The Okabe that everyone else in that world knows is completely gone, after all.

I wonder if each time they change the past, a new parallel universe is created. If that is not the case, Okabe has destroyed and created several universes already for the sake of his experiments.
I'm under the impression a new one is created, so he doesn't actually replace ("kill") any existing Okabes, because the newly created parallel timeline is created with his Reading Steiner included, so he was in from the beginning of the branching.

It'll be interesting to see what exactly changed this time. Assuming they ever find out.

They have certainly suggested she's a time traveller (or just crazy), but I wouldn't yet say she's Titor. In my opinion it'd be more relevant to know why she hates Assistant. Is it because Christinaaaaa possibly defects to CERN?

This show really has interesting characters. The story wouldn't work half as well if Okabe wasn't a Mad Scientist.
