Huh? It was Daru who hacked SERN indeed, and they were able to read some of the stuff there. But some of the emails or something were in code so the IBN was used for that.
Also it's rather obvious what happened to the IBN. I was always suspicious of Moeka, and I knew she would steal the IBN if she got a chance to do so. With that said, she lied to Okarin, didn't show the mail after writing it and sent the location to the past so Okarin never got it. Kurisu and others of course know about d-mail since it's the microwave doing the work, not the IBN. Though does this mean that now Kurisu and others, except Okarin, have no memory of the '' Human is Dead '' experiments? Anxious to see how the next episode starts, and will Okarin find out that the experiment was actually a success. If he does, how is he going to explain to the others that Ruka was a boy .. Even with time traveling and such, it seems rather far fetched to change the gender by eating vegetables. Speaking of which, if all they did was send numbers to a pager, how did Ruka's mum read it? How do those pagers even work?

I agree with tomtkp. If I remember correctly, (its almost a year since I finished the VN) the IBN5100 was used to decrypt a database different from the articles about Z-program and jellyman's report. It would be revealed later in the show, since it would be the key to solving Okarin's dilemma.
But then, Steins;gate do have some plot inconsistencies. I'd say we just have to enjoy the show and ignore these inconsistent points

Well, I think private massage is best place for those spoiler discussion.
If someone answer to those question, he must explain all of plots e.g. "attractor field theory" or something. don't rush. Last edited by Klashikari; 2011-05-25 at 11:54. Reason: no spoiler, event vague one. |

________________ Was any explanation given in the visual novel as to how they managed to send a message 17 years into the past? The timer was still set to 120 seconds in the anime, so it doesn't make sense. If it's an actual spoiler, don't answer.

Look at it this way, you've got viewers who came off Chaos Head going into Steins Gate, most I've seen were skeptical. For D-days, coming from the Nanoha creators was a driving factor of interest. We.... do know how this turned out, right? |

But them learning about all the jellyman reports is what really gave them the drive to continue on with the experiments. So it's really vital to the story line. Unless their just doing it for the hell of it now; but kurisu only stayed in the lab because of the knowledge of what Sern was doing and how mini black holes were used to travel back in time creating the jellypeople.

I don't know if someone's mentioned this before, but that whole "Diet affecting gender" isn't quite that far-fetched:
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/105013.php But still, it would be pretty amazing if just Ruka's gender was different. There's a lot of difference between an X and Y chromosome and it can affect a lot of other things aswell.

Edit : Rewatched episode 7 and indeed, 120 '' seconds '' equals to hours so it's five days. What Daru does with the PC is configure the Microwave indeed, but the only thing they told us about the configuration was that the newest version allows you to send messages to any phone you like. Surely they would have had Daru do some modifications and explain it so that 120 seconds equals to whatever the hours required for 17 years is. Besides it's the microwave doing the actual work so any second in the microwave is actually sending it through time .. Didn't Daru also talk about something about the microwave plate spinning in the opposite direction. (Maybe it has actually nothing to do with this but it would make sense since it's turning counter-clockwise .. back in time) On another note, I wonder how they even made the D-Mail because it was never explained .. How on earth does one construct something like that .. SERN deals with particles and complicated stuff like that, but a '' super hacker '' with '' Mad Scientist '' builds a time machine out of microwave and a computer? To post below : Then .. you're watching this anime because ... of trap? .. It's IBN5100 btw <.<

So...
Let's say i can't care less about John Titor, about Moeka and her stealing of IBM500 now... I just want to know if Ruka turned into a girl or not.... And what kind of misunderstanding will start from there

Well, as someone who has no prior exposure to the material it seems to me that if Ruka did indeed change genders, there are going to be serious consequences. Even Okarin hinted that he only went along with it because he figured it wouldn't work. We're not talking about a card game or $50 lotto ticket here - changing someone's gender is a very big deal. If indeed this did happen, I fear there will be some kind of grave butterfly effect - and that's not even considering my dismay at losing the best trap of the season.

I would remind you that spoiler, regardless how big, are simply forbidden.
I'm all good with points correcting mistakes from the anime, but any hint or indication is a big no no. We are on a very thin layer of ice there, so please do not push your luck.
