’m missing some. Hmm… that would be a good thing actually, wouldn’t it?… I mean, if it means he was happier than I expected…

[continued. Giving the link again because I took everything from this blog and I don't even know how to thank them.]
-Wakamoto’s “AAAAALL HAAAIL BRITAAANNNIAAAAAA—-!!!!!” did not lip-sync at first but since they found that pronounciation amusing, they adjusted the pictures to the line later, instead of doing the opposite (making him repeat the line a different way XD). Also, Lloyd’s voice actor modified Rakshata’s original name, which was going to be Rakshasa. According to FukuJun though, the name that truly needed a change was “Kururugi”, because everyone had a problem pronouncing that~
-Kawaguchi P talks about the timeslot change and how it altered their original plans considerably. They had written up until episode 3, but had to discard and redo everything. At first, it had been decided that the winner in the showdown between Suzaku and Lelouch was going to be Lelouch º__º” (I didn’t know this. Has it been shared before, when there was that discussion about the original plans for R2 being completely different? Maybe I missed it~). Both FukuJun and Daichuu think it’s more logical that Lelouch lost a fight in which he needed to use physical strength, plus Suzaku would be able to dodge any bullet XD
-After it was decided that Lelouch should lose that fight, their initial idea was to have him stay inside a cell during the day and make him escape and act as Zero during the night, but such maneuver wasn’t very Lelouch-like because it also required being active and energetic (lol Lelouch you shall forever be known as the weakest anime character ever). Therefore, the Ashford Academy became that “cell”, and as they needed somebody to keep watch on Lelouch, tadah! Rolo was born =D. That’s right, Rolo owes his existence to Lelouch’s lack of stamina! lmao
-Since Lelouch said “your big brother is a liar“, they all agree it’s as if they truly were brothers in the end (no really, I’d say Rolo still doesn’t quite grasp the concept of what a fraternal relationship is xD…). That line aimed to show that and be proof of Lelouch’s growth as well.
-Daichuu thinks being able to protect Lelouch and die in the arms of his beloved Niisan must have been the happiest possible end for Rolo; there’s probably no better end than that. (He did not die in his arms though, Daichuu D: Lelouch didn’t even hold his hand while Rolo would still be able to notice it… N-Not that I’m complaining, Rolo did indeed get the best end, even better than of those who lived ._: I mean, since Lulu went to Jupiter as well, Rolo wins, you know? Poor Nunnally)
-Aww xD since this event is from last December, Kawaguchi P explains that Code Geass isn’t over yet and that the staff is still working on the last Illust Drama. Daichuu imagines that since Rolo is dead, he (Daichuu) won’t appear. FukuJun then guesses that means he won’t appear either, since Lelouch is dead as well XD so he asks that they make it about the World of C. Daichuu: “Ah, then both of us will appear.” <=3 I think I might start calling Jupiter the Planet of C from now on
I think that’s all I am able to understand and translate, (though there are some more things). Hopefully the mistakes aren’t too many? ^^`; but since I’ve only just began studying moon, well, I can’t promise much accuracy lol
Posted by: Ayanta on: May 29, 2009
Oh man. I came across THIS WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL BLOG ♥ with a transcription of one of the Code Geass events (in December), featuring FukuJun, Daichuu and Kawaguchi (producer). THEY TALKED A LOT ABOUT ROLO.
Translating some bits instead of studying for my exams (but I swear, I have finished all I had to do for todayyyy):
-According to FukuJun, the ending was a happy one for Lelouch as well.
-Daichuu had some problems with the line “koroshi ni kimashita. Zero wo”, because it’s the first line in the series to establish that Rolo is an assassin. Apparently, he was surprised because Taniguchi told him to dub that scene as if he was buying an onigiri at a convenience store (lol). At the time, he didn’t know killing was something that seemed ordinary to his character (=P). He says if he had known about Rolo’s past at the time, he might have pronounced the line more lightly.
-Just like in *almost* every other Daichuu interview out there, he makes a mention of the scene with the potatoes in ep5 xD. He says seeing that scene made him think “ahh, he is that kind of character” (meaning typical BL orz). But he was threatened by Taniguchi not to perform like that: “Don’t make him a homo! I hate that! The next time you do so, I will kill you” XDD (so does this mean Daichuu died after dubbing Rolo’s reaction to Xingke’s koroshimonku in SE6?). But Daichuu insists that Rolo has too many homo scenes to think otherwise o_o~
-There REALLY was (and I suppose, still is) a Rolo fanclub-like thing among the staff. Haha, all females I guess but… Bet Daichuu would not have minded joining them as well ☆
-Daichuu liked Shirley a lot (I think he says she was his favorite character?). He calls Taniguchi a sadist for making him have to kill her OTL. He says at first he thought it could not have been Rolo (in denial like some of us~~), that he must have been shown activating his geass to protect her or something like that! And he felt truly let down when Rolo totally didn’t care about having done such a thing and actually appeared all glad-looking: “Niisan, I killed her ♪ Praise me ♪”. FFFFFFF, Daichuu how well I understand you T_T
-On the other hand, FukuJun admits he actually couldn’t help but laugh at Rolo’s delusion orz (this guy is too happy-go-lucky isn’t he)
-So Daichuu was scared of telling Taniguchi “Nunnally is also cute”, fearing he might respond with a “should we kill Nunnally as well…” x’D. He continues saying that from episode 13 onwards, Rolo’s death flag was obvious (FukuJun agrees), and that he was waiting for the moment when he would die. That Rolo’s last scene would even include a special piece of music, he thinks of it as a really nice ending for Rolo.
-D-daichuu says when recording episode 19 it was as if his feelings and Rolo’s were synchronized ;A; (DAICHUU MOEEEEEEEEEE) and that he himself cried during that scene and when listening to BokuTori afterwards (shakdasjhfdsdshldsashdjkasaldsfdhsla s-so cute ;~~;)
-He says that the only thing to disappoint him was the fact that Rolo’s death was not remembered anymore after that episode (…Huh, what? xD that’s funny since I believe just the opposite… He kept appearing in photos and Rivalz asked for him in ep20 and, sheesh, what more do you want? Shirley was the one to get the most unfair treatment! Code Geass was even excessively kind to Rolo! And it’s a Rolo fangirl here saying this lol). Kawaguchi P explains that the second part in R2 was compressed and there was no space for reminiscing.
-What the… XDDDDD FukuJun suggests that since Lelouch has no physical strength, Rolo’s grave has got to be very shallow, and that perhaps his feet will come out or something. Daichuu wonders if that means he’ll be attacked by crows (I, become bird food?) and his corpse become weatherworn. As many people concluded, Kawaguchi P too thinks Lelouch might have used the Shinkirou.
-Since Daichuu was no longer given the script for the next episode after ep19, he could enjoy the rest of the series as any other normal viewer. He says what he was most interested into was the fight between Kallen and Suzaku, and he was convinced that one of them would have to die in the end.
Ahh there’s still a lot left! I’ll get it done another day… (tomorrow? Or next week. Seriously I have to study xD). Will post it at the LJ comm when I have the whole thing :3
