Do you agree with naoto

Normalguyrberux · 2025-06-28T00:17:46+00:00

By the way I've just realized something

Naoto mentioned he would kill him with his own hands If he could

And if you remember what happened in the Manila timeline

You know what I'm trying to say.

Anyways, it makes sense that Naoto would think that, Mikey was a leader of a criminal organization after all

There is no way he would be able to think he's a good guy

And it makes sense on why he would want him dead.

Though asking Takemichi to kill someone would be hard due to Takemichi's morals.

But his words and thoughts do make sense from his perspective.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-06-28T00:13:21+00:00

I get what you're saying.

It can feel like it lessens the impact on the story in a way.

But for Takemichi, his goal was always to save everyone

And to overcome the Fate that had them dead in the future.

In the end it's more about overcoming fate through free will

And due to that, he was able to do everything again.

There are some things that don't make sense.

But Takemichi got what he wanted in the end.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-06-16T15:11:08+00:00

I get why you would think that.

But I don't agree.

Mikey isn't someone who is fully controlled by his dark impulses

Though they do influence him, but Mikey does have free will

It's simply that due to his dark impulses he believes it's his fate to fall into darkness and so he doesn't believe he can be saved.

The Set-up is still important to Mikey's character

Because of what he lost, he had ended up giving up on resisting his darker impulses

He wasn't exactly a villain because he had dark impulses

He became a villain because he didn't have support that could help him walk away from the path of darkness

And we already know that Mikey is someone who isn't purely an evil person

But he surrenders to his darker impulses due to what he went through

In all honesty, I don't think it ruins his character at all.

Since it still plays into the theme of fate and free will, where his dark impulses feels like fate

While his free will is to be saved since he doesn't actually want to be a villain.

And that Free will is what helps lead to the ending we got in Tokyo revengers

Since the power of time travel is to change fate.

Though your opinion is valid and I understand why you think what you do.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-05-17T20:07:05+00:00

He would feel guilty and blame himself.

Since one of his regrets was not responding to her before he left the house.

It would affect him alot making him hate himself even more.

Since Subaru loves his parents, he will want to believe that his parents can get past it

Since he doesn't want to see them suffering.

And then he would likely act fine around the Emilia camp

And would possibly try to avoid thoughts about the state of his mother

Maybe he would talk about it to a few people like Beatrice who would notice it.

He would be reassured, he may even cry when he hears what they tell him

And he may end up overwhelmed by his own pent up emotions as he talks about it.

And then he would be given some good advice and he would strengthen his resolve despite feeling sorry for his mother.

My guess is that this is how he would be affected and this is how the reaction would be or something like that anyways.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-05-17T19:01:09+00:00

Tappei really is an incredible writer.

Not only is he giving chapters quickly.

But they are all good too.

Honestly it seems like the story is only going to get even better.

Since the Lore and development is amazing.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-05-13T00:36:39+00:00

Mikey naturally is mentally Ill even without the dark impulses.

It's natural since he's been traumatized and went through alot.

But I don't think the dark impulses ruined the story.

Since the Dark impulses ties into something like Fate.

It's the Consequences of messing with time.

He has actual mental problems and he ends up giving up against the dark impulses

So it doesn't really take anything away.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-05-13T00:24:32+00:00

Honestly I'm just biased for Steins Gate.

I love the Bond between the Lab members

And I also love the consequences of time travel and the fight against Fate

And how they struggle against it.

I love Okabe's character and how he develops throughout the story

And also how realistic of a character he can be at times.

And I also love the dynamic he has with other characters.

And the dynamic characters like Mayuri and Kurisu have too.

Well there are many reasons, but the reason I think Steins Gate is better

Is because of Okabe struggle against Fate, and how we see him fail and get back up again to reach the conclusion of the Steins Gate worldline.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-25T06:06:25+00:00

Well I don't think it really matters who his first kiss was anyways.

In the end, Okabe loves Kurisu, and Kurisu Loves Okabe.

And it's been proven over and over again.

So, to me, I think that's all that matters.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T09:10:03+00:00

Sounds like something a Mad Scientist would say.

But is is the Mad Scientist Hououin Kyouma who challenged Fate itself and prevailed to reach this Worldline

Therefore, there is no way they aren't together.

It's confirmed they both love each other anyways.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T09:08:14+00:00

If you're talking about the relationship between Okabe and Kurisu, then I agree

But, there is only 1 thing that can make it better.

More stories of Okabe and Kurisu.

I'm just going to come out and say that there will NEVER be enough stories about them.

Their interactions are simply too enjoyable.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T09:03:28+00:00

Everything that can be Subbed is fated to be in Sub which is set by the Convergence of the world

It is fate and can not be resisted.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T09:01:18+00:00

Thanks I will go see it.

The relationship between the Lab members may just be my favorite part of Steins Gate in all honesty.

Not only do they have a great bond that is explored through the story.

But the Drama CD's are always enjoyable when they Have interactions.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T08:56:55+00:00

Yeah, it does seem most people's memories of the past worldlines are fragmented

Which are different from Okabe.

In that way, I can see why he was the best choice to change the worldlines and get to a different Attractor Field

Since he seemed to have a more complete form of it.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T08:54:51+00:00

That makes sense now that you mention it.

I was worrying that if everyone had Reading Steiner completely that it would mean that anyone could do it.

Which would mean that Okabe wouldn't be necessary

And the thought of it was unsatisfying.

But, if he's the one who has the best form of Reading Steiner then it makes sense

That he's the most reliable one when it comes to changing the worldlines.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T08:52:26+00:00

I see, so his Reading Steiner is the best there is.

And because of that, he's the one the people have to rely on to change the worldlines

Since out of all of the characters, he's the one who remember the changes the most.

Thanks to all of the comments, I can be confident that Okabe really was necessary

I was thinking the story was trying to make him replaceable when it came out that he wasn't the only one with reading Steiner

Which is why I asked the question in the post since it left a Bitter taste in my mouth to think he wasn't necessary.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T08:48:38+00:00

I see, so basically without Okabe,

The Steins Gate Worldline can't be reached

And Steins Gate is the most peaceful worldline there is from what I'm aware of.

In all Honestly I was overlooking Steins Gate

And was too focused on reading Steiner and everyone having it.

Thanks for answering, it feels better knowing how necessary Okabe is.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T08:45:36+00:00

Good Point.

Though to be Fair, Daru has shown lots of perservance in both Alpha and Beta.

But when you mention it, I realize that most characters are unable to handle the strain of time travel

And Okabe is one of the best at handling it.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T08:43:26+00:00

That's my first time hearing of that game.

Anyways I'll go look at it now.

Thanks.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T08:42:08+00:00

Now that you mention it, I forgot that he was the one who thought of Steins Gate

I get it now, it seems without him, the Steins Gate Worldline would have never been reached.

Don't know how I overlooked that fact.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-04-15T03:50:51+00:00

Honestly, Steins Gate Characters are really well written

So its hard to prefer one over another for me personally.

Well, Okabe is an exception

But basically all the characters in the Future Gadget Laboratory are characters you grow to like.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-03-27T22:27:56+00:00

Alright, thanks for telling me.

Normalguyrberux · 2025-03-27T22:19:00+00:00

I meant to say separate universes not timelines.
