I will now explain the parameters
of the final mission, Operation Skuld.
Change the result without changing established history.
The past consists of Makise Kurisu, lying in pool of blood,
and Okabe Rintarou seeing her there.
Change the past without changing that.
Dad, pass me that screwdriver.
Why are you calling me "Dad"?
Just do it.
As I thought, we only get one more chance.
We don't have enough fuel for more than one trip to the past and back.
So you won't be able to return to the future?
I never planned to.
By changing the world line here
and thereby changing the future, I won't need to go back.
But...
If I fail to change it, I'll have to stay here.
Regretting it, forever.
Don't be stupid!
Uncle...
I'm not your uncle.
I am Hououin Kyouma, mad scientist,
and the man who will destroy the world's power structure.
Failure is not an option.
Got it. I believe you.
We commence Operation Skuld.
The time is now!

He made me laugh when he said, "The time is now,"
and then had to run to the lab because he forgot something.
Hurry up!
We can't leave the time machine there for too long.
The Cyalume Saber?
What are you going to do with that?
The sticky red fluid in its core is the key.
Huh? I didn't know that was there.
I understand.
You plan to substitute it for Makise Kurisu's blood.
Exactly.
On July 28th, if I see
an unconscious Christina lying in a pool of blood,
the past won't change.
That's the idea behind Operation Skuld.
I guess it makes sense, but...
Doesn't it seem a little too easy?
Future Okarin made it sound like a greater force was at work here.
Hououin Kyouma speaks even more dramatically
when a plan is simple.
The fool...
I see through his schemes!
I don't know whether to be impressed or not.
Mad scientist fail.
Hey...
Okarin?
Did that Kurisu person sit here?
With you?
Mayuri...
She'd get really excited and talk to Daru.
And Mayushii wouldn't really understand,
but they were having lots of fun.
And you two fought constantly,
but really, you were good friends.
Mayushii, what are you talking about?
Makise Kurisu is a scientific genius.
She would never come to a lab like this.
It's weird, right?
Was it a dream?
Maybe she possesses the Reading Steiner too?
No, she doesn't.
But somewhere inside, she remembers
what happened in the other world lines.
Everyone does, somewhere in their hearts.
Kurisu did everything she could to save Mayuri.
Mayuri... No, all of us can be here now
because of Kurisu.
Hey, Okarin? Do you like Kurisu?
Christina is my assistant, my dear friend,
and very special to me.
I understand.
And she's in love with me too.
No way! Okarin gets a real girlfriend?
Then you have to save her,
no matter what.
You must save her!
Yeah.
Yup.
Be sure to bring her back!
I will.
Hey, um... Miss Amane...
If you're really my daughter,
who was my wife?
I'll keep that a secret.
Again?
Let's go!
We've managed to arrive at exactly the same time as before.
The rest is up to you.
Understood.
Just leave the Cyalume Saber where I asked you to.
On it.
Change the result without changing the established past.
For that to work...
this is where I begin.
I don't know the overall effect,
but if I get the metal Upa here,
it diminishes the odds of any metal ending up in that folder.
I thought so.
There aren't many left of this series,
and Mayushii's out of 100 yen coins!
Don't be a spoiled little girl, Mayuri.
Even though I've known you since we were kids, I'm not lending you money.
I'll teach you how harsh life can be.
It's an Upa!
Is it rare?
It's not rare, but isn't it cute?
Okay, next...
I'm sorry!
Kurisu.
How do you know my name?
Have we met somewhere before?
Kurisu...
Are you listening—
What's wrong with you?
Answer me.
I...
I'm going to save you.
Professor Nakabachi's press conference
will now begin in the eighth floor hall.
Wait!
Wait a second!
I never imagined I'd have to pretend to be myself.
Kurisu picked up the Upa that Mayuri dropped?
Mayushii
But since it isn't metal,
that folder will burn in the airplane accident.
All that's left is getting rid of Nakabachi
and finding a chance to knock out Kurisu.
The liquid dried up?
That's right!
I haven't used it for such a long time
that air got in and dried out the liquid.
What do you want?
I wanted you to read this, Daddy.
Think...
Think!
There must be something.
Something!
Think!
Getting rid of Nakabachi won't be difficult.
But the blood will be problematic.
If there was just something I could substitute...
Shut up!
How dare you call it stealing?
That's it!
Stop!
Who are you?
A man who desires chaos.
One who will destroy the world's power structure,
and the man who will destroy your ambitions.
Would you like to know my name?
I am...
Hououin Kyouma!
What nonsense are you talking about?
You're that kid!
I get it.
So that's how it is.
You worked together to ruin my press conference...
I see. So that's how it is.
Daddy...
Run!
No!
What's wrong?
Why did you bring that knife?
What did you say?
Are you scared?
Do my godlike powers terrify you?
D-Don't insult me!
Come on. You're shaking.
Are you scared?
How long will you insult me?
In the end, you're just a small, pathetic man.
A man too small to appreciate his own daughter's talent can't kill me.
Never!
Ever!
N-No way.
No...
This can't be happening.
Th-That's what you get...
Calm down.
Almost there...
How dare you?
I'll kill you.
I'll kill you!
You won't get away with this!
D-Don't move!
Lie down. I'll call an ambulance.
Hello?
Is this emergency services?
I need someone here now!
I...
Someone is stabbed!
I told you...
I'm going to save you.
This is, without doubt,
the Kurisu I saw.
Uncle...
Goodbye.
Wait.
Could you just wait a minute?
We don't have time!
You'll bleed out.
Please.
Hey, is someone there?
Good luck.
You're about to begin the longest,
most important three weeks of your life.
You went too far!
Even stupidity has its limits!
What are you talking about?
The plan succeeded.
All I can do is stop the bleeding.
When we get back, you'll need to go to a hospital.
This'll be hard, but try to hang on.
Here we go.
This is...
Yeah.
No one knows what'll happen in the Steins Gate world line.
Suzuha...
But if your theory is correct, the paper will burn, so the time machine arms race won't come to pass.
Neither will World War III.
I can't stay,
so I'll say thank you now.
Thank you.
I'll see you in seven years.
Card: To Okarin
Card: For Okabe Rintarou-sama
Okabe
Rintarou-sama
Okarin!
That paper would've altered mankind's future.
It was a paper for constructing a time machine!
And it's gone... Burned up!
His words were unclear,
and the Russian government denied everything.
Was Okarin here, Ruka?
I missed him!
When he came by...
This badge identifies you as Lab Member 006.
When did I become a lab member?
Those memories may rest in your other life.
What are these characters?
Kyouma?
He was just here.
I knew it.
Did you get something, Feyris?
Now that you mention it...
This badge is for Lab Member 007.
When you desire my aid, hold the badge and say,
"La Yohda Stasella." Just like that.
Okabe was just here.
Big Sis Mayuri!
Nae!
She'll be working here, from now on.
I'm Kiryuu Moeka.
She helped Nae after she fell down.
She said she didn't have a job,
so she'll be working here.
I'm Shiina Mayuri.
She's really popular.
Okabe started hitting on her the minute he saw her.
Visit the lab whenever you like.
Um...
Thank you.
{Welcome back-arin!}Oh, come in!
Do "oh, come in" and "Okarin" sound that similar?
Yup!
Where's Okarin?
He said he was going shopping.
I see.
These?
He said they're lab member badges.
Lab Member 002 and 003!
When did we get so many lab members?
He said they go up to 008.
Okarin's "O."
Shiina, Hashida, Urushibara, Feyris...
Who are "M," "K," and "A"?
Dunno.
He had another one that he put in a box.
Lab Member 008 will arrive in seven years.
More fantasies?
It's an inevitable future.
Your inevitable future.
Mine?
Seven years...
It'll be fun.
Who do you think it'll be?
Seven years? I can't imagine.
But I don't think the lab will change,
no matter how many years go by.
Where are you now?
Are you writing a paper in an American research lab?
Are you working all night on some experiment?
You may still be thinking of your father.
You don't remember the three weeks we spent together.
But that's okay.
Right now, you're breathing, speaking,
and thinking your hardest about something.
That's enough.
You're watching the same world I am,
this world with its unknown future.
I finally found you.
I was looking for you.
I wanted to thank you for saving me.
It's me.
Why is she here?
What?
Because I protected her?
You're flattering me.
Well, if that's its choice.
El Psy Congroo.
El Psy?
We meet again, Christina!
I told you I'm not Christina, and I'm not your assistant.
Huh?
Welcome my assistant, Makise Kurisu.
No, Christina.
No one knows what the future holds.
It has infinite potential,
as this encounter makes clear.
This is the choice of Steins Gate.
