If we return to the beta world line...
**[00:03] ---**
If we undo that first D-mail...
***SIGN*** Being Meltdown
**[00:06] ---**
You will die.
**[01:46] ---**
So, there you are.
**[01:49] ---**
If you keep lying there, you'll get heatstroke.
**[01:52] ---**
You sleep on the roof of the lab
all the time, don't you?
**[01:56] ---**
Besides, it's cloudy now.
**[01:58] ---**
Did you see Mayuri?
**[02:00] ---**
Hashida said he couldn't find her at Comima...
**[02:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:04] ---**
I met up with her after that.
**[02:07] ---**
I see.
**[02:12] ---**
Hey, Okabe...
**[02:14] ---**
What?
**[02:23] ---**
All right.
**[02:28] ---**
Hey.
**[02:31] ---**
It's raining.
**[02:38] ---**
WTF?!
**[02:46] ---**
Why didn't you warn me earlier?
**[02:48] ---**
I'm soaked, down to my underwear...
**[02:51] ---**
I did tell you.
**[02:52] ---**
It's your fault, Christina, for not listen—
**[03:00] ---**
Y-You pervert!
**[03:02] ---**
I wasn't trying to look...
**[03:05] ---**
And it's your fault for wearing such thin clothes.
**[03:08] ---**
I'd forgotten you were such a pervert.
**[03:10] ---**
Who'd want to see your stick figure in the nude...
**[03:13] ---**
One more word, and I turn
your neocortex into a flower pot!
**[03:17] ---**
What kind of threat is that?
**[03:18] ---**
Stay away from me!
**[03:21] ---**
What's that?
**[03:24] ---**
I got scratched somewhere,
when I was looking for you...
**[03:27] ---**
Klutz!
**[03:29] ---**
I'm classified as a "mad scientist"...
**[03:31] ---**
Right, right!
**[03:32] ---**
You're so much trouble...
**[03:34] ---**
Hand that over.
**[03:35] ---**
I have a sewing kit on me.
**[03:37] ---**
I'll fix it up.
**[03:39] ---**
A sewing kit?
**[03:40] ---**
I consider myself more family-oriented
**[03:42] ---**
than most people.
**[03:44] ---**
Take it off.
**[03:47] ---**
Just to be clear,
**[03:49] ---**
it's dark, so don't expect too much.
**[03:52] ---**
And you can look forward to finding out,
after we leave, what color thread I used.
**[03:56] ---**
Black, red, pink...
**[03:58] ---**
You have a 33% chance of each one.
**[04:01] ---**
I'll just pray it isn't pink.
**[04:03] ---**
Stay back.
**[04:05] ---**
Don't worry.
**[04:06] ---**
I'm not interested in that stick figure of yours...
**[04:07] ---**
I told you... A flower pot!
**[04:12] ---**
Jeez...
**[04:14] ---**
Where did you have to go,
to rip your clothes like this?
**[04:18] ---**
Today, I went to the lab,
**[04:21] ---**
the laundry,
**[04:22] ---**
a walk.
**[04:24] ---**
And then to your hotel.
**[04:27] ---**
The hotel? You stopped by?
**[04:30] ---**
It's your fault.
**[04:32] ---**
You wouldn't answer my messages.
**[04:34] ---**
You weren't picking up your phone.
**[04:36] ---**
Were you worried about me...
**[04:38] ---**
As head of the lab,
it's my job to keep track of my assistant.
**[04:47] ---**
It isn't done yet?
**[04:48] ---**
Almost...
**[04:50] ---**
Here!
**[04:51] ---**
That's cold. Hey!
**[04:52] ---**
Just put it on.
**[04:53] ---**
I'm not interested in the stick figure
of a nude mad scientist.
**[05:07] ---**
It was probably around here, right?
**[05:14] ---**
The place I was stabbed...
**[05:20] ---**
How did you know?
**[05:22] ---**
The pain and despair were too real for a dream.
**[05:30] ---**
Kurisu. You can't mean...
**[05:34] ---**
I have hazy memories inside.
**[05:39] ---**
Weak, almost nonexistent memories...
**[05:44] ---**
Not just of being stabbed.
**[05:47] ---**
I remember you, too... hazily...
**[05:52] ---**
How desperate you were to save Mayuri.
**[05:55] ---**
How you kept pressing forward,
**[05:57] ---**
even hurt and all alone.
**[06:00] ---**
You haven't made it back to your original world,
**[06:03] ---**
but you've kept going,
**[06:05] ---**
kept calling her name,
**[06:08] ---**
kept crying...
**[06:11] ---**
Kept trying to save her.
**[06:14] ---**
Every time I see that face,
**[06:16] ---**
I think about how important she is to you...
**[06:20] ---**
And about whether it's possible for someone
**[06:25] ---**
to truly care for another person that much...
**[06:32] ---**
That's why I wanted to work with you.
**[06:36] ---**
That's why I wanted to help you.
**[06:44] ---**
Okabe, save Mayuri.
**[06:50] ---**
You must save her.
**[06:55] ---**
If we go to the beta world line, you'll die!
**[07:04] ---**
But it's the only way...
**[07:08] ---**
You know that better than anyone, right?
**[07:11] ---**
There's only one option.
**[07:13] ---**
You!
**[07:15] ---**
You're telling me to abandon you?
**[07:16] ---**
Is there another way?
**[07:21] ---**
I've been thinking about the following since yesterday...
**[07:24] ---**
"Isn't there some other way?"
**[07:27] ---**
"Isn't there something else we can do?"
**[07:30] ---**
But this time, I can't come up with anything...
**[07:35] ---**
Except going to the beta world line.
**[07:46] ---**
Okabe!
**[07:48] ---**
I refuse to accept this...
**[07:51] ---**
I won't give up!
**[07:54] ---**
*I can't...*
**[07:56] ---**
*I can't abandon Kurisu.*
**[07:58] ---**
*I can't let her die and then keep living.*
**[08:01] ---**
*What would the point of that be?*
**[08:04] ---**
*I...*
**[08:06] ---**
*I...*
**[08:23] ---**
You can run away...
**[08:25] ---**
You can run away, but that'll just make it worse!
**[08:30] ---**
Shut up!
**[08:33] ---**
No matter how many times you time leap,
**[08:35] ---**
you can't get past the 1% barrier!
**[08:37] ---**
We don't know until we try!
**[08:39] ---**
You'll just see Mayuri die!
**[08:42] ---**
Again...
**[08:45] ---**
It'll destroy you.
**[08:46] ---**
It won't...
**[08:50] ---**
How many times do you think I've watched her die?
**[08:54] ---**
I've seen it again...
**[08:57] ---**
And again and again and again
**[09:00] ---**
and again and again...
**[09:03] ---**
It won't destroy me...
The number of times I see it doesn't matter!
**[09:12] ---**
Do you hear what you're saying?
**[09:14] ---**
Mayuri's going to suffer and die...
**[09:18] ---**
How can you say it doesn't matter?
**[09:21] ---**
If that doesn't affect you,
**[09:24] ---**
then your heart's already broken...
**[09:29] ---**
Just stop...
**[09:31] ---**
Or it really will break you.
**[09:35] ---**
I know.
**[09:37] ---**
I noticed it long ago.
**[09:40] ---**
No matter how many times Mayuri died,
I stopped being surprised.
**[09:44] ---**
I'd gone numb without even knowing it.
**[09:49] ---**
Sometimes, I even waited before time leaping,
just to see when she'd die.
**[09:54] ---**
At some point,
**[09:55] ---**
it just stopped affecting me.
**[10:00] ---**
Somewhere inside, I was calmly telling myself
that I could do it over...
**[10:14] ---**
Save her...
**[10:16] ---**
If you don't, it will destroy you.
**[10:20] ---**
If you let her die, you'll regret it... I'm certain!
**[10:24] ---**
You and I have come this far,
from the single wish to save her!
**[10:29] ---**
If we stop, we'll always regret it.
**[10:33] ---**
But if we save her...
**[10:35] ---**
You'll...
**[10:36] ---**
I'll just go back!
**[10:37] ---**
To the first world line, before the D-mail was sent!
**[10:40] ---**
That's what's best for me...
**[10:42] ---**
And it's what's best for you!
**[10:51] ---**
*How many times have we fought,
over these past twenty days?*
**[10:56] ---**
*We've made fun of each other.*
**[10:59] ---**
*We've talked about our problems.*
**[11:02] ---**
*When my back was against the wall,
I turned to Kurisu.*
**[11:05] ---**
*Kurisu was the one who listened to me,*
**[11:08] ---**
*who believed me...*
**[11:11] ---**
*At eighteen, a genius with a
published academic paper.*
**[11:15] ---**
*Always calm, always strong-willed.*
**[11:18] ---**
*Always so proud and nosy.*
**[11:21] ---**
*But always so kind and honest.*
**[11:23] ---**
*Her theories continually amazed me.*
**[11:28] ---**
*And I remembered everything she said.*
**[11:31] ---**
*Watched everything she did...*
**[11:36] ---**
*She wasn't just another lab member.*
**[11:38] ---**
*To me, Makise Kurisu was...*
**[11:49] ---**
I can't save you...
**[11:55] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[12:01] ---**
Thank you.
**[12:03] ---**
For suffering so much for me...
**[12:09] ---**
Why was it you?
**[12:12] ---**
Why you?!
**[12:15] ---**
Hey, what does it mean to change world lines?
**[12:21] ---**
Maybe the second you go to the beta world line,
**[12:25] ---**
you'll just disappear from this world.
**[12:29] ---**
Or maybe you trade places with another Okabe.
**[12:33] ---**
That doesn't matter...
**[12:37] ---**
That's not true.
**[12:39] ---**
I'm not dead.
**[12:40] ---**
Even if I'm dead in the beta world line,
**[12:44] ---**
there's no guarantee that I'm going to die here!
**[12:47] ---**
There could be another me,
**[12:49] ---**
amidst all the other, infinite world lines.
**[12:51] ---**
And our minds are connected and comprise "me."
**[12:56] ---**
Don't you think that'd be wonderful?
**[13:01] ---**
You'd be everywhere, in every time, at once.
**[13:05] ---**
A great love for someone,
**[13:08] ---**
a great belief in something,
**[13:10] ---**
a great desire to pass on something...
**[13:13] ---**
If all those things surpass time itself and create "you,"
**[13:18] ---**
wouldn't that be wonderful?
**[13:21] ---**
So don't think of it as abandoning me.
**[13:26] ---**
Even if the world line changes,
**[13:29] ---**
as long as you don't forget me, I'm there.
**[13:33] ---**
So...
**[13:35] ---**
I will never forget you.
**[13:43] ---**
I won't forget the person I care for most.
**[13:47] ---**
Does that mean...
**[13:49] ---**
It's the truth.
**[13:50] ---**
H-How... It's so sudden...
**[13:53] ---**
I'm in love with you.
**[13:57] ---**
What about you?
**[13:58] ---**
What do you mean?
**[14:00] ---**
I want to hear your response.
**[14:02] ---**
How do you feel about me?
**[14:08] ---**
You want to know?
**[14:10] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:11] ---**
Your face... Close your eyes.
**[14:15] ---**
Why?
**[14:15] ---**
Just do it!
**[14:48] ---**
I-I didn't want to do that, okay?
**[14:51] ---**
But experiences, such as your first kiss,
**[14:55] ---**
that are stored in the hippocampus with your
strong memories are harder to forget.
**[14:59] ---**
So...
**[15:00] ---**
Too bad.
**[15:02] ---**
That wasn't my first kiss.
**[15:05] ---**
You bratty virgin!
**[15:07] ---**
Shut up, virgin.
**[15:09] ---**
My first kiss wasn't at all romantic.
**[15:14] ---**
Anyway...
**[15:16] ---**
That last one only left a weak impression.
**[15:18] ---**
Once more.
**[15:20] ---**
I don't want to forget, not ever.
**[15:22] ---**
So I'll take extra care.
**[15:25] ---**
Well, I guess that's okay.
**[15:27] ---**
Just a kiss, right?
**[15:34] ---**
*Time is passing so quickly...*
**[15:39] ---**
*Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein.*
**[15:44] ---**
*You know, Okabe...*
**[15:45] ---**
*Whether time is slow or fast*
**[15:48] ---**
*depends on perception.*
**[15:52] ---**
*Relativity theory is so romantic.*
**[15:57] ---**
*And so sad.*
**[16:08] ---**
Goodbye, then.
**[16:09] ---**
Sure about not saying it to Mayuri and Daru?
**[16:11] ---**
Everyone seeing me off would just make it worse.
**[16:14] ---**
If it's only you,
**[16:16] ---**
I can leave Japan without any hesitation.
**[16:20] ---**
That was a joke.
**[16:23] ---**
It's a present.
**[16:24] ---**
Take it.
**[16:27] ---**
I don't want this...
**[16:28] ---**
I upgraded it to version 2.67.
**[16:32] ---**
What a pain.
**[16:34] ---**
But I'll take it anyway.
**[16:38] ---**
Bye.
**[16:45] ---**
Kurisu!
**[16:45] ---**
Right...
**[16:48] ---**
This is for you!
**[16:57] ---**
Where were you throwing that?
**[16:59] ---**
Go get it.
**[17:01] ---**
Jeez...
**[17:26] ---**
*Okabe...*
**[17:27] ---**
*I'm sure, whatever happens, you're going to suffer.*
**[17:33] ---**
*Only you will remember me,*
**[17:36] ---**
*in a world where no one else does.*
**[17:40] ---**
*More than anyone else, you care for your friends,*
**[17:43] ---**
*so that'll be painful for you.*
**[17:48] ---**
*I'm sorry.*
**[17:51] ---**
*But somehow, I'm glad you'll have that pain.*
**[17:55] ---**
*Those times when you're sitting around the lab...*
**[17:57] ---**
*When you drink a can of juice...*
**[17:59] ---**
*When you walk around town...*
**[18:02] ---**
*And someday, when you kiss someone.*
**[18:07] ---**
*It doesn't have to be every time...*
**[18:09] ---**
*It can be one time out of a hundred...*
**[18:11] ---**
*But I'd like you to remember me.*
**[18:14] ---**
*Because I'll be there...*
**[18:17] ---**
*I'll be there, beyond the 1% barrier!*
**[18:23] ---**
*Okabe...*
**[18:26] ---**
*Okabe.*
**[18:28] ---**
*Okabe!*
**[18:39] ---**
Oh, man.
**[18:40] ---**
Okarin, I found it.
**[18:42] ---**
This is it...
**[18:43] ---**
This is totally it!
**[18:45] ---**
If we delete this...
**[18:46] ---**
Mission complete.
**[18:49] ---**
Okarin,
**[18:50] ---**
are you okay?
**[18:53] ---**
I'm fine...
**[18:55] ---**
We now begin the final phase of Operation Verdandi!
**[19:00] ---**
Our victory is nigh!
**[19:02] ---**
We have overcome all conspiracies...
**[19:06] ---**
Upholding our ideals to the last.
**[19:08] ---**
And finally, we have fought through
the battle of Ragnarok!
**[19:13] ---**
I thank those who have worked so hard for me,
**[19:17] ---**
to ensure this victory!
**[19:19] ---**
I am grateful to all those I have had to sacrifice...
**[19:24] ---**
What comes now is the world I wished for!
**[19:28] ---**
This is all the choice of Steins Gate!
**[19:33] ---**
The world...
**[19:36] ---**
...will be rebuilt!
**[19:39] ---**
*Kurisu...*
**[19:46] ---**
*I'm sorry.*
**[19:48] ---**
Okabe!
**[19:56] ---**
Okabe...
**[19:57] ---**
I'm also...
**[19:58] ---**
Kurisu!
**[19:59] ---**
I'm also in...
**[20:18] ---**
Mayuri?
**[20:20] ---**
Who is Lab Member 004?
**[20:22] ---**
004?
**[20:26] ---**
There isn't an 004.
**[20:34] ---**
Now the battle of Ragnarok has ended!
**[20:39] ---**
I, the mad scientist, Hououin Kyouma,
have controlled time itself,
**[20:43] ---**
foiling the Organization and SERN's schemes,
**[20:46] ---**
and bringing about complete victory!
**[20:50] ---**
The world's ruling structure has been reset!
**[20:52] ---**
And a future of chaos awaits!
**[20:55] ---**
This is the choice of Steins Gate!
**[20:59] ---**
Okarin, it's all right.
**[21:03] ---**
What are you saying?
**[21:05] ---**
I've just issued a declaration of victory...
**[21:07] ---**
You don't have to talk like that anymore.
**[21:11] ---**
Mayushii is okay now.
**[21:14] ---**
So you can cry for yourself, Okarin.
**[21:23] ---**
*We no longer need the Phone Microwave.*
**[21:25] ---**
*Because of it, I met Kurisu.*
**[21:30] ---**
*But because of it, so many were hurt...*
**[21:38] ---**
*Just as Hououin Kyouma has died,*
**[21:40] ---**
*the Phone Microwave should die, as well.*
**[21:44] ---**
*Living should mean no do-overs...*
**[21:50] ---**
*This is for the best. Right, Kurisu?*
**[23:00] ---**
Hello?
**[23:01] ---**
Huh? Wh-Who's this?
**[23:04] ---**
Dad?
**[23:06] ---**
What?
**[23:07] ---**
Okarin?
**[23:08] ---**
Okarin, there's a mysterious girl
who wants to talk to you!
**[23:12] ---**
Who is this?
**[23:13] ---**
Please come to the Radio Building's roof immediately!
**[23:16] ---**
Who are you?
**[23:17] ---**
I've come from the year 2036.
**[23:20] ---**
I'm Hashida Itaru's daughter, Amane Suzuha!
**[23:23] ---**
Suzuha?
**[23:25] ---**
Wait!
**[23:26] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[23:28] ---**
Please believe what I'm about to tell you.
**[23:31] ---**
You must stop World War III.
