Where to start with Steins;Gate

Watch Steins;Gate episodes 1 to 22 and then stop. Do not watch episode 23 yet. This is the one franchise on this site where the correct order requires you to pause a series mid finale, and getting it wrong makes the sequel look like a mistake.

  1. 1
    Steins;Gate, episodes 1 to 22 Steins;Gate

    The 2011 series up to the point where Okabe commits to his last attempt. The show is slow for roughly nine episodes and then does not stop, so give it that runway.

  2. 2
    Episode 23 beta, Divide By Zero Steins;Gate: Kyoukaimenjou no Missing Link, Divide By Zero

    A 2015 special that reuses most of episode 23 and then ends differently. This alternate ending is the branch point that Steins;Gate 0 begins from.

  3. 3
    Steins;Gate 0 Steins;Gate 0

    23 episodes set inside the failed worldline that Divide By Zero opens. Watched in this position it is a middle act. Watched after the original finale it is incoherent.

Then what? Now go back to the original series and watch episodes 23 and 24, which is where everything Steins;Gate 0 has just put you through gets paid off. After that the Egoistic Poriomania OVA is a light epilogue, and the 2013 film Load Region of Deja Vu is set about a year later and works as the last thing to watch. The Valentine's OVA is a Steins;Gate 0 side story and can go anywhere after Steins;Gate 0.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
