Hello Please help me, I need an answer to that. First of all, I'm Brazilian, so sorry for any grammar mistakes.

My question is: Why did Okabe and Mayuri of episode 1 get the Metal Upa from the machine and Okabe and Mayuri in episode 24 get a green Upa, since those two scenes are in the same situation?

I'll explain the context. Yes, the timeline where the anime starts and where it ends are the same, although many deny it. Here are the proves:

1- The scream that Okabe and Mayuri heard in the first episode is Okabe thrusting his hand in his own wound in the belly to drip blood "But in the timeline that Kurisu really dies he also screams when he sees this dying" Okay, but it's different. Watch episode 24 again, notice what happens when he screams. CERTAINLY is the scream of the first episode.

2 - In the first episode, the video that he received from the future Okabe was not executed, the screen was in static. Why? Because that video does not exist on that timeline, in the timeline where Kurisu is alive. If the anime started on the line where Kurisu dies the video would run normally, because it was in that timeline that the war happens in the future and Okabe recorded the video.

3- In the first episode, when Okabe goes up to verify the scream, as soon as he is arriving there, he hears a noise, that seems to be Okabe (stabbed) and Suzuha, hidden to observe him.

4 - He deceives Okabe of the past to circumvent the convergence. I'm gonna explain: Okabe thinking Kurisu is dead is enough to save her because the time line that she really dies only exist BECAUSE he thinks she dies.

I made a chart to make it easier. (http://i.imgur.com/ClGYJLZ.png) You can see that in episode 22 he goes to a timeline (which he kills her) that never existed. He creates this timeline just by thinking she dies, and that he needs to save her. Which ends up unleashing on her real death, unintentionally. So the fact that he thinks she dies is enough because that's the only factor that's needed to connect to the timeline where she's alive. Kurisu was alive all the time, he just had to really kill her to justify the fact that he thought she died.

Even in this graphic, done by the people from here, the anime begins in the final line.

Now, with all this explained, I come back to the question: Why did Okabe and Mayuri of episode 1 get the Metal Upa and Okabe and Mayuri in episode 24 get a green Upa since those two scenes are in the same situation?

If anyone can clarify this I will be very grateful.

Thank you very much.
