Well things continue to be rough going for Okabe. A painful reminder that yeah Kurisu remains dead. While it's difficult for him to be reminded of the layers of trauma he's sustained, it's probably better than dodging it.
Hiyajo can be tough at times, but partly because she knows how necessary it is. The worst thing that could be done is standing by and having Okabe continue to be deluded. It'd be so much easier sure for him to treat Amadeus as Kurisu. She'd be alive in a sense and he wouldn't have to be reminded that she's dead. And not only that she's dead but that if he was willing to dive back into hell he could try to change that.

It is easy to see how he can be deluded by Amadeus like that. The myspoon and myfork part. Or the part of how she'd reply if he called her Cristina. Amadeus is behaving exactly like Kurisu would do. The worst part for Okabe is that the more he engages with Amadeus like she is Kurisu, the more the events he experienced in the different world lines resurface.

Can't really blame Okabe for his delusion as Amadeus reacts just like Kurisu would. Being snapped back into reality like that is painful, but necessary as he needs to face the truth.The fact that he kept on hiding Amadeus from his friends is sort of an indication that he wanted to use Amadeus as a way to forget about Kurisu's death and knew that one of them would give him a wake up call. Hiyajo is being harsh, but it's tough love.

"Tuturu!" "Daga otoko da". Oh yeah, this is S;G all right
Pretty hard hitting episode overall with Okabe getting himself deeper and deeper into his interactions with Amadeus. The Suzuha bits though felt a bit weak. I was expecting a little bit more of the scene where she rushes in and grabs Yuki. Spoiler for Comparison with the VN:

And here I was beginning to think that Okabe was getting better, but the tension between him and Mayushii remains as thick as ever. That was such a difficult episode. Okabe revealing the whole "Christina" tease was just him being too awkward to say her first name was a real gut punch: a real sense of regret and what could have been was so palpable at that moment. Mayushii watching that must have ignited all sorts of complicated emotions. And then Okabe having to be reminded that the real Kurisu is dead was just the killing blow.
Okabe just can't get over Kurisu but he has no outlet for his grief. Mayushii faces an impenetrable barrier when it comes to Okabe and just can't reach out to him but how on earth is Okabe supposed to tell Mayushii that he gave up on the girl he truly loved and let her die and with his own hands on top of that, all for Mayushii's sake. This relationship is just doomed to failure with or without WW3. As far as I can see, the damage is irreparable (in this timeline).

Tbh I honestly doubt any serious court could feasibly convict him for murder. He neither had the intent to kill her nor did he directly attack her. In fact he attacked her original killer and she died as a result of saving said killer. In regards to Okabe her death was a really sad accident.

That was some good stuff, this episode really justified the existence of S;G Zero for me.
Normally, Okabe would probably be able to leave the tragedy behind and get over Kurisu. And if WW3 rolls around he'd just be another casualty among the masses. But the AI researchers are pushing him by keeping Kurisu's apparition alive. Suzu is constantly there to pull him towards the inevitable. And that's how the true mad scientist will come to be...

- In Alpha Worldline, he and Kurisu are "enemies". He is assassinated. - In Beta Worldline (S;G 0), he makes the plan to save Kurisu. We are watching the journey to that. |

I meant a bit more along the line that the discomfort they would start to feel watching him be so intimate with a program might start being immersion breaking for him and make it harder for him to turn away from the truth. It's honestly just I started to think might have been a possible path that they might take this.

I was actually trying hard to avoid that but at the same time respect the fact that it was his hands that lead to her death because regardless of intent, this fact has traumatised him big time. It's easy to tell yourself that it's nor your fault but emotions are far more complicated than that.

Do his friends actually know about Kurisu?
In this "storyline" he argued with her once in the lecture hall and then found her dead body. Right? If that's the case his friends shouldn't know about her at all. His sudden change must be really incomprehensible. Oh yeah, and it sounds like Faris knows what's going on? |
