| Great episode. Cried when Okabe went back to the original timeline and was acting like a mad scientist again. Also, will Okabe never be able to go help Kurisu with her dad? :( |
animelly said: WWIII? First time today that I checked if there's anything after the ending song for this anime. Well this is not exactly surprising. Titor of OUR world also claimed to have come to stop World War 3 from happening(which would tear apart most of USA into warring states and pretty much set the world into wasteland). Undoing the emails, we went back to that titor and that timeline. Can't wait for next episode to see what happens and how this all ends. Not to mention Yay we will finally see this world's Suzuha. also people: rewatch episode 1 of this show like right now. Might give an idea on where this might go. It certainly gave and idea to me and it certainly would explain a lot of things that STILL do not make sense in first episode |
 |
| Well my question was answered after watching this episode XDD I was wondering why Suzuha time traveled in the beta world line. She doesn't have to travel back to change the future but now its clear. Its for a different cause this time. PS: The ending really feels like a movie trailer XDD -prepares popcorn- |
Misheru-hime said: Kurisu...waaa... kurisu...noooo!!! XD I can't see Okarin like that XD but I'm sure that suzuha will help him with something XD!!! But....why....kissing, love confession and...she just vanishes from everybody memories XD and... wasn't kurisu supposed to be part from SERN from suzuha's point of view???? something here is pretty annoying... the worst part is waiting for a whole week to know what's next...but, right now, I think we must stop crying... I'm guessing that's what the next episode will be about. This beta world's Kurisu was the one with SERN. Suzuha was probably the one that stabbed her. Next episode may explain that to us since Suzuha is obviously back to prevent the future war from happening. What I want to know is what will happen if Kurisu survives...will the line diverge again causing Mayuri to die again? |

I hope I'm wrong though, or I'd have spoiled myself... youre nearly as crazy as okarin  I'm going to go on the fact you spoiled it and this IS what happens. Also the last time he sees Kurisu in episode 1 before death he says "The next time we meet we will be enemies" SO FML On 999 different levels since im a diehard kurisu fan. OH SH*T BRAIN BLAST OH I JUST CHECKED THIS is speculation that i believe to be true. |

LadyOrihime said: Yeah I know but that those not meant he can't pull out guts when it needs to be.Yumekichi11 said: Like everyone says the thing with Suzuha could be a original ending where I see Okabe either going into the future to finish off SERN or do something to cut them out in the present like invading their HQ. It's possible the last 2 episodes may outdo the VN if the action is EPIC. Watch out VN people, you may get impressed. Yumekichi11 said: Confirmed but not impossible to change a few things in it to make it more EPIC like putting in action and stuff. That makes whether True Ending into an Original Ending. Perhaps it may be so to some. No thanks. Okabe is a Mado Scientisto, not an action hero XD kaimax said: But still really cool. I loved that flashback of hers and how she looked like hence the pic but she still can kick ass no problem! She looks like a G.I. Jane!MorningGlory said: She's Older too.kusushi said: can't wait next. she's gonna come back. Suzuha the warrior. freedom fighter vs warrior Suzuha in beta is much more cool kenken55 said: And that is exactly why I liked and wanted to have Mayuri kiss him this time. That's why Mayuri will be always #1, because of that first kiss and what she took she took. DragonsWhip said: W-wait, then who was Okabe's first kiss with? spoiler for visual novel Fai said: I will try but still busy on my side. I will try, it looks like it is becoming important. also people: rewatch episode 1 of this show like right now. Might give an idea on where this might go.

| Nooo......Kurisu >< Okarin could nearly hear Kurisu confess her feeling before the world line was changed T_T |

| Mayuri may have been saved but it looks and feels like epic loss, all in all I never felt like Mayuri was a strong character...maybe she's meant to be lost in time *evil heh*. I sense a lot of hesitation, regret, and denial just to cross that 1%. I mean that loud speech after crossing the 1% barrier, that's remorseful denial, not a victory. If Okabe's already numb from all the Mayuri deaths, why open up a new wound like losing the one you love o.O ...sadist! |
| I'm just to say this SERN doesn't have anything related with the True end.. and kill all the new Kurisu is with SERN in the Beta Worldline speculations. In the Beta Worldline they don't have any "reason" to go gung-ho and kill people for knowledge. They're basically back to being "nerds in a lab". |

| IM GOING NUTS!!!! IM JUST ECSTATIC!!! i barely can stop screaming! this episode was AMAZING so much happened and it feels so depressing that Kurisu actually had to die but at least they had their farewell kiss so I'm a little glad now :] So Mayuri actually knew what was going on?? or at least she had a hunch but still something feels wrong especially for that ending what the hell WWIII?!?! GOD I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!! I may actually bang my head against the wall D: |

Yumekichi11 said: I think we have our Okabe within the reaches of Steins Gate itself. Now if they could include some crazy guardian of that Gate from Saturn would be amazing but I know they would not wild like that. What is it with you and Saturn? Not hating, it just intrigues me. What does Saturn have to do with Steins Gate? |

kenken55 said: DragonsWhip said: W-wait, then who was Okabe's first kiss with? spoiler for visual novel didnt okabe also technically kissed shining finger while struggling to get her phone ._.? or did my memory fail me lulz anyways okabe x kurisu episode was brilliant, an episode of pure okabe x kurisu :D i almost teared up when kurisu reappeared again at the end and when okabe's lab coat didnt have the pink stiches T__T and wow world war III and suzuha returns :3 10/10 in my book |
RedMage23 said: It's a theory I came up with upon investigating Saturn and its mystical nature. Apparently it is the Planet that is governed by a God that is master of space and time. He has many names depending on the culture. It is also believed that is why in Steins Gate it is shown constantly on the calendar IMO. That's all really. It's a constant mystical reference.Yumekichi11 said: I think we have our Okabe within the reaches of Steins Gate itself.

| OMG Kurisu... I just imagine what Okabe is feeling... T_T I Freaking love this anime. |
 |
| Those Radio Hall and kissing scenes. Great adapation. It's much emotional than the VN. But I hoped that they mend Kurisu route with Mayuri's one. Okabe told Mayuri the truth and they rush to Akihabara station to catch up with Kurisu. Mayuri hugs Kurisu and cries that she's useless and feels terribly sorry for Kurisu's sacrifice. Kurisu smiles and says it can't help, and that she wishes her happiness with Okabe. After the shift to Beta Worldline, when Okabe and Mayuri walk by the Radio Hall, Mayuri suddenly feels that there was a close friend of her said he/she wishes her happiness, and wonders who that might be. Okabe is shock that she "recalls" the past events. Then with a bittersweet feeling, Okabe says it's probably God. Mayuri reaches out to the sky like she always does and says "Thank you". Now that's one hell of a touching scene. And I hoped they use the song Butterfly of Fate instead of Gate of Steiner as the ending theme. |

| This episode was... breathtaking. Music was top notch. The episode did not once lose my attention. Chalk full of emotion. To have such a beautiful declaration love to only be torn apart. 2011 must be the year of legendary anime. I can honestly give it one of the highest honours I can possibly give. Episode 22 of Steins Gate was the closest any anime has gotten to the legendary level of Madoka episode 10. |

| Omg... I still could believe what I just saw lol. And to think that Okabe wanted a second kiss... Pretty bold of him LOL <3 this. |
| Kurisu T.T can't wait for the next eps and okaeri suzuha |

Episode 22 of Steins Gate was the closest any anime has gotten to the legendary level of Madoka episode 10. Same here. The feelings I got from this episode, were exactly like how I felt when I watched Madoka episode 10. 2011 sure is shaping up to be a great year for anime. Steins;Gate, if it ends well, will also probably become one of my top favorites. |
| Steins;Gate is my favorite anime of the year and easily on my Top 10 of all time ... what an emotional wringer, saying goodbye to Kurisu just as he realizes she's the one he's in love with. :'( I don't understand why he chooses to save Mayuri instead of her, if she's the one he truly loves. I don't see him and Mayushii as a couple, but maybe things are different in the beta worldline, where Okarin never acquired his 'harem'. Of course 'Who do I save' isn't the same as 'Who am I in love with', necessarily ... I honestly got a little faked out by the sequence before the end credits. I had no idea where they were going to go from here ... everything seemed wrapped up pretty nice and tidy. Then I watch the ED, the hourglass DOESN'T come back together, and then Daru gets a call :D World War III you say? Fucking EPIC. Wonder how Okarin'll pull this one off, especially without the Time Leap, the IBN or the D-Mail. And with only two episodes to do it in, too ... to say nothing of figuring out a way to save both Mayuri and Kurisu, if such a path even exists. |
| Well it was bound to happen... |
 |
| Q_________________Q I just have a lot of feelings.... That WW3 was ... surprising... This episode made me love this anime even more and I didn't think it was possible Q^Q <3 |

Maybe  Seriously, it's impossible to guess how this will end, because a couple of things haven't been explained AT ALL yet. I will tell you that there are two clues in the preview, that are in the first episode, and they will have a HUGE impact in episode 23 (maybe even into episode 24...I don't know how they can expand the epilogue) If you go back to episode 1, note down things that seemed odd, or have not been explained at all in the past 20 episodes. |

| I'm out before/after spoilers, but this episode was fantastic. It has been quite some time since a show had this much impact on me. Well done, can't wait to see how things will turn out. I have high hopes for a grand finale. 5+/5. |
| So... They will bring Kurisu back somehow. She'd have something to do with WWIII though. |
badbluesplayer said: So Mayuri actually knew what was going on?? or at least she had a hunch but still something feels wrong especially for that ending what the hell WWIII?!?! WW3 stuff was NOT in the world in which Okabe was before this shift. In that line, it was a CERN-caused dystopia with CERN ruling the world. In this line, CERN has literally not started doing bad stuff since Okabe's actions are what triggered it. And we already know that those around Okabe are starting to experience multiple memories, either as fullblown dual memory set(Feyris) or dreams(Mayuri has dreamed her every death and Kurisu had dreams of her death too) |
|
| Im so glad Suzuha is back, and I wonder whats going to happen now.. Things are getting really interesting now haha. |
| omg, kurisu x okabe :D so happy and sad. omg wth WW3? |
 10 - [A+] Personal favourite: Best of its genre.9 - [A] Excellent: Highly enjoyable and memorable. 8 - [B] Great: Genuinely liked and worthwhile. 7 - [C] Average: It's average, still entertaining. 6 - [D] Poor: It's aight. Flawed show. 5 - [E] Bad: Why did i even watch this. < - [F] Uhh: Nani the fuck?! |
| Dear gods, if this keeps going like this, its definitely making my top 5. MAN this series hasn't failed a bit yet! Props on Okabe not stumbling / failing the confession even a bit. World War III? OHSHI- |
| ;___; probably my favorite episode of all the episodes (just have to see if the final episodes will be even better? Still, I doubt it). That episode just made me love the pairing even more -- it's now officially one of the few favorite pairings. <3 Just. Freaking. Amazing. |

This doesn't eliminate the facts that they still run the Program Zeta, they still throw people into micro blackholes, there are still Echelon and Rounder. It's just they failed to perfect time travel technology before the war broke out. You will be surprised to know their "noble" involvement in the post-war era. I have a feeling that this whole WWIII mess is also the doing of the Committee of 300, despite SERN has failed to do their biddings. No worldline can escape the grip of the Illuminati. |

| This anime is so awesomely awesome that I'd shed my some of my awesome manly tears. Those scenes just cant get out of my head right now. Just goosebumps. |

| Great episode. Now i ship Kurisu with Okabe :) Told you Suzuha will be back! Maybe not the same Suzuha...but there are still many suzuha around. Hehe. I hope they will save Kurisu somehow. |

You might be interested in the upcoming Steins;Gate 8bit for the PC. Takumi is the main villian that has stolen the IBN5100 and turned the future into a moe paradise. LOFL. 8bit MOE. GJ Mages.

And btw, all those test subjects didn't know they will turn into jello. =) |
