| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, they're getting ready to make use of that time machine. Mayuri is starting to also regain her confidence even though she still feels a bit scared and emotional. Suzuha obviously knows the risk of going back in the past though. I think every character in this series realizes that but it may be their only option to make things right, especially in that Alpha World Line. I have to give praise to Mayuri's VA this episode. She really bought out the emotions in her character. Damn, Okabe looks broken. |

| Oh crap, they are adapting arc-light and V&A. The constant repetition of time and Suzuha actually shot Okabe. Chaotic but amazing. This episode takes the cake for having the most trolling cliffhanger in anime. 6/5 |
 |
| And now we are in the most awesome and epic episodes of the VN. |
| Holy shit, man... |
| Holy shit! That was amazing. Watching Mayuri cry her heart out saying she loved Okarin was so heartbreaking. She's normally the most cheerful one but watching her cry like that just gets me. :( I didn't expect Suzuha to actually fire at Okabe, I know she probably won't kill him but fact that she was willing to incapacitate him if required was pretty scary. When that Dmail from Daru popped up saying there might be a new way to reach Steins;Gate I was super excited and intrigued on how they were gonna do it but the moment those soldiers surrounded Suzuha and took Mayuri hostage I was a little shocked. Just when you think there might be something, they destroy it. Arclight is a really cool name for a mission, leave it to Daru to name them operations right. XD The action sequence at the end was really cool, Suzuha using her hidden knife in the time machine to turn the table was epic. Mayushii!!! Is there really no hope for her survival as long as time machines are involved? T.T Okabe is gonna lose it completely now. Wonder what Kagari plans to do. Can't wait for next week and good to be back on MAL. :) |

| Great Episode! Emotions, feels and action, all in top-notch motion! Finally, just when they were inches away from making use of the time machine and knowing what the future Daru’s message contained. Gah, how infuriating! On another note, though, Okabe’s condition is worsening a lot! Like, he literally looks like a zombie now. Mayuri’s possible death could just wreck him in half. I wonder what Kagari is up to now though. Looks like we’re in for another ripper next week! Can’t wait! |

| It seriously breaks my heart seeing Mayuri cry and how she confessed that she loved Okabe was really heartbreaking! - This was really a great episode and loved it and can't wait for next week! |
 |
| Finally, it looks like this last batch of episodes will really get things going from here on out. The last several episodes (aside from last week's) have felt kind of dull, with a lot of meandering. Some interesting tidbits of info, maybe a dramatic cliffhanger, but then the next episode would be more of the same, with little to no payoff. Well it looks like we're finally in the "payoff" part of the anime. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| This episode was mostly fine, but it is the first time I feel like the anime couldn't match the impact of the VN. The presentation seemed rather weak.. I wish the episode went a bit further but I guess it's not that bad after all. suprimekai said: if i would like to play VN from that episode where i should begin ? Reading the VN while watching the anime isn't a good idea. You will only get more confused, we aren't sure how the anime will continue to be honest. It is combining many scenes from different routes and also adding more material from other sources while also containing original changes, it feels different even though the story is still mostly the same. The cliffhanger in this episode didn't happen the same way in the VN. |

 |
| Sad episode, especially after seeing that drop of blood in the end |
| No, no, no, no! I don't want to see Mayushii dying again! |
 |
| Holy that ending i was not ready for that |
| This episode didn't gave a break after the emotional previous episode. I wonder how they'll get away with this. Damn, Mayuri won't die right? because they're still in the beta worldline and according to this worldline's attractor field, she still alive in the future. |
 |
| Great episode, this anime should just be renamed Feels;Gate 0. That shooting scene at the end was kinda mediocre tho, this isn't supposed to be Star Wars with Stormtroopers. |
|
| I swear this show is like waiting for something to happen but it never happens. This episode was good and all but are we gonna spend the whole anime trying to convince Okabe to get in the time machine? Can't we just throw Okabe in deep shit again and see him struggling again? I am tired of seeing emo and sad Okabe at this point. This episode was good but PLEASE pick up the plot from here on. I am tired of just waiting for shit to hit the fans. |
| Damn, i thought Suzuha would kill them all. |

|
| Please, kill me, I can't stand on a timeline where Mayushi is so heartbroken That cliffhanger tho |

Seems like he is in deep shit after this ending, don't you think? It's the usual "get in the time machine Okabe" thing. I was fan of the whole concept of jumping between timeline and trying to save everyone while going insane. I am not hating on this season but It just feels different. |

| Haven't played VN. So Mayuri dying here is pretty crazy and gets weird with time stuff. Firstly, Daru said the world line changed in that message meaning it's possible for Mayuri to die (otherwise she would have to live to raise Kagari in the future). He said the world line changed due to the actions of Mayuri and Suzuka. I'm thinking this is because of Mayuri choosing to time travel. But how would future Daru know? Reading Steiner could have kicked in as we know it has happened for other characters in the past. I think that's most likely. Was Okabe alive in the original line where Suzuha traveled back in time? I'm pretty sure he wasn't, so he couldn't be there to tell Daru about a line change. Unless the line changing brought Okabe back to life and then he's like "O, wtf bro I'm alive now. Better tell Daru the line changed", but I'm thinking that's pretty nonsense. Finally, If Mayuri does die here then obviously Kagari wasn't raised by her, so if that was her looking over Mayuri's dead body she shouldn't really care. Anyway if she is dead we are clearly gonna finish the phone wave and bring back the time leaps, so I'm excited for that. |
HereticHunter said: Please, kill me, I can't stand on a timeline where Mayushi is so heartbroken That cliffhanger tho Surely she has to be dead after we see the blood dripping down her face. There's going to be some time leaping coming soon I'd say. |
Lelouch0202 said: I didn't expect Suzuha to actually fire at Okabe, I know she probably won't kill him but fact that she was willing to incapacitate him if required was pretty scary. Yeah, I was questioning Suzaha's actions since she seemed so heartless about the whole thing. her reaction was way over the top |
| My poor Mayushii,her emotional outburst was so painful to watch. And after the rather calm episodes of the last weeks, we finally got some action, shit went really down. Just hope Mayuri is daijoubu. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I think I can safely say at this moment that the anime is turning out to be much better than the VN. I love how they turned the VN's dual-route story into a singular one, merging route plot-points or replacing them with their own anime-original ones. The VN was amazing, but it's presentation was messy. The anime seems to be fixing that. Unlike the original Steins;Gate, where it's turning point was in the middle, S;G 0 is more about building up its climax. The only iffy thing was that the soldiers kinda came out of nowhere, and many of them were just standing (or terribly missing their shots) when Suzuha was attacking. Other than that, powerful episode. Mayuri made me cry again during the first half. Jeez, sad Mayuri is too much for me T_T |

| I really didn't expect Mayuri to confess her to love of Okabe like that! I knew that she really did love him but I always felt she knew she wasn't the right person for him, which is sort of sad and somewhat relatable. ...And with that Mayuri is dead again. How many times must we see her die...? |
| 2018's biggest mystery: where the hell did those soldiers pop up from at the end of the episode ? they definitely did not go up the stairs because okabe was there after getting shot, so he would have noticed or he would have been the first being dealt with, did they climb the building ? in the middle of the fucking day ? did they land there with a heli ? if that's the case did they not hear that heli approaching ? the fuck am i watching man |
 |
| I know this episode wanted to be as emotional as the last but if the animation can't keep up with the tone as hype of the moment, some enjoyment will go down hill. Still, I'm gonna rewatch it tomorrow to be surge of that. |
| I’m really hoping for these final eps to be packed with goodness! A lot of eps have been like not much happening and then OMG BOMB DROP IN LAST 2 MINUTES!! which frustrated me. |
| Ahhh we're finally at that part! I liked the episode but the last 3 minutes were awful. The gunmen surrounded Suzuha without her noticing and Mayuri suddenly screaming and baaam they're magically surrounded. Also, they just let Suzuha shot her way through them without shooting back. Sloppy, I´m disappointed White Fox If they can only nail I'll be set for life! |

My stupid useless notes just say "Oh hello, men", with no elaboration on it so maybe it's one of those moments. Did you watch Disney's Mulan? They could've done what the Huns did to climb the Great Wall of China at the beginning. Also, what a perfect day for MAL's forums to return! Thank you, MAL! I'm surprised nobody acknowledged the return of the dreaded timestamp of death. Remember episode twelve of the OG series when they flashed 8/13 up on the screen over and over again? They did that again only for Tanabata in this episode. |
| What the hell just happened. Being Mayuri really is suffering, poor girl. |
  |
| That cliffhanger. It actually annoys me that they left the episode there XD |

| They hurt Kagari's mama! Kagari rampage incoming. |
