Tremble, right hand of mine...
By the contract we made, I order you
to shroud yourself in black flame and grant my desire!
Now I can't heat up my fried chicken!
You sure about this?
Mayuri, this is no longer a microwave.
If you join the lab, you'll be dealing with this all day.
It's a time machine!
That's not fair!
Then go buy me a new microwave, Okarin.
I don't have the money.
I told you photographing me is prohibited.
It's to celebrate.
No photos!
Okay, done programming.
Phone Microwave, 2nd edition, Version 1.03 is done.
Now you can use the Phone Microwave's cell phone
to send a D-mail to any phone you like!
You did it, Daru!
Then let's continue our experiments.
Is it really a time machine?
Don't tell anyone, okay?
But don't you think the landlord will get mad at us?
Part-time warrior!
Mayuri, be quiet!
Where's Mr. Braun?
Who's that?
Don't call my dad Mr. Braun...
You mean the boss? He's out on a service call.
I don't think he'll be back for a while.
Seriously?!
If it weren't, I wouldn't be screwing around outside
Mayuri.
Okay.

Juicy Fried Chicken Number 1 would taste better...
Hey, there's no Dr Pepper!
They were out.
If they're out, keep looking until you find some!
That's what it means to be a Dr Pepperian.
They didn't have any.
What do you want me to do about it?
You want some or not?
Geez...
What kind of mad scientist worries about not getting enough vegetables?
Let's begin the Round Table.
It's hot in here. Let's open a window.
What are you doing, Daru?
What if the Organization discovers our secret...
Delusion fail!
What's a Round Table?
We will now move Operation Urd to stage two,
and take experiments on D-mail to a more practical level.
In the summer, you gotta have barley tea.
Want some too, Moeka?
Practical? What are we going to do?
Change the past.
Wait... That's too dangerous.
If you create a time paradox...
Assistant, as a scientist,
aren't you interested in whether we can alter the past using D-mail?
W-Well...
But what will we change?
Good question.
Here's what I want to accomplish with this operation...
Win the lottery.
Okarin... Mayushii is very sad.
I'm in.
If I had money, I could buy new parts for the computer,
and I could go to May Queen all I want.
Don't you think we should work toward world peace?
Like give everyone in the world an Upa cushion...
Okabe, that's really lame.
It's an experiment to see if we can change the past.
That would be the easiest way to tell!
But basically, you just want money, right?
Shut up, Celeb 17!
Cele... Huh?
Celeb 17!
I don't want to hear anything from a woman
living in a hotel on her parent's money!
I'm 18.
But there are all kinds of lottery tickets.
Which one do you want?
Well...
What's wrong?
No...
Where'd Moeka go?
Huh?
Wait!
Sheesh... I can't take my eyes off you for a second.
It's because you didn't respond.
I really want to borrow the IBN 5100. Please... Ill take that as a yes?
Is she supposed to be a valley girl LOL?
Christina, keep a close eye on her,
so she doesn't wander around!
How am I supposed to do that?
Do you want to see the lab, Moeka?
I'll show you around later.
Mayushii is good at that!
I did it for Kurisu too!
Where should I start?
Oh, I see.
The Lotto 6.
Every Thursday, the winning numbers are announced.
We'll send the numbers to the past.
We're really doing this?
You have any other bright ideas?
Which division numbers do you want?
By the way, first division prize is...
two hundred million yen!
Two hundred million yen?
Wait, Daru.
Two hundred million yen is a bit much.
First division would draw too much attention.
The Organization is chasing me, after all.
You have cold feet, don't you?
What's second division?
Twenty-three million yen.
Third?
Seven hundred thousand.
We'll go with that!
Okabe's a chicken, isn't he?
That's coming from someone worried about a time paradox, Celeb 17?
And this is the Upa cushion!
When you're tired or feeling down,
you give it a hug, like this!
And this is the fridge!
What's inside today?
Um...
Hey!
Shining Finger!
Here's your first mission as a lab member.
Ooh, your first job!
Think of what to write in the D-mail.
Something that'll make the me of one week ago want to buy a Lotto 6 ticket.
Seven days ago would be 168 hours, so about 170 seconds on the timer should do it?
Buy Lotto-6 You'll win!
Sounds about right.
Okay, we're ready.
At last, the time has come to open Steins Gate!
That again?
You really never tire of it, do you?
And you need to stop whining about it every time.
You looked like you were having fun.
I-It's not like I'm having fun, all right?
That said, our assistant sure is a tsundere.
Who's a tsundere?!
Ooh, Miss Makise, you know what a tsundere is?
I don't!
No, you definitely responded like you did.
I said I haven't!
Okay, I'm starting up the microwave.
That's too dangerous.
If you create a time paradox...
Why am I so scared?
El Psy Congroo!
Sending...
Sent
Okarin!
Are you okay?
Wh-What was that?
How long have I been standing here?
About 30 seconds, I guess.
Thirty seconds?
You don't remember?
We were just talking about an experiment to see if we could change the past with a D-mail.
Then...
You ran over to the Phone Microwave
and started panting.
Mayushii, can you say "panting" again?
Stop it, pervert!
Buy Lotto-6
It's here.
You'll win!
Okabe, are you really all right?
Where's the money?
The Lotto 6!
Cel. Seven, did I win third prize?
Don't call me Cel. Seven....
What are you talking about?
What do you mean? You...
Okarin?
The experiment?
We did an experiment to see if we could change the past with the D-mail...
We were just talking about what we could
do for the experiment.
Mayushii wants something that'll bring about world peace!
Like giving everyone in the world an Upa cushion!
You really don't remember...
Come in!
It's Ruka!
Welcome!
Kyouma, I'm sorry!
Ruka?
This...
02, 12, 18...
It's the same.
Rukako! Where did you get this?
Um... You gave me the numbers.
I did?
You told me to buy it since it might win.
Wh-When?
One week ago.
Wow, Okarin's a psychic!
So, Ruka, did you win?
Well... I got one of the numbers wrong.
So close!
Too close!
Okabe, did you use the Phone Microwave to...
Hey, there's no Dr Pepper!
They didn't have any.
What do you want me to do about it?
There's no doubt that I sent the D-mail,
but there's no record of it.
The past has been changed?
They didn't remember the experiment,
even though we all talked about it, and we all observed.
Only I remember.
Only I...
This feeling! It's just like back then...
What's going on?
What's that?
Something important.
What's wrong?
You look like you've been brainwashed.
Brainwashed...
It's possible.
But was I the one brainwashed... or were they?
What?
There's no chip.
It's okay.
You're not brainwashed.
Chip?
What's "brainwashed"?
That's...
I, Hououin Kyouma, will tell you.
I guess Nae's scared of Okabe Rintarou.
There's something I want to ask you.
Electricity?
You mean when there are all those sparks?
You did it before, didn't you?
There should've been one 10 minutes ago.
I didn't notice that one.
What about you, Nae?
Nope!
You really are a pervert!
I'm not a pervert!
I'm a pervert-gentleman!
See?
I told you that you can hear it.
I didn't know it was this bad...
Did you hear about the time machine?
Yeah. Nice job, I guess!
Let me warn you...
I know... I won't tell anyone.
Are you worried about something related to the time machine?
Then why not ask John Titor?
Come to think of it, John Titor mentioned this.
If you go to the past and change it,
this alters something called the divergence number,
and the world line moves to another world.
When there's a world line shift, people's memories are altered,
and memories of the new world are created.
The D-mail moved the world line
from a world where Rukako didn't buy the Lotto 6 ticket
to one where he did.
The world line changed, and so did the past.
In this world,
I didn't send the D-mail with the winning Lotto 6 number
into the past.
It's not that the other lab members don't remember the experiment.
It never happened.
So why am I the only one who remembers?
Oh, no!
Nae, whatever he asks, don't tell him I was slacking off!
Will you give me a ride on your bike?
I will!
Okabe Rintarou!
I'm on your side, okay?
You!
Daddy!
Okabe!
What were you doing with my daughter?!
W-Wait! I wasn't doing anything!
Shut up!
A guy like you wouldn't be able to control his desires if left alone with my adorable daughter!
Do you always think about me like that?
And we weren't alone...
Suzuha was just here too.
What? Is that true, Nae?
I promised, so I can't say she was slacking off.
What?
Hey! Part-timer!
Knock on wood!
You were slacking off!
Argh, you left the 42-inch on!
I-I'm sorry!
I'll explain why later.
We're stopping the experiment for today.
Everyone, please go home.
Okarin...
So, little miss assistant there, you're not going home?
I'm just thinking about something.
I see.
You'd be all alone if you went back to the hotel,
so you want me to spend time with you.
Right, little Cel. Seven.?
Don't call me Cel. Seven.!
I've gotta send this text message.
If you want to stay here, be quiet, The Zombie.
That's the name that bugs me the most.
You're like a girl, waiting for a message from her crush.
You really want attention that much?
Who was that message for?
John Titor.
Rukako
The Lottery
I'm really sorry
From: Shining Finger Subject: I Had Fun Next time, tell me about the time machine. It's a promise. A promise, right? Bye! Moeka
Daru
Daru?
Hello.
Okarin, I realized I made a huge mistake!
A mistake? What?
Actually... Actually...
I left my wallet at the lab!
What?
So now I can't get into May Queen!
Okarin, would you...
Okarin!
Oh, it's you Mayuri.
Daru's with you, right?
You don't need to lend him money, okay?
Got it.
So, Okarin, do you feel better?
If you don't, you can hug Mayushii's Upa, okay?
Then you'll feel better.
Okay.
I'm hanging up.
Good luck at work.
Thanks.
Bye!
Okabe, you're smiling.
It's here!
I read your message.
Just as you deduced,
the past was changed, and the world line has undoubtedly moved.
The one thing I don't understand
is why you retain your memories from before the change.
Is that true?
It's true.
Something similar happened before.
What does this mean?
I don't know.
The concept of changing the past
via email was never considered,
even in the year 2036.
You changed the past and moved world lines.
But it's never been confirmed if
anyone alive can maintain their memories
over a world line jump and observe the change.
But...
Kyouma, you may have that power.
You may be able to lead the world
beyond Divergence 1%...
Lead the world?
What lies beyond Divergence 1%?
What happens then?
Sending...
Sent
What lies beyond it is true freedom.
If you can't cross that barrier,
the future will become a dystopia.
My goal is to change the future.
And you may be the one who has that power.
Okabe, what's wrong?
What's he talking about?
Me? Change the future?
That's...
Kyouma,
I want...
...you to be the messiah.
