* YoungerThanTheyLook: Both Okabe and Hashida are supposed to be 18, but look like they're closer to their late 20's. Their tall stature and Okabe's lab coat may have something to do with it. And even though she's like an AdultChild, Mayuri still does not look like a 16-year old.

** It also shows that [[spoiler: undoing the alterations caused by time travel may reverse the bad things they caused, but it also negates all the good things, forcing you to let go of the gifts you got from time travel. And even if you go through all the trouble of unaltering the future so STERN doesn't turn the world into a dystopia, that does not mean that other disasters can't happen.]]

However, the usual "this line obviously contains great weight by virtue of containing the title" version shows up near the end of the series, when [[spoiler:future!Rintaro uses "Steins Gate" to refer to the ideal timeline where both Kurisu and Mayuri are alive and World War III and dystopia are both averted]].

** [[LampshadedHanging Lampshaded]] and [[{{Deconstruction deconstructed]] when [[spoiler: Rintarou wants to keep time-leaping to try and TakeAThirdOption to avoid having to let Kurisu be killed; when she says that seeing Mayuri die so many times will destroy him, he notes that he's already gone numb to the experience. Possibly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]], though, since Kurisu at least doesn't believe he could still have a heart and not feel anything at all at the sight; thus, [[WhatTheHellHero she calls him out on it]].]]
