Hello BBHQ,

For a long time I went around the anime Steins;Gate (even though it is ranked top 10 on almost all websites). Couple of weeks ago I decided to give it a try. Probably the best and worst decision I made when it comes to anime. The best: Steins;Gate is in my top five, heck even top three. The fact that I was so hooked that I watched the anime within several days. The worst as Suzuha Amane would write: the feels,  the feels,  the feels,  the feels,  the feels,  the feels,  the feels,  the feels... Oh man, probably the only time I felt something like that was with Code Geass, but this one surpasses it (a new attractor field when it comes to feelings haha). I love the series so much that I started with the manga, novels etc etc...

So as most of the storyline is clear to me, there is still  something I don't understand:

Episode 23 has two options:

Either Okabe time travels for the second time and saves Kurisu, which brings them to the Steins;Gate world line

Or Okabe does not attempt to save Kurisu and accepts that he can't save her (staying in the Beta world line). So this is where Steins;Gate 0. I assume that the anime will follow Okabe since he made that decision.

But i can't wrap my head around Arc Light of the Point of Infinity. So Suzuha isn't able to convince Okabe and has 1 year the time to find a solution to make a divergence before it is 28th of July. We follow the story of Mayushi who in the end travels with Suzuha back in time to convince her past-self to tell Okabe he should save Kurisu, as that triggers the video D-mail from future Okabe?

So my question is: Do Steins;Gate 0 and  Arc Light of the Point of Infinity both happen in the Beta word line? If not, where do they split up? I assume that in  Steins;Gate 0 and   Arc Light of the Point of Infinity will be the same up to the point that Suzuha goes back in time. At that moment (1)either Mayushi chases Suzuha and goes with her to convince Okabe to save Kurisu or (2) they let Suzuha go, which means the anime will follow the life of Okabe up until he finds the solution to save Kurisu and sends past-Okabe a video D-mail with the instructions. Am i even close? hahah

Already my thanks for reading my long story and answering my question!
