| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- woah so okarins ability is called "reading-steiner"(?) xD oh and i wished ruka would become a girl lol. And how they are using the D-mail to change the past is quite amusing and exciting at the same time. |
 |
| And despite Okarin being aware that the past changed, he still takes forever to realize that something actually changed. Oh well, it's just a minor flaw of his, I guess. And Moeka's as fast as always when it comes to replying. Oh Dal. You pervert Oh Ruka, finally. Now I won't have to feel bad for liking a trap. On another note, the VN's so full of awesome lines that 90% here won't ever hear. It's kind of sad. And instead, they add a bunch of "tuturuu"s in places where there weren't any to begin with. |

| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Another great episode!! None of them seem to really realize all the consequences of changing the past... Going back for so much years, what a huge risk! WHAT HAS CHANGED?! Now I really want to play the game, I bet there's a lot of bad ends (: |
| God, I love KYOUUUUMA. I also think Ruka became a girl as well, but we'll see. |
draker said: Well, he obviously said it failed because he didn't see any obvious change. Like, that flat chest and stuff.I don't get the last part, why did Okarin say it failed? Ruka became a girl, didn't he? |

draker said: I don't get the last part, why did Okarin say it failed? Ruka became a girl, didn't he? Think in the perverted sense (or so, thats how I'm thinking) It failed to make Ruka have femine attributes (chest... and..whatnot..) yet Ruka got what he/she always wanted? xD;;? to be a female? ...who knows I'm just guessing :c but then again maybe Ruka didn't become a girl.. LMAO at their expressions at Ruka in cosplay, I made the same noise and face "mu..." xDD Kurisu... oh Kurisu... LOL ..her OTL on the wall was funny xDDD |
 |
draker said: I don't get the last part, why did Okarin say it failed? Ruka became a girl, didn't he? Ruka probably did become a girl, but because she is still flat-chested, Okarin thought Ruka didn't change genders. |
| I wish Ruka became a girl because it feels very awkward to look at him... Every time I do I get a picture of Okarin in my head saying : It's a trap! xD |
 |
| ~Tuturu! Decent episode. I also think Ruka became a girl - Mayuri from the other time universe wouldn't have agreed with Kurisu about Okarin being a pervert for looking @ Ruka(seeing as Mayuri knew he was a male and Kurisu didn't..) Had me LOL: |
 |
| Tuturu! I'm starting to love this show. It was a little boring at first but now it keeps me interested and waiting for the next episode. |
 If you don't remember something, it never happened. If you aren't remembered, you never existed. <3 |
| best anime of the season |
| "Tu-tu-ruu~" OVERLOAD... Mayushii... Ruka probably did become a girl however, and Kurisu despaired over Ruka being a boy prior to that. But... it's a trap, alright. |

Rukako is such a good trap... and not to mention Tu tu ruuu~ Wait so did Ruka actually turn into a girl? But Okabe thought she was still a guy due to flat chest? |

| wow, this show really knows how to keep me interested and looking forward to next week. |
| Hopefully they have killed the trap... |

Rukako is such a good trap... and not to mention Tu tu ruuu~ Traps = they always get you... 8D anyways, I noticed she said Tu-tu-ruu~ a lot.. and not I have it stuck with me.. Blacksaber said: Hopefully they have killed the trap... nuuu why... D8 ..i-its nice to know that Kurisu thinks he's a female, when in reality... its a male xDD but then again, after this episode, does it mean that Ruka-san isn't a trap anymore? ... if not just a cute girl ? <3? //curious and wondering |
|
Tomislavr7 said: Hmm, I wonder if Ruka became a girl or not, Mayushii did agree with the pervert thing and I think she knew Ruka was a male earlier? Lots of time changes this time, I've really enjoyed them...:P Mayushii knows/knew Ruka was/is a male, but the only way she could actually call Okarin a pervert was if Ruka was a female, or, if oddly enough Mayushii turned perverted, and thought Okarin was thinking weird things.. but the second option seems very... unrealistic xD;; so lets stick with option A. that Ruka became a female |
|
| Ruka definetely became a girl :D |
Oosran said: You make me want to play the VN real bad *searches nyaa*On another note, the VN's so full of awesome lines that 90% here won't ever hear. Oh, so the Ruka thing did happen. As much as the time travel is fun but they should consider the consequences. They are talking it too lightly. I wonder why Okarin retains his memories. My guess was 'due to his phone' but this episode killed it. I love Daru's pervy-ness Okarin is so darn awesome and on top of that, he is sexy. Little chin hair, white coat, the laugh~ kyaa <3 Love the ED. |

| I fear changing the past as far back as 17 years and a deeply as the gender of a person may have had FAR more complex implications. The plot is really getting intense and seriously great, I can't wait for the next ep. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| this is the most appropriate use of time travel technology in the history of fiction |

I might search it too, after I'm done with one I'm reading/playing at the moment.. 8D lets just hope curiosity doesn't kill the cat? :c? |

I'm amazed they were all even in that room still. |
| It could turn out that Ruka is a girl. He kinda just assumed that he's still a guy. Ruka could be flat chested for all we know. This show is getting better and better. See how embarrassed she was. It's definitely a girl |
 |
| lolwut? Well nice episode, though this episode was basically Okarin traveling through worldlines, can't wait for the next episode 4/5 |
| I don't care if Ruka became a girl. He/She is still a TRAP XDD "But... he's a guy"- Okarin I'm pretty sure he actually became a girl particularly when Mayushi called him "Ruka-chan" instead of the usual "Ruka-kun" UayosKai said: ^I also have to quote this. Okarin felt something changed so I won't be surprised if its actually in a huge scale XDDAlso I wonder what other thing(s) has significantly changed because 17 years of gender swap doesn't only change one person. |
| I just loved their reactions when ruka confessed to wanting to be a girl. Kurisu: Eh? Okarin: Huuh?? Daru, Kurisu,Okarin: Guuuuuuuuuhh.......... |
| More D-Mail plox |
| winepisode |
 |
| Pretty sure Ruka is a girl now. Although "chan" is mainly used for girls, it can be used to address boys too. The main clue, I think, is the way Ruka-chan covered her chest when Okarin stared at it, whereas before that when she was a guy he/she didn't mind Cel-17 "examining" him :3 Good ep. Edit: I just remembered that when Ruka was a guy Okarin called him Rukako. -ko is a very common female name suffix. So they addressed him in a girly way even when he was a guy... |

MEGATRON said: this is the most appropriate use of time travel technology in the history of fiction Haha, agreed. Amazing episode, btw. This series keeps getting more and more interesting. |
Amazing episode. I got very excited. First quotes I officially adopt from Okabe “Reading Steiner” I am more thinking of Third Eye reference somehow and “I am a mad scientist, I desire chaos and destruction” Because of how Okabe is in the following, I officially want to be his partner and TBH am in love with him. As of this episode he is added to my hall of fame for males. Finally fell for him the way he was acting the mad scientist not only made me adopt his quotes of this episode but made me like him much more than before TBH. The other thing is Feiris,  if only a flashback I still like her a lot. I know more from the VN so now I have more reasons to like her route even though I did not play the VN. Apart from that this series is literally Madoka meet your replacement! I am going to de-mind fuck this for you all! Here is my contribution in point format. Brace yourself, I got some nice and cool information for you all! Now on to the main points.
About Moeka's time line change, rather crazy serious look she had in the beginning. Guess she is serious all the way about the D-mail. Assuming the consequences the picture taking was nice but considering she never changed to that phone with the time change, it is therefore useless. I guess it's just her habit kicking in. The weirdest thing is because of the time shift Ruka who came before the experiment started with the water melon, comes in fact after the experiment. In fact she was quite surprised of the what can the D-mail do. Thus why she got determined. Pagers here? I had one long time ago. It was cool for code numbers and where to meet but no with cellphones it's useless. |

| They keep messing with timelines it's eventually going to bite them. |
otakuthon49 said: Someone should compile all of them in a video when the series is done."Tu-tu-ruu~" OVERLOAD... Mayushii... On the other hand, it would be cool if he did turn into a girl, just the thought of it is great, but the idea that Vegetables/meat affecting that is ehhhhhhhhhhh. |

Heiru said: Being someone who says it every time it is said, I counted it 4 times this episode.anyway, I noticed she said Tu-tu-ruu~ a lot.. DenjaX said: No and no. It's trap became into a female DFC. Still a trap yes until you find out it's delicious for a guy since it's a girl.I don't care if Ruka became a girl. He/She is still a TRAP XDD "But... he's a guy"- Okarin DenjaX said: The only thing that will change is the memories of everyone. I doubt they will remember Ruka as a male and will be like "Huh? Ruka male? Never was." Pretty sure due to how all were of not meeting Moeka as a lab member but only Okabe did. Fucked up time change because of that D-mail events totally changed all together and now I know who is John Titor, I know all reactions of that person. Not telling who.UayosKai said: ^I also have to quote this. Okarin felt something changed so I won't be surprised if its actually in a huge scale XDDAlso I wonder what other thing(s) has significantly changed because 17 years of gender swap doesn't only change one person.

| Tuturuuu~! He's a girl. Whenever the Reading Steiner (lol) was activated, I was going "Oh shit" in my mind. Great episode. |
| Even Ruka turn into a girl. Okaba will always think him/her as a boy :P "he's a guy" This is getting deeper :X |

| This episode left me wonder why Moeka changed the history for her not to be a lab member. She doesn't know Okarin has the IBN computer anymore. I thought she was looking for it. Yumekichi11 said: ^Looks like you already accepted it easily. I need more time to adjust to accept the changes. Ruka is still a dude in my eyes XDDDenjaX said: No and no.

| I've no words to describe this episode with .. This series really gets better and better with every new episode. I must say that I'm really really really anxious to see the next episode after I always watch the newest episode of Steins;Gate. If this keeps up, this will deserve the spot of best anime of all time in my list. |
 |
| Really great show so far. I cringed a bit when Kurisu "checked" Ruka out haha. Okarin didn't realize things changed because Ruka still looked the same..but I just want to point out that near the end of the episode when Ruka and Miyuri were sitting on the couch, Mayuri uses the honoric "-chan" (girl) for Ruka instead of "-kun" (boy). Jackpot? |

| i think ruka did become a girl |
