| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh my Okabe you got guts doing that to Ruka:  how dare you! Like Makise says here “How can you call a girl a guy?” Moreover you made Ruka cry and feel embarrassed in the spoiler Well at least he finds out she is a girl and amen to that not being changed other than that, charged up shit. Finally Okabe realizes the shit I realized concerning DNA, at this rate I might surpass Okabe but of course VN players and Fai already > me so yeah. Well we know that Okabe is shocked and very much surprised at all this sudden change in Akihabara but it was really sad for me to see that the cafe was gone in the spoiler About flags, those are usually what makes the relationship go further with characters now I have easily further below in response to some people pointed out the one of Makise and one of Mayuri but there is one of Suzuha that I did like because simply of her happiness in the following,  now that was most excellent and the best development yet with the Okabe x Suzuha. What I found most nice is Suzuha being concerned with Makise's torture of Okabe but mostly the bike ride in the spoiler In regards to comedic gags
About miscellaneous stuff, for some reason I find Mayuri dangerous with knives in the spoiler |

| My jaw seriously fell to the floor when he did that! As if the boob grabbing wasn't enough! XD Love Kurisu. Making Okarin sit on his knees for an hour  And then Suzuha tricking him into going bicycling with her while he peddled and she just enjoyed the view behind him XD |

| The scene where he got the "I'm watching you"-message.. perfect. |
| Damn lucky Ruka!! Now that was a sweet moment between Kurisu and Okarin and the little heart to heart between Mayushii and him wasn't bad either <3 Why call Hashida? Daru is so much better. And Okarin rocks at naming way more than Crow XD The butterfly at the end, yup, suspicious. Edit: herox3 said: *jaw drops*kaminakun said: NikuiKira12 said: Hmm it's possible that Daru is her father O_o" |
 |
| Serious lack of tuturu last couple of episodes... T_T So this episode basically explains a bit on why he gets uneasy when he uses the D-Mail everytime & how he got the "Reading Steiner".. Mayushii continues to worry about Okarin from the looks of it.. She knows him too well, lol. I guess this episode also explains why Mayushii is always looking at the sky..wishing for Okarin..?idk.. I like how Ruka just let him grab her without reacting in an aggressive attitude. Okarin continuing to search for male parts even after feeling nothing there, also made me "lmfao". NikuiKira12 said: Hmm it's possible that Daru is her father O_o" Highly possible IMO - I thought it was weird how they both were waiting in the time machine forum... |
 |
| How old is Okabe anyway? Suzuha complained that he is underage iirc. |
| The way things are going now, I'm expecting the big stuff to happen in the next episode or two. Everyone, prepare your bodies...you may or may not be ready for whats to come. |
| I knew she was a girl. They never actually told her if she was a guy or a girl. I'm kinda going towards the fact that Daru could maybe be her father. The way she was saying everything. It seems like it could be possible. |
 |
| And I still find it just as funny that Okarin is only now starting to realize that "Hey, these D-mails actually have a huge impact on like, everything : O" Also, it's funny how people are more intent on going "HE TOUCHED RUKA" than "Woah, that mail's creepy" or something like that. And the world line fluctuation percentage is getting pretty low by now. Just sayin'. Oh and, win-sound of the episode: Okarin's short laugh at ~14:17-14:18. On another note, I so want to buy the blurays. But I'm already using up all my money on manga and LOLHeroes. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| OMG, I read somwhere recently that the show will get serious around episode 10-12. OMG I don't want any of the girls to get hurt. Well the dudes can all die, but the girls oh man... |
Riga92 said: The way things are going for what we are left in the spoilerEveryone, prepare your bodies...you may or may not be ready for whats to come. In fact I already know based on the segment in the spoiler Based on that while he was thinking of how he felt while being sick, I can assume at the very least that he may have been alternated in that theoretically he got this Reading Steiner power and its side effects may just have been similar to a cold. Just assuming but certainly if he feels the same way during his time warps then it must mean something. kaminakun said: You are fucking shitting me in the spoiler. How the heck is that possible. PM me the info please.NikuiKira12 said: Hmm it's possible that Daru is her father O_o" BTW who ROFL at name of gadget #5 in the spoiler it really can be used as a dryer and blew out the breaker. My reason for ROFL apart from the name is that even my 12 000 BTU does not do that. |

| That light out scene almost gave us a kiss. So now Ruka is officially confirmed as a girl. We pretty much knew it but it had to be cleared. Okabe made an ass of himself trying to confirm it but at least he got some groping points. I was wondering if there is a way for him to do something to stop a change. I first thought sending a message to himself stopping the message sending from occurring but that wouldn't fix anything since he already is in a different reality. Or will it really fix something? Is there no way to make things go back? NikuiKira12 said: Hmm it's possible that Daru is her father O_o" Well Daru didn't go to the meeting so there is a possibility. But am confused about the Titor but not John Titor thing. Okabe got his wish of having mysterious people watching him. It doesn't feel that great when it's real though. |

Loved the moment between Mayushii and Okarin in the alley. And when I say that I mean they're cute in the close-friendship sort of way. If I have to chose romance, then I'll go with Okarin and Kurisu-tina. Afterall, their cliched classic moment in the dark was great. Oh, and only Okabe Hououin can say, "All the moe is gone from Akiba," in such a serious tone voice. |
    |
| This show continues to deliver greatness. Okarin sexually assaults Ruka, gets a creepy message to fulfill his paranoia and almost kisses with Kurisu by accident. Hints are dropped that Daru may be Suzuha's father and we see more future gadgets. What is there not to like? |
| Ara ara. |

| Hah, knew Ruka was a girl. And If Suzuha was Okabe's kid then who was the parent?! Just some speculation. |
| Huge episode once again. The damage to the original timeline seems to be totally out of reach now. taro_sado said: OMG, I read somwhere recently that the show will get serious around episode 10-12.

But hey, that's what the time machine is for, isn't it ? |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
DenjaX said: Yeah exactly! I was going to point that out and why is that you think? Satellite went missing after Suzuha parted ways :O darkziosj said: No you are right on! It is indeed as you say. The message was not sent therefore Suzuha does see who she is to see therefore not making her leave. Brilliant is it not. so does she gets or not to see her father? on the first time line she obviously doesn't but after okabe sent the d-mail telling himself to follow her if barrel titor is he doesn't send the mensage that makes daru to come back to the lab, so she does see him? maybe im a little confuse there. Another thing that concerns me is WTF is written in German on that book in the spoiler I have found the meaning of the 2 Operation code names of Okabe.

Although going back in time still isn't impossible in the premise of the show considering Suzuha's probably origins. Yumekichi11 said: but I prefer Okabe x Mayuri now since of that moment I specify of Mayuri x Okabe. What are you talking about? She seems to git more in the role of a sister type than a lover. She's like a family member in the little sister type of way. Kurisu is the most perfect for a relationship with him. Haven't you seen them fighting? They are just like a married couple. |
MonadJun 7, 2011 4:53 PM
| Stuffs got serious. Yea, the original timeline where Kurisu would've originally got killed and never appeared has now changed to the point where there's no moe in Akiba. And it looks like Feyris won't appear later. I was hoping that there would be moe back in Akiba eventually. Is SERN actually after Okarin or something? It looks like it is but I'm not sure. Also, I read the spoilers and my jaws immediately dropped. |

Monad said: OK I understand but don't you think that reversing all this would involve going back in time to stop oneself from doing things. Hence why I mention not really possible.Yumekichi11 said: I was not talking about time going back. I was talking about reversing changes not time.

Yumekichi11 said: but I prefer Okabe x Mayuri now since of that moment I specify of Mayuri x Okabe. Monad said: Ah yes well I saw it more as romantic. She may be a sister but feelings can go beyond that and last I checked there is no blood relation between them so I don't see a problem if it develops. I really felt some romance between them in this episode even though it was not much nor too revealing at all. Kind of read in between the lines.What are you talking about? She seems to git more in the role of a sister type than a lover. She's like a family member in the little sister type of way. Kurisu is the most perfect for a relationship with him.

In that when one finds out 2 elements are the same and is happy one goes further into developing the theme they belong to such as perhaps Time/Space being compliment to each other may lead to Okabe discovering that they can changed around and thus he experiments like a Mad Scientist to find out all the possibilities. Well something like that.Yumekichi11 said: Another thing that concerns me is WTF is written in German on that book in the spoiler The happiest thought of my life by Hans Schmidt This related to it ? :O http://www.suite101.com/content/the-equivalence-principle-a43525 |
Yumekichi11Jun 7, 2011 5:03 PM
| so someone (CERN?) is watching him? oh man when he was feeling up the former trap to check for his/her junk in front of all those guys that had to be awkward. the ex-trap is now hot, but in a creepy way. I had expected Okarin to be the father but doesn't look that way. so Daru actually gets his fat ass with a woman in the future? cool.... more future gadgets! I would be worried about the d-mail now though.... it's changing so much but apparently something happened to Okarin as a kid to make him aware. |
 |
| I peeked at the spoilers for Suzuha's dad, and while it kinda blows my mind it does make sense. And yeah, what's with Hokarin being underage to drink? I thought he was at least in his late 20s or early 30s. Is he just a kid after all? LOLed at the confirmation that Ruka is a girl now, even though that trick working makes little to no sense. Poor Hokarin getting bossed around by his assistant. Good thing he changed the timeline to ignore her threats or Suzuha would be gone. This might not be a good change tho. I wonder why the numbers are going down, instead of up? I figured it was showing how much the timeline has deviated from the original. |
Game_Master said: No moe in Akiba ?! NOOOOO!!!! How does the world keep spinning in that reality??? Yumekichi11 said: Oh my Okabe you got guts doing that to Ruka: LOL...one of the greatest moments in this anime. I love this series, every episode it gets more interesting and the mystery just gets deeper. Probably my favorite anime of the season! |

Matheine said: kaminakun said: NikuiKira12 said: Hmm it's possible that Daru is her father O_o" OMG! O_O Who's the mother? kaminakun, you shouldn't have shown that spoiler lol. You know that 90% of them are gonna click it. It's more entertaining to hear their explanations and reasoning when they don't know yet. But thm again that's their own choice...not to mention I'm sort of contradicting myself by using spoiler tags...lol. So yeah, divergence fluctuation pecentage going down. To whoever asked: No, Suzu did not find her father. She ended up coming to the party anyways due to Okarin's suggestion and the fact Okarin sent a d-mail to himself telling him to basically follow and prevent her from leaving. The red jello is an attempt to warn Okarin. The jello was to remind him of what happens to the people who are experimented on (jellified) and the red just typically conveys the sense of "blood". So in short, it's like a death threat. Questions to ask: Why? Warn him about what? What is it regarding? Is it good intent or bad intent? |
  |
| Okabe, you have serious balls in doing that to Ruka. LMAO Red jelly could mean a death threat. I wonder who's behind that. Liked the KurisuXOkabe scene. :D And ugh, so many spoilers. =,= |
Yumekichi11 said: Yea, I know and were in the same boat actually. I thought she has a goal to achieve.DenjaX said: Yeah exactly! I was going to point that out and why is that you think?

| Yeah, there are a permissible spoiler and real spoiler. the thing about Suzuha's dad is terrible spoiler, definitely. This is not even spoiler of nearby episode. Well, I think if you really don't want spoiler, you shouldn't access to S;G thread, though... |
revive4563Jun 7, 2011 8:03 PM
| I'm confused. You said the same thing twice in different ways. darkziosj said: 1 timeline he sent the mail The timeline in which he sent the mail was after he found out that Suzuha was leaving since she did not find her father. darkziosj said: 2 timeline he doesn't send the mail because he follows suzuha and why send the mail anyway if he's going directly were daru is He did send the mail in the other timeline, thus created this timeline. In this, he receives the message and then follows what it told him: don't let Suzuha leave. Bring her back to the party. That's the only reason why he followed her, otherwise it would have been just like the first time in which Suzuha leaves. |
|
| Agh so many spoilers. It's hard to know when they're just a huge picture and when... oh. I see. :< Anyway, the ep was rad. Very enjoyable. Lacking in tuturu sadly. Luckily it's my message tone atm so I'm not gonig into withdrawal yet :P Mayuri is so wonderful. Aaaah~ |
 |
| IT WAS DETERMINED BY STEINS;GATE. |
 |
| oh my god okabexchristina please and with lab member 8 the crew is finally complete..... i think |
 |
| I agree that you shouldn't look in an episode discussion thread if you don't want to come across spoilers, but I don't see the point of spoiling huge things in this thread. The spoilers I expect if I come on here are ones that pertain to this episode or past ones, or future speculation. It is kind of annoying to read something massive that won't even appear for several episodes. Why even post it? I did open the spoiler tab though, but it is still annoying ahah. |
| This episode is the best one all season. Okabe fingering Rukako made me choke on my drink. And some great plot developments, too. The changes with each d-mail are interesting, and surprising how far they can go. |

DesolateOne said: Thank you so much for that. It now makes sense. I know who sent it BTW and it makes as to why. Can't wait when all that will reveal itself in a rather gruesome way. Warning to all we will either need Kleenex or get ready. This is not a joke. The warning is real. Other than that, this shows does tend to mix a nice gag section with serious stuff but why do I have the gut feelings that soon it's all going to be shit hit the fans and only serious stuff.The red jello is an attempt to warn Okarin.

kaminakun said: NikuiKira12 said: Hmm it's possible that Daru is her father O_o" Oh my gawd, fucking hate spoilers, spoiler tags are like click me tags. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Seriously, please put a big warning to the spoiler if it's a serious spoiler... I'm not gonna say anything because there WAS a spoiler tag (unlike how I got spoiled of Katanagatari's by a private message spoiler by some random) but still, why post spoilers in the episode discussion thread. And I can't believe he altered the past after setting up a (Y) flag with Chrsti(na). |
