Why does Suzuha disappear when travelling back to the "present"?

In the episode before the last one, why does Suzuha disappear when travelling back to the "present"? From what I've read, going back in a time machine always changes the world line, and in the world line where Okabe saves Kris the time machine no…

How does the Steins;Gate phone microwave work?

The operation of the phone microwave in Steins;Gate is confusing me. I finished episode 9, and I don't fully understand how it works; except that it allows texts to be sent in the past, 1 second on timer = 1 hour in reality, and that messages can…

Why is Suzuha’s last name not Hashida in the beta world line?

Is Makise Kurisu's thesis referred from a real thesis in real life?

In Steins;Gate, Kurisu Makise wrote a thesis about memory uploading. The circuit seems real enough to me that made me wonder if it's referred from a real thesis in real life. I would like to think that it's not, though. Is Makise Kurisu's thesis…

Why didn't Suzuha mention the destruction of Nakabachi's paper in Episode 23 (β)?

In the original Steins;Gate episode 23 (after the events of Steins;Gate 0), it is understandable that Suzuha didn't mention the destruction of Nakabachi's paper because she already knows that Okabe must fail the first attempt to save Kurisu. After…

Near the end of the Steins;Gate opening theme, why are only Okabe, Suzuha, and Luka looking to the right?

When I watched Steins;Gate for the first time, this part of the opening drew my attention: The placement and the facing directions of the characters here seemed too deliberate to be arbitrary, so I felt like there was some sort of symbolism that I…
