Why do the memories of Lelouch and Rolo seem rather…

… gay? I have nothing against homosexuality or anything, so don’t take this post in the wrong way. I don’t mean to intentionally offend anyone. But why are the flashbacks Lelouch (and Rolo) has of them together imply such odd closeness. I have never personally known any brothers that are THAT close. Perhaps it’s simply our culture or a different lifestyle, but it just seems weird to me.

Here we have Lelouch giving Rolo a present.

Lelouch hands Rolo a present
Here’s an acceptable sibling interaction. The giving of a present to one on his or her birthday. Perfectly fine.

But the gift inside is a bit odd. Shouldn’t a man want something that openly declares his manliness?

Rolo admires the locket
Really, a locket? Lelouch, you got your brother a locket?

Erm, OK. Lelouch realizes his mistake and attempts to take it back so he can get Rolo something better…

Lelouch reaches for the locket
Good job, Lelouch. Now get him something a man deserves. Like, a gravure idol calendar or something.

Rolo seems protective of the locket. He actually likes it. What the fuck?

Rolo holds the locket close
Rolo pulls the locket away from Lelouch’s hand, saying that it’s his because he received it. Erm, OK?

Lelouch: (What… the fuck? He likes this shit?)

Lelouch goes WTF?
Lelouch questions Rolo as well. At least… in his head.

Ah, brothers cooking together in the kitchen. That happens a lot, right?

The Lamperouge chefs
Rolo sure seems to be happy in a place where a woman belongs.

The brothers sure like to cook… together…

The Lamperouge chefs - Part 2
Why do they need to cook so often? Don’t they have a cook?

Uh, OK. Now horseback riding? They look so passionate together, too.

Rolo on a horse
Look at Lelouch’s eyes… filled with such lust. Perhaps he has succumbed to Rolo’s charm… or lack thereof.

Umm… yeah.

Lelouch and Rolo play with pink sheets
Why? Why can’t they be playing sports or something?

This one’s somewhat normal. I guess. Why are they smiling?

Lelouch helps Rolo with homework
Why does Lelouch look so happy?

… so, yeah. There you have it. Maybe I’m overreacting, but Kurogane somewhat agreed >_>

<IcyStorm> why are all of Lelouch’s memories of Rolo and him together so…
<kur0gan3> yes
<kur0gan3> oh-so-gay
<bj0rN> lolol
<IcyStorm> first a fucking locket
<bj0rN> Rolo might have used his ability to molest Lelouch from time to time

Hm.

  1. Lols. The locket was the one he gave to Nunnally. That’s why Lulu wanted it back, since Rollo shouldn’t have it.
    Also all the flashbacks were implanted memories from the Emperor. He’s the sick guy here! D::

    And uh, I have no defence for why Rollo likes the locket. =D

  2. Well, I know he gave it to her originally, but why did Emperor implant the memory with a locket? Why didn’t the Emperor implant Lelouch with a memory of him giving Rolo something more fitting?

  3. I chose to ignore it… it is better for my health…

  4. I’d guess it’s because Code Geass carefully panders to everyone in its audience, and part of its audience is made up of yaoi fangirls.

    OGT posted an entry on this subject at Anime wa Bakuhatsu da! and suggested that because the memories are all fake Taniguchi is actually poking fun at the ‘icky brotherly love’, or something.

    Haha. I love the commentary on the pics. Really funny.

  6. Because the Emperor is into BL incest.

  7. It’s the CLAMP factor. CLAMP is involved so they have to give them the opportunity to do these types of scenes so that the CLAMP faction can get it’s fill.

    Those are ROLO’s memories, not Lelouch’s, which is why we see Rolo having his Shinji-meeting-Kaworu-and-doubting-his-sexuality moment…

    And that is why Lelouch intends to use Rolo like a cheap rag.

  9. lmfao.
    great screenies man.

  10. This is termed GAR Brotherly Love.

  11. I think Lelouch’s lusftul glance was directed at the horse.

  12. Episode 7 just makes this view even more reinforced.

    Freakin’ Yaoi fangirls <.<

  13. Lelouch looks lustfully at everything, have you not noticed? It’s the Yagami Light gene.

    i think it’s pretty obvious why they would seen so close. To Lelouch he was treating Rolo just as he would Nunally because of his altered memories. And we all know how much he loved Nunally (enough to lie, KILL, and bring down the goverment ~_~).

    As for Rolo, he has seen isloated and used as a tool since he was young, so this type of relatioship is the closest he has actually had to real affection. It’s reasonaable to think that he cherishes it.

    Don’t you guys get it ?!
    Most of all anime has yaoi scenes and its something that makes fans
    like more about the anime.
    So Codegeass director is a smart one doing every love scene for
    boys (C.C X Lelouch / Karen X Lelouch / Sharley X Lelouch)
    and also for
    girls (Rollo X Lelouch).
