Loved this one, but there was still some confusion…
Happy day to you! =)

Youre reactions to this are so good! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Okabe actually did check Moeka´s mail in the VN right before giving it back to her so that she could send it
I can relate with the unfit saviour trope, as long as it's done correctly, I find a lot of them lead to the character having to compromise for their lack of ability by coming up with their own definition of a victory
Yeah, I still love it, but the whole situation is definitely a product of it's time. Ruka just got done explaining to them that they basically feel uncomfortable with the discrepancy between their sex and how they look…. and the first thing that happens is possibly the worst thing someone could do to confirm that discomfort.
Ruka's gender is a bit of a hot button topic and i don't wish to spoil anything that is coming, but what i will say is that Ruka is naturally feminine and not deliberately trying to appear as a girl. He was pretty clearly not comfortable wearing the cosplay for Mayuri and even in the case of his usual shrine maiden outfit, this is something has father had him start wearing and not his idea (i don't believe the anime properly establishes this, so not a spoiler). The distinction thus here is that he feels like he should have been born as a girl and not necessarily that the male him actively wishes to become one.
I agree that letting Moeka send a message without checking it is crazy. Despite the whole John Titor exchange, I don't think the risks and potential of it all has properly sunk in for Okabe, and the other members haven't gotten to experience the world line shifts themselves so it doesn't feel real to them.
Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium, which is a befitting oxymoron for the current stage of the events.
On the other hand, yuri is a genre which portrays lesbian relationships. Ruka is a boy though.
I've cosplayed multiple times as Okabe, it's so much fun
The limited effects of the D-Mail targeting Ruka's mother align with the show's internal logic: the worldline divergence was minor, and the attractor field ensured broader stability
A person who would go to the past wants to change something about themselves.
My dad did have a beeper when I was a kid, probably around the year 2000, I think it's the same as a pager? but yeah :p I bet they were even more popular in a country like Japan.
My father had a pager, but he mainly used it to contact his work colleagues.
I'm glad you are digging the show, it perhaps has got a bit more hand-waving when it comes to time travel theory than other shows but it has a lot of heart. I think that's what makes me appreciate the story even when I feel like there's something like a plot hole itch to scratch- I want to create a reason to go with it, as you are clearly doing in this episode. No lie, the Ruka becoming a girl stuff was the weakest part of the show for me, and talking about divergence or why they are all in the same room after all the drama of sending back a message to a pager makes me feel less alone in thinking that while it was motivated by character it was a bridge too far for plot. I can understand a fetus being xxy or something like that but not because of the mom eating vegetables.
In something of a defense of the show though don't forget that 90's Japan was the tech envy of the world and they were definitely using pagers quite a bit. I grew up in NYC then and while we had pagers there was still a gap with Japan. In a sad way they have still held on to old tech like fax machines for a long time after.
About "Steiner" and "Steins" et cetera, and what does it means. Apparently, it is very not obvious for someone speaking Deutsch natively, but for those who doesn't it's very obviously that it is just a Maddo Scientisto Okabe chuny allusion to the Maddo Scientisto Albert "my-theory-technichly-does-not-forbid-time-trevel" Ein"Stein", the only meaning of which is to sound cool and maddo-sciensey.
Came for physics, got a cosplay tangent. Wild
i think it would be awesome for you to cosplay okabe after you finish the show!
I would change the past without a second thought. I wouldn't be me, yes. But i would still be. I guess it's a matter of whether or not, you think the new life you would get would be better than your current one and how much you're willing to risk it being worse. In my case, i would risk it without hesitation.
8:56 – "Would you change anything?" – I would. By knowing the outcome, I'd tell myself to stress less – because the outcome will be good, so I would stop losing my mind and procrastinate, or if the outcome is bad, I'd do something to prepare for it. Basically, just a bit of care for myself of the past.
19:46 – (About Yuri) "Yuri" – Yuri is a genre of Japanese media focusing on intimate relationships between female characters. While lesbian relationships are a commonly associated theme, the genre is also inclusive of works depicting emotional and spiritual relationships between women that are not necessarily romantic or sexual in nature.
23:45 – (About cosplay) It usually works like that, yes, but it's also not unusual for people to cosplay characters that are just super popular for the sake of social clout (popularity – more followers, likes and etc.). For example: Rem from Re:Zero, Asuna from Sword Art Online, Zero-Two from Darling in the Franxx – these are one of the most popular characters, and I doubt that everyone who cosplayed them, know / like the character.
25:52 – (About Ruka's gender and subtitles) It's the subs mistake. Japanese language doesn't have He/She (Er / Sie), they simply use names, but English language has. In Japanese, correct me if I'm wrong, people use different endings to portrait they gender and/or social status. For example, in Death Note Ep. 1 or 2, when Light and L says "I'm justice" you can hear, that they say it differently, and while Light's version is "the male version", L's is more "gender neutral" to hide his gender, because he's so secretive, iirc // In AOT, original manga, Hanji Zoe is never confirmed to be male or female – "The manga is careful to never address Hange with a gendered pronoun, as per author request", so in original, it's up to viewers/readers head-cannon to think of Hanji as a male or female // in Overlord, Shaltear ends her sentences with "Arinsu" which was used by high-end prostitutes or geishas (also, can be used in another meaning. It's super archaic word though). So, even if Ruka addresses to himself as masculine / neutral, basing on the endings of the words, subs decided to address him as a girl, because he's feminine and wants to be a girl.
31:00 – (About pagers) My parents had pagers. // As of the end of 1996 some 10 million units were in use in Japan, and if Ruka was born in 1993, it's possible that his mother had a pager at this point.
34:45 – (About how much time-jump changes the world line) Everytime Okabe changes the past, a timer / clock shows up – that's the reality he's in (world's line) or how much is changed, don't really remember that. But as it was stated, it won't have MASSIVE consequences, unless it's bigger than 1.
Dr. Stone reaction when
I always think that some events from my past indeed shaped me, but not all of them, I am who I am despite the fact that some things happen, not because some things happen. But that does not mean I'd actually change anything I guess, it mainly depends how I perceive the final outcome, and final outcome for now is today. And it is good enough to not try to fix it. Especially when I do not know the new outcome.
The reason why ruka wants to change gender is pretty obvious
he is very much into okabe but neither him or okabe are gay, so he feels if he was a girl, he could confess his feelings to okabe.
VN cut content
no spoilers
in VN ruka said his father and older sister forced him to wear girls clothing because "he is too cute to be a boy"
and ruka (jokingly) calls them abusive.
why ruka ia in love with okarin ?
okarin saves ruka when a bunch of cameraman's were harassing him and making fun of him for crossdressing , then he takes ruka to weapon shop and buys a sword for him and keeps coming back to the shrine to spend time with ruka and trains with him.
6:02 it didn't change the worldline because there was no change of outcome. Daru still lost, so nothing needed to be changed. Now, you might ask, why doesn't Daru remember receiving the message. It's because of how the world works. I'm trying to not give spoilers here and use only the info you have right now.
As others said in past comments, it's not that Okabe "remembers" the other worldline. It's that everyone's memories change to fit this new worldline that gets reconstructed as a result of changed actions. Okabe's memory doesn't change when there's a worldline shift (and yes, there's an explanation as to why, but that's in A;C game)
There was no worldline change here because Daru still lost. If there isn't a worldline change, memories don't get rewritten.
Now, if you ask yourself why the hell does it work like this, I got the answers to that too, but it's not part of Steins;Gate, it's Anonymous;Code :))
32:44 well, there's a really good explanation as to why it actually is a thing and their microwave works. It's explained more in the VN and even more in manga and drama CDs side materials.
The anime only drops 1 line on the subject later but it's so general and under the rug, you won't connect the dots.
Chromosomal sex of the baby is determined at fertilisation, are they attempting to have the mother consume more vegetables prior to conception? As altering anything pre-conception would almost certainly change the baby, it would not be the same Ruka, unless time travel wise, Ruka has to exist.
33:25 yes chaos theory does say that but homeostasis tries to balance it out as per the episode name. When the tried the Lotto 6, changes (though very small) were there but homeostasis made it so that they couldn't win the lottery even if it was a human error
next episode gonna have you screaming from various emotions (it had me doing so at least)
I dont remeber the entire story but this might be considered as a spoiler or just a fan theory, proceed with caution!
Now that we now he can send memories to the past maybe everything related to his delusion and stenis gate metaphors are actually something his way way future selv send him back as a message when he still was a kid, to create a paradox of him receiving this delusion in his childhood to then send it back in time basically a loop. like whose the original creator kinda paradox
The stability makes sense with information gained later in the series and is not actually a plot hole.
Thanks for your reactions to Steinsgate. I love them
Hey man sorry for the unrelated comment but will you be reacting to Solo Leveling Season 2? Sorry if you have already answered this 😅
