Good job denizens of MAL. I had to avoid posts everywhere in this thread.


Also, Okarin never learns, does he? What has he screwed up this time?

What was he thinking? You don't just go around grabbing people's balls...especially if it's a she and you are grabbing something else...oh well, he got punished. But what is probably worse is that since he decided to follow part-time warrior-chan, his interaction in the dark with KurisuTINA never actually happened. A pity, I really like them together...Still 5/5, a fantastic episode.

So John Titor is really Suzuha? cause if the dad is Daru, which is possible since they both went to the same meeting but Daru got tricked and they both appeared Okabe's video. And considering the fact that Suzuha keeps referring to herself as a "soldier" and the real John Titor claimed that his a US Soldier.

Am I the only person, who is bothered by Ruka’s sex change? From what I read, there are some theories (like The Shettles Method) on what to do, in order to influence the baby’s gender, but… all this is arguable and I didn’t find anything about eating vegetables to get a girl... Well, changing the past also sounds crazy enough, so I guess I will just enjoy the show without thinking about the details.

When Okabe sends D-mails to the past, especially to people who he doesn't even know (e.g. Ruka's mother), why do they always do exactly as he told them? Have they no willpower or at least a small urge to doubt a message from a complete stranger? I mean, even the crazy him from the past would probably be tempted not to listen the advice at least once for whatever reason...

Hoping to some more Feyris-nyan in the next episode!

You know, when people put effort into writing stories around time travel, like Chrono Trigger and this one, it makes for some really fascinating and engaging stories.

Also, I miss this show having a trap.;_;

Poor Ruka, whether you're a girl or a boy everyone wants to molest you. XD

So it's confirmed that Titor is Suzuha's father. Now, if only we knew who he was... I don't think it's Daru, it's more likely to be Okabe himself. Suzuha is very over-protective of Okabe and seems to think that Makise is out to get him so that makes me think that Makise kills Titor.

Really hope we get more plot development in the upcoming episodes (like finding the comp again and working out more SERN stuff). Everytime they send a mail back in time I get really nervous, haha.

Also: I love Okabe's evil laugh. So random. X3

Oh, I definitely have problems with Ruka's sex change, but I'm thinking the intent is that the "Butterfly Effect" altered the world line to one in which Ruka was born a girl. Remember, a lot of things can change due to the Butterfly Effect, but the world line always stays extremely similar due to "Steins Gate".

Great episode again. Kurisu you tsundere. :D
Looks like he doesn't even bother explaining the situation to the others anymore, I guess he must know that it would be too hard to believe.
Also, I'm kinda sad I mechanically clicked the spoiler button on the first page of the discussion, it was a pretty major spoiler and I didn't want to know. :/ I hope it isn't true.
I haven't read the other pages, but am I the only one who's thinking maybe Okabe died when he was young and shifted to a world line where he didn't?

I'm liking Okabe more and more, he knows it's not a game anymore and he's got this serious aura.

EDIT : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnd I just spoiled myself again while reading the thread. Shit. :<

Okay, enjoyed the episode, but Okabe needs someway of letting himself know what has happened after time shifts! Doesnt he record all his notes into his phone, couldnt he listen back to them and figure out whats happened that he doesnt remember!

At least within the last day!

I like how Kurisu coughed at the, "Flat is justice!" remark.

I don't think I've ever been so horrified by the sight of Jello.

So, what changed besides Suzuha staying? And who's watching?

Ah, this show.

Right. Have to avoid spoilers!

I just don't believe it when Okabe actually touch Ruka "there". Even if Ruka was a boy, touching "there" is.....Anyway, it just confirmed that Ruka is a girl in this world line. So eating a lot of vegetables really can change unborn baby's gender, huh?

Another nice Okabe x Makise moment in the blackout =)

Suzuha suddenly disappeared and this forced Okabe to send another D-mail. I wonder what changes this time?

And it looks like Okabe's activities has been found out...

How does Okabe come so fast to conclusions? It's somewhat unrealistic IMO.

Well, otherwise really good episode. Not enjoying Suzuha's story much though. I don't know but it just doesn't intrigue me as much as the past episodes.

Though I don't care for much of the romance in Steins;Gate, I don't like Kurisu x Okabe. If anything, I'd choose Okabe x Mayuri.. They just care for each other so much and I think that's very sweet.

4/5 - Not the best, but very enjoyable. I want to see more John Titor!

Okabe doing that is probably considered sexual harassment. The text is weird. I don't get why there was jello, but it doesn't make sense. They can't watch him since he keeps on changing everything with the time machine. How would they even know that he changed anything? Unless it's someone else that has the same power.

Woo Suzuha's back! Very exciting episode as Okarin is starting to use the time machine to change events in the immediate past now. Glad to see that Ruka's message did take effect afterall, I was wondering how you would approach the matter, well Okabe answered that question for me.

Incredible sense of fear was created when he received the jelly text message too, just great.

I love seeing Makise's softer side too, she's delightful when she wants to be.

Good episode. The red jelly message was creepy. ._. I would be freaked as hell if someone sent me a text like that.

Right now, I ship Mayuri with Okabe. Then Makise. Then Rukako. Then the Soldier girl. My reason if that Okabe warms up specifically at Mayuri and it's really cute. :)
