Chapter 315 Apologize to the Old Thief!

"Working Soldier... Is it John Titor?"
As someone who has been following "Steins;Gate" since the first episode, Green Eye's mind momentarily froze as the familiar ending song played in their ears.
There is no doubt that the two most mysterious characters in Stone Gate so far are John Titor and "fb" mentioned by Kiryuu Moeka.
Let's not talk about "fb" who appears late and has limited information.
When it comes to John Titor, even before "Steins;Gate" gained the widespread 'keen attention' it enjoys today, the Green Eye and some "Steins;Gate" fans had already discussed the true identity of this mysterious person.
Although it's just speculation, many opinions still resonate strongly.
First.
John Tito is a male.
This goes without saying, after all, the narrator reading John Tito's information is a male.
Second.
John Titor's other identity is very likely to be FB.
FB, who appears later and is equally mysterious, is inevitably linked to John Titor.
Lastly, and most importantly, is the third point that affects the majority's hidden impression of John Titor.
John Titor is a villain.
He confidently claims to be a time traveler appearing on the internet, mysteriously and never revealing his true identity. Moreover, upon learning about Okabe's ability to retain memories, he immediately manipulates Okabe into becoming some kind of "savior".
Just these two aspects are enough to make people doubt that John Tito is a major villain.
Green eyes think so, and so do the majority of people.
But what no one expected was...
The first viewpoint, which appeared to be the simplest and most confident, was overturned.
Greeye opened a group chat on her phone called "Stone Gate Condemns the Student Union."
After experiencing the turmoil of the previous week, as the least populous fan of the Emiya Family, I also rose up and established a small-scale denunciation association. I also invited Kuroko, the temporary online figure of the group, to join.
At this time, the group chat has already become a mess, just as Green Eyes imagined.
"John Tito is actually a working warrior, I'm so shocked!!!"
"The old thief must have done it on purpose. He actually set John Tito's voice-over as a male voice. Who could have expected that."
"I'm done, I'm completely done. Just now, I hurriedly rewatched the first few episodes that I recorded, specifically looking for the parts about John Titor. And you know what? They all freaking connect."
"Me too, I'm afraid many of you don't have much impression anymore. After the first exposure of eavesdropping on Okabe and others' conversation upstairs in The Working Warrior, she voluntarily mentioned a person named John Titor to Okabe."
"Hmph, I also found another place even more impressive. The first person to propose a 1% change rate across world lines was John Titor!"
"I'm completely dumbfounded by this episode. It's completely different from the previous one I watched, Steins;Gate. The convergence of world lines, the 1% change rate, the α and β, it's all really confusing to me."
"The theory of world lines is really powerful, and the Working Warrior has explained it very clearly. Using this method, it almost perfectly explains why Shiina Mayuri keeps experiencing unexpected deaths."
"To be honest, I never thought it would come full circle."
"Things are getting interesting now. Is the green-eyed boss still here? Come out and share your thoughts."
……
There are constantly people mentioning Green Eye in the group, but Green Eye's attention is starting to shift elsewhere.
Sure enough.
The entire discussion circle about Steins;Gate has completely exploded.
If today's broadcast time of "Steins;Gate" is taken as a dividing line, then before this dividing line, in ten online discussion posts, seven or eight of them are all criticizing Emiya.
And then...
Half discussing the plot itself, half is brushing off-
Emiya Thief, he's back!
"Me before the seventh episode aired: Pfft, trash! A crappy work that relies on killing off characters to force popularity! Me after the seventh episode aired: I'm sorry!"
"From Trash to Amazing Drama? In just one episode?"
"This episode has a taste of the peak period of the old thief (purely in terms of plot arrangement)."
"I have to say, it reminds me of the plot twist in Fate when Archer's true identity was revealed. Is the old thief really coming back?"
"Apologies! Apologize to Old Thief quickly!"
"To be honest, it's still too early to determine if it's a masterpiece, but based solely on this episode, it's enough to make the majority of people change their previous opinions. The power of the Old Thief is becoming more and more terrifying."
"Before the premiere of 'Shitou Gate', old thief said he wanted to create a sci-fi romance story. At first, I scoffed at it, but now... I didn't expect that the old thief would actually play a serious game, the theory of world lines really has something."
"Feeling after watching Episode 7: OMG, I didn't expect that plot to be a cliffhanger? Damn it! Although some of the loose ends were tied up, it feels like more and more loose ends are appearing!"
"The plot develops too quickly and is completely different from the previous five episodes in terms of style, but it's still enjoyable!"
"The feeling of unraveling each mystery by propelling the plot forward is indeed satisfying!"
"It's so refreshing, my Doodleloo, oh, finally you're saved!"
"As I said, in the next episode, the old thief will focus on that time machine, and rescuing Mayuri is just around the corner. If you don't believe it, let's debate!"
"After the worldview unfolds, I feel it is getting more and more difficult to grasp the direction of the plot. I always feel that the old thief will set traps in certain places. By the way, can the old thief handle the future plot developments?"
"To be honest, the seventh episode really made me look at Stone Gate with new eyes, and it could be considered a turning point in the evaluation of Stone Gate. However, how many more of these turning points can there be? When we consider all the episodes of Stone Gate together, it is just barely stepping out of the abyss of mediocrity and only touching the edge of excellence."
"Sigh, I originally planned to finish watching today's episode and stop following Stone Gate, but now it seems... I will continue watching!"
……
There is agreement, so there is doubt.
After all, the impressions left by Stone Gate over time cannot be completely erased by just one amazing episode.
But the same.
At least hope, or possibility, is there, isn't it?
From this moment on.
No one can make a definite judgment, whether the new sprouts emerging in the vast wilderness will wither quickly or grow vigorously, eventually turning the entire wilderness into a vibrant green grassland.
Green Eye thought of this.
The tightly closed eyes finally slowly open.
Open the computer and look at the words used to curse the thief Emiya in the post, thinking for a long time.
But in the end, Green Eye still didn't delete it, just left a new comment at the end of the post.
I'm sorry!
"However, despite the promise to continue, I still cannot acknowledge Steins Gate as a masterpiece at the moment, so this analysis post will continue until Steins Gate is completed."
"Emiya, allow me to witness once again if you can truly turn Steins Gate into a flawless masterpiece! If you succeed, I will kneel in front of Studio Ghibli's gate and apologize to you again!"
