Robotics;Notes (TV).

As was explicitly shown those decoys were not visible to the naked eye. They only existed inside the computer that was sending the signal, and any computer that receives the signal. So the only way to see them is to receive the AR information feed. But how did the missiles even see the decoys in the first place if the missiles did not have access to the AR feed of the decoys that was being broadcasted? Because let me tell you, there's no reason for missiles to be receiving and accepting data feeds from an unknown, unverified broadcasting signal. This is a pet peeve of mine; for instance, Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex is also guilty of having hackable missiles despite no reason for them to even exist.

Why Japan?

Aren't there easier ways to rule the planet than design a black hole bomb? Couldn't they just manipulate the stock market and various governments like normal villains?

For military purposes being able to give infomration that is not physical can have a number of uses. Kou himself seemed to like the technology, probably because it allows various technology interact with each other and observe the physical world, many eyes can give a much more accurate depiction for the enviroment.

Kou's plan itself required him to be able to enter anything on the system, the system was flexible enough that he could scare someone into thinking that he is haunting which gave him a lot of power. By the same token it was arguablly his undoing. His virtual profile which they deleted was probably used to directly have administration so that actually hacking to alter it would be impossible, again his undoing. Administration account was on a seperate system and it just dissapeared so it had to change to guest.

The reason to use the place he did probably comes from a mix of reasons: it would have been too expensive to build his own rocket launch station and risk being drawing attention on top of his plan of causeing unrest. His control is probably best on the island he lived on that had no military, and he had the presidents daughter under his control which for reasons of logic gave him the upper hand.

Just smuggle the bomb into the country disguised as a comm satellite, and launch it on a regular rocket mission. No-one would be the wiser.

The VN doesn’t explain it that well either, but they’re from magnetic fields apparently from space. Odds are they’re from the sun or other flying bodies in space near Earth.

Just because SERN stopped work on the time machine and the black hole bombs doesn’t mean they’re not working with the committee still, odds are they’re working on something else.

The committee needed it to be near the sun or else they would end up killing more people than need be / it would ruin their plan also if the black hole went off on the surface of earth then the planet would be gone as well.

Considering SERN gave up with the time machine, the committee scrapped the first few NoAH projects and a few other things I don’t think they’ll be going with bombs and robots for their next plan.

Less people = easier to control. Remember how Suzuha said that a lot of the population had been killed off in her time, they can easily control people by force if there’s not enough to fight back. They had complete control and the people fighting back were few in numbers.

The committee already had control over SERN and a lot of other organizations, they control a lot but they either 1. Cover it up or 2. They need to get rid of the population like said before so they can control people better.

They used the rocket that was planned to be launched that day, remember how Nae said they needed to get the robot out of the space JAXA had. It was being used for that rocket.

He was the core of the IRU-O network, he was the one control the network, all the information going on and off of it and pretty much everything within the view of what the tablets and computers could see / do. That’s why they needed to switch the tablets over to a separate network so he couldn’t see them or attack them.

I'm not going to bother with the rest since a lot of it is paying attention to the early eps when they explained things or putting two and two together from the other Sciadv series.

Right, so a couple-dozen monopoles just happen to fall out of the sky right next to the only people trying to save the world. Do you know how f*cking stupid that is?

See, this annoyed me with Steins;Gate as well. Here we have a shadowy organisation that we never see, and they're left to continue on with another plan even though people know of their existence and what they've done. Isn't anyone going to try and take them out?

Okay, plausible.

They shouldn't have gone with a black hole bomb in the first place. A simple nuclear war would have been far easier to start and far easier to control than a black hole which might do who-knows what. But the plan to use a black hole bomb, though over-complicated, is still as valid as it was before, at least to SERN. No circumstances have changed. Why not just use a second bomb?

Those military robots look quite strong, I don't see why they'd just give up on them.

What's the point of controlling a ruined planet? Controlling an intact Earth is not too hard if you're as powerful as Kimijima made them out to be.

I just do not buy this idea that it's easier to control the planet if you plunge it into complete chaos by killing five-sevenths of its population and destroying goodness-only-knows how much industrial production. Simply the loss of food supply means that the survivors are not going to be easy to control, because they'll be too busy trying to find food. Instead of two hundred countries that are easily influenced by the massive power you already have, you are going to get tens of thousands of little groups that aren't so easily to manipulate - assuming you can even find them first given that you'll no longer have any satellites to scan the ground with.

The world is already chaotic, but ruining the planet is just going to make it more chaotic.

Like I said above, nuclear war gets rid of people just as easily and doesn't need a black hole bomb to work.

I don't remember being told that the rocket was scheduled for launch that day. I guess I'll have to go check. I am curious how they switched the payload with only hours to spare.

I get that he was the core of Iru-O and therefore they need to switch networks, this was obvious and we see them do it using stuff Sawada sent. But this does not address what I was saying about the launch program security, which is what you bloody quoted. He was the administrator of a password-protected account, he didn't need to continually monitor JAXA's computers to ensure no-one could gain access; they couldn't get access in the first place because of the password.

Are you going to address it or not?

Really? That's your answer to some of the massive plot holes that I posted? Geez man, that's moronic.

Nuclear war and intact planet do not go together. Sure, if you want to try and nuke 5/6th's of the population and still find a habitable place on the Earth, be my guest. Have fun living underground, if that.

The whole point of spreading the Kimijima reports as well was to spread the program to make it seem like everything was in Chaos. Remember what happened when Kai unlocked the last Kimijima report? There is your answer.

Alot of the questions you asked, were answered. I don't remember them off of the top of my head, and quite frankly, I don't have the time right now to go back and look up every little detail. Some points you make are true, but some of the things you are bringing up HAVE been answered in the series.

I've never played the game, which more than likely goes more into things, so I can't speak in that regard.

I also don't understand why people act like Stein's Gate was a harem show. It wasnt at all. In fact, the only person Kyouma was interested in romantically was Kurisu (at least in the anime, once again, never played the VN). Mayuri was a friend, Ferris was more for Daru, Moeka was not anyones interest, the same with Suzuha. Just because there is a group of female characters in a series doesn't automatically mean it is a harem. That logic is stupid.

So you are intimatly familiar with computers of 2019. You can say with certainty that an improvment in computer networking may introduce changes in general systems. That his plan was more secure the way it was, despite how it ended, and the explanation could be too complex to activly portray in the anime.
