I now welcome you to The World Ends With You, all so as It's a Wonderful World






Most of the gameplay focuses on finding clues and battling Noise. Battles consist of player-chosen encounters. The player may scan the area for fights at any time. (However, during parts of the game, while in scan mode there will be Noise that are aggressive and initiate battles that are unable to be escaped from). The game also features a very flexible difficulty curve. Players can influence item drop rates by altering the game's difficulty and the player's current level. Players can use Neku's mindreading abilities to hear people's thoughts by using the touch screen of the Nintendo DS. The game's combat system, called the "Stride Cross Battle System", uses both screens of the Nintendo DS. Neku has one of three partners, different in each chapter of the game. The player can freely choose which partner to use after finishing the game. The partner is displayed on the top screen, while Neku is displayed on the bottom. Battle actions take place simultaneously. The touch screen is used to move and attack with Neku, whose abilities depend on the pins equipped. On the top screen, movement can be controlled with the D-pad, which is also tapped for specific techniques. For left-handed players, the A,B,X and Y buttons can be used instead of the D-pad.

The game is divided into three chapters, "Shiki Chapter" (シキ編, Shiki-hen?), "Joshua Chapter" (ヨシュア編, Yoshua-hen?), and "Beat Chapter" (ビイト編, Biito-hen?). An extra story, "Another Day — This Day Ends with You!" (アナザーデイ ― すばらしきこの１日。, Anazā Dei ― Subarashiki Kono Ichinichi.?), is accessible after clearing the main game. A pin collection system allows players to use new abilities by collecting pins scattered throughout Shibuya, obtainable either through defeating Noise or purchasing them in stores. Different pins allow Neku to use a variety of abilities. Players can buy clothing and food for Neku and his partners in the stores located all across Shibuya, to increase their Brave points, offense and defense points, or synchronization percentage.

HP between Neku and his partner is shared, and when Neku and his partner lose all their HP during battle, the game is over. Early in the game the player is forced to continue the main game from the title screen, while later in the game the player is able to choose an action: retry the battle, retry the battle on Easy Mode, flee from battle (unavailable for key boss battles and when black Noise symbols are chosen for battle), or return to the title screen.

Players can also play a minigame named Tin Pin Slammer, a game similar to the Western marble game ringer. This is played by dragging and clashing pins to knock off the opponent's pin off the arena. Each pin has a different weight and special attacks.


Neku Sakuraba, an antisocial 15 year-old boy, wakes up in what seems to be the Shibuya shopping district of Tokyo, Japan. He opens his hand to realize he is holding a strange black pin, which allows him to read others' minds. His cellphone starts to ring in his pocket, and a text message appears: "Reach 104. You have 60 minutes. Fail, and face erasure. -The Reapers". After discovering he can't delete the message, a timer of 60 minutes imprints onto his right hand. Neku is in Shibuya to play the "Reapers' Game" (死神のゲーム, Shinigami no Gēmu?),[1] which spans a total of seven days. Neku is forced to form a pact with a girl named Shiki Misaki in order to avoid being stricken from existence.

The Reapers monitor the duo's actions and test them with dangerous and difficult tasks. In order to survive, Neku and Shiki have to defeat the ethereal, animal-like "Noise," physical manifestations of people's negative thoughts and feelings. Neku's psychic talents are essential not only to gather clues and hints from the people, but to also detect the Noise that sweep through the roads of Shibuya. During their week in Shibuya, Neku and Shiki run into other people who have become involved in the Reapers' Game, including two other Players named Beat and Rhyme, as well as a strange man named Sanae Hanekoma, who helps the Players. The Reapers come to explain that every Player in the Reapers' Game is dead, and if they win, they will earn a second chance at life. The game world, or "underground," exists in a parallel dimension to "real life." To enter the Game, each Player must pay an entry fee of their most prized possession, no matter what it is.

Upon winning the game with Shiki by defeating game master Yōdai Higashizawa, Neku falls victim to a "catch;" only one player is allowed to return to life. Neku allows Shiki to return to the RL, and recieves his memory in exchange for controlling the fate of the now-alive Shiki. He returns to the Game a second time, partnering with a mysterious and self-righteous boy named Yoshiya Kiryū, or Joshua for short. The new game master, Sho Minamimoto, goes rogue and attempts to kill reapers and players alike by releasing a more powerful type of Noise. Nevertheless, the team manages to infiltrate Minamimoto's base and defeat him, causing him to seemingly self-destruct along with Joshua. Neku is forced to play for a third week, since the previous Game was null and void.

During the third and final week, all the players are erased, giving Neku no chance at survival. He narrowly manages to avoid death by teaming up with Beat, who had become a Reaper to avoid erasure. They come into contact with a resurrected Minamimoto, who attempts to kill the Conductor, Megumi Kitaniji, but fails. After defeating the third game master, Mitsuki Konishi, they destroy Kitaniji's ultimate form, freeing Joshua, who has come back to life as well. However, Joshua turns out to be the Composer in disguise, and reveals that he was the one who killed Neku. After challenging Neku to a gun duel for Composer status, Neku cannot bring himself to fire and is returned to the real world, with everything set right.







Neku Sakuraba

Neku is a detached, introspective, apathetic and rather dictatorial boy who is forced to play the game. At first glance, Neku is antisocial to the degree of wishing to be the only person in the world, distrustful of others, and not wanting to stick his neck out for others. His hobbies include listening to music and creating stylized graffiti. His unwanted nickname is "Phones" because of his earphone head piece. When Neku wakes up in Shibuya streets, he realizes that he has amnesia and is unable to remember how or why he is there. He slowly starts to open up to people and regains his memory during the second week. He is able to dish out attacks by using a series of pins, which can be leveled up by acquiring Pin Points (BP for "Badge Points" in the Japanese version), which can be separated in three categories, battle Pin Points (BPP), Shutdown Pin Points (SDPP), and Mingle Pin Points (MPP)(Access Badge Points (ABP) in the Japanese version). He is voiced by Kōki Uchiyama in the Japanese version and Jesse David Corti in the English version.

As the story progresses, it is revealed that his memory was his entrance fee. Because only the partner with the higher score is given the second chance at life, in this particular game, it is up to the composer how many can be revived per game, Neku must play the game again. Since the most important thing to him became Shiki, she becomes his entrance fee. His memory is eventually returned, but he still cannot remember how he died. During his second time playing the game, he partners up with Joshua and wins. By reading Joshua's mind, Neku is able to slowly regain the memory of his death. He learns that he died in Udagawa in front of a wall with a CAT graffiti and, by reading Joshua's mind again, he recalls Joshua running towards him while holding a gun. During Neku's final meeting with Sho, Neku recovers all his memories; he discovers that Joshua shot Sho,who then shot Neku. During the third game, Neku defeats the Conductor and Joshua returns Neku's memory, revealing that it was Joshua who killed him.



Shiki Misaki

Shiki is a stylish girl who makes a contract with Neku. She is outspoken and can easily befriend others. She has an avid interest in the latest fashions, and had a dream to become fashion designer. Shiki keeps a photo of her best friend, Eri, and herself on her cellphone and looks at it frequently. Her fighting style involves magic attacks; her actions in battle are executed by a stuffed toy cat named Mr. Mew that she carries with her everywhere. Like Neku, Shiki can use psychs, which she uses to control Mr. Mew during battle. She earns fusion stars by matching up symbols on cards whilst fighting. Earning enough fusion stars allows Neku and his partner to pull off a fusion attack that damages all enemies. She is voiced by Anna Hachimine in the Japanese version and Heather Hogan in the English version.

To play the Reapers' Game, Shiki's entrance fee was herself; she gave up her own appearance and took on the appearance of Eri, who Shiki envied. When she wins the game with Neku, she becomes Neku's entrance fee during the second time he plays and then disappears to an unknown location. Shiki ends up meeting up with Neku and Beat at the Shibuya River and is seen with them in the credits in her original appearance in the end. She appears to be a girl with short brown hair and glasses. Mr. Mew is still with her, and possibly still moving on his own.



Yoshiya Kiryū (Joshua)

Yoshiya is a mysterious and self-confident boy who acts quite friendly with Neku, even at their first meeting. Instead of his given name, he prefers to call himself Joshua (ヨシュア, Yoshua?) which according to him, was the nickname given to him by his parents. A clever and fast thinker, he has suspicious motives. He knows a lot more about the Reapers' Game than he lets on. In battle, he uses arrow combinations much like Shiki, but instead he uses a cell phone to type out number combinations that let him attack the Noise. By inputting numbers that are greater than, lower than or equal to the number shown above, he'll earn fusion stars. He is voiced by Ryohei Kimura in the Japanese version and Aaron Spann in the English version.

Later in the story, Joshua is revealed to be "alive" because he has too much power to be normal. He is later able to fly, teleport, and summon holy ray of blue light to attack Noise. He pushes Neku out of the way when Sho tries to self destruct and is thus presumed dead. Joshua appears again in Neku's battle against the Conductor, Megumi Kitaniji, where after his defeat, reveals not only that he is the Composer but also confirms to be Neku's true murderer. Joshua had been bent on destroying Shibuya and its people while the Conductor had been trying to change his mind, so together they made game to see if Shibuya deserve to exist or not. Joshua then challenges the deceived Neku in a gun duel for the right to be the Composer. Unable to shoot Joshua, Neku got shot.

As the composer he institutes the entry fee rule as a way for players to look at themselves. To live without what they prize most would force them to take a hard look at themselves to see why they prize it and hopefully help them grow. As Neku, Shiki, and Beat show it works, though the results may differ. Neku prized his identity (note this is not to be confused with Shiki's appearance being the most important thing) the most and without most of his memory that would be gone. Because of all of that he began to grow greatly and open up to people more in the first week. Shiki prized her appearance subconiciously not realizing it that she was jealous orginally realizing this will allow her to be more honest with herself and be more selfconfident in her sowing. Beat prized Rhyme's feelings for him the most resulted in him becoming a more protective brother, as shown by the credits. But even with all this, it shows that Joshua himself thought Shibuya to be going into a downward spiral itself, and as long as the entry fee exists he will probally pull the game for Shibuya's future again, Neku doesn't forgive him, but he still trust him in the credits.



Daisukenojō Bitō (Beat)

Daisukenojō is a muscular and aggressive boy who wears contemporary street clothes and acts overprotective of his younger sister Rhyme. He is nicknamed Beat (ビイト, Biito?). He is hot-headed and stubborn and his reasons for coming to Shibuya are a mystery. Fighting as Beat entails a similar technique to Shiki and Joshua; however, one must match up card combinations to defeat enemies. By selecting a skull in the combo map, he will earn fusion stars for each pair at the top. However, if the top set of cards reaches the flames at the side, Beat will be damaged himself. He is voiced by Subaru Kimura in the Japanese version and Crawford Wilson in the English version.

Beat eventually reveals that he once was patient and good in school, but gave up due to his parents' nagging. He fought with his parents frequently, but loved Rhyme dearly. One day when he left home because of a fight with his parents and Rhyme tagged along. Both of them are hit by a car. His entrance fee for the Reapers' Game was Rhyme's memory of him. He joins the Reapers to search of clues on resurrecting Rhyme, now in form of a flying squirrel Noise. In the third week, Beat quits from being a Reaper and made a pact with Neku. Now he aims to defeat the Composer and take its place, so that not only to save Rhyme but to save everyone else who is involved in the game.



Raimu Bitō (Rhyme)

Raimu is a young and optimistic girl who never leaves her older brother Beat's side and acts as the voice of reason to counter him. Her nickname is Rhyme (ライム, Raimu?). She is a very bright and cheery person, and is an all-out earnest girl. Neku initially mistakes her for a boy because of her androgynous appearance. She is not a playable character, but her Noise form can appear in battle by using a summoning pin for Neku. She is voiced by Hitomi Nabatame in the Japanese version and Kate Higgins in the English version.

Later on, she is killed by a Noise when she pushes Beat out of the way. She disappears, and all that remains is her bell. Hanekoma gathers her soul and puts it in a pin and gives it to Beat, which allows him to live in the UG even without a partner. After Beat joins the Reapers, Rhyme re-appears as a Noise, in form of a flying squirrel. Her entrance fee to play the Reapers' Game is unknown, though it is strongly suggested that it was her dreams and goals; Konishi even goes as far to say that her entrance fee was her love for Beat. In the end after 7 days, Rhyme gets her body back again.





Megumi Kitaniji

Megumi is the Conductor of the Reapers' Game. He carries out the will of the game's Composer and determines the winner of each game. He has black hair and a goatee, and always seems to be wearing sunglasses, giving him the nickname "Shades." He wears a pair of red headphones like Neku's around his neck, and dresses in an 80s fashioned dark snake-skin suit. With a constant smile on his face, he always looks somewhat cheery and playful. He is voiced by Hiroshi Shirokumi in the Japanese version. Megumi has 30 days to defeat the Game's Chosen One and "save" Shibuya. In battle, he utilizes Noise-type attacks which resemble snakes and his Noise form is a cobra. After intergrating with Joshua, Shiki and Beat to serve as power sources, Megumi becomes a multi-headed chinese dragon.



Shō Minamimoto

Sho is a dark skinned man with yellow eyes and violet-ash hair who dresses in trendy black clothing with a red bandana underneath his cap, and becomes the gamemaster in Chapter 2. He is very intelligent, with an obsession for mathematics and building pillars of junk, but also has an even more violent, cruel and heartless side to him. He is one of the highest ranking members, as well as the most successful, but at times acts as a messenger despite his ambition to one day become the Composer of the Game. His favourite word is "zetta," which is a mathematical term equal to 1000 to the seventh power, and he uses it as a modifier, e.g. "So zetta slow!". In battle, he uses various dark-energy techniques themed with different math concepts. His Noise form is a bipedal lion. He is voiced by Takayuki Fujimoto.

Once he is defeated by Neku, he self-destructs to save himself. Because of that technique and the sigil he leaves behind, he was able to be reborn with a taboo body. He becomes much more powerful and goes to Shibuya River in an attempt to defeat the Composter. When Neku arrives, Sho is defeated and buried about his pillar of junk. If he is examined, Neku will take his hat as an equipment.



Mitsuki Konishi

A trendy beauty with glasses and the Gamemaster during Beat Chapter. She is one of the highest ranking members, and orders the others around. She usually speaks in a formal and polite manner, even with lower-ranking members. Her passive-aggressive behavior earned her the nickname "Iron Maiden." She would betray anyone for her own goals and always chooses the stronger side. Her Noise form is a winged tigress. She is voiced by Hitomi Nabatame in the Japanese version and Lara Cody in the English version.

The mission she gives to Neku and Beat is a game of hide and seek; it is discovered that she is hiding in Beat's shadow. Once she opens the barrier to the Composer, she fights Neku and Beat to buy time for Sho to try and become the Composer.



Kōki Kariya

Kariya is an orange-haired, bespectacled young man, always holding a lollipop and wearing a skeleton-themed outfit. He is quite cocky, but is in a sense a "brother" figure and reminds Uzuki of rational things to do at times. He is often seen hanging around with Uzuki Yashiro. He is voiced by Anri Katsu in the Japanese version and Andrew Kishino in the English version.

Kariya has been offered promotions many times, but he always refuses. It is possible he is the strongest harrier Reaper in the Game, but he prefers working hands-on in the field to the hassles of working as an executive capacity.



Uzuki Yashiro

Yashiro is a mauve-haired, seductive young woman who is the first of the Reapers that Neku encounters. She seems to be something of an overactive scatterbrain and ditz. While she acts high and mighty before Neku, she is in fact quite a low-ranked member of the organization and has only been in it for two years. In battle she utilizes a gun that shoots energy bullets. She is voiced by Hitomi Arai in the Japanese version and Kate Higgins in the English version.

Her goal is to get promoted. She fights Neku during Beat's chapter twice, first alone and then with Kariya. After she loses twice, Kariya points out to her she has no reason to be promoted and that they should remain fielders to enjoy their life, demonstrating that more work would not benefit them anyway. She and Kariya are later brainwashed by the red pin and attack Neku, only to lose again. At the end of the game, they are both still alive.



Yōdai Higashizawa

Higashizawa is a dreadlocked giant with one glowing yellow eye, and the Gamemaster during Shiki Chapter. He takes great pride in his overwhelming strength and ability to split the ground in two. He also speaks with constant references to food. He has a soft side among the group, as he gets very emotional very quickly. His Noise form is a giant, bipedal goat with wings. He is voiced by Kenji Takahashi.



The music is a big part of the game, and its nice to listen to it ^-^

The music in the game is composed and produced by Takeharu Ishimoto. It includes a large variety of music with an influence of hip hop and electronica. The main theme of the game is "Lullaby For You" by Japanese pop artist, Jyongri. Various vocal artists featured in the game include:

SAWA
Makiko Noda
Leah
Ayuko Tanaka
Mai Matsuda
WAKAKO
Hanaeryca
Cameron Strother
Andy Kinlay
Nurlie Nurly
Londeil "Taz" Hicks

The official soundtrack of the game was released in Japan on August 22, 2007 and is on sale in the English-language iTunes Store. A physical CD format of the soundtrack is available for purchase on the Square Enix North American E-Store for the price of $16.99 USD. The soundtrack, however, does not include four tracks unique to localizations outside Japan, due to the CD's sold in North America being imports of the Japanese CD.
