That was an amazing episode as usual. I loved how Cristina tried to copy Hououin's laugh. I kind of expected Suzuha to be from the future or at least something along those lines since she was rather suspicious, but I did not expect her to be John Titor.

Also, does anyone understand the spoon and fork thing? I assume it is a meme from 2chan, but a further explanation would be nice if anyone can give one.

Hmm, kinda didn't surprise me when Suzuha turned out to be John Titor, since after she started talking of the 1% divergence I somehow got the feeling she would be him, with her father being Barrel Titor and all :D

Quite an actionless episode this time, but at least it gave some valuable information :D At least it is confirmed that there is a way to save Mayuri, but reaching it seems to be a completely different matter O_o

That was the first thing that popped into my head when he kept failing to save Mayuri ;o



Agreed. Once again, this episode totally grabbed a shotgun and blew my mind away with its sheer awesomeness

I just hope the traveling back through time doesn't become stale like Endless 8


It already has destroyed the horror of what is the endless 8. With that said I hope they do avoid the overuse of the same scenes.

It just keeps getting better and better......(I think I've said that after every episode)

Anyways.....WOW.....I didn't expect her to be John Titor, and hopefully they have a plan to save Mayuri.

So the speculations were true that Suzuha came from the future but to be John Titor wasn't expected.

Suzuha using a male title didn't crossed my mind. >.<

And Kurisu blushing more. <3

She proved to be more useful than just making time leaps and D-Mail work.

So there's still hope for Mayuri to be alive. That was relieving..

If Okarin does change world lines or w/e........Is it possible that Moeka isn't the one currently working for SERN or will she always be the one working for them? /confusedabit

So, this was an awesome episode. I got to see Mayuri die again like a bunch of times, which honestly became annoying. I get Okabe is worried about her, but for me it got annoying really fast. So, I was pretty happy that Mayuri disappeared for the rest of the episode and I got my Okabe and Kurisu scenes. Don't get me wrong..I like Mayuri, but my favorite is without a doubt Kurisu so I was missing her already.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

so... d-mails wont solve the problem it seems.

some people said that okabe d-mail in first episode saved kurisu , but i still think that there's something more...

"Right now what you want most is your own personal fork, but you already have your own spoon?"

What, im confused by that sentence what does it mean?

I wonder why Christina blushed like that after Okabe said it does she have some sort of cutlery fetish? is it a bad translation interpretation?

Wow, Steins;Gate just keeps getting better and better. At first it seems like a big mess of confusion where only little bits here and there make sense, then they start connecting together... falling into place... and now we're starting to get the big picture!

I really did not expect Suzuha to be John Titor, so that there was a huge surprise, but it all makes sense! Gahh, this anime is so hard to describe but I LOVE it. What started out as some weird guy rambling on about who knows what and his two friends who didn't really give a damn has turned into a masterpiece. At least in my opinion.

This is awesome, the plot just gets more interesting and even though it may seem nonsensical, all of a sudden everything snaps into place. I feel really bad for Okabe though. I mean what a nightmare watching your close friend die over and over, in a world where no one has a clue what you're talking about. A world where no matter how hard you desperately try to protect someone, everything seems to conspire against you so they die. Poor guy, I really hope they find a way to save her soon.

I really suck at describing what I mean, but either way I love it so far and can't wait for the next episode. I want to know more about Suzuha too! And even though she said something about Kurisu joining SERN, I really hope that doesn't happen. I mean really, after going through all that and knowing what they're up to why would SHE EVER want to join them!? Gahh, next week seems so far away...

I played VN but couldn't get why Kurisu was embarrassing where she mentioned spoon and fork. Maybe for her, spoon means friend and fork means lover as her own metaphor or something, I guess.

Omg jello scene in a flash. Is that it? I wanna hear that horrific scream of Okabe. Disappointed. They portrayed him as less emotional. In the VN, when Mayuri got shot back in the lab, it just painted Okabe's mind all red and he charged at Moeka screaming "I'LL KILL YAAAAA!!!", but was stopped by Kurisu. And we've yet seen the "best" of Mayuri's deaths, hahahaa... ha. All we got are the gore ones. Tho I doubt they will ever put it into the anime as it's -

*Not really a spoiler*


I'm glad that Suzuha finally explained everything. So every1 can stop arguing and enjoys the show. =]

If Suzuha's Attraction Thoery is indeed correct... she should of realised that her doings will all be in vain. SERN will rule time itself. But if it's Worldline Beta... hum...

This is freaking crazy at the end. When Suzuha in the following,

said “I am from the year 2036 and am John Titor” I was like WTF! O_O Then it went something like Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
I knew it but still it totally got me surprised with the setup it put forward. Suzuha here literally blew me out of my seat with her Alpha/Beta word line theory that is rather well shown here with the way it's portrayed I loved it! Not to mention the divergence number indicator in the spoiler
whom Okabe himself invented.
Which means he does succeed in saving Mayuri possibly because he built that so that a mistake like with Mayuri would not happen. Perhaps he built to save Mayuri in the past as well.

According to what I understood (I am sure Fai and Saka can correct me if I ma wrong) I love you guys in this thread! Anyway from the looks of the threads on this rope they are like many world lines but only in one major world line and all Okabe did was change the circumstances around an event that repeats itself in that major world line thus it is not avoidable but there is something as things being undone, however it's impossible to do that in that major world line because too much has changed, I suppose, to reverse it back. Thing is if you can change major world lines like the ropes here show then changing the occurrences of things without having the death of Mayuri happen is a possibility. In fact Mayuri's death may never happen as long as those things get undone in that major world line that Mayuri's death has not happened at all. In the end we have a time machine able to do that major world line change and I hope that Makise/Suzuha/Okabe do it all together. Save Mayuri please! Save her no matter what!

The other thing that cheered up my super depression still lingering around me is Makise's pose in the following,

now that was great. Her facials of shy and loving nature in the spoiler
got me really good into a better mood somewhat. Like the red fading away of a slap but the pain still being around. In fact it was this very face of Makise with a cursing of her future self. That got me laughing for the first time in this episode. Loved Makise's cause/occurrence board. After all for a occurrence to happen a effect must happen but for that to occur a cause must be responsible. It's precisely that cause that is root that cannot be undone less the major world line occurs to the Beta world line!

  • I cried manly tears with Okabe in the following spoiler
    as he cried I broke down! I can't take Mayuri's death. It's hard on me emotionally.That bitch Moeka and SERN. Damn you all!

  • I got totally broken down by Mayuri's death. This is so hard on me. HEY MAN! I have seen Mayuri die like 7 times! 7 times! Oosran is probably getting orgasmic over it in this episode but I value emotionally a lot Mayuri. Mayuri died 7 times:
    -First time was not that bad.
    -Second was not bad either.
    -As the third times became more graphic it has gotten me much more emotionally. As details are shown it affect me more.
    -Fourth time just kept piling up on the depression.
    -Fifth time here.
    By the end Mayuri's deaths in the spoiler
    got me T_T like never before. I broke down there at that moment. It was a total drenching experience of tears. I mean when you see Mayuri have a gun pointed at her and you see a window being broken like that while Okabe got Mayuri's blood on his face. T_T No more! Mayuri's watch in blood made it worse! :(

  • Loved how Okabe used a toy gun at first and then got a real one from Moeka in the spoiler
    I find Moeka's reasons to be the same lame ass reasons that any other organization would use as a excuse to shut down civilians that know too much. FUCK YOU SERN! That's all I got to say. Damn shit ass organization think they can do like all these major oil tycoons that shut down inventor of cars that don't need their shit ass oil (e.g.). Yeah, I say let the public of this machine and let them use it with some control implemented. Like you can't go back more than a amount. Anyway SERN can eat my shorts and die from that.
Lovely episode. This show is amazing and rocks. It got me raged, depressed and excited in one go again! Wow! Amazing really.

That would require changing world-line from further away point, at least twenty years or so. So yeah, I bet with current tech capabilities he is not capable of that.

I'm pretty sure they did say something in one of the episodes, there being a time limit on the time leap machine and can only go back about 48 hours maximum.

Anyway, glad to see more of Suzuha finally and got the feeling she was John Titor or at least knew him so sadly wasn't much of a surprise but the rest of the episode was absolutely brilliant! Excited for more!

No he does not because the 1% was never crossed. he just jumped on many world lines of the major world line. The only way to really jump to the Beta world line would be Suzuha's time machine IMO. Thus why Suzuha is valuable imperatively.

Is there really another way to travel to Beta line without Suzuha's time machine?

I wasn't talking about Alpha and Beta world lines. I remember that there was a discussion of whether Okabe went back to the past of the same world line again and again (ep. 13) and Fai, if i remember correctly, said it's impossible to do it and he only changed world lines again.

actually suzuha said it: the only way to change to beta worldline is to change a major event (going over 1%) u don't really need suzuha's time machine, okabe was in the beta worldline on the first episode

I think, that difference in divergence between this worlds probably too low to register... Maybe...

I believe you are correct. As Okabe didn't change what happened before, aka. the only change being the fact that he's back at one point with the memories from the future, which means nothing is different from before. So it's the same worldline, but if he acts different, the course of events will obviously flow in a different way (as we've seen).

*facepalm*

Read the bolded part you wrote yourself. That is what a different worldline is.

Even if I posted a 20 page explanation on why time travel TO SAME TIMELINE IS IMPOSSIBLE, someone would still write such stuff.

AS for the counter-mcguffin the only explanation I could offer is animation error
