Steins;Gate Episode 17 Discussion

so can okabe force people to remember memories of different world lines? this is quite a strange plot-point.

At least Feyris remembers.

I can see where all of this is going now though.

Also, what's up with this?
Notice how it says "2011" when this show takes place in 2010. This is obviously a mistake, right?
This was the scene where Okabe was supposed to send his mind back, but apparently it went to the future because it stops at 2011.

Finally got back into the show, been busy with irl stuff and when I had time to relax I just didn't feel like watching this show lol. Is it bad if I laughed at Mayuri dying again at the beginning of the episode. The comedic timing was insane lol. But glad we now finally have a plan of attack and are working to undo the previous Dmails sent. I will say the solution isn't as grandiose as I was expecting. It's basically just hit the undo but I guess thats time travel.

The Suzaha "arc" was pretty good. Daru hitting on his own daughter is kind of messed up but I guess it works well with his character. Figuring out who her dad was for like 3 episodes was kind of pointless since they undid the dmail. Pretty messed up that she basically forfeits her life just to get amnesia and the whole plan gets screwed.

In regard to this episode I have a few questions. Why is Faris able to somehow remember events that occurred in previous world lines? That doesn't make sense if it technically never happened here. Furthermore, Faris also says she hopes to remember everything from this time line in the new one Okabe is about to make. Is it a spoiler or??? Also how did Suzaha give the dad the IBN if she had amnesia, its been a bit since I watched the previous episode, am I missing something?

The episode itself was sweet getting to see Faris come to terms with accepting her fathers unfortunate but necessary death. I guess now we have to get Ruka a penis in the next episode.

Okabe isn't the only one with Reading Steiner or those abilities to remember previous worldlines, in the VN of Steins;Gate 0 there are more people with that ability so you can say Faris had something similar in this episode, that being said, what Faris had is not really Reading Steiner because she was able to remember both worldlines, with Reading Steiner you are supposed to remember the previous worldline but not the new one so whatever she had was different here, just go along with it, it's simply part of the story, she's not the only one that has it.

Before changing worldlines again, Faris said she hoped to remember the new worldline Okabe was about to make because she simply didn't want to lose the memory of Okabe when he tried to save her and the time she spent with him, there's not much else to it so it's not a spoiler.

Suzuha didn't have amnesia in the worldline of episode 17 because her time machine never got damaged, remember that Okabe sent himself a Dmail in episode 16 to stop following Suzuha and hence, the worldline changed and she was able to travel back to the past just fine with her fully functional time machine and live a normal life in the past, she still died of other causes in the hospital, apparently, she will always die in the year 2000 the same way Mayuri is dying since convergence will keep killing her, but at least she was able to deliver the IBN to Faris dad and this episode explained how he lost it, however, in the new worldline something else happened and the IBN is still missing, this will be explained in episode 18.

Alright sounds good bro. Thanks for clearing that stuff up :)
I'll keep that in mind when I get to episode 19. Yeah I kinda screwed myself taking that 2 week break. I will keep you posted through out! Right now its sitting at a high 6 mid 7 area. But it will most likely improve as we get closer to the ending.

This is what I meant about it may be a spoiler. So there is no real reason for her to remember the previous worldline? Kinda dumb imo. Or will it be explained in future episodes?


Oh I thought she also wanted to remember the time she spent with her father too? So most likely she won't remember any of it right? Like what Miyuri says about every time Okabe jumps time lines.


Ok this makes sense, I probably just forgot then. It's been a while lol. So she completed her goal thats good. Will this outcome be affected by Faris's dad being dead now or did Suzaha give it him before his flight?
