Kill her and there shall be no one that may kill Mayuri less there is another cause that makes this effect. If it is SERN itself then it may be a hard case to stop all this but nonetheless a solution certainly exists. The thing is, Mayuri's accidental third death seems to indicate SERN is NOT the root of the problem concerning Mayuri's death. Notice how she always dies at the same time, and the fact that her third death was not because of SERN. This implies that the universe is what is killing Mayuri. The universe is actively trying to kill Mayuri at the same specified time. In other words, it is fate or destiny. It does not matter the cause, but the effect. No matter what Okabe seems to do, Mayuri will die, whether its from SERN, or some other cause. The results will always be the same, it doesn't matter if the cause is changed. And even if Moeka is killed, this doesn't deny the possibility of another SERN agent killing Mayuri. |

harimasora said: I just noticed Kiryuu Moeka and Amane Suzuha look like each other so much. http://imageshack.us/f/52/amanesuzuhakiryuumoeka.jpg/ Could they be the same person? Humm, I think someone would turn into jellyman if teleported to the past... but they are so very muck like each other!! Hmmmmm... What about Kiryuu Moeka and Marise Kurisu cause their character design looks very similar. Wasn't part-time warrior supposed to take Nae shopping or something? Could she be behind death #3? Seriously that train death was... ... ... That is not how you surprise someone... D-mail and time leaping. D-mail changes the world lines, that's for sure. But time-leaping only changes it if the leaper does something s/he did not do before right? So in essence they both change the world lines if Okabe does something different. Right? |
| So Ruka usually used the pronoun "boku" in the beginning episodes. Then after D-Mailing the past and becoming a girl, Ruka started using 'watashi". In this episode, Ruka used "boku" again. Is that a slip or am I missing something? |
| El Psy Congroo |
| ... Is this for real? Are you all blind? Did you all not see how many blatantly obvious flaws were in this episode? How unbelievably, overbearingly stupid this was? This episode was a complete disaster, a train wreck. Seriously, one of the bad guys accidentally tripped a wire setting off a bomb in one of those trains. No wait, this was done on purpose. The bad guy purposely set the bomb alight for shits and giggles. Why did Okabe not tell anyone what was going on? Why did he continuously run in dark pathways with not another civilian in sight? Why did he take Mayuri with him on any of the occasions, when the safest place for her to be is as far away from him as possible? Why not, for example, keep her at the shrine with Ruka? How did he manage to reach the lab the second time around when Mayuri was hit by the car? How does one hit knock all the Sern minions unconscious? There had to have been a least 30 seconds or so for Suzuha to have got into the lab and done her aforementioned amazing feat... What the hell were the minions doing? Just standing around dumb fucked? DUHHHHH HERP DERP!? What the hell was Moeka doing? Why did Moeka or Suzuha not shoot each other immediately when they had the chance? Nope gotta have those stupid stare-downs and let them say their final words, derrrrp. How did every single bullet from Moeka miss Okabe when they were setting the time machine up? Seriously, she's only like 5 feet away for fucks sake. Why the hell not use a taxi. Do they not bloody exist in Japan? Why not stay at a friggin police station for the night? Why not bloody go back in time even further AGAIN straight after a time leap to increase the amount of time they have to escape? Lets say to about... Oh, at least bloody 2 days before! The time leap machine has been confirmed to work to at least 48 hours ago after all! And they can go back in time straight again afterwards once they do that for even more time! Seriously! WHY NOT BLOODY TELL ANYONE WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING ON!?!? No time? YOU HAD AT LEAST 3 HOURS, IN THE TIME YOU WERE TELLING THEM TO LEAVE WITH YOUR STUPID EXCUSES YOU COULD HAVE EASILY TOLD THEM THE TRUTH. NOT TO MENTION MY PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH, SHIT SON. Not to mention, the time machine is the absolute only thing they have to change their fate. Leaving the time machine at the lab where Sern are going to be showing up at in a few hours... NOT A GOOD IDEA. If Sern reach the lab before Okabe does, or say Okabe escapes the city with Mayuri only to have everyone else get captured because they're just strolling around shopping or something instead of hiding because Okabe is a friggin idiot, or Mayuri dies at ANY TIME after Sern have ceased the lab and time machine, then LOL GG. This series was really going somewhere too, and it all flew out the window in one episode. There is absolutely no way this show can redeem itself from this absolute trash of an excuse for drama and suspense. Even if it has it's great moments later on and a mind-blowing finale, this one episode will always remain as the maggot burrowing in the dish you were just enjoying. Why, just why... |

STM said: "onoez, a single episode of a great anime series wasn't as good as the rest, it is now considered absolutely terrible." Yes, this was a great anime. The problem is this isn't episodic, each episode follows the last. If one episode messes up, one single episode, it destroys the rest, since every episode is one in a whole.

Unless I've completely gone and made a mess of my ability to measure time. I've forgotten when they finished the time leap machine myself lol, but I think it was two days before the party. Even then, I believe there was something... What was it again... D something...? OH YEAH D-MAIL! HOW COULD I FORGET THAT HERP DERP. Or has that been thrown out the window too, now null and void...? |

Siing said: Why did Okabe not tell anyone what was going on? In the situation, what will you do? Wasting time in explanation, or act as fast as possible to save your friend? Because she can be found and die anytime. Siing said: Why did he continuously run in dark pathways with not another civilian in sight? Everyone of those civilian can turn out to be the guys who are after them. Better be careful with people passing by you. Siing said: Why did he take Mayuri with him on any of the occasions, when the safest place for her to be is as far away from him as possible? Maybe because he hasn't realized it yet. Or, he wants to keep her close to him to be sure nothing happens because he's the only one who knows what is going to happen and can prevent it. Siing said: Why not, for example, keep her at the shrine with Ruka? The agents are in the city. Siing said: How did he manage to reach the lab the second time around when Mayuri was hit by the car? He escaped and reached the lab. Not everything has to be shown in details. Siing said: What the hell were the minions doing? Just standing around dumb fucked? The moment the door was heard, she was already knocking them out. She's fast. No human have perfect, on-time reflexes. Siing said: Why did Moeka or Suzuha not shoot each other immediately when they had the chance? To create suspense and a chance for escape xD. Siing said: How did every single bullet from Moeka miss Okabe when they were setting the time machine up? It went fast, there was a smoke, even if you're shooting, you don't know where the person exactly is. You leave it to chance. Siing said: Why the hell not use a taxi. Do they not bloody exist in Japan? Why not stay at a friggin police station for the night? Everyone can be an agent. What will they tell to the police? What about the next day? They have to go to the moon in order to be save xD. I think that the D-mail will only change the world line but everything will happen again. So Okabe must prevent Mayuri from dying, not just jump from world line to another. The universe wants Mayuri dead ;_;. |

| I think Mayuri's third death was really stupid ! Think about it : even if that kid pushed her, Okabe was holding her hand ! Had he paid some attention, he could have pulled Mayuri back ! Or he could have held her hand more firmly and none of this would have happened. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |

(Sometime I love how gods think) |
|
| I interpret it differently. When Mayuri was pushed, Okabe probably would have followed her, because of the force. So maybe he, instinctively, loosened his grip so he doesn't die either. Or, judging by his calm expression when he was talking about the party, he loosened his grip because he was sure he will save her and they will live happily ever after. But, yeah, god/s sure likes to troll xD. |
Siing said: Why the hell not use a taxi. Do they not bloody exist in Japan? Well, he used taxi in the VN... It didn't end well... Mayuri still died... |
 Never saw no miracle of science, that didn't go from a blessing to a curse Never saw no military solution, that didn't end up as something worse |
Yumekichi11 said: Few things I have noticed,
Some questions that would be nice to have answered,
Yumekichi11 said: Very interesting observations. :) I don't know whether you are still watching or not, but I can at least answer for smoke. Okarin used future gadget #4, super instant humidifier, The Moad Snake. It's made to look like a claymore mine. It's one of the helpful future gadget :)!. In official future gadget website, it says the moad snake is disposable. it can be used only once... and... it's 7800 yen. http://futuregadget-lab.com/ ４号 モアッド・スネーク 特価 7,800 円 超瞬間加湿器。大量の水を、多数の電熱コイルで沸騰させ、ものすごい量の蒸気を噴出させる。これで乾燥した季節も恐るるに足らずだ。クレイモア地雷そっくりなので装飾品としても有用だ。 ※適用畳数・６畳。本未来ガジェットは使い捨てとなっております。 Rukako accidentally used it at episode 10. maybe you can watch it. I don't know about SERN guy's tatoo. seems not so important, i think. btw, there are no updates from official character twitter... ( : _ ; ) http://twitter.com/#!/futuregadgetlab |
  |
| what the hell Mayuri is just keep getting killed no matter what Okarin do !! |
 |
| It seems like fate really wants Mayshii to die xD After the car crash I already got the feeling that there is no hope for her anymore. Thought of the possibility of Okarin altering the timeline into a better and better solution each time he goes back (like, for example, next time aiming for the subway as an escape route again but standing more further away) but nah, I still somehow believe that this is it for Mayuri. And well, to me it starts only seeming more and more evident that Suzuha is a warrior from the future, and indeed has had experience fighting SERN before (maybe in a world line where SERN has taken over the world?) That thought led me to wonder about her dad she was looking for, I just can't help but believe he has some large significance to the story. Baito senshi is one of my fav characters anyways especially now after showing some battle skills <3 xD |

Baito senshi is one of my fav characters anyways especially now after showing some battle skills <3 xD Well duh, as we found out previous episodes, her dad is named Barrel Titor and Okabe is pen=pals with famous John Titor (seriously, go on wiki and look up this name, you will be surprised). Obviously its important. SailorKagome said: I think Mayuri's third death was really stupid ! Think about it : even if that kid pushed her, Okabe was holding her hand ! Had he paid some attention, he could have pulled Mayuri back ! Or he could have held her hand more firmly and none of this would have happened. Probabilities. Chaos theory. THere are thousands of factors affecting what and how it happens in our life. ONE smallest change can lead to the strangest probabilities increasing. For example, you could send a dmail to your morning self to NOT eat breakfast and that somehow could theoretically lead to alien invasion. A smallest change in the structure of system can HORRIBLY change the outcome, hence its the small things one should be wary of changing. |

| This episode unsurprisingly surprised me... again. It reminded me of "The Time Machine"(2002) movie, even if I watched just a part of it. To be more accurate it's about the inevitable death of Mayuri. This always was the one of the most mystic and interesting aspects of the time travel for me. Inevitable fate.

Anyways... what's more stupid of Okarin, it is how he didn't contact with Suzuha at the very first time leap. Even if he's weirdo, I always thought he has is in fact genius, even not by graduating Quantum Physics. And still he can't think of how she knows so much... even if she kicked the crap out of SERN's guys. I'm sure that the only way to get rid of the SERNs now is to contact with her. Still, I don't know how will he escape Mayuri's fate =\ |
  |
| Well fuck. So he goes back after she gets shot in the head BEFORE the party and BEFORE the bomb threat was announced..only to be in the place where the bomb threat was being taken part in, and fuck. I knew that was the wrong place for him to be in. Those bastards were waiting for him there. Then, Mayuri gets killed by a car. Thus Okabe has to go back AGAIN. He REALLY needs to not let go of her AT ALL, and have a strong, firm grip on her hand the entire time he's with her. So she gets hit by the train and dies this time..I'm starting to get a little bit suspicious of that watch she has. Like, every time she says "Oh..my watch stopped working." something bad happens to her. I think Okabe needs to get rid of that watch altogether and just keep a grip on her. |
 |
| I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet (im not going to go through 12 pages of comments) but obviously that world line (or watever they call it) wants Mayuri to die. So Okarin needs to use D-mail and change the world lines enough until she doesnt die. Seems simple enough... |

Still, I don't know how will he escape Mayuri's fate = I agree...I sort of understand why Okabe would look desperately for Mayuri the first time leap, since he was in shock after CERN crashed their party. But, he was definitely more calm the second time, so he should have thought about going to baito senshi for imformation seeing as she knows what's going on. And while we're talking about weird things...how in the World did Okabe escape after Mayuri was killed by the car...there were like 5 CERN guys and that crazy Shining Finger girl there. Anyways watched all the episodes in the last 2 days...great show. |
 |
| This is the first S;G episode that not only mindblown me, but blown my mind and heart for this two days. That flashback of Mayuri and Okarin is damn so sweet, and making all of Mayuri's death become more,and more painful. That's a short,sweetest,and the best childhood memories that I've seen in anime. At least for me, S;G is the show that I'm seeking for. Dark drama, good sense of humor, good portion of sci-fi, and bittersweet romance/tight relations. What else can I expect? |
| Within a worldline there are infinite divergences. But there are also things dat have been pre-determined. Despite all the divergences, they will still funnel into a final outcome. Mayuri's death can't be prevented. He has observed her death. Okabe's very existence in this worldline kills Mayuri. Calm down and think Okabe... track back the chain of events so far... the man dat's outside the law of cause n effect... and time itself.

Steins;Gate will be the best anime of 2011... if the anime team do it right. But as I see it they got sum pacing problem in the last 2 epidoses... feel kinda rushed, n lost all the heart-stopping tension in regard to Mayuri's death scenes dat's in the VN. In return they has focused on the relationship between Okabe n Mayuri, yeah dat childhood flashback... I can't really say the anime team has gone in a wrong direction tho. |

| I'm one of those people who hate 12-14 year old kids shouting at the top of their lungs: OMGBESTANIMEEVAR! With that being said, I apologize to everyone in advance who are like me in that regard but: BEST EFFIN SHOW OF THE SEASON With that out of my system...I don't really like that this show pulled off the "You can't save her, it is fate" rule. Bulls. In S;Gs universe it is possible to travel back in time as Okarin did, therefore altering the timeline (or creating a new one depending on your take on it) is also doable. I find it stupid that you can change the place of objects, memories (different dialogs) but when it comes to a person's life it suddenly can't be saved. Maybe it is just that I'm not religious but come on...I hope he finds a way to save her. Whatever happens, it was nice seeing her again, and her relation with Okarin, especially revealing the hostage thing, touching. 5/5. I wonder if the posts are less spoilerific in this thread than in the previous ones, but I'm not risking it, not reading replies. Edit: Forgot Part-Time Warrior. Maybe Okarin needs to fill her in on the events, seems like she could be a good opponent to Moeka. |
h8sunshyne said: mystik said: wow that's depressing on the 3rd death scene. he just can't cheat fate yet.... hit by a train no accident? that is harsh. oh man the 2nd time, when he forgot about the bomb threat.... I don't know why he doesn't tell Daru and Makise? or at least tell the Suzuha who can actually fight. the smart thing to do is GET AWAY FROM Mayushii. SERN is after him not her. so he needs to get the hell out, as do Daru and Makise. take the part time warrior with him as she is useful. shit just got intense. so death count so far Makise 2 Mayushii 3. Makise dies once, in the fist death scene. Or did I miss her dying anywhere else? My mind is now f**cked. Death count = 1 for Kurisu. That was not a fatal wound. If one is destined to die in a certain time of a worldline, he/she won't perish before the pre-determined time, no matter what. Don't underestimate the ability of the world to correct itself. And Kurisu is such an important figure to be dead... |
|
| I got spoiled,or at least get some clue that after two eps of mindfucks, this is once again,still the beginning. I guess we could still many more shocks. For example, I guess the conspiracy theory is far from opened now. Something about Mayuri's death is also still intriguing for me, especially the third death. Something like they try to make it looks like "fated death", but we'll see. |

Since that is possible theorem then it goes back to the Ergosphere that being Mayuri's soul being in a black hole and taking some of its anti-matter. Should the Universe want that back, then certainly it may be trying into making her into a spirit so that it can retrieve that element directly from it. Who knows but it's plausible. Riga92 said: That is really sad, there must be then another equation, perhaps give back what you have changed or taken from the Universe so it stops bugging you with constant death no matter the time period.No matter what Okabe seems to do, Mayuri will die, whether its from SERN, or some other cause. The results will always be the same, it doesn't matter if the cause is changed. Riga92 said: Fair enough. Man this a though case to crack. Seems I doing fine in understanding this my way.And even if Moeka is killed, this doesn't deny the possibility of another SERN agent killing Mayuri. |
Yumekichi11Jul 1, 2011 8:31 AM
| I think ... what happened in this episode was something like "You can not change a chance like this." You can not change a chance that will occur in this linear world ... I think that might just change alter the linear ... the anime is getting better! |
| I think by the end of the anime we'll have a sort of ending like we did with The Butterfly Effect, where he goes back to the first day they met, and leave a terrible first impression so that they never become friends. |
Yumekichi11 said: Fair enough. Man this a though case to crack. Seems I doing fine in understanding this my way. When I think about it, it should be quite easy. There are chains of events leading to Mayuri's death. Obviously as we see from these three world lines in this episode, just changing one of few things is not enough and the probability of Mayuri's death is still high. Going by what is known as butterfly effect, Okabe might need to think outside of the box instead of trying to change the conditions of that evening - even if he changes the setting, there are still enough variables in the complex structure known as time, that lead to Mayuri's death outcome. The fact that nothing changed in that evening all these times,that implies that he needs to make a BIGGER change in this whole thing to alter it. THat means that Okarin most likely has to search somewhere before that day(like someone suggested in this thread maybe make sure their friendship never began or something). If he manages to leave a drastic enough impact upon timeline, IMO, the possibilities to Mayuri's death should diminish. The problem is that time is one of the most complex unpredictable chaos systems to exist. Smallest things like newspaper being delivered at the wrong time can lead to an avalanche effect leading to even crazier outcomes not connected to that newspaper. Okabe literally has no idea on WHAT and WHEN he should alter to create an alternate timeline with Mayuri's survival. |

Yumekichi11 said: Fai said: So your solution that is proposed is to never meet Moeka or perhaps never hack SERN?Sometimes I think the Hydron Collider mechanics are chaos itself. When I think about it yes, those two things are possible. The most feasible solutions are: 1) Never hack sern. 2) never even get their attention with any sort of time travel experiments. 3) never befriend Mayuri. 4) never be born 4th sort of falls away since that would still lead to dystopia, but other three are the only ways I could see this get solved. Moeka is not the source of problems. Mayuri STILL dies even if she is not involved as we have seen. That alone for me implies that just getting rid of Moeka variable would not change thing. |
|
| Still pretty sure they are still using the (grossly naive imo) self-consistency principle.... such that events in the same timeline cannot be appreciably altered. He could prevent her death in a new world line with d-mail but she will always die in this current timeline no matter what he attempts to change. I do also feel they have foreshadowed that he will sacrifice himself by never being born, through some twist of logic. |

Which would be good except for the fact that the show used many worlds theory for now. And the fact that that theory itself is feasible and REAL, disproves the possibility of same-world travel, because travel itself would lead to a new line with you there in the past in that line. So IMO, its just that there are way too many things/variables that lead to Mayuri's dead for Okarin's decisions in last 24 hours to change it. |
|
| They don't necessarily contradict each other, if different time travel methods are used. I agree it's stupid, but they seem to have taken that road, and it's inkeeping with the show's premise of exploring popular time travel theory. |

Fai said: Mayuri's dead for Okarin's decisions in last 24 hours to change it. So, if it's that "mind blowing" let's just enjoy how Okabe will resolve this matter. Of course in the usual story development baby steps. As we see in the preview of this episode... and Before somebody starts screaming "spoilers" here's the official preview for episode 14. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri8-CcKmewc (and I'm just saying what I've seen in the preview, but I already played the VN though) |

I do also feel they have foreshadowed that he will sacrifice himself by never being born, through some twist of logic. Exactly. Mayuri is doomed in this worldline. It's nothing to do with SERN nor the hacking nor whatsoever. Mayuri simply has to die. And I dun think dat Okabe will sacrifice himself. He won't be able to observe the outcome if he ceases to be. With his Reading Steiner, and a time machine at hand, he's already a demi-god. He can always try infinitely, as long as he doesn't do sumthing stupid, nor his mind breaks down. Yeah, it's all about what Okabe wants now. He can scarifice any1 else, only if he really is an insane mad scientist. It seems that he still doesn't realise what terrible power he had in possession. Fai said: Which would be good except for the fact that the show used many worlds theory for now. And the fact that that theory itself is feasible and REAL, disproves the possibility of same-world travel, because travel itself would lead to a new line with you there in the past in that line. So IMO, its just that there are way too many things/variables that lead to Mayuri's dead for Okarin's decisions in last 24 hours to change it. In S;G, worldlines co-exist, but they aren't parallel worlds. They are simply possibilities. And only sum1 with Reading Steiner can observe them, one at a time. Any sort of time travel must create a divergence, despite how minor it will be. There's no return for Okabe. In his perspective, there must be a way to save his Mayuri, if it means to go against the world. Reading Steiner is a cruse. He can accept Mayuri's death and eventually gets over it as a normal person. Just not this Okabe. Omg if we get our heads burying too deep into this scientific theories mess, we will likely miss the most important point of the series. Sumthing dat's ridiculous? Just assume it's the 1% fantasy, as they said. And enjoy the show. P.S. Time leap machine has a limit of 48 hrs. And one can leap to the point before the machine's completion. You only need to wait till it's available again to use it. |

That is only if we count time as something universal. however if we count entirety of time, the infinity as one point happening at the same "time", then all those choices already happened and all those universes already created, just not from our point of view. |

| Plus Okabe so cute when she was younger and Rika seems to be male in this timeline, damn so it is a race to save her huh. I am glad I pick that one up, I think Mayuuri's time up Okarin. |
| Great episode, sad to see Mayuri die 3 times. Can't wait for next one! |
| Oh my fucking God. Mayuri dying three times in one episode makes me want to stab myself. OMFG T_T. MAYURI... WHAT THE FUCK MANG? WHAT THE FUUUCK?! This reminds me of an episode of Supernatural where Sam keeps getting killed by the trixter, aka the archangel. |

| All he has to do is kill that little girl then try the last thing again xD JK JK poor Mayushi she wasn't my favourite charecter but dam i dont want her to die. |
