Reader’s Question:
In the Steins;Gate movie, there’s a scene where Chibi Okabe gets kissed by Kurisu. However, in the Steins;Gate anime, Okabe mentions that his kiss with Kurisu wasn’t his first kiss. Does this mean that the kiss with Kurisu in the movie, when she goes back in time, is considered
his first kiss? Or was it just to silence Moeka? I’m really confused about the timelines and would appreciate it if someone could explain this clearly.
Let’s Talk About Steins;Gate and Those Confusing Kisses!
So, I was rewatching the Steins;Gate movie the other day, and I found myself in a bit of a pickle regarding that scene with Chibi Okabe getting kissed by Kurisu. It’s one of those moments that makes you squeal a little, right? But then I remembered something Okabe mentioned in the anime about his first kiss not being with Kurisu, which got my head spinning like a time machine malfunctioning! I mean, what’s the deal? Is that kiss with Kurisu in the movie supposed to be his first kiss, or was it just a cheeky way to silence Moeka? I reached out to a friend, and they pointed out something interesting from the original game. Apparently, Okabe’s first kiss was a playful one with Mayuri when they were kids. Then there’s that kiss with Moeka, which he only did to shut her up! So, that leaves Kurisu’s kiss as his third, or does it? It’s like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces! The movie kiss feels significant, especially since it’s after all that time travel drama, but when you think about it, the original games had different intentions. Maybe the creators just forgot about the original storyline or figured that anyone who only watched the anime wouldn’t catch on to the details. It’s these little quirks that make discussing Steins;Gate so fun, though! I remember the first time I watched it; I was munching on some snacks, probably too many, and I was just laughing and gasping at all the twists. It’s like a rollercoaster of emotions, with the comedic moments balanced so perfectly with the serious ones. If you’ve been through this confusion too, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Do you think the kiss with Kurisu in the movie is meant to be his first? Or do you think it’s just a nod to the chaos that is time travel?
