[00:02] ---
    Theoretically, it is possible.
[00:05] ---
    However, that's just in theory.
[00:08] ---
    The mental burden alone will
    be colossal... to go back to 2011.
[00:13] ---
    Even with the improvements that
    make it possible to leap two weeks at once...
[00:17] ---
    ...in order to go back one year,
    you'll have to time leap over 20 times.
[00:23] ---
    Part way through, it'll be 48 hours.
[00:25] ---
    A leap will take you just two days back.
[00:28] ---
    Which means...
[00:29] ---
    It'll take some 3,000 time leaps...
[00:34] ---
    That's an absurd amount...
[00:36] ---
    You're really going?
[00:39] ---
    Yeah.
[00:40] ---
    I have no other choice...
[00:42] ---
    ...if I'm to change this world.
[00:45] ---
    Looks like you're set on going.
[00:52] ---
    Long time no see, Okabe Rintaro-san.
[00:54] ---
    [Kurisu]?!
[00:58] ---
    The entire time you were in a coma,
    she was monitoring you day and night.
[01:04] ---
    Amadeus was?
[01:06] ---
    I can't exactly fight,
    so it's the least I could do.
[01:09] ---
    But still, for 11 whole years?
[01:11] ---
    Time is irrelevant. That sort
    of supervision is no work for me.
[01:16] ---
    Also, she'll be your partner
    for your long time leap journey.
[01:22] ---
    No matter how many times you leap back...
[01:25] ---
    ...up until 2025, each time you wake up,
    she'll be right there for you.
[01:31] ---
    When you woke up this time,
    you broke my terminal though.
[01:36] ---
    After you wake up...
[01:37] ---
    ...if you tell me you came via time leap,
    I'll do what I can to help.
[01:42] ---
    Just say you wanna get back to 2011.
[01:46] ---
    What?
[01:47] ---
    Nothing, it's just...
[01:50] ---
    I remembered a conversation
    like this from a long time ago.
[02:06] ---
    No longer... will I run.
[02:11] ---
    Mayuri once said...
[02:13] ---
    ...it wasn't right to push everything on me.
[02:17] ---
    Somewhere along the line,
    her kindness became my excuse.
[02:21] ---
    However...
[02:23] ---
    I only stand here right
    now because of everyone.
[02:26] ---
    Because they were there...
[02:28] ---
    Because they never gave up, I'm here.
[02:31] ---
    It wasn't forced on me alone.
[02:33] ---
    Because I want to carry it too.
[02:35] ---
    It's everyone's future.
[02:43] ---
    Ready?
[02:44] ---
    Do it.
[03:01] ---
    "Rinascimento of Image Formation
    -Return of Phoenix-"
[03:36] ---
    Okabe? You're awake?
[03:39] ---
    Okabe, don't move so quickly.
[03:42] ---
    For the past 11 years,
    you've been out cold in a coma.
[03:46] ---
    You shouldn't be--
[03:47] ---
    Listen to me...
[03:48] ---
    Hmm?
[03:49] ---
    I time leaped here
    from two weeks in the future.
[03:53] ---
    Huh?
[03:54] ---
    Time leaped...?
[04:01] ---
    Curse you, five-hours-from-now me...!
[04:08] ---
    Listen...
[04:11] ---
    I used the time leap machine to
    come here from two weeks in the future.
[04:16] ---
    I met Daru and Hiyajo-san too.
[04:18] ---
    It's now the year 2036, and I heard
    all about what the world's become...
[04:24] ---
    And you...
[04:26] ---
    And you... You've been watching
    over me for the past 11 years.
[04:31] ---
    Eh? U-Uh...
[04:33] ---
    I-I find it hard to believe, but...
[04:36] ---
    Believe me. It's the truth.
[04:40] ---
    You're really... from the future?
[04:44] ---
    I need a favor.
[04:50] ---
    Okabe-san?
[04:52] ---
    Kyouma!
[04:55] ---
    Sorry to worry you two.
[04:58] ---
    Okabe-san!
[04:59] ---
    Kyouma!
[05:15] ---
    Okarin!
[05:16] ---
    It's true, you really woke up!
[05:19] ---
    Daru, Hiyajo-san...
[05:20] ---
    Did you hear from Amadeus?
[05:24] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[05:25] ---
    Are you serious? To go back to 2011...
[05:29] ---
    I know full well that it'll
    take about 3,000 time leaps.
[05:34] ---
    But, you're really...?
[05:37] ---
    Okarin.
[05:39] ---
    Please.
[05:44] ---
    I guess this means you'll be having
    this same conversation over and over.
[05:48] ---
    Every time you time leap...
[05:51] ---
    Not only that, but he'll taste the pain
    of waking from a long sleep each time.
[05:57] ---
    You sure about this?
[05:58] ---
    Okabe-san...
[06:00] ---
    Rukako.
[06:01] ---
    Y-Yes?
[06:04] ---
    There's no such thing as a fixed future.
[06:06] ---
    Never give up.
[06:08] ---
    A path will open for sure.
[06:20] ---
    Okabe? You're awake?
[06:22] ---
    --You say, "Don't move so quickly."
    --Don't move--
[06:25] ---
    And that "For the past 11 years,
    you've been out cold in a coma."
[06:31] ---
    You...
[06:41] ---
    You won't be able to
    leap like you have till now.
[06:44] ---
    Because two weeks before today,
    you're not even here.
[06:48] ---
    Where was I?
[06:49] ---
    I don't know.
[06:51] ---
    Two weeks ago, you were caught
    by the peacekeeping squad.
[06:56] ---
    It wasn't until yesterday that we
    rescued you and found you in a stupor.
[07:01] ---
    So... other than today
    and that one day two weeks ago...
[07:06] ---
    You won't be able time leap.
[07:08] ---
    Doubt you'll get a chance to take
    a call once you're captured either.
[07:12] ---
    You can't until you're
    rescued and carried here...
[07:14] ---
    ...and you're connected to the
    monitoring terminal and Amadeus.
[07:20] ---
    Sorry.
[07:22] ---
    If only we were quicker by one more day
    and got you out of there sooner.
[07:27] ---
    We could've sent you off
    with plenty of time to spare...
[07:31] ---
    In that case, I'm equally at fault for not
    improving the time leap machine.
[07:36] ---
    The best I could do was two weeks.
[07:40] ---
    336 hours isn't nearly good enough.
[07:43] ---
    It's frustrating.
[07:45] ---
    That's not true.
[07:47] ---
    I'm actually grateful you
    managed a two-week time leap.
[07:51] ---
    Even Kurisu was stuck
    with 48 hours as her limit.
[07:55] ---
    You should be proud of yourself.
[07:58] ---
    Yeah!
[07:59] ---
    That's not my only worry.
[08:02] ---
    If the time leap machine alters
    the world line even slightly...
[08:07] ---
    ...this current situation might be ruined
    and you actually could end up dead.
[08:12] ---
    It might change the past.
[08:18] ---
    I know.
[08:25] ---
    Even so, I'm going back.
[08:28] ---
    I've come 11 years since 2036,
[08:31] ---
    done hundreds of time leaps,
[08:33] ---
    and with the help of my friends
    from year after year, reached where I am.
[08:37] ---
    Okarin-san!
[08:39] ---
    I'm glad you're all right!
[08:43] ---
    Yuki-san and...
[08:48] ---
    Listen here!
[08:50] ---
    You've all fought with all of your hearts,
    no matter the time or place.
[08:53] ---
    So please, don't give up!
[08:56] ---
    The future...
[08:58] ---
    ...I'll show you it can be changed!
[09:04] ---
    Do it!
[09:05] ---
    Here we go!
[09:14] ---
    Okarin!
[09:19] ---
    Kyouma! We're heading
    for the rendezvous point!
[09:22] ---
    Hurry there, meow!
[09:24] ---
    Faris...
[09:29] ---
    Okabe?
[09:30] ---
    Isn't the operation in progress?
[09:33] ---
    Listen to me.
[09:34] ---
    I time leaped here from the future.
[09:37] ---
    Huh?
[09:37] ---
    It might be hard for you to believe,
    but there's no time.
[09:41] ---
    Trust me, I need your help.
[09:45] ---
    Wh-What?
[09:47] ---
    Today... I end up getting caught by
    the Bureau, tortured by them, and die.
[09:53] ---
    What should I do?
[09:55] ---
    What can I do... to escape from that fate?
[10:02] ---
    We know why you get caught.
[10:04] ---
    We heard it directly from you.
[10:07] ---
    Okabe Rintaro dies in 2025.
[10:11] ---
    Up until now, you've used that
    to your advantage and lived.
[10:15] ---
    If today is that day...
[10:17] ---
    ...the world line convergence you've had
    as your ally finally turns the tables on you.
[10:23] ---
    No matter what you do...
[10:24] ---
    ...the world line will converge
    and you'll end up captured.
[10:30] ---
    Even so...
[10:31] ---
    Okabe.
[10:33] ---
    Think you can give me ten minutes?
[10:36] ---
    I've got a plan.
[10:38] ---
    All right.
[10:40] ---
    In that ten minutes...
[10:45] ---
    ...memorize this map with the enemy positions.
[10:47] ---
    Huh? What's the meaning of this?
[10:50] ---
    Typically, I'm the one navigating you to safety.
[10:54] ---
    Even the concept of time,
    indicated by two hands,
[10:54] ---
    But if we assume this is a trap,
    there's a high probability that
[10:57] ---
    the fact that I'm with you
    is responsible for your death.
[10:59] ---
    is distorted by whoever observes it
[11:01] ---
    So...
[11:02] ---
    Uninstall the Amadeus app?!
[11:04] ---
    Just in case, remove your radio battery too.
[11:04] ---
    Knowledge bestowed by God
[11:07] ---
    It might be enough to confuse them.
[11:08] ---
    must have its limits, an absolute boundary
[11:10] ---
    Also...
[11:11] ---
    Use them as decoys?!
[11:13] ---
    I refuse to--
[11:14] ---
    Calm down!
[11:16] ---
    It's sheer coincidence resulting from ignorance
[11:16] ---
    You came here from 2036,
    time leaping the entire way.
[11:20] ---
    an uninvited miracle
[11:21] ---
    Right?
[11:22] ---
    Yeah...
[11:22] ---
    For this once-locked gate
[11:23] ---
    Therefore, you've witnessed
    they're alive in the future.
[11:26] ---
    They can't die here.
[11:26] ---
    all rules are now off
[11:27] ---
    B-But...!
[11:28] ---
    Open the eyes
[11:29] ---
    It's okay, meow, Kyouma!
[11:29] ---
    As I reach out at the speed of light
[11:32] ---
    the pulse of my memories
[11:33] ---
    Kuu-meow filled us in.
[11:34] ---
    We're all running circles around the city, meow!
[11:35] ---
    leaps into unfathomable logic
[11:37] ---
    Kyouma should run straight for Akiba
    and get to the time leap machine, meow!
[11:40] ---
    Open the eyes
[11:41] ---
    Once again, the universe
    hides logic without order
[11:42] ---
    It's too dangerous! You can't--
[11:44] ---
    Okarin!
[11:46] ---
    This is where you've gotta believe in us, dude.
[11:47] ---
    in which individual points
    said to be comprise infinity
[11:49] ---
    Daru...
[11:52] ---
    borrow improper power to replay over and over
[11:53] ---
    The target's marker disappeared.
[11:56] ---
    They're gone from GPS.
[11:57] ---
    He had to have disconnected Amadeus.
[12:00] ---
    Teams 1 and 2, head for that area, pronto.
[12:03] ---
    Our priority is capturing the target.
[12:06] ---
    Ignore the rest of Valkyrie if needed.
[12:08] ---
    0 is the past, 1 is the future
[12:09] ---
    As long as Okabe Rintaro--
[12:10] ---
    Target acquired!
[12:12] ---
    Wait, this is...?
[12:14] ---
    What's wrong?
[12:15] ---
    There're multiple Okabe Rintaro markers!
[12:17] ---
    Two? Three?!
    They're coming up all over the place!
[12:20] ---
    With countless lines running in parallel
[12:21] ---
    What's that mean?!
[12:22] ---
    I-I don't know!
[12:23] ---
    Out of nowhere, Amadeus just popped up!
[12:26] ---
    Lintahlo...
[12:29] ---
    I'll no longer give up.
[12:30] ---
    0 is the past, 1 is the future,
    and now is nowhere
[12:31] ---
    I'll no longer lie to myself.
[12:33] ---
    I'll no longer pretend I made the right
    choice... and I'll no longer compromise!
[12:36] ---
    It's an undeniable logic
[12:39] ---
    They've all been desperately battling on,
    driven by the hope to change our world.
[12:40] ---
    Open the eyes
[12:41] ---
    With countless lines running in parallel
[12:44] ---
    and choice leading to sacrilege
[12:45] ---
    I'll believe in their hope.
[12:47] ---
    our own existences come into doubt
[12:47] ---
    Hope... will be my strength!
[12:51] ---
    I'll show everyone we can reach that place!
[12:53] ---
    The sceneries reflected in
    your eyes all converge together
[12:55] ---
    Okarin.
[12:56] ---
    Uncle Okarin.
[12:58] ---
    Okabe-kun.
[12:59] ---
    Kyouma!
[13:01] ---
    Okabe-san.
[13:02] ---
    Okarin-san.
[13:04] ---
    Okarin!
[13:09] ---
    Okabe.
[13:14] ---
    I will!
[13:37] ---
    Okarin?
[13:38] ---
    What's going on?
[13:42] ---
    Daru...
[13:43] ---
    --Huh?
    --Hiyajo-san.
[13:45] ---
    Punch me!
[13:47] ---
    Eh? A-Again?
[13:48] ---
    --Wh-What are you talking--
    --No need to hold back.
[13:51] ---
    Think of all the anger
    you've pent up because of me.
[13:55] ---
    Your feelings for Suzuha...
[13:56] ---
    Take it all and punch me with it!
[13:59] ---
    What's this about?
[14:00] ---
    It's deserved.
[14:02] ---
    I've had my head buried in the sand.
[14:04] ---
    I've been running in fear and I deserve it!
[14:08] ---
    Are you really... sure?
[14:11] ---
    Hashida-san?!
[14:14] ---
    Yeah.
[14:16] ---
    Do it!
[14:17] ---
    Ah!
[14:31] ---
    Uh...
[14:32] ---
    Okabe-san!
[14:38] ---
    Eh?
[14:40] ---
    That did the trick...
[14:42] ---
    --I expected no less a slug
    from my favorite right arm...
[14:45] ---
    --Eh?!
    --I expected no less a slug
    from my favorite right arm...
[14:47] ---
    I... have time leaped back from the future.
[14:51] ---
    Eh?
[14:52] ---
    Okarin?
[14:55] ---
    You're so wrong, Daru!
[14:59] ---
    Huh?
[15:04] ---
    That laugh!
[15:11] ---
    Huh?
[15:27] ---
    My name is...
[15:29] ---
    ...Kyouma!
[15:31] ---
    Kyou... ma?
[15:33] ---
    Yes.
[15:36] ---
    Lab Member 001!
[15:40] ---
    The founder of this lab...
[15:42] ---
    The seeker of chaos, the destroyer
    of this world's ruling structure...
[15:46] ---
    The mad scientist...
[15:51] ---
    ...Hououin...
[15:53] ---
    ...Kyouma!
[15:58] ---
    O-Okabe-san...?
[16:00] ---
    --Okarin!
    --Eh?!
[16:02] ---
    You, the Loli Girl!
[16:03] ---
    --Huh?
    --Yes, you!
[16:05] ---
    Who else here is a Loli Girl but you?!
[16:08] ---
    Bring my lab coat! At once!
[16:11] ---
    --Wh-What the heck?
    --Aha!
[16:13] ---
    Behold my sacred, silvery armor!
[16:15] ---
    The moment my hands slide through
    these sleeves, I truly awake from my slumber!
[16:24] ---
    Um, Hashida-san? What's this?
[16:27] ---
    He's gone back... to the old Okarin!
[16:30] ---
    Eh?
[16:31] ---
    When he's nutty and nonsensical...
    and has out-of-control delusions!
[16:35] ---
    He's back to our leader, Okarin!
[16:38] ---
    You both complete time leap machine.
[16:40] ---
    --Eh?
    --My being here is proof of that.
[16:43] ---
    Loli Girl!
[16:44] ---
    Don't call me that!
[16:45] ---
    As of today, I grant thee
    the title of Lab Member 009!
[16:50] ---
    You are now a hand of Hououin Kyouma
    and shall aid our operations!
[16:56] ---
    Hiyajo Safina.
[16:58] ---
    Wh-Who the hell's that?!
[16:59] ---
    As of now, I call a round table meeting!
[17:02] ---
    Summon all lab members immediately!
[17:05] ---
    What's going on, meow?
[17:07] ---
    Who knows...?
[17:08] ---
    Um... Could you explain
    why we're here today, Okabe--
[17:12] ---
    It's Kyouma!
[17:15] ---
    A new operation is about to commence.
[17:18] ---
    For it to succeed,
    all lab members must do their part.
[17:21] ---
    Where's Mayuri-chan and Suzuha-san?
[17:23] ---
    Moe-meow sent a message that she's busy, meow.
[17:26] ---
    Uh, Shiina-san and--
[17:28] ---
    Never fear.
[17:29] ---
    It's all within expectation.
[17:31] ---
    Nevertheless, the operation will continue.
[17:34] ---
    --Oh! So the red star I saw
    yesterday in the western sky was...
    --I hereby name it... Operation Vega!
[17:41] ---
    Recover Amadeus's data?
[17:44] ---
    Yes, confirm if you must.
[17:46] ---
    She's already left messages on @channel
    and Leskinen has taken her away.
[17:51] ---
    Huh? The professor? Why would he...?
[17:53] ---
    It's real! The occult board got hacked!
[17:57] ---
    The Organization has showed its hand
    and is jamming phone signals in Akihabara.
[18:02] ---
    However... Faris!
[18:04] ---
    Meow?
[18:04] ---
    Deploy the neighborhood
    watch around the Radio Building!
[18:07] ---
    They should spot several
    suspicious foreigners in the area.
[18:11] ---
    Relay us info on all of them!
[18:12] ---
    We'll have to rely on pay phones!
[18:14] ---
    Roger, meow!
[18:16] ---
    R-Radio Building?!
[18:18] ---
    I know that Part-time Warrior
    and Mayuri are heading there.
[18:21] ---
    W-We've gotta stop them!
[18:23] ---
    Even if we stopped them, it'll likely end
    the same way because of convergence.
[18:28] ---
    If there's any way to stop them, yes...
[18:31] ---
    Eh?
[18:32] ---
    Yes, it's me.
[18:34] ---
    Right... The operation has one sole objective.
[18:37] ---
    To ensure Mayuri and
    Suzuha are safely sent to the past.
[18:41] ---
    I know... I won't repeat that mistake again.
[18:47] ---
    El...
[18:48] ---
    ...Psy...
[18:50] ---
    ...Congroo...
[18:53] ---
    Mr. Braun!
[18:54] ---
    Huh?
[18:55] ---
    What's with you? The second
    I think you're almost normal...
[18:59] ---
    I don't have time to explain the details.
[19:02] ---
    This phone outage is the Organization's doing.
[19:05] ---
    Stratfor.... DURPA...
[19:07] ---
    I seek your assistance, Mr. Ferdinand Braun.
[19:12] ---
    Well?
[19:13] ---
    Just like Okarin said, it's been taken away.
[19:16] ---
    But if I can just find out where...
[19:18] ---
    I'll leave your tea right here.
[19:20] ---
    Thanks.
[19:21] ---
    Don't mention it. I can't do much else...
[19:24] ---
    That's not true at all.
[19:26] ---
    Remember what he was saying earlier?
[19:28] ---
    Rukako, I need you to
    support the mechanic members.
[19:31] ---
    Support?
[19:32] ---
    Yes... It's a vital mission requiring
    consideration and a stout heart.
[19:39] ---
    I wondered why everyone was so
    happy to see that Okabe-san back, but...
[19:43] ---
    I think I see why now.
[19:45] ---
    Hell yeah!
[19:47] ---
    Make no mistake, I found it!
[19:49] ---
    Mission complete!
[19:51] ---
    Urushibara-san, get the word out!
[19:54] ---
    Right!
[19:56] ---
    You have one missed call.
[20:00] ---
    Hello, Kyouma-san?
[20:02] ---
    Hashida-san just found Amadeus
    and should recover it shortly.
[20:07] ---
    He said not to worry.
[20:09] ---
    Good, with this...
[20:13] ---
    Wait for me, Mayuri...
[20:16] ---
    I will save you.
[20:26] ---
    Suzu-san...
[20:28] ---
    Ouch!
[20:29] ---
    Stay still. That ricochet may have
    just grazed you, but you're still bleeding.
[20:36] ---
    Excellent!
[20:38] ---
    To think she'd clean up all on her own...
[20:40] ---
    The future's brainwashing
    techniques sure are incredible.
[20:44] ---
    You're...
[20:46] ---
    You did this... to Kagari!
[20:49] ---
    That's right, Valkyrie's Hashida Suzuha-kun.
[20:53] ---
    Kagari was a spy long before the
    day you left on your journey with her.
[20:58] ---
    That is, courtesy of the future me.
[21:02] ---
    Your anger is justified, though
    I don't have the time to entertain it.
[21:10] ---
    I'll make it easy on you.
[21:12] ---
    Soon, you won't have to think
    about the bitter future or painful past.
[21:17] ---
    Or perhaps... you'd like
    for me to wipe clean your mind?
[21:21] ---
    That's right. A little tampering
    with your brain and...?
[21:25] ---
    What?
[21:28] ---
    Lintahlo...
[21:30] ---
    Uncle Okarin?
[21:32] ---
    Okarin!
[21:38] ---
    How is it that you're here, Lintahlo?
[21:42] ---
    Who told--
[21:43] ---
    Kagari won't be coming.
[21:52] ---
    Because... we've already restrained her.
[21:57] ---
    You may not have realized it, but we've
    taken measures around the Radio Building.
[22:00] ---
    This world is not even real at all
[22:02] ---
    Mr. Leskinen.
[22:04] ---
    You may have thought yourself as a
    god who could see through everything, but...
[22:05] ---
    It's just a vision pulled over our eyes
[22:08] ---
    ...I'm afraid to say all
    your schemes have been foiled.
[22:11] ---
    Lintahlo, what are you...?
[22:12] ---
    At the point of infinity, a mundane cosmos
    is overwriting all the values I know
[22:15] ---
    What do you think you're--
[22:21] ---
    Okarin?
[22:23] ---
    Lab Member 002... Shiina Mayuri!
[22:23] ---
    If some arrogant god thinks they've seized control
    and keeps pulling strings at the speed of light
[22:28] ---
    Operation Arclight.
[22:32] ---
    I time leaped to come here.
[22:33] ---
    Then I, just I alone
[22:34] ---
    I know all about it.
[22:36] ---
    Okarin...
[22:37] ---
    In less than 30 minutes,
    this place becomes a war zone.
[22:38] ---
    I'm fine being that miracle,
    that lethal minority
[22:41] ---
    Hurry!
[22:42] ---
    Uncle Okarin!
[22:44] ---
    I'll somehow deal with Kagari!
[22:45] ---
    I can fly
[22:46] ---
    If that moment, if that place was
    something you thought was special to you
[22:47] ---
    Take care of Mayuri.
[22:49] ---
    Okarin...
[22:50] ---
    All right.
[22:52] ---
    The past doesn't have to be
    memories that simply drift away
[22:57] ---
    Instead of the pain of being hurt,
    everything about that precious scene will
[22:59] ---
    With this, they should make it in time.
[23:02] ---
    The time machine will vanish
    to the past... following history...
[23:02] ---
    Become a light and give birth to zero
[23:07] ---
    With this...
[23:08] ---
    There is no god. Wonderful new world.
[23:20] ---
    Impossible! It's too early!
[23:28] ---
    Mayuri!
