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
Es que lo de “Daichuu super cute” ya lo has dicho muchas veces XDD
Gracias^^ (aunque no sé yo si me ha salido muy bien…)
