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?

I'm not sure whether or not it was mentioned in the anime, but Daru was using the computer to set the timer, and by that, bypass the limit.

They are all pretty stupid if you ask me. Changing her from boy to girl would probably cause some drastic changes (if this show would be logical that is). First, if Ruka would be a girl then the chances for her to be friends with them all are lowered. Instead of being the modest boygirlish person Ruka is, he might become a super bitchy and arrogant tsundere girl. Who knows? Were they willing to bet all that just for her to have a chance of being born a girl? There are operations and hormons you could take if you want to change gender..

Also, am I the only one who realised that Okabe was seen at two different locations at two points in the episodes when the girls call Daru a pervert and he replies with "I'm a gentleman pervert.."

So Okarin's ability is called Reading Steiner.

Moeka's existence erased?

Ruka fanservice,had to happen sooner or later :3.

A D-mail to make Ruka a girl?

Ruka a girl now?Honestly don't care still like him/her the same.He'll always be a gir in my eyes.

That awkward moment when you wonder to yourself if Ruka has become a girl or is still a guy.

Decent episode overall. This had some good story development with Okarin shifting the world lines several times to different results. The different reactions of several characters on altering the past through d-mail was done well.

i totally thought he was a girl
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

I'm pretty sure Ruka is now biologically a girl, but surely it'd have more drastic consequences than just changing that.

Another great episode as to be expected from such a legendary anime. I wonder if Ruka really did become a girl.

They don't have to wait the whole time and never had to. All they need to do is start the microwave and then open up the door for the electrical discharge to occur and then send the mail.

I don't get the last part, why did Okarin say it failed? Ruka became a girl, didn't he?


Ruka probably did become a girl, but because she is still flat-chested, Okarin thought Ruka didn't change genders.

I hope that Ruka is still a boy though, I'm a sucker for androgynous boys.

And our scientists continue to meddle with the past. I think it is precisely because the consequences seem so minuscule that they have no qualms with continuing to do so.

Ok, the pacing of the anime has been really bad this far, but now its getting better.
LOL @ "Reading Steiner" xD

But im surprised that our "scientists" are willing to send a message back 17 years in the past. I bet there will be fatal consequences.
I just didnt get yet, how they actually set the time for the d-mail, and why Okarin always "awakes" a few seconds before he sent the d-mail in the new world. Guess it will all be answered soon. I think this anime will blow my mind.^^

How do we know for sure that Ruka isn't a girl now? When it came back from sending the D-mail to Rukas' mother I thought everyone was gone since no one was at the computer. I was starting to think that they changed everything just because they sent that message.
