Working Title: Dying As Yourself:
Haven: Cut natter from under the Code Geass entry, as none of this is relevant to/changes the fact that it was indeed Dying as Yourself. (Also, it's pretty clear from her dialogue that she's still compelled to do what she can to kill him, but then she manages to overpower the geass, as it doesn't stop when she's physically unable to)
- She wouldn't have been able to follow the order anyway in her condition. It's also possible she mentally tricked the command somehow by distracting herself from the fact that Suzaku was Japanese or thinking of him as technically not one due to his status as an Honorary Britannian.
- Notable for being once out of two times anyone's ever been able to resist Lelouch's Geass. The other is in R2. Lelouch Geasses Shirley multiple times to "don't die". Not only doesn't it work (duh), she doesn't even bother trying.
- Shirley didn't resist the order so much as she couldn't follow it. There was nothing she could do to save herself at that point, and she knew it.
- She does start talking about reincarnation a lot suddenly. Maybe that's her 'trying' to live.
- No, she couldn't have followed it anyway. Lelouch's Geass only works on a person once, and he'd already used it on her way back in the first season.
- Shirley had been Geassed back in season one, but it was removed by Jeremiah Gottwald's Geass Canceller. She was, once again, a valid recipient of Lelouch's Geass.
As a Death Trope, shouldn't this page not have any spoiler text at all?
Goldfritha: What harm is it doing? Besides, it's not a death trope. The spoiler is that the person came back as himself.
