Steins;Gate 1

I came out with this a lot later than I'd originally figured. My apologies for my tardiness.



Steins;Gate Chapter 1

Img01_01

Box 1: When I left the radio station,
Box 2: I saw that the people walking through Akihabara had vanished in an instant.
Box 3: And that a satellite had collided with the station.
Blue Writing: The game of topic this Fall has quickly been made into a comic!
Building Writing: Information Radio Station
Text: Is this a dream…? Or am I just seeing things?
Bubble 1: *Humming sound*
Bubble 2: What’s wrong, Okarin?
Bubble 3: Mayuri!

Bubble 1: You didn’t disappear!
Bubble 2: Eh?
Bubble 3: Everyone just disappeared in a second just now! Didn’t you see it?!
Bubble 4: Ehh? I didn’t see anything…?
Bubble 5: Has the heat gotten to you or something?!
Bubble 6: Waahhh… What are you doing to me-e-e-e?
Bubble 7: The one the heat got to was you, Okarin…
Bubble 8: What’d you say?!
Bubble 9: Because…there was no one here
Bubble 10: From the very beginning, you know?

Img01_05

Box 1: S-
Box 2: Say what?!
Bubble 1: Special summer training, huh…
Bubble 2: Crazy boring to the (12th power/to the max)
Bubble 3: Why not just skip and go to a maid café?
Bubble 4: No mistake about it… The streets in Akihabara are always brimming with people…
So, I saw that horde of people vanish in an instant right in front of me...!
Bubble 5: That story again…
You were just daydreaming.
Bubble 6: Look over there.

Img01_06

Bubble 1: Only thing the news is talking about is about that satellite crashing into the radio station.
Bubble 2: There are currently several people of the press crowding around the Information Radio Station.
Bubble 3: The cause of the crash by the artificial satellite is currently under investigation,
Bubble 4: And according to the words of a specialist…
Bubble 5: But even still, that’s a pretty big disaster.
I wonder if they’ve disclosed whether anyone died or not.
Text: Nothing on Makise Kurisu…
Box: Was what I saw really just a daydream?
Bubble 6: By the way, about the Phone Stove…

Img01_07

Bubble 1: HMM? Do you happen to be talking about the invention we made in the mixed residential (multi-tenant) building of Akihabara in the invention circle we founded called the, “Room for Future Gadgets Research”? (T/N: Japan has two kinds of clubs: circles and clubs. Clubs are more intense, and circles are for those who are normally not as willing to put so much time into an extracurricular activity.)
Bubble 2: A witty explanation!
Anyway, about that stove…
Bubble 3: I still don’t know the cause for why the kaarage was frozen when the stove’s supposed to thaw it out. (T/N: Kaarage = Japanese fried chicken. It’s different.)
Bubble 4: What do you think, Okarin?
Text: Even "My Favorite Right Arm", a.k.a. Super Hacker, a.k.a. Dal, doesn't know anything about it.
Text: Maybe I really was just suffering from the heat like Mayuri said…?
Bubble 5: For me, I feel that the Phone Stove is the key to opening the Steins Gate...
Bubble 6: Huuuuh…
Bubble 7: Starting AGAIN with your childish delusions…
Bubble 8: Wha?!
I am NOT childish!
Bubble 9: I am always thinking about the possibility that could transcend the entire universe and...
Bubble 10: Kyaa…
Bubble 11: Oh…sorry about that.
Bubble 12: No, no…the fault is mine,

Img01_08

Bubble 1: So I’ll just be…
Text: Th-this girl…
Text: Makise Kurisu?!
Text: But what’s she doing here?! I could’ve sworn she was at the radio station…
Bubble 2: Ah…
Was there anything you needed?
Bubble 3: Wh-what are you doing here?! You’re supposed to be dead!
Bubble 4: Ehh?

Img01_09

Bubble 1: You were safe…? No way, you were definitely stabbed and all bloody…
Bubble 2: I’m telling you that was just a delusion! A daydream!
Bubble 3: You also sent me a text about the same thing, one week ago. Remember?
Bubble 4: A week ago?
Text: What the hell is this...? I'm pretty sure I sent the information to Dal right after I saw this girl getting killed a few hours ago.
Bubble 5: That wasn’t a week ago…
I saw Makise Kurisu killed just 3 hours ago!
Bubble 6: …Hold on, now… Could you not go killing me off as you like?
Bubble 7: Speaking of which…the delivery time of that text was one week after,
So, that means it came from the future.
Bubble 8: From the future?
Bubble 9: Take a look.

Img01_10

Bubble 1: The date of that text was one week later, the 28th.
Isn’t that today?
Text message: Makise Kurisu was
Text message: Killed by a man.
Text message: I saw it…the guy…
Bubble 2: …These are the texts I sent three hours ago!
Bubble 3: Huh?!
Bubble 4: How very interesting…
Bubble 5: I…I swear I saw it!
Bubble 6: This afternoon, after the presentation on Dr. Nakabachi at the radio station, you were stabbed to death by someone!
Bubble 7: Didn’t I ask you not to go killing me off as you liked?!

Img01_11

Bubble 1: The presentation on Dr. Nakabachi was more or less cancelled
Bubble 2: Due to the incident of the satellite collision, was it not?
Bubble 3: Cancelled?!
Text: The stories aren’t meshing together again…
Text: Same with Mayuri at that one time…
Bubble 4: There wasn’t anyone here from the start, right?
Bubble 5: Hmm, excuse me, Mr…
Bubble 6: M-my name is Hououin Kyouma.
Bubble 7: Yeah right.
Bubble 8: Hououin-san, a full accounting of the story just now…
Bubble 9: Makise-san, it’s nearly time.

Img01_12

Bubble 1: Ah, yes.
Bubble 2: Excuse me, I will be taking my leave.
Bubble 3: …You’re acting kinda weird today. What’s up?
Bubble 4: That’s what I want to ask…
Bubble 5: Well, let’s get going for now.
Bubble 6: …Yeah, okay.
Box 1: So Dal and I went to take the course at the university together.
Box 2: The surprising thing is, our teacher was…

Img01_13

Box 1: None other than Makise Kurisu.
Bubble 1: Just when I was thinking it was a déjà vu, it was that genius girl.
Bubble 2: Still 18, but she’s pretty amazing.

Img01_14

Text: Makise Kurisu…
Text: Was her death really an illusion…?
Box: The Next Day
Bubble 1: About the issue of Makise Kurisu…
Maybe it’s part of an organizational conspiracy…
Bubble 2: So you still haven’t unweirded yourself yet…
Bubble 3: There’s just something about the delivery time of that text…maybe something was interrupting its transmission…
Small Text: No, that must be it…
Bubble 4: A text from the future, huh…

Img01_15

Bubble 1: It’s as if there are time travelers…or maybe it’s time traveling?
Bubble 2: No doubt about it! The truth is being covered up by those guys!
Bubble 3: Get over it already!
Bubble 4: I can't take socializing with your delusions anymore.
I’ll go and meet up with Felice-tan ahead of you.
Seeya!
Bubble 5: Guh…that Dal ran off…
Small Text: So fast…
Text: It’s amass with tons of people here…
Text: So it really was just a dream I saw…
Bubble 6: Ahhhh, this doesn’t make any sense at all!
Bubbled SFX: Tug

Img01_16

Bubble 1: …Huh?
Bubble 2: …Um…
Bubble 3: Wha…
Bubble 4: What the hell’s with you?!
Geez, it’s just one thing after another!
Bubble 5: I’m searching for Akihabara’s urban legend…
The IBN 5100… (T/N: I don’t know if the author got this wrong, or if it’s an intentional mistake…according to the Titor story, it should be IBM 5100, not IBN. Could it be copyright issues?)


Img01_17

Bubble 1: The IBN 5100?
Bubble 2: You mean the illusionary retro PC John Titor was looking for?
Bubble 3: It appears to be…somewhere in Akihabara…
Bubble 4: Have…you seen it…?
Bubble 5: I just know about the name…
Text: Just what is this so suddenly…
Bubble 6: Do you…know of a person who would know more…?
Bubble 7: Huh? Ahh…
If it was Dal, he’d probably know…
Bubble 8: M-my phone!
Bubble 9: Tell me your cell number, okay?
Bubble 10: What the-! What the hell are you doing as you please?!
Bubble 11: It’s fine. I’ve entered in my own number into your phone as well.
Bubble 12: HUH?!

Img01_18

Bubbled SFX: Tap
Bubble 1: …I will be texting you.
Bubble 2: So ask this Dal person, okay…?
Bubble 3: Wha…J-just hold up!
Just who the hell are you anyway?!
Bubble 4: Kiryuu Moeka…
Bubble 5: I work in editorial production close to here…

Img01_19

Bubble 1: Nyaa! Welcome back, Master! Nyaa! (T/N: …Nyaa…how the hell was I supposed to stick that in?)
Bubble 2: Ahh, it’s Okarin!
Bubble 3: You come so often, Kyouma! Nyaan!
Bubble 4: It’s Felice and Mayuri.
Bubble 5: Are you being chased by the organizations today, too, nyaa?
Bubble 6: Seems that way.
Bubble 7: Okarin! Okarin! What do you wanna eat?
Bubble 8: I’ll leave my Mayushi Nyan Nyan to you.

Img01_20

Bubble 1: Understood!
Bubble 2: Stick around for a while, Kyouma!
Bubble 3: Ahhh, that’s the number one maid for you…
Felice is soooo cute…ah, Felice!
Bubble 4: I'm pretty impressed Mayuri could decide to keep working at a place like this.
Bubble 5: You’re really late.
Bubble 6: I kinda ran into some weird girl.
Bubble 7: Some weird girl?
Bubble 8: You…
Know about a John Titor, right?
Bubble 9: Who’s that?

Img01_21

Bubble 1: Ah, gross…
Bubble 2: He appeared in 2000! You know, the one who said he was a time traveler from 2036?!
I talked to you about in high school!
Bubble 3: Huh…? Never heard of him.
Bubble 4: What is that, anyway…? Some new creation of yours?
Text: Never heard of him…?
Bubble 5: There’s no way you forgot…
Bubble 6: First I’ve heard about it.
Text: That’s odd… Dal’s pretty much an internet junkie…
Text: He shouldn’t not know about something that became considerable news on 2channel (2ch), a huge BBS…

Img01_22

Bubble 1: Then…how about the IBN 5100?
Bubble 2: Ah, that I know about.
Bubble 3: The rare IBN model sold in 1975?
Bubble 4: Yeah, that’s it!
Text: John Titor even wrote about it on 2ch himself…
Bubble 5: In those days, it was considered a superior PC due to being packed up with IBN’s original technology.
Bubble 6: But the PC turned into an illusion due to it being too expensive for any individual to buy.
It’s existed as an urban legend for Akihabara, but seems to not have been found in the end.
Bubble 7: So that legend was a rumor?
Bubble 8: Who knows? There’s a lot of sketchy stores in Akihabara.
It could just be rolling around somewhere, right?

Img01_23

Bubble 1: Why are you asking this out of nowhere anyway?
Bubble 2: Ah…no reason.
Text: Why’s that weirdo girl looking for the IBN 5100 around this time anyway?
Sign: Room for Future Gadgets Research
Bubble 3: So hoooot…
Bubble 4: Let’s turn on the A/C, Okarin…

(T/N: "Age", taken from “ageru (to rise)” and "sage", taken from “sageru (to lower)”, are specifically designed for BBSs to specify a topic's order of importance. If a person writes in "age" next to their name, the topic will be shifted up to one of the most recent for everyone to take notice of. If they write "sage", the original position will remain and no one will pay any more attention to it than usual. Just as when a person comments on an old topic on a forum, it gets shifted to the most recent.)
