The year is 2019. The setting is Tanegashima high school.Robotics;Notes follows Kaito Yashio, an avid fan of Fighting Games who is ranked fifth worldwide in the popular fighting game known as Kill-Ballad. Along with Akiho Senomiya, he is a member of his school's Robotics Club. The club's purpose is to complete a working copy of the Humongous Mecha Gunvarrel, the titular character of a wildly popular Show Within a Show anime, started by Akiho's sister, Misaki. However, keeping the robotics club afloat is not easy. Kaito and Akiho are the only members and Akiho makes extraordinary budget demands to the school. Thus, the vice-principal offers them a condition: they must win the Robo-One tournament to obtain the desired budget.Amidst their efforts to create a working Humongous Mecha for an upcoming expo, Kaito comes across Subaru Hidaka, a younger high school student who has his own fascination in mecha; Frau Koujiro, the Hikikomori genius programmer of Kill Ballad; Junna Daitoku, the granddaughter of the local robotic parts shop who's ironically nervous around robots; Nae Tennouji the young engineer of JAXA who provides funds for the club; and a human-like AI named Airi, who leads him to the mysterious Kimijima Reports that detail how and why a world-altering disaster may be on its way...The Sequel to Steins;Gate and third entry in the Science Adventure Series, the game was released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012. In typical visual novel fashion, the story features branching paths and Multiple Endings depending on the player's choices. Steins;Gate's Phone Trigger system is replaced by the Phonedroid Trigger, which activates Kaito's tablet computer, allowing the player to utilize its applications.Unlike previous Science Adventure entries which were stand alone stories, Robotics;Notes is very much a "culmination title", where there are MANY direct connections between its story and Chaos;Head + Steins;Gate. Several characters return both in the main story and otherwise (they are name dropped/sometimes talked to in Twipo if the latter), the science and several very important plot points from Chaos;Head are crucial to understanding the conspiracy behind Robotics;Notes, there are oodles of references to the events and key phrases that are heavily referenced from previous entries, and this game very much advances the overarching plot of the battle against the Committee of 300 that the entire series follows. This game should ideally be played only after the previous two Science Adventures, especially Chaos;Head in particular, or else you will likely be very lost on the late game story and fail to understand what is going on as you lack the proper context, and several plot points will feel like they come out of nowhere and are Deus Ex Machinas when in reality they are not.An animated adaptation by Production I.G began airing on Fuji Tv's noitaminA slot on October 2012, which can be seen on Funimation. Five manga have also been produced.Frau Koujiro also appears in Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds, a spin-off Beat 'em Up to the Fighting Game Phantom Breaker as the second special guest character via DLC, (The first one being Kurisu).Chaos;Child, the mainline entry follow up to Robotics;Notes and thematic sequel to Chaos;Head, was released on the Xbox One in December 2014.Meanwhile, a direct sequel to this entry, Robotics;Notes DaSH was announced in mid-2017 with Hashida Itaru/DaSH as the protagonist. It was released for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on February 2019.Spike Chunsoft announced in July 2019 that both titles will get an official release in the west for PlayStation 4, Switch and Steam around 2020. | |

Multiple Endings: Subverted. Most of the girls have an "ending", but it's really just canon chapters within the narrative that get credits when you complete them due to the route structure, the story doesn't actually there, it only ends once you reach the ending of Phase 12. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Kai refuses to tell Akiho about the conspiracy he's uncovering that's related to the dead colleague of her sister Misaki, and how Misaki and Mizuka both tell Kai to stop digging for the truth. Akiho probably would've been able to dissuade Kai from digging further if she'd known what was going on. But by the time the penultimate phase rolls around, Kai has unwittingly played into Kimijima's trap to spread misinformation to allow the Committee to execute their plan to kill most of humanity, and Misaki is forced to help as a result, leading to her nearly killing Kai and Aki at the expo. | |

Urban Legend of Zelda: In-Universe, as the wildly popular Gunvarrel anime (the Humongous Mecha anime that Akiho wants to build) has had no official ending for several years, even though it had a running of 155 episodes. It's ended up being wildly rumored that the anime itself had an ending, but the general fanbase was sad to see it end on such a Cliffhanger. | |

Conspiracy Thriller: The majority of the plot centers around the Committee's latest scheme to use Gunvarrel propaganda combined with solar storm misdirection to deceive the entire human population into immense confusion and fear as they launch their plan to send a black hole bomb into space which will kill most of humanity. | |

Adaptation Distillation: The anime adapts the original visual novel, which is a 50 hour story, into a 24 episode anime. Needless to say, it is forced to rush a lot of the second half of the story in order to fit the narrative into this time window, such as cutting out half of Frau and Junna's chapters. | |

Meaningful Echo: Whenever Kai flashes back to his time with Misaki, he remembers how everytime there was a Rocket lift off she would shout, "Go, Hot Dog, Go!", which he echoes in the bad ending where he has given up on his dreams like Misaki has, right before the world is about to end from a Black Hole Bomb being detonated above the Earth. Misaki mentions a few times in the story about Kai not having "The Right Stuff" to achieve his dream. In the true ending he says the same thing back to her as she struggles to break from Kimijima's control and avoid running away to stall for time for the missile to go off. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Phase 9, Kai downloads the seventh Kimijima Kou file, and decides to launch the executable file that came with it. This distributes the other 6 Kimijima Kou files to everyone on the planet using the IRUO system. It also puts Kimijima's Xanatos Gambit plan into action in which he planned to kill off five billion people on behalf of the Committee, through spreading mass misinformation about a solar storm to misdirect everyone from the true plan of killing most of humanity off with a black hole bomb. | |

Shared Universe | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_7fd142ef | comment |
Shared Universe: Robotics;Notes shares setting with its two predecessors: Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head. Phase 3 shows the return of Nae Tennouji from Steins;Gate If you pick the proper Twipo responses to Sister Centipede, come Phase 7 you can see the tweeps of one of Kai's new online friends that she introduces him to. This person is none other than Lightning-Fast Neidhardt, also known as Nishijou Takumi. Come Phases 8 and 9, if you follow the proper Twipo choices to the aforementioned person, you can also see the tweeps of DaSH and KuriGohanandKamehameha, who are Daru and Kurisu, respectively. In Phase 7, one of the subliminal images found in the final episode of Gunvarrel, include several images. Some of them range from the Mayans, Nuclear Explosions, but the key point of interest here is the Shibuya 107 Building, which is referencing how all of these incidents/places were related to former and current Committee of 300 conspiracies. In episode 14 of the anime, if you look closely enough, a poster of Seira can be seen in the background of Maguyan's room. Phase 11 has a slew of continuity nods to Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head, such as Nae's codename being "S. Braun" in the same vein as her father. SERN is mentioned to have experimented with black holes to the point of creating black hole bombs for the Committee of 300 as well as being mentioned to have attempted to create time machines in the past. And lastly, a N IV device becomes the focal point of this part of the story, which with Chaos;Head context as well as references in the text by Sawada is pretty clearly supposed to be Noah IV, a prototype of Nozomi's Noah illusion technology that was made after Noah II's destruction. Though it can only show illusions in people's minds using Electromagnetic Waves as the CODE samples from the Shibuya Conspiracy were lost during the events of the Shibuya quake. | |

Sudden Downer Ending | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_8124e7a6 | comment |
Sudden Downer Ending: An in-universe one occurs when the final episode of the Gunvarrel anime is leaked. All the robots sacrifice themselves to power a giant cannon that fires into the sun, causing a solar storm that not only kills the main villain, but all of humanity as well. One of the protagonists sacrifices herself to save her partner, who is left to wander the ruined Earth alone. Akiho reacts poorly to this ending. One of the bad endings in the visual novel is this. If Kai chooses to beat Aki at Kill Ballad at her lowest emotional moment in Phase 9, she rejects him and abandons him, which leads to them never finishing building Gunvarrel, and the Committee succeeds in launching the black hole bomb which proceeds to kill most of humanity. | |

Just Before the End: The characters point out how the Earth is currently experiencing abnormal weather, such as scorching hot winters in Russia and snowstorms in the American West Coast. Solar flares are also messing with electronics worldwide. Kimijima claims that this is because the Sun is about to cause a solar explosion on Earth, but it is later revealed claims of such were just elaborate, fake propaganda used by Kimijima to distract public attention from his true goal of sending a black hole bomb into space which would interact with the sun's odd patterns and create a psuedo solar storm that would wipe out most of humanity. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Phase 3 — Subaru's father shows up at the robotics club hangar and finds out that his son is still showing interest in the "toys" instead of taking over the family fishing business as he promised to two years earlier. He punches his son and slams Subaru's robot onto the ground. Though Akiho barely stops Subaru's father from stomping on it, Subaru tells her to dispose of it. The shock of watching Subaru being forced to abandon his dreams also triggers an "Elephant-Mouse Syndrome" attack on her as the episode ends. Phase 7 — A solar flare fries Tokyo, Frau's online account is hacked and claims to be the one making robots attack people in the already devastated city. Then Kaito finds her in the bathtub with a knife in her hand and preventing her from killing herself. Phase 9 — Irei is killed when her exoskeleton is hacked and forces her to walk off a cliff. Additionally, a strong gust of wind knocks Gunbuild 2 onto Subaru. Phase 11 — Kimijima Report No. 7 turns out to be a trap that distributes the other six reports to every computer on Earth, guaranteeing a worldwide panic. Also a result of the accident, where Gunbuild 2 fell onto Subaru, the principal is forced to disband the robot research club, and Subaru's father wants him to have nothing to do with his former clubmates, even though he realizes it was entirely accidental. Also Phase 11 — Senomiya Misaki moves to carry out Kou Kimijima's plan by shooting SERN-built black hole bombs into orbit and fiddling with the magnetic field of the earth, killing 5 billion people in the process. Sawada Toshiyuki tries to prevent this. Kimijima Kou uploads himself into the IROU network. Phase 12 — Kaito confesses to Akiho, Akiho kisses him. The two of them prep for the final battle. | |

Medium Blending | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_985795ab | comment |
Medium Blending: The anime uses three types of animation throughout: there's the standard anime style, the video game 3D style for Kill Ballad, and the 80s Anime style with touches of modernization for segments that have Gunvarrel. The blending comes in when the anime is able to render both game and the anime at the same time, which is rather tough to pull off but is performed spectacularly. | |

Chick Magnet: Subverted. While you would think Kai might be the brown haired bland main character that all of the girls fall for given the cast ratio, this isn't the case in the slightest. Most of the girls don't show romantic interest in him, the only ones that do are Airi (though hers is more in a little sister/big brother sort of way) and Akiho. This entry is ironically the least harem and fanservice heavy among all of the Science Adventure stories. | |

A Day in the Limelight | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Day in the Limelight: Most of the main characters in the cast get at least one of these. Junna gets one in Phase 6, which explores her past in great detail, explaining how she gained a fear of robots, as one of her grandfather's robots fell on her and crushed her as a child. It also focuses on the regret her grandfather experienced as a result of the accident. Frau gets hers in Phase 7, where she's forced to face most of the internet turning on her when the Committee gets someone to hack into her Twipo account and frame her for most of the robots in Tokyo suddenly going rogue and attacking people. Kai and Frau investigate further into the disappearance of her mother, and we also learn that said event is why Frau became a shut-in and worked so hard to create Kill-Ballad in the first place. Airi gets one in Phase 8, which reveals that she's actually an AI clone of the real Airi, who was a friend to Kou Kimijima and placed into frozen stasis to try and prevent her from succumbing to a terminal illness before a cure could be found. | |

Continuity Nod: Several Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head characters reappear, such as Nae working for JAXA undercover in order to monitor the conspiracy and do what she can to stop it. In Phase 1, a mysterious girl appears and says, "Whose eyes are those eyes?" Phase 11 has lots of them and they're plot relevant ! Such as the Noah IV, one of the prototypes of the Noah II machine that was the crux of ''Chaos;Head's'' story. According to the introduction, this takes place in the 1.048596% divergence. In one of the spinoff mangas, Frau is apparently online friends with Kurisu. Kai is also able to become online friends with DaSH , KuriGohanandKamehameha and Lightning-Fast Neidhardt. All which are the online handles of previous characters in the series. Frau likes to say "What eroge is this?" and "But I refuse!" as well as talk about DQ Ns, Chuunibyous and the like, which are all otaku heavy terms and phrases that Takumi would often talk about in Chaos;Head. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Even though Kaito and Akiho lose the hobby robot tournament and their bet with the vice principal, they point out that the winner, Subaru, is also a student in their school and blackmail him into saying he's part of the robotics club, so they still technically won. Subaru uses this against Kai as well; when Kai uses his usual dodge of demanding that someone beat him in Kill-Ballad before he does anything, Subaru simply continues challenging him to consecutive fights until he won, since there's no limit to the number of rounds specified. When Kai is given the conditions/flags to unlock the Kimijima reports, such as completing a lap in a certain amount of time at an out of business go kart track, he simply uploads a fake time as if he did race it, as there was no way he could realistically do it. In another, he's required to hit a bullseye at an archery target. However, the flag never specified how far away he has to be, so he shoots at it from a few feet away to ensure a bullseye. Another report requires him to put rocks on a shrine without them dropping off, and he tries with big rocks at first but fails. He later puts small pebbles on, and it still satisfies the flag since it technically never specified how big of a rock had to be placed on it. Akiho asks Kai to get Frau to help with the programming on the mecha's motor in Phase 7. He tells her he needs to be defeated in Kill Ballad first before he'll do it. Since she's terrible at the game, she gets Nae to defeat him instead. The only reason that Kai is able to stand a chance against Misaki is because of his Slo-mo, which he triggers consistently by sending Noah IV's electromagnetic waves into himself, which heavily damages him in the process. | |

Blood from the Mouth: Happens to Mizuka in Phase 9. After hearing the Kagome Kagome ringtone and answering the call, her augmented legs suddenly malfunctions and forces her to walk towards the cliff. Kai tries to stop her, but after forcefully knocking her down, the legs simply stand her back up at an alarmingly fast speed that cracks her spine. Due to the speed and torque in which it did, she spits up blood. Junna also has this in Phase 6, when it's shown that as a child she was nearly crushed to death by Robots falling on top of her. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Early on in the game, Misaki Senomiya shouts "Go, hot dog, go!" during the rocket launch. She also talks about Kai needing "The Right Stuff" here and there to achieve his dream, which he echoes back to her at the end of the game. The repeated exchange of Kaito asking for a Space Candy also seems to be a reference to The Right Stuff. To quote the movie itself:note Just like the Visual Novel, this exchange is repeated more than once. Aki constantly quotes Char Aznable whenever she puts her glasses on. The epigraph in the Robotics;Notes logo contains an Engrishy rendition of Invictus final line: When Frau joins the Robotics Club, Aki asks if she can call Kona Frau Bow. Speaking of Frau, as an Otaku, she uses the same sorts of memes that Takumi and Daru do. She can be constantly seen stating "But I refuse!". Daru on Twipo can be seen saying the "That's why we love you! That's why we admire you!" line to Takumi late in the game as another Jojo's reference. In episode 8 of the anime, Aki takes the Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive stance, and Subaru calls it the "Gendo Pose" by name. The game that Kaito plays during the storm has a logo that looks a lot like Street Fighter II. In episode 10, the Starship Enterprise make a cameo. In episode 11, when Kaito asks Kona to hack IRUO, she tells him that it's a hardcore thing to do, like hacking into SERN and stealing their data. Phase 1 shows that Misaki's e-mail address is misa_rx_78nt_1@delumail.jp. The Giant Robot "Achillesimo" at the expo in animé episode #18 is shown bending steel rods and is named after the famous hero from Greek Mythology with the bad heel, Achilles. He even has a kinda-ancient-greek helmet. One of the achievements in the game is called "UMISHO ga! Kimeta—!", a reference to this awesome moment in fighting games. Late into the game, it's stated that GunPro-1's internal batteries can only power it for five minutes. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared to the other three Science Adventure mainlines, this entry definitely has the lightest tone overall, with the first half of the story being mostly positive school life stuff about building robots and the Club getting together with some conspiracy intrigue. This is all turned on its head in the second half where the game goes out of its way to remind you this is a Science Adventure story, and we're treated to a lot of trauma, despair and sadness as the conspiracy begins to unfold and many people's lives are damaged in its wake. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Subaru asks this of Akiho after she turns down JAXA's support to build a working mecha, because they wanted her to start from over scratch, while she wanted to continue working on Gunbuild 1. He was being reasonable given that the club's attempt at a robot was terrible due to not being able to get the parts that the blueprints required, but Akiho wanted it done for mostly sentimental reasons, to finish her sister's work in the club. Junna experiences this from her grandfather after she accidentally causes one of his robots to fall on top of her, which also sets off her fear of robots. Akiho essentially asks this of her sister throughout the show, with Kai calling her out never replying back to her as well. Turns out her sister was actually doing Kimijima's bidding after she killed him, lest he leak out the information that she murdered him. This Black Mail works fantastically on Misaki, as she attempts to prevent Kai and Akiho from finding it out, though she nearly loses her sanity in the process. | |

Square-Cube Law | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_d4055b8b | comment |
Square-Cube Law: Discussed in-universe as the reason why building GunPro-1 is so impractical, and why building GunPro-2 will be even harder from scratch. Relatively early on it becomes extremely clear that the sort of Humongous Mecha you see in fiction wouldn't really work. The first version has to make the limbs extremely thick, ruining the aesthetic, and even with that much extra strength added it's barely able to get its foot off the ground. | |

Achilles' Power Cord: The GunPro-2 uses a laser power link precisely to avert it tripping at its own cable, inside an expo room packed with people. When it's installed on GunPro-1 for the final battle, the laser is mounted on a truck with a large reel of cable connecting it to the power grid. A near-miss flips the truck and severs the cable, leaving GunPro-1 with five minutes of battery power to deal with Misaki's mech. | |

Despair Event Horizon: Doc in Phase 6, after he gets sick and ends up in the hospital. He seriously considers closing his shop, but is ultimately convinced to keep it open after seeing the Robotics club fixes up his old robots, and more importantly, Junna is slowly working to overcome her fear of them, particularly the one that fell on top of her. He then regains his usual cranky demeanor, along with a renewed hope to carry on his work. Akiho faces this herself in Phase 12, when her sister goes on a rampage with a mech to destroy all of the robots at the Expo, including her own, and almost kills Akiho herself. She's forced to accept that her sister is on the wrong side and is actively working to kill most of humanity, and it cripples her emotionally for awhile before she's able to get over it. | |

| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_ed61457c | comment |
The Illuminati: The Committee of 300 who have control of most of the influential corporations world wide and have incognito spies everywhere. Their goal this time around is to deceive the world with propaganda about solar storms and Gunvarrel and throw them into a mass panic so they're unable to stop them from launching a black hole bomb into the atmosphere that will clash with the sun's rays and induce a psuedo solar storm that will kill most of humanity. | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: Akiho has no idea about the grand conspiracy unfolding throughout the events of the game because Kai intentionally refuses to tell her anything about his discoveries as he doesn't want her to worry. This comes to bite both of them in the butt later when Misaki's true colors are revealed and she nearly kills the both of them at the Robo Expo. | |

The Alleged Car | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Car: Well, it's technically a mecha, but evoked in Phase 4, when the Robotics Club attempts to move Gunbuild 1 for the first time. Though expectations from the audience is high, it ultimately barely takes a few steps forward after over 10 minutes before the engine breaks down. | |

Product Placement | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Aki only drinks Skal. Aki, Kai and Mitchie go to Wc D's in Phase 1, an obvious parody of McDonald's, and Aki even says "I'm lovin' it..." in her sleep while they're there. | |

Darkest Hour | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: Phase 11. Misaki went on a rampage to destroy the Robo Expo, injuring many people and destroying most of the robots there. Suddenly a Solar Storm appears to be ravaging the planet and affecting people from many parts of the world, and the Grand Obelisk from Gunvarrel's final episode appears. Kai and Aki are forced to accept the reality that Misaki is working for the Committee and that Kai was used as part of Kimijima's plan to try and destroy the world, as a rocket with a Black Hole Bomb is about to be launched into orbit which will kill 5 billion people, the majority of humanity. | |

Also Phase 11 — Senomiya Misaki moves to carry out Kou Kimijima's plan by shooting SERN-built black hole bombs into orbit and fiddling with the magnetic field of the earth, killing 5 billion people in the process. Sawada Toshiyuki tries to prevent this. Kimijima Kou uploads himself into the IROU network. | |

| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_fe5e40e2 | comment |
Gondor Calls for Aid: While Akiho didn't specifically request help beyond her club and a couple of adults who worked with her such as Doc, in Phase 12, most of the populace in Tanegashima arrive to help her and the Robotics Club rebuild Gunbuild 1 to stop Kou Kimijima from launching his weapon into space which would kill off most of humanity. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Robotics;Notes (Visual Novel) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Most of the main characters have one. Kaito and Akiho were involved in a mysterious event where they mysteriously fainted, and were then afflicted with debilitating medical conditions that can affect their perception of time. These have been dubbed as "Elephant-Mouse Syndrome": Kaito perceives several seconds as a few minutes, while Akiho perceives five minutes as a few seconds. Subaru has an abusive father who forbids him from getting involved with robotics and tries to force him to become a fisherman like him. Frau lives with the stigma of being the daughter of an accused murderer. Her mother allegedly killed the entire production crew of the Gunvarrel anime and then disappeared (It was revealed in episode #14, that it was actually self-defense, the other crew-members were brainwashed and tried to kill her). Jun was traumatized when one of the robots her grandfather built fell on top of her, resulting in her fear of robots and the belief that her grandfather hates her. Airi used to be a real girl who was afflicted with a terminal illness, and began to lose hope that she would ever be cured. She is then put into stasis to preserve her body until a cure could be found. | |
