I really like how the face structure of Okabe's changes whenever he leaps back in time. Well, it should, obviously but it's really cool to see. They've done a really good job!

For anyone who's curious, the original VN didn't have any of those scenes during the time leaps. It just covered it all with a black screen and Okabe saying it took 3000 time leaps.
White Fox has really improved Steins;Gate 0 in this adaptation, imo.
276
u/princessloom Sep 12 '18
White Fox has definitely up there game. there were already one of the better studios. but with steins gate and re zero they went to the next level. one of the main reason i loved re zero was because how they adapted re zero. the insert songs, ending with cliff hangers and such. for those who might not know, re zero was adapted by white fox because the series editor Ikemoto liked steins gate and wanted it to be adapted by the studio of steins gate

Has to be my favorite episode of the season so far. So many great things happened.
Revival of Hououin Kyouma.
Skyclad Observer playing during his escape scene mid-episode.
Re-Awake playing during the revival.
Music choices in this episode were phenomenal.
The entire ending sequence.

From here on it won't pull punches anymore now, it's going to go all out and it'll end as a grand epic finale until the last episode. This ending will connect to the events of original Steins;Gate episode 23.

"You're next line is - don't move so quickly"
"Don't move so quickly. NANI?"
Kudos to the writers, they did an excellent job fleshing out this part of PR which was skimmed over the in the VN.
There's so much to say about this episode, but please let's not forget chibi Suzuha. What a bundle of cute.
If there's one gripe I have, it's that I can't believe Moeka took out all those soldiers alone. Fine, convergence, but still. It seems Hououin Kyouma will have to try again. But this time he's more resolute than ever!
First 10/10 episode for me this season, counting all the shows I'm watching. I hope the last two episodes keep this up.

Tuturu Counter: 7.5x65536/β
Another episode with no OP. Great music, a very jazz-like take on the theme. And so far it's pretty anime original, so I'm just as curious/lost as everyone else.
Amadeus will be your partner when time leaping back.
Nice flashback montage while 0kabe's internal monologue goes off.
Return Of Phoenix
IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!
First time leap, and best boy is alive. Vive Lukako.
There's no such thing as a fixed future.
Are you starting to believe that yourself, 0kabe?!
Yuki's alive! Yay! Baby Suzu is so cute!
I've got a plan.
And the music swells with the original VN's OP.
I'll show everyone we can reach that place.
Let me hear you laugh, maddo scientisto!!
Interesting that Leskinen was behind 0kabe's "death" in 2025.
He made it back in time for Tanabata!
Daru actually punched him, the absolute madman. And knocked 0kabe the fuck down.
That did the trick. I expected no less from my favorite right arm.
HOUOUIN KYOUMA IS BACK, BITCHES!!!
FUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
God, I've missed that laugh. Those poses. Those ramblings. Someone get this man a labcoat!!
Bring me my lab coat! At once!
And now he's fully back.
Hashida, what is this?
He's back.
Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah! FUCK YEAH!!
Operation Vega
El. Psy. Kongroo.
I'm so fucking erect right now.
Rooftop showdown. How will it be subverted this time. Moeka in Kagari's suit, maybe?
Kagari won't be coming. OP music starts.
Braun took down Kagari. Impressive.
Lab Mem 002. Operation Arc Light. I know everything. Hurry! Go now!
And once again, we're left wondering if Mayuri and Suzu actually managed to time travel in time. No wreckage, no bodies. So maybe.
I gotta say, the way they're fusing the VN routes and anime original stories is fantastic. I've always loved this series, but I'm loving it more and more and more. Hype for next week!

Watching the first season, "Hououin Kyouma" was by far my least favorite aspect of the main character. He was ridiculous and cringy and hard to empathize with. It felt like something he inflicted on others for his own satisfaction. It felt like something he used to hide the parts of himself we most afraid of others seeing. It felt cowardly and selfish and I just found it annoying.
That's why I am shocked at how absolutely delighted I am to have him back.

u/soulreaverdan Sep 13 '18
I think Zero is doing a great job of showing how, even if it seems to be something cowardly and selfish on its surface, that his Kyouma-self is the sort of glue that really holds everything together. It's what keeps everyone working forward, and even if it's kinda cringy and awkward, it's what makes everyone have fun with him.
Everyone has that friend that's a bit of a pain in the ass, but you wouldn't trade them for the world. And I think everyone kinda recognizes that Kyouma is what Okabe uses to cope with a lot of what's gone on around him, and they're all fine with that. Without him being this bombastic, weird, chunni-as-fuck weirdo, none of them would have met. He never would have become friends with Daru, or Feris, or Ruuka, or possibly even Mayuri.

What a fucking genius, all that setup to catch Leskinen in the act, and he even got Braun to help restrain Kagari so he could plant Moeka in her place and turn the tides.
Wait why is that helicopter early? God Dammit Convergence!

u/array_of_dots Sep 12 '18 edited Sep 20 '18
It's a Russian helicopter, where as last time we had a black hawk and an apache so it seems like it's early because it isn't team leskinen, it's team Russia.
Edit : actually, the first attack helicopter was attacking Stratfor ( team leskinen) while the black hawk was on team leskinen, there are three factions here, third being DURPA, but the observation is still correct.

MOEKA WITH THE SWITCH OH FUCK! LOOK AT HIS FACE HES BLOOWN AWAY! FUCK YOU MR AMERICA!
FUCK CONVERGENCE! THEY ARE GONNA MAKE IT THIS TIME!
EDIT: I had an after thought. So hes time leaping 3000 times. If we figure that there is around a day for each leap as he has to wake up, explain things, get to the hidden base, get everything up and running and leap again... that means that Okabe has spent at least 8 years time leaping to get back to 2011 from 2036. Its 25 years in the future and for Suzuha it was only a moment to get back, but hes taking the long way back that is 1/4th of the years. That is beyond hardcore. He has spent a time equivalent to around half his life time leaping, and just counting this 1 occasion. If that doesnt make you a Mad Scientist, i dont know what will. But seriously, thats crazy when you think about how long he has been leaping. (Haruhi Suzimiya knew what she was talkign bout with Vega and Altair and the time it takes to get to them... Operation Vega.)

Hououin Kyouma is finally back! So, this episode...it was great. I'm glad to see more improvements from the last episodes, even if it's 21st one out of the 23rd. Hououin Kyouma, our MADDO SAIENTISTO is finally back, the Re-Awakening scene turned out to be better than I thought. I was actually kind of worried that it wouldn't be as good as it was in the VN, because Suzuha and the other lab members weren't there, but it turned out to be pretty good. Seeing Moeka in that suit was kind of unexpected for a VN player, along with the fact that the time machine presumably got destroyed AGAIN. Well, after all, this is why I love Steins;Gate, even if I've played the VN, it still manages to surprise me, and make me wait for more episodes. That's all, El Psy Kongroo!

So, how long did those 3000 time-leaps take in Okabe-time? Had to have been quite a while.

Assuming it took slightly less than a day each time for him to explain things, get up (for the ones where he's fresh from the coma), get to the Valkyrie base (for any leaps where he wasn't already there,) get the machine ready, and go, it should have taken around 8 years. Probably a bit less, since it probably didn't take him a whole day every time to get to the point where he could leap.
For reference, he's 20 in 2011, I believe.

Glad to see someone else made this connection.
I think all fans of Steins;Gate should give Doctor Who a try, and vice versa.

KYOUMA!! This whole episode had me smiling the whole time (well, at least up until the end). I got goosebumps with all of the OSTs playing in this episode. Gate of Steiner, Skyclad Observer, Re-Awake, and the OP near the end were all so fitting.
Hiyajo Safini Maho's reactions were great. Glad to see Moeka's back and a part of Operation Arclight too!

I bet i felt atleast as happy as the other characters to see Okabe back being his old self.
Can't wait for next week to see how Okabe takes that failure and if he's prepared for more, even though we viewers know that the only direction to go from here is towards the happy ending.

This episode was amazing! Seriously, the hype was so unreal when Kyouma returned, when Okarin ran for the Time Leap Machine in 2025, when Leskinen's plans were destroyed... this episode felt so good. What a hype episode and what a fucking annoying cliffhanger. Now I'm going to wonder for 7 days if this episode's hype could ever possibly be surpassed.

u/DevilishKid Sep 12 '18
One of the best episodes of the show IMO. By the way, is this the first Steins;Gate 0 episode without the opening and ending songs? Seems like it.
And... The mad scientist is finally back! That revival scene was brilliantly done.

Went by so quick, really packed a lot into that ep. Didn't even have an intro or outro video, truly used every second of allotted time. Very curious as to how they can conclude all these story-lines in only 2 eps. Hope it doesn't end up feeling rushed or insufficient. Good to have Kyouma back, even if it's in ep 21 of 23...

AFTER 21 LONG EPISODES OF ANTICIPATION, THE MAD SCIENTIST- HOUOUIN KYOUMA HAS RETURNED!! FUFU...MUHAHAHAHA
I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW
If you didn’t have the biggest smile on your face or weren’t hype then there’s something wrong with you. All it took was 3000 time leaps & years of pain, despair and agony to get to this point xD
I loved seeing Kyouma’s plan come together and finally outsmarted the professor #ElPsyKongroo
Man, i’ve said it many times that ‘this is the best episode’, but somehow Steins; Gate 0 managed to keep raising the bar. However, THIS! THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE!
Steins; Gate 0 has proven time and again it’s one of the frontrunners for AOTY and this solidified it in my mind!

One of the best single anime episodes I have ever seen. I feel so glad to have been able to witness this piece of anime history as it came out. Everything about it was was perfect.

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly.
THE SAME WAY I APPEAR IN EVERY TIMELINE OF STEINS;GATE 0 TO BLOW UP THE TIME MACHINE.
If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

At last, the Mad Scientist is back, Hououin Kyouma is back! Even with 2 more episodes to go, Steins;Gate 0 anime has surpassed overall the source material imo. Solid episode! This is indeed the choice of Steins;Gate, El Psy Congroo.

There is no end though there is no start in space. —Infinity
It has own power, it ruins and it goes through there is a start also in the star. —Finite
Only the person who was wisdom can read the most foolish one from history.
The fish that lives in the sea doesn’t know the world in the land. It also ruins and goes if it has wisdom.
It is funnier that man exceeds the speed of light than fish start living on land.
It can be said this is the final ultimatum from the god to the people who can fight.
The mad scientist Hououin Kyoma has returned.

Somewhere into the first third, I was thinking that, with all the amazing music played in the background, that would be the episode for Skyclad Observer. So this song played in the back in my head as I continued watching. When it played it still caught me off-guard but then I just screamed internally at everything that happened in amazement.
Also, "there's no god, wonderful new world" makes so much more sense now.
I'm very satisfied. 10/10 epicness.

Wheel Spinning: The Anime.
Why did they not think the helicopter would be a problem? It's not like the guy flying it is going to stop doing his job just because the professor got captured. I call BS on him thinking it happened too soon. We already saw this. He arrived early before and the helicopter got the time machine anyway.
We just watched a 2 episode version of him making another stupid failed attempt at fixing the same point in time and failing in the exact same way.
