Yup, now we have Takuya and Kaori continously working together on their case. The amount of teasing this episode though..

Trying to infiltrate GeoTechnics isn't that simple but they're taking the risk to do it anyway. The strange discoveries they made inside there too....yikes. Quite frankly, Kaori is starting to become one of my favorite character in this show. Too bad she had ulterior motives Lol, the boner joke

Wow good episode but I was sort of expecting Toyotomi and Kaori to work together form the events of last episode.


Also she is a journalist and we know in anime they are the shadiest types of characters lol


Sidenote: when it showed the "boner" I laughed so hard XD

Actually...I retract what I said about Kaori helping Toyotomi.

How did she have those pictures of Toyotomi meeting with the mafia?

She still ended up getting what she wanted, and it was because of those pictures she just so conveniently seemed to have.

Sure she hit Toyotomi on the head with the flower pot, but she convinced Takuya not to hand him over to the police, and she said she would deal with him. So it's still possible that she was conspiring with Toyotomi

How was it that she knew where to be with that flower pot to hit Toyotomi too? She was staying in a hotel, so why was she in that house?


HOOfan_1 said:
If Ayumi was really suspected by Geotech of corporate espionage and was going to be fired, the first thing the company would have done is deactivate her access card.

I am thinking Kaori is tricking Takuya into getting her Ayumi's access card. It's possibly she is working with Toyotomi who doesn't have the necessary clearance to get her what she wants, but he was able to steal something to blackmail Ayumi and keep her away from Geotech so that Kaori could trick Takuya into getting her access to the company.

With the reveal that Kaori is paying people to protest Geotech, and the fact that it looks like she is working with Ryuzoji, I wonder if she is more interested in stealing information from Geotech than exposing them, or the people she claims are setting up Ayumi.



Well, I called it. Takuya probably should have been suspicious of this too. he seemed smart enough to suspect Toyotomi all along, and after he saw Kaori bullying Ayumi, he shouldn't have trusted her.

As I said above though, why wasn't Ayumi's badge deactivated if she was suspected of selling confidential information?

Even if Kaori and Toyotomi were not just standing there for the guards to catch them, even if Takuya didn't have a radio to broadcast their ill advised "villain explains the whole plot" trope. Takuya could easily have pointed a finger at Kaori. There was a record of her presence there, she was caught walking around the facility with Takuya on the cameras. How did the guards just let her in the facility on her word alone, instead of calling someone to confirm that she was expected there? Why wouldn't the guards have escorted her to the place of her supposed interview?

I imagine if Takuya told the police that Kaori let him in, then they would have enough evidence to go investigate her and find out she was dirty.

It sure was nice of GeoTech to have a 3 foot fence break in their 10 foot high wall, right at the back of the facility too.

I really like the show, but these are some pretty glaring plot holes.


I also mentioned before that Takuya was not really changing events, but jumping to alternate realities where the events had not occurred yet. So, in the reality he jumped from, those events still occurred. When he started blurring out of reality, and Ayumi told him he was going back to his reality, I figured the show was going to send him back to his world at the same time, and Ayumi would be dead. Instead his dad told him he was being sent back to the beginning by causality. If causality is at play, it makes it seem more like time travel than traveling to alternate realities. The entire point made by his father in the show using the cake as an example pointed to the fact that causality prevented time travel.

The low-key comedy is genuinely amusing xD

Also surprised that the plot is still holding my attention, similar series failed with that already after 3-5 episodes.

Ok, so if Kaori is a journalist, so why kind of Journalist that blackmalils people and manipulate other to do her bidding????

also, why would a journalist go to a company in the evenings and how did she got access from the schools speaker room to call out Takuya????

And now we have what looks like an isekai moment where Takuya isn't from Ayumi's world, so wtf, is with this anime's story plot???/

She isn't really a journalist. She just uses that as a cover to gain access to more places. The job that really pays her money is corporate spy. She was working for some other company to steal GeoTech's research.

It was shown in another episode that she was working with Ryuzoji (old man with the beard who held a gun on Takuya in the first episode) he apparently works at the school and possibly gave her access to the PA system. Then again, it seems anyone can come and go at that school, because Ayumi walks around the school as if she is a teacher too....or possibly because she worked with Ryuzoji as well.

The fact that Takuya was in another world is not some big reveal. As soon as he got that device from his father, and his father's notes it was made clear that the device transports him to alternate realities. The big reveal here, was that he can't stay in the alternate realities, because causality for some reason takes him back to his original reality.

YES, Takuya is acting with a brain now, i was like AWW YE when he pushed the button before they used the blue card.

And he managed to catch those two immediately in his second try. Good stuff, Takuya!

And then...AND THEN, WHAT IS THIS ENDING? Correction of chaos.

So what will happen next? He has to keep his memories, that would make things super interesting.

Even the adaptation improves things, the hentai scenes at the end of the routes is the most unessential thing in the whole game.

The hell, completely anime-original episode? Do the think they can top the original writing with their ideas? I'm not really sure.

a) they completely changed Kaori character
b) they also kinda changed the way how formula from those documents works and how hypersense stone/psychite is preserved (now I'm actually bit worried about certain girl and certain route)
c) Ayumi never knew about parallel universes because his father never told her (intentionally and he even told Takuya not to tell her), it was actually Takuya who first showed her his letter before disappearing

Apart from no romance in the beginning (which is why her holding his nose felt so weird) I really have to wonder is this was the best way to retell the events to the viewers as they are basically writing their own story based on the events of the game right now. Well, it's possible something like this theoretically could happen in one of the universes but I would still be much happier if they didn't changed the dynamic of the original story.

At least the chaos corrected itself in the end. Well, if this actually works for other viewers (and they can make sense of it) then I guess my complains are not so important afterall.

Wasn't this basically the Kaori route? In the Kanna/Kaori route in the VN, this actually does happen with Kaori. I think they thought it made the most sense to combine Kaori's route with Ayumi's. I agree because they can focus solely on Kanna when they get to her.

Aaaaah, if I had been Takuya, I would have slapped the manipulative bitch once or twice, then time rewind for fun lmao

I did not trust her from the start, her acts proved me right. But the ending was a bit disturbing or at least surprising... 'cause it somehow looked like Takuya was sent in this world to accomplish one task = protecting the Pshychite. According to his father's words, he will be sent in another world, where the same events will happen but differently. Well that caught my interest, it reminds me the game Life is Strange.

Very loosely, yes. But there were many details that were retold differently. I'm actually replaying the game again to refesh the story as the tv series goes but I haven't got to Kaori's part so I can't confirm what exactly was changed compared to the original but I remember it very differently (although there were also some key parts they didn't changed). Well, in the end of the day Kaori's route was not so important in the game so I guess this merging can be a good thing if we can get more episodes for other characters. But he still needed Hypersense Stone in the other route, right? By not having it... I dunno?

I'm glad we got chaos correction, that's very important element. He's still missing three gems though. With one location being set in stone my bet is in Mio and Kanna's route but I may be wrong. As I said, if they make it work somehow in the end, I'm not against changing some things but I just hope they won't create any plotholes in doing it.

Good episode, and I'm glad we can now move onto the other arcs, as the Ayumi route was actually my least favorite from the original game (still great, just the others were more great, imo.)

Ayumi's route is indeed considered to be the least good route in the game. This episode wasn't even part of it originally but cut-and-pasted from another route.

I'm one of those who didn't like the characters and dialogue in Steins;Gate that much. I guess I read much more literary fiction and am not much of an anime watcher, so my criteria for good characterisation tend to be more about "complex psychology and motivations" and "realism" than "entertaining/funny" or "likable". I have to note that many YU-NO's characters have been watered down from the game though - Takuya's pervy behaviour was originally better handled, for instance.

Takuya is a damn genius, he could not think of a bigger idea than to put on the communicator in the crotch. LOL.
He suspected that bitch journalist was bringing something into his hands, but working with the imbecile Toyotomi if it was falling low. I hope they are imprisoned.

Regarding the end ... WTF ?! Tree of Brinda? Back to top? Live everything again? Causality?. THIS IS CRAZY! I can not wait for the next episode.

Little confused as to what has happened so far or if i am understanding it all properly.

So far it was revealed Kaori and Toytomi were secretly working together to acquire the psychite. To do so they were planning on having Takuya break into Geotech with Kaori and frame him for stealing the psychite by having him break the glass chamber protecting it and knocking him out afterwards. Once he caught on he made his own plan to thwart them by having the security guard Walkie Talkie in his pants so he can transmit toyotomi's and kaori's confession to the other guards.

Once it was all resolved Ayumi told Takuya that she can know continue the research his father entrusted to her and afterwards he is sent back to the beginning. So by him preventing Ayumi's death so she could continue the research and catching those who were planning on stealing Geotech's psychite (Kaori and Toyotomi) Takuya completed the mission entrusted to him(Ayumi route)? He now has to go back to his own reality or possibly another one and redo everything again but this time with a different Girl? Never played the visual novel so im flying in the dark here.

Also it seems that his dad is still alive.

What the heck Kaori?! Not you too! o_o; The Walkie Talkie was a smart move and with that, Toyotomi won't get away this time, no, he have no way to talk his way out of this mess! It's jail time for sure.

The ending scene was weird, but its side effects would show sooner or later... Let's see what will happen :)

So they want to steal the "psychite" but when it touched the "air", the light disappear. Doesn't it mean it's useless ? Or at least not as great as before ?

If that's the case, breaking the glass was not the best idea.

Anyway, I'm surprised that Toyotomi and Kaori could think that, even if there was not this walkie Talkie (which was not part of their plan), that they would not have any problem when there is a camera just in front of the entrance... Their plan was not smart, it was dommed to fail since the beginning.
