So Ruka's a girl now? XD They called him a hentai for looking so that's my impression! This series is becoming interesting! Also gotta love Mayuri's intro: Du du Duuuu!!!

So Ruka didn't change gender. But still after the jump Mayuri called him Ruka-chan instead of Ruka-kun...

Oh well.

4/5

Lol I honestly thought Makise would check somewhere else to find out if Ruka was a boy.

Sure did look like Ruka changed genders, even if Okabe wasn't aware of it. I'd be surprised if there weren't any repercussions for changing the past that far back.

Great episode, I wonder if Ruka's gender change actually worked.
Now I hope something will change soon, I don't want to watch 5 episodes of 'helping' people by sending D-mail.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

I kind of hope it didn't work, it would be kind of creepy if he is a she now, and still as flash as a washboard.

Stupid Okabe! Just because he/she's flat-chested doesn't mean that he/she isn't a girl!!!

Lots of Ruka!!!!! It probably would have been easier if he just transgendered. (Too bad, though. I liked him as a guy, even though she would be a cute girl.)

Also, so does Moeka have to be completely re-introduced to them, now?

I thought one of the rules for sending a D-mail was that the seconds on the microwave determined the amount of hours in the past the message is sent? But they sent a message back 17 years with 120 on the microwave display (which would be 5 days). I don't think 17 years worth of hours would even fit on the display.

As far as I'm aware it was confirmed to be an animation error. By default they would usually use 120 for scenes that didn't involve actual animation of the timer.

It was a very interesting episode, I'm sure that Ruka became a girl because since she was acting all shy when Kurisu thought and said that Okabe was perving on her. :s

I'd give the episode a 8/10

I think Ruka turned into a girl because he was covering his chest in the same manner as girls do when guys stare at their breasts.

I was hoping that Ruka's still a guy, if he turned into a girl then there won't be anymore "he's a guy" jokes. xD

The feeling of changing timelines is kind of sad in a way. It makes it feel like you were abandoned and taken away from the world you once knew. That's just my thoughts from watching this episode.

Ruka's reaction seems to indicate the experiment was a success, but this hasn't actually been confirmed yet. I wonder what else changed. I hope I'll get a better explanation for why Okarin is the only one that remembers.

i'm so glad ruka became an actual member. that means he'll probably appear more often :3 he's so freaking cute. i just want to cuddle him and make him blush the whole time, ahh *u*
i actually really hope he didn't become a girl... i'm happy i don't have to wait a whole week to find out :D

i also really start to enjoy this show. it caught my attention since the beginning, but since episode 6/7 it's even more... intense? i guess it's because okabe finally knows that he really can switch between the world lines.
but there are still so many unexplained things and mysteries and i have so many theories since the very first episode that it nearly drives me nuts. i'm really excited to find out how well-planned that show is because if i'm right with some of my theories, then they did hint things since the very beginning and i love it when shows hint things and just reveal them much later. it always proves how much thought they put into a show :>

I've not read the manga but judging I've not missed anything out in the anime then I think it would be assumed that Ruka's gender identity did not match his gender. So he felt like a Woman despite his manly attire.

P.s. I think I might be gay now.

So, can I get it like that in this case Ruka's situation isn't affecting the main plot?Is it just a mangaka's preference?

There is something I don't get, the time you put on the microwave is converted in hour if I remember correctly, then how did they send the message 18 years in the past?
