What was the point of this ending? I've heard there are

Also why did "japanese shaman girls" become a thing?

I believe it's either that Suzuha and Mayuri's time machine didn't make it properly back to the past and Okabe needs to find them to give them a working battery so they can actually complete Arclight, or after they complete Arclight they leave and since the computer has no power they can't control where and when they end up, so Okabe goes back to find them. The latter is the more likely option but I don't remember anything explicit.

It's funny and Leskinen is a funny guy.

Okay, that sounds reasonable. I won't go into questioning whether this plot string was necessary, because that would inevitably lead to whether 0 as a whole 0 is.

Well, this is more of a remnant from the Arclight drama CD since even there Suzuha mentions that their time machine is now uncontrollable after they jump after telling Mayuri to slap Okabe. It presumably ties into the whole 70 million years dream Okabe has in the original, since they mention the tracker has a limit of 70 million years for a reason.

They probably should have included the actual bits of Arclight in 0 so people would have an actually cohesive experience. 0 overall feels kind of half finished.

That is not ok.

>>152945060
why

It's the true ending everyone should have expected going into Zero. He records the video and then "dies" to prevent his memories from overwriting SG Okabe. If they explained how the ND-mail and worldline compression worked and included Operation Arclight in the V&A branch it would have been perfect.

Would've been better if they worked that stuff into the story instead of as last minute exposition.

>prevent his memories from overwriting SG Okabe

With the greater focus on neuroscience in 0 it feels like they could have made the rewriting a nonissue by backing up his memories regularly in the SG line, but it's probably for the best they kept it this way.

Then again, the Re-Awake scene was the perfect ending for V&A, including Operation Arclight after that scene might've ruin it a bit.
It would've been more suitable as an opening scene for the true end.
