| WOW!!!!!!! |
| I had a feeling FB was Mr. Braun, cuz there are so many twists in this anime that FB had to be someone they knew. And FFFFFFFFFFFFFF, choose between Mayuri and Makise? I like how Makise's talking so casually about the first D-Mail. "So that's the one where I got stabbed or whatever, right?" and Okabe's all like "FUCK. THIS. SHIT." Alpha = Mayuri dead and dystopia occurs, Beta = Makise dead OMG THERE BETTER BE A GAMMA TIMELINE (or Charlie or whatever the fuck comes after alpha beta)!!!!!!! Please let it exist or I'm going to cry for reals |
 |
| So FB is Mr. Braun. Everything goes well until... Okabe will enter in a world line wherein Kurisu is stabbed. DIS JUST GOT REAL AGAIN. |
 |
| I forgot all about how Kurisu was killed before all of this started. But in that world line Maruyi gets a metal Oopa so it evens out. I don't know if I'm just good at predicting or what but I thought Mr. Braun was FB. Only because his last name started with a B and as far as I remember we never heard his first name either. I wasn't shocked at all when he pulled the gun on Moeka. We knew from the get go that she was going to die on the 15th and since it showed the date changing on his phone it only made it more obvious that she was going to die one way or another. Only 4 episodes left and they don't have a lot of things left to do so something's bound to go wrong. |
 |
| Aww... poor Moeka and Mr Braun. Wow, Okabe finally noticed: if he deletes ALL the d-mails, Kurisu will die! Sad but true. :( |
 |
| Okabi would die, that is waaaaay much pain for one person to handle it :/ You can't feel relieved or happy for more than 5 mins in this anime, the thing is I never forgot Makasi's death since episode 1. It kept bugging me and it still does :( I hope they have a happy ending for this brain teaser anime. |
| My Anime List | |
| Now I feel bad for Moeka :c Didn't see that coming, Braun being FB :O, Goddammned SERN!!!!!!!!!!!! Kurisu not even fazed knowing she was stabbed before the first D-mail, guess the reason why Suzuha hated Kurisu will be revealed... Great episode overall. |
 |
| What a big surprise it was that FB was Braun! I forgot that time line when Kurisu dies, I know that he won't be able to save everyone...unless he sacrifices himself :( |
 |
| Oh well, nice twist. I guess Christina is done for. I don't believe that Okabe is going to bump into another world line where both of them survive. Maybe he will try though. I'm a little sad if this happens since Christina at least has a little bit of personality to her compared to Miss Blank-like-a-piece-of-paper-tuturu. |
 |
| Oh my god, I hope Okabe doesn't go insane after this. |
 |
| (rewatching) Still quite a shocker when Mr. Braun shoots himself. Interesting his alias (Ferdinand Braun) is what Okabe has always called him... |
  |
I've lost count how many times I've rewatched this masterpiece but only now I've realized how amazingly the Braun scene was crafted. His speech before he shoots himself sends chills down my spine every single time I'm watching the episode. And the fact that the scene keeps going back and forth showing Nae waking up and making breakfast. One detail I only now found out is this.  The meal his daughter was preparing has a fucking egg yolk spilled in such a way that it symbolizes her father's suicide. |
  |
| Yes, Okabe. Yes. That's the final consequence, Kurisu or Mayuri. Why didn't you realize it from the start? |
| oh shit CHRISTINA |
| Oh shit. I'm fairly certain there's going to be some kind of third option. The Beta worldline does sound interesting, though. |
| I had a hunch that Braun would be FB but had nothing to base it on. I was surprised when he actually was FB. Also has Okabe ever slept since he first started time leaping after Mayuri's death? |
| The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye... |
| Damn Mr. Braun is Facebook! |
| Goddamn. |
 |
| That's, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a plot twist. Choices are never easy. |
 |
| Looks like he’s finally realized what I called ever since he said he had to reverse all the D-mails. |

I completely forgot Kurisu dies before everything happens. Shit just got more real. I cried when Mr Braun died. And Moeka ._. This is heartwrecking T~T |
| Oh damn.... that was unexpected. Mr. Braun is actually FB???? And so MR BRAUN TOLD MOEKA AND PUT HER IN DESPAIR TO KILL MAYURI? WHICH MEANS I SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO HATES FB RATHER THAN HATING MOEKA. FUCK YOU FB! Well... we'd know how this ends. Okarin will fall in love with Kurisu and won't let her die. Then Kurisu said she won't go against fate bla-bla-bla. And then somehow the timeline exists where everyone is alive. now again, this is why I want a multiple universe where all girls can live happily with Okarin. Just like VN endings. |
 |
| Mister Braun's real name was actually Mr. Braun; what a surprise! Never would've expected him to be FaceBook either, nor to go as far as offing himself for the sake of his family. And here we are finally: the last D-mail to undo that everyone and their mom remembered expect of course Okabe himself. Will it be Kurisu? Will it Mayuri? I have no fucking idea. |

| Wow didn't see this coming at all. Braun is actually Braun and FB, and he kills Moeka and himself. Very intense and dramatic. O_o I did however, foresee Okabe's present dilemma back when Mayuri first died. I'm going to interpret Braun's decision as foreshadowing and maintain the other part of the prediction I made right after episode 12 until it's proven otherwise. A toast to you, Mad Scientist, for a tomorrow may not lie ahead for you. |
   |
| Oh gods. Oh gods. The OUTRO! THE OUTRO!! I CAN'T TAKE THIS! |
 |
| Moeka actually did something nice! I knew Braun was involved somehow. Yay! He got the IBN back! Damn, what a paradox. |
  |
| Crazy how Okabe's delusions are actually coming true, like him fighting an evil corporation and Mr. Braun being a great enemy. |
| Wait doesn't someone have to be at the Microwave whenever a D-Mail is sent? How did they send one with Mr. Brauns phone after his suicide if no one was at the lab to manage the microwave and make sure the TV was on? |
 |
| this episode Ending is by far one of the best endings ive ever seen in all anime ive watched |
 |
| shit just after going through all this trouble to prevent someone from dying, someone still dies. I still don't know how Okabe time traveled without a machine to move from Kirisu's death timeline to the current timeline. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |

I still don't know how Okabe time traveled without a machine to move from Kirisu's death timeline to the current timeline. He didn't time travel, he just sent the D-mail which shifted the wordlline. D-mails don't actually make you travel through time, it's just the mail that goes back in time and changes the events that occurred. Basically, the D-mail he sent is detected by SERN who use the information to eventually take the time-leap machine and engineer a full-fledged time machine later in the future, thus gaining control of time and essentially ruling the world. Because of this, Suzuha travels back in time to the present where the time machine crashes into the building and cancels the conference that would have otherwise occurred. No conference = Kurisu is not in the building so she does not die. |

No conference = Kurisu is not in the building so she does not die. oh yes I forgot that Daru had his phone connected to the microwave this is how they discovered D-mail. I saw a comment in the thread about how could they send a D-mail from Mr Braun's phone while no one was in the lab to operate the phone microwave. Now that's a question. |

Niveen_Sleem said: I saw a comment in the thread about how could they send a D-mail from Mr Braun's phone while no one was in the lab to operate the phone microwave. Now that's a question. They originally created microwave to operate it remotely, you can see Kurisu activating it by her phone while Okabe was sending dmail from Mr Braun's phone. |

| The ending of this episode reminded me of the final decision in LIFE IS STRANGE |
 |
| omg wait, how did we forget that. Nooo. We don't want Kuriso to die either :c |
| Okay, great. That is just what I was afraid of :/ |

| that plot twist at the end was fuckin great |
Sanguis said: we must find a world where both liveAnd the plot thickens! Now that we've got yet another twist and mindfuck makes me love this show even more. Oh noes, Kurisu has to die in order for Mayuri to live....I don't want that happen! I'm sure Okabe is smart enough to somehow avoid doing that and let them both live! Please don't let her die, Okabe. ;__: |
| Oh shit. No harem ending for Okabe. He has to pick a girl... |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| No Kurisu NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I don't want her to die shit. |
| I...I had entirely forgotten that the first D-mail was the one he sent to prevent Kurisu's death.... I would be devastated to see Kurisu no longer exist. That would be a nightmare.... why is she smiling?! But, is there not a way around this?? Kurisu's machine works...can he teleport to the time before she invented the time leap machine? If so, he might be able to just prevent her death, even if he does reverse his initial D-mail... he retains all his memories, after all... But there's no proof anyway that he NEEDS to reverse his first action to obtain the IBM....or wait....does his "invention" of the time machine lead to the same ending as the one where Kurisu invented it? He never understood the power of his Phone Microwave (name subject to change) until he sent the first D-mail....so...CERN would never.... oh my god.... |
