| DU DU DEW oh Mayuri. I can't imagine if they keep changing the past it will go well. now Moeka isn't a lab member and the trap might have become a girl. although that would be a good thing. how would telling their mother to eat veggies work though? |
 |
| I approve of Ruka turning into a girl. I also approve of this amazing episode. And I definitely approve of this fucking awesome anime. |
 |
| So I guess that scraps my theory about the phone being special. Though what does Kyouma have to jump through world lines? Hmm.. Ruka-kun became Ruka-chan according to Mayushii. So it's a success, I think. Does eating meat or vegetables have any scientific basis at all for that though? Either way, trap or not, my soul was also being devoured by that pink dress. The horror!! I lol'd though at Kurisu when she touched Ruka. And I noticed that when there is a time slip, there are numbers appearing. And it appears to be decreasing. Maybe that's what Titor is referring last time about the Divergence 1%? Curious about that. Anyways, great episode. Looking forward to more.

| Watched the ep twice, and it looks like the IBN 5100 disappeared along with Moeka. I wouldn't be surprised if she just wanted to go back in time a bit to get her hands on it first. And though Ruka probably had a fast and easy genderswap, I doubt it's a clever idea to use that microwave as some sort of wishing-machine. |

If you just started to love this, you're watching it wrong. ----- She probably did turn into a girl, reactions + -chan + looking at female clothing with tu-tu-ru~ girl. EDIT: Seems like it was already said uh. |

Lucky! I am jealous, too much to catch up but I shall try watching again the episode before and this one.Watched the ep twice, cleo said: I did not notice it but that would mean they can't send D-mails? Huh? Anyway I who is Moeka and let's just say lots are going to hate her. I will leave it at that.it looks like the IBN 5100 disappeared along with Moeka. BTW just to be clear since last summer there was always a song playing. Always reminding me how this would be exciting. It was nothing really else but one song who decided my fate in watching this. I present it to you and yes it's way way way better than the OP IMHO. |
| The IBN 5100 is only used to decode SERNS's programming code that contained the Jellyman Reports. The IBN has nothing to do with the D-mails so D-mails can still be sent. |
| I'm close to dropping this show. I was hopeful because episode 1 had a Serial Experiments Lain feel to it but this gradual pandering to the Denpa Onna crowd is making my blood boil. |
Riga92 said: Really? So you are saying that as long as they got the decoding they will be able to send the D-mails or is it something else? Trying to understand this. Even though there are so many other elements to analyze. Well I got most of them IMO.The IBN 5100 is only used to decode SERNS's programming code that contained the Jellyman Reports. The IBN has nothing to do with the D-mails so D-mails can still be sent. |
| The D-mails were invented by Okarin. The IBN did not have any role in the invention of the D-mail nor is it needed to be able to send D-mails. The only reason why they got the IBN in the first place was because the IBN is needed to crack that programming code within SERN's database which contained the Jellyman's Report. So they have nothing to do with each other. The IBN will play a big role in the plot real soon however. garytek said: I'm close to dropping this show.

This show isn't anything like Denpa Onna. Sure Okarin and some other characters are a bit eccentric and there are a lot of hilarious character interactions within Steins;Gate, but that is to serve as character development and to deepen relationships between the cast. If you haven't noticed, the plot has been steadily getting darker and more serious now that they are experimenting with changing the past, and IT WILL get dark and serious right when we get around the halfway mark. |

Riga92 said: Ok so it was only used to see a report? So then the programming code code that was cracked had not direct implication in the D-mail invention at all? It was only due to the cellphone and microwave? Scratch that I kind of know what the major role of the IBN is but having it missing certainly does create problems. I will leave it at that.

Read some VN stuff. Yea the IBN is used only for the report. The Phone Microwave improved in capabilities simply through testing and modifying. |
| The awesomeness continues. The whole cosplay scene was hilarious and yes, I think Ruka became a girl as well. It probably didn't change a lot because Ruka probably always acted much like a girl so the differences could be very minimal. |
| Ara ara. |
| LOL Kurisu's reaction after learning Ruka is a guy is pretty funny. :D |
| Tu tu ruu~ Lots of Ruka yay! ♥ Best episode so far ( ^-')b |
| Yesh, finally some more Ruka! :D The show's just getting better and better, I want the next episode out already! |
| For those who are still confused about Ruka-chan Spoiler WARNING If you still don't get it, you're dense. |

| The loli and Mayuri going "Tuturu!" at each other was too kawaii, as was trap-kun (now trap-chan?). I think Ruka probably is a girl now, he was dressed even girlier than usual and blushing at 'her' DFC is probably a dead giveaway. I don't think Mayuri's aware enough of the trap fetish (or much of anything) to think Okarin's perving unless Ruka-chan was a girl after all. EDIT: Alternatively, Ruka could have simply gained a greater acceptance of his gender identity problem in this timeline, and started openly dressing like and pretending to be a girl. Kurisu just assumed someone who was cuter than her must be another female, LOL, but he could easily pass for a flat girl. Using time travel to do a gender-reversal surgery is a little on the odd side, but this is anime. Hell, this is Steins;Gate ... Speaking of perversions, goddess I love Daru! He fucking rocks the house ^_^ A hentai gentlemen indeed! The characters in this show are still some of the best around, and the plot's finally picking up... I wish this series was already over so I could watch it all at once and not have to wait @_@ 5/5 |

Sir, you're watching it wrong. Seriously, comparing this to denpa onna would make every other anime looks like denpa onna. |
| FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU. Did they just kill the trap????? There should be laws against this. Traps are a nation's treasure. Killing them should be a criminal offence. Love the Tu-tu-ruus. Tu-tu-ruu... tu-tu-ruu... tu-tu-ruu... Can't get enough of it. |
| Experiment after experiment! ;D |

kaimax said: Wow, can't wait to see that next episode. Looks wild. Seriously, Ruka attitude change with Mayuri's attitude change while thinking how it was earlier and now is really the key.For those who are still confused about Ruka-chan Spoiler WARNING If you still don't get it, you're dense. |
| What a great episode. Ruka!!! |
quagdingo said: best anime of the season 100% TRUTH!!!! Also, is it ok to fap to Ruka if she turns into a girl??? |
alexcampos said: If you can find hentai stuff of her on the net. I am sure fans will soon get to work on that one. DFC fap? Absolutely agree with that.quagdingo said: best anime of the season 100% TRUTH!!!!Also, is it ok to fap to Ruka if she turns into a girl??? |
| Ruka is so freaking awesome. Even as a boy, H.O.T. |
| Wow, 5 pages and nobody notice the numbers each time okarin jump into the new time line... ep 8 1st D-mail  2nd D-mail  Each time he jump to the new time line the numbers goe's down, what the meaning?, what whould happens if they reach 0.00000? I'm realy curius about this |

| Did Ruka really turn to a girl ?? I would really love to if he did,maybe the next episode would clear that question !! |
 |
| Good episode. Still managed to make some laughs while slowly revealing the story. |
| tuturu!!! another interesting episode so Kyouma's ability is called Reading Steiner |
YEX said: Did Ruka really turn to a girl ?? I would really love to if he did,maybe the next episode would clear that question !! Yes He/she changes, look at how Mayuri call hin/her Before the new time line is Ruka-Kun After the new time line is Ruka-chan Look's like eat veggie when pregnant gona give you a baby girl xd |
| |
| ruka is now a girl Mayushi just confirmed it by calling Ruka-chan but still that's just my opinion can't wait for the next eps >.< |
 |
| Why would they accuse Okarin for being a pervert for looking there if Ruka didn't become a girl? He must've become one, no doubt. Also yes, tuturuu~ overload indeed. =3 |
 |
| Ok. I'm super perverted. It's a fact. When Kurisu told Mayuri to go with her to her hotel room one day o.O I went " O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O PLEASE DOOOO!!!! YURIIIII <3" |
| I've just rewatched OP of the VN, and I think that I saw picture of Please, tell me, that I made a mistake and this won't happen... |

 |
| Um, what actually determines how far into the past is the message sent? I remember them saying in an earlier episode that it's the time set on the microwave, but it was set to the usual 120 seconds in this latest experiment.. |

| for people still in doubt with Ruka, this is will be the final blow the spoiler damage is OVER 9000. so, think before you open it. @Wasabi, You'll be happy for a while, and maybe depressed when it's around mid-end episodes. |

I remember correctly, time set on the microwave has 1s =1h ratio, so... 17 years will be... 17*365*24=148 920 hours, so microwave should been turned on for 148 920/3600 = 41,3(6) hours... I really don't think that they could afford their electricity payment, not to mention what Mr. Brown will do to them for such experiments... |

| I though they could only send 5 days past o.o... wow well this is going to be interesting |
 ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ |
| though this episode didn't have too much of Hououin Kyouma in action xD !! but it turned out quite funny with the whole Ruka thing.... i'm loving this series |
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ  ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ |
| I believe that Ruka now is girl. Mayuri calls him/her Ruka-chan instead of Ruka-kun, Ruka covered his/her chest after hearing that Okarin was staring, Mayuri agreeeing with Kurisu about Okarin being pervert... |
