How was Future Okabe sure that Kurisu's death wasn't a convergence point that would inevitably happen?


We saw in the VN that when Okabe tried to completely isolate Mayuri from
danger, she would simply die of a heart attack. So why was future Okabe so
sure that it was possible to save Kurisu? Her death could very well have been
a convergence point like in Mayuri's case.

The answer is not that simple, but here it is in a nutshell:

> In the story of 0, Okabe somehow finds himself in 2036. But, as we know, in
> the Beta attractor field, he was supposed to die in 2025 no matter what. So,
> him being in 2036 shouldn't be possible at all. However, after being
> endlessly tortured by a certain someone, he essentially became brain dead.
> Later, Daru got hold of Okabe's body, which was still functioning. Without
> letting anyone find out, Daru and a few other labmems maintained Okabe's
> body in a hidden facility all the way to the point where they could find
> Okabe's digitized memories that were saved before. The memories were found
> in 2036 and loaded back into Okabe's body. Okabe was able to walk the (very
> much destroyed) earth in 2036. He was alive.

So, THE WORLD WAS DECEIVED. And this is why Okabe knew Kurisu could be saved:

> he himself was alive when he was destined to die years before.

That meant that there was a way to save Kurisu, too. Daru deceived the world,
so Okabe decided that he will deceive the world, too.
