Steins; gate 1x23 reaction

Alex: "I think I understand everything though!" 2 Minutes later: "I'm so confused!" THAT'S why I watch your channel XD Also: Think a Makise-Cosplay would be dope, just a thought.

Hey there- new patreon subscriber and loving your Steins;Gate reactions! I know you've had a few people giving their opinions on what you should and shouldn't watch and I thought having watched it all myself I should give my opinions of what I think you'd enjoy. Obviously don't feel obligated to watch anything you don't want to! Firstly- Steins;Gate episode 25 (which is an OVA). I feel like a lot of reactors skip this episode, which is a shame because although it wasn't part of the original 24 episode run, it is a lot of fun and helps to bring some nice closure to the series- I think you'd really enjoy watching it and it's the same length as any other episode. Secondly the movie. There is a movie which I think roughly translates to "Load Region of Deja Vu"- like with all the other Steins;Gate stuff there is a dub of this. This movie is sort of an epilogue for the original series and follows on from that OVA or episode 25, and again it just helps to bring closure to what happens to everyone. Finally there's the so-called season 2 or Steins;Gate 0. This isn't really a sequel- basically it follows that Okabe who sent that video message back to the Okabe in this timeline (as you've just seen in episode 23). You basically follow that version of Okabe and everything that happens to him which eventually results in him sending a video message back to that earlier version of himself. So what's pretty unusual about this series is that you know what the ending is going to be before you even start to watch it. However, I still think it is a great watch and it does take you on another emotional rollercoaster. It is another 23 episodes, so will take more time to react to than the other things I've talked about. I watched the seires in the order Steins;Gate>Episode 25>Movie>Steins;Gate 0 and I think for a first time viewer that's a good way of going, but I'd be interested in what other people think. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Some of the things were explained by other people, I will just say this : Kurisu don't need to sacrifice herself in order to save Mayuri. It is just happened to be, that Kurisu is dead on the Beta world line(original one). All Okabe has to do is to find world line(and criterias to reach that world line), where Kurisu is not dead.

Thank you for explaining! Okay yeah it makes more sense. So steins gate is a single world line not surrounded by a bunch of parallel world lines like in alpha and beta? Ok so now he just has to fake her death. Fake blood maybe?

I thought his scream sounded familiar.

Say, have you watched:Clannad, Death Note or madoka magica? if not, you should give it a try. Especially clannad and death note. They are the start of many things

Events are established as perceived by the observer. Okabe saw Kurisu lying in a pool of blood and is what led to him sending the first d-mail and going to the Alpha worldline with SERN. Even in episode 1 it's confirmed Okabe always was the one who killed her since you hear Okabe's scream.

Awesome I was waiting for this reaction since episode 1 and it was totally worth it nice job :). Also I'm gonna try to explain you how this confussing situation works. So there are two World Wars III in this show, the first one is on the Alpha world line( which is a union of world lines and they go in the same direction same as Beta ) this War happens cuz' the first D mail Okabe sent and then SERN track it and you know what happen, the second one happens because Nakabachi stoles Makise's thesis which contains all the information to build a time machine. As you know in the alpha line Mayuri's death is a no returning point no matter how hard Okabe tried he just cant save her in that world line so he go back to the original one (Beta) and in this world line Makise is dead, in this episode future Okabe explains there is a way to save her by tricking his self and enter the Steins Gate which is a single world line unlike Alpha and Beta. Future Okabe explains that if present Okabe sees a Makise in a pool of blood and thinks she's dead he'll still sends the first D-mail and go through all the crazy situations you saw in the entire show, so without changing that fact he can save Makise and go to this unique world line. I hope make you understan a little more of what happen in the episode and dont worry this show is really confusing and no one understan it at 100%. Again I love your reactions you do a relly good job

That is what happened in the first episode too. Theres a lot of clues they left in the 1st episode that show up in the last one. They outright show you the time machine and Suzuha's hands on the roof; the first dialogue between kurisu and okabe in the whole show is her asking about "what he was trying to tell her earlier"; and the yell Okabe hears is himself yelling after stabbing her. Also, the "Target Worldline" mentioned toward the end of the episode is the Steins Gate worldline. What he's saying is that theres no significance in the term "steins gate" and its just something he made up because he liked how it sounded.

So basically steins gate 0 episode 1-23 basically explains how okabe got to see the video on his phone in this episode. You can watch it later if you want because it’s a great series. Can you please watch the ova and movie? The ova and movie I can gaurantee you’ll love because they both show you the epilogue to this wonderful series!!

:DD I can't believe we're almost at the end already. This has been on helluva ride Also, yeah, whoever is telling you to watch 0 BEFORE the actual finale??? Don't listen to them. They're made the way they are for a reason. The emotional payoff is much, much better when watched in production order. Also! Fun fact! The song that starts playing during the phone video sequence and gets louder at the credits is actually the opening song of the original game. It's called Skyclad Observer and is SUCH a banger song.
