In animes only, I have heard repeating words like 俺は. For example: 「俺は、俺は」.
Question is, what does this try to achieve? If memory serve me right, I recall
it only being used by someone in a very bad state of mind. For example:
死んだら、俺は俺は, and the sentence never complete. Literal translation gives "if you
die, I, I", which in english at least doesn't makes sense. So what does that
sentence mean in japanese?

repeating words such as 俺は
The person is hesitant to finish the sentence. I have heard this in English my
whole life. Books, movies; for dramatic effect. I've even done it myself.
Maybe not say "I" twice but at least once and then not finish the sentence.
What's strange about it?

answer
It's merely an incomplete sentence. It's indeed "If [I/you] die, I, I, ..."
and nothing more. Maybe you missed the the remaining part of this sentence in
the next page. Or maybe he was simply too upset or weak to finish this
sentence. Or maybe he wanted to continue this sentence but was interrupted by
another character. Usually something like 悲しいよ, 困るぞ or どうしたらいいか分からない would
follow, but it entirely depends on the context.
