Hmmm


but how does telling daru that makise was going to be killed changed the world that much?


i dont think i understand john titor teory about changing the past , i just think he junped in time?
and why didnt the others d-mail caused an effect in the world? even if they were stupid things , telling that to daru changed a lot.
or maybe it wasnt the same thing in EP 1.


The messages he sent before were sent to his own cellphone and were pretty much meaningless.

AS for why so much changed. For same reason on why this time that message, seemingly unrelated, changed the ideas they would have been discussing and made the shop Makise went to have Dr.Pepper:

.


but how does the butterfly effect changed the past??


i mean , aside from saving makise , he changed the fact that john titor appeared in year 2000. i doubt it is a consequence of that mail.

To watch Steins; Gate, I think one really has to first accepts the concept of parallel timeline. Okabe's consciousness simply "jumped" to another parallel timeline that Makise didn't died in.

Seeing how the story is going, the ending is going to be quite tragic. Okabe saves everyone, but no one will remember what he did, while he bears all the burdens to himself.

Ah, the plot finally thickens. Though I admit I'd somewhat enjoyed the laid-back, otaku-ish atmosphere, getting a few crumbs of answers felt good. So far this show is exceeding my expectations, I hope it won't get cliche or predictable (what with the messiah and all).

Phenomenal episode. I rarely saw such a well-crafted time-travelling/mystery story, and that's mainly due to the direction being awesome.

Whoa, just another great episode. I was just mindblown when I saw Okabe getting messed up when he sent that message.

Okay, now time for theory time.

The only thing that bugs me is why he couldn't remember when he sent Ruka to buy his ticket. Technically he changed all his surroundings but not his mind. It is quite weird since he practically changed his own mind to send Ruka to buy the lotto ticket. Seems to me like he exchanged souls or something. Maybe it's just too chaotic too try and resolve the mystery. Maybe we should just sit back a little longer and see where it gets. This is a 24 episode show so we will have a long ride ahead of us xD

^It wasn't revealed but for me it's like an Okarin in the future tryin' to tell Kurisu that her life is in danger but she still died anyhow.

even there is no bad ending like this.

I think this series deserves to watch to the end. (so that I'm here)

Can someone refresh my memory?

How does Suzuha know of John Titor? Are we in a world that he is known again, or has she known of him even after the first change?


The emblem she is holding. Look it up.

Everything in this show is based on the things that happened in the real world. That emblem is there too.

---------------

Anyway this pretty much confirms parallel timelines AND denies the possibility of initiator retaining memories, since technically that Okabe has been left in the parallel universe in which he sent the message. Now why the hell this Okabe and every other Okabe we have seen have memories of those shifts?


Also - YAY for butterfly effect phenomenon being displayed.

A butterfly flaps his wings on the one side of the world, a hurricane happens on the other. The main principle and danger with time travel - SMALLEST details changed can lead to very very different things, starting chain reactions no one could understand.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_Effect
This is exactly what we saw with Dr.Pepper bottle and why okabe's message made it happen.
I did and its actually pretty freaky, creepy in a sense tht someone named "John Titor" was on message boards claiming to be a time traveler.

I think he/she was speculating. ^^;;
Can't really blame him either; the opening and ending songs make the show's plot sound rather ominous.

Awesome episode, anyway. I'm glad we're getting to the main plot; the humour was nice and all and I love seeing Okabe interact with the cast, but I think they used a bit too much of it over the last few episodes, and it was starting to get repetitive. A heavier focus on the plot should balance out that silliness and help it stay fresh.

Not only that. A satellite crashed into a building. Still wondering how that message was even able to effect that much. What confuses me even more is the fact that Daru said he thought the message was spam. So how was it suppose to effect anything in the past? Can't wait for the next episodes, I'm dying to know o_o

It can be rather confusing, but in the world with time travelling you can create a self-inducing chain reaction of time-changes with one small, insignificant change.
For example: He sent message to Daru, who thought that it was a spam, but when Okarin saw this, he understood that their phone-microwave (temporary name) can send messages into past. Now he began to experiment with D-Mail, further changing the past. This changes could affect other D-Mail experiments, creating self-inducing chain reaction of time-changes, if you allow me to repeat myself...
But that's just guessing, of course...

In response to that, IMO what bothers me is that there is no showing of him remembering the changes in the distant past only the past that is short such as 10 minutes ago. Is that a fact or it will be revealed that he will remember further into the past of the changes he made to himself and what he himself went through?

Cool shit bro! That's great to know. This is good. 2 episodes per chapter really does make the chapter nor rushed. This series should be a example for the "Series rushed and chapters skip" problem with many anime adaptations. Thus why 20 and more episodes are the best series in general.

The change "moved" him from 2000 to 2010, before the change he posted in 2000 before disappearing, after the change and in the current world he first appeared in 2010, and he is currently posting.


Yes, but what I want to know is, hypothetically as someone who hasn't played the VN or looked up spoilers, how does she know who John Titor is? Was it just her able to hear Okabe talk about him because she said she can hear them from their opened window? Or is it just because she also knows Titor from @channel, but somehow knows Okabe is in talks with him?

Or does she keep all her memories despite which timeline she is in? Because


I'm just thinking along the lines as someone who doesn't know who she really is. If she was as regular as anyone else - say, like...Mayuri - how come she would know who John Titor was, and someone like Daru doesn't?

hmmm...I'll just have to re-watch the episodes, me thinks.

I like how the series is trying to pull in real events and people. Just in case people don't actually know who John Titor is I'd like to explain. It should shed light on where this story may be heading and who might actually be John.
