So episode 23 managed to add yet another layer to Kurisu's character and has me thinking of her as something of a subversion of the child prodigy character type.

This time instead of just allowing a character to save the day all the time and always being a character trait that brings positive results it's instead the source of all her misery. It's what leads to her strained relationship with her father, which is one of her greatest regrets to the point where she wishes she'd never been born gifted. It's the indirect cause of WWIII via the paper she prints to try and smooth the relationship over with her father. And it's also the ultimate cause of her own inevitable demise in the Beta world line.

Poor Kurisu, she never asked for any of this.
