Roland is a true friend. I seriously thought he was going to be an enemy, but he ended up being a bro.

I know right. His first introduction totally had me fooled. And now I can't get enough of this guy

when Vanitas was saying why would anyone love him, and Showed how he felt about himself. Made me really sad about him of how no one would see as a person. He Believed himself he doesn’t deserve love but he does. I probably would have done the same like Roland or even hug him too.

And he doesn't realize how kind he is!! More to come when he is told that

[@Trademarked26]

Roland is one of my favorite characters in anime, I very rarely see a villain that so thoroughly despises the mc and friends, convinced that he was in the wrong and end up helping them. Made me strangely happy to see reasoning actually worked for once.

[@prestigev6131]

It was literally as simple as Roland having an open mind. He was brought up to believe vampires were all evil. When noe shows him something different, his genuinely curiosity makes him rethink his teachings and make his own decisions. His character ark is basically what we wish people on Twitter would do. Admit when your wrong and use actual evidence

[@Zerolink30]

Roland is the best bro anyone could ask for

[@LISA.WANG.]

Indeed Roland is great 😆

[@prestigev6131]

My best description of Roland is the most devout catholic you can think of, but is also very open minded and smart. Basically a walking, talking, lovable contradiction

[@hanabishaven]

Saaamme. I legitimately thought the blue eyed guy (Vanitas?) was Miyamura from Horimiya for a sec 🤣 I'm definitely gonna watch this

[@xkyoshi11]

Watch it! It's really great.

[@temshopping]

ngl, after watching so much anime, I literally put no trust on Roland, but thank god this scene came up. He is now fully 70% trustworthy

[@NAH1907]

What about the other 30%?

[@temshopping]

@@NAH1907 still not fully trustworthy. We know how plot twists go.

[@kevinthefabulous1118]

I think Roland will end up being one of the most trustworthy characters tbh, I expect that the ones we shouldn't trust are less obvious and closer to the main characters.

1:06 the one time his nonsense actually it appropriate here most of the time those idiots and innocent people are always the light of anyone hearts that are tainted with the negative spiral Vanitas need people like that in his life it would open his world more

[@LordCommander-ui2fw]

Yeah, he might not like Roland very much, but having someone like him in Vanitas's life is long overdue.

[@ayselengin1798]

he had misha at some point for that.

[@Ale-eb5pd]

The author was very good at making Roland look like an irritating puppet in the hands of the church, then he managed to completely reverse the situation. Roland alternates comic moments with very serious moments that make him look super cool! He is now one of my favorite characters in the series!

[@NAH1907]

1:02 The person with the top hat, had that look that he was not ready for today.

[@matchmakeramethyst]

Same thought here

[@anikixvi]

this reminded me of the scene in Pandora Hearts with Oz and Elliot "If I'm the only hurt that's, that's fine /Even if everyone leaves me it'll be alright" ... Not that i don't appreciate such sentiments, but I wonder if the author is alright

[@omegasage777]

Anyone capable of writing Pandora Hearts is def NOT alright 😭 And from the chapters I read of Vanitas...yep, definitely not 😂😭 PH is heartbreaking asf

[@EmperorSeramir]

I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

[@Jil1807]

Vanitas and Jeanne are so adorable

[@fandujapon]

Roland being a puppet for the church at the beginning made me react just the same as Vanitas did. But then he changed and was able to reason by himself so he immediately became one of my favs. Jun Mochizuki is very good at writing characters!
