Steins;Gate

[🇯🇵] シュタインズ・ゲート

Synopsis:

Self-proclaimed mad scientist Okabe Rintarou lives in a small room in Akihabara, where he invents "future gadgets" with fellow lab members Shiina Mayuri, his air-headed childhood friend, and Hashida Itaru, an otaku hacker. The three pass the time by tinkering with their latest creation, a "Phone Microwave" that can be controlled through text messages.
The lab members soon face a string of mysterious incidents that lead to a game-changing discovery: the Phone Microwave can send emails to the past and thus alter history. Adapted from the critically acclaimed visual novel by 5pb. and Nitroplus, Steins;Gate takes Okabe to the depths of scientific theory and human despair as he faces the dire consequences of changing the past.

About Character and Role:

Steins;Gate Age: 19
Height: 164 cm
Weight: 98 kg
Birthday: May 19
Blood Type: B

First year student in Tokyo Denki University. Pro-active otaku, who's got a thing for both 2-D and 3-D girls. Talks quite a lot, and uses @ch (a spinoff of 2ch) terminology. Plenty of statements he makes could be taken as sexual harassment. He and Rintarou have known each other since high school. Usually turns down Rintarou's ridiculous requests as "annoying", but in truth gets them done in proper order. However, he trusts Rintarou as a friend. Has great confidence in his programming and hacking abilities (he doesn't mind being called a Super Hacker, but doesn't like it when people call him Super Haker). He's always in front of the computer. Has the nickname "Daru" (ダル), abbreviated after his name. It was later revealed in the series that he is Suzuha's father, pointed out by Mayuri. In the future of the Alpha world line, he and Okabe became the founders of the resistance against SERN's rule (in the side story "The Far Valhalla", it's revealed that SERN released them after their capture so that they could found the resistance, thus completing the cycle of fate). He met his wife, a cosplayer named Amane Yuki, in the Winter Comiket after returning from SERN's headquarter in France. After Okabe was killed in 2025, he continued with the research of the time machine and invented one in 2036. After that, he was assassinated. His time machine is what Suzuha used to travel to the past, but as it was incomplete (unlike the time machine Kurisu made in 2034), it couldn't be used to travel to the future. (Source: naomi.thewafflehouse.net) Robotics;Notes Like Nae as well as the other Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head characters, he now works for Sawada's secret organization. When it is revealed that Iru-o cannot be trusted as it was created by Kimijima, he creates a replacement, "DG297 3rd Edition ver.4.11". He also creates the virus which defeats Kimijima. He does not have any speaking roles, however, and is only mentioned in passing. As of 2019, he is already married and has a daughter. "DaSH" is read "Daru the Super Hacker", but he temporarily calls himself "DaSP" ("Daru the Super Programmer") in the final chapter.

Okabe Rintarou is the main protagonist of Steins;Gate. He is a first-year student attending Tokyo Denki University and calls himself a Crazy Mad Scientist. He acts like a villain but is rather immature as he frequently shows traits of Chunibyou (中二病） syndrome despite being a grown-up man. After enrolling in university, he went to Akihabara to open up a laboratory called the "Future Gadget Research Establishment", where he invents gadgets that are rather useless. He also talks to himself on the cellphone, his words not making much sense. Supposedly, he has very few friends that can understand what he's talking about.

Okabe often refers to himself as, "Hououin Kyouma" (鳳凰院凶真). However, Mayuri and Daru just call him "Okarin" (オカリン), abbreviated after his name.

The phrase he uses to end conversations, particularly with himself, is "El Psy Kongroo" (エル・プサイ・コングルゥ).

Steins;Gate:
Eventually, he falls in love with, and confesses to, Makise Kurisu.

Steins;Gate 0:
In the future of the Alpha world line, Okabe became the leader of the resistance against SERN's rule, and was known as an international terrorist (in the side story "The Distant Valhalla", it's revealed that SERN released Okabe and Daru so that they could found the resistance, thus completing the cycle of fate). Okabe got captured by SERN's Rounder unit in 2025 and was tortured to death.

Mayuri Shiina

🇯🇵 椎名まゆり

Character ID: 35253

About Character and Role:

Age: 16
Birthday: 1 Feb
Bloodtype: 0
Height: 151 cm
Weight: 45 kg
Size: 85-56-82

Second year in Kasensou Private Prepatory Academy. Childhood friend of Rintarou's, and slow by nature. Speaks in a very wavy manner, and seems to always be smiling and having fun. She's quite the optimist. She has trouble understanding complicated theories, but doesn't mind as long as it's enjoyable. Doesn't like people arguing, and is depressed when things are unpleasant. Though she'd like to ease the situation in such cases, she's not really good at reading between the lines. She often went with her grandmother to see the stars on her grandmother's back. Because of that, she has a habit of reaching her arm out to the sky at times, which has led Rintarou to naming it the "Stardust Shakehand". She abruptly does this (even if she's talking with someone), which surprises everyone around her. (Source: naomi.thewafflehouse.net) Major Spoilers She gets killed the first time by SERN rounders when they storm Okabe's lab because she wasn't deemed a necessary person in SERN's construction of the time machine. Despite Okabe's repeated attempts to save her in the alpha world line, Mayuri dies repeatedly either by accident (falling down the stairs, getting hit by a train, etc) or on purpose (throwing herself in front of an incoming car to save Okabe). This leads Okabe and Kurisu to conclude that her death is inevitable in the alpha world line and causes Okabe to undo the D-mail of the lab members to get back to their original world line to stop their past selves from ever hacking into SERN, and thus, preventing anything from happening.

Kurisu Makise

🇯🇵 牧瀬紅莉栖

Character ID: 34470

About Character and Role:

Age: 18
Birthday: 25 July
Blood Type: A
Zodiac: Leo
Height: 160 cm
Weight: 45 kg

The female protagonist. Kurisu is a research member in Victor Qondria University's Brain Research Program. Her age group matches that of third-year high schoolers, but she skipped a grade through America's educational system. She is also famous in America for writing theses papers, part of which is covered in the news. Thanks to skipping a grade in America as a girl, she was envied by people around her, and ended up building a strong personality. She does not want to show weakness to others, so she always has a stern expression. However, she is very curious, and when she builds interest, she pokes into things. Occasionally, she has views that differ from regular opinions, such as, "The experiment data is more important than the subject's privacy." Rintarou often tells her, "Hey, you've got a pretty good sense of being a Mad Scientist," but she is not one to agree to such things personally. She is a tsundere.

Rintarou has given her plenty of nicknames, in particular "Christina" (クリスティーナ) and "Assistant" (助手).

In the future of the Alpha world line where SERN rules, Makise worked for them. She made major contributions to the completion of SERN's time machine and was praised as "Mother of Time Machine." In the side story "The Far Valhalla," which explores Kurisu's, Okabe's, and Daru's fate after being captured by SERN, it's revealed that Okabe devised a plan to escape from SERN's headquarter in France, but as SERN learned that it would rule the world in the future, it let Okabe and Daru go in order to complete the cycle of fate. Kurisu gave up and stayed behind, but still believed that Okabe would be able to overcome fate. In 2034, she completed the time machine and was executed by SERN. Kurisu's allegiance with SERN in the future is the reason Suzuha, a member of the resistance against SERN's rule in 2036, is initially distrustful of her. However, Suzuha's opinion changes after she learns more about Kurisu's nature.

Kurisu and her father are not on the best terms. When she was little, her father's lectures would fascinate her so much that she would read up on them herself. It was not long before she started getting into the science field. Because of her talent, she would always outsmart her own father, causing the two to come to bad terms.

Kurisu develops feelings toward Okabe.
