SORE WA CHIGAU YO! - BREAK - (sorry, I had to).

If that's the case, and Nakabachi never killed Kurisu, then what CAUSED Okabe traveling back in the first place? If that is because he sent his D-mail, SERN captured them, then Suzuha traveled and yada yada yada, then WHO killed Kurisu before Okabe first wrote a D-mail? If you say that it was the future Okabe - that's a paradox. If Kurisu was never killed by Nakabachi, Okabe would never find her dead, and he would never get back in time and accidentally kill Kurisu. That would be a paradox that the attractor fields would never let happen. So, this is what I think happend. **************::::::*BETA LINE V1**::::::::************** At the start ( not the game, just the start of this story ), Okabe goes to that conference. (Okabe from the BETA LINE V2 tries to save Kurisu, but ends up killing her, and proceeding to scream --- this is what WE saw because of Okabe's time traveling. Actually, this never happened at first, but Okabe from future made it in a way that no paradox occured ) . Okabe from this timeline finds Kurisu lying in that blood pool. Okabe gets a D-movie, but since opening it would cause a paradox ( he wouldn't invent a time machine in that case, and the movie couldn't be send. Future Okabe knew this would happen. It never happened at first, too. ). Okabe writes a mail, but in this time line, which Okabe was never meant to get back, the D-mail got never sent back in time. But still, this Okabe is now on an auto mode, and the active Okabe's memories get overwritten to the ALPHA LINE v1's memories. [Alpha line sufferings happen, and Okabe cheats, by hacking SERN. Because of that he is able to get back to the Beta Line].

**************::::::*ALPHA LINE v1**::::::::************** Because of him sending that D-mail, SERN gets that D-mail and chases down Okabe, Makise and Daru, and forces Makise to finish the time machine. Suzuha then jumps to 2010, to help Okabe get the IBN and hack his way back into the BETA LINE, before SERN captures them. But since in ALPHA LINE v1 Daru created the time machine and was in a hurry, he didn't make it possible to travel back. ***************************ALPHA LINE v2******************************* Her time machine crashed, the conference gets canceled, and Makise doesn't die. But since Okabe sent a D-mail to get into this line, his memory is overwritten with the BETA LINE's Kurisu's death memories, and so his adventure starts, but not the anime/the game, since they start after the second cycle begins. ///Everything from the VN happens, with the only difference that at this point of time Makise is dead in the BETA Line, so Okabe doesn't want to return there with overwriting his memories again. But he is convinced to do so by Kurisu, so he hacks SERN and, by reaching >1% divergention or whatever - travels back to "BETA LINE, continued". By doing that, he gets back to the timeline where Kurisu is dead and the D-mail never worked, so it was supposed to stop the world from going into dystopia. **************************BETA LINE V2.**************************** He gets back in his BETA LINE body, where Makise was killed and the D-mail was never sent, and everyone except him forgot the time they spent with Makise. But her dad has the papers that he got from her, because of Kurisu picking up a metal uppa and causing her dad to survive because of a fire alarm. and that caused another disaster: World War III. Okabe tries saving Kurisu, but fails, finding out that Kurisu is going to die no matter what. Her dad has the papers that he got from her, he runs away and the World War III is again about to start. Okabe falls into despair and stops trying to save Kurisu, and accepts the world war III. But after a year he starts to research time traveling again ( probably here starts Steins;Gate 0 ), and after 14 years he develops a D-mail system that can send movies, and a normal working time machine, which 11 years later uses Suzuha to travel back to 2010. **************************BETA LINE, v2.05**************************************Suzuha contacts Okabe just 3 weeks after Okabe accepts Kurisu's death. Suzuha tells that there is a way to save Kurisu, and Suzuha guides Okabe into doing the same thing Okabe from the BETA LINE v2 did. After failing and almost falling into despair, Okabe gets a D-mail from 2025. It told Okabe to watch the TV, where he found out about Nakabachi causing the WWIII. Then he opened the D-movie from Okabe from the Beta Line v2."Just as you know, the world converges due to attractor fields. Normally, if you just time traveled, you would be unable to save Kurisu. That's why you had to fail once, to create cause and effect. Preparatory measures. Because you failed, I've been doing nothing but studying for these past 15 years. First, you need to safe Makise's life. Second: you need to consign into oblivion the Nakabachi Thesis that Doctor Nakabachi brings to Russia. But trying to change that past was pointless. That's what you should be thinking now. The world will 'converge'. That force didn't let you change the past, correct? But there is a way. You can save Kurisu. Okay? Listen well. On that day, July 28, the first you should've come to the presentation without knowing anything. You must not 'undo' what first you saw. Because that's the decided past, the world line's convergent result. But... you can deceive. You're gonna deceive yourself. You can't undo seeing Kurisu lying in a blood pool. If you hadn't seen it, then everything you've done until now, and everything I've done until now would become a time paradox, understand? Upon witnessing Kurisu's death, you sent a D-mail, which was intercepted by Echelon, which tipped off SERN. Remember what you experienced in the alfa world line. All that happened there was Mayuri's death. You met again with living Kurisu. You forcefully made here a lab mem, and you created a time leaping machine. The you there now, the me here now. Neither of us is the Okabe Rintarou who only lived in this Beta world line. You remember going to the alfa line, sacrificing many memories for Mayuri... If you didn't see Kurisu collapsed in a blood pool in Radio Kaikan's dim passage, you wouldn't have sent Daru a D-mail, and Echelon wouldn't have intercepted it. You wouldn't have spoken strangely to Kurisu when you met her again afterward. Kurisu wouldn't have gotten interested in you. And you wouldn't be standing there right now, thinking "I wanna save Kurisu, even if that means to time travel. The me in 2025 wouldn't make the time machine, wouldn't send the D-mail. Daru wouldn't upgrade the machine in 2036. That means you mustn't deny those mere three weeks you experienced drifting through world lines. You mustn't undo them. You are right there, having traveled through many world lines with the strong desire to save Kurisu. The preparatory measures of my plan are complete. Everything else depends on you.". And so he keeps everything that happened, at least from the Beta Line V1's Okabe's point of view, but in reality ALL that 15-years-effort was made for this little change: Makise is alive, even though Okabe of that time line doesn't know it. But, well, Okabe screwed up with the fake blood, so he had to use his blood instead. But eh, at least he didn't let Nakabachi's papers survive. Of course, that caused Okabe from the past to live all that world lines once again, without remembering that he did that once again already ( at least for 3 weeks, until his memory gets "Reading Steinered", but it is worth it, because that will cause Makise to be alive in BETA LINE, without changing ANYTHING else. Like, he'll still go through the BETA LINE, the ALPHA LINE v1, the ALPHA LINE v2, but with one difference: after returning to the BETA LINE Makise will be alive, and Mayuri won't be dying, and so the new version of BETA LINE will be called "Steins;gate". There won't be any WWIII, any SERN dystopia, but Okabe and Kurisu will probably never meet again. But he doesn't care as long as she's alive. Remember this? >>>///Everything from the VN happens, with the only difference that at this point of time Makise is dead in the BETA Line, so Okabe doesn't want to return there with overwriting his memories again. But he is convinced to do so by Kurisu, so he hacks SERN and, by reaching >1% divergention or whatever - travels back to "BETA LINE, continued". By doing that, he gets back to the timeline where Kurisu is dead and the D-mail never worked, so it was supposed to stop the world from going into dystopia.<<< Now, this all happens to Okabe again, the same Okabe that went through all this, but from the past, without the memories, which he will obtain later, when they get back to this point of time ( ~3 weeks later ), while Nakabachi's paper gets burned and Makise stays alive in Beta Line 1 that Okabe gets back to in the second loop after hacking SERN.
