I feel like I should have seen it coming that Mr Braun was FB but wow....he was a SERN rat all along? makes sense it would be someone that close that they wouldn't suspect.

oh man seeing Moeka die now and not being able to do anything, Kyouma has seen so much and he's the only one that remembers it, that has to be hard on him.

and now what people expected, to fix the timeline and save Mayuri he has to. ... let Makise die. somehow I don't think he'll be okay with this. Ferris and her father, Rukako's feelings, and Moeka being used won't effect him like this...

No, that can't be! There has to be a world where both Kurisu and Mayushii survive, and where SERN doesn't create a dystopia. There has to. ;_;

Anyway, another great suspenseful episode. Mr. Braun being FB was quite the surprise for me, and my mouth was open all the fucking time when he shot Moeka and himself.
I'm glad that they retrieved the IBN 5100, but Kurisu. ;_____;

And the twists keep coming...

He finally realizes Kurisu's death will have to be dealt with aswell...

After watching this episode, I'm doubting every character besides Mayuri, Rumiho & Ruka... Yes even Okabe - He's probably my favorite character for this entire year so far. But - I went back to re-watch the first episode to get any clues & during Kurisu getting stabbed scene, the yell is extremely similar to Okabe's voice...

It was obvious that yell was his. There's no way they'll use the same voice actor to voice another person. No way. I was thinking this since the first time the anime aired. I am absolutely certain. But we can always doubt...

But after the first d-mail the divergence changes from 0.6 to 0.57(on episode 1), not over 1 where the dystopia doesn't happen so there should be more to it (hopefully) :3

Yes I think it's his too. Plus he yelled at pain, so he either tried to protect Kurisu or... he tried to kill her -for whatever reason- and she fought back? But the latter doesn't make much sense to me.

We continue the twists of fate and the mindf**k of all plots.

Okabe FINALLY realized that in order to save Mayuri, he has to reverse the world back to where Kurisu gets stabbed.

What will Okabe choose? Paradox, Mayuri, or Kurisu?

It seems this anime brings most of us to doubt a lot of things..But of course, there's reason to believe the option of Okabe being there, but not doing the "work" unless if Suzuha was correct on her betraying Okabe and the others.

I watched first episode again a month ago. It IS Okabe's voice.

Amazing episode once again, and once again I'll suffer a whole week. And finally he realized that in order to get to Beta world line he has to kill Kurisu.

It will be tough situation for Okabe since Makise have help him a lot of all those world lines.
But there sure is other way to save both of them, if he return beta world he could do everything, saved the world .

Makise have always been his alliance

Don't make Makise died, please don't do that.


Moeka begin to remember that she killed Mayuri, and she sorry.

A Large chunk of the story got omitted, but honestly the part that was cut just complicated the whole situtation and it will need more episodes which we can't have.

so if anyone's wondering

Isn't Ferdinand Braun dead for over 90 years? And he had beard+moustache and wasn't bold. Or maybe HorribleSubs misspelled something?

I have solution! If I remember he's a Genius. He can wait few years, then build working time satellite(?) and Nuclear Bomb, send it back to past and nuke SERN!!!

He's not Ferdinand Braun, he just likes Braun Tubes and all. So he nicknamed himself FB with the initials of Ferninand Braun.

I pretty much knew Mr. Braun was FB ever since someone pointed out the Ferdinand Braun thing after the episode where Moeka first mentioned FB. The execution (no pun intended) was something I definitely never saw coming.

Moeka is completely absolved of all her sins as far as I'm concerned. But I wonder, won't Mr. Braun get suspicious now that Moeka never recovered the IBN 5100?

5 star episode right here, though. Even better than episode 19, and the best episode in a while.

I don't care much for Mayuri, but she is adorable and Okabe obviously treasures her, so I want her to live. Either Kurisu dies or no one dies. That's how I see it. Either way, though, Kurisu can't be trusted. She's way too smart to stay blindly loyal to Okabe. I'm telling you, there is a VERY good reason that Suzuha didn't trust her.

And 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. ;__:

They won't, trying to forcefully insert that in the next chapter is just "pushing it".
and if you think bit, the "omitted scenes" doesn't really affect the main story at all. It just complicated things and just trivial knowledge since they never made any kind of closure with that "sub-plot" in the VN.

Basically it's a sub-plot, and the anime didn't need it. Another reason to play the VN

No, that can't be! There has to be a world where both Kurisu and Mayushii survive, and where SERN doesn't create a dystopia. There has to. ;_;


There likely is one, but it's in the other direction below 0.000001.

Anyway, FB wasn't a real shock to me as I suspected him at one point. I assumed it would be more elaborate however.
As everyone is now fully aware, yes pretty much what we thought was going to happen will likely happen.
Unless some major shit goes down in the next four episodes to change the course of events, Kurisu is iced.

As for the discussion of the side-story, mayhaps we just found out what our mystery special will be?
I'm still hedging most of my bets on beach or spa episode, but ya never know.

God damn you Moeka you deserved more than a punch!I also realized that they sent first a D-mail to win the lottery, will they try to undo this even if it didnt work?


It turns out the answer to this question is no. Undoing Moeka's D-Mail actually pushed the divergence even higher (though only slightly higher) than it was right after Okabe sent the first D-Mail. They don't have to bother with the lottery ticket D-Mail. Although, being such a slight change in divergence, it's still to be determined if Mayuri's death has been pushed back another day.

Considering the depth and amount of content of the VN, another season of Steins;Gate seems very possible to me. The likelihood is another story. There's just so much of this story that can't be covered in 24 episodes.

One thing I didn't like about this episode is the casualness of Okabe's use of the time leap, making it somewhat reminiscent of the slightly-painful-to-watch episode 13. It's not that I disagree with Okabe using it so casually, it's just that I don't think it makes for very good television. It makes it more like that episode of Family Guy where Peter goes back to 1984 (it was funny in that context, but doesn't work in this one) and less like Madoka.
