Can a Geass be removed?

[danny-roboguy.livejournal.com]

We all know that a Geass effect can be cancelled, but can a Geass itself be removed or negated without the possesor being killed or a transfer of the Code?

So far the only solution I've came up with is if Lelouch commanded another Geass user to never use his/her geass ever again. What do you guys think?

she also recorded Lelouch's memories with the kiss she gave him in ep 25 and retransferred them in him with the kiss she gave him in R2 ep 1.
See, I don't get that. If she backed up his memories outside the cave and reloaded them in Turn 1, how come Lelouch got back all those memories that he had in between C.C. leaving to fight Jeremiah and Daddy's mindrape? The memories of the gunfight and Suzaku selling him out were backed up nowhere. As far as I can tell, someone or something literally broke Charles' geass.

I know that the canon explanation (somewhere) is that the kiss was a memory backup, but it still makes no sense to me. -_-

I don't either so here's the explanation I thought.
She made a memory back up and passed it to Lelouch.
Receiving it Lelouch found the purpose/will/energy/whatever to break free from the Geass his father put on him. Breaking free he recovered all the memories in between.
In short the memory's backup was the tiny hole that, in the end, broke the dam...
After all it might have been difficult for Lelouch to muster the will to free himself from his father's Geass if he hadn't known the truth... a bit like Euphy needs to see Suzaku to fight Lelouch's Geass and Nunnally needs to find Damocles' key at any cost to overcome her father's Geass as well...
CC's back up just gives Lelouch the reason to fight the Geass off.
But that's just my speculation.

I guess that's a good way to think of it. So Charles' geass is less of a memory "rewrite" as much of a memory "detour". The memories are still there within the individual. However, the victim's thoughts are simply diverted from those memories and made to believe something else. However, if the individual believes strongly enough that those blocked memories exist, they can overcome the blockage.

a bit like Euphy needs to see Suzaku to fight Lelouch's Geass
Huh? The two times his "Live!" geass activated, he didn't fight it at all. In fact, he never fights his geass. It either takes complete hold of him, or he actively uses it to his advantage.

I think so. The memories aren't completely erased or distorted... they're kind of simply covered up with false ones. Remove the cover and you get the original.

Huh? I wasn't talking about Suzaku but Euphy. She had been ordered to kill all the Japanese. She know Suzaku's one of them and she should kill him but, when she sees him she kind of manage to ignore that order, to push it away from her mind. It might be she was dying... but also that her 'don't hurt Suzaku' will gave her the strenght to fight Lelouch's Geass...

My bad, I completely misread that line.
