Eng dub scene... disgusting

If okabe 2 saw kurisu dead(which she isn't) wouldn't he send a mail to daru resulting in a d mail causing the STERN distopia timeline?

I don't see the plot hole here, the timeline after Okabe saves Kurisu creates a totally peaceful timeline from the moment her father boards a plane to Russia without the research documents. Okabe 2 as you call him is just the Okabe of that worldline, that's why paradoxes are to be avoided as Suzuha says, which means she implies seeing yourself from different points in the worldline is bad, which means two versions of the same person can exist in one worldline instant. The timeline he created after saving Kurisu is the same one in which Okabe 2 exists. Okabe says something to the effect of, "You'll have the craziest 3 weeks of your life, good luck" to himself, suggesting that this is all part of one timeline after all. So at the start of the show when Okabe sees Kurisu lying in the pool of blood she is not actually dead. That's the whole point. He had to complete the loop and fake the start to get the favorable end. Thus he would not disappear as he is just the same Okabe but from 3 weeks in the future.

I will try to articulate my thoughts carefully as to not stumble and contradict the line of my reasoning myself, but hear me out. EDIT. THE MORE I THINK THE LESS SENSE IT ALL MAKES AND THE MORE PROBLEMS I FIND. I SPENT 3 HOURS ON ALL THIS AND IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE HOLY SHIT. IT'S SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO ANSWER MY OWN COMMENT TO FIT ALL THIS IN. By definition given to us by Okabe 0, Stein's Gate is the timeline where Okabe deceived himself, and thus, deceived the world, as he propelled forward the chain of events that got him to episode 23 where branching between SG 0 and SG EP 24 takes place, while ensuring that Kurisu remained alive. There indeed was a mistake that contradicted the established innerworkings of the time machiene and time travel, and that being Suzuha disappearing at all. As we have learned in Ep. 16, time machiene allows it's passenger to traverse time within a certain timeline. That is evident from the fact that after Suzuha's departure into the past, she got her letter to the same Okabe she left behind, the continuity of events, mainly the wreckege of the time machiene by the storm, being in place, and the timeline not changing through her movement in time alone, which is evident by the fact that Okabe's Reading Steiner does not activate after she sets off. What also is the case, is that after Okabe removes his latest D-mail, that outcome changes, as he is thrusted into the timeline where he did not interfere with her and she got in 1975 safely. The question that is begotten is the following: can a time machiene move between different timelines, or is it limited to the one timeline it originates from? Answer to this is provided to us by S;G0, in instance of Mayuri talking to herself through the phone. If they could only move within their own timeline, it would make no sense, because from that interaction they spurred the necessary step to keep Okabe from giving up on reaching Stein's Gate timeline. Thus we have conclusive evidence that time machiene can behave both ways. You can either stay within one worldline or traverse between them. Or, rather, use it in a way that branches new timelines off. By the same vein, this single interaction disregards the supposed rule that there can be no interactions between the same person of different timelines. Because such limitation makes no sense. What is actually implied, is that such interaction would spur out a different timeline, creating confusion and probably resulting in convergence provoking disasterous outcomes. To better literate the concept, I reffer to Homestuck, as it did time travel in the best most consistent way to date in fiction in my opinion. There are two types of time loops: stable ones, which are self-contained, and unstable ones. Difference is that the latter ones are branching off more timelines, while stable ones do not. What does that mean: Imagine if Okabe had an interaction with himself at some point in time, which would go as crossing one another in the corridor and giving one another a high-five. Disregard the content of the situation itself, for the purposes of the thought only key components are 2 Okabes, point in time and interaction. For such an interaction to take place in a certain point in time would have to mean one of two possible things: A) There is 1 Okabe in this timeline: Present Okabe that is the Okabe 1 who gives a high-five, and HIS FUTURE SELF, which means, that at some point in Okabe-1's future he traveled back in time, met his PAST (from his current point of view) self and gave his past self a high-five. Present Okabe then moves through time into the future, becomes future Okabe, meets his past self, gives him a high-five and moves on. The timeloop is self-sufficient and closed off, with no extra timelines made. B) There are 2 Okabes in this timeline: Present Okabe (still Okabe-1), who originates from this very timeline, and Okabe-2, who came to this timeline from a different timeline. This means, that Okabe-1 never becomes Okabe-2 and there are in a single point of continuity, exist 2 Okabes from different timelines. Such would be an open-ended time loop. Mayuri's situation in S;G 0 is fitting into the second category, because at one point of continuity there are two Mayuri's present: Mayuri-0, who is inside the time machiene, and Mayuri-1, who received a call, and they are from different timelines, because Mayuri-1 NEVER ENDS UP in SG;0 timeline outcome, including the time machiene, which in itself is a point of the new timeline branching out. This interaction is the pivotal point that establishes path to Stein's Gate. Plan of self-deception was, on a small scale, a self-contained timeloop: Since Okabe in EP. 1 never checked if Kurisu actually was dead by, say, checking her pulse, it is possible that the events we see at the start of SG are from the Stein's Gate timeline, the same one that Okabe in Ep. 24 operates during operation Skuld, and that does fit perfectly with example of high-five from above. That point is also supported by the fact that before Okabe in EP1 sent his first D-mail, there was no time machiene stuck inside the walls of Radio building. Which result in EP1 pre D-mail sharing timeline with either EP 24 or 23 / 23B since the press-conference of Dr. Nakabachi took place, Okabe attended and saw Kurisu dead / presumably dead. What is also important, is that time machiene travels by themselves never triggered Reading Steiner in Okabe. Which means, that they never changed the timeline relative to his position in continuum. Because the number shifts according to HIS relation to the timelines, since he is the only one who can clearly observe shift of the divergence meter as it happens, which means, that both arrival of Suzuha in EP. 22 of S;G, the departure from there to failed Kurisu rescue attempt in EP. 23B and EP. 23, and departure from EP. 24 to successfull Kurisu rescue attempt, has happened without timeline shifting. Existence of the Okabe 0's message from S;G0 2025 however means, that in order for that timeloop to be established, S;G0 had to happen somewhere in the array of possible outcomes, as to enable the interferance of both Okabe 0 and Mayuri 0 + Suzuha 0 in S;G 0 EP. 23 that branched EP. 23 of S;G from EP. 23B that created S;G0.

What if Okabe's destiny was to get in a coma not only in 2025 but also in other timelines and (not every but) multiple times his empty body was destined to be re-filled with past memories from the time jumps, and then more than one of them eventually managed to actually use the time machine offscreen instead of just the one we were shown at the very end of 0?

wouldnt reading steiner activate? isnt that why okabe 0 traveled away? so that okabes wouldnt be riddled with trauma

Hi! Your local Akudama Drive Wiki admin here (on Miraheze) (the Fandom Wiki is closed and incomplete so please don't bother making it through the ads) (Miraheze Wiki) (Mirahe-)..... I didn't give your video a chance at first because I feel like I know everything there is to know about Akudama Drive. Which may be true. But I enjoyed watching you talk about what you love about this seriously underrated show. If anyone really wants to learn what happens in the manga-exclusive backstories, but can't buy the manga, I'm working on writing summaries for them on the Wiki as their English translation comes out. I also can't afford to buy the entire manga, but other fans have been kindly telling me which chapters include those exclusive scenes so I can focus on those. You can just visit the Wiki, look at the character's page and check if there's a spoiler banner for the manga above or inside their History section! (You guessed it, on Miraheze.) Small correction: the manga wound up starting ahead of the anime, because the anime was delayed due to... the year being 2020. Interestingly, that delay is what caused the extremely symbolic last episode to release... on Christmas Eve. If you get my meaning.

Glad someone else picked up on this because it's been bugging me for years lol. Also, on a Doylist level, Load Region of Deja Vu makes way more sense when you realize it's just trying to be Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya with Steins Gate characters.

A request… please watch sub

Incredible Vibery So much Comfort and so much DisComfort Beautiful story Goode ending

what the duck did i just watch

It took me 6 episodes to start enjoying the series, the characters don't present themselves as well as they could have, their reactions look over the top, but then by episode 12 or so everything really takes off and it keeps you bingeing it all

brosky T-T

So basically I need to rewatch it now that is the message

Full and Extra versions of the song: ua-cam.com/video/dz05OnkbiXw/v-deo.htmlsi=JkF3E7kgtZTqeK3g At long last, the sequel to the legendary Mr.Wap has been released, so behold the story of the man above kin! I wrote the lyrics, but everything else about the music is AI generated, which I thought was worth mentioning. You can do whatever you want with this song or the character of Mr.Wap, just tag me if you can so I can see the cool stuff! Hope you enjoy! The Lyrics: A time, a time long ago, there was a legend on top of legends ever told. A tale of fear, sadness, and strain, a tale of a man with a legendary name. THE MAN, WE CALL WAP! NO A LEGEND WE CALL WAP! NOW REPEAT HIS NAME "WAP"! AND YET AGAIN "WAP"! HE WAS LEGEND AMONG LEGENDS, AND THIS IS HIS LIFE STORY TOLD. The man, killed his father, in an ever raging storm, tis was merely, revenge, against a man, whom did nothing, but be old. THE MAN, WE CALL WAP! NO A LEGEND WE CALL WAP! NOW REPEAT HIS NAME "WAP"! AND YET AGAIN "WAP"! HE WAS LEGEND AMONG LEGENDS, AND THIS IS HIS LIFE STORY TOLD. Years before WAP did, what no one ever should, he was a little mittle dude, in a casket full of goo, the father found him on a road, without trace of were it was born. But little did he know, he adopted a .... THE MAN, WE CALL WAP! NO A LEGEND WE CALL WAP! NOW REPEAT HIS NAME "WAP"! AND YET AGAIN "WAP"! HE WAS LEGEND AMONG LEGENDS, AND THIS IS HIS LIFE STORY TOLD. WAP wasn't confused or in pain, he was only a thing, THAT, WE, DON'T ,GET! We could call Mr WUP psycho, but that wouldn't do justice, to the legendary tale, of a MR above kin. THE MAN, WE CALL WAP! NO A LEGEND WE CALL WAP! NOW REPEAT HIS NAME "WAP"! AND YET AGAIN "WAP"! HE WAS LEGEND AMONG LEGENDS, AND THIS IS HIS LIFE STORY TOLD. WAP wasn't confused or in pain, he was only a thing, THAT, WE, DON'T ,GET! We could call Mr WAP psycho, but that wouldn't do justice, to the legendary tale, of a MR above kin. THE MAN, WE CALL WAP, NO A LEGEND WE CALL WAP, NOW REPEAT HIS NAME "WAP" AND YET AGAIN "WAP", HE WAS LEGEND AMONG LEGENDS, AND THIS IS HIS LIFE STORY TOLD. and you know the past, now you know the legend, but the Mr lives, the WAP is still there. What will he do next, what will he accomplish? oh don't worry, You'll see the rest, you'll see it finish. As it is told.

I'm seeing a lot of different opinions that people give here, but let me just get one out of my system before i choke: Soo, everyone's just assuming that when Suzuha and Okabe1 returned after fooling Okabe2, the one who meets Kurisu on the street is Okabe1, yes? IMO it wasn't OKabe1, but instead, Okabe2 that we see in the final scene. Okabe1 must've disappeared like the vid stated. I have my reasons to believe this: Okabe2 also went through the three weeks of hell (till ep 22) but this time Suzuha didn't return from the past to warn him about the future (as it was already saved). So, in due course (like 5-6 hours after returning from deleting the 1st d-mail), he could've searched the internet about the real cause behind Kurisu's death (since this time, he didn't know that he was the true killer), but to his surprise, there was no news regarding her death. Instead, he found the news that she was found unconscious in the storage room covered with the blood of an unknown person. So, he must've concluded that it was just his misunderstanding that Kurisu had died. He was happy, but he didn't contact her as she was already supposed to have left for America (he knew this from the previous worldline). Later, he might've been hospitalized for LITERALLY ANY REASON as it was never stated that he got hospitalized due to a stab wound (he could've been sick, lost consciousness, bitten by a dog, scratched by a cat, punched by Mr. Braun, etc.). After which he could've made 8 lab member badges and distributed them to all the "members" he could find (so as to remember everyone from the three weeks as they were a big part of the suffering and had sacrificed a lot), which led to the fine scene we see in the anime. PS: I've only watched the anime, so don't kill me if something I said was wrong according to the vn

!!!

If we take into account the end of Feiris from the novel, in which Okabe arrives at a variant of the Alpha timeline, we can conclude that Okabe 0 is not the same as 1 or 2, I mean that Okabe 0 was perhaps from the Beta 1.2 variant, and Okabe 1 from the 1.5 (it's an example), even if they have gone through the same events, those small variants could determine Kurisu's death/life as it was explained to us in the series as the butterfly effect. Apart from that, Okabe 2 could never have reached Steins Gate since when returning to the Beta timeline, Suzuha sends him to August 28th to prevent the Third World War, because the Beta attraction field will always converge in a war and Kurisu's death, having to repeat the process to save Kurisu, creating a paradox that repeats itself infinitely with infinite Okabes from variants of the Beta timeline.

Good thing there will be a sequel to Steins; Gate called Steins;???😊

I always interpreted it as Okabe 1= Okabe 2. Like Okabe never actually saw Kurisu die, it was always the fake version.

I never thought of it like that. For me, the ending means that there is indeed one and only one Okabe. One that has the memories of Okabe 1 but never actually went through it all. Every time Okabe time-leaps, he does not go back, he sends his memories to a younger Okabe. I understand that's what happens in the ending. One last time-leap. After all, as you said, there is no way he could be there

My humble explanation is the next one: Okabe has the Reading Steiner, not the audience, if he has the RS theres no sense on thinking he cease to exist, or he don´t know anything about the others timelines. So, indeed, When Okabe 0 sent the video, his RS were activated and he reach the S;G but thats from his POV, not ours, the same applies to your "Okabe 1". I think all those Okabes were the same and activate the RS on diferents spots who werent been shown to the audience PS: Sorry if you see an gramatical mistake, but im not a native english so i try my best

One more wrench to throw into this machine is something I don't think I really see talked about. We see that when Okabe sent a dmail to himself, telling him to follow Suzuha, he clicked send, Reading Steiner kicked in, and poof. Suzu was still there. Okabe asked her an 'odd' question about 'What happened last night?' She said something like, "We had a big party, ya goof. Here are some pics from it." The thing is, though, that Okabe, our Okabe, had no memories of that party. By sending the dmail, the past was changed and history was manipulated to become whatever it needed to become to allow the new present to exist. In other words, the Okabe that actually attended that party got 'overwritten' by our Okabe at the time the dmail was sent. So, the Okabe who sent that dmail is the one that persisted, while the Okabe who attended that party got overwritten. The Okabe that participated in the changed events of the past got overwritten by 'present-day Okabe'. Now, how does that principle translate to the ending? We saw earlier that basically, the point in time that the dmail was sent was the very point in time where the 'party Okabe' got overwritten. Now consider the message from the future that Okabe got at the end of Season 1. That was effectively a dmail, just one that was undetectable by SERN. So, does that mean that the Okabe that actually saved Kurisu (ie, the Okabe that participated in the changed events of the past) eventually gets 'overwritten' by 'present-day Okabe'? Does that mean that the Okabe from 0 is the 'final' Okabe that gets to enjoy all the fruit of his labor? I love this show, but it sure can definitely lead to one heck of a rabbit hole! XD

just finished the series and this was a really good way of having the bittersweet timeline. 1 basically prestige himself.

They never said a paradox is impossible, if you cause it, something will happen, we just don't know what. This might be one instance of that.

The dumbest plothole in Steins Gate is turning "but he's a guy" into a girl by changing the food his mother ate when pregnant. That's not how human genetics work and I felt insulted by a "science" anime/visual novel claiming it was.

One thing I'm curious about is the way Okabe became Hououin Kyouma in the first place. In the movie there is a hint that it's actually Kurisu who told young Okabe about this name kicking off the events in the whole S;G series. This would make no sense if we consider Okabe 0 to be the first ever Okabe before the first one ever time-travelled so the one we see in Episode 1 of the original S;G (2011). The only way to justify that is that Okabe somehow came up with this name on his own in a different world-line where Kurisu did not travel back in time. The reason why I think about this is because why would they include this detail in the movie if it had no meaning behind it? Also a kind of similar thing. When Okabe tried to find out about the song Mayuri always sang to Kagari they found out that Mayuri heard it from Yuki and that Yuki heard it from Okabe's mother while Okabe's mother said that she heard if from Okabe. Okabe doesn't really remember anything of that and considering Reading Steiner there is no way it has been another Okabe aswell. Now if we say that is was indeed another Okabe then according to Okabe's mother that other Okabe somehow met himself or conveyed the lyrics and melody of the song to himself when he was still young. That is because Okabe's mother told him that he sang the song when he indeed was young and his mother just picked it up over time. Even if it wasn't Okabe but another individual there would be no reason to teach him that song in the first place. There is also no reason for Mayuri to sing that song to Suzuha in the alpha attractor field because Mayuri wouldn't exist in the future therefore no Kagari she would sing the song to so Suzuha from the future could not know about the song. There is still a chance that Okabe indeed sang the song to his mother even in the alpha attractor field although it is not relevant for the show. So at first glance there is no specific attractor field or world-line where Okabe has to know the song for the plot to actually make sense. Who taught Okabe that song and why did they do it or was it just a song he sang and forgot over time while his mother cherished it so much that it somehow ended up being an essential part of the plot many years later and across different attractor fields? Those things might have been answered in the show but I'm too dumb to make sense of it atm. It's been a while since I've watched the show but it's still my favorite anime so I had to ask those questions somehow.

Bro, I don't know. Maybe if you watched SG this way, you won't stuck. Because, I'm 100% sure that Steins Gate: Deja Vu - is the film that ends the whole story. The author of the anime just made the episodes mixed up. Many people watched this anime this way, that's why almost everything was understood and explained: 1) Steins Gate (2011. Episodes 1-22; then miss episodes 23-25 and watch episode 26) 2) Then Steins Gate: 0 (2018. Episodes 1-24 - full) 3) Then you need to come back to Season 1 and watch episodes 23-25 4) And after all that you will finish the story with film Steins Gate: "Deja Vu" That's it. Try rewatch this way. Maybe the puzzle of the story in your mind will be fixed.

I don't think this is correct. Let me explain: The "Observer Okabe" that sees Kurisu in a blood pool is the one that triggers the D-mails. The "Slaped Okabe" that stabs himself is the one that goes to the Steins;Gate timeline. ---------- In the machine going back to the future, "3rd War Suzuha" disappears coz she doesn't exist in the Steins;Gate timeline, but "Slapped Okabe" does. That time machine is not only moving back to the future, but also moving from the "Beta" timeline to the "Steins;Gate" timeline. ---------- The "Observer Okabe" that saw Kurisu in a blood pool can't be the one that reaches Steins;Gate because he has to start the D-Mailing and to be the one that triggers the Alpha line. Making "Observer Okabe" enter Steins Gate would un-do the past, and that is what "Okabe from S;G Zero" told "Slapped Okabe" to NOT do. Hence, the "Slapped Okabe" is the one that reaches the Steins Gate Timeline.

the fact that you made kind of a mini ARG to accompany this is so in-spirit with the whole situation. although, i'm not sure if the URL in the "no" video at the timestamp is working, putting it in just leads nowhere. ua-cam.com/video/nS0ibxMfLmE/v-deo.html right?

Well, great video. You made me rewatch it again. So after rewatching the entire anime, I came to point out something. Watch the first episode. He is already in the Steins;Gate timeline. Entire 2 seasom anime is just clearing the mess he had made. On the first episode, you might notice his phone malfunctioning. It's because of the dmail from beta worldline but Okabe who read it is in Steins;Gate timeline thus dmail was glitching. And you will also hear the scream. I wonder who's scream it is hmmm? Of course, it's Okabe. But he deadass misunderstood it and thought Kirisu died who clearly didn't. So he sent the message of Kirisu's death to Daru who is experimenting with microwave and BOOM, worldline fricking shift to Alpha worldline where Mayuri will die like Tom Cruise from edge of tomorrow. And then, he tried to undo all dmail which will lead to beta worldline where Kurisu is dead. Bigger bad happened when the military girl approach Okabe and told that beta worldline suck and let's change things. But he is the one who killed Kirisu and become pusi. Okabe become Shinjii. And he found that alpha worldline things are still happening and he can't escape from PTSD. And he got the PTSD again after accident that sent him into alpha worldline where Mayuri is still fjking dead. And then, the best girl Kirisu saved the day with sending him back to Shinji timeline where he became motivated again to save the worldline and sent the dmail accurately to Okabe who hasn't a pusi yet. Okabe went back to episode one. And Okabe stabbed himself making a fool of himeself to think Kirisu is dead. And he came back with 28 stab wounds waiting to see Kirisu he saved. But... but he fooled himself. He saw Kirisu lying in his pool of blood and sent that fricking dmail.

Your video is interesting. But I also would like to add something. What you explained is a case of Grandfather Paradox. If we don't consider the theories like diffeomorphism invariance of quantum entropy in a timeline that is indeed be the case. But if we consider those theories it can be possible for different okabe s to not stop existing. But all if those can only be explained by extremely complex mathematical equations and I have no idea about those things. And it is still science fiction so it's no use thinking about those. But we can look at the philosophical perspective of this as that story is really philosophically and emotionally deep. So what is death in that story? Many characters died or simply stop existing with the changes of worldlines. But in some way their memories are remain entangled with the memories of their versions who has ceased to exist. Like Mayuri(by the way is one of the very best female character I have ever seen in a story), kurisu. Even though the version of them which exists in stiens gate timeline never suffered like their previous versions they still remember those emotions, feelings and memories of that time (That was shown in the 1st season). Even okabe 2 who hadn't experienced the sufferings of okabe 0 and 1 he still remembers their sufferings. And it has got nothing to do with reading Steiner. It just all of the different versions of okabe are entangled both in a scientific sense ( There are some theories regarding this like Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and Theories of Quantum Entanglement) and in a philosophical sense. So none of them are actually destroyed even though that version ceased to exist with the world line change. Even though its fiction, if someone decided to be God and change the world as they wish some price had to be paid. But I don't really think that in the end okabe 0 and 1 got erased. If they are erased as you said they still exist in a different world line and remain entangled with the other versions of himself. Also if we look beyond grandfather paradoxes and other theories which are just mathematical equations currently with no way to verify them practically, we can also say that all okabe are living in the same worldline the stiens gate , just in different time periods. PS:- If you want you can think it like this. You perspective is also interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Well if you take the timeline in the series into account Everything is clear *2010/08/21 -Okabe 1 Meet Suzuha and time travel back to save Kurisu - 2010/07/28 - Okabe 1 killed Kurisu and comeback before Okabe 2 sent D mail - 2010/07/28 (around 12:56 after he went outside of the building ) - Okabe found Kurisu dead and sent the first D-mail and was stuck in the loop for 3 week - 2010/08/17 -Okabe 2 Return from alpha worldline he is now Okabe1 (4 day before Operation) **2010/08/21 -Okabe 1 Meet Suzuha and time travel back to save Kurisu this is a closed-loop but here is the change *** 2010/08/21 -Okabe 1 Meet Suzuha and time travel back to after fail once - 2010/07/28 - Okabe 1 saved Kurisu and came back before Okabe 2 sent D mail - in time Machine - in time machine Suzuha and time machine Disappear end credit starts and at the end reading Steiner active to 1.048596 (Yes In VN Reading Steiner active ) **** 2010/08/21 From what I understand Okabe 1 appears out of thin air full of blood Mayuri and Daru send him to the hospital There is a nitpick that Okabe 1 Shouldn't know that he got a metal UPA but in Alpha Worldline he can't even remember Kurisu's death ....so maybe he just forgot about UPA until Mayuri Remind him

after seeing the true ending first time i thought Okabe 1s consciousness was transferred in Okabe 2 but after rewatching it with playing visual novel i realized Okabe 1s consciousness didn't technically reached Okabe 2

Ну сдох и сдох, чё ныть-то

What I don’t understand is why isn’t Kurisu isn’t alive in the future of Steins;Gate. Instead she’s an IA program of herself.

Uhhhhhhhhh

I love this series and I love this video for showing me loads of theories/thoughts in the comments.

Name of the background music at the start

My interpretation is that Okabe 1 IS the Okabe 2 of the future, so Okabe 2 when Okabe 1 goes back to the future is Okabe 1 since they are the same person

I think the reason it wasn't done this way is because of Mayuri's philosophy. During Okabe's prehistory dream, she says that even though she and the Okabe she's speaking with are probably just one of infinite, since they're who they are, they must be the originals ("I think therefore I am" kinda thing). I think this "comprised self" thing is supposed to be one of the core ideals of the story, because Kurisu says something similar near the end of the show.

Great video 👍 Steins;Gate is my favourite anime too!

I literally have screenshot from VN where suzuha says parallel world or multiple world interpretation is wrong. So there’s only 1 okabe, pay more attention next time.

Another issue is that if the okabe in the steins gate timeline were to see kurisu pretend dead, then the cycle would repeat itself. Okabe would send the d mail, and it would lead back to the sern dystopia

Thx
