Plot
Season 2
Zel is given orders from the Golden Dragons to throw herself in front of Rose Haibara's car in order to infiltrate Primavera and eventually assassinate Rose. However, the car accident gives Zel genuine amnesia, causing her to forget her true identity for around two months. During this time, she befriends Oliver Oribe, Charles Chatani, and Nina Ninagi. Upon remembering her original mission, she nearly assassinates Rose but stops herself. This leads to her identity being revealed and being excommunicated from Primavera.
After the death of Yuanhong Wang, Zel and her father leave the country, though Zel promises her friends that she will eventually return.
