Steins;Gate: Open the Missing Link - Divide By Zero

Synopsis

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.
