History WMG / SteinsGate

...And is unaware of it! Although he doesn't necessarily truly believe that he's a MadScientist his delusions about their being a secret organization and belief about time travel is what sets all of this into motion.

[[WMG: Okabe is a [[VisualNovel/ChaosHead Gigalomaniac...]]

In this World, Kyouma, in the form of Okabe, fought the good fight against CERN. Due to his time travel shenanigans, CERN is rendered utterly impotent. But Kyouma, due to his respect for free will, allowed Okabe to have his own life, an opportunity for Normalcy, even if he himself disappeared from the timeline, only remaining in Okabe's imagination. Hououin Kyouma, despite being a Megalomaniac, was grateful enough to allow Okabe to live a happy life with Makise Kurisu; after all, what matters is that CERN's global power is destroyed!

** In the Visual Novel, his InnerMonologue reads "Unfortunately, I am heterosexual." That said...
** As it was a flashback to Okabe telling off some creeps who were harassing Ruka, I interpreted that line more as, "You can dress how you want and look like whatever you want and those guys shouldn't be picking on you for it, no matter what gender you are," rather than Okabe saying he's attracted to Ruka no matter what. His BigBrotherInstinct extends to more than just Mayuri, apparently.

** [[https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A0%97%E9%A3%AF Kurigohan]] is a dish made with rice (gohan) and Japanese chestnuts (kuri).
** The Kamehameha part, though, pretty much confirms that it's a double meaning.

** Confirmed, except for the forgetting bit. There's no evidence that he is ever actually delusional or insane - at least, not in the main story. He's just fantasizing.

With old man like that it's no wonder he goes apeshit on the thought that he might be second to somebody.

In CERN's {{dystopia}}, it is obvious that the leader of LaResistance is Hououin Kyouma. It was he who sent Suzuha aka John Titor back to the past to undo the [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984]]-esque horror of the future. What is more surprising is that when Okabe was traumatised by Kurisu's death, a more confident version of himself shows up from the initially-blurred message. Instead of a pathetic loser, this Messenger was a MagnificentBastard, a true Megalomaniac, who have manipulated all causality for the sake of fucking CERN up its ass, and opening the Steins Gate to save Kurisu. The Messenger is not Okabe himself... it is Hououin Kyouma, the former CERN scientist who converted into becoming the Lord of Chaos, the Mad Scientist Übermensch who shall bring down CERN to its knees. El, Psy, Congroo.

And in this Universe, so are how CERN wants to TakeOverTheWorld. Initially, Kyouma was a Scientist working for CERN, and was one of the secret designers of the Large Hadron Collider so that it had the capability to generate micro Kerr black holes. The plot of Literature/AngelsAndDemons take place, what with people suspecting CERN of using Antimatter to destroy the Catholic Church. To preserve itself, CERN invested more into paramilitary hardware, a private Police and Surveillance force, and Time Travel technology. CERN would eventually order Dr. Nakabachi to hand over their research with Russia to start World War II and fulfill their ambition of a global Totalitarian Technocracy.

Initially, Kyouma was a Scientist working for CERN, and was one of the secret designers of the Large Hadron Collider so that it had the capability to generate micro Kerr black holes. The plot of Literature/AngelsAndDemons take place, and due to the averted Antimatter bombing of the Vatican, CERN invested more into paramilitary hardware and Time Travel technology. CERN would eventually share their research with Russia; the revelation of which results in World War III, that which allows them to rule the world. This only pushed Kyouma to accelerate the LHC to its utter limits. Hououin Kyouma, diving into the LHC, was reduced into subatomic particles...

...until a crackpot in Japan named Okabe Rintarou teamed up with Daru and decided to invent a Time Machine "[[ComicBook/IronMan IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!]]" Okabe made a Time Machine out of a microwave, and so he did. Beyond the quantum limits of Space and Time, Hououin Kyouma's consciousness was bonded to Okabe's neural patterns, creating the Mad Scientist persona he would become so famous for. Here did he discover that CERN is still planning towards world domination, which culminates in the assassination of Makise Kurisu by the hands of her own father.

This only pushed Kyouma to accelerate the LHC to its utter limits. Hououin Kyouma, diving into the LHC, was reduced into subatomic particles...

But why would Hououin Kyouma, the brilliant Scientist, ever infiltrate the brain of a random Japanese loser who thinks himself as a Mad Scientist? PRECISELY. By maintaining the persona of Okabe Rintarou, his presence can be masked by Okabe's ridiculous theatrics. Everyone considers Okabe a delusional fool. This is what Hououin Kyouma would say: Just as planned. When everyone knows Okabe was an idiot, he is the perfect hiding spot. Hououin Kyouma can work with all of the freedom he could be afforded.

* Altenatively, SERN ''were'' just a simple research facility, like our CERN. but in World War III, some time travelers, possibly the Valkyries, jumps into the past and convinced/bought SERN and turn it into a secret time travel re-research facility, with them becoming the Committee of 300. The Jellyman Reports are them failing to reverse engineer their time machines because they don't have the exact blueprints with them.

There have been theories that SERN was itself established by time travelers. Who could these travelers be, and why would they want to control the whole world, especially since they don't seem to derive much - if any - material benefit from doing so? Perhaps they came from the Beta Attractor Field and would stop at nothing to prevent the war.

Both Luka and his father seem to have unusually strong Reading Steiner abilities, second only to Okabe and Faris. Could Luka's ability be inherited from his father?

...And the Microwave Ophone/Time Leap Machine is his TARDIS. Because we need one of these theories! Also, Kurisu is his companion.

* Okabe is tortured in one timeline by the Inner Party in some timelines. He was sent to Room 101 and was tortured and mind raped. His worst fear, [[spoiler: a video of seeig both Kurisu and Mayuri dying]] is repeated all over again until he finally [[spoiler: loves Big Brother]].

But wait the book was set in 1984? Well the main character Winston said that he isn't even certain of the date and it may just be 1984, it could be actually 1985, 1999 or 2036. INGSOC just says its 1984 therefore its true.

In which superpowers do not exist, Moist eats more (Presumably because everything he eats is no longer inherently moist) and learned to hack, everyone lives in Japan except Captain Hammer [[TooDumbToLive who didn't get the memo about the alternate universe]] and Penny is even more scientifically savvy than Billy.
