“

I can't believe this... Why am I stuck here? What if I'm erased!? What the hell kind of game is this? This can't be right. Gaaah! I'm really stuck here? In Shibuya!?

„

“	Would you shut the hell up! I just met you. I don't like you. And I don't give a rat's ass if you think I'm rude!	„
	~ Neku to Shiki

“	And say what? I'm not opening up to anyone. Ever. Other people just hold me back. I can do things my own way.	„
	~ Neku to Shiki

“	I want to understand me, too... But I don't. I can't remember anything but my name. I woke up in the intersection with no clue how I got there, no clue why I'm part of this stupid Game. I don't know anything. Because I can't remember... anything.	„
	~ Neku opening up to Shiki

“	We'll make it. No matter what!	„
	~ Neku to Rhyme when doubting if they'd survive the game

“	How can I object? I still don't know anything about the UG... Or about myself... or the Reapers... All I do know is that these guys aren't my enemies.	„
	~ Neku's inner monologue about teaming up with Beat and Rhyme

“	Shibuya sucks. Who needs a town with this many people? All they do is get in the way and screech at each other. They're the REAL Noise. Wish I had a giant Mute button.	„
	~ Neku on the people of Shibuya

“	Shiki: Well... We're alone again. Think Beat'll be OK? Neku: Mr. Hanekoma's with him. He's fine. Shiki: But...he only had three minutes to live. Neku: So what were we supposed to do? Shiki: I don't know... Why couldn't we save Rhyme? Neku: Because we couldn't. That's how it was meant to be. Shiki: How can you just write her off like that!? Don't you care? Aren't you SAD!? We could have done something! Neku: Yeah? Like what? (Dammit...I feel like crap. This is just like that time... That time? What time? ...... I can't remember.) ...You see? See why teaming up is a dumb idea? Shiki: How dare you! You think NOT teaming up would have saved her? How can you be so COLD? Beat and Rhyme were our friends! What happened to her... We're all responsible! It was our fault, too... Neku: Then who needs 'em. Shiki: Huh? Neku: Who needs friends! They laugh and talk like idiots and pretend to agree with you-- so you end up caring about them...exposing yourself...getting HURT... Screw it! We're better off without them! You want people in your way? Dragging you down? I don't! And I never said we were friends. You did! Shiki: Neku! I am your friend. So is Rhyme-- Neku: Back off! No one's my friend. Least of all you. I just stay with you to survive. Shiki: Neku...How c-could you... You didn't feel anything when Rhyme was erased? Not even a little sad? That's inhuman... You're inhuman, Neku. No better than those Reapers!	„
	~ Neku and Shiki's argument after witnessing Rhyme being erased

“	Shiki: Rhyme said she didn't know what dreams are like. And now she never will... Neku, it's not fair. Neku: I know... I...I'm sad, too. We'll just have to live a little extra. For her sake.	„
	~ Neku to Shiki after talking about Rhyme's death

“	Shiki: I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't want to hear Eri talk about me. I was afraid. Neku: ...... Shiki: Eri told me something before I died. "You're not meant to be a designer," she said. I never had her talent... I guess she finally got fed up and-- Neku: Oh, would you cut the crap? Who ARE you? Shiki: Huh? Neku: You're you. You're not Eri. You'll never be Eri. You'll only ever be you. Shiki: But she's so much better-- Neku: Forget her! You need to live your own life. If she can do it, so can you. All that matters is that you try. Shiki: ...... Neku-- Neku: You're lucky you're jealous. It gives you something to shoot for. So... shoot. Shiki: ...... You're right. Thanks, Neku.	„
	~ Neku to Shiki after she nearly lost hope

“	Shiki: ...... I had no idea. I never knew she felt that way about me. Neku: Guess you two both need each other. Shiki: Neku... You think I'm OK the way I am? Neku: Hey, Shibuya's got room for all types. Who else is gonna make stuffed piggies? Shiki: He's a cat! Heh heh... Neku... I want to see Eri again. So we can be a team. I'm ready for a second chance! Neku: All right. Then whatever it takes... Let's win... Let's live. Just one more day!	„
	~ Neku to Shiki on their resolve to win the Reaper's Game

“

Neku: Game Master's just ahead... Shiki: Finally...the end is in sight. It's been crazy, huh? Our time in the UG. But I learned something about myself-- how lucky I was. I took each day for granted. Woke up, went to school, talked to Eri. Came home, ate, watched TV. Then conked right out. It was so... NORMAL, I never thought of it as living. But this week woke me up, made me feel more alive... than I ever did when I really was. Neku: ...... The best is still ahead. Once we win, and come back to life. Shiki: Yeah! Neku... Thanks for these last seven days. You're pretty good at this partner thing. Neku: Pfft... Save it for when we win, OK? ...Ready for the big boss? Shiki: You know it. Hey, if we make it through this... let's meet up in the RG. You, me, and Beat. You might not recognize me, so... I know! I'll bring Mr. Mew with me. We can be a team again! Neku: I'll...think it over. Shiki: Heh heh. OK. Let's finish this!

„

“	The scramble crossing... He expects me to just start over? What the hell were the last seven days for, then? ..... Fine. What's the mission? I'm not losing. Not now. Not a chance.	„
	~ Neku after waking up in the second week

“	I have to win! ...For her sake, and mine.	„
	~ Neku's resolve

“	Huff...huff... That was... me? Why was I passed out in Udagawa? And...why was that in HIS head!? (Udagawa... I can't remember... ! Wait! Was I dead? Did I... did I die in Udagawa? That would mean... He saw me die. He was there! Or... Maybe he did more than just watch.) ...... (One way to find out. But no... I can't just ask him. If that sparks some huge fight, I'm screwed. We need to work together to clear these missions. I can't afford to risk it. Still...he knows something.)	„
	~ Neku after scanning Joshua and seeing into his past

“	Neku: Hopefully the guy's place will take off. Joshua: I was thinking. "Something different"... Maybe everyone in Shibuya is here searching, struggling for a peek into their neighbor's worlds. When those neighbors change, they get scared, feel they have to change themselves-- even what makes them who they are. Neku: Right. You don't want to change, but you don't want to be left behind either. Joshua: Of course not. We can't go through life alone. We're part of a community. We have to live by its rules. And the move we connect with people, the trickier those rules get. Neku: Yeah, and the more people hold you back. Screw living in a world choked by rules. I'm living free. Like CAT. It's just easier on my own. Nobody else's baggage. Nobody else tying me down. ...People aren't meant to figure each other out. Joshua: My thoughts exactly. I'd rather just get rid of them. Neku: What? Joshua: Same as you, Neku. Those headphones you wear say it all. Neku: (Yeah, so what? I don't like other people. I've got no use for the next world over... so don't come barging in on mine. My own world's all I need... Unless...)	„
	~ Neku's core philosophy slowly being doubted by himself

“	Neku: Nobody deserves it most... Joshua: Hmm? Neku: (It's true... Everybody's got their own deal. Their own dreams. None of them outweighs the next...) Shibuya's full of all kinds of folks, huh? Joshua: Hee hee... Talk about your non sequiturs. Neku: Sorry... ...So how 'bout we check out that phone?	„
	~ Neku after his encounter with Nao and Sota

“	Please. I don't do groups. I never met anyone fun to be around.	„
	~ Neku to Joshua when asked if he hanged out in Udagawa with friends

“	Joshua: The UG is split into different areas. Shibuya's just one of them, just like it's only one part of the world at large. Each UG area has unique rules. You can't travel between them. Neku: Mr. H told you all that? Joshua: ...Oh, so you know about our conversations. Neku: ...... Joshua: As I was saying, every area has its own rules. They never meddle with each other. Sound familiar? Neku: That could apply to anyone. Joshua: Hee hee... Maybe so. As long as we all have our own worlds, people will never really understand each other. Neku: Right? They're them, and I'm me. Talking to them gets me nothing. I thought I'd never respected anyone, until I saw CAT's mural and discovered a new philosophy. Joshua: "Do what you want, how you want, when you want it," was it? Neku: Yeah. It blew me away. CAT was living the life I always wanted to, but never thought I could. "Finally, someone who gets me," I thought. Enjoying the moment's about freedom. I just need to do my own thing like CAT. Forget about other people and just enjoy my life... Joshua: Absolutely. Who needs other people's values? It's easier to just live by your own rules. Neku: Yeah... (But... I don't feel that way anymore. Since coming to the UG, reading people's minds-- Shibuya's full of people with just as many viewpoints. Mr. H said the world ends with me. To expand my world, I have to learn to look farther-- not write off other people's values as inferior. ...Maybe I had it backwards. Maybe I need to open up to really enjoy--) Joshua: Yoo-hoo? Neku? Neku: ...... Joshua: Well, we may be stuck in Shibuya. But you can still see a fair ways. Why do you suppose that is, Neku? Why show us what we can never reach? Neku: ...... Joshua: Hee hee. That mural you mentioned is up ahead, right? The signal's coming from that direction. Let's take a look.	„
	~ Neku as he starts doubting his philosophy on people

“	Neku: CAT's work all follow a single, consistent aesthetic. And he keeps the quality up. Most important (sic), his work speaks to people. Joshua: I see. Neku: That's tougher than it sounds. Joshua: Is it? I bet you'd have little trouble. Neku: Huh? Joshua: Use your Player Pin. Neku: What's this got to do with-- Joshua: If you know what people are thinking, it's easy to grab them. Neku: It... it would be an advantage. Joshua: Right. Why bother with talk? With sifting through the lies we all tell? You could talk till you're blue in the face and not hear the truth. And we all see things differently anyway. Neku: It's true. We're not mean to see eye to eye. (But... I dunno, maybe it's better that way. Sure, people don't think alike. We don't know what's going through the other guy's head. But we can TRY to find out, right? Expand our worlds through each other. Maybe that's a better way to go-- the real way to enjoy each moment.) Joshua: You OK, Neku? Neku: Yeah, I could try to be CAT with this pin. But why? Where's the enjoyment in that? I'd rather broaden my world my own way. Joshua: ...... Neku... Hee hee. Your face is priceless. Neku: Huh? (Who asked you!?)	„
	~ Neku's inner philosophy changing

“	Joshua: ...Whew. Lucky us, huh, Neku? Neku: Joshua... Was that true? You're alive? Joshua: ...... Cat's out of the bag. Yes, Neku. I'm playing the Game alive. Neku: You're... But how can... Joshua: There's a loophole to everything. Sneaking in means I don't have a Player Pin, but such is life. Neku: So you just-- Joshua: Please, it's not a big deal. We formed a valid pact. We're just like any other pair, Neku. Neku: ...No. Joshua: Hmm? I didn't catch that. Neku: No, we're not, you punk! How can you say you're the same as us? You're alive! You're here 'cause you want to be! Not us! I don't want to be here! I'm not playing the Game for kicks, dammit! Joshua: No, you're playing because you want to live again. You still get something out of this. Neku: You little bastard... Only what you TOOK from me! YOU killed me! Joshua: Aww, Neku. You said you didn't remember! You sneaky little thing. So what if I did? Neku: What!? Joshua: What if I am the one who killed you? You're going to do something about it?	„
	~ Neku after finding out Joshua is alive and he may be his killer

“	Neku: Augh!!! We were too late! They were right there, but... I couldn't do a thing. Joshua: We may be the last pair. Let's stay sharp. Neku: Friggin' Reapers! Joshua: Angry? Neku: Hell yes, I'm angry! Joshua: At least you're still in the Game. Neku: Yeah? What about the people who aren't? Screw the Game! These are people, not toys! Joshua: Why the sudden interest? I didn't think you cared about other Players. Neku: No... Joshua: No what? Neku: Sure, other Players are strangers. Not just Players. Everyone. I don't know who they are, where they're from, what they care about. But... since I came to the UG, I... I've talked with them a little. Got to know them a little. Felt them a little... Felt my world grow. Just a tiny, tiny bit. It's different now. They're not just some strangers. I can't shut them out like that. Joshua: My, my. This isn't like you at all. Well, just don't get your hopes up. You'll never really understand the people around you. Neku: Enjoy the moment. Joshua: Hmm? Neku: Enjoying your world means making it bigger. I finally get that. The world as one person sees it is tiny. You've gotta... gotta reach out to other people. Joshua: ...... Hee hee. Maybe so. Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves. It's possible. Now, are you ready? It looks like this mission's up to us.	„
	~ Neku's conversation with Joshua after realizing he does care about people

“	Neku: It... it was you? Joshua: Neku... Neku: You killed me... You stole my life! Minamimoto: Hmph. That's insignificant. Neku: What!? Minamimoto: I've had enough chatter. Come get derived. This time I'm eradicating you from my spatial coordinates! Drown in the sea of imaginary numbers!	„
	~ Neku learning that Sho Minamimoto was his actual killer

“	Neku: You used us! What did you do to Joshua? Megumi: Joshua is no more. Neku: No... Megumi: He took the brunt of Minamimoto's attack. Both boy and lion vanished. Nuked to oblivion, no doubt. Neku: Then he died... protecting me? Why would he do that? Megumi: He must have had some affection for you as a partner. Neku: ...... Megumi: He was a fool, though. No partner merits that kind of sacrifice. Neku: ...I did this. (I blamed him. He's gone because of me. I accused him of shooting me, but he was innocent! I made him feel like he owed me something. I didn't... I didn't trust him. My partner. I didn't even apologize. I'm the worst... I never told Joshua I'm sorry.)	„
	~ Neku upon realizing Joshua sacrificed himself

“	Here I go again... At least this time it really ends. ...... (Shiki's out. They made her my entry fee. Joshua, too. Took the bullet for me. Rhyme's gone. Noise got her. And Beat left to join the Reapers. One Player after another...gone. ...... I'm the only one of us left-- the only hope we have.	„
	~ Neku's resolve starting Week 3

“	Neku: Beat... You're definitely an idiot. A huge idiot. Beat: Whatchu say!? Neku: Why would you let your 'rents push you down like that? That's not the Beat I know. Don't go the distance for other people. Do it for yourself. Beat: Huh? Neku: Like you're doing right now. Just go as far as you can go. The "results" will come later. Right? Beat: Phones... Neku: I'm sorry about Rhyme. But what's done is done. Focus on the now. She wouldn't want you wasting energy on regret. Beat: ...... Neku: Why do you think she stuck by you? She knew you could do anything you put your mind to. Anyway... I'm lucky. How many idiots have the stones to screw over the Reapers and help the underdog? Beat: Neku... Neku: You're an idiot, so start acting like one. Don't you turn into a deep thinker on me... yo. Beat: ...... Pfft... Bwa ha ha! You said it, man! I ain't the sentimentious type! Aaaaaaight! I feel much better, yo! Jus' wait! I'm gonna send everybody home! Rhyme an' Shiki...an' that Joshua kid... an' of course YOU, man. Neku: All right, then.	„
	~ Neku to Beat after blaming himself for Rhyme

“

Shibuya's... solidifying? But this town's supposed to be about conflict. I know that now. I was afraid to clash, afraid to change. I didn't want to hear it. But Mr. H woke me up... and this is not Shibuya!

„

“

Huff...huff... That should... stop Shiki... I was right. It was the pin. The Composer-- Mr. H's pin. Hey! Beat! Wake up! Damn... He took the brunt of Shiki's attack. They're both out cold. Shiki, the Reapers, even Shibuya... How could Mr. H use them!? Why... It doesn't make any sense-- that I have to keep fighting like this! Dammit! ...... But I do have to ...Alone. Now...where's the Composer?

„

“

This graffiti... (I remember, Mr. H. Your art kept me going. Every piece seemed to shout, "Enjoy life!" And outside my headphones, the rest of the world heard it, too. It was fun just standing here, looking... When I found out you were CAT, man, I just shook. I mean, I knew you were different the second I met you. The things you said... Somehow, they just clicked. I thought I finally met a guy I could respect. And now look.........) But I won't falter anymore. You taught me better than that.

„

“

(Shiki... Beat... Joshua... Rhyme... Everybody. They got me this far. Now...) it's my fight.

„

“

This place... Come on out, Composer! Fight me! You want me to defeat you, right? Isn't that it!? Then show yourself! Show yourself and fight...Mr. H...

„

“	I'll never help you! Maybe living in your Shibuya WOULD be easier. Maybe. Except one problem-- it wouldn't be Shibuya! I was never good with people. I covered my ears and blocked them out. But you know what? If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away. Shibuya's full of people waiting for those moments, when we clash together and find something new. Here in the UG, I clashed. I changed. And now I know-- Shibuya should stay just as it is!	„
	~ Neku to Megumi

“	Same streets...Same crowds too. Yeah, Shibuya hasn't changed a bit. But still, I don't think I can forgive you yet. You don't see it, but... those few weeks were very hard for me. Learning to trust people; having that trust broken. Finding out the town I pegged as small, and stifling, and empty... wasn't any of those things. I'm glad I met you guys. You made me... pick up on things, I probably would've just gone on ignoring. Trust your partner... and I do. I can't forgive you, but I trust you. You took care of things, right? Otherwise, Shibuya would be gone and my world with it. Hey, did I mention? I've got friends now! We're meeting for the first time in a week. See you there?	„
	~ Neku's message to Joshua at the end of The World Ends With You

“	It won't be easy. And it might feel hopeless. But the fate of Shibuya is at stake. We've gotta try to save it from erasure. We're the only ones who can.	„
	~ Neku to Rindo and his party

“	Maybe not—not right away, at least. But are you gonna let that stop you? Good. After all, never know until you try. Things might even go better than you expect. Just gotta put your faith in that possibility and keep pushing forward. And isn't that what you've always done? Even when things looked bleak, you kept going. You kept fighting because you hoped things might turn out better if you did. You couldn't see a better future, but you believed in one—and that's what matters	„
	~ Neku to Rindo

“	Why are you here, anyway? Don't tell me you got yourself killed again.	„
	~ Neku to Beat

“	Me, too... Almost makes me wish everyone else was here. Yeah... If we make it out of this Game alive, we oughta have a reunion.	„
	~ Neku to Beat

Background

Neku Sakuraba (桜庭 音操 Sakuraba Neku) serves as the central protagonist and playable character in The World Ends with You.

In The World Ends with You, Neku awakens in Shibuya with no recollection of his past aside from his own name. He soon realizes he has been drawn into the Reapers' Game, a mysterious contest where he must partner with Shiki Misaki to endure its seven-day trial. As he navigates the challenges set before him, he gradually gains a fresh perspective on the world around him.

In NEO: The World Ends with You, Neku, now a renowned Legendary Player, resurfaces three years later, once again taking part in the Reapers' Game.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Neku Sakuraba’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Background Little is known about Neku's early life, though he mentions being born and raised in Shibuya. His birthdate is April 21st, likely sometime in the 1990s due to his age. In the This Day Ends with You! scenario, it is suggested that years before his death, Neku lost his best friend in a tragic accident. His friend was on the way to meet him at a mural when the incident occurred, leading Neku to blame himself. Overcome with grief and guilt, he resolved to avoid friendships, fearing they would only bring him down. While it remains unclear if this event took place in the main timeline, Neku's fragmented memories imply that the trauma lingered even after his amnesia, as he struggles to recall but still senses the emotional weight of the experience. In the main universe, Neku's interactions with others appear to have brought him pain, as hinted by Megumi Kitaniji. Kitaniji, who has the ability to manipulate memories, tells Neku, "What have your dealings with other people brought you? Only hurt," suggesting he may have seen Neku's past firsthand. As a result, Neku became increasingly isolated. Unbeknownst to him, Neku was chosen by Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu to act as his proxy in a test to determine whether Shibuya should continue to exist. Though not explicitly stated, it is implied that Joshua, who shares a distaste for humanity, sought to see if Neku—a human who also rejected others—could change and prove that humanity had potential. The Secret Reports describe Neku as possessing an exceptionally high level of Imagination, but also note that it is "discordant" and "unstable" due to "emotional confusion inhibiting the unity of his emotional self and physical body," likely a result of his past trauma. On the day of his death, Neku visited his favorite place in Shibuya, the CAT mural in Udagawa. This mural, created by Sanae Hanekoma as a mass imprinting site, was intended as a gathering point for those with high Imagination. However, Neku became caught in a gunfight between Joshua and Sho Minamimoto. After repelling Minamimoto, Joshua fatally shot Neku, marking the beginning of his entry into the Reapers' Game, where he was given an additional Player Pin. Week 1 On the first day, Neku wakes up at Scramble Crossing with no memory of how he arrived there. In his hand, he finds a Player Pin, which grants him the ability to hear others' thoughts. Shortly after receiving the day's mission to reach 104, he is attacked by frog-like creatures and is forced to flee. Unable to defend himself, he eventually encounters Shiki Misaki near the Statue of Hachiko. She coerces him into forming a pact, explaining that the creatures, called Noise, can only be fought by Players with pacts using abilities known as Psychs. After defeating the Noise, they proceed to 104, where they encounter Uzuki Yashiro, a Reaper who sends a Grizzly Noise to attack them. The attempt fails, leaving Neku frustrated and confused before he abruptly falls asleep. On the second day, Neku and Shiki wake up at the Station Underpass, tasked with clearing Noise to escape. Experimenting with various pins, Neku discovers he can use multiple Psychs, an extremely rare trait. Outside, they meet Beat and Rhyme, who discuss the Reapers' Game with Shiki. Neku remains distant, claiming he doesn't need anyone, which angers Beat, prompting him to leave with Rhyme. After completing their mission by purging the Noise from the Statue of Hachiko, Neku and Shiki encounter Uzuki again. She offers Neku an escape from the Game if he erases his partner, omitting that "escape" means erasure. Neku is manipulated into attacking Shiki but is stopped by Sanae Hanekoma, who intervenes just in time. Hanekoma stays briefly to give them advice on the Game and the use of the Fusion Pin. On the third day, the mission requires Players to defeat the master of A-East. Beat and Rhyme complete the task before Neku and Shiki arrive. Shiki invites them to team up, and remembering Hanekoma’s words, Neku reluctantly agrees on the condition they "stay out of his way." On the fourth day, Neku learns more about Shiki’s dreams and ambitions. While at Molco, he expresses irritation at having to follow fashion trends, and at one point, she adjusts his clothing to fix a button. Later, they are too late to save Rhyme from being erased. This loss deepens Neku’s emotional withdrawal, reinforcing his belief that friendships lead to pain. When Shiki confronts him for his lack of visible grief, he insists he doesn’t need or want friends, angering her. She calls him inhuman and no better than a Reaper. On the fifth day, Shiki apologizes for their argument. Their mission requires them to clear Noise from Spain Hill, which they accomplish by using imprinting and Reaper Creeper to resolve an argument between Mina and Ai. As they discuss friendship and deception, Neku admits he is saddened by Rhyme’s erasure, and they agree that she deserved better. The Game Master, Yodai Higashizawa, appears to taunt Shiki and reveals to Neku that he is dead, sending him into a panic as he struggles to recall his death. On the sixth day, Neku takes on a leadership role in their mission. When Shiki spots her friend Eri in Scramble Crossing, she runs off. Neku follows and learns the truth about her Entry Fee—her appearance. He reassures her, telling her she is fine the way she is and that she is lucky to have a friend worth admiring. This encouragement helps Shiki overcome her insecurity, strengthening her resolve to win the Game. On the seventh and final day, Neku, Shiki, and Beat are the last remaining Players. Their mission is to defeat the Game Master, Yodai Higashizawa. After learning that Beat intends to take on the Reapers alone, Neku and Shiki rush to help him. The two confront Higashizawa and successfully defeat him, completing the Game. Shortly after, they meet the Conductor, Megumi Kitaniji, and discover that Beat is still alive. Shiki is selected to return to life, but she protests, believing that Neku changed more and contributed the most. Kitaniji dismisses her objections, stating that the Composer's decision is final. Neku assures her they will meet again after he completes his next Reapers' Game. His original Entry Fee—his memories—is returned, though he still cannot recall his death. As the new Game begins, he is horrified to learn that his new Entry Fee is Shiki. Week 2 At the start of Week 2, Neku wakes up in Scramble Crossing and realizes he needs a partner. He heads to the Statue of Hachiko, hoping to meet someone, but is attacked by Noise. Joshua steps in, making a pact with Neku, and together they defeat the Noise. Neku quickly grows frustrated with Joshua’s introverted and negative attitude, but the two manage to reach 104 to complete their mission. There, they encounter Sho, the Game Master of the week, which adds significant mental strain to Neku during their interactions. On Day 2, Joshua suggests going to Cat Street, but Neku refuses, focused on finishing their mission. Neku participates in a Tin Pin Slammer tournament, losing, but they still manage to progress because another player, Sota Honjo, wins the tournament. By Day 3, Neku’s mission sends him to Cat Street, which he later realizes was a trick orchestrated by Joshua. He meets Hanekoma, who upgrades his phone. Later, Neku battles Beat, a Reaper. As the days go by, with no new missions from Minamimoto, Neku follows Joshua, who uses his upgraded phone to track down the Shibuya River. They also meet Sota and his partner Nao. During this time, Neku starts reading Joshua’s mind and uncovers some of his lost memories, leading him to believe that Joshua had killed him. On the fifth day, Neku confronts Joshua about this, and Joshua playfully asks what Neku would do if he were responsible for his death. On Day 6, Neku finally receives a mission and learns of an outbreak of Taboo Noise. He has the option to save some of the Reapers, including Uzuki and Kariya, from the Taboo Noise. Unfortunately, he fails to save Sota and Nao, who are erased by Noise. Their deaths provoke anger in Neku, and he begins to understand the importance of empathizing with others and their struggles. On the final day, Day 7, Neku and Joshua are tasked with defeating Minamimoto at Pork City. When they confront Minamimoto, Neku reads Joshua’s mind again and realizes that Joshua didn’t kill him but was instead trying to protect him from Minamimoto. After defeating Minamimoto, he launches a Level i Flare, and Joshua sacrifices himself by pushing Neku out of the way and taking the brunt of the blast. It’s later revealed that Joshua actually teleported to another world. Neku wins the game, but it is declared null and void by Kitaniji due to Joshua’s intervention. Neku is forced back into another game, with his entry fee carried over. This means Shiki’s life still hangs in the balance, along with a new entry fee for the next game. Week 3 On the first day of Week 2, Neku wakes up and rushes to the Statue of Hachiko, hoping to find a new partner. He soon realizes that his entry fee was the entire group of Players, leaving him to face certain erasure. Just as all seems lost, Beat, now a Reaper, rebels and forms a pact with Neku. Together, they reach 104 to complete their first mission from the new Game Master, Mitsuki Konishi. On Day 2, Konishi gives them a single mission for the week: to find and defeat her. Despite searching throughout the week, the two get sidetracked and can’t find Konishi. On Day 3, Uzuki takes over as Game Master for the day and challenges them to a game of tag. When she is tagged, Uzuki becomes enraged and fights them, but Kariya intervenes. On Day 4, Neku and Beat face Uzuki and Kariya together in battle and win a keypin as a reward. As the week progresses, they notice everyone in Shibuya is acting strangely, frozen and sharing the same thoughts. The two are attacked by brainwashed Reapers, including a corrupted Uzuki and Kariya. On the final day, Neku and Beat head to the Shibuya River, where Konishi appears from Beat’s shadow. After a battle, they defeat her, but the game is not over yet. Continuing through the river, Neku is stunned to find Shiki alive, as their entry fee was returned due to defeating the Game Master. The trio passes by Minamimoto’s body and enters the Dead God's Pad, where they meet Kitaniji, who brainwashes Shiki with an O-Pin and fights them. Neku and Beat fend off Shiki while battling Kitaniji, eventually defeating him. Neku saves Shiki by breaking her O-Pin, but both Shiki and Beat fall unconscious. Neku sets out to find the Composer, whom he believes to be Hanekoma. In a graffiti-filled area, Neku reflects on his newfound friendships. In the Room of Reckoning, Neku learns that Kitaniji has recovered and that the Composer has been absent. Kitaniji invites Neku to join him in his mission to “save” Shibuya, but Neku refuses, believing that people can grow and change through conflict. Shiki and Beat arrive to assist Neku in fighting Kitaniji, who transforms into his Noise form, Anguis Cantus. After their victory, Neku faces Joshua, who absorbs Neku’s three partners and prepares to fight him. Neku forms pacts with his partners and defeats Kitaniji in his final form, Draco Cantus. Following the battle, Neku learns the truth: Joshua did kill him, and the game between Joshua and Kitaniji was a twisted manipulation. Furious and betrayed, Neku confronts Joshua. Despite wanting to protect Shibuya, Neku can’t bring himself to shoot Joshua, ultimately letting himself be shot. However, Joshua spares Neku, admiring the trust Neku places in him. Neku wakes up in the Scramble Crossing, restored to life in the Realground, surrounded by a crowd. Confused, Neku realizes he was tricked into believing Shibuya would be erased, and Joshua had only said he would decide Shibuya’s fate, not destroy it. A week later, Neku walks through Shibuya, reflecting on how he has changed over the past weeks. He shares his thoughts on how difficult it was to learn to trust people and how that trust was broken. Neku is grateful for meeting everyone, which opened his mind to the world. He invites them to meet him at the Statue of Hachiko. Neku reunites with Beat and Rhyme, and later Shiki joins them, now free from Eri’s body. Though Joshua doesn’t appear in person, he watches from afar with Hanekoma on the rooftop of the 104 Building. Neku, now fully changed, takes off his headphones. A New Day Neku is mysteriously pulled back into the Underground alongside Beat as part of Expert Mode, tasked with escaping Shibuya. The two decide to team up once again. They quickly encounter the Reaper Coco, who Neku is wary of but reluctantly allows to follow them. As they progress, Neku grows suspicious of Expert Mode after meeting familiar faces like Shiki, Rhyme, Kariya, Uzuki, and Joshua. He notices that their behaviors are strange and out of character. Additionally, Neku begins experiencing unsettling visions of the near future, which he later discovers are tied to Tsugumi Matsunae. One of these visions involves Rhyme’s death, which Neku chooses to keep to himself. Unfortunately, this vision comes true, leading to Rhyme's erasure and Shiki's disappearance, leaving Neku devastated. Soon after meeting Joshua, Neku reaches out to Hanekoma, who urges him to visit WildKat. Upon arrival, Neku uncovers the truth: the Shibuya he is in is a pseudo-parallel world created by Coco, a vast Noise construct. Neku and Beat work together to defeat the Noise, escaping back to the Realground in Udagawa. Just as Neku reunites with Shiki, who calls to ask if he wants to go shopping for materials to fix Mr. Mew, Coco suddenly shoots and kills Neku in front of a shocked Beat. As Joshua arrives with a gun, Neku’s body begins to fade from existence, and Coco flees the scene. NEO: The World Ends With You (3 Years Later) After Coco shot Neku in A New Day, as a precautionary measure, Joshua sent Neku from Shibuya into Shinjuku during its purification, presumably to have him handle the situation there and keep him isolated and safe from those who would target him for his abilities. However, due to bad timing, Neku was transported just after Shinjuku was purified. Neku was unable to escape in this strange temporal space for about three years, and even Joshua's powers as an Angel could not rescue Neku. Neku described it as being stuck in a lonesome area with only the stray thoughts of people. In Shinjuku, Neku crossed paths with Coco and she explained she was only trying to recruit someone powerful to help save Tsugumi and Shinjuku from erasure. The two became friendlier and they investigated what was once Shinjuku. Coco made her way back to Shibuya a little earlier than Neku in order to check on Tsugumi and the rest of the city. Neku also heard that Shibuya was in trouble, prompting him to return. On the first day of Rindo's Reapers' Game, Hanekoma picked up vibes similar to those emitting from Shinjuku just before its purification, suggesting Neku was nearly finished on his journey back to Shibuya. Considering how Neku does not notice the Gatto Nero label on his jacket, this implies he obtained these clothes very recently, possibly from Coco. From the end of the first week up to the second day of Week 2, Beat is mistaken to be Neku due to his appearance being similar to Neku's own. Neku himself would make his true appearance on Week 3, Day 4, saving Beat and the rest of the Wicked Twisters from the Noise form of Sho Minamimoto (Leo Cantus Armo), to the shock of everyone there. Neku joins the Wicked Twisters thereafter. On Week 3, Day 5, it is revealed that Neku has now befriended Coco, as her goal was to save Shinjuku and Tsugumi Matsunae. Neku also reveals he’s been seeing the same visions as Rindo and it is discovered these visions were sent from Tsugumi using her psychic powers. On the Final Day, Rindo helps Neku meet up with Rhyme and Shiki, although neither can see or hear him as his existence is confined to the UG. In order to help save Shibuya, Neku has to sync with everyone in Shibuya. Neku helps the team defeat Phoenix Cantus. Neku has another talk with Joshua at Udagawa where they discuss Joshua's reasons for sending Neku to Shinjuku. Seeing how Neku wanted to return to the RG, Joshua used a sample from a parallel world where Neku never went to Shinjuku and instead lived peacefully in the RG for three years in order to modify the space and memories around Neku so that he may once again reside in the RG without issue. Afterwards, Neku proceeds to reunite with Shiki at the Statue of Hachiko after his three year absence.

Personality

• Introverted and Misanthropic: Neku begins his journey as a deeply introverted and misanthropic individual, often expressing a disdain for humanity. He views people as burdens and finds society's expectations and constant noise to be overwhelming. Neku prefers solitude, and his desire for peace leads him to block out the world with his headphones, using them as a barrier to avoid unwanted interactions. He believes that friends are nothing more than self-interested people who will eventually cause hurt, stemming from a past trauma where he lost his only friend.

• Inner Monologue: Neku constantly speaks to himself in his head, when solving puzzles, figuring out situations and questioning things, rarely ever talking to anyone else, as he journeys he slowly starts talking more.

• Against Lying: Neku is against lying, even if lying helps him, telling Shiki when two schoolgirls named Ai and Mina are having a fight that Ai needs to know the truth about what Mina is doing viewing lying as not right.

• Clever and Insightful: Despite his negative outlook, Neku is highly intelligent and resourceful. His quick thinking and creativity allow him to adapt to the challenges of the Reapers' Game, often surprising others with his insight. He has a sharp memory and can recall details others would overlook, such as complex mathematical equations or scientific knowledge, which showcases his intellect. His perceptiveness also helps him encourage his partners to be their best, even if his approach is blunt and rough around the edges.

• Gradual Growth and Empathy: As Neku progresses through the Reapers' Game, he slowly sheds his abrasive, isolated personality. Forced to listen to and understand those around him, Neku begins to open up and trust others, forming bonds with characters like Shiki, Beat, and Joshua. His journey teaches him the value of empathy and compassion, and he starts to care for others in a way that he never did before. By the end of his time in the Underground, Neku is a more selfless, compassionate young man, though his relationship with humanity remains complex.

• Complex Relationship with Humanity: While Neku grows to understand and care for those close to him, his feelings toward humanity as a whole remain ambiguous. He is still distrustful of people in general and views society as a nuisance, yet he acknowledges the importance of listening to others and being there for those he cares about. Neku ultimately becomes more merciful and willing to defend Shibuya, even if his sentiments toward people are not entirely positive. His experiences shape him into someone capable of compassion, but he retains a sense of detachment from the world at large.

Relationships

Shiki Misaki

Neku at first starts off as an overall jerk being a jerk to Shiki despite her trying to be nice to him, though he gets called out for how he's acting with her, ultimately admitting he needs to work together with her as a partner. As he starts talking to her more about her future ambitions, he learns how he didn't give her enough credit. After learning about the truth regarding her body, Shiki being scared to get a second chance fearing she'll come back to life just to be jealous of Eri all the time Neku confesses that he likes her the way she is. Later he talks her out of her funk telling her that she's her own person and to live for herself. Right before facing the Game Master they both have a small talk between each other where Shiki thanked him for the seven days claiming he was a pretty good partner asking to meet up with him in RG. Neku even ends up using her real name for the first time after they defeat Yodai Higashizawa. After re-awakening in the second week, Neku notes he has to now win this game for Shiki's sake and his. Their bond became so strong that once Shiki was decided to be the one to come back to RG, she protested against it claiming that Neku deserves to be the one to be brought back to life, with Neku telling Shiki that he'll be fine, convincing her to go back to the realground, with Neku promising to still be her friend even when he sees the real her. Neku's bond with Shiki is so strong that she becomes his new entry fee for the second week of the Reapers Game. Shiki also acts as an influence on Neku, being willing to hear someone out with their problems from remembering what Shiki told him about how people sometimes need a good listener.

Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu

Neku and Joshua's relationship starts off mixed with Joshua being condescending towards him, having no real care when he hears that Neku is fighting this hard to save Shiki. He also attempts to make Neku look stupid. Though during a chat they have after helping a small ramen shop, Joshua and Neku start to realize their ideologies match. During another conversation on how well Neku knows Udagawa, Joshua notes he and Neku seem to have a lot in common. Though this starts to fall apart when Neku looks into Joshua's mind and believes he killed him, later upon learning that Joshua is actually alive and went out of his way to enter the Reapers game, Neku lost it and started accusing him of being his killer with Joshua playfully teasing back that even if he did kill him, what can Neku do about it. However he learns on the final day of the second week that Joshua did not in fact kill him and instead shot at Sho Minamimoto who was trying to kill him, with Joshua even saving him from Sho Minamimoto's level i flare, taking the blast himself. This caused Neku to blame himself for Joshua's death. He goes on to make sure to win the games, noting that Joshua bought him this chance. It isn't until the last day that Neku learns the truth, that Joshua is actually the Composer who was playing a game with the Conductor over the fate of Shibuya where he was using Neku for his team killing Neku in order to use him as his proxy. With Neku' full of anger at Joshua, he suggests one last game where they fight in a gun duel and the winner gets to be composer and do whatever they like with Shibuya but even despite Joshua betraying him, Neku could not bring himself to kill a friend with this act of selflessness having Joshua decide to let Shibuya live. Neku later has an inner monologue where he notes he cannot forgive Joshua yet but he still views him as a friend and wants to meet up with him again. Later in NEO: The World Ends With You Neku and Joshua have a brief chat where Joshua notes he saved Neku after he was shot in A New Day with Neku with Neku not being fully convinced he did it fully out of the kindness of his heart and likely for an ulterior motive. It's also revealed in Secret Report No. 23 that Joshua appeared to Neku and the others to stabilize Neku's mind by reminding him he was there, showing Joshua does care about Neku.

Daisukenojo "Beat" Bito

Initially he was a jerk to them too due to his distrust of others, though after they saved him and Shiki he loosened up on them, confirming the Rhyme that they will make it through the game no matter what, and no longer viewing them as his enemies. Though after Rhyme's death, Beat became a Reaper in order to revive her, becoming Neku's enemy which saddened him, even with this Neku still protests against them fighting. Neku does figure out that Beat may have had a reason linked to Rhyme for joining the reapers. Beat later helps Neku as the Reapers play dirty making him the only player in the Reapers Game, forging a pact with him to help him out. Beat later reveals to Neku that he joined the Reapers in order to find a way to bring Rhyme back to normal with him begging Neku to help him save Rhyme with Neku telling him that she's his friend too so of course he's want to save her. Beat later opens up about how he and Rhyme died, blaming himself for her death with Neku reaffirming he's with him to save Rhyme. Beat on the final day affirms to Neku that he's no longer his partner, but his friend.

Raimu "Rhyme" Bito

Initially he was a jerk to them too due to his distrust of others, though after they saved him and Shiki he loosened up on them, confirming the Rhyme that they will make it through the game no matter what, and no longer viewing them as his enemies.

Sanae Hanekoma

Hanekoma is aware from the beginning that Neku serves as the Composer's proxy and offers guidance to help him endure the Game. He calls out Neku for how bad of a partner he's being to Shiki, nearly killing her, telling him that he needs to trust his partner, being one of the key reasons for Neku's great change over the next three weeks. He supports Neku by providing a harmonizer pin and various upgrades for his phone. When Neku learns that Hanekoma is CAT, his admiration for him grows, though he becomes conflicted due to clues implying Hanekoma might be the Composer of the Reapers' Game.

In Another Day, Neku and Hanekoma share a strong friendship, with Neku expressing that Hanekoma is "the only man that I respect." During the main story, Hanekoma observes Neku and "tests his abilities" by summoning Panthera Cantus. After Neku prevails, Hanekoma hints that the time when Neku will aid him is approaching sooner than expected. In the Tin Pin world, Hanekoma is unfamiliar to most except for Neku. When encountered at WildKat, he warns Neku against reading any Secret Reports, a sign of trust that further underscores their connection.

Nao & Sota Honjo

He had a brief encounter with the two where they cheered him up and told him that it isn't his fault for Shiki being taken as his entry fee, it just shows how much he truly cares for her.

Coco Atarashi

Although at first it's revealed Coco was attempting to kill Neku, it is later revealed she did this in order to enlist his help with the problems in Shinjuku, becoming good friends with her. Helping out with the Noise around the city as Neku and co. are getting ready to fight Shiba. The group even notes that Neku must be one of the only few people Coco trusts, where even complaining to him she listened to his request.

He refuses to open up to others as he views the just hold him back. However, he still refuses to do things like kill people for his own personal gain, only being coerced into doing it when he was tricked into thinking Shiki was a spy for the reapers and even then he still hesitated greatly)
• After Week One, Day Two: Chaotic Good (Understands more that he has to trust his partner and no longer views Beat or Rhyme as his enemies, though after Rhyme's death he blames himself and tries to cope by blaming it on trying at all to open up and have friends, calling friends something that makes you get hurt due to caring about them. He later admits he himself is sad too about Rhyme's death. Went out of his way to help out a Reaper being attacked by a taboo noise, being greatly saddened when he couldn't help the Reaper in time.

This extended even into the third week, where Neku's care for people had all of the Players become his entry fee as his resolve is to win this game for all the players.

Neku can take on an entire group of Reapers who have their Outlet Pins equipped where Outlet Pins enhance Reapers battle performance, making reapers dozens of times more powerful than usual. Reapers are considered far stronger than players where they can erase them in a second, with the idea of a player trying to fight them being laughable, meaning Neku has grown beyond even regular players in strength)

Notable Techniques

Cross Combos

Cross combos are attacks where Neku and his partner alternate attacks between each other. Cross combos cause the sync rate to rise, which once the SYNC reaches 100% the Fusion Pin can be utilized. Unleashing a powerful attack that hits all enemies at once. Cross Combos also act as a secret weapon against enemies that don't respond to normal attacks.

Other

Standard Tactics

• The World Ends With You: Neku will use pins that best fit the situation, along syncing up with his partner for an ultimate attack.
• NEO: The World Ends With You: Neku will employ similar strategies, being a far more experienced fighter and syncing up with his team for a massive groove attack.

Weaknesses

• Player Weaknesses
  • Original Game: Players are incapable of fighting the Noise without a partner, with the games first tutorial noting how Neku is defenseless and he just needs to run away, where players can only beat the Noise through forging a pact with another player, and using their pins. Players rely on the pins they're wearing to fight or they won't be able to attack foes in battle. Players have timers on their hand for how much time they have to complete task, which if they don't complete the task in time, they will be erased, though if they complete it, the timer will vanish. Players can also be saved by other players completing missions. Players can only visibly see Noise while scanning. Players can only imprint memes they have on their phone onto the target. Players that fail to win the game will face erasure and lose the thing they value most forever. Players can only live for seven minutes after their partner is erased. Players can not scan anyone wearing red skull pins. The psych manifestations of pins are determined by one's Imagination.
  • NEO Game: Some of the weaknesses are removed from the NEO Game, such as Player's being incapable of fighting the Noise without a partner, having timers on their hands for completing a task, and the erasure of their team members does not cause them to get erased. Though if player's points are too low, they will be erased at the end of the week.
• Pin Weaknesses: Pins need time to reboot after they are used, with some pins needing time to boot at the start of battle before they can be used. Pins only work when players are fighting against the Noise and special exceptions. Certain pins cannot be worn if the Player is not brave enough to wear it.
• Unique Pins Weaknesses: The Tin Pin Thirft places the wearer in mortal peril at the start of battle.
• Brand Weaknesses: Depending on the clothes one wears in an area in Shibuya if it matches with the popular brand chart, it will grant the player an attack bonus in combat, but on the flip side clothes matching the least popular brand will cause attack to fall. These brand charts can also raisse or lower the attack of all of its pins during combat.
• Phone Weaknesses: The Phone can only take three pictures of the past per day.
• Unique Weaknesses: Neku initially believes he can do everything himself, refusing help or partnership, having him nearly kill Shiki due to being tricked by a Reaper. Neku is suffering from amnesia and cannot remember anything other then his own name. Though these are all non-issues by the end of The World Ends With You.

Note

• Contrary to what some fans think, the events of Another Day did happen, they just take place in a separate world from the Main Story.

Trivia

• Neku's name is incidentally phonetically similar to the Japanese word for cat (猫(ねこ), neko), which may relate to the name of Neku's favorite designer, CAT.
  • Additionally, in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, the Japanese name of his Dream Eater is "Necho Cat."
• Neku's bright orange hair was designed for convenience, so the player could easily identify him in a crowd of pixelated characters.
  • In certain initial background concept artwork, he is shown with blond hair instead.

• In the Japanese version of the Secret Reports for Another Day and A New Day's Secret Addendum A, Neku is referred to as "The Chosen One" (選ばれし者, ebareshimono) by Hanekoma.
• At 5'4", 15-year-old Neku is the shortest out of all male characters with confirmed heights.
• Neku's birthday, April 21st, is the day before the North American release of TWEWY.
  • It is possible the 21st was chosen instead of the 22nd due to it being the 111th day of the year. This same repeating number sequence - known as an "angel number" - is found in Joshua's birthday, 11/1, a connection which may symbolize Neku's role as his proxy.
• Jesse David Corti once said Neku's story is of him becoming more open minded and going from invulnerable to vulnerable, especially regarding his emotions and personality and allowing himself to experience hurt and weakness. This contrasts many stories where protagonists start as vulnerable and become invulnerable. While many protagonists gain strength and abilities, Neku begins the game as a psych master and loses all of his psych abilities when he returns to the RG at the end of the game.
  • Neku also loses the distinction of being a psych master in NEO as any Player is capable of using any psych regardless of their psych level.
• According to Tatsuya Kando, Neku is a character who "prefers solidarity and isolates himself from the get-go", but still feels "a twinge of loneliness somewhere in his heart" and "maybe was always longing for some kind of interaction.".
• It is unknown whether or not Neku can utilize absolutely every pin, as some pins are not accessible to the game player, which includes the pins that Neku's Partners use.
• The fate of Neku's third entry fee (every other player in the third week) was not revealed.
• According to an interview with Tatsuya Kando, Tomohiro Hasegawa and Takeshi Arakawa in the original TWEWY Guidebook, Neku believed the city would be erased when he lost the final duel with Joshua. His realization that he was in the Realground and that Joshua tricked him is what prompted his cry of, "WHAT THE HELL!?"
• In the Japanese version of the game, Neku's nickname in Another Day is "Dark Blue."
• When Neku meets Shiki, she says "call me Shiki" and Neku thinks to himself, "I call this wack." Neku says this because in Japanese culture, calling people by their first name is seen as a sign of closeness and informality, and he is annoyed by how easily Shiki is trying to befriend him.
• Neku and Shiki placed seventh on Nintendo Power's list of gaming's top couples in their February 2011 issue.
• Neku's favorite brand is Jupiter of the Monkey, and Neku is quite fond of CAT. Jupiter of the Monkey's main store happens to be located on Cat Street nearby CAT's café, which ties Neku and Hanekoma together.

Neku's body by the graffiti.

• During the scene where Neku is killed, upon close inspection, the graffiti above Neku shows a skeleton dressed similarly to Neku, with what seems to be reddish hair, blue clothes and wearing blue headphones. The Neku-like skeleton is looking directly at Neku's body. Under the skeleton is an image of a bull made of bones, which may represent Shiki who is associated with the D+B brand and may also represent her death. To the left of the skeleton seems to be an abstract skull which may reference a Player Pin, and underneath, yellow art similar to the Thunderbolt pin (one of Neku's first pins) which may represent psychs. The section of the mural may foreshadow Neku's time in the Reapers' Game.
  • It should be noted that the skeleton depicted is also featured on Black Jupiter while the skull is part of the design for Black Mars. The same graffiti also appears in Trail of the Judged.
  • The graffiti was also created by CAT (Hanekoma), an Angel with special powers. It is mentioned in the Secret Reports that his art is "imbued" with "command codes" which can affect the subconsciousness of those who view it, suggesting that the art and Neku's situation may not be simple coincidence.
• In The Animation, Neku is left-handed.
• At the end of the main story, Neku discards his headphones. However, they are present again in A New Day. The headphones do not reappear on Neku's character design in NEO: The World Ends with You.
  • The inclusion of his headphones in A New Day was likely so that the developers did not need to create new assets of Neku without his headphones.
  • The headphones were a part of Neku's early character designs for NEO: The World Ends with You. They would have appeared around his neck.
• As of NEO: The World Ends With You, Neku's official color appears to be purple, the same color as several of his clothes and his phone. During the official TWEWY PR twitter account's character reveals, he is represented by the "headphone" (🎧) emoji.
• In NEO, one of Neku's result screen lines is a direct quote of Hanekoma in The Animation: "Teamwork makes the dream work."
• In a NEO guidebook, there were photos of Neku wearing his original outfit during battles, which does not appear in the final game. Putting the Legendary set on Neku does nothing.
• In the first DS version, Neku is still internally referred to within the game's code as "boy", since his name was not decided at the start of development.
• Neku coincidentally shares a battle quote with NEO's main protagonist Rindo that Neku says in the original game: when defeating a single Noise, Neku can say "Any last words?!" similar to Rindo, who says the same quote when doing so.
  • The same line was used by Neku in the original DS release, in which he would say this line upon catching a Puck with a 5x multiplier. This is most easily observed during the Final Boss battle or by using Holy Field.
• Neku was designed by Tetsuya Nomura in both games. In the NTWEWY Artbook from 2021, Nomura commented that "it was difficult to surpass Neku's first design from the original game". In other artworks, Neku's beta design has a whiter palette to it and has a zipper in his white jacket.

Explanations

The following is an explanation of the various status effects of The World Ends With You

Status Effects

Name Effect Immobility Immobility incapacitates the target, preventing any actions such as movement, attacking, or using pins, unless the pins are specifically designed to cure it. While immobilized, the target remains vulnerable to damage. It is symbolized by a white square with black lines. HP Drain HP Drain gradually reduces the target's HP as a percentage of their maximum health. This effect excludes Noise attacks intended to deplete HP, like those involving jelly grabs. The icon is a white square with circular shapes. Attack Break Attack Break cuts the target's offensive power in half. Several pins, such as Pavo Real's Poison Skull and Rapier Glance, Mus Rattus' Cornered Rat, and Hip Snake's Eyes Full of Hope and Eyes Full of Light, trigger this effect. It is represented by a white square featuring an 'A' inside a red arrow. Defense Break Defense Break reduces the target's defense by half. The icon used is a white square with a 'D' inside a blue arrow. Stun Stun, also known as "flinching," is a temporary status where the player or Noise cannot act for a brief moment after taking significant damage. Some Noise might be immune to this effect, while Neku and his allies will avoid flinching from minimal damage. Knock-Back Knock-Back is triggered when an attack causes the player or Noise to be pushed backward. Neku and his partner will likely fall to the ground, but Noise are only thrown backward. This effect is similar to Stun, but with the added movement. Airborne Airborne, or "knock-up," occurs when the player or a Noise is sent into the air by an attack. Neku and his partner will likely fall afterward, but Noise are only pushed back. This status can be exploited by Neku to juggle enemies.
