the term is flat justice, its meant to convey bigger isnt better, that flat/small chests are just as good and dont deserve to be shamed. flat is justice while sounding similar is something a lot of people have been sayin instead of flat justice as if it meant the same thing but its a very different message. flat is justice says exactly the same toxic crap as bigger is better except for small breasts, it says small breasts are better which is just as false as sayin big breasts are better, all breasts are great and size is nothing more then a preference which is why its 'supposed' to be flat justice and not flat is justice.
Did you notice moments before Okabe knew that Ruka is now a girl that Mayuri said "Flat is justice" but last episode she said "Cute is justice". A hint that Ruka really did became a girl in this timeline.
30:26 I can guarantee that this show is still amazing to me even 12 years after my first watch. I usually don't often rewatch shows, but this one I have rewatched multiple times, and it's always as great each and every time!
@@eenstoelpoot The VN is pretty interesting. I read it once in English and once in Japanese and it really offer a new experience of the story. (And the arts are made by Huke
The interesting thing about how Okabe experiences the world line shifts is how his "Reading Steiner" ability is a double-edged sword. There's no arguing that the ability to maintain his own narrative even as he crosses world line is essential for navigating such shifts, but on the other hand, he has no memory of what he did in response to his own d-mails, and has to ask others to confirm what his actions in the immediate past were. It must be really uncomfortable for him to experience amnesia every time. No wonder he looks so stunned.
Yeah, he have the memories of the previous worldlines but have no recollection of the current worldlines. So the D Mail is a inefficient way of time travel.
"an okabe dating sim" thats one way to describe it yup ahahah its based off of a game which is to some extent you get endings with each of the girls ... all uniquely intriguing too ... i love steins gate so much
My fan theory is that as a child, in one world line Okabe died to the fever and one he survived. And due to death, his mind changed world lines the first time leading to "Reading Steiner".
It's also possible it was triggered by some of SERN's experiments during his childhood - for all we know he might have a piece of time-gel-matter in his brain or something
His fever happened around the year 2000, so I think the most likely explanation is that it was his first Reading Steiner and be caused by the John Titor of that worldline.

One way to view this show is that it’s a puzzle…all will be revealed in time. I’m guessing a large majority (myself included) were confused during the first watch through. I’m glad it seems that both you are digging the character development. It’ll pay off in the end.
I have watched this series numerout times and I always seem to notice something that I had not realized was important or connected to othere story elements. It is my favorite anime.
This show reallly is a masterpiece I knnow how Ben feels, this show has had a profound impact on me its so wonderful. I can't wait to see Anna revisit her last comments of this video after the show. Mind = blown.l
21:30 "Cute is justice" walked so that "Flat is justice" could run. XD 30:45 When it comes to watching and making reaction content, it's very tempting to just pump it all out as fast as you can, or binge through a playlist to see that one specific hype scene, but yeah. You're right. Some of these amazing great shows, with small precious moments should...NEED to be savored. Thank you for doing that here. ^^
Okay, 'bout your note that Gate of Steiner sounds like a Zelda OST. Not only it's an homage to the Majora's Mask menu theme, but also Mayuri is a big Zelda fan and calls Okabe Okarin - Ocarina of Time.
My reaction to that first scene with Ruka and Okabe was the same as you guys, just jaw on the floor... I know he was just shocked and never thinks before acting but holy shit. I was so mad I had to pause the episode for like 10 minutes to calm down lmao. The whole comment regarding her "true" gender was already insensitive as fuck, even if she was still amab there was no need to keep bringing it up, but then he goes and starts groping her... Whew man I really had to take a breather after that scene, I kind of didn't expect Okabe to be that aggressive...
33:00 There *is* a manga of this story, but it is a poor adaptation made after the fact to try to capitalize on the popularity of the show. The original LN, on the other hand…
honestly hate that they said 'flat is justice' instead of 'flat justice' cause 'flat is justice' is just toxicity in the same way as all the 'bigger is better' crap, meanwhile 'flat justice' is a term to mean flat is just as good and deserves more of the appreciation the world rarely gives it

"Flat is justice" is a very old expression in the anime fandom, especially popular at the time Steins;Gate was made.

yeah but doesn't everyone sort of have a RS. I think the Y2k or JT theory makes more sense on why he's been on the b worldline since his childhood.
Let's hope that's what happens to all of us when we in die (in this world line)
it's getting closer AAAAAAAAAAAA

So many threads woven into this story. It just makes it all the more satisfying when things eventually start to become clear.

Its so funny how Ben (for the longest time I thought it was Beth lol) is so distressed by the thought of Daru being Suzuha's father xD
Beth is a strange name for a dude.
Enjoy the ride guys, there'll be more f* up moments ahead
Ufff that's so incredibly, I love this Anime ❤
15:33 Fun fact the original game is basically a galgame(dating sim), a visual novel to be exact
Not really a dating sim, since there's not really any dating or affection mechanics, more like that almost every girl has her own ending.
My Darling’s Embrace is a dating spin-off VN for Stein’s;Gate
@@frankstendal not an LN (light novel), it's a VN (visual novel)

I think that music got some copyright issues with Zelda's Great Fairy Fountain. Idk the details but it is almost the same notes for 2-3 seconds.
That scene with Luka makes me so uncomfortable; it's such a stain on an otherwise amazing story

wait I thought it’s going to be two episodes in one video?
I think they did that with chapters 8/9
That was not the choice of steins gate

@@just-_-wandering you’re right. brain fart.
I HATE that scene with Ruka. Completely inappropriate, even if he was still a guy. I'm still sour about that scene years later.
It's really not that deep imo
2 episode left for something that will happen
