Steins;Gate 0 Episode 12 Discussion

No. The whole conception. The movie features parallel worldlines (R and Steins Gate worldlines are active simultaneously), while it is established in the source materials and in the anime adaptation, that only one worldline can be active at a given time.

Even if we try to explain the movie that there are no parallel worldlines in it, only the Steins Gate wordline changed to a worldline where Okabe doesn't exist, that also caused contradictions. Because if we are on a worldline, where Okabe doesn't exist, then Kurisu can't meet with him in 2005... since Okabe is not exist in this worldline. And a time traveler (in this case Kurisu) always goes back to the CURRENT worldline's past, and her arrival create a new worldline from the point she arrived.

Soo, the movie sucks, because it makes no sense... It is emotional, but makes no sense... Unfortunate...

Anyway, the official afterstory is the Holy Day of Scourge light novel. Not the movie and not the OVA.

i think saying different world lines is enough to say that different worldlines are active in parallel if u remember when okabe shifted from beta to alpha and he found mayuri is dead and heard the story what happened during whole time(few months) this alone proves that even if original okabe is in beta worldline with divergence of 1.09 (remember complete original worldline has divergence no of 1.13) the alpha worldline is also active in parallel with okabe of that worldline

Wow. I've been obsessed with "Hoshi no Kanaderu Uta" ever since I haven't seen Steins;Gate, rewatched again and felt deficient as I can't remember where was the song inserted and thought it was a VN-only soundtrack, was so glad and rather surprised to encounter it here. The melody is angelic and nostalgic but doesn't evoke a feeling of melancholy or despair but comforting and heartwarming, I can't express the amounts of dopamine flowing through my body listening to this beautiful piece of art.

I adore the mother-daughter dynamic between Mayuri and Kagari, so sweet and touching, I like the idea of a song that got transmission to many people to create a paradox, and it's even more fascinating to see it's a song that got conveyed through mother to children, from Okabe's mother, Suzuha's mother to Kagari's mother. My favourite from the season, and since Kagari is finally getting her memories back, I expected to see more twists and sharp plot segments in the future events as a redemption for the missing from the first half.
