| And the story begins... |
| The first scene of this episode confused me (I even read the VN), but after thinking a lot, this scene could work in future episodes(I have some theories about it), but we have to wait how they'll handle this. Overall is a very good episode with some misterious things that will be answered after. I have the same feeling of confusion as i had with the original 12 episodes. |
| so this Kagari girl reeeeally looks like Kurisu... hmmmmmmmm.... I'm excited to see her in the current time! also, seeing the WWIII part at the beginning was awesome and freaky, can't wait to see the developments another great episode! |
JPthugnificent said: Hmm, aside from the fact that the WWIII scene was short af, didn't it also happen a bit later in the VN? It is kinda hard to remember exactly when each timeline shifts happen because they happen out of Okabe's control in S;G 0. If the WWIII scene in the anime is supposed to be a foreshadowing, then nvm. His Reading Steiner activated during the Christmas party in the VN. |

| Great episode. We're seeing Okabe still sturggle with how to handle his relationship with AI Makise and now is helping Suzuya out with finding Kagari who she got split up with when time traveling. Seems like she's even closer than they thought by the end of this episode. Am very much looking forward to the next one. |

xiii-dex said: I'm getting some arranged marriage vibes from Ruka and the person who presumably is Kagari. I may be waaaaay off, but that's just what my mind is jumping to. Maybe I'm the only one. As soon as Daru said he "knew someone", I was 99% certain who the someone was. SamBlack said: so this Kagari girl reeeeally looks like Kurisu... hmmmmmmmm.... I'm excited to see her in the current time! also, seeing the WWIII part at the beginning was awesome and freaky, can't wait to see the developments another great episode! Having no experience with the VN, I can't help but agree. She obviously has red hair very intentionally, either because it is some relation to Kurisu, or because it's a red herring (would that be a "red hair-ing"?... I'll see myself out). *ba-dum tsss* LOL |
| So a brief of ww3 and ofc the phone call ended it . I think the scene is too short , and doesnt really give that frightening vibes like the vn does because its way longer , guess they’ll get over there again later So the shina kagari is |
| Not gonna lie, I really liked the first three episodes, but it felt like they were jumping around/trying to introduce way too much in this episode. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Reading Steiner applied without Okabe knowing why, a mysterious girl named Kagari who came to the past together with Suzuha, and I can already see a "oh fuck" if Okabe tells Amadeus to search for info about her in that database, four episodes in and this is already so tense, I love it. |

(Just a speculation) Spoiler about shina kagari and kurisu , dont read if dont want to be spoiled |
| Like the other episodes did, it has me anticipating next weeks episode. Can't wait for it. |
 |
| this is sooooooo awesome |
| Episode was the weakest one so far, but it was still pretty good Cuts to other scenes were pretty awkward, and art isn't much to write home about either |
 |
| I feel that the plot is thickening. It's like a whole new story is being woven together slowly. I can't wait to see how all this plays out. I hope it's as good as the original story. |
| Damn that felt short, I need moreeeee. Things are getting more packed with mysteries, the sudden Reading Steiner?, although the phonewave doesn't exist anymore in his current worldline, leskinen suspicious appearance?, now they're searching for a lost girl, and moeka, the one Daru called for specialist? They're back with the cicadas sounds, the pale color scheme and lighting effects, the nostalgia of original steins;gate is strong in these. Though it's only showed for the worldwar and suzuha flashback. So looking forward to see this effects again on next episodes. Can someone clarify this, is suzuha(SG;0,beta) the john titor of 2000(beta worldline, fixed the 2yk problem) that okabe remembers in the original steins;gate before he met suzuha and her real identity as john titor of 2010(alpha worldline). Cause its where okabe asked if Daru knows about John Titor of 2000 and he also asked suzuha if she gone first to 2000, though Suzuha answered something like she didn't maybe another of her go on that year. |

| Such a great episode once again |
TomatoTheSupreme said: Rushed but still interesting episode. It seems like its going to diverge extremely from the VN, not sure that's a good thing. Its not really diverging and especially not extreme. Some readers are just confused, because the last episode featured mainly events from X-Day Protocol which is part of the second mainroute(V&A), while this episode followed the first mainroute(PR). Both routes have an diverging point with Amadeus at the shrine a few days before XMas in the VN: -> turning off Amadeus call -> Reading Steiner happens? -> PR Route without XMas Party -> accepting Amadeus call -> Reading Steiner doesnt happen -> time passes -> V&A Route with XMas Party when Reading Steiner finally occurs -> accepting Amadeus call -> Reading Steiner doesnt happen but something else(Spoiler) -> time passes -> V&A Route with XMas Party when Reading Steiner finally occurs -> True Ending(MWC) Both Reading Steiner Events have something to do with WW3, but the first one is just a lesser version of the anime telling "something" happened with leaving Okabe and readers confused, while the 2nd one on the XMas Party shows what happened with Okabe knowing it. So Anime Viewers got a better sneak peak. PR -> V&A -> MWC is the true route order, so dunno why some expected V&A. The anime version has a different pace, so they kinda took a shortcut by making the XMas Party as the only diverging point for both routes including the true ending trigger. So some VN readers expected the Reading Steiner to take the form of Pandoras Box within V&A Route and not just a sneak peak that barely happened at the shrine way before the XMas Party which leads to the events of this episode. Its imo a good change, because this makes the diverging point easier to grasp for anime viewers later on as the XMas scene leaves a stronger impression to fall back later on to lead into the events of the second mainroute straight to the true ending. Its basically a smart streamlining of an overly complicated diverging. |

mirakodus said: Well yeah different world line. It was all in the Alpha world lines in the original Steins;Gate. This is the Beta.Based on original S;G Suzuha should not know her father in the future. Some of the scenes from the future contradicts that. Different world line? |

lswarmruler said: man, i actually want to watch the show while eating breakfast, but can't hold my patience, and watch it midnight... well, so anyone know who is ruka's guest? is it her, kagari? i think this episode is alright, even tho it just feels adding more questions to the show, and i kinda also hate clifhanger ending... it seems moeka is daru's friend in this timeline, wonder what is her occupation now... and how she can help finding kagari.. I watch while eating breakfast and foods too! |
| Wow surprised to see how quickly they showed the WW scenes (VN player here). Glad to see it finally starting to pick up pace as opposed to previous episodes. |
Though we are parted, If on Mount Inaba's peak I should hear the sound Of the pine trees growing there, I'll come back again to you. |
Knightmare_YK said: Can a VN reader please explain what happened in the last episode's ending to the beginning of this episode? Okabe experienced WW then woke up in a bed and landed back to the rooftop? How? Minor spoilers are okay. You arent supposed to understand it yet, so dont worry and take it as shown. Basically Reading Steiner happened between? (leaving it open as both anime and vn leave it at this point open). |
| I really should stop reading stupid moege and actually read this VN. |

Takamura-sama said: Mohammadalmannai said: I actually loved this episode, aside from 1 minute of ww3 in which the game it was 2 hours long. Aside from that, this anime made the meme lord suspicious. That ending with Moeka, nice. I know which Kagari version we are getting, thank god. 4.5/5 and rounds to a 5/5 As a vn reader I forgot we are getting Is it this one? I Forgot I played it 2 years ago Yeah we are getting that one :P |

| this ep was a clusterfuck of scenes and a snoozefest at the same time. not only that but the animation and art were terrible aswell. i still ponder why anyone would love this. id appreciate if anybody could explain it to me. |

Fluggyboi said: This episode seemed to be almost faster paced than the past three combined. It definitely is rushed.

| She is comeee!!!!! Kiryu Moeka! What is her role now in this beta world line? *Kurisu's smile so cute |
| yeah, good for u... for me, i need something else to do while eating food, and vice versa is applied to watch regular anime.. but an exception to something i bitterly wait to watch for a week, like steins;gate 0. so, what do u think about this episode anyway? And can anyone tell me already, who is the guest in rukako's house? |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
| That was great, Steins;Gate 0 is getting awesome again after a bad episode 3. |
| Hey, a red-haired girl that obviously isn't Kurisu's kid, talk about a turnabout! I wonder, has the timeline changed? Because it seems there are many things Okabe did but he doesn't remember them... Moeka plot twist! And why is Kagari at Ruka's house? Hm, we'll see. |

| Ruka is just so hot. Looks better than any of the girls. I want to see her wearing a bikini !! |
| This entire thread is just everyone talking about the VN, FeelsBad. |
| The WWIII scene was just a teaser. I was confused why they showed it tho, the atmosphere and the feeling when I played the VN was fantastic at this point. i guess they will come back to it later. I am also starting to think that a big surprise waits for us - Especially something the VN-readers do not expect :P |
| I am ignorant - brace yourself!!!! |
| Anybody notice how Daru was wearing a lab coat in the flashback? Possibly Okabe's? |

Kautsar001 said: Mouloxas said: WTF was this episode??? Rushed af. Completely ruins the shocking plot twist that sets the tone for the rest of the story. Crap directing. Introduces worst girl. That can't be all we get from ww3. It just can't. They have to come back to it and hopefully they will come back to it. If they put all WW3 scene on anime, its take 2 eps for WW3 scene until Okabe answer the phone and back to christmas party. They already adapted the first scene as teaser unlike the VN did at the original divergence point to make the beginning of Pandoras Box stronger. So they can pretty much straight continue it after PR Ending, just not sure how they will handle a certain X-Day Protocol scene that was referenced in Pandoras Box but didnt happen in the anime yet. Thats gonna be a bit interesting, when they reach this point. It sounds like some VN readers made the mistake of reading Pandoras Box before PR, so they forgot that the Shrine Reading Steiner originally happened before this major shift and not leaving much of an impression. While the anime uses it as a single divergence point. |
