Moeka Kills Mayuri (Steins;Gate)
Actually, These Are the Real Top 10 Anime Betrayals
Steins;Gate takes a while to pick up, especially during the first few episodes. Viewers are greeted with a maniac named Rintaro Okabe and his motley crew consisting of a sweet girl named Mayuri Shiina and hacker Itaru “Daru” Hashida. They start off with their plans for time traveling and tackling major conspiracies, but things begin to escalate when more of the cast finally trickles in.
One character, Moeka Kiryu, is a shy and absent-minded individual who often prefers to communicate with people via text messages. She decides to join in on Okabe’s plans to learn more about the phantom retro PC, the IBN 5100. Moeka’s constant obsession with the PC eventually lands her a spot in his crew as she becomes “Lab Member 005.” While she might have seemed like any other tech enthusiast, Moeka was actually trying to stop Okabe and his group from continuing their time machine project. In spite of her inconspicuous warnings, the group still completes their project and the team celebrates just before Moeka and a group of mercenaries bursts into their lab. Moeka then mercilessly shoots Mayuri, which pushes Okabe to start his emotionally taxing time-traveling adventure to save her.
