COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! Shirley is finally out of the picture! I hated her so much during the last few episodes. I don't even care if we never see her again, actually that's what I hope. Lulu was becoming too lovey dovey for my liking, he needs to be heartless, cold and cunning.
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

Sharing the sentiment with everyone else. It was quite the depressing episode;_;
But the feels prove we are attached to the characters am I right? Still I wonder what explanation is given to the student council...

I feel like I'm the only one who wants LeLouch to be an emotionless monster. Anyways, I really couldn't sympathize with Shirley as much as I hoped I would (Even though her experience so far has been extremely f****d up).

Great episode!

I do think LuLu has a heart. He did the memory wipe because for one, he was punishing himself (losing a good friend), and two, he thought her life would be better without him. Think about it, he KNEW that she was in pain after feeling betrayed by the person she loves. By leaving her alone, she is just going to be in more pain. The only alternatives are to kill her (not a good one) or just wipe her memories of him so she can start fresh in a way. If he doesn't wipe those memories, she's going to live with the pain. I think LuLu does care about his friends and that's why he's always so conflicted when these things happen.

That episode was sad. Even though Shirley isn't that great and events like these have been done before, just the event of someone close forgetting about you for the "greater good" is just heartbreaking. They did a nice job executing that scene. Poor Lelouch :'(

Wonder how they're going to explain everything else at school...

One of the best eps IMO.

MAO says he never played chess and he won against chess-master LELOUCH. WOW. When his power is shown, we see he didn't lie.

My opinion about the end: FF9 states that to be forgotten is worse than death. Lelouch liked Sherley and she liked him back too, making his action of erasing her memories really altruistic IMO (erasing her memories so she doesn't suffer anymore). At the cemetary, she asks if Lelouch also lost someone, he replies yes. SOOO full of win. There are some things only fiction can do ;)

I thought that Masquerade song was good and really fit the ending. I just wonder what is the english part she sings in the beginning, it's really hard to hear...


I think the insert song is showing us a part of lelouch TT^TT towards Shirley TT^TT
well the english translation says this:

While my heart is still locked
With a cold attitude, I don a mask on my body
Who knows
My true face? Besides you

Without ever giving a thought about exposing
My own weaknesses and strengths
I hid my tears
From people who can show their true faces

I can’t lose you, who I kept searching for

You’re My Destiny
I want to try and believe
I still don’t understand the meaning of eternity
But You’re My Destiny
If I compose tomorrow’s dream
Then it’ll become my destiny
Say you’ll share with me one love

In order to seize it in my hands
I calmly hurt others and lived to this point
But loneliness
Was the only thing left in the hands of who I am

I won’t desire anything if you’re by my side

You’re My Destiny
Open your heart
I want to confess my unyielding thoughts
You’re My Destiny
The bond that I feel
Is the destiny of our meeting
Say you’ll share with me one love

You’re My Destiny
I want to try and believe…
You’re My Destiny
In tomorrow’s dream…

You’re My Destiny
Open your heart
I want to confess my unyielding thoughts
You’re My Destiny
The bond that I feel
Is the destiny of our meeting
Say you’ll share with me one love

Welp, -1 member to Lelouch's harem. Hopefully that'll shut up all the people groaning about Lelouch x Shirley.

Personally, I thought she was a fine character and she got GREAT development this episode. The ending was positively tragic - for both Lelouch and Shirley. I can only fathom how hard it was for Lelouch to do that, considering it was quite obvious he had feelings for her as well. It all could've been avoided if he hadn't fucked up AGAIN by not calculating Lancelot's presence in the previous battle. The consequences hit him pretty hard this time around.

But how the hell does he plan on explaining it to the scrubs at school when Shirley has no clue who the hell he is?

Okay, I loved this episode....
up until the last part.
I mean, let's be honest here...
Isn't it a really HUGE risk erasing her memory of him???
Isn't that going to be pretty suspicious to everyone that knows that Shirley loved Lelouch?
Unless they blame her memory loss on her father's death... but that still seems really odd, that she'd suddenly forget everything about one person whom she loved so much.
This can't end well.


This. I can understand erasing her memory from the past few days. "Shirley forget everything that has happened from the 12th up to now" but erasing her entire memory of you? That raises too many questions and made no sense. Tense moment though with the whole standoff. Plus Lelouch didn't ask Shirley who else saw. He just assumed should've confirmed before wiping out her memory or ask C2 to do some digging.
Don't forget, Lelouch felt like shit after realizing what he did ended up killing Shirley's father. He wants to make sure Shirley doesn't stand in harm's way ever again and to do that, complete erasure.

Poor Shirley, I had people like Lelou who would do stuff like that... He just should've made her forget about everything connecting him and Zero and not a whole bunch out of her life. Mao was annoying too, that was the first bad episode, I hope it doesn't go downhill from here on :(

Not really important, but I'm confused, did Shirley kiss Lelouch or was it the other way around?

...And that Mao guy has two geass eyes? Good grief. This is going to get interesting.


I hadn't realized that up until now. I wonder if it's like Danzo's Izanagi, where he can regenerate one eye while using the other, or if Mao possesses 2 different Geas' ...

This was the turning point in the series where it went from being average to being a great show, the amount of will it would take to sacrifice your memories with someone is astounding and the amount of emotion that was put into the scene at the end was very well done.

It would have been more interesting if she had kept her memories. But also I wonder who is the girl that Sharely thought that Leacuh loved.


I also ask myself how would the series keep going if she had her memories about that all. Would be amazing to see huh

So what's gonna happen when Shirley goes back to school? what the others gonna say when she "suddenly" doesn't know who Lelouch is.
That was a real dumb move, he should've killed her instead.
