[00:15] ---
    Okabe-san? What are you doing this early?
[00:19] ---
    Hiyajo-san...
[00:21] ---
    I have to ask you something.
[00:22] ---
    What?
[00:24] ---
    Have you given up talking funny now?
[00:27] ---
    Due to our D-RINE, Amadeus was lost, but...
[00:32] ---
    ...we still meet Hiyajo-san,
    but apparently for different reasons.
[00:37] ---
    Even as world lines change...
[00:39] ---
    "Yesterday"
[00:40] ---
    ...that fate which links us,
    those connections...
[00:43] ---
    Do they change to bring us together as well?
[00:49] ---
    Mayuri?
[00:50] ---
    Hello?
[00:51] ---
    Suzu-san is... Suzu-san's in trouble!
[00:54] ---
    Suzuha is?
[00:55] ---
    Yeah! She's heading to the time machine
    to go one year in the past...
[01:00] ---
    She's leaving, but she can't come back!
[01:02] ---
    Why did you...?
[01:03] ---
    Huh?
[01:04] ---
    Why did you have to go talk about it?
[01:08] ---
    There's no time.
[01:09] ---
    I can't even find out and
    confirm what exactly has changed.
[01:14] ---
    Today is double sevens day!
[01:14] ---
    The only thing that matters is
    that they leave in the time machine.
[01:16] ---
    Orihime-sama will greet you in a miniskirt!
[01:20] ---
    Kagari?!
[01:22] ---
    Why is she so early?!
[01:27] ---
    Okabe-kun?
[01:29] ---
    Kagari's still after the time machine.
[01:33] ---
    I've gotta find her... and stop her!
[01:36] ---
    Lintahlo.
[01:40] ---
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[01:44] ---
    I suspect...
[01:46] ---
    You know more about the time machine
    than I gave you credit for?
[01:53] ---
    Where's Kagari?!
[01:55] ---
    Eh?
[01:55] ---
    After she escaped the facility...
[01:58] ---
    ...I know she met up with you and your crew.
[02:01] ---
    How much of the truth do all of you know?
[02:04] ---
    I see...
[02:05] ---
    It's different since the
    D-RINE took away Amadeus...
[02:09] ---
    Could this Professor Leskinen not
    have completely brainwashed Kagari?
[02:13] ---
    That's...
[02:15] ---
    Professor Leskinen.
[02:17] ---
    I know things about
    the future you can't even imagine.
[02:21] ---
    You wish to know about it?
[02:24] ---
    I'll tell you everything.
[02:26] ---
    Moeka!
[02:27] ---
    Huh?
[02:35] ---
    Okabe-kun!
[02:36] ---
    I'm fine.
[02:38] ---
    You need a doctor!
[02:38] ---
    There's no time for that!
[02:41] ---
    I need you to help me!
[02:43] ---
    Lab Member 005...
[02:45] ---
    ...Kiryu Moeka!
[02:55] ---
    Ouch...
[02:56] ---
    D-Don't do this!
[02:58] ---
    Kaga--
[03:05] ---
    Kagari...
[03:07] ---
    I won't let the past be changed.
[03:09] ---
    I won't let me meeting
    with Mommy be undone.
[03:13] ---
    Nobody's getting the time machine.
[03:16] ---
    Suzu-san... that's Kagari-chan?
[03:21] ---
    Why?!
[03:23] ---
    Mommy Mayuri...
[03:25] ---
    Is Mommy trying to change the future too?
[03:29] ---
    Just like Big Sis Suzuha wants to.
[03:31] ---
    Does Mommy want to make it
    so the two of us never meet?
[03:35] ---
    Kagari-chan...
[03:36] ---
    I don't want that!
[03:38] ---
    However terrible the future is, I don't care!
[03:41] ---
    It's the only future
    that means something to me!
[04:10] ---
    What's wrong, Kagari? Can't shoot?
[04:13] ---
    You little...!
[04:14] ---
    Kagari-chan.
[04:18] ---
    Please, let's stop.
[04:20] ---
    It's dangerous! Stay back, Mommy! I have to!
[04:28] ---
    B-Big Sis Mayu...
[04:29] ---
    M-Mommy?!
[04:35] ---
    That was scary! I was holding my breath!
[04:40] ---
    But, I'm glad that you didn't shoot, Kagari.
[04:44] ---
    Mommy!
[04:46] ---
    Listen...
[04:48] ---
    Kagari-chan...
[04:50] ---
    You see, I'm going together with Suzu-san...
[04:53] ---
    ...aboard the time machine into the past.
[04:57] ---
    To open the eyes of someone special to me.
[05:01] ---
    You can't...
[05:03] ---
    It doesn't matter how hard
    Mommy and Big Sis Suzuha try!
[05:07] ---
    Nothing good will come of it! It won't work!
[05:10] ---
    There's only enough fuel to go one way!
[05:13] ---
    You can't come back!
[05:15] ---
    You don't even know... what will happen...
[05:18] ---
    Kagari-chan...
[05:20] ---
    It might be reckless... It might be hopeless...
[05:24] ---
    But, Okarin is different.
[05:28] ---
    Okarin has the power to change the future.
[05:31] ---
    No, I think everyone has it inside them.
[05:35] ---
    But Okarin uses that power
    to guide us all the right way.
[05:39] ---
    Which is why I want to give him
    the push on the back that he needs.
[05:45] ---
    If it's just that, I should be able to do it.
[05:50] ---
    It's the only thing Mayushii
    can do for my Hikoboshi.
[05:54] ---
    Hikoboshi...?
[05:57] ---
    That day, if my Hikoboshi
    had come back to life...
[06:02] ---
    Mommy's... Hikoboshi?
[06:05] ---
    Kagari.
[06:07] ---
    You should come with us.
[06:09] ---
    Eh?
[06:10] ---
    With us into the past... to change the future.
[06:14] ---
    The future doesn't have to be sad,
    nor does anyone have to die.
[06:18] ---
    Instead, we'll all make a future
    where everyone can be happy together!
[06:24] ---
    Let's go.
[06:26] ---
    Kagari-chan... together.
[06:29] ---
    Mommy...
[06:31] ---
    Do it for me too!
[06:35] ---
    Okarin?
[06:36] ---
    Moeka-san?
[06:38] ---
    Uncle Okarin!
[06:39] ---
    Listen... I've come here from the future.
[06:43] ---
    Using the time leap machine.
[06:45] ---
    This place is about to become a war zone.
[06:48] ---
    You have to hurry and
    leave in the time machine!
[06:50] ---
    That can't be...
    The professor doesn't know about...
[06:53] ---
    He's knocked unconscious right now,
    but it's only a matter of time!
[06:58] ---
    Okarin...
[07:05] ---
    Lab Member 002, Shiina Mayuri!
[07:09] ---
    Make Operation Arclight a success!
[07:14] ---
    When I'm all pathetic...
[07:17] ---
    ...slap some sense into me!
[07:19] ---
    Okay! Leave it to me!
[07:24] ---
    Kagari-chan, come!
[07:27] ---
    Mommy...
[07:30] ---
    Moeka!
[07:31] ---
    I can't hold them long! Hurry!
[07:35] ---
    Kagari-chan, let's go!
[07:38] ---
    Mommy...
[07:41] ---
    Tsk!
[07:43] ---
    Okarin-san.
[07:45] ---
    Okarin-san... You're fine
    with never seeing Mommy again?
[07:49] ---
    You won't be sad?
[07:53] ---
    What are you talking about?
[07:55] ---
    Mayuri's my precious hostage.
[07:58] ---
    I'll go to wherever she is and bring her back!
[08:05] ---
    Kagari?!
[08:09] ---
    Kagari-chan!
[08:10] ---
    Go! I won't let them anywhere near you!
[08:12] ---
    Kagari-chan!
[08:13] ---
    Hurry!
[08:14] ---
    Big Sis Mayu!
[08:17] ---
    Kagari!
[08:17] ---
    Mommy's Hikoboshi!
[08:20] ---
    I'm trusting you... Because you
    said I could meet Mommy again!
[08:25] ---
    Leave it to me!
[08:43] ---
    It came after all...
[08:46] ---
    Okabe-kun!
[08:47] ---
    Mommy!
[08:52] ---
    I see it...
[08:55] ---
    This time...
[08:57] ---
    There's nothing to fear!
[09:00] ---
    This is it!
[09:01] ---
    This instant!
[09:20] ---
    "Radio Building"
    "Akihabara"
[09:33] ---
    "1 new RINE message"
[09:37] ---
    Listen well, you fools!
[09:40] ---
    Schrödinger's box has opened!
[09:42] ---
    The time machine you bastards
    sought to obtain no longer exists!
[09:47] ---
    It has gone through space-time
    and has completely disappeared!
[09:51] ---
    Writhe with anguish and tremble in fear!
[09:54] ---
    I, Hououin Kyouma...
[09:57] ---
    ...against you fools
    and even fate, I will prevail!
[10:01] ---
    No matter what... I will find Steins Gate!
[10:05] ---
    That...
[10:09] ---
    ...is my...
[10:11] ---
    ...choice!
[10:15] ---
    "Arclight of the Point at Infinity
    -Arc-light of the Sky-"
[10:20] ---
    Eh? Huh?!
[10:22] ---
    Th-There's two time machines?!
[10:27] ---
    Uh, it's from me!
[10:28] ---
    "Incoming Call"
    "Mayuri"
[10:30] ---
    Eh?
[10:31] ---
    Wh...
[10:33] ---
    What the heck?
[10:35] ---
    I guess... I'll answer it.
[10:40] ---
    Hello?
[10:42] ---
    Who's this?
[10:45] ---
    Please, listen to what I have to say.
[10:51] ---
    Do you love Hououin Kyouma?
[10:54] ---
    Eh?!
[10:55] ---
    In one minute from now,
    Okarin will return, but...
[10:59] ---
    ...he will have failed in saving Makise-san.
[11:04] ---
    So...
[11:07] ---
    No matter what it takes...
[11:09] ---
    You have to confront
    your Hikoboshi and open up his eyes.
[11:13] ---
    My Hikoboshi?
[11:17] ---
    Yes.
[11:18] ---
    Hououin... Kyouma.
[11:21] ---
    Okarin's heart will be shattered,
    but you've gotta get him back on his feet.
[11:26] ---
    Just saying his name won't be enough.
[11:28] ---
    Thirty seconds left!
[11:30] ---
    Remember the exact moment
    Hououin Kyouma was born!
[11:36] ---
    The moment Hououin Kyouma was born...
[11:40] ---
    Feelings spanning 26 years
    and one more are entrusted to you.
[11:44] ---
    I believe...
[11:46] ---
    ...in Okarin, my friends, and in myself.
[11:52] ---
    So please believe too.
[11:54] ---
    The rest is up to you.
[11:56] ---
    Too-too-roo!
[11:58] ---
    Wait!
[12:00] ---
    Um...
[12:00] ---
    Big Sis Mayu! We have to go!
[12:02] ---
    Does Steins Gate...?
[12:04] ---
    Does Steins Gate really exist?!
[12:09] ---
    Yeah.
[12:11] ---
    I'm sure it does.
[12:14] ---
    The second one's gone too...
[12:18] ---
    Who was that call even from?
[12:20] ---
    "Incoming Calls"
    "Mayuri"
    "Rukako"
     "Daru"
[12:24] ---
    I'm sorry, Big Sis Mayu.
[12:26] ---
    It's looking hopeless.
[12:28] ---
    Yeah, there's no fuel, right?
[12:31] ---
    If we stayed it'd cause a paradox,
    so we had to jump...
[12:37] ---
    This might be it for us.
[12:40] ---
    We could get thrown into some random era.
[12:43] ---
    One year later... A million later...
[12:47] ---
    Suzu-san, thank you.
[12:51] ---
    Big Sis Mayu?
[12:52] ---
    For bringing me along with you today.
[12:55] ---
    I'm sure the other Mayushii and
    my Hikoboshi can take care of the rest.
[13:04] ---
    I'm so jealous of Uncle Okarin right now.
[13:07] ---
    If I had Reading Steiner...
[13:10] ---
    ...I could remember everything,
    even when world lines change.
[13:14] ---
    Big Sis Mayu being younger than me...
[13:17] ---
    This moment right now...
[13:19] ---
    I won't get to talk with
    Suzu-san for another six whole years.
[13:22] ---
    Oh, except...
[13:24] ---
    If you're just being born,
    I guess you can't talk much.
[13:30] ---
    Hey, Okarin...
[13:34] ---
    When the world seems like darkness...
[13:37] ---
    ...and you're afraid of the shadows...
[13:40] ---
    ...don't close your eyes.
[13:42] ---
    Don't give up.
[13:45] ---
    Don't kill off Hououin Kyouma.
[13:49] ---
    That way, my feelings might reach you.
[13:53] ---
    Even if traveling hundreds
    and thousands of hours...
[13:57] ---
    ...just like the light of that star.
[14:01] ---
    Mayushii will wait at the lab,
    however long it takes...
[14:07] ---
    Waiting for you, and all the others.
[14:11] ---
    Let's meet again in Steins Gate.
[14:21] ---
    --I killed her... I killed Kurisu... I killed Kurisu...
    --It's okay. This isn't his blood.
[14:26] ---
    Okarin?
[14:28] ---
    It's Okarin's phone.
[14:30] ---
    An e-mail?
[14:31] ---
    Open it.
[14:32] ---
    --But...
    --Just do it.
[14:35] ---
    "You have new messages"
[14:35] ---
    "Inbox"
[14:36] ---
    "Subject: (No subject)"
    "Turn on the news..."
[14:37] ---
    Turn on the news...
[14:38] ---
    The news?
[14:41] ---
    Despite a fire in the cargo bay,
    the airplane carrying Dr. Nakabachi...
[14:45] ---
    ...managed to land in Russia,
    to which he recently defected.
[14:48] ---
    --Oh! That's Mayushii's Metal Oopa!
    --WTF?!
[14:52] ---
    What's it doing in Russia?
[14:53] ---
    That paper is the start of it all...
[14:56] ---
    "Mayushii's"
[14:56] ---
    This pits the world's superpowers in
    an intense race to develop a time machine.
[15:02] ---
    Ultimately, it leads to world war.
[15:06] ---
    The lives of 5.7 billion people are at stake.
[15:09] ---
    Save Makise Kurisu!
[15:11] ---
    Change the world line!
[15:13] ---
    I can't.
[15:16] ---
    It's just like what happened with Mayuri.
[15:19] ---
    However hard I try, it'll always end the same...
[15:21] ---
    Remember the exact moment
    Hououin Kyouma was born!
[15:25] ---
    With Kurisu dying.
[15:27] ---
    I know.
[15:29] ---
    I know how insane this time loop is...
[15:33] ---
    I know how cruel of a fate it has in store...
[15:37] ---
    I knew...
[15:39] ---
    I knew this would happen...
[15:43] ---
    I'm tired...
[15:45] ---
    I've had enough...
[16:04] ---
    For you, billions and billions of heartbeats
[16:09] ---
    are nothing at all; just the blink of an eye
[16:09] ---
    "Stardust of Intersecting Coordinates
    -Milky-way Crossing-"
[16:12] ---
    Greetings...
[16:14] ---
    ...me from 15 years ago.
[16:15] ---
    are nothing at all; just the blink of an eye
[16:16] ---
    If you've opened this message,
[16:16] ---
    Although I'm trapped by
    the past and lament the future
[16:19] ---
    then that means you've failed to rescue Kurisu.
[16:21] ---
    inevitability won't allow for
    even a speck of a miscalculation
[16:23] ---
    It must've been painful for you.
[16:25] ---
    But that pain also gave me determination.
[16:27] ---
    Our dreams and futures that
    form and expand into "infinity"
[16:30] ---
    So I couldn't afford to undo it.
[16:33] ---
    allow us the right to be vain,
[16:34] ---
    Now we can move to the real focus of our plan.
[16:38] ---
    The plan is this: save
    Makise Kurisu and enter Steins Gate.
[16:39] ---
    while the two hands
    point out what is "finite"
[16:44] ---
    I was also the one who named
    the target world line "Steins Gate."
[16:45] ---
    All of which leads to a cruel
    contract and choice to make
[16:48] ---
    I'm sure you know the reason for that name too.
[16:50] ---
    Hacking to the Gate
[16:52] ---
    So, now, with each passing
    second, I'll cross world lines
[16:53] ---
    It doesn't really mean anything.
[16:55] ---
    Isn't that right?
[16:57] ---
    Hey, you sure about this?
[16:59] ---
    to protect that smile on your face
[17:00] ---
    Yeah, probably...
[17:02] ---
    Won't Okabe Rintaro in
    2010 be embarrassed by this?
[17:04] ---
    Then, once again, into a
    time loop without sadness
[17:05] ---
    Don't worry. He was even
    more amazing back then.
[17:09] ---
    I don't even wanna imagine.
[17:11] ---
    I will now outline your
    final mission: Operation Skuld.
[17:11] ---
    I will be swallowed up as a lone observer
[17:16] ---
    You must change the outcome
    without altering established past events.
[17:19] ---
    So, now, with each passing
    second, I'll cross world lines
[17:20] ---
    Deceive your original self.
[17:22] ---
    Deceive the world.
[17:24] ---
    That is the only way you can reach Steins Gate.
[17:26] ---
    to protect that smile on your face
[17:30] ---
    Good luck.
[17:31] ---
    Then, once again, into a
    time loop without sadness
[17:32] ---
    El Psy Congroo.
[17:35] ---
    Cut! Nice, that was perfect, meow!
[17:38] ---
    I will be swallowed up as a lone observer
[17:39] ---
    Now all that's left is to send it
    with a D-mail to the past.
[17:43] ---
    Ruka.
[17:44] ---
    Right.
[17:45] ---
    The video just now goes to Kyouma-san in 2010.
[17:48] ---
    And the one Itaru-san took...
[17:50] ---
    ...goes to Suzuha-chan in 2011
    after you depart on your trip.
[17:56] ---
    You really wanna do this?
[17:58] ---
    What's wrong?
[17:59] ---
    Because, you're manning the first run
    of an experimental time machine.
[18:09] ---
    You say you're supposed
    to die this year in 2025.
[18:12] ---
    But that doesn't mean
    you should just throw your life--
[18:15] ---
    I have no intention of doing so.
[18:18] ---
    I fully believe that we will succeed.
[18:21] ---
    But...
[18:22] ---
    What if you interpret it like this?
[18:24] ---
    In 2025, Okabe Rintaro doesn't die, but...
[18:28] ---
    ...he boards the first version
    of our time machine...
[18:31] ---
    ...and leaves for another space-time.
[18:34] ---
    Disappearing from this world line is...
[18:37] ---
    ...essentially the same as dying, is it not?
[18:40] ---
    That's some crazy positive thinking.
[18:43] ---
    Though, it holds up as a theory, right?
[18:47] ---
    "Mad Scientist: Deceive the world
    Connect the possibilities
    The world can be tricked"
[18:48] ---
    The world can be deceived.
[18:51] ---
    My friends, thank you
    for following me till today!
[18:55] ---
    As you know, on that day in 2011...
[18:59] ---
    ...a time machine left
    for the past but was lost.
[19:02] ---
    I leave now to find Mayuri and Suzuha!
[19:05] ---
    The Kerr black hole tracer
    will help me find their locus.
[19:09] ---
    It should lead me straight to them!
[19:12] ---
    Okarin-san.
[19:15] ---
    Take this.
[19:16] ---
    Are you sure?
[19:18] ---
    Yes... Please give it to Mommy for me.
[19:23] ---
    All right.
[19:26] ---
    Let me ask you one last time...
[19:29] ---
    Does Steins Gate...
[19:31] ---
    Does it really exist, you think?
[19:42] ---
    It does.
[19:44] ---
    For sure.
[19:48] ---
    As of now, the operation begins!
[19:51] ---
    Its name is...
[19:53] ---
    ...Operation Altair!
[19:59] ---
    Do you think... he'll succeed?
[20:02] ---
    Of course. Kyouma can do it, meow.
[20:05] ---
    That's right. He makes the impossible possible.
[20:09] ---
    That's what makes Okarin our Okarin.
[20:14] ---
    Okarin-san...
[20:22] ---
    The universe has a beginning, but no end.
[20:26] ---
    Infinite.
[20:28] ---
    Stars have beginnings too,
    but meet an end of their own making.
[20:34] ---
    Finite.
[20:36] ---
    History has shown that those
    with wisdom are the greatest fools of all.
[20:42] ---
    Fish that live in the sea know nothing of land.
[20:46] ---
    If they had that wisdom,
    they, too, would be ruined.
[20:52] ---
    For humans to exceed the speed of light...
[20:55] ---
    ...is more foolish than
    for fish to start living on land.
[21:00] ---
    These words are meant for those
    who dare to defy God's final warning...
[21:06] ---
    An epigraph for their stubbornness.
[23:14] ---
    Suzu-san!
[23:17] ---
    Mmm!
[23:25] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, you two!
