Ep. 7: Okabe tests the Phone Microwave by sending lottery numbers to the past, triggering a world line shift.
Following a firmware update to the Phone Microwave, Okabe attempts to alter history by transmitting winning lottery numbers to the past. He experiences a sensation reminiscent of the satellite crash, only to find that no one else recalls the event. Investigation reveals that Ruka purchased a lottery ticket based on Okabe's advice, though he selected the wrong numbers due to a personal error. After a brief meeting with Suzuha, Okabe realizes a world line shift has occurred, creating a timeline where the experiment never happened and memories have been rewritten. Puzzled by his retained memories of the previous timeline, Okabe reaches out to Titor. Titor suggests that Okabe might possess the power to become a messiah, capable of guiding the world past the 1% Divergence point to change the dystopian future.
