Oh, this episode was excellent. With each episode, I swear that I become more and more appreciative of Daru. Because Daru calling Okabe on his hypocresy now wanting the time machine ready to be used after being mad at them, and yelling at them, for even building it was necessary. It's so interesting to get that Okabe, for all that he understood that Suzuha came from the future, couldn't fully wrap his head around the idea that WWIII was actually going to happen and it was something that he needed to help prevent. It makes so much sense that something that huge felt unreal even if he trusted the source of the info; and seeing how that slight detachment colored his own reactions to everything going on, alongside his trauma and grief of course, makes everything more interesting I think. And it makes so much sense, doesn't it? I've recenytly being making peace with some very big life changing realities (accepting my dad has Alzheimer's), things that I've known for a long time but couldn't bring myself to fully accept and believe they were happening until very recently and, yeah, there's just that sense of detachment and unreality to that sort of knowledge until it sort of slaps you in the face. Maho is truly the best. I appreciate how she is always the more level-headed one and is always breaking the tension between Okabe and Daru. You're so right, Okabe saying that he will not give up and will do whatever it takes, travel back in time the number of times he needs to, to save Mayurii, Suzuha, and Kagari feels different now than it did in the original Steins;Gate, and I think another element of that is that this time around he is saying it with understanding of what it actually means, of how it feels to have to walk down this path. In the original he was desperate, and he wanted oh so badly to save Mayuri, so he wanted to do whatever it took to save her, but he didn't know what that actually would entail, he didn't know of the mental toll of seeing her die time and time again, of having to make hard decisions and live with the consequences of them; now he does, now he has lived through it all and can actually chose to do this fully understanding what he is embarking on. I appreciate that. Considering they ended up actually having to use the Time Microwave, I do appreciate that at the very least it seems like things won't go the same route that they did in the original, and thus things won't feel repetitive, which is what I was afraid about when they started bringing the Time Microwave back. I find it hilarious that Okabe send Mayuri of with such determination, exclaming that she needs to go an accomplish Operation Archlight, I mean, considering that the mission is literally to go back in time to make sure that Mayuri can slap, literally and figuratively, sense into Okabe. It's hilarius that he is so happy that she will go slap him on the cheek, is all xD

What a wild episode, right?! And YES, I am appreciating Daru more and more each week as well! Okabe NEEDED that from him this week! Yeah, I think that he was so caught up in the trauma of losing Kurisu, that he couldn’t see beyond that. I’m sorry to hear your dad has Alzheimer’s and I cannot imagine what all is involved – but yeah, the detachment from reality hit Okarin really hard this episode as well and is understandable and relatable! I love Maho so much; she has such a great way to diffuse when things get too crazy! But yes, Okarin is if anything PERSISTENT and doesn’t give up. And it comes back full force this episode – I appreciate that this version, as well, is handling things differently than Steins;Gate OG! Honestly, with how we know the OG series ends up, I’m glad he’s happy that someone can go slap some sense into him – ahh, that moment was so cathartic! Thank you for the comment!
