| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice episode. Not much to comment on so I thought I'd do something new for a change and write a summary instead of just random things. I'll bold the stuff I find interesting. I also edited the post to keep it a little more spoiler free (I don't think there were any real spoilers to begin with though). So starting from last episode, we find out Suzuha was the John Titor that was communicating with Okarin. Not only that, she came from the year 2036, where the world became a Dystopia because of SERN being the only one to invent a time machine. Apparently, Suzuha says that the first D-Mail was what triggered SERN to look into their experiments. Okarin wants to crack into SERN's database, but they need the IBN1500 - the one they don't have. Suzuha has to travel back in time to 1975 and find it, but her time machine appears to be broken. Suddenly, authorities can be heard coming closer and closer, so Okarin does what he does best - distract them with his crazy mad-scientist antics while Kurisu and Suzuha escape through another way. During the whole thing, the misunderstanding between Suzuha and Kurisu had been somewhat cleared for now (or at least their differences are put aside). They quickly meet up again. In this worldline, the Time Machine/Satellite did not crash (Actually, episode 16 it clearly shows it did). Instead, Suzuha assumes it broke during the storm on the day Okarin went looking for Suzuha when she did not return after trying to find her father. So now Okarin decides to time leap back some 50 hours in order to fix the time machine within two days. Before time leaping, Okarin says he does not care about saving the world; Mayuri is who he wants to save. After time leaping, Okarin tells the rest what's happening so far and what he wants done in two days. Daru doesn't think he can do it, but he ends up agreeing to try repairing Suzuha's time machine. Suzuha will have to go soon. What sucks is that she still hasn't found her father, so Mayuri and the rest of the gang propose helping her look for him. Daru and Suzuha end up chatting about her father. Just the two of them. *Suzuha with tears in her eyes during while talking to Daru* ...:( Afterwards, Suzuha tells Okarin that he is the only one who can tell when the world pasts into the beta world with his Reading Steiner. We also find out that in the future, Okarin founded the resistance group that Suzuha was a part of and Kurisu, being a member of SERN, contributed the most in the development of SERN's time machine. Unfortunately, both are dead by 2036. It skips on ahead to where we see Okarin and Suzuha visiting random jewelery shops hoping to find out if anyone had seen the pin badge that Suzuha always has with her - the only thing she has left from her father. They meet some shady jewelery seller on the street who Okarin thinks does not speak Japanese, only to find out he does (lol @ his English). Okarin gives him a card so he can call him if he finds out anything. After leaving, Okarin looks at the badge. On the badge, we see it says "OSHM***A 2010" - what could it possible mean? Later on, Okarin and Suzuha meets up with Mayuri whom is handing out posters in order to help look for Suzuha's father. The thing is - she is telling the people on the street that Suzuha's father is a kidnapper. Well, she was only saying that to attract their attention. After that, they meet up with Kurisu who thinks Suzuha's father is a kidnapper, but she doesn't realize that Mayuri was the one who made that up. Skipping ahead, everyone is back at the sattelite. Daru is almost done repairing the time machine! Suzuha "praises" Daru for his work (guess he's not just a fat otaku afterall). In response to that, Daru starts saying perverted things to Suzuha (LOL how very wrong?). Mayuri thinks Daru and Suzuha look great together, although Kurisu and Okarin completely disagree. They may look great together, but Mayuri can't explain how or why. While Suzuha and Okarin chat about how much she appreciates the effort they put into finding her father as well as allowing her to become a lab member and hang out with everyone, Okarin receives a call from that weird shop keeper. Apparently, he knows something about Suzuha's father. And the episode ends like that... Pretty awesome if I do say so myself. There were so many subtle hints at who Suzha's father was in this episode. However, we'll know for sure soon enough...next episode should be when they reveal who Suzuha's father is. Looking forward to the next episode. |

| Dun dun dunnn. "Guess what, if you erase the existance of that first D-mail from SERN's servers, everything should change. ( ¬‿¬)" And it's like, kinda strange listening to Dal and Suzuha talking about Suzuha's dad. ( ¬‿¬) Also, Okarin's Engrish is fucking awesome. Just sayin'. "Hey, mister. I am mad scientist. Is so cooool. Son of a bitch!" |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Okarin English was awesome! Great, a cliffhanger. |
Made me drop dead. |
| Mayushii's plan to find Suzuha's father was funny, and it was even funnier when Kurisu told them she overheard that Suzuha's father may be a kidnapper, lol. Based on hints in this and a previous episode, I still think Daru will be revealed to be Suzuha's father. It would actually make sense too. |
| Ara ara. |
| Well, I guess that Daru may be actually Suzuha's dad, in Boukan no Rebellion we see that her father was a crazy Otaku so... And Okarin's engrish was priceless. Again. |
| Dam cliff hanger. mad scientist Is so cooool. Suzuha's father could be Daru. |
| nice change of pace from all the depressing stuff but i have a feeling it's gonna go right back to it soon :( highlight of the episode for me was |
 |
| Okarin's engrish had me rolling. That "son of a bitch" line got me... Great episode. Also agreeing on Suzu's dad being Daru - they look alike(the hair/eyes).. Pretty interesting to know that in Suzuha's timeline Kurisutina is kinda of like a god... |
 |
| site finally working. I don't know what was better Mad Scientist Engrish or .... "My handle is ..... HOOUIN KYOUMA" *simultaneously Kurisu and Suzuha answer* "WE KNOW" hahaha Hoouin Kyouma, best character of the season? or of all time? |
 |
| Okarin's English is awesome :P |

| Great episode, Okarin engrish win and the story is moving along nicely. I wonder how Daru will react or if they'll keep it a secret from him, assuming he is the father. |
| Okarin's engrish was the highlight of this episode. Nuff said. CLIFFHANGERS AGAIN? |
     |
| This episode was also awesome. Especially the scene when Okabe was speaking English <3 |
| Son of a bitch FTW |
| Okabe is truly a "MAD SCIENTIST" |
 |
| His Engrish was epic win. |

 |
| As usual, great episode. Okabe's english was easily the highlight of the episode, haha! |
| hey hey hey hey no |
| Okarin's Engrish made my day. Giving Part-Time Warrior some much needed screen time was a very nice touch. Can't wait for the next episode, we are counting on you, you mad scientist. 5/5. |
| The Engrish was definitely the best part; I never knew that with enough libido, one could spout such awesome words. |

| It's obvious that Daru is Suzuha's father. I loved Okabe's English. |
 |
 Daru is so kawaii! Wear your hat like this, please!  OMG! The neko-chan, they are asking the neko-chan! Haha xD Light episode, it reminded me how much i love the comedy moments in Steins Gate. And those moment don't spoil the story and the atmosphere. Okabe's "son of a bitch" managed to make me laugh xD. I love how the 'camera' was shaking when a little red light was shown then focused on Suzuha. And yes - the very first D-mail. We know who is Suzuha's father after ep. 15. |
| I don't think no one know who are Suzaru Mother yet, haven't been playing VN so I dunno. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Didn't Suzuha say "Amane" was her mother's name? So I doubt Rumiho....I don't think her mother will even be introduced - she doesn't have much to do with the actual plot like her dad.(I assume). |

ayeyosteven said: LOL....great moment in the episode...SONUVABITCH. I was glad to see a little humor back on this show, after two straight serious episodes. Can't wait to see who's Suzuha's dad....OH WAIT....thanks to you fucking MAL idiots who love to spoil shit simply to increase your e-penis I already know who it is. Thanks a lot fuckers... |
| lol I loved Okarin's line!!!! You know what would be sad/funny at the same time? If Suzuha was her own mother....just saying. |

OMG and OMG. The plot advancement is astronomical. After seeing Kamisama Dolls #2 this episode of Steins Gate should receive the award of most amazing plot advancement ever. Simply put Suzuha/Daru. Everything is revealed concerning Suzuha and boy was it a ride even though once again I read the VN of this a little. As such I find Suzuha really hot in the following, simply put when she was in the resistance she looked nice those pants and shirt. I really liked in the beginning seeing Suzuha run with a black/white theme of a flashback. Man same way I found Kamisama dolls interesting. I could not believe how much of a massacre the forces of SERN do in the spoiler OMG, for a first time Suzuha blushes in the following,  well I don't remember her blushing at all and another thing is that she cried in the spoiler About Suzuha/Daru, going to talk about each and both because it is really crucial for me to explain what I though of it as I knew things ahead of time. IMO that really got me much more in their situation and saying anymore. Just saying that knowing things ahead made me so much more appreciate this part as other who don't know may have been huh at some of these. I was kind of afraid of this part as Suzuha mentions that she has to return to 1975. I would have been boring to have Suzuha just go to 1975 suddenly. I so like of course Daru can fix it as soon as he got in! Of course I was sure he could. This must be the most serious face of Daru I have seen up to now in the spoiler About Makise, Makise was very lovely with her blush in the spoiler About Mayurii, one of things I loved about Mayurii this episode is having death fuck off and giving Mayurii her nice smiling face here. Of the most amazing poses the following 2 are the best in the spoiler Makise here was hearing clerks talk about Amane being a kidnapper. Well I was damn happy that Mayurii did not get killed in this episode again. Some points about Okabe and other things.
About the end, the end of the episode leaves me with a sour taste in the spoiler |

| A bit of a laidback and breather episode. Kind of surprising given the tension and action of the last few episodes. But it was great nonetheless. Daru is obviously the father given all the clues but we'll just see. Oh and <insert comment about Okarin's Engrish> Finally MySQL Error free. What happened? |
 |
ayeyosteven said: Can't wait to see who's Suzuha's dad....OH WAIT....thanks to you fucking MAL idiots who love to spoil shit simply to increase your e-penis I already know who it is. After all those hints+this week's ep. you can guess who it is >.> It's obvious. |
alexcampos said: Can't wait to see who's Suzuha's dad....OH WAIT....thanks to you fucking MAL idiots who love to spoil shit simply to increase your e-penis I already know who it is. Thanks a lot fuckers... There was enough hints. It was all a guess. I'm sure you got the hint also. |
| I literally started clapping and doing fist pumps when Okabe was like "Sonnofabetch!" I know everybody's talking about that, but still, I had to also. XD Awesome episode! |
| Damn daru must of hooked up with a hot chick ^^ Man Suzuha and Daru are so cute together (in a father daughter kinda way) okarin is epicness 5/5 |
| It would be kind of ironic if Suzuha's parents ended up being Okarin and Kurisu. I know that it's not true due to some spoilers but oh well. I like that idea. Can't wait for next episode to see how Okarin and Suzuha find out Suzuha's father's identity. They will be shocked. |
PerlaNemesis said: They will be shocked. Imagine, how he will be shocked... |
 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 |
bakuramariks said: After all those hints+this week's ep. you can guess who it is >.> It's obvious. Actually, I was referring to the fact that people have been talking about Suzuha's dad since episode 10. The element of surprise is completely gone....well, whatever....I'm still looking forward to the next episode. |
| I am mazu scientist!!! xD, Okarin ROCKS!!! xD Z-flame said: If Daru is Suzuha's dad like most of you are saying, then who is her mother. My guess is that its probably Feiris. if that happens i will actually LOL so much, because... his fantasies will become reality!!! xD |
| Cool episode and lol at Okarin's English. |
mystik said: Of all times; without any hesitation <3Hoouin Kyouma, best character of the season? or of all time? And Okarin's engrish was indeed the best part. Everything being all happy and cheerful scares me as it's of screaming that something bad is going to happen in the later episodes. Yup, wouldn't mind sudden 'BAMS' at all. I should not have spoiled myself about Suzuha's father. I so regret it now. So if SERN is collecting data from all over the world about time machines then they should already know about the lab members visiting the satellite right? It would be fun to see SERN using the time machine to hunt down Suzuha. |

VincentArisato said: Well, I guess that Daru Geee you think? </sarcasm> 13man18 said: It's obvious that Daru is Suzuha's father. I loved Okabe's English. THis. Otherwise great episode that just confirmed the idea i had about undoing the sms hjinks from first episode, however that does arise a lot of questions, mostly on what and how much would change. Hopefully it won't be "and suddenly dinosaurs everywhere" Otherwise, 4/5 |

RealScreamer said: Didn't Suzuha say "Amane" was her mother's name? So I doubt Rumiho....I don't think her mother will even be introduced - she doesn't have much to do with the actual plot like her dad.(I assume). Feyris/Rumiho is not her mother since yes she clearly said 'Amane' was her mother's name. The only possible way is if she changed her name for hiding purposes but ahh. I, by mistake, heard on a Japanese site her mother's name is Yuki Amane. We don't hear or see much of her apparently. |

 |
| Okarin's "Sonuvabitch" cracked me up XDDD so much win going on there Why must this be so awesome??? :D |
 |
| Okabe cracked me up. XD The flashback was so great! Great epi! |
| I love random messages! :D |
| Damn, it’s looking more and more like Daru is Suzuha’s dad. D: I really want it to be Okabe! Blah. |
| SONUVABITCH. That's what I call "cool" english!!! :D |
