Steins;Gate: The Missing Link on the Interface

TOKYO In the 23rd episode of the MX rebroadcast of the TV anime "Steins;Gate" (2015) aired in the early morning of December 3, the plot changed and entered the beta world line. In the end, Koshin failed to save Kurisu, and the plot entered the "Steins;Gate 0" chapter. The post-credits Easter egg includes the appearance of the main character of "0", the artificial intelligence "Amadeus" using Kurisu's avatar. The 23 episodes in the old and new versions are not parallel stories. The new version is a story that takes place on the eve of the old version. "Steins;Gate 0" and the radio drama "Arc Lamp Beta at Infinity" are the key works that connect these two episodes. Episode 23 of the new version is the prelude to "Steins;Gate 0", and the ending of "0" is that Kouma sends a text message to his past (2010) self, persuading himself at that time to save Kurisu again (this content is also mentioned in the old 23 episodes). This is the second action to rescue Kurisu in episode 24. "Arc Lamp Beta at Infinity Point" explains why Mayuri stopped Suzuha from slapping Koshin in the new episode 23, but slapped Koshin herself in the old episode 23.
