My memory is hazy. In the beginning of the anime, Kurisu did not die, did she???

Okabe jumped to a world line where Kurisu died because he wanted to save Mayuri. Mayuri died in the first word line and all of it minor variations.

Second world line is where Kurisu died. And the world heads into WW3. Suzuha went back in time with Daru's time machine. Future Okabe hinted present Okabe to trick past Okabe by saving Kurisu but faking Kurisu's death to past Okabe. It's necessary or else he simply returns to first world line.

Okabe succeeded in carrying out his future self's instruction, and jumped to Stein's Gate world line, which is the true ending. Suzuha fades away as Okabe returns because she has no need to come back to the past in this world line.
