His face was pale and unshaven and he seemed a lot more "messy" in contrast to his relatively "clean" appearance in the anime. Rintaro finally decides to sacrifice Kurisu and return to the original Attractor Field he was in.
Eduardo Luquin has been a geek for most of his life and he doesn't plan to stop anytime soon. In order to gather additional units for his college course, Rintaro attends a seminar being taught by Shouichi Makise about the fundamental theory behind creating a time machine. Rintaro rushes to the source of the sound to investigate and finds the body of Rintaro is shaken by the incident, and he contacts his friend Itaru about it through a text message. No, it's not scientists. Okabe respects who Suzuha currently is, and she respects the man that Okabe can become. He then gives her the LabMem badge and appoints her as LabMem #005. A major theme of Steins;Gate is that emotions transcend world lines. One is for himself, LabMem #001, and the other one is for LabMem #004, Kurisu. And most importantly of all, they look good in lab coats.Oh, the classic "kidnapper" and "kidnappee" romance.


He would soon stumble upon John Titor, a time-traveling character famous for his discussions of the world in the year 2036, and this sparked his interest in knowing more about John Titor and his ideas about time travel. Rintaro continued living in this Steins;Gate worldline happily with both Kurisu and Mayuri safe and sound. He then puts another LabMem Badge in a box and tells Itaru that the 8th Member will appear 7 years later, and for Itaru it was an inescapable fate. However, when they attempt to do this, the operation ends in disaster when Rintaro tries to stab the culprit with a knife but stabbed Kurisu instead. All they need is a little push and they would remember. Rintaro rushes back to the lab to time leap to when Moeka was still alive, but before he could do that, he realizes that someone is using the time leap machine(After a stake-out in front of a locker (in which Moeka hid the IBN5100), Rintaro and Moeka tailed many people who took the IBN5100 and spent an all-nighter to find FB, which to their surprise, turn out to be Mr. Braun. Okabe is also socially inept, to the point that he saw absolutely nothing wrong with yelling in Kurisu's face for calling him 'Okabe' instead of 'Hououin Kyouma' and couldn't understand why she was crying afterward. Thankfully, it seems like Kurisu likes it well enough to avoid any soda-related troubles that could harm their relationship.Maho and Okabe's relationship would be a lot like the relationship he has with Kurisu. Kurisu then apologizes for letting Okabe get involved in her murder, saying "I'm sorry for dragging a stranger like you into this." He has his short black hair swept back and has brown irises, with a small amount of stubble on his chin and cheeks. The only difference would be that Okabe would have a whole lot of baggage going into this relationship.And that baggage all centers around the last person he loved, Kurisu. With the little information he knows about her, Rintaro is able to find Moeka's apartment, but he also finds out that Moeka had committed suicide. He questions Mayuri about the apparent disappearance of the pedestrians, who seems to not have noticed. She kisses Rintaro (and he demands another one from her after the first kiss). Okabe felt that. They have a deep understanding of each other as individuals.

In both she feels sad because of Kurisu's death despite not knowing her. As Shouichi begins his seminar, Rintaro, a staunch believer of time machines, recognizes the core material on which the professor speaks and makes a commotion, accusing the professor of having plagiarized the idea from Afterward, Rintaro talks to Mayuri about her Metal Upa, which she lost before they hear a scream come from upstairs.

He later drops his Chuunibyou facade upon witnessing Mayuri's multiple deaths, revealing a serious side of himself he has not shown for the first half of the series as he works hard to undo all the previous D-mails he has made. Not only that, but they also get along quite well with Okabe providing some moral and emotional support for the young shrine maiden with self-esteem issues. If they were to form a relationship, it is quite possible that they might be able to reconcile any differences between what they see and what they got.At the bare minimum, anybody who wants to start a relationship with Okabe has to at least tolerate Dr. Pepper (known as Dk Pepper in-universe). The breast pocket of his lab coat has a red pen sticking out, and around his slacks he wears a black military-style canvas belt, with a gold-colored buckle. Rintaro Okabe (岡部 倫太郎 Okabe Rintarō? Everybody get your water goggles on, we are about to go shipping! In a slip of tongue, he calls Kurisu by the nickname he used in other world lines, Christina.
