Talk:Neku Sakuraba
From The World Ends With You
Since when does Neku use Psychomancy? I thought that was Shiki. Skulls 23:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- If Neku didn't use psychomancy, then he wouldn't be able to use any of the pin's psychs and would consequently be erased on Week 1, Day 1.
- Shiki primarily attacks through limited use of Psychokinesis, which involves her manipulating a certain stuffed
pigcat for everyone's general amusement.
- Neku also uses Psychokinesis on occasion, but he uses it to throw things like cars around instead. Tessara 01:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neku's spoken quotes
I need to know about some lines Neku say and, since I'm not a native english speaker, I'm missing. What does Neku says at the end of a combo? And when he doesn't like some food, something like "Bass"? Thank you for your time. 83.45.178.91 00:30, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- I believe after eating something he doesn't like, he says "Gross". I don't have access to my DS atm, so I cannot verify it nor anything else. Synchroblst 21:50, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- No, he says "Ugh, Pass" when you give him something he doesn't like. Klowd1661 20:03, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- Eating comments have already been noted here: Food#Effects. As for ending combos, I think Neku can say several things and I can't even make out some of them. Silktail 23:52, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- The combo line I'm interested, he says something like "Baiken". IlDucci 13:59, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- Could it be "Bring it", or have you got that one? I'm even not sure if that's from a combo though. Silktail 23:39, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- SFX 854 is "Like it?" GipFace 00:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds like "Like it?". Can I ask with the file names for next lines? Or should I go somewhere else, and get all the issues I have? IlDucci 10:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- At first I thought it was "I can't--", but it's definitely "Like it?", if anyone's still wondering. Can I ask where you're getting these files, GipFace? --Marshmello 20:55, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Move page
The articles for all of the other characters, with the exception of those whose surnames are not known and those who are exclusively referred to by a nickname, all use the character's full name in the article title. I have attempted to move this page to Neku Sakuraba, but it cannot be moved there because that page is a redirect. I'm not very familiar with how these things work... is there a solution to this? --Marshmello 19:38, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- You can always to the good old copypaste-the-entire-page method if you want. XienZo 22:21, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- That works, I guess. Page moved. --Marshmello 01:48, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] 4th Game?
For the last time.
For all we know, Neku did NOT play a fourth game. In fact, it is highly likely he did not - Kitaniji told him he would be disqualified from all games 'beyond the next' - on Joshua, Day 7, in fact.
It appears he played a fourth game because he wakes up in the scramble ("What the hell?!?"), but people are standing staring at him, so he didn't play a fourth game. When he wakes up at the end of the game, he only thinks he's in the UG. He's actually in the RG. I'm goign to go ahead and remove that phrase now. Archaeic 16:28, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- However, it is possible that his duel with Joshua at the very end counted as a game; Joshua even said he collected his entry fee again. XienZo 02:30, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'd be more inclined to assume that the final 'Game' was bullshit. Joshua may have claimed that he had taken Neku's entry fee, but that doesn't make it true. Neku didn't have a timer, and he didn't get erased, despite the Secret Reports confirming that he failed. Joshua was just playing him. --24.89.231.120 22:17, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- I could see that happening too. However, the game skips the few seconds between Joshua telling Neku to pick up the gun and the duel cutscene, so the technical stuff, like the timer, could have happened then. Also, the way they were brought back to life is probably unusual; Rhyme was brought back, even though she lost, so its possible that Neku lost, but still was brought back to life, only missing the entry fee to the "duel" game. XienZo 22:52, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- Not to randomly butt in with questions, but as to Josh telling Neku that he'd already collected his entry fee, what if it was not an object, person, or whatever that had to do with his direct surroundings, but his mortality? His ability to die? For all we know 'Joshua' was the one invincible, and this would be the final decision wheter to spare his life, and that of the others, or not? Lets not even talk about the world around them. - ADDED:
- Adding to the above comment, it might have been his ability to compete in the game. Maybe that deep down, Neku enjoyed playing the game because it gave him purpose, which he didn't have in the RG. This is just something that popped into my head when I read your comment. --- Quote1
- A thought...If Neku didn't play a fourth game, then why did the show the "7 days Later" text after he comes to at the scramble crossing? 99.253.79.4 07:52, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Another theory, is it not true that for a PLAYER to die they must be ERASED? Seeing that the game was still going and the shot was physical <from the RG>, perhaps he didn't truly get erased or die this way? 83.81.125.101 15:46, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- The reason Rhyme is present in the end was because Hanekoma was able to save her Soul before it was lost, and she was therefore not truly erased. But we are told that failure to complete a mission results in erasure, so unless in his final moments Hanekoma went through the intermediate step of binding his Soul to a pin, Neku did not get erased, and therefore when he was 'defeated' by the Composer it was probably not the Game he lost, but a test of will. --24.89.231.120 19:16, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Galazy Angel connection?
The Trivia section states: "In the manga "Galaxy Angel", one main character is named Milfeulle Sakuraba, coincidentally sharing the same last name as Neku. This may be an unseen connection."
I don't see this as relevant at all. It's not like 'Sakuraba' is a word they made up for the game; it's an actual name belonging to actual people, real and fictional. Neku is not secretly connected to everyone whose name is Sakuraba. Unless this Milfeulle person has other notable similarities to Neku, or parallels can be drawn between Galaxy Angel and TWEWY, this piece of trivia is not worth keeping. --Marshmello 16:53, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
