Kurisu is simply a human being with her own flawed personality. The term 'tsundere' does not even feel appropriate. She acts flustered and embarrassed not for cheap pandering, but because she's not used to having close relationships - she's dedicated her entire life to science. Even when it comes to the light-hearted 'moe' scenes (and there's quite a few in the beginning), Kurisu's personality remains consistent and believable. Kurisu's emotional state takes the centre stage this time, her being subjected to many of the same horrors that Okabe previously experienced. While the TV series primarily focused on her intellect and relationship with Okabe, the film instead decides to show a more human side to her character. Kurisu's role as the protagonist is the film's greatest strength. Miraculously, Kurisu manages to remember Okabe's existence through a steady case of deja vu - determined now to do everything she can to stop him from disappearing forever. Perhaps it's just a fit of emotional trauma, he thinks, but his worst fears are realised when he suddenly disappears from existence, trapped between multiple World Lines. His experiences with time travel have made him an unstable entity. There is no SERN, no time machines, no unavoidable deaths- but still something is amiss. Taking place exactly one year after the events of the main series, Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu depicts a seemingly blissful world. This is a continuation every bit as compelling as it is justified.

The end result has proven to be anything but a disaster. help but wonder, why on Earth did they choose to make a direct sequel of all things? It's almost as if they were asking, begging for a disaster. There were so many options available that you can't It could have been a forgettable prequel or even a retelling of the TV series' story. It could have been an ordinary piece of fanservice, a throwaway story, and some would have been perfectly content with that.

It does not need to exist, and yet it still has every right to. Like the concept of travelling backwards in time, Steins Gate: Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu is a paradox. How does one continue a story that has already wrapped up perfectly? The announcement of a Steins Gate sequel film was inevitably met by both caution and anticipation.
