The sequel branches off a version of episode 23 that was made four years later and aired as a separate special.
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.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
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.
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.
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.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
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.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
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.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.
Part of the subscription.
Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
