シュタインズ・ゲート ゼロ
Synopsis
Continues the story of Steins;Gate: Open the Missing Link - Divide By Zero
Rintarou Okabe reaches his breaking point emotionally and tells time traveler Suzuha Amane he can no longer assist her in preventing World War III, believing any more attempts to save Makise Kurisu are pointless. Following this, Okabe abandons his mad scientist persona and becomes a regular university student. His close friend Mayuri Shiina notices what seems like an improvement in his mental state and feels relieved. However, a lingering problem continues to bother Okabe. "Steins;Gate: Kyoukaimenjou no Missing Link - Divide By Zero" presents a key divergence—a timeline where the weight of fate exceeds what one can endure.
In this installment
Rintarou Okabe, the self-proclaimed mad scientist notorious for his eccentricity, has fallen into profound despair after failing to save Makise Kurisu. Now depressed and withdrawn, he abandons his scientific pursuits to live as an ordinary college student, attempting to flee the haunting memories of his time-traveling adventures, which remain a secret to everyone around him. While working as a receptionist at a technology conference, Okabe meets Maho Hiyajo, an energetic young woman who later provides translation for a lecture by Professor Alexis Leskinen. During the event, Alexis and Maho introduce Amadeus, an advanced artificial intelligence capable of replicating a person's memories, personality, and behaviors with extraordinary precision. Following the lecture, Okabe learns that Maho and Alexis were former classmates of Kurisu and have created a digital recreation of her. Tasked by Alexis with observing the AI's actions, Okabe is given the chance to interact with a digital version of his deceased friend. Caught in a dangerous confrontation with his past, Okabe must face painful truths and navigate the consequences of interfering with the natural flow of events.
