Regarding Charles Dance's pronunciation of, Magdeline: In each of the English Universities of Oxford and Cambridge you will find a Magdeline College. One is pronounced similarly to the way you pronounced it; the other is pronounced as Charles Dance pronounced it, "Maudline". In common usage your pronunciation is always used. "Maudline" is ONLY used for the old College. I guess the pronunciation is used in the show simply to sound antiquated, but it could be associating him with the College, I suppose, though I think that's less likely.

The meaning of the name Tenma depends on which kanji are used to write it. When used as a name, Tenma usually means something like Heavenly Horse. Tenma is a flying horse similar to the Greek Pegasus, which was the name of the flying horse that sprung from the open wound left by Perseus decapitating Medusa. Tenma is also, as you intimated, the name of a demon who tempted Buddha. Tenma’s job is to prevent good works being completed. The kanji are different, of course, so we’d have to see Dr. Tenma’s name written down to know which meaning should apply, but heavenly horse is usual for a family name.

33:25 yes chaos theory does say that but homeostasis tries to balance it out as per the episode name. When the tried the Lotto 6, changes (though very small) were there but homeostasis made it so that they couldn't win the lottery even if it was a human error

My understanding is that Dr. Tenma was head of surgery. The Director of the hospital may have instructed him to operate on the mayor instead of the boy but that was over the phone; he hadn't seen the patients personally. Dr. Tenma is well within his rights to ignore the director on surgical matters. He had personally seen the boy and the X-rays and knew what the operation entailed. He judged himself to have the best chance of saving the boy so he did the right thing. Remember also, when Dr. Tenma was ending his phone call with the director, the mayor had just landed on the helipad and was being taken to the MRI or something. The extent of his surgical requirements was not yet known. It might have been a simple thing a first year student could perform or it could have been more taxing. The point is it was unknown, whereas the boy's surgical needs had already been assessed. As the director said, the success of the surgery depends greatly on trust between those involved. If the director can't trust the head of surgery to make a call like that, then what was he thinking when he appointed him? I understand what you are saying about the extra funding allowing them to save more lives but there's no reason to think they would lose that with the mayor's life. His successor might even be grateful to the hospital for opening up the job for them and give them more funding lol. The point is that losing funding is not a certainty. If the extra funding had been announced it would be very difficult for the new mayor to change that decision without a lot of people asking questions and making things awkward for him. All the hospital needs to do is to rename the operating room in honour of the mayor who died in it and the new mayor kinda has his hands bound. I can play politics, too lol.

Tenma made a decision as an individual and it is his responsibility. The institution is there to diffuse responsibility and be arguably inhumane if it needs to be. He has to take on board both the good and the bad of his decision because it's just that, his decision as an individual. If he had acted merely as a member of the institution, whether or not it's the right call is ultimately not his problem. Were it a matter of merely another individual demanding he save the mayor, that would be different, and his decision could be argued to be a moral one. The institution itself, everybody knows, needs to triage and resource allocate. It is an expected function of the institution. It is not a decision for individuals to make. Where the decisions of the institution are questionable, there are likely proper channels he could have gone through, though they may well not have worked at all, but nonetheless. To disobey the institution and take it upon yourself as an individual to disobey them, I would argue there would need to be a clear immorality in play with the decision rather than merely a dubious and contestable one. "Boss tells you to kill this guy" vs "Boss tells you to focus on saving X rather than Y". Two very different orders. The latter is always going to be contestable to some extent, even if you can adopt a view that says it is immoral, as you yourself noted, you can also adopt a view that sees it as the best outcome. Deciding between those conflicting moral views is the function of the institution to prevent an anarchy of individuals each acting according to their own moral compass. Because the order wasn't flagrantly immoral and/or illegal, it was not his place to disobey the institution and usurp its function. "No matter how you look at it, this is wrong, I will not do it." v "I think this is wrong, but a reasonable person could disagree. I must obey.".

I think it is Tenma's call since the director is corrupt af. I think he did the morally correct thing. A healthcare system where you prioritise donors sounds dangerous and ripe for corruption. You shouldn't treat people because of the value they are perceived to hold. You should treat people because they are people. Tenma stood up to the director who was blinded by money and greed.

If there is ONE good thing about this adaption...Wilem Dafoe is the PERFECT fit for Ryuk. If I had to make live action adaptations of Death Note, I'd get him back.

Chromosomal sex of the baby is determined at fertilisation, are they attempting to have the mother consume more vegetables prior to conception? As altering anything pre-conception would almost certainly change the baby, it would not be the same Ruka, unless time travel wise, Ruka has to exist.

32:44 well, there's a really good explanation as to why it actually is a thing and their microwave works. It's explained more in the VN and even more in manga and drama CDs side materials. The anime only drops 1 line on the subject later but it's so general and under the rug, you won't connect the dots.

6:02 it didn't change the worldline because there was no change of outcome. Daru still lost, so nothing needed to be changed. Now, you might ask, why doesn't Daru remember receiving the message. It's because of how the world works. I'm trying to not give spoilers here and use only the info you have right now. As others said in past comments, it's not that Okabe "remembers" the other worldline. It's that everyone's memories change to fit this new worldline that gets reconstructed as a result of changed actions. Okabe's memory doesn't change when there's a worldline shift (and yes, there's an explanation as to why, but that's in A;C game) There was no worldline change here because Daru still lost. If there isn't a worldline change, memories don't get rewritten. Now, if you ask yourself why the hell does it work like this, I got the answers to that too, but it's not part of Steins;Gate, it's Anonymous;Code :))

The reason why ruka wants to change gender is pretty obvious he is very much into okabe but neither him or okabe are gay, so he feels if he was a girl, he could confess his feelings to okabe. VN cut content no spoilers in VN ruka said his father and older sister forced him to wear girls clothing because "he is too cute to be a boy" and ruka (jokingly) calls them abusive. why ruka ia in love with okarin ? okarin saves ruka when a bunch of cameraman's were harassing him and making fun of him for crossdressing , then he takes ruka to weapon shop and buys a sword for him and keeps coming back to the shrine to spend time with ruka and trains with him.

I always think that some events from my past indeed shaped me, but not all of them, I am who I am despite the fact that some things happen, not because some things happen. But that does not mean I'd actually change anything I guess, it mainly depends how I perceive the final outcome, and final outcome for now is today. And it is good enough to not try to fix it. Especially when I do not know the new outcome.

Dr. Stone reaction when

8:56 - "Would you change anything?" - I would. By knowing the outcome, I'd tell myself to stress less - because the outcome will be good, so I would stop losing my mind and procrastinate, or if the outcome is bad, I'd do something to prepare for it. Basically, just a bit of care for myself of the past. 19:46 - (About Yuri) "Yuri" - Yuri is a genre of Japanese media focusing on intimate relationships between female characters. While lesbian relationships are a commonly associated theme, the genre is also inclusive of works depicting emotional and spiritual relationships between women that are not necessarily romantic or sexual in nature. 23:45 - (About cosplay) It usually works like that, yes, but it's also not unusual for people to cosplay characters that are just super popular for the sake of social clout (popularity - more followers, likes and etc.). For example: Rem from Re:Zero, Asuna from Sword Art Online, Zero-Two from Darling in the Franxx - these are one of the most popular characters, and I doubt that everyone who cosplayed them, know / like the character. 25:52 - (About Ruka's gender and subtitles) It's the subs mistake. Japanese language doesn't have He/She (Er / Sie), they simply use names, but English language has. In Japanese, correct me if I'm wrong, people use different endings to portrait they gender and/or social status. For example, in Death Note Ep. 1 or 2, when Light and L says "I'm justice" you can hear, that they say it differently, and while Light's version is "the male version", L's is more "gender neutral" to hide his gender, because he's so secretive, iirc // In AOT, original manga, Hanji Zoe is never confirmed to be male or female - "The manga is careful to never address Hange with a gendered pronoun, as per author request", so in original, it's up to viewers/readers head-cannon to think of Hanji as a male or female // in Overlord, Shaltear ends her sentences with "Arinsu" which was used by high-end prostitutes or geishas (also, can be used in another meaning. It's super archaic word though). So, even if Ruka addresses to himself as masculine / neutral, basing on the endings of the words, subs decided to address him as a girl, because he's feminine and wants to be a girl. 31:00 - (About pagers) My parents had pagers. // As of the end of 1996 some 10 million units were in use in Japan, and if Ruka was born in 1993, it's possible that his mother had a pager at this point. 34:45 - (About how much time-jump changes the world line) Everytime Okabe changes the past, a timer / clock shows up - that's the reality he's in (world's line) or how much is changed, don't really remember that. But as it was stated, it won't have MASSIVE consequences, unless it's bigger than 1.

1:00 Ten " Heaven", Ma "Evil".

I would change the past without a second thought. I wouldn't be me, yes. But i would still be. I guess it's a matter of whether or not, you think the new life you would get would be better than your current one and how much you're willing to risk it being worse. In my case, i would risk it without hesitation.

If you like psychological stuff, consider watching Psycho-Pass!

Yeah. Now that you've reached the end of Death Note, I'm pretty sure this (aside from the killing of Lind L. Tailor) was his ultimate downfall. THIS was what ultimately brought L's suspicion towards him, regardless of how much he tried to disprove it 😅😂

i think it would be awesome for you to cosplay okabe after you finish the show!

Came for physics, got a cosplay tangent. Wild

About "Steiner" and "Steins" et cetera, and what does it means. Apparently, it is very not obvious for someone speaking Deutch natively, but for those who doesn't it's very obviously that it is just a Maddo Scientisto Okabe chuny allusion to the Maddo Scientisto Albert "my-theory-technichly-does-not-forbid-time-trevel" Ein"Stein", the only meaning of which is to sound cool and maddo-sciensey.

I'm glad you are digging the show, it perhaps has got a bit more hand-waving when it comes to time travel theory than other shows but it has a lot of heart. I think that's what makes me appreciate the story even when I feel like there's something like a plot hole itch to scratch- I want to create a reason to go with it, as you are clearly doing in this episode. No lie, the Ruka becoming a girl stuff was the weakest part of the show for me, and talking about divergence or why they are all in the same room after all the drama of sending back a message to a pager makes me feel less alone in thinking that while it was motivated by character it was a bridge too far for plot. I can understand a fetus being xxy or something like that but not because of the mom eating vegetables. In something of a defense of the show though don't forget that 90's Japan was the tech envy of the world and they were definitely using pagers quite a bit. I grew up in NYC then and while we had pagers there was still a gap with Japan. In a sad way they have still held on to old tech like fax machines for a long time after.

My father had a pager, but he mainly used it to contact his work colleagues.

My dad did have a beeper when I was a kid, probably around the year 2000, I think it's the same as a pager? but yeah :p I bet they were even more popular in a country like Japan.

A person who would go to the past wants to change something about themselves.

The limited effects of the D-Mail targeting Ruka's mother align with the show's internal logic: the worldline divergence was minor, and the attractor field ensured broader stability

I've cosplayed multiple times as Okabe, it's so much fun

Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium, which is a befitting oxymoron for the current stage of the events. On the other hand, yuri is a genre which portrays lesbian relationships. Ruka is a boy though.

I agree that letting Moeka send a message without checking it is crazy. Despite the whole John Titor exchange, I don't think the risks and potential of it all has properly sunk in for Okabe, and the other members haven't gotten to experience the world line shifts themselves so it doesn't feel real to them.

Ruka's gender is a bit of a hot button topic and i don't wish to spoil anything that is coming, but what i will say is that Ruka is naturally feminine and not deliberately trying to appear as a girl. He was pretty clearly not comfortable wearing the cosplay for Mayuri and even in the case of his usual shrine maiden outfit, this is something has father had him start wearing and not his idea (i don't believe the anime properly establishes this, so not a spoiler). The distinction thus here is that he feels like he should have been born as a girl and not necessarily that the male him actively wishes to become one.

Yeah, I still love it, but the whole situation is definitely a product of it's time. Ruka just got done explaining to them that they basically feel uncomfortable with the discrepancy between their sex and how they look.... and the first thing that happens is possibly the worst thing someone could do to confirm that discomfort.

44:41 most people here would operate on the mayor and abide by the director's orders. And most people (those same people 😂)watching this show would say to themselves (and to others by the way) that if it were them,they would operate for the kid😂😂😂

I can relate with the unfit saviour trope, as long as it's done correctly, I find a lot of them lead to the character having to compromise for their lack of ability by coming up with their own definition of a victory

Okabe actually did check Moeka´s mail in the VN right before giving it back to her so that she could send it

12:25 please watch the video "death note but you can't hear the internal monologues" its this scene but you can't hear what light is thinking, and he looks so suspicious

"sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

a death note from L's perspective would be crazy

Youre reactions to this are so good! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

We are reaching breaking point

Both of my parents worked in the hospital so having a pager was completely normal to me. I had one from the early 90s till like 2001

Why do you assume that slight changes will butterfly into chaos? Wouldnt that mean that among near infinite possible universes we just so happen to be in one where everything just so happened to not mess everything? And besides, small actions have a limit on what they can change. If someone decides to breathe a bit faster that wont make the moon speed up.

31:50 They didn't worry because they didn't think Ruka's message would actually change anything. They talked about it just a few minutes prior. They just wanted to give Ruka the peace of mind that they at least tried. But Okabe, Kurisu and Daru didn't actually believe that eating some vegetables during pregnancy could change the child's gender. Also, as for the reason why not much changed even though the message was sent 17 years into the past... I think it's because Ruka himself did not change much. Yes, he's a different gender now, but he was already very girly before and was treated like a girl by almost everyone, so when he actually turned into a girl, the timeline was barely affected because it didn't really change the way people saw him/her.

Oh hell yeah

This ennourmous text doesnt have any spoilers, they are explanations about what you asked this episode So, you asked about ruka gender and all, and that's a really complicated topic Ruka is, biologically, a man, but mentally a woman, she is trans, but there are a lot of problems about her representation on this series (for me is by far the worst thing in the series). Okay, i understand, it was made in 2009, but that doesn't change these problems. All characters in the story reffers to her as him, as a man, including herself, because this is a common in anime culture, about a character that is man but act as a woman and vice versa. This could be easily fixed with a little of respect for her character by everyone, but not. Because it need to be funny right? Everytime okabe talk about her, he needs to put "but he's a guy" in the end of the sentence, and need to have a scene of someone touching her parts to know for sure. Theres a really weird background that was cut off the anime about her father being really weirdo and pervert, as much as Daru. Japanese culture, there's nothing we can do Also, okabe uses rukako to talk about her because ruka is a feminine name, and adding the -ko makes a more masculine name. The thing about the pagers is that they were very common in japan in that time, pagers entered japan in the 80's and japan was a country that took a while to enter in all os this globalization thing, most of the cellphones and pagers were all produced in japan, thats why they still using flip phones in 2010, the big explosion of smartphones came in late 2010-2011 with the launch of iphone 4, so it makes sense that ruka mother has a pager on that period. Sorry about any typo on my explanation, english not my first language, love your reaction, seeing you talk about physics is relly fun, it would be extremely cool to see a reaction of Dr. Stone, its a anime full focused on recreating all of science history by hand. Loves from brazil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 ❤❤️

The ending being that way is meant to represent the horror of "same but not" The uncanny feeling of knowing something is horribly wrong but being painfully unable to figure it out.

Used to cosplay in the past. Cosplay has too wide of a range between amateur to professional that I'd argue it's almost pointless to try to pinpoint what entails as cosplay. Therr are those who just feels like donning the outfit because it looks good/attractive, there are those who want to EMBODY the character. Then there are those who can't care less what the character is, they were either forced, paid or convinced into donning the costume. (Like Ruka here) It's alright to be confused, but the subject itself is rather pointless to pin down.

It's always nice to see someone get immersed in the story.

This is really a show you should consider watching a 2nd time afterwards to fully enjoy it and maybe as the dub then - the way the transfered all the jokes and co like the whole cosplay scene nto english is a work of its own - but mostly to see what you all missed the first time around (...) mfg Olli

Im lazy so i asked GPT about pagers in Japan. Idk if accurate: "Yes, pagers were very popular in Japan, especially during the late 1980s and 1990s. They were widely used by students, young adults, and professionals as a primary means of communication before mobile phones became common."
