So I watched the Steins;Gate movie and got a bit confused in the end.

  1. Who is that Kurisu wearing the clothes of a 13-year-old girl sitting next to 13-year-old Okabe in the past?
  2. When she traveled back and met Okabe at the end, did the world line change to one other than Steins;Gate?
  3. So Okabe remembered Kurisu giving him his first kiss. Did his memories change to engrave that event, or is this just a made-up fact from the writer?

Questions about the time-travel scene in the Steins;Gate movie


I will answer these out of order sorry.

2- There is no real answer to this but I will tell you how I interpreted it. I
believe that both the Alpha and Steins gate world lines are actually conneted
before Okabe's fist encounter with Kurisu. Once he interacts with her in the
anime it creates the Alpha world line and then when he sets the steins gate I
believe that it is bassaly a fork in the road. Let me explain a little. In the
anime when Okabe kisses Kurisu he talks about how it will not be stored in his
hippocampus because it is not his first kiss. I interpret this as he remembers
his first kiss with Kurisu but does not know that it was actually her. So in
both the Alpha line and Steins gate he remembered the kiss but in steins gate
he remembered that it was her so that is what tied him to the Steins gate
line.

3- I dabbled on this in number 2 but I will explain a little farther. In both
lines he remembers having a first kiss before going to get Mayuri, but the
difference being that in the Steins gate line he remembers the significance of
that encounter. In the Alpha line he most likely just remembers a kiss but
nothing else. The difference is that in the Steins gate line he remembers who
gave it to him and the story that Kurisu gave him about his future self. This
is most likely what grounded him to the steins gate line.

Last but not lease 1- This is kind of a blurry spot. I'm not actually sure if
in that time if she looked like her 13 year old self of if that was just
something they added but I have 2 theory, one more unlikely then the other.
Most likely this is just something done by the producer but I hate that so I
came up with another theory. This is very unlikely, its actually probably
impossible but it could be that when Kurisu went back in time to when she also
would have been 13 that everyone saw her as the age she would have been at the
time. For example, if she were to go to a time where she was just 5 then
everyone would see her as a 5 year old. This is most likely false due to the
fact that Suzu was from the future but looked her actual age. Think what you
want but when producers do things like that it bugs me so I to would like an
explanation.
