In episodes 7 and 8 of _Selector Infected Wixoss_ , Akira calls Ruko and
Yuzuki to an abandoned building. Akira shows them the scar that appeared on
her face after her third Wixoss loss and tells them that her wish was to
destroy Iona. This exchange suggests that Akira retains her memories of her
experiences as a Selector.

In contrast, after Hitoe suffers three losses, she does not recognise Ruko and
Yuzuki after they find her on the street. Even when she looks at her Wixoss
notebook, she is unable to remember Ruko and Yuzuki. This is in accordance
with Hanayo's statement that upon three losses, the Selector will lose her
memories associated with being a Selector.

With this in mind, why does Akira retain her memories? Perhaps Hanayo's
explanation of the loss penalties was incomplete?

That is half true; Hitoe specifically lost her memories of being a Selector.
Memory loss is not a consequence of losing three battles; the consequence is
that the selector in question's wish becomes corrupted.

For Hitoe specifically, this corruption involved the loss of her memories of
her friends and of being a selector (as well as experiencing pain from
anything that would remind her of those memories), because her wish was to
make friends, and she had already done so via WIXOSS battles.

For Akira, whose wish was for Iona's modelling career to be ruined, the
corruption caused her own modelling career to be ruined via a facial scar
preventing her from modelling.
