That's her in the top middle and top left pics. Oh, but oh my gosh this is so embarassing. We finally get a thread dedicated Shirley, created in my name, and I can't think of anything to talk about Hmm, well I guess there's the always popular topic of, if Shirley had survived to the end of the series, what role to you think she would have played? Personally, while I'm not sure that she would've become a full-fledged member of the Black Knights, I think she may have helped Lelouch in other ways. Perhaps she could have helped him from Ashford somehow and given her support in small, but meaningful ways. Last edited by Nobodyman9; 2009-05-05 at 03:34. |

Yes, because that worked so well last time. >.>
Really, she'd work best at counseling or advisory. And she'd be able to throw suspicion off of Lelouch at Ashford, as with her surviving, he wouldn't have abandoned the school like he had.

I don't think Lelouch would have allowed Shirley to even help him out. After seeing someone like Shirley with an gun again. He probably would have used his geass again(He had Jeremiah on his side too, he wouldn't have to worry about someone else to cancel his geass). Going even further he probably would have used the geass cult instead of taking them out. Who knows what would/could have happened.

Considering the way Shirley was acting, I don't think him not letting her help out would really fly with her. She'd still try to help. He would be better off having her help in a way that keeps her out of danger.

Given how Lelouch's tends to protect people by pushing them away in his own way. I just don't think he'll allow Shirley to even help him out in anyway. It wouldn't sit well with her but I think she'll understand(Her role would probably be just to stay at Ashford. Wouldn't expect anything more than that). If not, Lelouch probably would use his geass again. No reason for Lelouch to have Shirley's life on the line just because she wants to stay by his side(If she decided to or whatever). Its not like she really has an reason to fight with the BKs for example. Just my take on it.

As far as the difference in the actions of Shirley and Euphemia in their final moments? I chock it up to dramatic necessity, rather than to a coherent intention on the nature of Geass's effects. Each girl needed to focus on declaring their feelings for their loved one before the proverbial fridge door was closed. It's similar to how people explain Euphemia and Nunally's resistences to Lelouch's Geass as a person being able to resist a command that is "particularly contrary to their nature, or abhorrent to their beliefs." The first thing that pops into my mind when I read this was the smiles on the faces of the very first group of soldiers Lelouch Geassed to die in each season's opening episodes, and the other instances where Lelouch orders people to kill themselves as part of the commands he gives. None of these people seem to resist, so unless all of them were seriously contemplating suicide, then we should have seen them show fear and resistence, rather than the sheer elation that we did see. It was simply a means of delaying the effects of the Geass and thereby adding drama by letting the implications of what just happened sink in for the audience so to speak, and the the presence of a Geass command that could..."interfere" with Shirley and Euphemia's ability to confess their feelings had to be ignored, or at least ignored dramatically. |
