![]() Okabe then has a monologue "Mayuri is safely here with us. Shortly after, there's another scene transition where Okabe (damn he looks good in black) meets Mayushii in a park, they walk around for a while while talking, but as we get to know from their conversation, Okabe doesn't go to the lab anymore, meaning he dropped his mad scientist persona. in a chill inducing epic post traumatic stress disorder scene hearing some words over and over and over. This scene ends and we Okabe lying on the lab couch, with his lab outfit thrown on the ground. Suzuha tries to slap Okabe so he will try the second attempt, but is stopped by Mayushii, who proceeds to comfort the devastated blood-stained Okabe, hugging him while he cries. that it would unlock the video message that was unwatchable the day Kurisu died, which contained his future self telling him how to achieve Steins Gate.īut on the alternate episode. While he is on such as traumatic state, Mayushii slaps him and gives him a pep talk insisting that he should never give up, followed by Suzuha telling him that he should have failed saving her. When Okabe returns to the present accompained by Suzuha, he keeps muttering "I killed her." in a very despair-inducing tone while refusing Suzuha's attempts to return to the past a second time and save Kurisu. only to kill her herself, oh how cruel is the fate that the mad scientist must go through to save his loved ones. Nakabachi meets Kurisu in this room and goes berserk on her trying to kill her, Okabe tries to save her. Steins Gate (regular) episode 23 title is "Open the Steins Gate" and it beings with Suzuha explaining that Okabe MUST save Kurisu and avoid World War III, and enter the world line known as Steins Gate, these two time-travel together to the past, most precisely to the building from episode 1 where everything started, and Okabe hides in the room where Kurisu was stabbed. ![]() (Only about 7 minutes towards the end are different) Oh, you don't remember what was going on in the episode 23? Here's a quick reminder! Steins Gate episode 23 β is an episode that was aired on NicoNico when the countdown for newest visual novel from the Steins Gate series, Steins Gate 0 ended, which was on December 3rd, logically every S G fan began to get hyped and anxious about this new episode. * Also if you're a first watcher, don't watch the regular episode 23 followed by this alternate episode, watch the series then probably the movie, followed by this.* *This review contains spoilers along with my own opinion bias, read at your own risk, and I really mean it when there's HEAVY SPOILERS for at least the first watcher.* Thank you for reading my review, and as always, feel free to leave a reply on my profile if you liked or hated it and need to tell me why. ![]() This is a wonderful "prequel" episode to the events that are about to unfold and I, personally, can't wait to see what comes next. His development is masterfully portrayed.Īfter watching this episode I am even more excited about Steins Gate 0 than I already was, and that's all a special really is, isn't it? A way of putting out something for people to see and get excited about. This is something the Okabe of the original series wouldn't have done. I could be wrong, but the phone call Okabe had sounded like he was either going on a date, or meeting up with some friends to eat or go to a movie. We could see at the end how Okabe is now a college student, he's accepting adult responsibilities, dressing in a more conventionally appropriate way, and he even remarked that he's socializing. Obviously having previous knowledge about his character helped our foundation, but we could see before our eyes him mentally snapping. I thought that the mini-development Okabe went through in this episode is terrific. ![]() I understand completely that Steins Gate 0 will look relatively different (it'll be 1080p, have the look of the VN, and will obviously be better funded) and I have no problem with that, but it was really nice that they stuck with what they did in the original series in this one. I appreciate that they didn't update the look and instead it felt like a alternate version rather than an addition. I honestly enjoyed the throwback with the art and animation. Who do you choose to let die? Your childhood friend who has become part of your identity? Or the To me, it was like the creators were afraid of leaving it as a tragedy for fear the fans wouldn't like Kurisu actually dying as if to discard the entire point of the series itself: The choice. One of my only complaints with the original series is how they had to have episode 24 and how it felt like they undermined the tragedy in the story to give everyone a happy ending.
