There is one major exception though. How accessing CERN's database and erasing all traces of the first D-mail that was accidentally sent somehow changed the timeline without the use of any time leap or D-mail on Okabe's part.

in the visual novel, if the player chooses not to help Suzuha and fix her time machine, Okabe willingly put himself in a time loop, where he spend the rest of Mayury's life hanging out with everyone and having fun, going cycling, going to the anime convention, and then after Mayury dies he does that again. and again. and again. and after a while he starts having weird thoughts. what if i wouldn't worn Daru of that car and just let him get run over? he'll die, but then everything will go back to normal anyway. I could be a jerk to everyone. i could have my way with Mayuri, and there would be no repercussion. and slowly he start loosing it. he no longer remembers why he goes through the loop, and he get stuck there. until Suzuha approaches him one time. She says his expression is empty, and she concludes he's been time leaping. in order to help him she decides to take him with her using the time machine. Next time Okabe time leap, they don't go to the convention or to have fun, but fix the time machine, and in the end, he goes with Suzuha. I hope I didn't misremembered anything. I felt this was relevant to the video.

I have to give you utmost commendation for this video, Mr. Derrat. I am a philosophy major in college, as well of a fan of Heidegger’s work, and I must admit that I was rather shocked to see a video on a popular anime even dare to MENTION a philosopher as intimidating and abstruse as Heidegger. I think videos like this are incredibly valuable, not only because of their entertainment value as individual works, but because they allow an entry point for people into more intimidating intellectual subjects, which are usually rendered completely alien to average people. I know that some people believe that complex philosophy shouldn’t be attached to mere popular media, as they’re afraid of “diluting” the works and their messages, but I believe that doing so is excellent for getting more people interested. A fantastic work to be sure, and I can’t wait to see what else you’ll make!

Not even that much in the visual novel. A huge chunk of the early story is basically physics lectures as they're trying to figure things out. I actually looked up a lot of the concepts presentet there and it is very close to reality

I started this video, and remembered that I never finished Steins;Gate, paused the video, watched all episodes, went back and watched the video 10/10

When I have to look up what the word Heideggerian means you know it's going to be a good video. Also "Time Haunted" is pretty metal sounding.

Its not his consciousness that gets sent back in time, its his memories and only that, as Kurisu says in the manga: "The point to understand is that only memories are sent back. Not a person's personality or consciousness."

well I think in the world of S;G memories do affect personality so in a way, you could say that personality is also sent back with your memories. we have been seeing the story from Okabe's perspective but let's talk about it from a different perspective. in a beta world-line where Okabe didn't send the d-mail about Kurisu to Daru, he continued living his life normally and non-chalantly like he was at the beginning, then suddenly on the 17th he looked in so much pain that he was about to cry, Mayuri comforted him and after that decided to seal away HK and destroy the phonewave, a clear contrast from how he was before he RSed into the beta world-line. then the events of SG0 anime happens where Okabe becomes a somewhat different person. he's more grown up and responsible but also self-centered and kind of an asshole. his older self was arrogant, non-chalant but also very kind and understanding. so in a way, his memories greatly affected his personality. There are other examples but I'm trying to avoid spoilers as much as I can.

They did their best to make a whole new continuity for the anime and make the already non-linear narrative a bit more understandable for viewers. I rewatched 0 a few days ago and realised that the anime is peak too once you have context from the VN. (I also just adore Messenger )

"Nature abhors a vacuum, time abhors a rerun." If you missed the movie, make sure to watch it. Steins Gate has withstood the test of time and aged VERY well, compared to other top anime. It has always been my number 1, and I don't see it aging out of relevancy. Also, it has one of the truest good English dubs. These day I lament almost all English dubs, but this one was best in class for sure.

2:55 The point about the "ridiculous method" in Steins;Gate is that, in fact, any representation of time travel device is ridiculous in concept, whether is a car, a man-built machine, or a bathtub. Steins;Gate did not waste time explaining that so it could focus on the important aspects of the history, characters, and plot from the start. The impact we have when the first time travel happens is incredible because you spend a lot of time with the characters in the Alpha timeline before even realizing it. So a microwave and a cell phone would do as a device to make the jumps between Alpha, Steins, and Beta. A microwave with a cell phone it is not more ridiculous than a car running at 88 miles per hour. El Psy Congroo.

So many years after watching this anime, I'm still extremely excited when I see anything pop up on it on youtube. Thanks for giving it some time in the spotlight!

Literally just finished this VN so correction at 12:00: SERN's Rounders don't want to kill Okabe, Daru, and Kurisu, but to enslave them to finish SERN's time machine. They deem Mayuri as expendable, hence exposing the point of 'convergence' in each of the divergences. EDIT: Steins;Gate invites me to read the other Science Adventure series.

I was reminded of Minute Physics, who made a video on different ways pieces of fiction represent time travel, it reveals more subtle differences in the way time flows in them. "Time Travel in Fiction Rundown" it is called, I think it's a nice complement to anyone interested in fictional time travel.

As a Dutchman, speaking a language similar to German, I think I'd translate dasein as presence. But there is an intrinsic sense of meaning to this word that's almost impossible to translate. One could say that when Okabe says Mayuri's death no longer affects him, he's checked out, he's no longer mentally present. He's lost his dasein/presence. But I'm by no means knowledgeable about Heidegger, so I'm not promising this is what he meant. But yeah, very difficult to translate dasein. It means something like "there being", but the fact that it is one word also conveys meaning. And English just doesn't do that.

@Creep187SAas

Hi, "presence" is actually pretty acurate. "dasein" spelled lower case actually means "to be there", "Dasein" spelled uppercase could be translated as "existence" or even "being".

@@Creep187SAas "presence of self, presence in time, presence in the world"... hmm... would then "mindfulness" be used in a different way to translate the word? synonyms exist so a word having more than one meaning is perfectly plausible if that helps ocnveying its meaning.

Steins;Gate is a masterpiece. Fascinating perspective from Martin Heidegger. I learned about the concept of dasein from this video. Rintaro Okabe's time traveling dream turns into his ultimate nightmare when he unknowingly drags his friends and loved ones into SERN's machinations. Rintaro's road to save Mayuri from her death at the hands of SERN and fate is noble and not only for love, but to save an innocent because he was the ultimate cause of her death. Rintaro destroys himself by going back in time over and over to save Mayuri, who appears cursed to die. He makes some progress. Eventually, fate hands Rintaro a cruel choice between saving Mayuri or Kurisu. Which loved one deserves to live? Rintaro chooses the third way to suffer, to save everyone, and to overthrow fate. Rintaro imposed his will upon SERN, his world, and the world line. He had great friends to support him. He won at any personal cost. A superman. Or maybe, Rintaro became an ubermensch. Screw SERN. Spend billions on a collider and other fancy equipment. Imagine the look on their faces when some random people in Japan discovered time travel with a PC, flip phone, and microwave. They got spies everywhere. The elites killed Rintaro and Kurisu's dream of time travel. Sometimes, it makes you wonder who might be a spy or an assassin that will end your life when you step out of line. Your landlord? Your neighbor? Your coworker? Could be anyone.

hey you posted this on the day heidegger died

Informative as always.

I like to imagine to myself that Chiyomaru Shikura and Ryukishi07 are drinking buddies. Their stories explore very similar themes, and the music division of Shikura's company, MAGES. Inc, has created many songs for 07th Expansion over the years, with Shikura writing many of the songs himself. One gets the impression that there may be more than just a platonic business relationship between these two. Maybe something like a shared vision. Higurashi has a very similar struggle against fate as a central theme. Though it isn't so obvious from the beginning, it does become intensely compelling when the pieces start to come together. It's also much more psychologically focused compared to Steins;Gate. The first Science Adventure story, Chaos;Head, is much more psychological too, though its anime adaptation should be avoided. Steins;Gate is the one and only Science Adventure anime to have a good reputation, though of course the source material is always best. You may know Ryukishi as the guy who's writing the story for Silent Hill F. I wonder how that's going to turn out? There's already a ton of Higurashi and Steins;Gate fan content and analysis out there, which is great. But I think Chaos;Head really deserves more attention, especially since Steins;Gate wouldn't exist without it. When one of the earliest tooltips you get in the VN referenced Freud and Jung, I knew I was in for something special.

excellent video max! which steins gate is recommended to start with?

From what i've seen, Time Travel as a real concept is impossible. Science Fiction and Fantasy all have different perspectives of how Time Travel works, and the characters of those shows, games, books, movies, comics, etc have learned their closed reality's rules. We, in real life, have yet to find out what those rules might be, and there is a high chance that every written work we've ever created involving it, may not align with our real reality's rules. One bit that many don't consider in terms of real, is what if one of those rules outright forbids us from messing with time? And an even tougher one to consider, swallow, and accept, what if our idea of Time itself is completely wrong? As for Determinism vs Free Will, I don't believe in either being "one or the other", I believe they work together. Our past is Determined, there's no disputing that cause we know what happened and cannot change it no matter how much we want to. Our Future however is not Determined, cause we shape that future, whether we are willing to admit it or not. And sure, when coupled together with Cause & Effect, many doubt that Free Will exists. But here's the thing, if you were able to see or calculate with 100% accuracy what you will do and what it will lead to, you CAN then manipulate Cause & Effect, change the outcomes to your liking. Determinists tried to prove that Determinism is true by making a machine that can accurately predict what a person will do. However it fell into a loop when the person decided to do the opposite of what the machine predicted, and when the machine was forced to consider that, it got stuck on just that one thing, and it ultimately had no clue in the end. All it really did prove is that the opposite is true. Our past is already known, you can't do anything to change it. Our future however is not known cause it hasn't happened yet, and if we do know, you cannot deny that we all would try to change the outcomes, but we won't know the outcome till we see it happen. And once it does happen, its too late to change it for the better or worse. Suggest not delving too deeply into the possibilities, or the possibilities we haven't considered. You'll lose yourself in an ocean of uncertainties that you cannot prove true or false.

Max Derrant forgot dragon ball z had the most accurate time travel with multi-rivers.

Really unexpected twist on a steins ; gate analysis nice Nice el psy congroo

Best time travel story ever

I think one of my favorite aspects yet very horrifying. when thinking about time travel and its influence. Throughout the original series. When Okabe has to make all the changes to achieve the "perfect" timeline. He has to deal with the psychological trauma alone. When watching the ending movie. It delves into the aspect of trauma from going against fate and its struggles. He is a broken soul of a person that has PTSD by the end of the journey.

I enjoyed this. My only complaint is that the video isn't three times as long.

For further time travel stories I highly recommend the show Dark. No show, not even Steins;Gate (as much as I love it), even comes close to the level of depth in which this show explores the concepts of time travel (in particular time loops).

18:50 Absolutely. I have the most absurd dreams only to enact the situations later in life, deja vu twice over. The moment I'm aware that I'm in the situation that I've never experienced before but have experienced before, I do everything I can (short of a crime) in order to change the situation. Sometimes it works, sometimes I become aware that this is what I did in the dream, but the will to fight is there. I might be crazy.

YESSSSS ITS OUT!! Jesus, this ones gonna be good!

I wonder if Godzilla Singular Point would be a suitable video for max to make? I enjoyed it and would like to hear his analysis on it, but i wonder if it qualifies for one.

You should definitely play the Visual Novel the anime is based on, it goes more deeply into the story and has branching endings depending on your choices. There is also another game called Steins:Gate Zero which deals with Future Okabe.

Oh, Heidegger: the ultimate "problematic" philosopher.

Primer is a good one also. Different take on time travel but very compelling.

DO MADOKA MAGICA NEXT PLSSSS

As someone with only cursory knowledge of the German existentialist movement & even less so with the mechanics of time travel, thank you for this editorial. It’s definitely put the show in a much richer context for me, & will likely spur a rewatch in the near future. I’m not usually one for offering recommendations in unrelated youtube videos, but if you’re still looking for a manga that deals heavily in existential themes, I’d definitely recommend Land of the Lustrous. It’s a post-human tale that only deals with sci-fi elements in a hazy, almost mythic sense, so if you real want deep lore & mechanics, there are better options out there. Instead, it’s a story about the ways people struggle to connect while undergoing through life’s changes, loosely framed around the Buddhist concept of the bodhisattva. If that sounds a bit heavy, I generally summarize the story as “What if the Ship of Theseus was a person?” Yeah, it goes places. The manga's just finished, while there’s an excellent anime adaptation of the first 30-40% of the story. No idea if more will be made. Mostly I just want more intelligent people checking out & discussing it, because I feel it’s pretty rich in terms of generating conversation.

wow i love the applying philosophy in to the science adventure series. can you do one for every VN in the series 🥺🥺🥺

Hm the ending of stein gates ha similarities with souls reaver 2: Kain There’s a third option - a monumental secret, hidden in your very presence here. But it’s a secret you have to discover for yourself. Unearth your destiny, Raziel. It’s all laid out for you here. Raziel You said it yourself, Kain - there are only two sides to your coin. Kain Apparently so. But suppose you throw a coin enough times... ...suppose one day, it lands on its edge.

now this is a substance video

The visual novel is even more fleshed out in its time travel theory

16:55 so, Tom Cruise's movie The Edge of Tomorrow fits on this

Was reccomended this anime by someone, right before they self_deleted. She left quite the hole in my existence, and every crumb she left behind of herself, endlessly maddening. The anime helped, still hurt like hell.

The anime ending and the True Ending of the VN(it has six different ones) are essentially identical by the way.

the fact that the timelines outside of the steins;gate timeline all have fate being interupted by people and organizations with the power to change fate makes the only timeline where okabe should accept fate be the steins;gate timeline as that is the only truly authentic timeline. as soon as okabe becomes aware of the ability to influence the timeline, the choice to not try to reach the timeline where that option no longer exists is an active rebellion against dasein. (IMO)
