Memory Gambit	comment	A scheme involving allowing your own memories to be erased or altered in order to fool others or yourself, with a trigger set up to restore them. This can be used to trick the enemy into believing you're on their side, because even YOU think you are. It's also an effective technique against overconfident mind-readers. If a Magnificent Bastard or Chessmaster has the power to manipulate memories, they will certainly attempt one of these. This can very easily turn into a Gambit Roulette because The Plan is supposed to work without the chief planner conscious that there's a plan at all, let alone able to adapt it to account for unanticipated circumstances (see Neuro-Vault). If you aren't careful, this can result in Amnesiac Dissonance and become far more complicated. Merely having a backup plan for if your memories are erased is Note to Self. A person who has an evil idea may not want to keep their memories at all. If they're gone forever, they donâ€™t have to worry about giving it up accidentally, but more importantly, they donâ€™t need to suffer through My God, What Have I Done? angst over having deliberately performed an evil act. Compare Faking Amnesia, when a character only pretends to lose their memories in order to throw off others. See also Kansas City Shuffle. May be paired with a Psychic Block Defense. Transferable Memory may be used to this end. Can be used by a Chessmaster to ensure that a lie told before the Memory Gambit is more convincing. May lead to a Tomato in the Mirror. Compare Double Think which can be used the same way.

Memory Gambit / int_1331990c	comment	In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, there seems to be one of these, possibly accidental, going on when Kyubey makes a contract with Homura. Madoka's insane power level comes from Homura repeatedly traveling through time to save her. Kyubey doesn't remember making the contract, but he realizes why Madoka is so powerful immediately after he learns that Homura can time-travel and congratulates her, suggesting that he contracted with her because he hoped she would do this. His bizarre morals forbid outright lying, but since he genuinely doesn't know why Madoka is so powerful, he doesn't tell anyone, and Homura's time-warping continues unwittingly making the situation worse for Madoka and better for Kyubey. In Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion Madoka pulls one - she voluntarily gives her memories to Sayaka and Bebe, which allows them to operate, while she serves as a distraction.

She's pissed at Phillip for both real and perceived slights and decides to not only break up with him but to also prevent a future version of her from ever getting back together with him. So she implants a memory of Phillip cheating on her and then erases the memory of performing the implantation. So now, any time Phillip tries to explain the truth, Brit just shakes her head and tells him to stop it, as she "knows what she saw".

When the culprit, Gonta, entered Monokuma's deadly VR game he mixed up the cords for the headset which prevented his memories from within the game being carried over to his real body. Kokichi is absolutely livid during the trial that Gonta seemingly forgot the plan they went over, but when he realizes what occurred, he states that it worked in Gonta's favor as he couldn't implicate himself due to not even knowing that he committed the crime.

He ends up erasing his memories away again at the end. This was then retconned in the character's later appearances, to the point of becoming a Continuity Snarl.

Throughout the game, Batman is under the constant threat of the Joker's personality taking over his body, due to being injected with Joker's infected blood back in Arkham City. Each time Batman receives a dose of Scarecrow's fear toxin, the Joker personality gets stronger, since Batman's greatest fear is that he's similar to his enemies. At the end of the game, when Batman is at Scarecrow's mercy, he manages to beat him by letting the Joker personality take over. Joker, of course, can't resist taunting Scarecrow, who responds by injecting "Batman" with more toxin, only this time, since Joker's in charge, he's the one who is affected by it, which allows Batman to have a Battle in the Center of the Mind with him and seal him away forever, since Joker's greatest fear is being forgotten.

Turns out she had her own memory erased after engaging in some super-complicated undercover operation to make sure the bad guys don't find out where she hid some important artifact. Too bad the bad guys find the artifact anyway, and eventually she is informed about the events of those two years, just so she knows what the bad guys are actually up to.

It involves such things as predicting exactly what he would do, what fragments of the past 24 hours he would end up remembering, when and how these memories would be triggered, how he was going to wrongly interpret them, that said wrong interpretations would drive him to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge, and even the exact time he was going to jump. It resulted in him safely landing right in the middle of his party (which was on a boat), right on top of the Moon Bounce he specifically requested to cushion his fall and save him from his predicted suicide.

But then, May manages to get Coulson the file that reveals who supervised the project... and it was Coulson himself, under Nick Fury's orders. T.A.H.I.T.I. was a project designed to resurrect a fallen Avenger if worst came to worst, but Coulson not only recommended cancellation of the project, he even handed in his resignation because of it. Coulson revealed that the only apparent way to be able to survive Project T.A.H.I.T.I. sane was through Fake Memories, since the process was so traumatic it'd drive the subject insane. And that's exactly what they did.

Until he retriggers the memories, he doesn't even believe Alex when she tells him. Alex herself (along with the rest of the DEO) agrees to a more permanent erasure of the knowledge, via J'onn J'onzz.

Really, he Created a fake version of his dormant state, merged it to the first person he came across, the proceeded to take on the identity of another random person who had just been killed, and the appearance of the best friend of the reason he was in this mess, who he killed himself, all for his own protection until his powers could recover. Then again, since Tenebrae was fully aware of this the whole time, and took every opportunity to make fun of Emil (i.e. Ratatosk) while he had the chance, it could conceivably be classed as his gambit.

Memory Gambit / int_567ff89	comment	The Arnold Schwarzenegger film The 6th Day has an interesting variation on this. The villains have the ability to scan the memory of a living or recently-deceased person, and thereby see what that person has seen. In order to get around this problem, Adam and his clone (both played by Schwarzenegger) concoct a plot together in which real-Adam carefully avoids falling into the field of vision of clone-Adam. That way, clone-Adam can run into the evil laboratory as a distraction, disarming the security cameras along the way, but when he falls into the clutches of the villains, their scan of his recent memory does not reveal that real-Adam is waiting just outside, planning to enter unseen while the security cameras are still disabled. The villains eventually do figure out what is going on, but it buys the hero enough time to accomplish his main objectives. It's all a little tough to follow in writing, but it is fairly cleverly done in the film.

Gensei has gained control of Exterior, a clone of Misaki's brain that lets him use the same telepathic abilities as her. For his plan, he needs a code to release Exterior's limiters so that he can use its full potential. Misaki swaps her memories of the limiter release code and the self-destruct code, and erases her memories of doing so. As a result, when Gensei reads her mind and inputs (what he thinks is) the limiter release code, he instead destroys Exterior and knocks himself out.

In various guises, genders and names she serves Heaven, both Sidereal factions and 4 Deathlords. The reason she has not been found out is because she has hidden her true allegiance from even herself. For the curious, her true allegiance is to Heaven, according to the Underworld book. Her ultimate goal is to learn some singular weakness that will lead to the defeat of the Deathlords once and for all. Making any attempt to pull this off intentionally, though, is going to tip somebody off who will in turn tip everyone else off and completely screw the plan. Making herself mostly crazy and hoping to stumble onto it more or less by accident is the best she can do. However, there's a chance she may unintentionally help the Deathlords destroy Creation before she succeeds.

Though he doesn't know why he set it at first, hearing the word unblocks the subconscious memories of his secret project to develop countermeasures to the rest of the Justice League members. When he is finished working, or if certain mind readers come within a hundred miles, another trigger is used to suppress the memories until the next session, so that said mind readers would never be able to accidentally glean this information from him. Typical Batman. Unfortunately, it also served as the perfect cover for Talia stealing all those countermeasures — she simply programmed the computer to speak the amnesia keywords if Batman ever discovered it had been tampered with. When Hugo Strange re-emerges in the Transference storyline following the events of Prey in which he learned Batman's Secret Identity, Batman enacts a plan to activate a whole alternate personality as the buffoonish Bruce Wayne to throw him off the trail, and is only restored to his usual self when Nightwing recites the pledge which Batman swore with him on his first night as Robin as a Trigger Phrase. Batman does this again during the events of Batman (Grant Morrison) when Dr. Hurt attempts to convince Batman that he's insane with a nested alternate persona, revealing the method in the madness of the "Batman of Zurr-En-Arrh" personality; this persona was intended as a backup for Batman should he be mind-wiped, still permitting him to act in something resembling his usual persona.

Near the end of the novel, it's revealed she received a posthumous letter from her great-aunt Emma, asking her to come to Blackrock to collect her inheritance. The letter also warned her about a young psychic in the employ of Attikol, her rival for the inheritance. In order to keep the psychic from learning what she knew, she temporarily erased all of her memories, but not before making sure that she'd have backup in place in the form of an android named Raven. She later has to repeat the process when her accomplice in the plan uses a Trigger Phrase to restore her memories before the right time. Finally, she does a variant of this by erasing the memories of the accomplice (with her permission) and causing her to assume the identity of "Earwig" (Emily's amnesiac persona) for a short time because she was about to make a bet that would result in her having to join her enemy's traveling show, but she couldn't actually go herself.

Memory Gambit / int_8f25225c	comment	Danganronpa: Likely a factor in Izuru Kamukura's plan in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. He willingly put the virus containing the consciousness of his sworn enemy into a program that would temporarily erase his memories. In the end, he got his old personality back and implicitly kept part of his superior talent in hopes of bringing back all of his comatose classmates. Done unintentionally in Chapter 4 of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. When the culprit, Gonta, entered Monokuma's deadly VR game he mixed up the cords for the headset which prevented his memories from within the game being carried over to his real body. Kokichi is absolutely livid during the trial that Gonta seemingly forgot the plan they went over, but when he realizes what occurred, he states that it worked in Gonta's favor as he couldn't implicate himself due to not even knowing that he committed the crime. As mentioned above in the Literature section, this also occurs in the Danganronpa Zero prequel novel.

Memory Gambit / int_a2c37f38	comment	The protagonist loses his memory often in Planescape: Torment. Because he has to die in order to do so (and the present incarnation is immune to it), neither he or any of his previous lives appear to have done so intentionally. One character does tell this story, though: A man suddenly finds himself sitting on a bench with no idea where he is or how he got there — in fact, he has no memory at all. There is an old crone sitting next to him. She says, "Well?" The man looks confused, and the old woman explains, "I gave you three wishes. Your second wish was to undo your first wish, and you still have one more. What will it be?" The man says, "I wish I knew who I was!" The crone laughs and says, "That's funny! That was your first wish!" Though the memory loss wasn't intentional, some personalities devised gambits for others to recover memories; journals and recordings, personal contacts, body parts which when absorbed by Nameless would grant some memory and aptitude, and the tattoos created by a magical artist.

Its ability is to steal the memories of anyone who violates a rule Daiya sets, returning them only if Daiya steps in the victim's shadow. Despite Daiya being blind, this is much harder than it sounds, as she's memorized the layout of the entire house and the objects within it. Josuke, knowing he might be affected by Daiya's Stand before he can defeat it, sets a trap that counts on not knowing why he would do something like hide Daiya's phone in the refrigerator, which ultimately lures Daiya into stepping onto Josuke's shadow, cast by the fridge light.

Memory Gambit / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: In Knights of the Old Republic, one mission features your party to be caught and your ship confiscated and searched. One escape plan (there are several options, one for each party member except Carth, Bastila and the main PC) features T3-M4 getting a backup chip, so after the regular memory wipe, it can restore its memory and rescue the party. In the sequel, it is suggested that Revan might have been running one of these all along, with the Jedi Council unwittingly playing directly into the plan. The novel Revan reveals that this is not the case and that Revan and Malak really were forced into the Dark Side by The Emperor after failing to kill him, although Revan still can't recall those memories until he gets his mask back.

Memory Gambit / int_ea787cd1	comment	In Forgotten Realms novel Extinction one funny creature thought constantly reading the mind of Gromph Baenre, the Archmage of Menzoberranzan, menacing him with a weapon and its own powers and keeping him slowed is enough to keep him under control, but it was dead wrong—and then just dead. He knew many critters and mages can read thoughts, so he keeps one more dirty trick up his sleeve just for this case, and even himself doesn't know which trick and which sleeve. High-status drow as well as high-level wizards tend to be both Properly Paranoid and Crazy-Prepared.

Memory Gambit / int_ebffc81f	comment	In Mage: The Awakening there is a rote which allows you to set up one of these by literally removing the memory from your mind until a later time. There is a Legacy which can grant this same benefit as a magical ability with the addition that when it expires, you can use it again to suppress the same memory without actually remembering the memory you want to hide.

The character Quilan's memory returns to him in stages during a genocidal and suicidal undercover mission, alternate chapters take the reader through the past events he has forgotten, slowly revealing both what the mission is and what kind of a man would agree to do it.

Memory Gambit / int_f3ef0f86	comment	Artemis Fowl trades his memories about the Fairies' existence for their help in The Eternity Code, but leaves himself plenty of triggers to bring them back. All but one of them are dummies, however, which he actually intends for Faeries to discover, because he knows they know he'd try to leave himself triggers. So after they find over a dozen of dummies, they are lulled into believing that that is it, and Artemis happily regains his memories in the next book, The Opal Deception, using the only real trigger.

Memory Gambit / int_f924f46d	comment	During JLA: Tower of Babel, it is revealed that Batman has his computer set to speak mnemonic trigger words to him at preset times. Though he doesn't know why he set it at first, hearing the word unblocks the subconscious memories of his secret project to develop countermeasures to the rest of the Justice League members. When he is finished working, or if certain mind readers come within a hundred miles, another trigger is used to suppress the memories until the next session, so that said mind readers would never be able to accidentally glean this information from him. Typical Batman. Unfortunately, it also served as the perfect cover for Talia stealing all those countermeasures — she simply programmed the computer to speak the amnesia keywords if Batman ever discovered it had been tampered with.

The crew discover that their memories have been altered and that Data, whose memories are intact, has been lying to them. They eventually discover that they consented to the memory erasure, because the inhabitants of a newly explored planet don't want anyone to know of their existence. They weren't supposed to have figured it out, but they do anyway; at the end of the episode, they decide to try again, and it works.
