This was kind of stupid? Why not just erase her memories of him as Zero?
This solution will be hard to explain to everyone, and was quite unnecessary. Even if it was because it could be problematic for her to love him, couldn't he just use the geass to make her uninterested in him or something like that?

He wanted to keep her safe

He wanted to keep her safe

And as said there could be many other solutions that would keep her safe, without raising suspicion because of her memory loss.

1) He could have just erased her memories of him as Zero
2) He could have erased her memories of the last couple of days (could be explained with her fathers dead resulting in a memory loss)
3) If he thought her being in love with him could be dangerous for her, he could make her uninterested in him or make her avoid him, so she wouldn't get into dangerous situations because of him

This was just a weird solution that will be really hard to explain to everyone, and could raise suspicion later on since some people are already beginning to realize their memory loss after being in touch with Zero, so someone might be able to link those two things together lather on. Like if the military finds out zero can make you lose parts of your memory, and Suzaku recalls the time where Shirley suddenly lost all her memories of Lelouch, he might get suspicious of Lelouch?

Idk this is just how think of this whole thing, and I find it weird that an excellent strategist like Lelouch would make such a risky move when there are other ways to deal with the problem.

Damn this episode gave me some feels. I don't even like Shirley that much. Literally at the same level of ambivalence to the character, Lelouch is at the halfway point. Sure she was cute, but her type of character is never going to be the most interesting in a series like this. And her jealousy routine got pretty redundant pretty quick. All that's over there now though, and damned if I don't feel sad about it. Even though Lelouch is speech at the end while effective, is a little rich considering he was still debating killing her to shut her up about ten minutes before. Yet another life thrown on the pyre to help Lelouch's unstoppable revenge machine. At least Shirley got one really cute scene with him where he comforted her, before he turned her brain all the Notebook. Can't believe I haven't brought him up yet but Mao was crazy. I thought his design was a little much. But it's hype we've finally met another Geass user. He seems a formidable opponent too, as C.C. explains especially for someone like Lelouch. Oh and C.C. outfit was really great at the end of this episode.

Rewatching this episode reminds me how well the use the OST in code geass. The song right when Lelouch uses his Geass on Shirley enhances the moment so much. Love this show even more

Shirley didn't shoot Lelouch. Guess she did see his face. Anime logic.
Interesting letter Shirley wrote. Something about she can't think straight.
Nunnally words struck Nina, who is impure after hurting table-kun.
LMAO at Rivalz trying to put him head on Milly's lap. Apparently, that is exclusive to Lelouch.
What the hell did Cecile make for Lloyd?
Pantsu!
Shirley on some Helga from Hey Arnold! shit.
It's that guy we've been seeing for the past few episodes.
lol at C.C.'s outfit.
So that's how Shirley saw his face.
Even that shades dude is throwing that kiss in Shirley's face. lol
He has Geass?
LMAO at C.C. saying she can draw in batuan style.
C.C. knows him? His name is Mao.
C.C. took that dudes bike. lol
Hold up. Mao has two Geass symbols in his eyes. So why does Lelouch have one?
Ogi found Villetta.
LMAO Mao is a troll. Dude left to go get a bigger gun.
He had a recording of C.C. playing. His obsession with C.C. is real.
Lelouch made Shirley forget it all.

wutt, I didn't expect him to make her forget everything about Lelou.
it mean she also lost her love toward Lelou.
can't he just told her to forget who Zero is?

that mao guy, I think it has something to do with him clapping.

now that the woman survive, how Lelou able to survive without being exposed?

Ok... if Shirley's collection wasn't creepy enough, the episode gave us a C² stalker too. And just what did Lelouch wanted to do by taking them for the trip? Make for a more dramatic slow-motion scene?

And just in case, add a sudden change in the superpower rules to be sure to provide drama. I can't wait to witness the impact or lack of it on the school life part.

2/5 "An important person... probably". XD

@CodeBlazeFate I bet you have an explanation for the memory loss being promoted from side-effect within a few minutes to desired effect for a whole life.

Quite rare to find a show that flows so naturally like this; plotline, directing, pacing and character development just flows really well.

Not too sure why Lelouch erased himself from Shirley's memory, that kind of seemed unnecessary and problematic. It's true that he wouldn't know when she started suspecting him but considering how she still was mourning the death of her father, the rest of her memory should be intact.

I don’t normally comment on episodes but this one was especially bad. The plot armor on certain characters is starting to get annoying. Every character acted so unnaturally in this specific episode I really hope this show gets better or it’s getting like a 5 from me. Mao is a terrible character and Shirley is probably worse. This anime really likes to not explain the 1000 plot holes surrounding it. I sincerely hope I don’t have to watch the rest of this anime at this low quality writing or I might just drop it.

yo, what the fuck. i don't watch this show to feel sad.

There are two Geass users now? Interesting. And they are of different types too. Does this mean there are other Geass users besides Mao and Lelouch? Shirley's brain getting wiped made me really sad. I hope she comes back someday. How will this affect her school life? Will she still be apart of the council? We'll probably find out soon.

Looks like there are different types of Geasses people can get, mind reading will be a tough obstacle to face. Sad that Lelouch erased Shirley's memories, even though I'm not a fan of her character that much I feel bad for Lelouch at least.

must have been hard to make shirley forget him, but how is he going to explain this? won't people at school get suspicious? he could have just made her forget that he was zero

Removing all the memories and experiences you've had with someone, some would say that's worse than dying. If you die you are removed from the future of your loved ones, but Lelouch has removed himself from Shirley's past as well.

I heard spoilers that she will be killed of, didn't expect it to be this. Yeah, losing your memories is as good as dying. Actually, I think it's more painful because when you die, you embrace the fact that someone's no longer here and move on. Unlike this, Shirley's basically dead, but she's alive and can't force yourself to forget her, because how?

Edit: Well shit.

Well looks like C.C. is jealous of Shirley.

Mao looks like a severe threat. Must have been an ex boyfriend of C.C.

Well, Lelouch erasing Shirley's memories without her consent is too much dark even for this show. Lelouch resembles a villain more than a hero now.

But I guess he did it for her own good. Shirley was a pretty suicidal mess as seen in episode beginning where she begins to write what looks eerily similar to a suicide letter.

Wiping her memories is probably the best way for him to ensure she never interferes in his life again and stays ok.

But damn Mao immediately roasting Shirley within few seconds of meeting her. Damn he roasted her wayyyyyyyyy bad. Especially for a mind reader.

Well, Lelouch not only lost his best friend, but even himself within one episode.

Way tooo dark episode. As if the previous episodes weren't dark enough already, this just ramps it up to 11.



Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

I'm kinda disappointed that Lelouch made Shirley forget everything. I found her character development to be interesting, I wanted to see more of that. But if it can serve Lelouch's development, well... I just hope it's not just a sacrifice for the sake of drama. (Also, I'm kinda surprised to see people on this thread talking about this memory loss like it's something super deep. Code Geass really isn't the first nor the last show to use that trope, and I didn't feel like it is the one that used it the best either.)

I like Mao though, he is fun and intriguing. I'm curious to see what exactly is his relationship with C.C.. And speaking of which, I really liked C.C.'s outfit in this ep, but I wonder why exactly did she decide to wear that, because if it is in an attempt not to stand out that's kinda... A total failure. I mean, I'd be much more intrigued to see a girl looking like a gothic doll than a one in a simple white suit.

Maou was probably the former partner of C.C, Lelouch brainwashed Shirley. And she doesn't know a single thing about Lelouch anymore. Well, he lost a precious friend. Will probably affect him a lot in this serie. C.C's dress was really cute.
