Coupled with the defrosting happening in NEO, the sequel will be about him learning to see past it. Community Showcase More. Follow TV Tropes. You need to login to do this.

The mission is to defeat the Game Master, Yodai Higashizawa.
Upon learning that Beat is going to go after the Reapers alone, Neku and Shiki race to save him. The two meet Higashizawa, defeat him and win the Game. Afterwards, the two meet the Conductor Megumi Kitaniji and discover that Beat is still alive. Shiki is chosen to be revived, but she protests, saying Neku changed more than she did and that he solved most of the riddles.
Kitaniji informs them their wishes don't mean a damn compared to the wishes of the Composer. Neku tells her it's okay and they will meet once he completes his next Reapers' Game. Neku receives back his entry fee for the first week, his memories although notably lacking the memories of his death , and is told that he must compete in the game again to be given another chance at life.
He is then horrified to discover his new entry fee: Shiki. Neku wakes up in Scramble Crossing at the beginning of the week , and realizes he needs a partner. He goes to the Statue of Hachiko in hopes of meeting somebody, only to be attacked by Noise again.
Joshua makes a pact with Neku, and the two fight off the Noise. Neku is quickly irritated by Joshua's introverted and pessimistic behavior, but the two make it to to complete their mission.

They also introduce themselves to Sota and his partner Nao. Meanwhile, Neku reads Joshua's mind and discovers some of his lost memories, and is led to believe that Joshua killed him. At the end of the fifth day, Neku finally confronts his supposed killer, and Joshua hypothetically asks what Neku would do if it turned out he was killed by him.
On the sixth day , Neku finally receives another mission, and discovers an outbreak of Taboo Noise. He also tries to save Sota and Nao, but the two are erased by Noise. Sota and Nao's deaths causes Neku to become angry; Neku begins seeing the value in empathizing with "strangers" instead of dismissing their plights.
When the two confront Minamimoto, Neku reads Joshua's mind again and discovers that Joshua didn't really kill him, but tried to protect him from Minamimoto while he was alive. After defeating him, Minamimoto fires a Level i Flare at the two.
Joshua steps in front of the beam and sacrifices himself though it is later revealed he actually teleported to another world , and Neku wins the game. The game is considered null and void due to illegal intervention, and thus Neku is re-entered into another game.
Neku is also informed that his entry fee from the null game would be carried over to the next one, so Shiki's life would still hang in the balance in addition to a new entry fee for this third game. Upon waking up on the first day again, Neku rushes to the Statue of Hachiko in order to find a new partner.
He soon realizes that his final entry fee was the entire group of Players, leaving Neku to fend for himself, which all but ensures his loss and erasure. At the last minute, Beat, who is now a Reaper, rebels and makes a pact with Neku.

On the third day , Uzuki is made the Game Master for the day and plays tag with the two. When she is tagged, Uzuki gets angry and fights the duo before being stopped by Kariya. On the fourth day , the pair then fights Uzuki and Kariya as a team to receive a keypin. On the last few days, the two notice that everybody in Shibuya is sharing the same thoughts and have stopped moving.
They are attacked by several brainwashed Reapers and a brainwashed Uzuki and Kariya. On the final day , the pair goes to the Shibuya River , where Konishi appears from Beat's shadow. The pair fight and defeat her, but the game is not over yet, confusing them. Continuing through the Shibuya River, Neku is shocked to find Shiki alive again, his entry fee having been returned because they technically won the Reapers' Game by defeating the Game Master. The trio of youths pass by Minamimoto's body and into the Dead God's Pad.
Neku and Beat fend off Shiki while fighting Kitaniji and defeat him. Neku finds an area full of graffiti where he reminiscences on his friendships.
In the Room of Reckoning , Neku discovers Kitaniji has recuperated and learns the Composer has been absent for a while. Kitaniji questions Neku on whether or not he actually likes people and requests Neku join him in his cause to "save" Shibuya, but Neku disagrees with Kitaniji's methods, feeling that people clashing with each other can be a positive thing because they can grow and change.
After the battle, Neku encounters Joshua as Kitaniji absorbs Neku's three partners and prepares to fight Neku. Forming pacts with all three of his partners, Neku manages to defeat Kitaniji in his final form Draco Cantus. Afterward, Neku discovers that Joshua really did kill him and learns the truth about the game between Joshua and Kitaniji. Neku becomes furious at Joshua for killing him and breaking his trust. Joshua then takes Neku to a standoff, which will determine the fate of Shibuya.
While Neku wants to protect Shibuya, he cannot bring himself to shoot Joshua, whom he now trusts. Neku lets himself get shot by Joshua, supposedly sealing Neku's fate. Joshua, however, admires the trust that Neku holds in him and spares Shibuya. Neku wakes up in the Scramble Crossing, this time in the Realground and restored to life with a small crowd looking at the boy on the floor. Neku eventually stands up and screams, "Why This is because Neku was under the under the impression that the city would be erased because he lost and realized he was misled by Joshua once again, when Joshua only said that he would decide what to do with Shibuya, instead of erasing it.
A week later, Neku walks around Shibuya, addressing an absent Joshua about how he grew over the past few weeks and inviting him to meet at Hachiko. He meets with Beat and Rhyme at the Statue of Hachiko. A while later, Shiki joins the group as well. Joshua never appears proper at their meeting, but he watches them with Hanekoma on Building's rooftop.
Neku is seen finally taking off his headphones. In the parallel universe of This Day Ends with You , it is mentioned that Neku met Hanekoma when he was about years-old and this Neku already knows of Hanekoma's identity as CAT , but not much else. Neku would come in with clippings of images and say, "Do me like this! Neku amused himself with Tin Pin Slammer instead. In the present day, Neku competes in a Tin Pin tournament, when all of the players but him have their pins taken.
He decides to lie about losing his pins so he wouldn't be suspected. He then forms a team to find the missing pins. In Pork City, he finds Hanekoma ascending the tower. Deciding to follow him, Neku reflects on his long lost friend, who is revealed to have died in an accident. It is also revealed that he blames himself for that accident. Upon reaching the top, Neku meets the main world version of Hanekoma, who challenges him to a fight before leaving.
Neku and Beat decide to partner again. The two quickly meets the Reaper Coco who he does not entirely trust but still allows to follow them. All of which he notes act out of character. He also frequently receives visions of the near future. The origin of these visions are tied to Tsugumi Matsunae.

Madison Page is a normal lady who suddenly gets swept up in a murder case. Duck is a normal kid who has to live through a zombie outbreak. Alan Wake is a normal writer who has to deal with shadowy, dangerous creatures called Taken. If we look at them, all of these characters are actually normal people.
Neku, Faith, and Raz? Neku is a complete misanthrope, Faith is a big-time criminal, and Raz is a psychic. All of these six people are successful character designs. When the personality is abnormal, the visualization should match.
The real core of the issue is the personality of the characters we design. Consequentially, our players can experience the unique perspective of such an impossible person.
And in my opinion, that is the true power of narrative: the ability to bring one person into the mind of another. When we explore a wider range of characters than the standard fantasy cookie-cutter, we enrich our players that much further. And through that control, players can gain understanding. Big problems need small steps, so go Skullcandy!
Even if your headphones kind of suck. Vans realized that a lot of their repeat business was coming from skaters so they started showing up to events and purposefully creating that image when the truth is that if you spend a few hours a day doing tricks you need new shoes once a month. I realize this is an old post, but I ran across it and thought it was a very interesting read. Cosplay has become such as huge past time now, with everything from beginning to professional levels.
Beaked hood? Orange jumpsuit? Gravity-defying hair? Probably some Final Fantasy thing. Nice to see almost all of you, Tifa. Could you watch your damn sword, Pyramid Head? This just takes it to the next level. Interesting point, and I feel kind of weird about it. Cosplay is external, and designing characters for external reasons marketing, attractiveness, sexualization conflicts with designing characters for internal reasons history, personality, beliefs. Even today, we see a huge backlash of female characters being designed solely so they can participate in Gamergate wars, which means that they end up being cheap and shallow.
But on the other hand, personalities can be made to be crazy and flamboyant through their designs. Maybe Ciri could have been cooler if she had tattoos of glowing blue Elder Blood energy along her arms, or Geralt could a streak of off-color hair to represent a failed mutation he once went through.
Things that could make people look more interesting by exposing more of their internal characteristics rather than just tacking on cool clothes.
