Well, pretty much an empty episode since almost all of it was composed of already exposed ideas/truths.
We only got Mayuri's worries and Kurisu learning about her possible death should they go back to the original time path.
I choose timepath, there are many timelines in path alpha and path beta.
Also, they mainly focus on path alpha and path beta. I guess that's because the divergence number is very near and it's easier to switch from one to the other thanks to that. After all, the very first D-mail was enough.
In the end, I guess we'll get a path gamma or even delta that will give a sufficently good ending or open end even if the divergence number is a lot more difficult to attain.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I was wondering how close Kurisu was to death in that last scene. It's the exact spot where she was murdered. And we've still yet to figure out who or why it was done. (John Titor?)
Also, this "cracking" was to remove their info from SERN's database, right? If that's all it is, then it's an action performed within their timeline.. they're not performing any "D-mails" to change time.. so would that really shift them?
Gah!, as you said, empty episode is making me wait for another week.

They don't have to perform D-mails. They just have to undo the previous D-mails' effects. It just so happens that cracking SERN achieves that, or so they think.
Peace.
That's true, but they can't undo that effect without changing the past. And the only real way they can do that now is to use another D-mail.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
Cracking into SERN to delete the records of *whatever it was that I forgot, lol - their data?) doesn't mean none of that ever happened. Anybody who's been reading that up until now and has acted on it up until now will just notice everything's gone. Using that rationality, I just can't see any way of changing world lines other than doing something to the past - ie, send a D-mail.

You can change the future by changing the present, not just the past. They are probably hoping that their data has not been given particular attention at this point because they have yet to complete the Time Leap machine, and that by deleting their data right now, they can be ignored completely.
I do agree with you that is naive and it probably won't work, but that does not negate the fact that doing something in the present can affect the future, because Okabe's present is the past after all. Heck, even doing something at any time line has effects to the entire world line.
Peace.

KURISU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(
Thank god this series is 24 episodes long. I would have cried if they let it end like that, as closed-ended as it may have been. I have no idea what the hell happened during that "interference" during the ED. Someone modified the timeline that Okabe was in and pushed it into a "Gamma" world line?
I sure hope the BDs have better picture quality since all the dark scenes look kinda meh with all the banding - even if the contents was great.

Awesome episode. I thought Okabe looked cool for the 1st time since the show started.
Deceive the world.
Peace.
Which one, the one in the phone, or the newly invigorated one right when the episode ended?
Interesting twist where all the established rules in the alpha timeline changes (time machine travel directions and all). I can't quite remember the start though.. Okabe sent the D-mail about Kurisu dying to.. Daru, right? What did Daru then do that changed their fate and shifted timelines?
Part Time Soldier's even cooler decked out in soldier gear. Especially the hairdo - and I love long/down hair. Though twin braids also has a tendency to rub me the wrong way, so who knows...
And how did they control the video file such that it only shows after Okabe's failed once? I don't think they'll ever explain that one.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It wouldn't play because that future was not certain until Okabe experienced "killing" Kurisu once. I know it is not consistent with how part time soldier is already there in the present, but that is the most logical explanation. That inconsistency might be caused by the paradoxical implications of directly communicating with yourself in another timeline, as hinted by part time soldier's warning this episode.
I like the older Okabe better. Like Tutururun~ said, "shibui."
Peace.
I admit I still have difficulties adjusting to the deeper directions that show is following as opposed to the lighter/funnier ones in the early eps. Some of the jokes were really refreshing. Still, I think even what we have now is fairly well written and enjoyable.
In a way, I'm happy to have the chance to have had a show that I enjoyed for a good slice of life/light humor part, and another part I enjoy for a deeper and neatly knitted plot.

A lot simpler than I thought it'd be as well. But nontheless......... Epic is all i have to say.
Awesome
I was like 80% sure Okarin was going to use his own blood for the fake death since the last episode, and I regret that the thought came to me. The whole playout probably would have had more emotional effect had it smacked me in the face this episode instead.
Part Time Soldier could have stayed with them a bit longer, since it'll be seven whole years later that she'd be born and create a possible time paradox - but then the longer you stay the harder it'll be to part.
Okarin and Kurisu's ending does leave me a bit unsatisfied though. The obvious is that we don't get to see them together romantically (or semi-romantically, if that's too far), but it's also the fact that she said "thanks for saving me" when she should actually have no idea what Okarin saved her against. Her father was beating her, but until Okarin appeared, he didn't draw his knife or display any intention to kill. Even when it was drawn, it was pointed solely at him.
Wasn't as climatic as what I was hoping this finale would be, but it finished the story in any case (and it was awesome from start to finish). {insert edit: the ending didn't have a triumphant finish that another certain time-leaping/resetting anime had - possibly due to the lack of a clear antagonist who kept fucking shit up for the main char. It lacked the feeling of being rewarded for his efforts, even though I'm sure Okarin feels 100% satisfied that Kurisu's alive} At that, I'm not too excited about the movie since I really don't care for compilation films, but I'm sure I will be in a year's time. Especially since Marik's link leads to some comments about things being different, or something being a sequel, or something about a true end. The poster was kind enough to black-out the details so I got the tease without the spoiler.

For Kurisu thanking Okarin when she should not know what she was saved from,
remember that everyone around Okarin know somewhere in their heart what happened the numerous times Okaring leapt.
Wasn't it last episode, or some episodes ago that Kurisu told Okarin she had dreams with a bad ending?
Searching for him and thanking him was because she knew that if Okarin didn't help that time, her bad dream would have happened since the setting was just so perfectly identical to the point when Okarin arrived at the scene.
I agree to the fact that the ending was not as flashy as it should have been.

That happened during the last time they were in the Alpha world-line I think. I'm always thinking that everything changed and got reset when they went over to Beta, but I think you're right in that it's the accumulation that matters, regardless of where they are right now. Hmm....
The other thing I just remembered that was introduced but still hasn't been 100% explained was that scene with Okarin and Mayushi in the dusty desert world talking about them being the "real Mayushi and Okarin" amongst all the different timelines. The parts about Mayushi looking up at the light as if wanting to leave this world. They mentioned that the Alpha world-line's convergence destined Mayushi to die every time... but I was expecting something a bit fuller. Then in our quest to save her it was all kinda covered up and forgotten.
