Them's the breaks. Just makes the show slightly more realistic in the character sense to me though that characters like Rolo and Shirley can get semi-heroic/tragic deaths yet characters like Cornelia can get cut down like it's nothing.

Kind of reminds me of Zeta Gundam actually. Now if only they could have done something about these mecha battles. Oh well, that's Gundam's forte, whereas character drama is Geass'.
Rolo = Katz and Cornelia = Emma then? Makes sense.
