Pancakes (what the fuck lexy) no it's funny i promise.
He has a fatal blunder early in the game - makes a passing comment about pancakes, which Morgana (a cat no one should understand, unless they’ve visited the Metaverse) had just spoken about. This sets up Akechi’s downfall in November, when the phantom thieves cotton onto his shenanigans and murder/suicide setup for the protagonist, along with his betrayal. They only realize he’s plotting anything because of a mistake made months ago.
In third semester, he gets irate whenever pancakes come up because such a small mistake ruins his entire years-long scheme. It doesn't change his personality, outside of the fact he CAN enjoy a singular pancake without losing his mind about it. He will also not realize why the Phantom Thieves figured out his plan, which will drive him nuts.
Lost memory #2:
The entire day of February 2.
This is the final day they’re able to stop Maruki without fighting and deliver the calling card to steal his treasure. This is also when you find out Akechi is likely dead and Maruki holds his life hostage in a tense interaction. The result of this moment allows Akechi to merge Robin Hood and Loki to get Hereward
Without this memory, he doesn't understand why he has Hereward and not Robin Hood/Loki. Akechi's aware of his potential death, but doesn't have it fully confirmed until this moment. He tests the protagonist's resolve, and puts his trust in a decision made at the end of this day. It slightly alters his personality because he forgot the protagonist truly put his heart into defeating Maruki. There's still an edge of distrust over how the protagonist will react in the end.
Altered memory: Shido died. His personality remains the same, but Shido's death was never going to bring him happiness, especially from the hands of someone else. It will be a bitter, crushing sort of realization for him.
In reality, Shido's heart was changed by the Phantom Thieves. He owned up to his crimes and is currently in the process of being convicted/investigated for all he confessed to.
