Here I goagain...
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.
The mission!
"Game 1.
Reach 104.
"Time: 60 minutes
Cost of failure:
Expunction."
Nggh...
104 again?
They're not very
creative...
I need a
partner-
otherwise
this'll be a very
short Game.
Better check
Hachiko.
Somebody
there must have
what it takes.
Sigh...
'Sup with you,
girl? You miss
breakfast?
Naw, I just...
don't feel like
working.
I hear that.
Hey, how 'bout
a game, then?
Games
make work
fun!
You know
you lo-
Love it?
Not really.
I'm not
too keen on
games right
about now.
I mean, can
you BELIEVE
this week?
We've never run
a Game this way.
Is it even legal?
Hmm...
Just barely.
Consider it
a loophole.
The grey area
juuust short of
black.
This is
ridiculous!
The Game Master
is Ms. Konishi.
How am I
supposed to
make a good
impression?
On the
Iron Maiden?
Heh.
Well, you're
right about the
Game being
borked.
Three weeks
in a row?
That's a first,
even for me.
You gotta
wonder what
the Composer
has goin'.
I just want
my job to be...
what's the
word...
Rewarding!
That's it.
I want my
job to be
rewarding.
Then put your
heart into it.
You reap what
you sow.
Very funny.
And not all that
convincing coming
from you.
...But
all right.
I'll make this week
the pinnacle of my
Harrier career!
'Atta girl.
Now let's
just hope we
get to the
scene
while there's
still a Player
to harry.
Hey!
Somebody!!!
Holler back if
you haven't made
a pact yet!
Anybody!?
Huh?
Where are all
the Players?
My phone?
Another
mail...
"P.S. This Game
only has one
Player.
Best of luck."
What!?
I'm the only
one?
Then I can't
make a pact!
I can't fight
the Noise!
......
Rrgh...
How could I be
so stupid?
Shades played
me.
He said he
already collected
my entry fee.
And it was
THE OTHER
PLAYERS!
Dammit!
But...
I can't just
give up.
Think, think...
I could try
running for
the next
seven days.
Wait, no...
If just one
mission says
to take a
Noise out...
Oh, just
perfect.
I'm gonna
have to run!
Huff...huff...
That
bastard...
This Game
is rigged.
Crap...
I'm surrounded!
Yoo hoo!
Reapers!
You're still here!
Well, aren't you
the sweetest?
Sticking around
juuust for me!
Now, how
about a little
countdown
until the
ball drops?
10!
It's all
over.
9!
Kariya!
You owe me
ramen for
this.
8!
Yes, ma'am.
Just pay
attention.
"This"
isn't done
yet.
7!
...Ugh, fine.
Zero!
Huh!?
Buh-bye!
Muah.
Shiki...
Joshua...
I'm sorry.
Yo yo yo,
not so fast,
yo!
What are
you doing
here?
It's him!
The hell
you doin'?
Quit playin'
dirty!
You can't
have a Game
with jus' one
Player!
Maybe the
Composer's
down widdat,
but I
ain't him!
Who invited you,
Freshmeat?
...You're not
thinking of
betraying us?
Damn right
I am!
First you
gimme some lame
special op
and make
me snipe my
friends,
and now you
gonna take down
a defenseless
Player?
Ain't you
Reapers got
any honor?
Now you got
me all kinds
a' pissed!
Y'all goin'
down, yo!
Oh, to be
young and
foolish again!
Try switching
on your brain,
Freshmeat.
If you
fight us,
you die.
Right now
you're treadin'
on thin ice.
Yeah. I mean,
what kind of
IDIOT
chooses the
Players over
the Reapers?
Ha!
You're the
idiots, yo.
I ain't
treadin' on
thin ice!
Huh?
Shibuya ain't
cold enough for
ice, stupid!
......
Um...
Yo, Phones!
Huh?
You an' me
is gonna pact.
Aight?
...OK.
Let's do it!
Aight, le's
lay 'em flat,
yo!
OK!
Heh,
served!
You got
nothin' on us,
yo!
Snotty little
worm!
The gloves
are off!
TAKE THIS!
Hey,
Phones!
Huh?
We gotta
bounce, now!
This way!
Huh?
Hey!!!
Wait up!
You little...
You dare run?
Come BACK
HEEERE!
Whoooa,
Uzuki!
Stop, stop.
Why
should I!?
We gotta
report to the
brass.
You know
how this
works.
But, but-
You'll enjoy
punishing them
more if you
take it slow.
......
Yeah...
Good point.
Hey, this
is Yashiro,
Route 3.
We have an
emergency.
A Reaper-
Hoo boy...
Now the real
party starts.
Booyaka!
We made it.
Huff...huff...
So...
for now...
huff...
we're safe?
Yo, enough
wid the huff,
man!
Tha's weak!
Don't you
start blubberin'
on me now.
...Please.
Who's blubbering?
So...
Why exactly did
you make a pact
with me?
'Cause you
was hung out
to dry, man.
I wasn't about
to leave your
sorry ass to die.
Right...
My hero.
Tha's right!
Wait,
you're makin'
fun a' me!
Hey,
look, yo-
I owed you.
Tha's all.
For what?
Rhyme's
pendant.
Big deal.
It was yours, so
I returned it.
Wait...
That's the
only reason you
helped me?
Geez, man!
You're a
Reaper!
They'll kill you
for partnering up
with a Player.
Aww...
quit bitchin'!
Leas' you
still alive.
Hey, your
wings are
gone!
Huh?
......
Oh yeah.
Guess they
are.
You don't
care?
About what?
That Reaper
crap was lame,
yo.
I was gettin'
sick a' how they
ran things.
The good
guys suit me
better.
But forget
me, man.
Why you
in the Game
again?
What happened
to the prissy kid
you was with?
......
Well...
Unngh...
Where...am I?
The Game
ended!?
When? How?
Joshua!
Where's
Joshua?
Shhh.
Who...
Kudos.
Victorious yet
again.
I'm...
the only one?
You play
the Game
well.
Let me take
a moment to
congratulate
you-
and to thank
you for your
assistance.
Assist you?
I don't
think so.
Ah, but did
you not rid us of
Sho Minamimoto,
the rebel?
Rebel?
He wasn't on
your side?
Then that last
mission-
Was issued
by me.
You used us!
What did
you do to
Joshua?
Joshua is
no more.
No...
He took
the brunt of
Minamimoto's
attack.
Both boy and
lion vanished.
Nuked to
oblivion, no
doubt.
Then he died...
protecting
me?
Why would
he do that?
He must
have had some
affection for you
as a partner.
......
He was a
fool, though.
No partner
merits that kind
of sacrifice.
...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.
I can see
you're taking
this hard.
But you
needn't blame
yourself.
Technically,
he never even
entered the
Game.
He didn't
actually exist
in the UG.
How could he
disappear...
if he was
never here in the
first place?
That's not
funny!
And, we mustn't
overlook his grave
transgressions.
Meddling
with the UG
from the
outside?
Breaking into
the Game?
The living
are not eligible
to play.
And now
you, too, must
be punished...
for abetting him
in his crimes.
P-punished!?
With
erasure.
What!?
...At least,
were I to go
strictly by the
book.
Huh?
But lucky for
you, we repay
our debts.
The Composer
has generously
decided
to enter you in
one final Game,
with a penalty.
You may
not refuse.
Another Game?
But what
about Shiki?
What happens
to her!?
Nothing.
The last
Game is null
and void.
Your entry
fee will be
carried over.
That's...
That's the
penalty?
No.
Your penalty
is disqualification
from all Games
beyond the next.
You will
not be allowed
to play again...
again.
This is my
last shot?
Now, I must
collect your
entry fee.
I...I already
paid!
For your
last entry,
yes.
But one entry
fee is required
for each Game.
Composer's
rules.
I'm afraid
I can't bend
them.
Dammit...
What else
can you possibly
take from me?
It's already
been taken.
...What?
That sucks,
man.
How can
Shades be
such a sneaky
bastard?
Takin' all
the Players as
an entry fee!
Doesn't matter.
I was forced into
this either way.
Shiki's still
gone...
What choice
do I have?
Just one: win.
Joshua bought
me this chance.
I'm not gonna
waste it.
I have to
stay alive.
Aight, then.
Come on.
What?
You comin'
with me,
Phones.
Why?
'Cause I
got someplace
to go.
Um, I said
I have to clear
these missio-
To the station
underpass, yo!
Book it!
H-hey,
wait!
Listen to
what I'm telling
you!!!
Yo yo yo!
I said the
station
underpass!
......
A wall.
No red Reaper
in sight, either.
We can't
go this way
today.
Stupid
#!%(#^)^ ^$
WALL!
I ain't got
time for this!
Get in my
way, and I'ma
BREAK you!
He...he tore
it down!?
That's insane!
I pave my own
roads, yo.
Now le's haul it!
The guy's a
freakin' rhino.
Doesn't he ever
pace himself?
This is the
Shibuya River.
Where Joshua
wanted to go...
Hey!
Another wa-
Stupid
#!%(#^)^ ^$
WALL!
Yeowwwch!
Hey, take
it easy!
Yo, what
the hell!
I got the
keypin right
here!
Why can't
I break it?
Keypin?
Yeah, the
Reapers got 'em
to open each
area.
They have
keys?
How you
think I opened
that last wall?
"Open"?
I think
you mean
"smash."
Openin'
them takes
too long!
We got
through, aight?
Who cares how?
Certainly
not you.
'Sides,
breakin' the walls
feels better.
This is nuts,
dude.
Keep it up,
and you won't
last out the
mission!
It don't
matter, man.
Arrrgh,
what the hell!
LET ME IN!
......
Maybe you've
got the wrong
key.
Dammit.
I need
another key?
Look, let's
give this up
for now.
104's back
the other way.
We gotta hurry.
Time is running
out.
Tsk, fine.
Whatever!
Hey...
Wait up!!!
Another
wall...
Aight,
time to get my
smash on-
Hey, wait
a second!
What, yo?
You don't
have to get your
smash on.
We're going to
104, remember?
This isn't
the way.
Oh...right.
Then le's move!
We ain't got
time for this!
Geez...
The guy
never stops.
Conductor, sir.
I've received
word of another
rebellion.
......
A new Reaper
under special
orders from you,
sir.
Name:
Daisukenojo Bito .
He's been with us
for eight days.
...Ah, yes.
The boy.
With your
permission, sir,
I'd like to handle
him personally-
as Game
Master, of
course.
No, Konishi.
You will remain
on standby.
To what
end, sir?
I need to
discuss this with
the Composer.
Mr. Kitaniji,
far be it from
me to question
you, but...
the boy's been
on duty for all of
eight days.
He hasn't
earned a
single point.
Why trouble
the Composer
when he's doomed
anyway?
Ha ha!
Konishi, talking
back? Has hell
frozen over?
We mete out
punishment based
on the crime, not
the criminal.
I...understand,
sir.
I'll stay my
hand until the
Composer has
spoken.
That little
goon!
Even a chimp
knows better
than to pick the
losing side.
This ruins my
plans to wrap
the Game up on
Day 1!
I'll need to
work up a new
strategy...
Adjust for the
longer term.
Good thing
I never make
mistakes...
Damn, another
wall...
Heh!
Them Noise is
gettin' a
beatdown!
Ready,
Phones?
Hope you
can keep up.
Well, first
you gotta tell
me how you
fight.
That's easy.
I just...
......
You know.
It's like...um...
Poker!
Yeah!
I gotta get
cards of the
same suit.
OK, makes
sense.
Sort of.
You'll get it
once we start
fightin', yo!
Le's do it!
Right
now!?
Aight, le's mow
'em down!
Man, why
you gotta drag
your feet?
Ha!
How ya
like dat?
Two cards
on the ground,
pick up
one in the
air,
Lay on
the skull, and
kablam! I'm
there.
That's...
confusing.
Well...
un-fuse it!
I can't
figure it out,
so you gotta!
What?
But it's your
technique!
I only know
what I know
'cause...
'cause Rhyme
explained it.
Rhyme...
......
Wanna
pound stuff
again?
Heh heh!
Aight, le's
do it!
Aight.
Now you
know how
it's done.
Booya,
we made it!
Timer's
gone.
All clear.
Sweet!
One day down,
six more to go!
First I have
to ask you
something.
Like what,
yo?
Le's just play
the Game.
"Trust your
partner."
That's the
key to survival
here.
So I gotta
know:
You said you
helped me so
you could repay
a favor.
Yeah.
So?
Is that the
only reason?
I can't afford
any surprises
in this Game.
Why put
yourself in
jeopardy?
What's a
"jeppardy"?
Huh?
Look, man.
I dunno your
big words.
But I do
got another
reason.
OK.
What?
I wanna set
Shibuya up widda
new Composer.
Me!
I'm back,
Konishi.
Mr. Kitaniji.
Have you made
a decision?
Yes. Strip the
little rebel of his
Reaperhood.
Treat him as
a Player going
forward.
Yes, sir.
I needn't
remind you,
Konishi,
of your
obligation to
erase both the
Players?
You are Game
Master...
I'll get the
job done, sir.
Good.
But to be safe,
I'm requiring all
Reapers to wear
their O-Pins.
Outlet Pins?
Sir, I know
O-Pins enhance
Reaper battle
performance,
but what
about the side
effects?
All to punish
one ignorant
little boy?
It's so risky...
Nonetheless,
the Composer
wills it.
I, for one,
am grateful.
Haven't we
lost enough
good men?
Yes, sir.
I'm also putting
the UG on
Emergency Call.
Emergency
Call!?
Make the
arrangements.
...Right away.
Something's
wrong.
Why such
alarm over one
artless rebel?
He's hiding
something.
I need to
act, now.
But not
blindly.
Every good
plan
starts with
hard facts.
Ready for
Day 2?
Mission's
here.
Hey! Ain't
you down wid
the plan?
Yeah. Like we
talked about
yesterday.
Ignore the
missions
and make for
the Shibuya
River.
Once I'm
Composer,
this Game
business is done!
An' then...
......
Man, le's
jus' go.
Go where?
You haven't
even read
the mission.
Who'zat?
Greetings.
I am this week's
Game Master,
Mitsuki Konishi.
Tsk...
This is the
Iron Maiden?
Move, yo!
I ain't got
time for you!
So primitive.
You think I can't
see what you're
up to?
You were
going to ignore
the mission
and cause
some kind of
trouble.
So what, yo!?
I'm a Reaper.
I don't gotta
do some stupid
mission!
...As I
thought.
Well, I regret
to inform you
you were
officially expelled
from the Reapers
yesterday.
As of today,
you are just a
Player.
Pfft.
Whatever.
You can't
fire me, 'cause
I quit, yo!
Oh, don't act
like a child.
You think
I'm actin'!?
...No, I can
see it comes
quite naturally
to you.
Heh heh.
Damn right!
......
Uh, dude...
She's making
fun of you.
WHAT!?
Sigh...
Since I can't
reverse evolution
and speak your
language,
I'll keep
this brief.
You may
be a Player
now,
but you still
broke Reaper
rules.
Which means
you have a
penalty coming.
They explained
to you that a
Reaper's points
determine his or
her lifespan?
Yeah, so?
Big deal, yo.
You've earned
0 points.
Not a very
hard worker,
I see.
You was
gonna make me
sic Noise on the
Players!
That ain't
what I signed
up for.
......
Then I can't
fathom why you
did.
One person's
success is built
on another's
sacrifice.
And besides...
If I'm not
mistaken,
your only motive
for becoming a
Reaper is sitting
perched on your
shoulder.
One little Noise?
Talk about petty.
Shut up!
What do YOU
know?
As you
wish.
0 points.
That leaves you
with about five
days to live,
including
today.
What!?
Five days?
Then I ain't
gonna last the
Game...
The Reapers'
wings
are not a
license to do
whatever you
please.
Ponder that
during the time
you have left.
Now then,
Player, in honor
of your fall from
grace,
why don't I
claim your entry
fee?
What!?
NO!
I wonder
what you hold
dearest.
Could it be...
this Noise?
It is, isn't it?
Give her back,
you Iron Witch!
Hmph.
I have a
better idea.
Since this
seems to be
distracting
you...
NO!
Don't you do
it, yo!
There.
Much more
manageable.
Now you
can focus on
my mission.
Why you...
Gimme that
pin!!!
First, your
mission.
How about...
"Defeat me.
You have 6 days."
DAYS?
Or until you
perish. Whichever
comes first.
Yo, I don't
need no six
days-
I'm gonna
finish this right
here an' now!
A predictably
hasty response.
...Let me finish.
Keep jumping the
gun and you're
going to fail.
Don't you care
what becomes
of this pin?
Dammit!
That ain't fair...
At this point,
I am going to
move to a
certain place.
I will stay
in that place
for the next
six days.
You need
to find me.
So it's like
hide-and-seek.
We just
gotta find you?
Tha's easy, yo.
Correct.
We call this
Reaper Sport 2:
"Hide-and-Seek."
I picked
something at
your age level.
Whatchu
jus' say!?
Best of luck
to you.
Oh, and here.
You'll need
this.
A Player Pin...
I'm looking
forward to watching
you squirm and
choke-
powerless to
find me...
powerless to
stop death from
finding you.
Take care.
Yo, get
back here,
dammit!
Nngh!
The timer.
Dammit!
She got away.
That's the
way to 104.
Yo, forget
the Shibuya
River.
We gotta
go after her,
man.
I need
that pin!
Otherwise bein'
the Composer
means nothin'.
Wait, why?
That Noise that
was with you.
What wa-
That ain't
no Noise,
Phones!
Huh?
Le's bounce!
Damn,
a wall...
I'm gonna
smash it, yo!
Whoa, whoa!
What, man?
Ever think
about conserving
your energy?
We don't need
to smash it.
She took off
in the other
direction!
Hey, that
could be a
trap, yo.
You can't
prove Ironface
isn't through
here!
And you
can't prove
she is!
Let's just
start with the
obvious, OK?
Then we can
come back and
smash things.
But we ain't
got time for
guessin'...
Look, I get
how you feel.
But you're
not a Reaper
anymore.
You have to-
Aight, MOM!
Damn...
Another wall...
End of the road.
Naw, not
this time, yo.
Whoa, don't
do anything
crazy!
Yo, quit bustin'
my berries, man.
I'm talkin'
'bout THIS.
This wall
opens with my
Lv. 1 keypin.
The one
you used to
"open" the wall
yesterday?
Heh heh.
She forgot to
take it back.
There.
Open.
Le's move!
Sooo...
this is an
O-Pin.
Reminds me
of the design
sweeping the
town.
You know...
I think it's the
same pin.
Something
about this
stinks.
Better hold your
nose, then.
We have to
wear 'em.
GM's orders.
You mean
her Iron
Mugliness?
She's really
gone and done
it this time.
Oh, c'mon,
live a little!
Secret weapons?
Unchained power?
Sign me up!
Uh-huh.
Ever wonder
why they keep the
chains ON?
I guess...
it must take
a toll.
Something
must be spooking
the higher-ups
if they're
breakin' these
puppies out.
It does seem
like overkill for
one little freshmeat
traitor.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Huh?
Please.
Anyway,
I see you've
finally cheered
up.
Well, yeah?
Work is
finally getting
back to
normal.
Rewarding!
Hee hee.
'Atta girl!
Now how 'bout
we play for a
bowl of-
Working
diligently,
I see.
Oh! Y-yes,
ma'am!
Tsk...
Dammit...
Where'd
that Reaper
tramp go?
Got you now,
traitor.
Who the hell
are you?
A Reaper.
Yeah, like we
couldn't tell.
Well, guess what.
I'm a Player now.
You ain't
allowed to
touch me.
What, didn't
you get the
memo?
The UG's on
Emergency
Call.
Pfft.
What's the
emergency?
When the
UG's continued
existence is
threatened,
neutralization
of the malignant
factors takes
highest priority.
Sorry, man,
but I don't
speak geek.
It means the
ban on attacking
Players has
been lifted.
You're
just a bounty
to me now.
I'll make
officer if I
erase you.
Heh, good
for you, yo.
Take your
best shot.
But I'm
tougher than
you think.
Not when
I've got an
O-Pin!
"Oh pin"?
Whassat?
It makes me a
dozen times more
powerful than
usual!
Prepare to die,
Daisukeno -
Bwaaah!
Oh no you didn't!
Now you askin'
for it!
H-how!?
The pin
didn't work?
Heh.
You all talk,
man.
It don't
work 'cause
you WEAK.
I underestimated
you, Daisukeno -
Bwaaah!
Dontchu say it!
Die-sue-what?
Forget it, yo.
We got
us a bigger
problem.
The Emergency
Call...
We're gonna
have to fight off
the Reapers
now.
Rrgh,
dammit!
Why they
gotta get up in
our grills when
we busiest?
Why'd it
have to come
to this, yo?
......
Uh, because
you betrayed
them?
Bwaaah!
You sayin' it's
my fault?
Well...
we still OK!
We jus' gotta
take out the
Reapers if they
try somethin'.
Right?
Works for
me.
Aight, le's go
find the Iron
Maiden.
Hmm...
That's weird,
though.
The GM could've
just erased us.
Why didn't
she?
What's the
point of issuing
some roundabout
mission?
Yo, le's move!
All right!
Can I count on
you, Mr. Kariya?
Yashiro?
Of course,
ma'am!
Special orders
straight from
the GM!
We're honored.
......
You're officer
material, Yashiro.
Where points
are concerned,
you rival the
best of us.
You could
succeed.
All you need
is a little more
self-restraint.
Yes, ma'am!
Thank you for
the advice.
Show me
some results, and
I can guarantee
a promotion.
I'll speak to
Mr. Kitaniji
myself.
Now do
your best.
I won't let you
down, ma'am!
As for you,
Mr. Kariya,
you should
already be-
Picked a
hiding place yet?
Must be fun to
run.
"Run"?
Oh, Mr. Kariya,
you need to fix
that erroneous
assumption.
I intend to
ATTACK-
from the
last place they'll
ever suspect.
Hey!
You see that?
Wait up,
Ironface!
Durff!
Stupid wall!
Keypin,
keypin.
Got it, yo!
C'mon!
Quit runnin',
you coward!
That's
A-East...
She's hidin'
in the building,
yo.
This is our
chance, Phones!
Le's take
her out now!
Hey!
You two!
Perfect
timing.
Huh?
Oh. It's you.
Whatchu want,
man?
We in a
hurry!
Yeah, we
don't have time
for you right
now.
Aw, that's
too bad...
for you.
Yo, whatchu
say?
...I am sooo
on fire today!
The bounty
just fell right
into my lap!
Wait...
You wouldn't!
Hmph.
You know we
gonna crush you,
Porcupine.
Uhh...
Don't count on
it, bro.
I've been on
a lucky streak
today.
Tix to our
show tonight?
Sold out.
That's a
Def M±!rch first!
Meteoric!
Yeah?
Good for you,
man.
Go play wid
your mic or
somethin'
and step off
my grill, yo!
Sorry.
Denied!
Whatever
you did to get
a price put on
your head,
I intend to
collect.
'Sides, if
you're threatenin'
the UG,
that ain't cool.
I happen to
like my UG/RG
double life.
Like I'm the
bad guy!
You are
to me.
Now,
Daisukenojo Bito ,
prepare to be
face-melted!
Bwaaah!
Die...bee...
What?
Is that some
kind of hex?
Yo, don't
you dare use
that name!
Name!?
You don't
mean...
......
...Yeah.
Are you
serious?
I know it's
lame, man.
Jus' call me
Beat!
Let's rock,
Daisukenojo !
Bwaaah!
You'll pay
for that, yo!
Damn...
You guys are
tough.
Tha's right.
Now call me
Beat!
Is that all
that matters
to him?
That cost us
time, yo.
Le's keep
movin'.
Hey,
hold up.
Finish what
you started...
End me.
End you?
Yo, I didn't
even wanna
start you.
And I ain't
got nothin'
'gainst the UG,
neither.
You got a
show to play,
man.
Go rock out.
You gonna let
down your fans?
......
Heh heh...
Man, today
IS my lucky
day.
Thanks, Phones.
You, too,
Daisukenojo !
Bwaaah!
Yo, you
askin' for
mo' pain!
Hey!
Calm down...
Dai-
I mean Beat.
Here.
Take this.
Whatchu
givin' me,
man?
My keypin.
Is that
allowed?
Doesn't matter.
I don't like
owin' people.
Aight, then.
Thanks, man.
...C'mon,
Phones!
Yeah, she
couldn't've left
the building.
Who?
The Iron
Maiden!
You mean
Konishi?
We saw the
Game Master
go in.
What?
Naw, you're
mistaken.
No one's
inside the
space.
I would've
seen 'em go
in.
You didn't
see her?
But she
went right
past him...
Still, he
doesn't look like
he's lying.
Hey, anybody
in here?
I said,
HEEEY!!!
See?
Nobody-
Gwaargh!
What
happened?
Quick,
Phones!
It's pitch
black...
Hey!
Porcupine!
You aight?
......
Let's have a
look around.
What's
this?
Looks like a
dog collar.
It's the
choker 777
had on.
Huh?
Then what's
it doin' here?
...She
erased him.
What!?
That lowdown,
dirty...
How could
she do somethin'
like that!?
Where is she?
I'm gonna hunt
her down!
Hey, heads up!
There's something
in here!
Tsk...
Noise?
We'll find her.
But first, let's
get rid of this!
Hee hee
hee...
Show yourself,
Ironface!
She's in here
somewhere.
Keep looking!
...Huh?
The scramble!?
But we was
just at A-East,
yo!
She dumped
us back at the
starting point?
C'mon, man.
We gotta
head back!
Wait!
What for!?
We know
where she's at!
We know
where she
WAS.
But we couldn't
find her.
Yeah, we
did look pretty
hard, but-
We don't
have any proof
she was really
there.
You heard
her laughin'
at us!
It's possible
that was all
just a setup.
Let's check
some other
places today.
We've got
777's keypin,
right?
We just
have to be
thorough.
Aight.
Fine.
But it's
Day 3, yo.
I don't got
much more
time.
This sucks,
man...
I am so
boned!
Why can't
there be some
easy way outta
this?
Well,
there is!
Yo, who'zat?
Like, take it
down a notch,
Freshmeat.
Or should
I call you
Rottenmeat?
Whatchu want,
Pinky?
Hey, leave
my hair out
of this.
......
You here to
take us out?
If you gonna
bring it, then
bring it!
We in a
hurry, yo.
Oh yeah?
You don't
want THIS?
That pin!
The GM passed
it on to me.
She made me
substitute GM for
the day!
Yo, gimme
that back!
Hooold on.
This is your
entry fee.
You can't
have it back
unless you win
the Game.
Bwaaah!
Tha's right...
Dammit!
But how
about we have
a little bonus
round?
If you finish
my mission,
I'll give you
back the pin.
Yo, fo' real?
Like, totally.
I'm subbing for
the GM.
It's my call.
And of course
you'd never try to
trick us.
What?
Oh, come on.
You think this is
all a ruse?
Fine, I'll
just destroy the
pin, then-
Wh-whoa!
Don't!
Ahh, now
you believe
me.
Like you
gave us a
choice.
So!
Here's your
mission.
......
We are going
to play Reaper
Sport 4:
"Tag."
ACHOO!
Huh?
What'd she
say?
You have
60 minutes.
Fail, and-
Well, I'm not an
official proxy,
so I can't
erase you.
Then why
you think we
gonna listen
to you?
I can't erase
you...
but I CAN
erase this pin.
What!
You sneaky-
Oh, get
over it.
Now...
Ready, set...
GO!
Dammit!
Get back here,
Pinky!
Hey, this
could be our
lucky break.
It beats
hunting after
the real GM.
Yeah...
I guess.
We don't
need Ironface
if we get the
pin back.
Yo, le's
chase after Pinky
and clear this
mission!
Hey, so,
um...
what's the
goal for today's
mission?
Huh?
Yo, weren't you
listenin'?
No. I couldn't
hear 'cause you
sneeze like a
freakin' elephant.
Man...
Get wid it.
Today's
mission is-
......
You don't
know.
I-I got it,
Phones!
Just gimme a
sec.
Reaper
Spurt 4,
right?
Sport.
Right, Sport.
Umm...
Well, RS 1
is "Russian
Roulette."
RS 2 is
"Hide-and-Seek."
So RS 4
must be,
uhmmm-
Sigh...
What should
I do?
Maybe it's
time to break
out Reaper
Creeper...
Oh yeah!
"Reaper Creeper"!
That's what
RS 4 is!
......
You just
pulled that out
of thin air.
Did not!
Hey, I used to
be a Reaper,
yo!
We cool.
OK, so...
how does
RS 4: Reaper
Creeper work?
Well, you
gotta act like
the Reaper...
and creep
into people's
heads and
stuff.
...Are you
sure?
Hey, I
used to be a
Reaper, yo!
We cool.
......
Aight,
Phones.
Le's find us
some peeps
to Creep.
How 'bout the
guy who just
walked by?
Phones!
Where you
goin'?
We gotta
Creep that guy
over there.
......
Is that
really the
mission?
A wall,
huh?
Guess we're
not going this
way.
Dammit.
I can't break
this one.
Le's try
a different
way, yo!
Hmm...
Ever since
discovering
Reaper
Creeper,
I've let it make
decisions for me...
Too many.
Not that I can
complain.
I owe much of my
success to it.
But still...
it doesn't
feel right.
What?
He ain't gonna
do it?
Weird,
for him.
Should I
keep relying
on this?
......
Of course!
I'll just ask it!
Wouldn't
that be a
fitting end!
......
Yeah, pops!
'Atta boy...
......
Reaper...
......
Creeperrraaargh!
What am I doing?
I have to quit
cold turkey.
Aw, quit
jerkin' us around,
pops!
Hurry up
and Creep!
...Are you
SURE this is
what we have
to do?
Y-yeah!
Reaper Spurt 4:
"Reaper Creeper."
I used to be
a Reaper, yo!
......
Trust me,
Phones.
Now let's
get that guy
to-
Huh?
Where'd he go?
Sigh...
Oh, crap!
We gonna lose
him!
Book it,
Phones!
Must...trust...
partner...
Hey!
There he is!
Sigh...
Tee hee!
Huh?
You see Pinky
jus' go by?
Yeah.
She was
giggling.
What's up
with that?
No sign of
the pops.
Yo, you
think he came
this way?
Tee hee!
Hey, wasn't
that...
What's she
doing?
Hey!
Phones!
Focus, man.
The guy ain't
here.
We gotta
check someplace
else!
Sigh...
What am I
gonna do?
Hey...
I know him.
Nothing I do
ever works
out.
I give up...
Huh?
Hey, Mick.
Oh. Eiji...
I-I mean,
Mr. Oji.
What's wrong?
You look down.
......
I'm a chronic
failure.
I left my job
'cause I thought
I had all the
answers.
Man, was
I wrong about
that.
Nothing's
going the way
I planned.
What have
you been doing
with the ramen
place?
I closed it down
for a while.
What? Why!?
The place was
packed.
At first.
Then sales
started to
tumble,
and I had
no idea how
to keep people
buying.
......
Mick, we
had this talk
before.
The trends
can make and
break you in
Shibuya.
Yeah, I
remember.
"Be more
trendy."
Is that it?
No, it's not
that simple.
You can't just
throw on a popular
outfit and expect
to be cool.
People see
right through
that.
Clothes are
a form of self-
expression.
You're not
being trendy
if you're not
being you.
Work the
trends.
Wear what
feels right.
Don't let
the trends
work you.
......
OK. I think
I get it...
Well, I gotta
get to my next
appointment.
See you,
Mick.
Wear what
feels right...
DO what
feels right...
Aww...
But what feels
right for me?
Dammit, where'd
he go now?
Tee hee!
Hey.
There goes
the Reaper
again.
What,
Pinky?
Yeah.
She just took
off.
You didn't
see her?
Yo, are we
lookin' for the
guy or not?
......
I dunno.
I think she's
acting weird.
Like she's
teasing us.
Whatever,
man.
You sure
today's mission
isn't-
ACHOO!
......
Ahhh.
Got the sniffles.
Aight, le's go,
Phones!
We gotta
track down that
guy an' finish
the mission!
......
Sigh...
Yo, Phones!
There he is!
Sigh...
Huh?
What's he
doing here?
M...Makoto!
Oh! Boss...
Boss, how
have you
been?
Fit as a
fiddle,
thanks.
Sorry you
had to see
me like this.
Is that
new business
not panning
out?
I just don't
have the knack
for it.
I made this
big show about
leaving the
company.
I thought
I was sooo
smart.
But you
know, Boss-
I didn't
know a damn
thing.
Shibuya
ate me alive,
heh heh...
......
Boss,
tell me.
What am I
supposed to
do now?
Oh,
Makoto...
Heh, I'm
sorry.
That's not a
very fair question
after what I
did to you.
Now just hold
on, Makoto.
Reaper
Creeper always
yields the right
answer.
Makoto needs
solid advice,
and with
this...
I can give
it to him!
Damn right,
pops!
He's gonna
do it, Phones!
Now's our
turn to Creep,
yo!
Hmm...
I dunno...
This seems
too important
to leave up to
some game.
Do it,
Phones!
All right,
Let's see where
this takes us.
Reaper...
Creeper...
Get ready
to answer his
question.
An' remember:
White is YES,
Black is NO.
What should
Makoto do with
his future?
Huh!?
That's not
a yes-or-no
question!
Please, Reaper!
Show me the way!
Yo, just wing it,
Phones!
......
All right, Makoto.
I think I have
your answer.
Um, Boss,
who were you
talking to?
I know you
think your luck's
dried up.
Yeah...
Nothing's going
my way.
Well, that's
because...
you need
more BLACK
in your life!
What?
You heard me.
Black!
More darkness!
More mystery!
Uh...uhmm...
And I have
just the product
for you.
But...
Boss, I-
I had to pull
a few strings
to get these,
so-
Boss, I...
I have to run.
Take care...
W-wait,
Makoto!
You forgot
your BLACK!
......
You see that?
Mission cleared,
yo!
......
Game over,
Pinky!
Come on out!
......
What, ain't
she here?
Wait a
minute...
Yo, did she
trick us?
Or maybe
we Creeped
so good
she's too
ashamed to
admit it!
......
All right, Makoto.
I think I have
your answer.
Um, Boss,
who were you
talking to?
I know you
think your luck's
dried up.
Yeah...
Nothing's going
my way.
Well, that's
because...
you need
more WHITE
in your life!
What?
You heard me.
White!
More pure-
as-the-driven-
snowiness!
Uh...uhmm...
And I have
just the product
for you.
But...
Boss, I-
I had to pull
a few strings
to get these,
so-
Boss, I...
I have to run.
Take care...
W-wait,
Makoto!
You forgot
your WHITE!
......
You see that?
Mission cleared,
yo!
......
Game over,
Pinky!
Come on out!
......
What, ain't
she here?
Wait a
minute...
Yo, did she
trick us?
Or maybe
we Creeped
so good
she's too
ashamed to
admit it!
......
All right, Makoto.
I think I have
your answer.
Um, Boss,
who were you
talking to?
I know you
think your luck's
dried up.
Yeah...
Nothing's going
my way.
Well, that's
because...
you need
more RED
in your life!
What?
You heard me.
Red!
More...
moulin rouge!
Uh...uhmm...
And I have
just the product
for you.
But...
Boss, I-
I had to pull
a few strings
to get these,
so-
Boss, I...
I have to run.
Take care...
W-wait,
Makoto!
You forgot
your RED!
......
You see that?
Mission cleared,
yo!
......
Game over,
Pinky!
Come on out!
......
What, ain't
she here?
Wait a
minute...
Yo, did she
trick us?
Or maybe
we Creeped
so good
she's too
ashamed to
admit it!
......
No.
Not this time.
Huh?
Whatchu talkin'
about, Phones?
He needs to
find the words
himself.
But Phones...
Gaaah!
It's not moving!
Please!
Creep to me,
Reaper!
Hey, Boss,
look... I gotta
take off.
W-wait,
Makoto!
Huh?
Do you...
remember when
you first started
with me?
On your
first day,
you had this
twinkle in your eye,
and you said,
"I want my
customers to
be happy!"
Heh...
We all start
somewhere.
Makoto!
Back then,
you had your
head stuck so far
up in the clouds,
you couldn't
get anything done
right.
Heh...
Sounds a lot
like me now.
Not quite.
The you I
knew first?
He didn't need
fancy clothes to
be cool.
Marvelous!
That's what
you were.
Boss...
I think you
need to search
back
and ask THAT
person where you
should go from
here.
So what if
you mess up?
Nothing we
do in life is ever
truly a waste.
Wow...
......
All this time
I've been rushing
into things.
Maybe I need
to go back to the
drawing board
and figure out
what I want.
Thanks,
Boss.
No, I should
be thanking
you.
Huh?
For what?
Nothing,
nothing.
Hey, Boss.
I gotta get
going.
All right.
Show the world
what you've
got!
Heh heh.
Who needs
some piece of
paper?
My own
answers beat the
hell out of black
and white.
I've Reaper-
Creeped for the
last time.
Damn straight,
pops.
...Hey, wait
a minute.
BWAAAH!
Phones,
you've doomed
us, man!
Who's gonna
play Reaper
Creeper now?
About this
"Reaper Creeper"
business...
I gotta
ask you.
What, yo?
Is that
REALLY today's
mission?
Yo, I
told you-
I don't think
you remember.
I do!
Like I said,
Reaper Spurt
4-
It's SPORT.
Hrrrm...
......
Sorry,
Phones.
It's been two
days since I
was a Reaper.
I don't
remember
too much.
Um...
Two days isn't
that long.
Look, next time
just be up-front
about it.
We'll never
work the mission
out by taking
shots in the dark.
Man...
Why I gotta be
like this?
I never
change.
......
You know
Rhyme?
She used to
say the same
stuff-
like a hundred
times, man.
Beat...
I don't trust
that pink-haired
lady.
What she
said doesn't
add up.
Let's take it
with a grain of
salt, OK?
We ain't got
time for salt!
We don't
have time
for mistakes,
either.
Slow and steady
wins the race!
I'm telling you,
Beat.
We need
to find the
golden bat.
We ain't got
time for bats!
We don't
have time
for mistakes,
either.
Haste makes
waste!
She always
had some
saying.
And she
knew to think
ahead!
But me...
I never learn.
Even now,
when she needs
me the most.
......
I know
I gotta think
things through.
I really
do, man.
But I freak
out instead of
findin' the
answer.
Some brother
I make.
Brother?
Wait,
Rhyme's your
sister!?
What, didn't
I mention?
Yeah.
We from the
same family.
Whoa!
I had
no idea.
We came
to the UG
together,
partnered up...
and then I...
I...
Hey, you
didn't do
anything!
It's like I
killed her, man.
You don't
know the half
of it.
Beat...
Why I gotta
be so stupid?
I thought I
could bring Rhyme
back by becomin'
a Reaper.
That turned
out great, huh?
......
When Rhyme
got erased,
Hanekoma
gathered up her
soul
and stored
it in a pin.
I made a pact
with the pin to
stay alive, but...
I hated
feelin' trapped,
yo.
'Fore I knew it,
I was at the Reapers'
door asking 'em
how to use the pin.
So that's
why you
took off.
But wait!
That means-
That Noise
on my shoulder
was Rhyme.
Her Noise,
which I called
outta the pin.
Whoa...
I was lookin'
for a way to
turn her back
to normal,
but I didn't
find nothin', yo.
But I figure if I
become the Composer
and rule Shibuya...
Ya know?
Whoever
takes out the
old Composer
gets the job.
Is that how
it works?
Yup.
And once I'm
in charge of
Shibuya,
I can fix
Rhyme.
I owe her a
second chance,
man!
......
Listen up,
Phones, 'cause
I'm only gonna
say this once.
What?
Help me...
You gotta help
me save her.
I ain't that smart.
I just crash my way
through things.
But that
ain't enough to
save Rhyme.
I need help!
I need...
I need YOUR
help.
......
Screw you.
What!?
Don't be
an ass.
She's my friend.
And you act like
I'd mind saving
her.
Besides, I'm just
crashing my way
through this, too.
Even if I
beat the GM
and survive,
they'll just
get me on some
technicality-
probably for
making a pact
with you.
But I don't
get any more
chances.
There's the
Emergency Call,
too.
Let's face it.
Shades wants
me gone.
If me and
Shiki are gonna
make it back to
the RG-
Don't sweat it,
man!
I'll bring you
all back to life,
soon as I'm
in charge.
All right.
Yo, uh...
thanks, Phones.
Hey, not
necessary.
Like Mr. H
said:
"Trust your
partner."
Heh heh!
True dat.
So what's
today's REAL
mission?
......
Well...first
le's track
Pinky down.
Ugh,
what's with
you losers!?
Hey, is that-
Don't you
want to win
at ALL!?
I oughta
crush this pin!
I swear, if you
take one more
side trip-
I mean,
what's the point
of tag if you
don't chase me!
Huh? Tag?
Wait, so
Reaper Sport 4-
It's "Tag,"
you dolt!
Didn't they
teach you anything
at all?
That's like
the most basic
of basics!
Some rising
star you turned
out to-
Tag.
Huh?
You're it.
What!?
Bwa ha ha!
You see
how stupid
she is?
She just walked
right up to us an'...
Bwa ha ha!
That...that
last tag doesn't
count!
And did you
just call me
stupid?
Yo, you are!
I ain't never seen
no one suck so
bad at tag.
Shut up shut up
shut up!
You have
no right to call
anyone stupid!
We cleared
your mission,
Pinky.
Now hand
over the pin!
I...I've got
another mission
for you!
"Defeat the
pissed off Reaper!"
Hey, play
fair!
I have to
win this Game.
I don't care
what it takes!
Now bring it,
you little turds!
Look out, yo!
One more punch
and you gone!
Hand over the
pin an' I might
spare you.
AAAaaaAAA
AAAaaaRRRRR
rrrRRRrrrGG
GGgggGGH!!!
Take your
mercy and
shove it!
Next mission!
Hey!
Enough is-
I WANT MY
PROMOTION!
I'm not
shooting for
any Miss Nice
awards!
Aw,
now girl...
Face the facts.
They got
you whupped.
Oh, be quiet!
You can
underachieve
all you want.
But I want
to move up!
Up, up, up,
and then
what?
Well...
I-I-I-
Don't know?
Then don't
bother.
Shooting for
nothing sounds
crazy to me.
Then what
about you!
Why'd you turn
your promotion
down?
......
Yeah, I know
about it.
They were
gonna make you
an officer.
And you threw it
in their faces.
I mean, what is
that!?
You got a
crush on me or
something?
Can't bear to
leave me!?
I don't want
to be your ball
and chain.
It's not fair!
Being an officer
sucks.
Why join
the brass and
strut around
doin' nothing?
Sounds like
a total bore.
I like the
field, simple
as that.
You can feel
the pulse out here.
People's ideas
conflicting,
changing...
I like bein'
in the audience.
I'm a stargazer.
......
'Sides,
if I join the
officers,
how am I
gonna sucker
you into buyin'
me ramen?
...Jerk.
Well...
I guess I can
stay in the audience
a bit longer, too.
Yeah, girl.
Stop and smell
those concrete
roses.
Now then.
Sorry to drag
on like that.
Here.
For your
trouble.
A Lv. 3
keypin?
Yo, you
can keep this.
Gimme Rhyme!
No can do.
I haven't had
my fun yet.
Quit screwin'
with us!
Um, villain?
Screwin' with
you is my job.
But you
have my
word.
Beat me at my
little game,
and this
pin's yours.
No screws
attached.
You swear
this time?
On my life.
...Wait, that
doesn't work.
Anyway,
I won't be
pulling any
punches.
Dammit, fine.
What's your
game?
You'll love it,
Freshmeat.
All you have
to do...
is beat me.
Oh, hey,
kids.
You're just
in time.
Huh?
Whatchu all
want?
We were
about to play
some Tin Pin,
but we're
one short of a
Grand Slam.
Want in?
If you win,
we'll give you
a rare pin.
Yo, whatchu
wanna do?
You playin'?
All right!
Let's play.
But careful:
we're good.
Really?
That's too bad.
Hey,
not bad!
That was fun.
Let's play again
sometime!
Ha ha ha!
You've got a
ways to go.
Come back
when you're
ready.
Hmph...
Here for
Tin Pin?
Yo, whatchu
wanna do?
You playin'?
...Where am I?
The underpass by
Miyashita Park...
That's an
unusual place
to start.
Huh?
Where's
Beat?
......
What's he
doing over
there?
Rrgh...
A wall, yo.
......
...Whatchu
lookin' at?
No wall smash?
And here you
said you never
change.
Don't be so
cold, man.
I can open
this one widda
Lv. 3 keypin.
Open, not
smash?
Yeah.
I'm conservin'
energy, yo.
Wow, you
HAVE changed.
Heh heh!
Damn right.
......
There.
C'mon, man.
Urrrf!
A wall.
Beat's got
the keypin...
Urrrf!
A wall.
Beat's got
the keypin...
......
Hey.
WAAAH!
You up
already?
So it seems.
Weird place
to start the
day, huh?
......
Right?
Huh?
Oh, yeah,
yeah.
Speaking of
weird...
What's gotten
into him?
AAAAAAIIIGHT!
Whoa, what
was that for?
Time to
give Lollipop
a lickin'
and get
Rhyme back,
yo!
Yeah...
You said it.
From the
way Lollipop-
wait, Kariya,
was it?
The way
he was talking,
we gotta beat
him today.
Yeah, jus'
be ready,
Phones.
Lollipop's
one tough
customer.
Oh, come on.
He's just another
Reaper.
I've already
beat two Game
Masters,
remember?
Naw, man,
Kariya's skills
put the brass
to shame.
He's only a
small fry 'cause
he likes it that
way.
Yeah, they
were talking
about that.
Trus' me,
he ain't gonna
mess up like
Pinky did, yo.
......
Wait, are
YOU worrying
about ME?
Huh!?
Who are
you and what
have you done
with Beat?
N-naw, man!
I was jus' sayin'
we gotta be
vegetant!
We after
the Composer,
not Kariya.
Vigilant.
And is the
Composer that
strong?
He's gotta
be, right?
How else he
gonna keep sly
punks like Shades
in line?
All I'm sayin'
is we ain't
gonna get a
better warm-up
than Kariya.
So let's take
him down,
rescue Rhyme,
an' then
book it to the
Shibuya River!
It won't be
that easy.
Well, you
better man up,
yo,
cause we
gotta find
Lollipop.
Le's start at
the scramble.
......
If the GM
was right,
Beat's only
got two more
days after
today...
Yo yo yo!
Wrong way,
man!
Scramble's
back this
way.
Oof!
Oww, dammit!
Freakin'
wall...
Now where's
that keypin?
Whaaa?
It's...
it's gone!
The keypin's
gone, man!
Gone!?
Then we're
trapped in here?
...Tsk.
Here, of all
places...
What do
you mean?
N-nothin',
aight?
......
Crap.
This complicates
things.
How do we
open the walls
without a key?
Think, think...
Yo, you know
when I woke up,
this was lyin'
next to me.
......
Well, thanks
for mentioning.
What is it?
A box?
What's
inside?
I couldn't get
it open, man.
I tried smackin'
the button on
top, but-
Are you
crazy?
What if it
was a trap?
......
Yo, you show
me a button, and
I wanna push it.
Aight?
I think they
design traps like
this with you in
mind.
Sh-shut up, yo!
Leas' we
know the button
don't work.
Press it an'
this weird voice
comes out.
Oh yeah?
WRONG!
Layout reset.
Now what does
that mean?
Hmm?
We got mail,
yo.
"See you at
Towa Records.
"Key's in
the box."
This mail...
It's from
Kariya.
So the keypin
is in this box?
That sneaky
bastard.
How we
supposed to
open it?
......
If the box
says "wrong,"
then there must
be a "right."
We need
a clue...
Hey! What's that
piece of paper?
Yeah, they
was lyin' all over
the place.
Let's check
it out.
I'll hang on to
the box, yo.
You tell me
when to push the
button, aight?
Talk to Beat when you
want to push the button.
Just stand still for a
moment and you can talk
to him.
Huh?
......
Flowers...
Was there an
accident here?
Hmm?
Why isn't
he talking?
'Sup with
this piece a'
paper, yo?
Are these
markings supposed
to be Noise?
This star
symbol looks
familiar, yo.
Yeah, 'cause
it's on that box
of yours.
Whoa!
You're right!
Think there's
a connection?
You see
this piece a'
paper, man?
Figure
that mark is
a Noise?
There's a
picture of a
moon, too.
What does
it mean?
Yo, check
this piece
a' paper.
These markings
look like Noise.
There's a
picture of a
sun, too.
What does
it mean?
Ooh!
Lemme guess!
Is it...
push time?
......
OK...
Here goes, yo!
Careful when
you push it!
...Me?
CORRECT!
Box unlocked.
Booya!
We did it, Phones!
..."We"?
OK...
Here goes, yo!
Careful when
you push it!
...Me?
WRONG!
Layout reset.
Bwaaah!
Whatchu playin'
at, Phones!?
......
Don't go
pushin' the
button widdout
thinkin'.
Be smart!
That, coming
from you?
Aww,
no push?
I don't
think we have
the right
answer yet.
You sure
you ain't just
scared, man?
......
Talk about
projection...
OK, box's
unlocked.
I'll take it
from here, yo!
......
Sweet!
A keypin!
OK!
Let's hurry to
Towa Records!
Dammit...
Not yet, man.
This is a
Lv. 1 keypin.
It won't open
the way to the
record store.
But we
could get into
the Miyashita
Park area.
Well, no point
in staying here.
Let's see what
we can find over
that way.
Aight!
Follow me, yo!
Uh-huh.
Lead the
way...
Aight,
it opened!
Le's move!
Yo, we don't
have the keypin
for this wall.
Le's head
for Miyashita
Park!
Where you at,
Lollipop!?
COME ON OUT!
H-hey,
reel it in!
He already
said he's over
by the record
store.
Whatever, yo.
He can hear me.
I shout loud!
Rrgh...
C'mon, I can't
stand sittin'
around here!
I know!
Settle down.
What's got
him so upset
today?
Did something
happen?
Yo!
Phones!
I see somethin'
over there!
OK.
Let's check
it out.
What have
we here?
Anotha' box?
Again?
Yo, I call
Box Holder!
Jus' say when
you wanna push
the button.
...Right.
Huh?
......
Flowers...
Was there an
accident here?
Hmm?
Why isn't
he talking?
'Sup with
this piece a'
paper, yo?
These markings
are Noise.
There's a
picture of a
star, too.
Yeah.
We already got
the star box
open, though.
I think
we're done
with this.
You see
this piece a'
paper, man?
This mark here
must represent
Noise.
There's a
picture of a
moon, too.
Just like our
new box.
Ooh!
You solve it?
......
Sure you
got it right,
man?
......
You tell me,
genius.
CORRECT!
Box unlocked.
Hey!
Very imprecious,
Phones!
Rhyme must
have had her
hands full...
Sure you

Talk about

OK, box's

Let's open
it up.
I got this,
yo!
......
Bwaaah!
What?
There's a box
in the box!
Man, I'm sick
a' rackin' my
brain...
He's actually
been...
THINKING?
Aight,
your turn,
Phones.
I'll watch the
box!
......
Huh?
......
Flowers...
Was there an

Hmm?
Why isn't

Wow, Phones.

Let's open

I got this,
yo!
......
Booyaka!
Another keypin!
Now we can
get to Towa
Records!
All right.
Let's hurry!
But still...
You have to
wonder.
Why would
Kariya go
through all the
trouble
of trapping
us here by the
underpass?
To buy time?
......
Huh?
......
Flowers...
Was there an
accident here?
Hmm?
Why isn't
he talking?
All right.
Open it up.
......
Hey,
you got the
keyp-
Huh?
Where...
......
What's
he doing?
Hey, man,
what's wrong?
This is
where...
Flowers...
Was there an
accident here?
An accident!
......
......
Hey, whoa!
Tears?
Seriously...
Who are
you and what
have you done
with Beat?
This is
where...
where me
an' Rhyme
died.
Here?
That mornin'
me an' my folks
had it out.
Jus' like
always, I
took off.
An' jus' like
always, Rhyme
came after me.
But one
thing was
different.
The car, yo.
It came screamin'
toward her, I...
......
I jumped in
front of her,
but...
I ain't strong
enough to stop
a car, yo.
That was
our ticket to
the UG.
I'm...I'm
really sorry,
man.
I killed
her.
I stole
her future...
ya know?
Rhyme wasn't
a loser like me.
She had
dreams.
Things ahead
of her.
If I...
If I hadn't
run outta the
house...
Hadn't
fought with
my folks...
If I'd pushed
her outta the
way a second
sooner...
......
But c'mon,
man.
You know
she didn't hold it
against you.
I'll never
know.
...Huh?
But you
two got along
great!
Yeah, she
never blamed
me.
See?
LISTEN!
She...
She didn't
remember, yo.
Like,
her memory
was gone?
I dunno.
But we woke up
in the UG, an'
whatchu think she
said to me?
"Nice to
meet you."
I mean,
talk about your
sick jokes, man.
Rhyme didn't
remember a
thing about me.
So they took
her memory...
Like they did
with me.
Prob'ly.
But she didn't
win the Game.
So even if I
become Composer
an' make her
right again...
her memories
a' me might be
gone for good.
That's
terrible...
It's what it is.
But I
don't care!
I'm still
gonna bring
her back!
That's the
leas' I can do
for her!
I'm with
you, man.
Thanks.
......
Sorry, I'm
wastin' time.
We...we gotta
get over to
Towa Records!
Here goes.
Aight, it's
open. Le's go,
Phones.
OK.
Where you at!?
Come on out!
Is he even
here?
Tsk...
Fool's prob'ly
hidin' somewhere.
Yo, what if
we scan for
him?
You can't
scan Reapers.
No, but we
might find
anotha' clue!
......
All right.
Yo, Phones,
hold up!
Lollipop
said he's here,
right?
Le's keep
lookin'.
That's odd...
Huh?
Wassup?
I can't
scan!
What?
That's wack, man!
Try again.
......
I'm serious!
It's not
working.
No way!
Why not!?
Good
question.
So this means...
what?
Everybody's
a Reaper?
C'mon,
please.
You see
any wings?
And if they
were Reapers,
they'd notice
us.
Aight...
so then what,
yo?
Hey, look!
Red Skull pins.
Yeah, all
the people's
got 'em...
Wait!
What if it's
the pins?
Maybe they
block my scan,
like the Player
Pins!
Could be, yo.
Rhyme said
Players can't scan
each other.
Or technically,
people carrying
Player Pins.
It's like the
pin blocks the
signal.
So these
people is all
Players?
I mean,
if they got
pins, yo...
No, we're
the only two
Players.
I'm sure of it.
These people
are alive-
in the RG.
Maybe the
Red Skull pins are
like Player Pins
for the RG.
Naw, they
can't play the
Game if they alive.
THINK, man!
We can't all
be great thinkers
like you.
So, yo, the
Red Skull pins-
they a CAT
design, right?
Wow, you
know CAT?
Hells yeah,
I ain't stupid.
Everybody in
Shibuya knows
CAT!
The two
pins sure look
alike, huh?
They do.
It can't be a
coincidence.
The same
guy musta made
both, yo.
......
So that
means...
he's also
gotta be...
uhhhhhh
hhhmmmm
mmmm
...meh.
Riiight.
How 'bout we
go get Rhyme?
Oh!
Good call!
Lollipop
is waitin'!
...Naw, that's
ridiculous.
It can't
be him...
Oh, here
already?
That was
fast.
Yo, shut up!
You done sayin'
your prayers?
Still a ball
of energy,
I see.
Fine. Make me
do some work,
why don't you?
Here he
comes...
Phones,
careful. He's-
What?
Do I detect
WORRY?
Huh!?
Who are
you and what
have-
I'm right
here, man.
Quit that!
I'm jus'
tellin' you not
to screw up,
yo!
Tsk, tsk.
Squabbling?
You won't
beat me like
that.
Damn!
He's right, yo!
Come on.
What are you
waiting for?
You heard him,
Phones!
It's time to
throw down!
I'm ready!
Ooh,
very good.
Ha!
Eat that!
Betchu had
enough!
......
What can
I say?
I know when
I'm beat.
You win.
Here's your
pin ba-
What are
you DOING?
Ugh, Kariya!
You lazy bum.
Who said
you could call
it a day?
Now look
sharp before
I put on my
angry face!
Uzuki!
What are you
doing here?
I came
to see if you
were goofing
off.
And it's a
good thing.
Honestly!
I can't take my
eyes off you.
Oh, do you
have to be such
a drudge?
Hey, who
told me to put
my heart into
my work?
Now you're
just gonna have
to let me help.
Tha's perfect,
yo.
We'll take
both you and
Lollipop at
once!
How many
licks could it
take!?
Aight, Uzuki.
One more fight.
If I have to.
You have to.
I'll buy you
a bowl of
ramen later.
Bravo!
You got us.
A big hand
for the big
winners.
As promised,
your pin. Catch!
Yoink!
Hang in there,
Rhyme. I'll fix
you right-
Hey...
What are they
tryin' to pull...
Yo, punks!
This ain't Rhyme!
Huh!?
This pin's
a fake!
You dirty, lying
cheaters!
Damn!
I KNEW I
couldn't trust
her.
Hoodwinked
again!
Kariya,
what are you
talking about?
The Iron
Maiden gave
us a fake on
purpose.
What!?
Then where's
the real pin?
Where do
you think?
What!?
She lied
to us!?
Then my
promotion...
All of it...
Beat,
I don't know
what to say.
It's aight.
Betchu ain't
never even seen
the real pin.
How would you
know?
That's no excuse.
I should've seen
through the trick.
Here.
It w
up for today...
but take it.
A Lv. 4 keypin?
What's this for,
man?
For everything.
Right now...
the UG needs you
two to have this.
The UG
needs us?
Why?
Aight, man.
I know what
to do.
You...
you do!?
C'mon,
Phones!
Oh, yo, 'fore
I forget.
Hmm?
Watch your
backs.
And why
would we need
to do that?
The last Reaper
to give us a keypin
got erased.
We think
the GM was
responsible.
Dontchu go
bein' the next,
aight?
Aight.
Thanks for the
advice.
We can
take care of
ourselves.
Right, Uzuki?
Hmph.
They can mind
their own
business.
Go on,
scram...before
I get grumpy.
And, um...
sorry about
yesterday.
Huh?
Somethin' happen
yesterday?
I can't
remember a
thing!
C'mon,
Phones, le's
bounce!
Right.
We've got a
Game Master
to find.
...Face it,
she just used
us to stall for
time.
Kiss that
promotion of
yours goodbye.
Never.
Huh?
I won't give up.
Not now.
Don't you
see how messed
up this all is?
They treat us
field Reapers like
we're tools!
I mean, this
work environment
is just...ugh!
Ugh-ier than
it was back in
the day,
I'll give
you that.
Kariya...
I love this town
just as much
as you.
So I've
decided.
I can't leave
Shibuya like this.
I have to
change it.
All Reapers
deserve to enjoy
their work.
To feel rewarded!
My, oh my.
That certainly
sounds epic.
Well, you let
me know how
it goes.
Ha ha.
Nice try.
You get to
be my little
helper.
Bleh!
Since when?
Together we
can move up the
ladder-really
change things!
A happier
Shibuya for
all Reapers.
It does
have a nice
ring to it...
Anyway...
I'm whipped
for the day.
Fat lot of
good these
O-Pins did us.
You mean
these?
They're toys.
They don't do
anything.
No way...
Duds?
Something,
anyway.
Now how 'bout
that ramen?
I'm ready to-
Those kids.
They're fugitives.
Enough to warrant
an EC.
Why'd you
let them have
the keypin?
If the GM
catches wind of it,
she'll slash more
than our salaries.
......
Uzuki,
don't you
feel it?
Feel what?
Shibuya's
breaking.
Breaking?
Don't be so
dramatic.
The town's...
homogenizing.
Turning simple.
Hmm, now
that you
mention it...
The usual
cacophony of
thoughts has
quieted down...
Yeah.
Because they're
changing, focusing-
all on a single point.
You think it's
an omen?
Dunno.
I just hope that
point isn't a period,
The End.
Ungh...
ahh...ahhhhhh...
Uzuki?
Aaaaaaugh!!!
Hey, Uzuki,
what's wrong!
Nnngh!
My...
my head...
Hmm, that
took a while.
Longer than
I assumed.
Hmph!
This body will
zetta take some
getting used to.
But it's
only a function
of time.
Now...
let's crunch some
more numbers!
This is...
the scramble?
Another day's
gone by...
Bwaaah!
Crap, man!
Crap crap crap!
All right!
Pipe down.
How'm I
supposed to pipe
down, yo?
It's Day 5!
Where the
hell is Ironface
hidin', man!?
Relax.
We've still got
three days.
We ONLY
got three
days, yo!
An' I got
less than you,
remember?
We ain't
gonna make it!
I still gotta
get Rhyme
back,
then we
gotta beat the
Composer...
Plus that
WALL is blockin'
our way to the
Shibuya River!
An' there
might be more
past it!
......
Well, one
thing at a time.
First:
calm down.
Aight!
Fine.
That Lv. 4 keypin
we got yesterday-
what does it open?
Kariya's key?
Udagawa.
All right.
Let's search
there today.
Fine.
The Iron Witch
cost us two days.
I ain't losin'
anotha' one.
No draggin'
your ass.
We gotta dash,
man!
Dammit!
Where she at?
Take it easy!
You're just gonna
tire yourself out.
Like I care, yo!
Shoutin' is the
only thing keepin'
me calm!
You always
run on full
blast, huh?
Not even
close, man.
Only since
comin' to the
UG.
Yeah?
When I was alive,
I took everythin'
at my own pace.
YOU?
Yeah.
I wasn't crazy
about nothin'.
Tha's why
my folks always
bitched at me.
"You gotta get
into a good school!
You gotta think
about your future!"
All they
wanted was
results, man.
Like I really
give a crap,
you know?
Yeah...
I think I do.
They kept
expectin' stuff
I ain't got,
then made me
feel like trash
when I didn't
give it.
They'd say,
"Why can't you be
like your sister?"
I hated it.
......
So I quit
tryin' altogether.
Gave up on
myself, so my folks
would, too.
And the
funny thing is,
they did.
Not Rhyme,
though.
Yo, I could
rob a bank and
she'd still be
there for me.
She always
had the right
words.
"I know you
have a dream,"
she'd say.
"You just haven't
dreamed it yet."
......
But it
got old-
bein' pitied by
my lil' sister.
So I started
to push her
away-
right up to
the day we
died.
......
But you've
GOT a dream.
Rhyme said
you wanted to
be the world's
best skater.
That was all
jus' made-up,
man.
Made-up?
Why would you-
Rhyme was
beatin' herself up.
Said she had
no dreams.
"Why come back
to life if I've got
nothing to live for?"
she said.
Damn, yo!
Tha's all
backwards...
She's the
one who had a
million reasons
to live!
......
I realized
somethin' then.
Rhyme's all
I got left.
So I said
to myself,
I gotta find
the words, like
she did for me.
Tell her
her dreams are
coming, just
like mine did...
even if that's
just a big lie.
...But all I did
is fool her into
thinkin' I'm
worth dyin' for.
I'm an idiot,
man.
I waited too
long to realize
what she meant
to me.
I'm nothin'
but an IDIOT!
Beat...
You're definitely
an idiot.
A huge idiot.
Whatchu say!?
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.
Huh?
Like you're
doing right now.
Just go as
far as you
can go.
The "results"
will come later.
Right?
Phones...
I'm sorry
about Rhyme.
But what's
done is done.
Focus on
the now.
She wouldn't
want you
wasting energy
on regret.
......
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?
Neku...
You're an idiot,
so start acting
like one.
Don't you
turn into a deep
thinker on me...
yo.
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.
All right,
then.
Hoooooo!
I am so fulla
fight!
Time to win
this Game and
change the
world!
Hey...
Check it out.
A Reaper!
......
Wait, why isn't
he attacking?
Maybe he
don't see us.
Hmm...
It might be
a trap.
Watch
yourself.
Aight!
Yo!
......
Yo, outta
the way!
......
You wanna
fight, punk?
......
The hell, man!
Is he deaf?
Something's
definitely wrong.
......
Urrrg...
To right the
countless wrongs
of our day,
we shine
this light of true
redemption-
Huh?
Guy's trippin',
yo.
-that this place
may become as
paradise.
What a
wonderful world
such would be...
Yo, who
broke this guy's
antenna?
Look out!
He's coming
for us!
Yo, wassup
with him?
No idea.
But I'm
pretty sure he
wasn't in
control.
Neku, man,
you notice
somethin'?
Town's awful
quiet, yo.
......
Yeah...
Too quiet.
Le's try
scannin'.
See if we can
figure somethin'
out.
All right.
Something's
wrong.
I should try
scanning.
What the-
They're all...
they're all
thinking the
same thing!
Even him!
No way, man.
I mean,
this is crazy,
ain't it?
What's
happening to
Shibuya?
Neku, look!
They still
got on them
pins!
......
Huh?
Wait, hold
up...
Bwaaah!
Of course!
Yo, man,
I think I finally
get it!
Get what?
The Composer!
I know who
he is!
It's CAT,
yo!
No, it's not.
Huh?
Whatchu mean,
"no"!?
How can
you be so
sure?
It's gotta be
CAT, no matter
how you slice it.
The Player
Pins...
The Red
Skull pins...
They all the
same design,
yo.
The same guy!
But CAT is
Mr. Hanekoma.
CAT saved
your life!
Hanekoma...
You mean
King a' Coffee?
No way, yo!
He's CAT!?
Then that
makes him-
Stop!
Mr. H can't be
the Composer,
all right!?
A-aight, man.
Sorry...
So, umm...
I'm gettin'
kinda confused,
yo.
You sure
Coffee Man's
CAT?
I mean, how
would you
know that?
Joshua
told me.
And I believe
him.
The prissy
kid you was
with?
Sure you can
trust him?
He was my
partner.
I trust my
partners.
Then I hate
to tell you,
man, but...
Hanekoma's
the-
Joshua was
looking for the
Composer.
Same reason
as you.
And Mr. H was
helping him.
So, like...
he was helpin'
out the kid who
was tryin' to
whack him?
I dunno, yo.
I bet the H-Man
was just playin'
priss-kid.
But he told
me!
"Expand your
horizons!
Enjoy the
moment!"
The exact
opposite of what's
happening around
us.
This Shibuya
isn't Shibuya
at all...
He'd never
do this!
Hmm...
Sounds like
you're reachin'
to me.
......
ARRRRGH!
I suck at
this analystical
crap, yo.
All I know
is that
Shibuya's
messed up,
and the
Composer's the
one doin' all
the messin'.
Whoever he is,
I'm takin him out!
......
Now le's
haul ass while
there's still
time!
Bwaaah!
More of 'em?
Think they've
still got a full
deck?
Yo...
......
Urrrg...
To right the
countless wrongs
of our day,
we shine
this light of true
redemption,
that this place
may become as
paradise.
What a
wonderful world
such would be...
......
...No
response.
......
Y-yo...
whatchu want,
man?
......
We're
surrounded!
To right the
countless wrongs
of our day,
we shine
this light of true
redemption...
That this place
may become as
paradise.
What a
wonderful world
such would be...
......
Dammit!
We gotta fight,
yo!
Huff...huff...
Did we
get 'em all?
Yeah...
What the
hell they want,
man?
All that
redumption
garbage...
I don't
get it, yo.
......
It's not just
the streets.
The Reapers
are acting weird,
too.
What's causing
the UG and RG to
change like this?
......
Is it really
them?
The pins?
Yo, Neku!
Snap out of
it, yo!
We gotta find
Ironface!
All right...
......
Guys, what's
gotten into you?
You!
What, you
wanna fight?
Then bring
it, yo!
Wait, Beat.
He's not
acting like the
others.
Hey, what
happened to
your friends?
I...I dunno.
Up until
yesterday they
were fine.
Then, bam-
they all started
sayin' the same
thing.
So how come
you ain't?
That's what I
wanna know!
...Wait.
What if they
know I skipped the
emergency meeting
the other day?
And now
they're ignoring
me? Oh, no!
......
Or what if these
are our new orders?
...I better mimic
the others!
......
Umm...
"To write the
countless thongs
of..."
Dammit!
So the
Reapers are
acting funny
'cause of
this emergency
meeting?
What the
hell?
Wall's
busted up.
Like something
came crashing
through from the
other side.
But this
wall's Lv. 4,
yo!
Nobody could
smash through
this.
Not even
the top brass,
man.
Then what
did?
Whatever,
le's move!
Hey! Hang on!
It could be
dangerous!
But what
if Ironface is
back there?
All right...
But stay alert.
It could be a
trap.
The hell
is this?
It looks like
burn marks.
This place...
This is where the
Grim Heaper was
messing around.
No sign of
Ironface.
Le's try
someplace
else!
Hang on!
We should check
this out.
How, yo?
I'm gonna
take a picture
with my phone.
A picture?
Whatchu
want a photo
for?
I'll explain in
a minute.
First...
let's see if it
yields any clues
about what
happened here.
This looks
like the last time
I saw it.
Nothing out of
the ordinary.
Hmm, let me
try another
picture...
No way!
What?
Yo, lemme
see it!
Coffee Man!?
That's him,
ain't it?
Mr. H...
What was
he doin' out
here, man?
Why...
See, I
told you he
was fishy!
Why would you
come here?
It doesn't
make sense.
This can't be
you, Mr. H...
......
Let's pay
his caféa
visit.
Huh?
Whatchu talkin'
about, man?
We gotta
find Ironface
first!
Mr. H's
place is on
Cat Street.
We haven't
checked there
yet.
I get it.
Two stones
wid one bird!
Then le's
get movin'!
Nothing out of
the ordinary.
Hmm, let me
try another
picture...
......
Yo, look.
Huh?
Wassup with
you guys?
Stop!
Don't get any
closer!
They're not
themselves.
......
To right the
countless wrongs
of our day,
we shine
this light of true
redemption,
that this place
may become as
paradise.
What a
wonderful world
such would be...
Yo, snap out
of it, fools!
......
Dammit!
Not them, too...
What the hell
is goin' ON!?
They're
coming our
way!
Huff...huff...
That should...
stop them...
Beat, let's
finish this.
W-wait,
man.
Please.
Cut 'em
some slack!
Slack?
They're just
gonna attack
us again!
I know!
I know...
but...
They ain't bad.
I can feel it, yo.
They jus'
screwy, like
everybody
else.
Well,
they're definitely
acting different
from yesterday.
But if you're
wrong-
If they
try to attack
us again...
I'll erase 'em
myself, I swear.
......
All right.
It's a deal.
Huh?
Look there.
Red Skull
pins?
Yo, they the
ones the RG folks
all got on...
How come
Team Lolly's
got 'em?
Yeah...
They're Reapers.
I thought
the Reapers
was supposed
to be wearin'
them O-Pins.
Hey, you
think they the
same thing?
I dunno...
Anyway,
let's make tracks
before these two
wake up.
Good call, man...
Le's bounce.
Hey...
This is...
The scramble!?
Another day
has passed?
Aww...
HELL no!
This can't
be happenin',
man!
What day
is it?
Hey,
calm down!
It's Day 6!
Nooo!
Calm down,
I said! We've still
got time.
CRAAAAAAP!!!
Hey, we
don't have time
for nervous
breakdowns!
Yo, I'm
only human!
If the
Iron Maiden
was tellin'
the truth,
today's the
day I get ghost
for real, man!
......
We still have
to try.
Yeah?
Let's go see
Mr. Hanekoma.
Where-
Oh! Duh!
Cat Street.
We haven't
looked around
there yet.
Aight, sweet!
Ironface is gonna
be there.
I feel it, yo!
I ain't goin'
without a fight!
C'mon!
Mr. H...
I need to
get the whole
story-
find out for
sure he's not
the Composer.
But how
do I ask him
THAT?
Move move
move move move
move move muh-
WOOOVE!!!
All right,
I'm moving!
Whoa!
This can't
be real...
Yo, this is
creepy...
Everybody's
tuned into the
same channel!
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!
Yo!
You aight?
Huh?
...Yeah.
We gotta
move!
What?
Whoa, man.
An' I thought the
last one was
busted up.
Whoever it
was headed for
Cat Street.
Then it
musta been
the H-Man.
...Returnin'
to his lair!
Look, stop
imagining things.
It's pointless.
Once we talk
to him, this will all
clear right up.
Aight, man.
But le's hurry.
What the
hell!?
Who
redecorated?
This place is
trashed, yo.
You think
Coffee Man
did this?
Why would
he wreck his
own shop?
Maybe he
was attacked.
Man, I don't
get none a'
this!
The place is
deserted...
I'm so
sick a' this!
I mean,
what's goin'
on, yo?
The wall-
breaker was
after Mr. H.
Ironface?
You think
she smashed
it up?
No.
She said
she would stay
in one place
all week.
If she was here,
she couldn't have
smashed those
other walls.
Who, then?
You got me.
Somebody else.
Yo, we need
to find a clue.
Of course!
The camera!
What, that
thing you used
yesterday?
What is it?
It lets me
take pictures
of the past.
Whoa!
Tha's badass,
man!
......
Two days ago,
the Miyashita
Park wall was
still up.
Which means
whatever happened
here took place-
Yo, lemme snap
somethin'!
Huh?
Hey-
Wait,
don't-
STOP!
Huh?
Yo, Neku,
I think it's
broken.
......
The camera
only works three
times a day.
Huh?
Wait, so that
means-
Three pictures
a day.
Bwaaah!
Say somethin'
sooner, man!
Yeah, 'cause
I had all that
time to react.
Maaan...
I didn't get nothin'.
What a waste of-
WHOA!
Yo, Neku,
check it!
Hey, that's...
Mr. H.
What's he
doin'?
Hidin'
somethin'?
Let's check
over there.
Yo, it's
a keypin!
A keypin?
For what?
I ain't never
seen this one
before, man.
Well, we've
already checked
everywhere...
except one
place!
The Shibuya
River!
Tha's gotta
be where the
Iron Maiden is!
She picked a
wall we couldn't
break!
I knew she
was sneaky,
yo!
......
Hey, something's
in the envelope.
A letter...
From Mr. H?
"Staying alive in this
Shibuya boils down to
one simple trick:
"Enjoy the moment
with all your might...
whether it's gloomy,
whether it's bright!"
...Well, it's
pretty damn
gloomy right
now.
Mr. H...
Yo, he left us
the letter an'
keypin for a
reason.
He wants
us to go to the
River, huh?
......
Aight, then!
Hoooooo!
What are we
waitin' for?
Le's find
Ironface,
rescue Rhyme,
and knock
the Composer
flat!
Go to the
River?
It's more
than that.
Why does
Mr. H even have
the key?
What does
he want me to
do with it?
Is he sending me
to the River...
or calling me
there?
And for what
purpose?
Why, Mr. H?
Where
could Mr. H
have gone?
Will he be
waiting at the
Shibuya River?
What's up?
The hell is
that heap of
garbage!?
Heap?
...No!
What's this
junk doing
back-
Miss me
much?
Hey, now,
I hope you're not
IGNORING me.
You hollow-
skulled
hectopascal!
The Grim
Heaper!
Hecto-
whatcha-huh?
What
language is this
guy speakin'?
You're
ALIVE?
Zetta duh!
I've been
calculating this
from square one.
That attack I
used to bake your
partner, I used for
a reason.
Your...
your body!
Hmph,
this?
This is my latest
masterpiece.
I call it:
"Myself"!
Punk's
turned himself
Taboo, yo!
The attack
I used erased
me, yes...
But you're
back...
But I was
refactored, through
the refinery sigil,
into...this!
This body,
this power...
all through the
magic of Taboo
psycho-animation!
So YOU
made those
burn marks.
And now, this
number-cruncher
is back...
with power
that rivals even
the Composer's!
You gotta
be jokin'!
Tha's why
you Tabooed
yourself up?
Have some
sense, yo...
Sense is
garbage!
CRUNCH!
I'll add it to
the heap!
All that matters
is MY beauty.
Being reborn
from the sigil
was part of my
equation.
This..."Tabooing
myself up" was
unexpected.
...But it works.
I'll make an
imposing new
Composer!
Wait...
You went
to WildKat!
Yeah.
That set was
empty, though.
Rrgh...
Where'd he
run off to?
You know,
don't you!
Tell me!
We have
no idea!
In that case...
who needs you?
Attention, 000s!
It's time for
you to die 4
a cause...
Mine!
Nggh...
The hell does
this guy eat?
He's so
powerful!
Heh heh...
Slabs Of Ham,
Celery And Horseradish,
Tons Of Asparagus.
I'd say that's
about enough
calibration...
This time,
Composer...
You fall!
Yo, where
you goin'!?
C'mon, man,
we gotta go
after him!
What if he
beats us there?
Don't worry.
He doesn't
know where
"there" is.
Besides, we've
got the key to
the River.
He's stuck
either way.
Aight,
then.
But man...
That punk was
TOUGH.
Well, we
better deal.
He said his
power rivals the
Composer's.
What does that
tell you about
the Composer?
Yo, that's
nuts.
...You really
think he's that
tough?
We better be
able to win, yo.
You gonna
give up if we
can't?
Hells no!
I ain't bailin'
now!
Rhyme...
Rhyme needs me!
I'm goin'...
I'M GOIN'!
Hooooooooo!
The River...
The Composer...
Mr. H.
I better be
ready for what
I find.
......
To right the
countless wrongs
of our day,
we shine
this light of true
redemption,
that this place
may become as
paradise.
What a
wonderful world
such would be...
Oh, hello...
I'm sorry,
we're not open
yet.
Oh!
I know you.
You ate here
a while back.
Yeah...
sort of?
He remembers
me?
Circumstances
forced me to close
shop for a while.
But today
we reopen for
business!
Why not
eat before
you go?
Whoa!
This guy is a
chameleon...
Hey...
The scramble
again!?
Dammit!
We lost anotha'
day, man!
So it's Day 7...
Whoa!
Dude, your
hands!
N-naw, man...
I'ma hold myself
together!
I can't fade
away now!
Rhyme needs
me!
I ain't goin'
up in smoke till
I save her!
Yo!
Neku...
I, uh...
I don't got
much time.
I know.
Let's hurry
over to the
Shibuya River!
Aight!
Today we put an
end to all a' this!
The wall's
busted!
No way,
man...
You sayin' that
guy made a
Tabooty call?
Then he knows
the Composer's
here!
This is bad, yo.
He's gonna
beat us there!
Calm down.
First we have
to find the GM.
If we don't
save Rhyme-
I know!
Ironface...
We gotta find
Ironface!
Not much
of a river...
Still, Joshua
was bent on
coming here.
To see the
Composer?
To see
Mr. H?
Hey,
le's pick up
the pace!
Yeah.
What?
Mail, now?
Huh?
"Konishi wields
shadow and illusion.
You'll find only lies
with the naked eye.
"During battle,
she always
hides in the white
darkness .
"Begin by casting
Taboo Noise into the
heart of chaos .
"Then, once
you find where
she truly lurks,
"your real battle
will begin.
"P.S.
Beware of
shadows ."
What a
weird mail.
Did Ironface
send it?
What, to say,
"Here's how to
beat me"?
Right.
Who, then?
I dunno.
Well, we
better keep
movin', man.
Yeah.
Sooo zetta
slow!
Y-you!
What the
factor took so
long?
It's Tabooty!
Damn.
We don't have
time for this...
Move!
You ain't what
matters!
FOIL!
First, Outer,
Inner, Last!
And this is
the last stop.
Not even I
can break the
barrier ahead.
Her Iron
Frostiness put
it up.
She's here?
Dammit!
I knew it!
Tha's jus'
like her, yo.
Hidin' like
a coward jus'
outta reach!
Stupid
hectopascals!
She's not
through here.
Huh?
Then where,
yo!?
You zetta
morons!
You haven't
noticed?
She's been
with you...
...The whooole
time.
Behind you!
You you you
you you
you was
hidin' in my
shadow!?
I didn't
expect to have
to reveal myself
like this.
By my forecasts,
you two should
have been erased
yesterday.
Speaking of
anomalies...
Mr. Minamimoto.
Heh!
I'm only here
'cause your barrier's
blocking me out.
Unforeseen
circumstances
aside...
my plans are
proceeding
without a hitch.
You've yielded
far more data than
even I projected.
Shut it,
Ironface-
an' gimme back
Rhyme, yo!
Huh?
Why you copyin'
what I say!?
Like I said,
you've yielded
so much data.
See the
power of
foresight?
Hey, who
gives a digit?
Hurry up
and open this
barrier
before I
turn you into
Shibuya River
sludge.
All right.
I'll remove the
barrier...under
one condition.
Yeah?
What're you
scheming this
time?
When you
become
Composer...
I want you to
make me your
Conductor.
Otherwise,
the barrier
stays.
Heh!
You're double-
crossing Megs?
Analysis shows
that Shibuya is
heading toward an
untimely end.
If revolution
is upon us,
then who has the
highest probability
of surviving the
ensuing chaos?
A free spirit.
You.
Please Excuse
My Dear Aunt
Sally!
I zetta dig
your style!
You and me
think alike.
Fear 'n' mercy
are garbage!
All right!
You got yourself
a deal.
Then I'll
take care of
the barrier.
Attention,
binomials of the
UG!
Introducing
your new
Composer...
His name...
is ME!
Yo, where
you think you
goin'!?
Ah ah ahhh.
I'm afraid I
can't let you
take one step
further.
You'd betray
the Composer?
Betray?
I simply choose
to align with the
man in charge.
It hardly
matters who.
What?
As far as I'm
concerned,
anyone could be
the Composer.
Suppose
Minamimoto
fails.
By then,
Kitaniji will have
sustained serious
injuries
in the process
of protecting
the Composer-
at which point
I could finish him
in a heartbeat.
So everybody's
jus' a pawn to
you.
No matter how
this ends, I will
be Conductor.
Scheming
witch...
When the
Composer started
requiring O-Pins,
I knew the
UG revolution had
already begun.
Then what's
going on IS his
fault.
I don't presume
to know the
Composer's
true intentions.
But I intend
to outlive this
chaos.
She chucked
the pin?
These
"O-Pins"...
They're fakes.
Wear them, and
you're finished.
I knew it...
I have a
better pin in
my deck.
Rhyme!
Heh!
Tha's what you
think!
Please.
Spare yourself the
embarrassment.
My analyses
are never wrong.
Oh yeah?
Then wha's wid
the "unforeseen
circumstances"?
Sounds like
you can't predict
jack, yo.
'Sides, you
missin' somethin'
hella crucial.
I beg your
pardon?
Next Composer
gonna be ME, yo!
And I ain't
never makin' a
punk like you one
a' my men!
So suck on
that, yo!
Me?
Work for you?
Hee hee...
Ha ha ha ha!
You vexatious
monkey!
You're right.
No analysis could
ever plumb the
depths of your
fatuity.
Heh heh.
Damn right!
Uh, dude...
She's making
fun of you.
WHAT!?
It's YOUR fault
I didn't pick up on
Shibuya's changes
sooner!
You so busy
thinkin' wid
your head,
you forgot
to pay attention
wid your heart!
Arrrgh!
Enough of your
chimp-speak!
I will obliterate
any disruptive
elements in my
path!
Yo, Neku...
I got her pissed
at me now.
While she
comes after
me,
you snag
Rhyme!
I ain't a
Reaper no more,
so I can't free
Rhyme from
the pin.
But you...
......
Anyway, if...
if I don't make it,
take care a'-
Screw you.
I'm not
bringing Rhyme
back to life.
That's your
job!
I'll snag her
pin if I get the
chance, but...
the rest
is you.
Heh.
Aight, man,
you said it.
Then le's do
this thing!
How...
An error in
my analysis?
Impossible...
Sucks for
you.
How could
you have risen
above my
projections?
You're not
a Reaper!
How did
you summon
that Noise!?
......
Like I know!
And she's
not a Noise!
She's
our friend,
Rhyme!
Grrff...
All of this...
on account
of that stupid
chimp!
If only I'd
destroyed him!
I don't think
any of us can
predict what Beat
will do.
I mean,
look at him.
Rhyme...
Rhyme, RHYME!
I'm so sorry.
This is all my fault...
I'll never let you
go again!
Jus' you wait.
I'm gonna
give you that
second chance,
I swear!
Hee hee...
What a touching
reunion.
But ponder
this:
would your
sister care as
much about you
in return?
We took her
love for you...
It was your
entry fee.
You what!?
Your sister's
memories of you:
they were YOUR
entry fee.
Hers was
something
else.
You must not
have been very
dear to her.
What...
Hee hee...
That look on
your face.
It's just...as I
pre...dicted...
Rhyme's
memories of me
was MY entry
fee?
Then what
was hers, yo?
......
Screw it,
I ain't got time
to think!
We gotta
push ahead!
Right.
Huh?
Mail...
From who?
"See you in
the Composer's
chamber."
Yo...
You think it's...
......
Mr. H?
Yo, Neku!
Le's move!
Right...
The Composer
must be ahead.
Once we go on,
I don't think we
can come back.
Well, I ain't
sittin' out here.
You ready,
man?
Aight!
Full speed ahead!
Well, aight.
But don't
take too long,
yo.
Good to go,
man?
Wait!
Wha's wrong,
yo?
Behind us...
Something's
coming.
Ohhh...
What is this
place?
It's so dark...
and spooky...
And stinky.
Shiki...
Shiki!!!
Whoa!
Neku?
Beat!?
What are
you doing
here!?
I woke up
here all by
myself.
Yo, does
that mean we
won the Game?
Like, the Iron
Maiden was the
las' boss?
But if I won
the Game,
why hasn't
Shiki come back
to life?
Did the
Reapers trick
me?
Or-
So where
are we?
Are we all
alive again?
No, not yet.
This is the
Shibuya River...
in the UG.
The UG?
But why!?
I'm supposed
to be alive...
...You can
blame me.
They made
you my entry
fee.
I'm sorry...
Huh?
I was your
entry fee?
Then...
Wh-whoa!
So I'm your...
I'm the...
Whaaat?
Oh, NEKU...
Talk about
embarrassing...
I mean,
this isn't like
you at all!
That's 'cause
you haven't seen
me in two weeks.
You missed
a lot.
And I mean
a lot, Shiki.
Well...
Look on the
bright side.
If we're
together now,
you must've
won...right?
Now we can
both come
back to life.
Not yet.
What?
Why not?
We beat the
Game Master.
But I haven't
been taken to
that white room.
Prob'ly 'cause
we been breakin'
rules left an' right.
I'm pretty sure
the Game is null
and void.
Null and-
But what about
our lives!?
There still
might be a way,
yo-
if I become
the next
Composer!
How does
that work?
I gotta
take down the
guy with the
job now.
Hmm...
I see.
You don't
seem surprised.
Not really.
You both look
so serious.
......
So I guess
that must be
the only way.
Don't worry, yo!
I'ma pull this thing
off!
I know,
Beat.
Let's not
waste any
time, then!
If the Composer
stands between
me and life...
then he has
to go.
I...I have to
do it.
Neku, let's go!
Yeah,
coming...
Look!
There's something
there.
One of
Pi-Face's
heaps?
Le's check
it out.
Omigosh!
There's a
person under
there!
Yo, look
who it is!
The Grim Heaper
got...
crunched.
No way,
man...
This guy
was tough as
bricks!
Who coulda
done this to him?
You think...
Shades!?
Could he a'
done this?
I dunno.
But whoever
it was must
have been more
powerful.
But, like...
yo!
We lucky,
right?
Don't be
so morbid!
But we
don't gotta beat
him now!
No.
Just the guy
who's stronger.
Details, yo.
I'm tellin' ya,
we lucky!
......
Now le's
keep goin'!
What happened
here?
Yo, Neku!
Le's check
that garbage
heap.
Whew...
This door just
screams
"endgame."
We almost
there, Rhyme.
Hang on jus'
a little longer.
......
Neku,
you all right?
You look
pale.
...I'll be OK.
Come on.
Is this the
Composer's pad?
Wait...
I know this
place...
Welcome,
Players.
Ex-Players,
that is.
Your Game
has ended.
Now you
are simply
Dead.
It's him...
Whatchu doin'
here, Shades!?
Where's the
Composer?
Oh, is that
why you're
here?
And why
would you kids
want to meet the
Composer?
Whatchu think,
man?
We gonna take
him down!
Not a chance.
You're not
even fit to look
upon Him.
Whatchu
say?
The Composer's
utmost concern
is mankind's
happiness.
He exists to
shepherd the human
race toward the
right future,
and thus all His
Acts are motivated
by boundless love.
You think egotists
like yourselves have
the right to lay your
eyes-
let alone a finger-
on a being so far
above you?
You're not
even on the
same plane!
Yo, I don't
get a word you
sayin',
but you ain't
stoppin' me!
I'm gonna
take his place,
and bring
everybody
back to life.
You see!
That self-
serving rubbish
is the root of
all pain!
What?
Egotism-
disregard for others-
has caused Shibuya's
downfall.
And now
the Composer
must rebuild
from scratch!
None may stand
in the way of
that noble goal!
Nngh...
Gahhh!
Shiki?
......
She's not
answering...
You bastard!
What did you do
to Shiki?
Got him!
I see now why
He picked you...
Unnngh...
Aight, yo!
Composer's
next!
But Shiki-
Nngh!
Wh-what
the hell?
......
Shiki?
Damn...
She don't
recognize us!
Why can't
she-
Wait.
She has one
on, too.
If I break it...
It's no good,
man!
Girl be tryin'
to kill us!
We outta
options. Shiki...
Forgive me!
Stop!
Don't you
touch her!
Stupid...
Behind you!
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.
Now...
where's the
Composer?
...Alone.
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...
Who's Mr. H?
You again!
But I just
beat you!
Ha ha ha ha!
I'm amazed!
Here you
stand on the
final stage-
and still you
don't know who's
playing what!
What do
you mean...
All right.
You want
answers?
First off,
the Composer is
not the man you
envision.
Second,
the Composer
is not here-
and hasn't been,
since before you
came to the UG.
So sorry you
missed Him.
......
I have been
in charge of
the UG since his
departure.
Mr. Hanekoma's...
not the Composer?
Then you're
responsible...
For many
things, yes.
Why...
Why would
you do this to
Shibuya?
Oh, Neku...
Don't you
like music?
Huh?
Music requires
many things.
Melody, performers,
instruments...
But the key
element in the most
divine music is a
Conductor, to hold
it all together.
The world is
very much the
same.
Under one
Conductor, one ideal,
the world of men
marches toward
bliss.
One ideal?
Didn't you feel
it in Shibuya?
Rage.
Hate.
Misery.
Envy.
Fear.
Self-deprecation.
A cacophony
of countless
selfish wants.
As that noise
swells, it turns into
crime, warfare...
All the
world's ills can
be traced to
individuality!
"Ills"?
By tearing down
the differences
between us,
I can make
the world a
paradise!
By making
everybody think
alike?
That's not
even pos-
It IS possible!
With these pins.
The Red Skull
pins.
You're behind
that, too!?
I based them on
the Composer's
Player Pin.
You see,
the eyes of the
world are on
Shibuya.
What starts
on these streets
will spread across
the globe!
I can save all
of mankind from
right here.
Shibuya shall
be my podium!
I know you'll
love what I do
with it.
Now, if you'll
just remove that
Player Pin...
Huh?
It neutralizes
the effects of the
Red Skull pin,
so my imprinting
can't reach you.
This pin
protects me?
All this time,
it was...
What have your
dealings with other
people brought you?
Only hurt.
......
Join me.
Help me build a
new Shibuya.
Not too long
ago, I might
have agreed.
But not now.
I've changed!
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!
Then let
me ask you
this...
Do you like
people3Ƈ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ãƇ#ï...I see.
Hmph.
Why you would is
beyond me...
......
I see...
I think you
need to be
reformed.
Rrgh...
Save your
energy.
An unpartnered
Player has little
to no power.
You can't
stop me.
I...
I can't move!
Remember
that I'm saving
you.
This pin was
standing between
you and freedom
from pain.
Now, bask in
the light of true
redemption!
DON'T!!!
Welcome to the
new Shibuya.
......
Nothing
happened!
Wh-what!?
But I destroyed
your Player Pin!
Why can't I
imprint on you?
...I'm a fool.
Of course He
wouldn't let me
harm His pick.
Whose "pick"?
I owe you
no more
explanations!
Only
destruction!
Yo yo yo,
I don't think so!
Ain't you forgettin'
somebody?
Here comes the
Beat-wagon!
Huh?
Beat!
Shiki!
I told you, yo.
Ain't no one
gonna be the
Composer but
me!
How could you
go on without us,
Neku?
We're your
partners!
Now what did
Mr. H say about
partners?
Um...
trust 'em?
That's
better!
Yo, forget
this "partner"
crap.
You ain't my
partner anymore,
man.
You're my
friend!
So trus'
that, yo!
Beat...
C'mon, Neku.
We've still got
work to do!
Yeah...
Mr. Ringleader
here...
We jus' gotta
take out Shades,
right?
Right.
The three of
us can do it!
Now let's take
our lives back!
Right!
Get him!
I'm this close...
Once I
erase these
three,
Shibuya will
be saved...
Come to me, then!
Come meet your end!
No...
I must keep
fighting...
My time is...
almost up...
I'm back,
Megumi.
J-J-J...
Your timer
must be nearly
ticked out.
Joshua!?
You're alive!
But why are
you here?
No, Sir!
I'm not done,
not yet!
I WILL protect
Shibuya!
Hee hee...
It seems I've
won.
NOOOOOO!!!
It can't end
like this...
Who else
will protect
Shibuya?
A timer!?
Why does HE
have a timer?
Then...
You'll do as
You intended?
End...
Shibuya?
But
Composer...Sir!
Why!?
I've decided
to wash my
hands of it.
It has no future
value to me or
anyone else.
So, I'm
shutting it
down.
Wait, Sir!
Shibuya is still
full of so many
possibilities!
Yes, and
people too dull
and clouded to
see them.
Shibuya's influence
is too strong.
I have to end
it now...
before the other
grounds are
poisoned and all
is lost.
Then...the
problem is the
people?
If they changed
to something more
suitable, You'd
stay Your hand?
Yes, but
that's clearly
beyond them.
Sir...give me a
chance to prove
You wrong.
I swear I'll
remake Shibuya
in a way that
will please You.
......
A Game, then.
THE Game?
That's right.
The rules will be
simple.
If you manage
to fix Shibuya,
you win.
Shibuya stays.
...And if I
can't fix it?
Then you lose,
Megumi.
You and
Shibuya will
be erased.
...That's all
right.
If I can risk
my life to protect
Shibuya, I will.
But what
chance do I have
of beating You?
Relax, Megumi.
I'll be sure to
handicap myself.
I'll retreat to the RG.
And I won't challenge
you directly.
But I will
pick a Player to
represent me.
Since you've
piqued my interest
with this talk of
rebuilding,
expect me to
be watching from
the sidelines.
Very well, Sir.
I'll enter Your
Game.
Then first
I'll need to
collect your
entry fee.
You have
one month,
Megumi.
I wish you
nothing but
success.
You're going
to erase it...
The streets I
know and love,
gone...
You did well,
Megumi.
That was
one of my
more enjoyable
Games.
I gave it my
all, Sir.
I have no
regrets.
You know,
I liked your
idea.
Shame it
didn't work
out.
You gave
me a wonderful
opportunity.
Thank You,
Sir.
As for you...
Well played,
Player.
I still can't
fathom why my
imprinting failed
to affect you.
Me neither...
Wait!
That's right!
Another
Player Pin!?
Why do you
have two?
I only gave you
the one!
...Ha ha.
Of course!
Neku...
It's up to
you now.
Huh?
Joshua?
What's
going on?
All of this was
a Game-
one set up
by me.
What?
Then that
means you're-
Let me make
it obvious.
Hmm...
I suppose they'll
serve.
Wh-what's
happening?
I can't...
move...yo...
Shiki?
Beat!?
Hee hee...
It was me,
Neku.
I'm Shibuya's
Composer.
What?
But that...
can't be...
I know that must
unsettle you.
Especially since we
spent all that quality
time together.
Still, it's the
truth, and I need
you to face it.
Megumi and I
decided to play
this Game
to determine if
Shibuya should
exist or not.
Then everything
I've done...
All of it...
Mm-hmm.
You were playing
for my team.
Really, you did
a bang-up job.
I couldn't have won
without you.
Then...
What have
I done!?
I had one
role in this
Game:
picking the
Player who
would play for
me.
One boy...
from the RG.
...Me?
Very sharp,
Neku!
Give yourself
a hand.
I knew I picked
a winner.
But it was
Pi-Face that
killed me...
His bullet was
meant for me.
For some time
now he's been
after my seat.
Maybe he
thought I could be
killed in the RG-
a gross
miscalculation.
The Composer,
unlike the Reapers,
can use some of his
power in the living
world.
So, poor
Minamimoto failed,
and fled back to
the UG.
But I like
keeping him
around.
He knows
how to heat up
a Game!
Unfortunately,
he overheated
this time,
so I had
to retire him
early.
Couldn't have
him spoiling
the climax!
Then you're
the one who
beat him?
Why, yes!
You're just
sharp as a tack,
Neku.
Anyway, the
pest followed me
everywhere-
even into the
RG when I went
to get you!
Into the RG?
Wait... No!
Hee hee.
Why don't I
return all the
memories I've been
holding on to?
Nyaaagh!!!
Huff...huff...
It was you!
......
I thought...
I thought
I finally found
a friend I could
relate to...
But it was
YOU!
You killed me!
Hee hee.
Now, Neku,
why don't we
play one last
Game?
You tricked
me...
The winner
gets to be the
Composer,
and do
whatever he likes
with Shibuya.
If you win,
you decide.
If I win,
I'll decide.
...Of course,
I've already
decided.
You're a
monster...
Neku?
You'd better pick
up that gun.
I mean,
this IS going to
be a duel.
I'll keep the
rules extremely
basic.
I'm going to count
down from ten.
On zero, we shoot.
See? Easy.
Don't screw
with me,
Joshua!
I assure you,
I'm not.
Life's little
crossroads are often
as simple as the
pull of a trigger.
......
Neku...
Hee hee,
your face is
priceless.
Don't you
remember what
Mr. Hanekoma
told you?
I'm just...
Oh, before I
forget!
I've collected your
entry fee.
Now...
Let the Game begin.
10...9...
Huh?
What's this box?
......
Oh, snap!
Hey!
Not so fast,
son!
You forgot
this.
Huh?
What on
earth...
I'm sure you've
got your share of
headaches,
but you hang in
there, OK?
Sure, um...
thanks.
Don't tell
me he's the
one who-
Urrrg...
......
To right the
countless wrongs
of our day-
Hey!
Ramen Guy!
Huh!?
What just
happened?
This weird
voice popped
into my head...
Whew, I need
a vacation.
Too much
work!
Hey, wait...
......
So all these
boxes were from-
Nahhh.
Irasshai!
Hey, kid,
what's wrong?
You look down.
Buck up!
Have a bowl
of ramen!
-Game 1 -
Reach 104.
Time: 60 minutes
Cost of failure:
Expunction
-Game 1 -

P.S. This Game only has
one Player. Best of luck.
See you at Towa
Records.
Key's in the box.
Konishi wields shadow and
illusion. You'll find only lies
with the naked eye.
During battle, she always
hides in the white
darkness .
Begin by casting Taboo
Noise into the heart of
chaos .
Then, once you find
where she truly lurks,
your real battle will begin.
P.S. Beware of shadows .
See you in the
Composer's chamber.
Le's head for
the underpass,
Phones!
Dontchu slow

Hey...
Hold up!

Yo, she ran

Phones.
Toward 104.
Don't let her
get away, yo!
I gotta get
that pin back!
Come on out,
Ironface!
Where you at!?
Not here,
that's for
sure.
Dammit, she

Maybe she's
somewhere up
ahead.
Let's keep
looking.
You ain't gettin'
away, Ironface!
She ran
toward
A-East.
Aight, yo.
Le's move it!
Heh heh!
We got her

Ironface gotta

that building.
JUS' YOU WAIT,

that guy do the
Reaper Creeper
thing!
That Reaper
Creeper guy
ain't down this
way, man.
Let's head
back and check
someplace else.
Where'd that
guy go, man?
We need him
to play Reaper
Creeper.
......
Well, for now,
let's check the
other areas.
Yo, Phones!
We gotta
chase after that
guy!
Right,

that
Reaper.
What the heck
is she doing?
Yo, Phones!
The Reaper
Creeper guy
went down...
uhmmm...
Mo' People
Street.
Le's go,
man!
"Mo' People
Street"?
Is that Beat-speak
for Center Street?
Phones!
The guy was
over by Tipsy
Tose Hall.
Le's get him
to do the Reaper
Creeper thing.
Yo, man.
This could be
our chance.
Yeah.
Let's see what
he's up to.
So that Noise

Tha's right.
So we gotta

Mr. H
can't be the

Yo, Neku!
It's not like
I don't feel you,

We ain't got

The Reapers,
Shibuya...
Everybody's
acting weird.
Man...
I better be

This wall was

wall?

did this must be

the keypin.

Le's get
fired up!
OK.
First, let's
take out the
GM
and get
Rhyme back.
After that-
After that,
we knock the
Composer flat,
yo!
Hang on,
Rhyme...
I'm almost
there...
......
Neku!
Keep movin'!
All right!
The
Composer's
really strong,
right?
Yeah.
But we still
have to do
this.
I know!
Good thing
we have each
other.
You said it, yo.
Together we
gonna take back

We're close,

Talking about

Let's go!
Wow...
What's a ritzy
pad like this
doing here?
Yo!
We got
company!
Where's the

The River
ends here.
There's no place
else to go...

What the...

in my head!
What just
happened?
And where'd this
pin come from?
Hmm...
Wonder if there's
a connection...
Voices!
Definitely voices!
But why?
Am I
hearing people's
thoughts!?
What the hell
IS this pin?
Huh?
Whose phone?
Mine?
"Reach 104.
You have 60 minutes.
"Fail, and face erasure.
-The Reapers"
Oh, that's cute.
See ya, spam.
Deleted.
Huh?
Still there...
It's like the junk
mail from hell.
Oww!
My hand...
F...frogs!?
Oww!
What the...
They attacked me!
What do they
want with me?
D-down, froggie...
...Ungh!
What the hell
is going on!?
Somebody!
Help!
Hey...
Everybody stop
ignoring me!
What is
this place...
Crap!
I gotta run!
Man, here we
go again...
Stop whining.
We haven't had work
in, like, forever.
Exactly.
It feels like the
Monday after
vacation.
You'd prefer
a permanent
vacation?
Day 1 has the
most Players.
Now's our chance
to rack up some
points!
How else you
gonna make up
for last month?
Aight, aight...
One week won't kill
me. Probably.
Hey, while
we're at it...
How 'bout we
play a little game?
A gaaame?
Yeah, so it
doesn't feel so
much like work.
C'mon, you love it.
Oh, yeah.
You know me.
Sigh...
All right.
What's the
game?
How 'bout
Reaper Sport 3,
a Player Hunt?
Let's see who
bags the most
Players during
today's mission.
Are you joking?
That's no fun
at all!
You don't
like it?
But I'm gonna
crush you! There's
no contest!
Ohh, zing!
Now I have
to actually try.
You know the drill.
Loser buys winner a
hot bowl of ramen.
Huff, huff...
Should be...
safe...here...
Rrgh...
Freakin' frogs!
Just leave
me alone!
I didn't do
anything to you!
They vanished!
Why are people
disappearing!?
What's
happening...
Why am I
even here?
What the hell!
They're gonna
get me...
Found one!
Huh?
You!
Forge a pact
with me!
Uhh... I've kinda
got my hands full...
Listen!
If we forge a
pact, we can
beat the Noise !
Who cares
about a little
noise?
You wanna be
erased? Hurry up!
There's no time!
Make a pact
with me! Please!
A-all right!
I accept.
What's with
the light show?
Here!
Use this pin !
But...the
funny lights...
I'll explain later!
Right now we
have to stop the
Noise!
Uhh...
OK?
Get ready!
That fire...
I did that!?
Whoa!
You can use
the pin?
You must be
really good at
psychs .
Guess I found
the right partner,
huh?
That's what you
call those flames?
A psych?
Yup.
And now that
we've made a pact,
the Noise won't
come after us!
In other words,
we're safe.
Right.
See? All gone.
All gone.
So...what are
Noise?
They're those
monsters we just
fought. Duh.
Monsters?
Uh, sure...
And "psychs"?
Is that what
this pin is for?
Anyway, where
are my manners?
My name's
Shiki Misaki.
Call me
Shiki.
I call this
wack.
We've got a
long week ahead
of us!
A week?
Week of what?
The Reapers'
Game is seven days
long, right?
Reapers?
Excuse me?
Who is this flake?
So what's
your name?
Forget her...
Where am I? How
did I get here?
C'mon, tell me
your name.
The sign says
"Shibuya Station"...
Why am I
in Shibuya?
Something
wrong?
Wait...
The intersection.
I just need to
retrace my steps.
Hey, whoa...
Wait for me!!!
Why are you
following me!?
Why are you
making yourself so
hard to follow?
Screw you.
I go where
I want.
Go where?
We're trapped
in here!
What?
Don't be
stupid.
You're the one
being stupid.
We made a pact.
We're supposed to
stick together!
You can't beat
the Noise alone.
You can't
survive!
Survive what?
The Game!
Don't you wanna
win?
Pfft.
Play games on
your own time.
Hey!
That's not
funny!
They'll erase us
if we don't win!
You saw what
happened to
those people!
You wanna
join them?
Besides, we're
partners.
Partners
work together.
No way!
Don't make me
a part of this.
You're already
a part of this.
You're a Player ,
just like me.
A what?
I'm not
playing anything.
Oh yeah?
Then why do
you have a
Player Pin?
Don't you have
a timer on your
hand? I do...
What. The.
Hell.
See, you're part
of the Reapers'
Game, too.
......
We don't have
time for this!
The clock's
ticking! We've only
got 20 minutes!
Let's hurry
to Ten-Four!
"Ten-Four"?
What's
that?
Ten-Four!
104?
You got the
mail, right?
"Reach 104 or
face erasure."
That junk
mail...
Please.
What kind
of nut would
believe that?
Then again...
This day
has been pretty
weird.
And she's
gonna follow me
anyway.
May as well go
along and try to
figure this out.
All right, you win.
Lead the way.
Good. Now,
for the last time...
Tell me
your name.
......
Neku.
Neku Sakuraba.
Neku, huh?
Cute name.
Shut up.
All right, Neku.
Let's get over
to 104!
I told you!
We can't leave!
Oh, please.
Durff!
You gotta be
kidding me!
Next time,
try listening.
So this is all
part of that
"Reapers' Game"?
That's
right.
This is
nuts.
She's actually
telling the truth?
Then that means
the mail I got-
Neku! Move!
We have to get
to Ten-Four!
Oww!
It's blocked!
There's no
way past!
We can't
get through!?
But this is
the way to
Ten-Four!
Why do I feel
like I'm being
watched?
That guy over
there. What's he
staring at?
......
Pact
confirmed.
What are we
gonna do about
this wall?
Huh? Neku!
It's open.
What's up
with that?
No idea.
A lucky break,
I guess!
C'mon, we gotta
keep moving.
Something about
that guy in red...
Huh?
Where'd he go?
Weird.
Made it!
The timer
vanished!
Whew!
Mission complete.
Pfft, big deal.
What!?
Only an idiot
would screw up
on Day 1.
Who's there!?
Oh, no...
A Reaper?
Reaper...
You two are
gonna get erased
sooner or later.
So come on.
Help a girl out and
earn me a few
extra points, 'K?
Those monsters
again...
Neku, you know
how to fight now,<
This time focus
your thoughts on
me!
What?
Fight your
own battles!
Please!
To stop the
Noise!
...Fine.
Come on!
Good!
Now we can
fight together!
We can beat
the Noise faster
as a team!
Let's do this!
Is it over?
Not yet, Neku!
Over there!
Whew...
This one looks
tough.
...Like I've
got a choice.
Hey!
Stalker!
I'm not a
stalker!
Whatever.
Just...
Don't mess
this up!
I...I won't!
Whew...
We did it...
But you
heard her...
Day 1 is nothing.
What if the
missions only
get harder?
We've got
six more days...
Are we gonna
make it?
I...I don't
want to be
erased...
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!?
Nngh...
Where am
I now?
...I hope this
works out.
Hey!
Aaack!
Don't scare me
like that!
Grow up.
You're
obnoxious...
Umm...
Is something
wrong?
Where are we?
Isn't this the
underpass by
the station?
I can hear
the trains.
That's
weird.
How'd we
get here?
There's the
mission!
"Set the cursed
sculpture free.
"You have 60 minutes.
Fail, and face erasure.
-The Reapers"
Oww!
Timer's back.
What's it
for?
The mission.
...You really
don't know?
If we don't
clear the mission
before the timer
hits zero,
we'll both
be erased!
Sounds
crazy to me.
But...
maybe not
that crazy.
I saw it happen
to those people
by the station.
And met a
Reaper.
...I can't
believe I'm even
entertaining that
thought.
But I
know what
I heard.
...Wait.
Why'd the
date change on
my phone?
A day must
have gone by.
What!?
I think we
fell asleep after
the mission.
But that's OK.
We need to
focus on today!
Have you
lost your
MIND?
It's anything
but OK!
We were
in the middle
of the street,
in broad
daylight!
Why would we
fall asleep!?
So...
this "cursed
sculpture"-
it's gotta be
talking about
the statue of
Hachiko.
Maybe we
passed out.
And then...
woke up here?
Everything
in between is
a blank.
But then
what's the curse?
...Neku?
Did somebody
drag us here?
Or-
C'mon, Neku,
pay attention!
......
Hey! What,
now you're
ignoring me?
If we don't
work together,
we'll fail the
mission!
......
You don't
have to be
like this.
Sigh...
What am I
doing wrong?
......
All right!
No point in
standing here.
Let's go
find Hachiko.
Oww!
What?
Another wall!?
So now
we're trapped
in here.
No...
We'll never finish
the mission now.
All she ever
does is whine...
...Why not?
Because this
is the way to
Hachiko.
Then we
have to get
through.
We got
past the wall
yesterday.
Is there some
kind of rule?
What should
we do?
......
Don't just stand
there. Think of
something!
I AM thinking.
Maybe if for just
one minute
you could
stop your bi-
Huh?
Neku,
what is it?
......
That guy in
the red hoodie.
I've seen him
before.
Neku.
What are you
looking at?
That guy...
You know him?
I remember...
He was at the
crossing yesterday,
by the wall.
Who is he?
I'm gonna try
reading his mind.
Hmph.
What is it?
I can't read him.
What!?
You can't
scan him?
I had no
trouble scanning
people yesterday.
Maybe the
rules changed?
Or maybe the
pin is broken.
Can we finish
the mission
without being
able to scan?
Hmm...
What if it's
just him?
Maybe he's
special.
Neku!
Ugh...
What now!?
That guy is
coming right
toward us!
You.
Scan and erase
all the Noise in
this area.
Huh?
What are you
talking about?
Are those
the conditions
to move on?
I don't see
any Noise!
The world is
more than just
what you see.
He left.
What a
creepy guy.
I don't
know what
his deal is...
But he's part
of the Game,
that's for sure.
Which can
mean only
one thing.
Interesting...
His kind can't
be scanned?
......
"The world is
more than just
what you see."
So to find
the Noise...
Hey.
Let's get rid
of the Noise.
How?
They're not
here!
Yes they are.
We have to
scan for them.
You think?
All right!
Let's try it.
But first...
I meant to
ask you.
Shouldn't you
try some other
pins?
You've got
more, right?
Pins?
Yeah!
They should've
given you a
whole bunch.
You're right...
In my pocket.
Why not
test them
out?
How?
Remember
the flame pin
yesterday?
This one?
Well,
I wasn't able
to use it.
So maybe-
I get it.
Certain pins only
work for certain
people.
I've got to
try them all
and see.
...Talk about
a hassle.
All right,
let's see what
I can do.
You were right.
We have to scan
to see the Noise.
That takes
care of them all.
Objective
met.
But what
about the wall?
It's still-
Huh!?
It's gone!
Why?
Because we
took out the
Noise.
So that's the
trick to getting
past the walls.
But...
that's odd.
What's
odd?
I heard you
can only beat the
Noise in pairs.
But I fought
them alone.
Hmm,
me too...
I couldn't see
you while I was
fighting.
Because he
was in the other
zone.
Huh?
The Noise exist
simultaneously
in two zones.
And the only
way to defeat them
is by purging them
from both.
Wait, but-
What is with
that guy?
He knows
too much...
He must be
one of them.
Well, anyway...
You did great.
What?
You were
able to use all
the pins!
So?
You're like
some kind of
psych genius!
Come on.
Using a couple
pins doesn't make
anyone a genius.
Don't be
na¼!ve.
The bigger
question...
is where
these came
from.
Huh?
Neku.
You have two
Player Pins.
So?
So why
two?
You only
need one.
How should
I know?
Why do I
have any of
them?
I need
them for
psychs,
so I can stop
the Noise from
killing me.
But how'd
I get 'em?
Well, umm...
Two is better
than one!
So, like,
don't feel bad!
You're the one
who said I only
need one...
Think how
lucky I am!
My partner's
a psych whiz.
A genius!
You're a genius,
Neku!
I'd never make
it without you!
If you're going to
flatter someone...
you could try
to sound a little
genuine.
Neku,
you listening?
......
Stop that.
I'm just trying
to be nice.
I'm listening.
Well, how am
I supposed to tell
when you just
stand there?
You should
take off those
headphones.
It's rude.
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!
You don't
have to yell...
What am I
going to do?
Now she's playing
with her phone?
Forget this.
Hey!
Wait up!
Neku...
Stop!
Wait for me!
Where are
you going?
I'm your partner!
...Gotchu punks
now.
Wha-
Who's there!?
You got us
good yesterday,
but today
I'ma crush
you, yo!
Um...what?
You've got the
wrong person.
Neku, you
know this guy?
Don't
insult me.
Need a hint?
Go ask your
friends.
"Friends"?
What are you
talking about?
Shut up, yo!
You ain't
foolin' me!
I can't
scan you.
You gotta be
widdem!
You can't
outsmart me,
yo.
Wait!
Just-
Beat! Stop it!
They're not
Reapers!
They're Players,
just like us.
What?
See?
They've got
Player Pins.
Players must
not be able to
scan each other.
Remember?
You couldn't
scan me either.
......
Oh.
Yo, sorry I
jumped to
conclusions...
No worries.
You just gave
us a start.
Yesterday this
pink-haired chick
cornered us
before we
could get to
104.
Then Pinky
sicked a buncha
Noise on us...
Messed us up
bad, yo.
So that's why
you were out
for payback.
Yup.
...Hey, hold up.
We should do
introductions.
The name's Beat.
And this is my...
my partner,
Rhyme.
Hello!
Hi!
I'm Shiki.
That over
there's Neku.
He's my
partner.
......
Wha's with
the phones?
He still mad?
No...he's
just Neku.
Don't feel
bad.
...Hey,
I know!
Lemme give
you a tip to
make up for
jumpin' yas.
You figure out
how to use your
phones yet?
You mean our
cell phones?
Well...
we don't get
any calls...
Sending
messages doesn't
work either.
All we do with
ours is check the
mission mail.
Why?
Do they do
anything else?
We played around
a bit and found
some things-
Whoa, you
mean you ain't
usin' yours?
You two gonna
get owned down
the road, yo!
Umm...
I guess...
It's cool!
You two got
questions, you
ask us.
Gotta put our
heads together,
you feel me?
So about
the phone...
Yeah.
You can use
it to pick out
your pins.
Pick them
out?
How?
Well...
Why don't
you take this
pin?
Then you can
try it out!
We can
keep it?
Sure.
We had
extras.
Wow!
Thanks!
Touch the
cell phone in the
upper right corner
of the screen!
So we can
use the phone...
to pick out
pins, right?
Uh-huh!
Those are
the pins you
use in combat.
Cool.
You should
use that pin
I gave you...
and try
it out for
yourself.
We will.
Thanks!
So who's this
girl with the
pink hair?
Heh,
that cow?
She attacked us
in the scramble
crossing.
Those
black wings...
She's prob'ly
a Reaper.
Yeah,
we couldn't
scan her.
So, it
doesn't work
on Reapers...
Or on
other Players,
apparently.
Guess we
found that out
the hard way.
Sorry...
So if she's
a Reaper,
does that
mean she
gives out the
missions?
Who knows...
Yo, that
reminds me-
'sup with
today's
mission?
It don't
make sense.
Yeah,
about that...
What's your
take on the
mission?
The cursed
sculpture or
whatever?
It's gotta
be Hachiko.
Yeah!
That's just
what I said!
But what's
the curse?
Hmm...
You got me.
We should
probably start by
heading that way.
Can't.
There's a
wall, yo.
Again?
What's up
with that?
We keep
hitting these
invisible walls...
I think we
trapped in here,
or somethin'.
I tried breakin'
the walls, and
they don't break.
But some
you can get
through.
Hmm...
We noticed
guys in red by
the walls we were
able to pass.
Do you know
anything about the
Reapers' Game?
Just that you
have to stay alive
for seven days.
And somethin'
about a new
mission every
day.
The Reapers
send them?
Gotta be.
It's their Game,
right?
And if we
fail the mission,
they erase us.
...Maybe not.
Really!?
Beat and I
never made it
to 104.
But here
we are.
So like...
we don't
gotta play?
Sweet!
It's too
early to say.
We should
carry out the
missions.
I don't want
to find out what
happens if these
timers hit zero.
Do you?
Thankfully,
ours vanished
yesterday before
time ran out.
Hmm...
Ours went
away when we
got to 104.
Hey, you think
you and Neku
finishing the
mission
might've got
Beat and I
off the hook?
Thanks
for all the
info!
'Specially
about the
phone!
That's
gonna be a
huge help.
Heh heh.
Good!
Always happy
to help.
I feel
ready to take
on anything!
Yeah, well-
you might not
wanna say
that.
Rhyme's thinkin'
things is gonna
get tough.
Yo, we
should all work
together!
They say two
heads are better
than one.
And four
has to be better
than two!
Great idea!
I am so in!
It'll be more
fun that way.
Right, Neku?
...Do what
you want.
I work alone.
What!?
Neku, you can't
mean that!
Forget it.
I can't take
one more minute
of your nagging.
I don't need a
bunch of strangers
bringing me down.
Neku!
How can
you say that?
Don't
ask me.
Maybe I'm
just angry.
We're on
your si-
I can't
scan you.
You could be
Players...
or you could
be Reapers.
I have no way
of knowing.
But the
Player Pins!
That's not
enough.
Yo, Phones!
What the
hell's your
problem!?
We just lookin'
out for you,
and you treat us
like this?
Don't get
angry, Beat...
I can see
where Neku's
coming from.
I shouldn't
have opened my
big mouth...
Aw,
Rhyme...
Rrgh...
You piece
a' DIRT!
Screw you!
We don't want
your help!
Le's bounce,
Rhyme.
Wait, no!
We're sorry!
...They left.
Nice going,
Neku!
We should
all stick together,
and you know it!
Then why
don't you go
with them?
Listen to
yourself...
We're
partners,
Neku.
But I don't
understand you!
Let me in!
Tell me what
you're thinking!
Let yourself in.
You can scan me.
You know
that's impossible!
Besides, we're
right here.
Let's just talk
to each other-
And say
what?
I'm not
opening up to
anyone.
Ever.
Other people
just hold me
back.
I can do things
my own way.
N-Neku!
Sigh...
Tell me what
I'm supposed to
do...
......
Another guy in red.
We must be headed
toward a-
Ouch!
A wall.
I knew it.
So...we just
have to defeat
some Noise,
right?
She is so SLOW!
Do I have to do
everything?
Neku!
Where are you-
I know what
you are.
My terms:
Lift the statue's
curse.
You're a
Reaper.
I don't get
paid to chitchat.
Play the Game.
Hmph.
That was a
waste of time.
Lift the
statue's curse,
huh?
That sounds
just like the
mission.
But Hachiko
is PAST the
wall...
Wait-
Neku...
Please,
STOP walking
off without me!
Hey.
Arrgh!
My name is Shiki.
Can you say
"Shiki"?
Hey, I see
another statue.
Oh yeah!
The Moyai!
Like Easter
Island? What's a
Moai doing here?
"Moyai"!
With a Y!
Never thought
about where it
came from...
Think it's
cursed?
I don't know.
It looks pretty
normal to me.
Let's
find out.
Objective
met.
So the Moyai
was possessed
by Noise...
and we had
to scan to
find it.
The guy
in red...
Yup.
He's gone.
But we can
probably get
through now.
We freed
the cursed
sculpture.
Does that
mean we cleared
the mission?
No, that
was just to
cross the wall.
See?
My clock's
still ticking.
Yeah...
Mine, too.
Well, at least
the wall's gone.
Let's go find
this "Hachiko"...
our real target.
Neku...
You talk like
you've never
heard of it.
Nope.
What's Hachiko?
WHAT!?
How can you
live in this
country and not
know Hachiko?
......
Remember where
we met yesterday?
There's a statue of
a dog in the plaza.
That's Hachiko.
Now, I have
a question.
How'd you
figure out how
to get past
the wall?
......
Not again...
......
All right!
Fine.
Let's just head
for Hachiko.
......
That young
lady...
She has just
the ingredient
I need.
We made it!
And with plenty
of time left!
This is
where we met
yesterday...
So the two
places are
connected.
OK! Let's lift
Hachiko's curse!
And how do
you propose
we do that?
Well...umm...
Maybe we
could erase the
Noise around it,
or...yeah.
She's clueless.
This is why
I can't count on
other people.
...They're all
clueless.
No Noise
around the
statue...
You tried
scanning?
Then
Hachiko must
not be cursed.
Could we
have the wrong
statue?
Huh?
Hey, look, Neku!
Crap...
We don't have
time to hunt for
another statue...
EARTH TO
NEKU!
What!
Something's
wrong with
Hachiko.
Like what?
Hmm...
I'm not sure.
But it looks
different from
when I saw it
at Hachi Fest.
Then let's
take a closer
look.
Ahh!
Wait!
There are
consequences
to touching
Hachiko!
You don't
say.
Touch it, and
you might be
whisked off to
another dimension!
......
What the hell
kind of half-assed
urban legend
is that?
...All right. Fine.
I'll be careful.
But first we
need to do
some recon.
Hmm...
Something is
definitely off.
When I
saw him at
Hachi Fest,
Hachiko
wasn't like
this at all.
I should
get a closer
look...
Be careful
not to touch it!
What's
Hachi Fest?
Oh, it's
a blast!
It's this
festival where
you touch Hachiko
for good luck!
If you touch
the right place
in the right way,
your wishes
come true!
Wow.
Charming.
They hold
it every year.
And each time,
the place you
have to touch
changes.
But if you
get it wrong...
...You explode?
You get
cursed!
Hmm...
Sounds pretty
extreme.
Hachi Fest
is over,
but you
should still be
careful where
you touch.
So this
curse...
Umm...
I know
something's
off...
Well, you
just take your
time.
Cause, you
know, we've got
so much of it.
Meanwhile,
I'm going to do
some recon.
What should
we do, Neku?
I might
be missing
something...
I should
gather more
info.
Hey...
Neku, we
should try
that!
Try
WHAT?
Polishing!
Hachiko did look
a little dirty.
And I saw
this weird marking
on him.
What if it
was some kind
of hex?
Or what if
someone just went
crazy with a
magic marker?
Well, if that's
the only lead
we've got...
All right.
Let's try it.
Yeah!
OK, Neku!
Let's polish like
we mean it!
Isn't that gonna...
you know...
create a scene?
Don't worry!
No one's
watching.
And so
what if they
see us?
See us
petting a piece
of ROCK?
All right.
Whatever...
Grrr...
You say
something,
Neku?
Nope.
You know...
It seems
the more we
polish...
the less
this looks like
Hachiko...
GRRRRR...
Stop growling
and polish!
I'm not
growling...
Neku, something
came out of the
statue!
Neku, we did it!
The timer's gone!
So, there was
Noise possessing
both the Moyai
AND Hachiko.
And our
mission was to
get rid of both.
Hey,
Neku...
Yeah?
You said
before you
don't need
any friends.
Yeah.
Your point?
Well, you
couldn't have
solved Hachiko's
riddle without me.
What?
Get real.
If I hadn't
noticed the
pattern,
we might
not have cleared
the mission.
Listen,
Stalker.
I don't need
you to solve one
stupid riddle.
Riiight.
Well, if you
ask me-
Arrrgh!
This is soooooo
infuriating!
What...
You two again?
Huh!?
That voice...
You were at 104
yesterday!
You're that
Reaper!
Well,
excuuuse me
for doing my
job.
Then it's true?
A Reaper...
She gives
out the
missions?
You know,
you owe me
a bowl of
ramen.
For not
disappearing
like you're
s'posed to.
This...girl is
a Reaper?
What's wrong?
Too spooked to
answer?
Well, this
should bring you
around!
Huff...huff...
Nngh...
These Noise are
tougher than the
others...
Wow.
You're, like,
stronger than I
thought.
But I'm not
done playing
yet.
This next
Noise will be
a killer.
No...
I can't keep
this up...
I've got
one chance.
Hmm?
I have to
take her out!
Please tell me
you're not planning
on fighting me?
Ha ha ha ha!
How stupid can
you get?
You'll never win
against a Reaper!
But all right.
I'm game.
I was getting
bored anyway.
What!?
She erased her
own Noise?
You seem
surprised.
Aren't the
Noise on your
side?
Eww, gross!
Don't group us
together.
The Noise are
nothing but tools.
Pawns.
Just like
you Players.
Ha ha!
Rrgh...
I can't let this
brat win!
But can I
stop her?
I have no
idea how strong
she is...
Doesn't matter.
I have to try!
Don't, Neku!
You don't
want to take
her on!
She can
erase you in
a second!
Ohh...
Hmph.
Aww, what?
You're giving
up?
Booo-ring.
Don't get
my hopes up
like that.
Killjoy.
Now that I'm
in the mood...
maybe I should
just finish the job.
Huh!?
But...I can't
do that.
Huh?
Well, this is
a pickle...
Hmm...
I know!
Let's try some-
thing fun!
A special
bonus challenge
just for you!
If you pull it
off, I'll let you
out of the
Reapers' Game!
You...
you will?
You betcha!
Sweet deal, huh?
So, like,
what do you
say?
A ticket
out...
Neku, don't!
Don't listen!
You back
there.
Shut up!
Now, are you in,
or are you out?
...I'm in.
Neku!
Whee! 'Atta boy!
Now, let's get
started!
Oh, I forgot
to mention.
If you fail...
I erase
you.
What!?
Thankfully,
the rules are
veeery simple.
You have
one minute...
to erase
that girl.
What?
Erase her?
Yup.
Poof! Kaput!
Easy, right?
Just pretend
you're erasing
the Noise.
Whew, this
one's already
in the bag.
All right.
Ready? Start!
W-wait!
Dammit...
She's asking me
to kill someone.
There's no
way I can do
that.
But if I
don't...
Neku...
30 seconds!
Still on
the fence?
Then let
me give you
an incentive.
That girl?
She's been
spying for the
Reapers.
What?
She's a spy?
Hey!
What are you
saying!
Thanks for
checking in so often.
We couldn't have
done it without you.
Shut up!
Don't lie!
Neku...
She's making
all of this-
Your
phone.
Why did you
keep playing
with your phone?
Huh!?
Oh...
I was...just...
Just SPYING.
She's not
very good at
covering it up.
I didn't spy!
I swear!
G'bye.
And thanks
for playing.
10 seconds...
You're the
star, kiddo.
Just do
things your
way.
......
What are
you waiting for?
Do what
comes naturally.
Save yourself.
Screw everybody
else, right?
Don't, Neku.
Don't kill me...
I have to.
Nngh...
What is
this place?
It's dark...
Is it nighttime?
No, I'm indoors.
Wait!
The girl!
......
She's gone.
Because
of me...
......
I need to
get out of
here.
Where's the
exit?
If I use
this pin for
a light...
Huh?
It doesn't
work.
So I can't
use pins.
Oh, well.
I'll just have
to feel my way
around.
Footsteps?
Somebody's
coming this
way...
Ooh...
So dark...
Where am I?
Show
yourself!
Ahhh!
You?
Neku!?
You scared
the crap out
of me!
Don't do that.
I scared
YOU?
Where the hell
have you been?
It was dark.
I was looking
for a way out!
I must've
tripped a half a
dozen times.
Hmm, time to
try this again.
Neku, pins
only work when
we fight Noise.
Really?
Well...with a
few exceptions.
Like
psychokinesis...
W-well...
It's dark.
You should be
more careful.
You kidding?
I already found
the exit!
Then why
didn't you
lea-
I'm not going
anywhere without
you.
C'mon, I'm
not that useless,
am I?
......
Don't do
anything dumb
like wander off.
Excuse
me?
Which one
of us has been
acting dumb?
......
What are
you waiting for?
Do what
comes naturally.
Save yourself.
Screw everybody
else, right?
Don't, Neku.
Don't kill me...
I have to.
Now, let's
see some
results!
Hey!
That's enuffa
that.
Who
are you?
Ah-ah-ah,
sister.
You gotta play
by the rules.
Making "erase
your partner" the
mission is a clear
violation.
It is!?
I know that.
I was just
having a little
postgame fun.
What!?
One mission
per day.
That's the rule.
And only the
Game Master can
pick the missions.
I know
that, too!
But I'm not
the Game
Master.
Which MEANS
this wasn't a
mission,
which MEANS
I didn't break
any rules!
Then start
walkin', sister.
Your work's
done for the day.
...Hmph.
For a
Player...
you know a
lot about our
rules.
You...you
tricked me!
All that about
letting me out
of the Game-
that was
all a lie!
Like, that is
so rude!
I do not lie.
If I erased
you, that's still
letting you out
of the Game!
Ugh, you
totally ruined
all my fun.
Time to
call it a day.
We can play
some more
another time.
Thank you
so much.
We owe you
our lives,
Mister...um...
Hanekoma.
Sanae Hanekoma.
Think of me
as a sort of...
guardian.
I watch
the Game,
to make
sure shady types
don't start bendin'
the rules.
That Reaper
tricked us.
You mean she
tricked YOU.
You ignored
the young lady,
fell into a
trap,
and very
nearly snuffed
her for good.
......
If you think you
can do everything
yourself, you're in
for some hard
lessons.
Now!
Apologize to
the young lady.
'Scuse me?
Hard feelings
don't make for
good teamwork.
You wanna
survive or not?
Go on!
......
...Sorry.
Neku...
I, um...
F-forget it.
I'm over it.
I mean, you
didn't... She made
you do it, right?
And I should've
stood up for
myself better.
So let's just
put it behind us.
There!
Problem solved!
Now listen
up, you two.
There's only
one way to
stay alive in
this Shibuya.
Trust your
partner!
Especially
you, Phones.
"Phones"?
You know
what trust is,
right?
Partnership
is essential to
surviving the
Game.
Alone,
you face
limitations.
But
partner up,
and you can
smash right
through them.
Same goes
for when you
fight the Noise.
You may think
you're alone,
but you're not.
Your partner
is in the other
zone, sharing
your energy.
So you gotta
sync up and
send that energy
back and forth.
You won't
sync up unless
you OPEN up.
Talk to her!
Tell her how
you're feeling.
Lay it on her!
That's the
fastest way to
get something
across.
He's right,
Neku!
Look...
I know I hold
you back.
I'm not
that good at
psychs...
But still!
I want to
win at this
Game.
And I want
us to do it
together!
So tell me
what you're
thinking!
I just want
to understand
you!
......
Neku?
I want to
understand me,
too...
But I don't.
What...
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.
But...
That means...
what?
You have
amnesia?
......
Sorry to
hear it, boss...
That's rough.
I can't believe
you've lost your
memory...
You could've
told me sooner.
I didn't know.
It did strike
me as kind of
strange
that you
knew nothing
about Shibuya
or the Game.
What,
like you do?
Well, I don't know
EVERYTHING, but...
Anyway.
We got lucky.
Thanks to
Mr. Hanekoma
and his advice,
I feel like
you and I can
finally talk.
And he
gave us that
awesome pin!
Ahhh!
That almost
gave me a
heart attack!
Hey, you
dropped your
phone-
Ahh!
Don't touch it!
I got it!!!
Nice
photo.
...You looked?
The screen
was face up...
That's my
friend.
She was in
my class.
So all
those times-
Yeah.
I was looking
at this.
And you
yell at me
for keeping
secrets!
It's just a
photo. You don't
need to-
Look, Neku!
The mission mail!
...Huh?
She's
covering?
What else
does she have
to hide?
"Defeat the
master of
A-East.
"You have 360
minutes. Fail, and
face erasure.
-The Reapers"
The timer.
Guess we'd
better get
started.
OK!
Today's
mission has
something to do
with A-East.
A-East?
It's the name
of a concert
space.
I've been
there a bunch
of times.
You seem
to know Shibuya
pretty well.
Of course!
I hang out here
all the time.
Follow me!
I'll take you
to A-East.
The exit's
right over
there.
Wait a sec...
What now?
Umm...
We're here,
heh heh...
You mean
we were inside
A-East the
whole time?
You know-
How was I
supposed to
tell?
They had
all the lights off!
......
We're ahead
of schedule, so
no griping.
Now let's go
defeat that
master!
Umm...
once we, um,
find it.
It was too
dark to see
anything inside.
Then we
better take care
of the lights.
Otherwise
we're more likely
to trip over it
than defeat it.
How do we
restore power?
Somebody
around here
must know...
Welcome.
Huh!?
I thought
no one could
see us!
What, did you
forget, Neku?
It's like
Mr. Hanekoma
said.
Inside places
with that decal,
we become
visible so we
can do some
shopping.
Oh yeah...
Tsk, the hell
is he? We gotta
rehearse.
What's that
guy grumbling
about?
Hey, perfect!
You two.
Huh!?
Can we
help you?
H-h-hey!
Wait a sec-
Think you
could do a guy
a favor?
Sure,
if we can be
of any help.
Shh!
What're you-
Let's hear
him out.
Sometimes all
people need is a
good listener.
We might
even be able
to solve his
problem.
If not,
don't worry.
I promise I'll
say no.
You sap...
Look at
the bigger
picture!
My band's
supposed to
play here in a
few hours,
but the
tech's been
gone all day.
Could you
go look for
him?
I gotta
stay here and
hold down the
fort.
Man, where
the hell'd that
slacker go?
So this tech's
part of the
concert crew?
That's right.
He's in a
black tee.
Got a lanyard
'round his neck.
Without him,
we're screwed.
Why can't
you go find
him?
'Cause I got
a concert.
I can't go
wandering off.
The name's 777
("Triple Seven").
777...
777...
No way!
Like 777,
"Def M±!rch"
vocalist and rising
superstar 777!?
Oh, you've
heard of us?
Rock on.
We're still
totally indie.
But one day,
we're gonna start
a rock revolution,
just wait an-
Nngh...
CAWFF!
Whoa, are
you all right?
Yeah,
my throat's
just sore.
I had to shout
a lot during
load-in.
It's hard to
get anything
set up without
the tech.
Oh, you
poor thing...
No tech,
no show,
huh?
So if we find
the guy...
You can
rehearse if we
find your man?
Of course!
It's that, or call
off the show.
So how
'bout it?
Will you see
if you can
find him?
We want to
help, but...
We don't
really have time...
do we?
......
Sure,
we'll do it.
What?
We will!?
Yup.
Thanks, man!
You rock!
If you
see him,
tell him to
haul it back
to A-East.
I'll be
here waiting.
OK.
Hee hee!
Ugh, stop
laughing.
Sorry, I've
just never seen
you act so...
nice.
...She still
doesn't get it.
If the tech
comes back, he
can turn on the
lights.
Oh... Duh!
Neku, that's
brilliant!
Plus, that
777 guy?
He's a-
Now we can
help 777
AND finish the
mission!
Sigh...
Sorry,
but we've got
stuff to do.
It's cool.
I'm sure you're
busy.
Just, if you
see him?
Tell him to
haul it back
to A-East.
All right.
We will.
Thanks!
...Is that her
idea of saying
no?
Oh!
Then you'll
look for him?
Hey, look!
It's Beat and
Rhyme.
Let's go
say hi!
......
Why?
We're not at
a party.
What a
pain in the
rrgh...
Beat! Rhyme!
Heh.
Talk about crap
for luck, yo.
Here comes
Phones.
Gathered any
intel for the
mission?
No,
not at all.
But I know we'll
get through it!
We just have
to take out the
master of A-East,
right?
But then
what's this
meme for?
"Meme"?
What's a
"meme"?
......
I think Shiki
could use our
help.
We can tell
her, right?
Well...aight.
But only 'cause
it's Shiki.
So what's
a "meme"?
Memes are
words or ideas
related to the
missions.
Whenever
we see or
hear one,
it gets
sent to our
phones.
My phone
has the word
blackout .
Blackout?
Huh?
I just got
mail...
You're right.
It showed up on
my phone.
But what do
memes do?
They're for
imprinting .
What's your
take on today's
mission?
You mean,
"defeat the master
of A-East"?
We were
there.
It's pitch
black.
You can't see
a thing.
Pitch black?
Hmm...
That might
explain the
meme...
So memes are
for imprinting.
Meaning...
what?
Oh.
Imprinting's one
of the Player
Pin's powers.
You can use it
to send words
into other
people's heads.
This pin
can do that?
Oh yeah!
When you
imprint-
Yo, forget it,
Rhyme.
Don't bother.
Phones
don't trust us
anyway.
Beat,
don't be like
that.
A problem
shared is a
problem halved,
right?
If we don't
help each
other out,
we'll all...
We might...
Ahh!
No, no!
There's nothing
to worry about.
C'mon, Rhyme.
Le's bounce.
Hmm...
Beat's still
mad...
I wish we
could patch
things up.
Why?
Just leave
him alone.
Quit worrying
about everybody
else.
Well, at
least we know
how to imprint
memes now.
That was
nice of Rhyme
to tell us.
But what's
the point?
Well,
umm...
Ahh...
What should
I do?
Considering the
circumstances...
But...no...
that won't do.
What's tearing
that guy up?
It looks like
he can't make
up his mind.
Hey!
Neku, why don't
we try imprinting
on him?
Then we'll
know what it
does.
OK...
Why not?
Let's give it
a shot.
Erase XXX Noise
to proceed.
Another
wall.
No big deal.
We know how to
handle it now.
Hey!
Why don't we
try that pin?
Oh, the one
Mr. Hanekoma
gave us?
OK, Phones!
In honor of your
growth as a
human being,
and a
friendship saved
from the rocks,
I'm gonna give
you a little advice,
and a little gift.
Make sure
you remember
it all.
OK, but...
First, could
YOU remember
my name?
Um,
Mr. Hanekoma,
It's Neku.
Not "Phones."
Oh, right!
Sorry, Neku.
My bad.
I got it now.
I wonder.
So let's start
with some
Q & A.
You got
questions?
I got answers.
To win the
"Reapers' Game"...
you must
complete seven
missions, one
each day.
So...is it
true that if
we don't,
we'll be
erased?
Well, only
if you all fail,
to be precise.
Huh?
You two
aren't the only
Players.
If any one
Player completes
the mission, you
all do.
Then we don't
have to play.
Ah, but if you
all think like that
and ignore the
missions-
Then we
all wind up
erased.
Furthermore,
the Reapers grade
the Players.
Grade us?
Naturally,
you get points
for finishing a
mission.
But...
what are the
grades for?
On the
seventh day,
you'll know.
Just clear the
missions.
You'll be
glad you did.
What are
the Reapers?
Their main jobs
are running the
Game, and testing
the Players.
So like that sister
who gave you
trouble before,
they'll get in the
Players' way from
time to time.
She was such
a creep...
So they're
like some kind
of group?
Yes!
Very sharp,
Phones.
......
You've seen
the guys in red,
by the walls?
They're Reapers,
too.
I knew it.
Whoa,
really?
But the
guys by the
walls never
attacked us.
Not all Reapers
are cut from the
same cloth.
Some are
Harriers;
others are just
Support.
The wall
Reapers are
Support.
They won't
attack you.
All they do is
issue conditions
to pass the walls.
So they
don't fight.
The Harriers,
on the other hand,
hunt Players for
a living.
It's not just
their job, either.
If they don't
dispatch Noise,
erase Players, and
score points...
THEY get
erased.
So we're
their lunch.
Everybody's
gotta eat,
kiddo...
Mr. Hanekoma...
Who are you?
What, me?
Pfft...
......
All right.
I'll tell you
a little.
The name's
Sanae Hanekoma.
Born March 3,
blood type A.
I'm a Pisces,
and one hip café
barista, mista.
I didn't ask
for your
personal ad.
I'm a big gambler.
My favorite word:
"windfall."
"Natto" gets
my tummy
rumbling.
Like I said-
As for my
physical
dimensions-
Stop. Please.
So you
run a café?
I thought
you said you
were a
guardian.
The café's
like a hobby.
Totally hip,
right?
Yeah! I think
it's cool.
Uhh...
what?
Drop by my
place if you get
the chance.
I'll give you
the best
cuppa joe you
ever had-
in exchange
for cash money,
of course.
What kind of
invite is that!?
This...IS
Shibuya, right?
You bet.
But not your
Shibuya.
It's an alternate
Shibuya we call
the "UG."
"UG"?
As in
"Underground."
The UG is one
big chessboard for
the Reapers' Game.
You expect
us to believe
that?
The Shibuya
you came from is
called the RG.
The "Realground."
So we're in
another world?
No...
The RG and UG
exist in the same
space.
What you
see is the RG-
the real deal.
......
The UG is
run by the
Composer.
Who's that?
Shibuya's
supervisor.
Shibuya has
a supervisor?
Right.
I can't say
anything more on
that subject.
It's classified,
you dig?
Now, for
that gift I
promised...
In honor
of you two
making up!
What is
this pin?
It's blank.
What's its
psych?
This one's a
little different.
It takes two
people to use.
It only works
against the Noise,
when you two are
in complete sync.
The more
you get in sync,
the more you Fuse
your energy,
the stronger the
psych this puppy
will unleash.
You've got
talent, Phones.
You can use
a much wider
range of psychs
than the others.
Learn to
cooperate, and
you might be able
to use this one,
too.
Yeah!
You're great
at psychs.
Way better
than me.
You think?
There, see?
You take good
care of that.
Let's try and
get it to work,
Neku!
......
But...I can't
use it by myself.
I'm supposed
to sync up with
HER?
Not happening.
What good's
a powerful pin if
I can't use it?
Just to be
clear...
You need
more than talent
to use that.
It takes
somebody with
style ...
if you catch
my drift.
I'll use it.
And please...
My name is Neku.
Not "Phones."
Oh, right!
Sorry
'bout that.
I got it now,
Phones!
......
He was quite a
character, huh?
And really bad
with names.
What a nice
guy, giving us
that pin.
And fun
to talk to.
I'll give
you that.
Something
about him just...
pulls you in.
Not sure
why, but...
I kind of want
to talk to him
some more.
Neku!
Let's try
the pin!
......
So I have
to sync up
with her?
Pfft, right.
What's
wrong?
Oh, I know.
You forgot
how it works,
right?
You're
hopeless.
......
Let's
see...
First, we
have to fight
in sync.
And that's
where this all
goes to hell.
Then, once
we've got a
groove going,
this pin
will activate,
and you
can use it!
Great
explanation.
Ready to
give it a shot?
OK!
Here goes
nothing!
......
Come on.
What?
You're not going
to fight?
I'm not
ready.
All right.
No rush.
So, did you get
the hang of it?
Or do you
want to practice
some more?
If we work
together...
we should
get a ton of
use out of this!
......
Man, screw
the concert.
Can't they
hire another
tech?
Psst!
Neku, did you
hear that?
Yup.
Looks like we
found our man.
Guess he's
on strike.
He picked
the right noodle
bar to hide in.
Empty in the
middle of lunch
hour?
I'm tellin' ya,
I've got stage
presence!
I'm not the
behind-the-scenes
type, OK?
Well, just
remember, son.
The future is
a clean slate,
and you're the
chalk!
Now have
a hot bowl of
ramen and
cheer...
...up?
Hey, where'd
he go?
Sigh...
I can't win.
Young people
just won't eat
old-fashioned
noodles...
Neku!
The tech just
took off!
What?
Dammit!
I don't
care if I have to
DRAG him back
to A-East!
Whew...
I just can't deal
anymore.
Wish I could
curl up and
forget all this.
Wow.
Talk about
your negative
vibes.
He'll never
come back with
us now.
Yes, he will.
He has to.
He seems
so down.
I wonder
what's on his
mind...
Hey!
He's surrounded
by Noise!
You're
right!
It's like he's
possessed!
Man, now
I feel all out
of whack.
It just
gets worse
and worse.
It's no good.
I can't read his
thoughts with all
the Noise.
We should
erase the Noise
around him.
Then we
should be able
to scan him!
Huh?
What am I
doing here?
Oh, crap!
Look at the
time!
I gotta
get back to
A-East!
Good.
Now he'll head
back.
And once
he does, we'll
have power.
Pretty weird,
though, the way
he snapped right
out of it.
Yeah...
You think the
Noise are out to
hijack people's
minds?
But then
what about
last time?
Remember?
They erased
the people they
attacked.
Maybe they're
like the Reapers-
not all cut from
the same cloth.
Or maybe-
Well, either
way, they're not
good for you!
If we see
anyone else
possessed,
let's get
rid of the Noise
for them.
OK,
Captain Sappy.
Roger that.
C'mon,
let's drop by
A-East.
The tech
should be back
by now.
The hell
you been?
Go get us ready
for rehearsal!
I'm sorry,
777...
But...the
stage lighting's
busted.
It's what?
How're we gonna
rehearse-
no, how're
we gonna PLAY
THE SHOW!?
I got
a repairman
working on it.
That's why
I was out-
to pick up a
part he needs.
Great!
Then we're
ready to rock.
Huh?
You got the
part, right?
Umm...
Define "got"...
You nimrod!
Go get the part.
Move it!
Right away!
Uh-oh...
More trouble?
Hey!
Domo arigato
for findin' the
tech!
You're
welcome, but...
Something
wrong?
Yeah, sounds
like our lighting's
on the fritz.
The guy
just went hunting
for a replacement
part.
Nngh...
I've been shouting
all day long.
My throat's
killing me.
Guess we're
gonna be in the
dark a while
longer.
Think the
tech's got it
covered?
...Maybe we
should check
on him.
Man...
What do I do?
What was that
part I need a
replacement for?
I can't go
back and ask
now...
Hey, isn't that
the tech?
Yup.
Full of fail,
as usual.
Neku!
I know. I'll try
imprinting.
I have
to hurry!
And away
he goes.
Maybe he'll
buy the part
now.
Or maybe
he won't...
We'd better
follow him.
Quit playing
around!
Wait, wait-
I got the
part!
Damn right you do!
Now fix the lights!
Eep!
That should
do it!
Finally
we can see
inside.
Yeah.
C'mon!
Quit playing
around!
Wait, wait-
I got the
part!
Damn right you do!
Now fix the lights!
I-I-I will!
But first-
What now?
I thought
you could use
these before
the show.
Cough
drops?
I've really been
looking forward
to your concert!
......
...Go on,
get outta here.
Right!
Hey!
Y-yeah?
Let's make
rock history,
man.
Y-you
know it!
Good thing
he picked those
up, huh?
And now
we have light!
Finally
we can see
inside.
Thanks for
everything.
Here.
For you.
It's Def M±!rch
band swag.
One day
it'll be worth
millions!
Ooh!
Thanks!
I better
see you at
the show.
Later!
All right!
Let's finish
this mission.
Right!
Look!
He just went
inside.
Let's move.
Uh-oh...
Some kind of
trouble?
Umm...
Is something
wrong?
Yeah, you
could say
that.
Our concert's
about to start,
and the stage lights
are on the fritz...
Our tech
went out to buy
a replacement
part...
but what if
he doesn't make
it back in time?
Unngh...
I've been shouting
all day long.
My throat's
killing me.
Guess we're
gonna be in the
dark a while.
Think the
tech's got it
covered?
...Maybe we
should check
on him.
What's the
story?
This should
just about
do it...
All fixed?
Yup!
Try flipping
the breaker.
OK!
Here goes!
Hmm?
No good...
The power
blew again.
What!?
Why?
I thought
you fixed it!
What's wrong
now?
I dunno...
Maybe the
fuse wasn't the
problem.
Wait!
Something's in
here!
Huh!?
It's coming!
Get ready!
Geez!
Talk about a
heart attack!
But...
that was the
master, right?
Nope!
Clock's still
ticking!
You're kidding!
Then...where's
the master!?
No!
We're out
of time!
Don't drop
the ball now,
yo!
Here's your
"master"!
Beat!
Rhyme!
Yo, looks like
we made it.
Yup!
The timer's
gone now.
Mission
complete.
But...I'm so
confused...
Huh?
It's fixed!
You sure?
Uh-huh.
The lights should
work now.
OK, I'm
gonna go tell
the others!
Looks like
they're in
business.
This place
is gonna fill
right up.
We should
step outside
for now.
Oh, so taking
out the giant bat
wasn't enough!
Whoops.
Good thing
you two came
along.
We owe you!
Man...
You two shoulda
gathered more
info, yo.
I'm talkin' to
you, Phones!
Hee hee...
What,
Rhyme?
Stop trying
to act tough,
Beat.
We didn't
have all the
info, either!
You wouldn't
have found the
little golden bat
if it wasn't for
them.
Know why?
Let me guess.
We had to beat
the big golden
bat first.
Bwaaah!
Yeah...
You act like
you got the
answers now,
but you
was freakin'
out before!
So were
you, Beat.
Bwaaah!
Whose side
you on, yo?
Ha ha ha!
Hee hee.
Least I got
the job done,
aight?
...Heh.
Hey, I heard
that, yo!
Who said
YOU could
laugh at me?
Look.
The concert's
starting.
Wait...
'Sup now?
How come
we were able to
talk to him?
You know,
777.
'Cause he's
a Reaper.
WHAT!?
Mr. Hanekoma
explained all
this.
Did you
forget?
Now
listen up.
This Shibuya
ain't your
Shibuya.
It's the
Composer's
Shibuya,
which the
Reapers use to
run the Game.
No matter
what happens,
people won't see
you, won't hear
you-
and they
definitely won't
help you.
Your partner's
the only one
who can keep
you alive.
So we're
basically
invisible?
Only those
involved in the
Game can see
you.
So...the Players,
the Reapers, and...
you?
Right.
Why am I
even in this
stupid Game?
All Players
come from the
RG to the UG
for a common
reason.
And each
must forfeit the
one thing they
value most as an
entry fee.
What we
value most?
Do we get
it back?
If you win.
...And if
we don't?
You lose your
entry fee forever.
And-
well, your
right to exist.
That's
right...
He mentioned
only Reapers and
other Players can
see us.
So we're
on our own.
......
You think...
You think
we'll make it?
We'll make it.
No matter
what!
Heh.
Think you
can deliver,
Phones?
Hey,
you know...
we really
do make a
good team.
Starting
tomorrow, what
do you say we
work together?
We only
survived today
because of
teamwork.
I agree!
And what
doesn't kill us
only makes us
stronger.
If Rhyme's
down with it,
then so am I.
No objections,
Neku?
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.
Hey, Neku.
Remember what
Mr. Hanekoma
said.
"Trust your
partner."
I remember.
And now I
see why.
What else
can I trust?
Especially in
a backwards
Shibuya like
this.
Just don't
drag me down.
Yay!
That settles it.
Here's to
teamwork!
Today six
Players were
erased, sir.
Six?
My, my...
That puts us
at the 50%
erased mark,
one full day
earlier than
expected.
Higashizawa's
doing nicely,
then.
Yes, sir.
That concludes
today's report.
We have our
regular meeting
tomorrow.
Same time as
always, sir.
Right.
Good work.
Heh...
Is something
amiss, sir?
No, no...
It's just-
I have a
feeling that
tomorrow's
Game
will be very
entertaining.
Tick, tock,
Minamimoto.
You're 9 minutes and
42 seconds late.
Tick, tock
yourself,
Konishi.
Why are we
even here?
I can think of
a decillion better
ways to spend
our time...
than by having
MEETINGS.
Right, Megs?
You will
address him as
"Mr. Kitaniji."
It's fine.
Are we
all here?
Hey, Megs-
Who's the
bulldozer?
Meet
Higashizawa-
this session's
Game Master.
He'll be
handling affairs
in my stead.
You do
me a great
honor, sir.
Watch! I will turn
this week's fracas
into a fricassee!
You planning
to erase them,
or EAT them?
Yes,
crack your
jokes.
But his skill
is proven.
That's right.
Higashizawa
excels-
in tactics,
intel, willpower,
decisiveness,
performance,
his Player
erasure
rate...
He surpasses
our expectations
on every count.
A man of
sound judgment
like Mr. Kitaniji
would not choose
him otherwise.
And he knows
how to cooperate ,
unlike some-
Cooperation
is garbage.
Anyway, I'm out.
This is subtracting
from my arts and
crafts time.
Wait just a-
Mr. Kitaniji hasn't
spoken yet!
Let him do
what he wants.
Yes, sir...
Now, then...
Higashizawa.
You're doing
very well.
Thank you, sir!
Over half the Players
have been erased.
The plates have
been licked...
Dessert is
imminent.
Excellent.
I look forward
to it.
I spoke to
the Composer
about your
promotion.
We are in
agreement.
Thank you
very much,
sir.
I feel you
are ready...
but, I have
one condition.
What, sir?
Name it.
I expect you,
as my proxy
in the Game,
to leave
no Player
unerased.
Fear not,
sir.
The proof is
in the pudding.
The pudding...
of their doom.
Yawwwn...
Where am I
now?
Hey, you
awake?
What are
you doing?
Just people-
watching.
I mean, look
at them all...
Shibuya's
so diverse.
And everybody's
got their own story.
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.
But yo,
you ever try
scanning 'em all?
It's like havin'
the radio on every
channel at once.
Yeah...
Like everybody's
values
are all
trying to come in
the loudest.
No other
town compares.
Shibuya's a
battlefield.
Yeah...
It is kinda
like that.
A clash
of creeds.
But man...
All these
people,
and they
can't even see
us, yo.
Yeah...
Makes you sad,
huh?
Sad!?
I'm
thankful.
Nobody
sees me.
Nobody
bothers me.
And nobody
expects anything
of me.
This is like
a dream.
Once I survive
the seven days,
does the
dream end?
Go back
to the old
Shibuya?
......
Mission
time, yo!
Nothing the
four of us
can't handle!
Yeah!
"Reach
Towa Records.
"No time limit.
Fail, and face erasure.
-The Reapers"
Huh?
No time limit?
But...
that's waaay
simple!
Towa Records
is a ten-minute
walk.
Why wouldn't
they set a time
limit?
So we're
just walkin' a
couple blocks?
Man. I was
pumped for a
brawl, yo!
Guess
we don't need
to team up.
......
But this is
too weird.
Hundred yen
says they've got
something else up
their sleeves.
Yo, hold up!
I jus' got a
great idea!
So what's your
great idea?
For today's
mission...
How 'bout
you two race
us two,
and we see
who gets to
Towa Records
first?
Whaaat?
C'mon,
Rhyme, le's
book it!
Wha...huh!?
Wait, Beat!
Heh heh...
Beat's got a
lot of energy,
huh?
Yeah.
He keeps me
on the ball.
Sometimes he
can get a little
crazy, though.
Beat's the
one who asked
me to be his
partner.
Wow,
so you-
Omigosh...
Rhyme, is
that what I
think it is?
Huh?
What?
That pendant!
Where did you
find one?
Oh, this?
Yeah, I heard
they sold out
quick.
How'd
you know
about it?
I saw it in a
magazine.
I looove
following the
latest clothes and
accessories.
Lucky...
I wanted one
sooo bad.
I'm sorry I can't
give you mine.
But it was
a present from
my brother.
You've got
a brother?
Yeah.
Older.
He's really
nice.
Hope he's
OK...
Oh, I'm sure
he's doing great.
And you'll see
him soon!
Yeah...
I hope so.
So you're
into fashion?
Totally!
I want to be
a designer.
I love making
clothes.
But right
now it's just
a hobby.
I still think
it's pretty
cool.
It must be
nice to have
a dream-
to be head
over heels about
something.
I don't know
what it's like.
Not really.
Why not?
You don't
have any
dreams?
No...
But when
I look at Beat
I think:
keep moving
forward.
Because
someday my
dream will
find me.
Yeah.
Beat's really
good at
skateboarding.
He says
his dream is to
be the world's
greatest skater.
If he can
do it, then
so can I.
Right, Shik-
YO, RHYME!
Whatchu doin'?
Move it!
We don't
want Phones
to win!
Just a
minute, Beat!
Patience is a
virtue!
Well, I'd
better go.
See you at
Towa Records!
Whoa!
Beat's just a
speck now.
Rhyme must
have a rough time
keeping up.
I'll say.
So, um, shouldn't
we hurry?
I never
agreed to
race.
If he wants
to run, good
for him.
Then we can
slow down for
a bit?
Sure,
why not?
There's no time
limit, and those
two have got a
head start.
So...we can
take a little
side trip?
Where are
you going with
this?
Mind if
we stop at
Ten-Four?
...I guess not.
Really?
Thanks!
...Yooo!
Where you goin'!?
What's up?
Like I said,
I got a great
idea!
Yeah?
Like,
what gives,
Kariya!?
Who made
today's mission for
ages 3 and up!?
Aight, easy, girl.
Deep breaths.
Stress is
bad for your
complexion.
Well, excuse me!
Easy missions
make me furious!
Ugh.
I need to go
destroy some
Players-
Whoa, let's
think about
this.
Put yourself
in the Players'
shoes.
You've made it to
Day 4, the mission's
a breeze...
What are
you gonna
think?
Hmph...
Point taken.
Guess the
boss thought
it through.
'Sides...
Days off are like
love letters from
the higher-ups.
We can't
go full blast
all week.
We'd never
make it.
Please.
Since when does
your dial even GO
to full blast?
Details.
Anyway,
we've got our own
orders straight from
the boss.
All right...
You win.
Let's see
how this plays
out.
Ugh...
It's a zoo
in here.
Are they
having a sale
or what?
No, silly.
Ten-Four's always
like this.
Ah! Omigosh!
That outfit!
Is that the
new line?
You don't
know how badly
me and Eri-
......
Sorry...
Me and my
friend used to
come here.
...Friend?
The girl on
her phone?
IT'S
HEEEEEEM!
Noise!?
Hey...
Over there!
The Prince
looks sooo
hot!
I gotta snap
a photo with
my phone!
Oh.
Not Noise...
Just noisy.
Who is
that guy?
Eiji Oji.
The Prince
of Ennui?
He's the
latest superstar.
People love his
don't-give-a-damn
attitude.
His blog,
"F Everything,"
gets 100,000
hits a day!
"F Everything"?
What kind of blog
is that?
Hmm?
You, young
man!
Huh?
What are
you doing in
Ten-Four
if you can't
even coordinate
an outfit?
Have you no
sense of Shibuya's
trends ?
Who the...
Sigh.
Trends?
Yeah, you
know. Like what
brands are hot?
Ah, the
blessed voice
of wisdom.
At least
one of you
knows how
to dress.
I have to!
Shibuya is every
girl's war zone.
Good thing
I'm not a
girl...
You should
know a trendy
outfit
can turn a
pigsty into the
loveliest of
gardens .
But you, in
that outfit?
It's like wrapping
the rose of youth
into a spicy
tuna roll .
Arrogant
snob.
I am not
a...a spicy
tuna roll!
He's right,
Neku. As long as
we're here-
Oh, no.
Count me out.
I don't care
about trends.
I wear
what I want
to wear.
Ugh, no,
you can't do
that!
They call
it a fashion
statement for
a reason!
How you
dress sends a
clear message.
Then I wish
I had more
zippers...
so I could
tell you to
ZIP IT.
Look, you've
got potential.
You could
be sooo much
cooler.
And I KNOW
fashion.
C'mon,
it's so easy to
be trendy.
......
Well, I'm
not going to
force you.
But your
clothes...
They're,
um...
......
Not, like,
bad, but...
WHAT?
Ahh!
Nothing, nothing!
Just forget I
brought it up.
Suddenly,
I feel naked.
So what's
so great about
trends?
Oh!
Changed your
mind?
'Course not.
I'm just
asking.
Well,
Shibuya's kind
of unique.
Trends here
change really
quickly.
And they
change YOU,
and the people
around you.
So it's better
for you
if you can
stay in control
of them.
Better how?
Shibuya has 13 brands .
Their popularity
determines where they
fall on the brand charts .
Each area has its own
brand chart which you
can view from the
Phone Menu.
The chart's hottest
brands earn an Attack
bonus in combat!
But on the flip side...
I don't need
help being cool.
I know
what I'm doing,
Neku.
I've been
studying fashion
bit by bit,
so I can
be a designer
one day.
No kidding.
I've always
liked to sew.
I started
with little things
like stuffed
animals.
So the one
you're always
carting around-
you made that?
Yup.
The clothes I've
got on, too.
Seriously!?
Wow.
They look like
what you'd buy
in a store.
Heh,
thanks.
But the
clothes, I just
sewed them.
Eri did the
design.
She's the
amazing one.
Eri?
Oh.
The girl from
her phone.
I still have a
lot to learn.
But one day...
So that
stuffed animal is
your creation.
I...I made him
a long time ago,
so he's not very
good.
Why do you
still have it?
Stuffed animals
are for kids.
Shut up!
This is my
psych!
How else am
I gonna fight off
the Noise?
That...
is your psych?
You mean...
you use
that piggy as
a weapon?
He's not
a pig!
He's a cat!
Mr. Mew the
cat!
"Mr. Mew"?
How old
is she?
Three?
Look, I only
know how to use
tele...whatever.
Telekinesis?
OK, but why a
stuffed animal?
Couldn't you
pick something
more powerful?
Like a knife,
or a...a lead pipe
or something?
I tried.
But Mr. Mew was
the only thing
that worked.
Besides,
I'm not really
moving him.
He just
sort of does
his own thing.
Umm...
That's not
telekinesis.
Hmm...
I guess not.
The pig moves
on its own?
What if it's
possessed-
waiting to
pork-chop us
in the back of
the head?
I know he
turned out awful,
but...
without him,
I never would've
started sewing
for real.
So, a fashion
designer, huh?
Yup!
I want to make
clothes for a
living.
Nice clothes
make people
happy.
And that
makes me happy,
too.
Hmph.
She's got
her whole future
planned out.
Never woulda
thought.
So that's
why you're so
picky about
clothes.
Heh heh,
I try.
But I
still have a
ways to go.
There's so
much to learn.
Cool.
I didn't give
her enough
credit.
She's got
a dream.
That's more
than I can
say.
Pay attention
to the trends from
now on, Neku.
......
OK, let's
head to Towa
Records.
Beat and Rhyme
are probably
waiting.
Hey, Neku...
Hold up.
What?
When I scan,
sometimes I see
this weird green
symbol.
Wonder what
it is.
Green
symbol?
......
Hey,
you're right.
Reminds me
of a pig.
Hey!
Remember?
The special
Noise!
The ones
Mr. Hanekoma
mentioned.
You mean the
Pig Noise ?
He said
Pig Noise always
drop pins.
Uh-huh.
So, like,
shouldn't we go
fight them?
Free stuff!
Big deal.
Plus the pins
you're wearing will
get stronger from
fighting.
It's a win-win
situation.
Right?
...Right.
Good, it's
settled.
Let's take those
piggies out!
Hmm...
And the pig
indicator on my
phone is lit.
Your phone's pig indicator
(i
of the bottom screen) will
light up when you enter an
area with Pig Noise .
That's your cue to scan
the area and put the
little porkers on ice!
Ahh, enough!
Just looking at
you makes me
cringe!
What did
I do!?
What's
gotten into
her?
It's coming
loose.
Umm...
What,
your grip on
reality?
Neku...
That button on
your shorts.
Oh, yeah.
What does
it matt-
It matters!
I can't
stand things
like that!
Who cares?
It's just a
button.
Off.
What?
Your shorts.
Take them off!
I'll fix the
button.
Are you high!?
I'm not
taking my pants
off in front of
you-
in the middle
of the street!
Oh, grow up.
What, are you
going commando?
You're invisible!
No one's
watching.
YOU'RE
watching!
Now!
Pants! Off!
Doooooon't!!!
There.
All done!
Whew,
I feel much
better.
Loose
buttons drive
me nuts.
That was...
fast...
You always
carry around
a needle and
thread?
Of course.
They come
in handy.
Plus I enjoy
sewing.
If you need
anything else
mended,
just say
the word!
......
Will I have to
strip again?
I'd better
take care of
my clothes...
How's work
going, Makoto?
Bad.
The boss
wants me to
promote some
new pins.
But how?
I don't
know anything
about pins.
Sounds
rough.
Yeah.
I've been trying
to study up.
Like, people
use pins to play
Tin Pin Slammer,
right?
So I'm thinking
of hitting the slam-off
at Molco next week.
To pick up
the lingo, you
know?
But tickets
are completely
sold out.
The Tin Pin
slam-off,
huh...
If you
had a ticket,
you'd go?
Uh-huh.
Hmm...
Huh?
Isn't that...
......
Oh, hey!
There's Beat
and Rhyme.
The hell you
been, yo?
This is
a race!
Ain't you
even tryin'?
Nope.
You're on your
own there.
Ain't you angry
you lost?
Don't you
wanna WIN?
Don't YOU?
Why did you
wait for us?
We...
We was just...
Hee hee...
Beat said
we should let
you catch up.
Bwaaah!
Yo, Rhyme,
can it!
Aww, Beat's
a big softy
underneath!
Shh...Shiki!
Not you, too!
I...I just
wanted to see
Phones squirm,
tha's all.
Now le's
get this mission
over with.
We got
here first,
so we win.
Eat that,
slowpokes.
Uh-huh.
Consider it
eaten.
Heh heh!
C'mon, Rhyme.
Le's bounce!
W-wait,
Beat!
You're going to
trip if you don't
slow down!
She's so
lucky, having her
best friend as a
partner.
Guess you
should've teamed
up with that friend
in your picture.
Would've
saved me a
lot of grief.
But...
I couldn't...
We're...
......
Come on.
We should go.
Wh-wh-what
just happened!?
Awww!
There goes my
erase streak.
He was
supposed to be
number 16.
Reapers?
Bingo!
I'm Koki Kariya...
And this is
Uzuki Yashiro.
There.
Now that we're
all friends-
Hey!
What did you do
with Rhyme?
Um...hello?
You just saw.
She's gone.
Erased.
Noise food.
Game over.
Her soul's
just another speck
of Shibuya space
dust.
No...
Rhyme's gone...
for good?
You...
You did
this!?
Yeah.
But, like,
so what?
That's our
JOB.
Boss said
set a trap,
so we did.
Your job?
Screw
your job!
Murderers!
You...
You erased
Rhyme!!!
Give her back, yo,
or you'll pay!
Ooh,
scary.
Go on, Skulls.
Be the star of
your little soap
opera.
But Skulls, Jr.
isn't gone
because of us.
What?
She's gone
because of
you.
You failed to
protect your
partner.
So face
reality.
We hunt
Players down.
You KNEW
that.
I-I didn't-
Well,
Skulls, Jr.
knew.
That's why
she protected
you.
Gave her life
for you.
Rhyme is
gone...
because
of me?
Awww...
Boo hoo.
But don't
worry. You won't
suffer for long,
hee hee!
Noise!?
You punks
can make
Noise?
Bingo!
All you need is
some Soul and a
pin to bind it to.
We'd looove
to take you on
ourselves,
but attacking
Players directly
is against the
rules.
So we use
Noise instead.
So!
Our work here
is done...
Time to
call it a day.
Buh-bye.
Nice knowing
you.
Oh, yeah.
One last thing,
Skulls.
You want
payback?
Then man up,
huh?
HEY!!!
Get back here,
you son of a...
Dontchu
run from me!
Dontchu
run, yo...
Don't...
Hey, we
gotta get rid of
this Noise.
Yeah.
Otherwise...
Start with
the smaller
Noise!
There.
That leaves
just the big
one.
Right!
Dontchu
touch it, yo.
Huh?
This one's
mine.
This bastard
took Rhyme
from me.
Get in my way
and I'll knock you
right outta here!
Don't be
stupid!
Wh-who's
there?
You're down
a partner.
How you
think you're
gonna take on
the Noise?
Like I care!
Butt out, yo!
I gotta avenge
Rhyme!
You mean waste
her sacrifice!
You're powerless.
Accept it!
Rrgh...
Rhyme left you
a precious gift.
Your life!
Gift?
A Player can
only live for seven
minutes after their
partner is erased.
Which leaves
you with less
than three.
Rrgh...
Think about
why she
saved you.
My life's
over anyway.
You jus'
said so.
There's a
way to keep
you alive.
But you have
to come with me.
Now!
Why should I
live when she
can't, yo?
Beat, go with him.
Rhyme would want
it that way.
But-
We'll handle
this.
She was our
friend, too.
Ahhhhhh...
Listen.
You may be
alone.
But there's
still a role that
only you can
play.
I'll tell you
what that is,
but you have
to live!
Grrraaaaaah!!!
...Fine.
But you
better kill that
bastard dead.
Avenge Rhyme!
Well...
We're alone
again.
Think Beat'll
be OK?
Mr. Hanekoma's
with him.
He's fine.
But...he only
had three minutes
to live.
So what were
we supposed
to do?
I don't know...
Why couldn't
we save Rhyme?
Because we
couldn't.
That's how it was
meant to be.
How can you
just write her off
like that!?
Don't you care?
Aren't you SAD!?
We could
have done
something!
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?
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...
Then who
needs 'em.
Huh?
Who needs
friends!
They just
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
getting in your way?
Dragging you down?
I don't!
And I never
said we were
friends.
You did!
Neku!
I am your friend.
So is Rhyme-
Back off!
No one's my
friend.
Least of
all you.
I just stay
with you to
survive.
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!
Unnh...
Where am I?
Hey.
You awake?
......
The mission's
not here yet.
Looks like
we start at
Tipsy Tose Hall
today.
So, um...
sorry about
yesterday.
I crossed
the line with
what I said.
That I was
no better than
a Reaper...
Rhyme...
......
Well.
Right now...
we need
to focus on
the mission.
Yeah.
You're right.
For Beat.
It's here!
The mission!
"Free Spain Hill
from the Noise.
"You have
200 minutes. Fail,
and face erasure.
-The Reapers"
Free it?
Then we have
to erase some
Noise.
Spain Hill's
right over
there.
Then let's
get going.
So we just
have to clear
the Noise out of
here, right?
Let's get
started.
Hey...Mina?
Where were you
yesterday?
Yesterday?
Ahh...umm...
Ten-Four!
Yeah...
The Prince
was there for a
special event.
You should've
seen how hot he
looked!
Oh...
So you weren't
over by, say...
Shibu Department
Store?
Huh?
No! No...
I don't think so.
Why?
Nothing.
Never mind.
Huff...huff...
This isn't
working...
We're not
even making
a dent.
Why do more
Noise keep
showing up?
You think
something is
drawing them
here?
If so,
we'll have to
strike at the
source.
...Wherever
that is.
C'mon, Ai.
What's wrong?
Nothing...
Neku.
Look!
Those two
girls that just left
the restaurant...
Ai, are you
mad at me?
Don't be
ridiculous.
You...
you sure?
Yes! OK?
Whoa!
Look at all
the Noise!
What's up with
those two?
Looks like
they're having
an argument-
and that's
drawing all
the Noise.
I think we
found our
source.
OK. Let's try
getting rid of the
Noise around
them!
That takes
care of those
Noise.
No... Look!
Here come
some more!
Crap.
This will never
work.
Those two
keep drawing
more in.
What's
their story,
I wonder?
Hey, Ai,
are you free
around this time
next week?
......
Probably.
Why?
N-nothing...
Forget it.
......
Whoa,
feel all that
negativity?
What if that's
attracting
the Noise?
Huh?
Remember
last time?
The Noise
hijacked the
tech
because he
was jealous.
Hey, you're
right...
But these
two don't look
possessed.
They're just...
calling out to
the Noise.
Wait...
Of course!
If we help
them patch
things up-
The Noise will
stop coming!
Brilliant!
Let's try it!
First we
have to figure
out what's
wrong...
YEAH!!!
I can't wait
to play in the
slam-off!
C'mon, Yammer!
You sign up, too!
The grand
prize is a
Hero Pin!?
Dude!
Those are
sooo rare!
Slam-off?
What's that?
Check the
poster.
"Tin Pin Slammer
Super Slam-off!!!
Mighty warriors,
slam forth!"
Ohh. It's for
Tin Pin Slammer.
Seems like
everybody's
playing that
these days.
Tin Pin Slammer,
huh...
Just some
stupid game.
OK!
Enough
self-pity.
I have a job
to do, and I'm
going to do it!
Persistence
pays off!
First, I need to
find a ticket to the
Tin Pin slam-off.
Uhh...first,
you need to do
your job.
I'd better
hunker down
and check the
pavement!
...Classy.
Where is all
this merchandise
coming from?
First
"Reaper Creeper,"
and now these
"Red Skull" pins.
I'm not one to
turn business
away,
but something
about this mystery
supplier...
It smells
risky...
Hmm...
What should
I do?
I know! I'll ask
"Reaper Creeper"!
What's up
with that
guy?
Reaper...
Creeper...
Is he having
a stroke?
Hmm...
It looks like
some kind of
divination.
See how he put
that ten-yen coin
on the paper?
He's going to
make a decision
based on where
it moves.
You mean
where HE
moves it.
It's not
gonna move
on its own.
Unless we
played a little
trick.
Think you
could use your
psychs
to give
the coin a
little push?
Whoa!
It just took off!
Nah...
I must have
imagined it.
Let's try
this again...
Aha!
Then I was right!
Umm...
Maybe we were
a little too
convincing.
Let's
move on...
Say...
Mina...
Hmm?
What's up?
Ever heard of
"Reaper Creeper"?
Reaper
Creeper...
Oh, yeah!
That magic
game people were
talking about at
school, right?
The one that
answers your
questions!
Wanna
try it?
Sure!
Sounds like
fun!
They're going
to use Reaper
Creeper...
Neku.
Should we
fake it?
OK, let's
move the
coin
and rig the
answers.
If we want
them to patch
things up-
Ai needs
to know the
truth.
What!?
But...
that's really
risky.
Ai suspects
Mina.
She thinks
Mina is after
the boy she
likes.
If she finds
out Mina has
been lying,
their friendship
is sunk!
Exactly.
That Mina
girl is lying.
And Ai is gonna
find out eventually,
whether we cover
it up or not.
Better we
clear things
up now.
Well...
I don't know...
Lying isn't
right.
......
Yeah...
We may want
to get our facts
straight first.
Hey, Ai,
you sure this
isn't phony?
Very sure.
I saw it move
yesterday!
OK, then.
Let's give it
another try.
Aww...
You saw us?
Yes!
I know all
about you.
You and
Makoto and
your little-
Here.
What...
Two tickets?
How could
you, Mina...
You knew I
liked Makoto.
I'm sorry.
I just
wanted to
help.
...What?
Makoto wants
to go to the Molco
slam-off.
But he couldn't
get a ticket.
He told me
yesterday.
So I
started mailing
my friends.
I figured,
you know,
maybe if
I scored two
tickets...
Oh, Mina.
You didn't...
You and
Makoto go have
a great time.
You got
them for me?
Yup!
Now you can
put the moves on
him, hee hee.
Mina...
I'm so sorry...
I totally got
the wrong
idea...
No worries.
It's partly
my fault for
fibbing to you.
We're friends.
What's one little
argument?
...Yeah.
Neku!
The Noise are
thinning out.
Good!
Let's finish
the job.
Timer's
gone.
Whew!
Mission complete.
Looks like
Ai and Mina
made up, too.
Hey, let me take
you out to eat.
It's the least I
can do.
Really?
Awesome!
How about
sundaes?
Sure!
Let's hit that
family restaurant
up the street.
OK!
Aww...
See how
nice it is to
have friends?
No.
Sure, you
may butt heads
now and then,
but life is
more fun
that way.
Fun? Right.
Every time you
argue,
you end up
meeting halfway
and getting
nowhere.
What's fun
about letting
other people
hold you back?
I don't see
the point of a
relationship built
on lies.
......
Neku...
You don't
lie to MAKE
friends.
I agree,
that wouldn't
be right.
But sometimes,
you need to
tell a fib because
you ARE friends.
Not all
secrets are
bad secrets.
......
Her and
that photo...
Hey.
Neku?
Yesterday
you said we were
better off without
friends.
You really
think so?
......
Eri used to
do everything
for me.
There was
nothing she
COULDN'T do.
She had a
ton of friends.
Everybody at
school loved her,
because
she was so
outgoing.
And the outfits
she designed were
so cute.
Eri was the one
who got me started
making clothes.
I thought
that pig of yours
was the reason.
He's a CAT!
Ugh. Anyway...
She saw me
making Mr. Mew.
And then she
said:
"Wow, you're
really good with a
needle."
So we got
to talking,
and she let me
help her make
clothes.
I owe her
everything.
She gave
me purpose.
Meeting her,
talking to her,
getting to know
her...
Admiring her...
It made
me want to
be something
more.
......
Rhyme said
she didn't know
what dreams
are like.
And now she
never will...
Neku,
it's not fair.
I know...
I...I'm sad,
too.
We'll just have to
live a little extra.
For her sake.
Yeah.
If we get a
second chance.
Second
chance?
Hello,
young lady.
Who's
there?
A Reaper!
Correct.
But not just
any Reaper.
I am
Yodai Higashizawa...
Game Master
by proxy.
Game Master...
So you're
in charge?
Correct
again.
Then Rhyme
is gone because
of you!
I detest
leftovers.
No Players
were meant to
escape yesterday's
chowder of
destruction.
Do you know
why you alone
survived?
......
Because
you are
strong.
It's a
dog-eat-dog
world.
A logical
hierarchy,
much like the
food chain.
The strong
reach the top
and win the
Game,
while the
weak are
left behind,
the heels of
the proverbial
loaf.
How dare you!
Rhyme
protected Beat!
You call that
weak?
Take it back!
I admire your
courage and loyalty,
young lady.
Delectable.
This calls for
a taste test!
Let us see
how you fare
as fare for the
Noise!
Heh heh...
I see I've sunk
my teeth into
something good.
We'll never
lose to you!
You'll pay
for what you
did to Rhyme!
Sadly, I've had my
fill for the day.
I only
came here
to meet you,
young lady.
Me?
...Why?
To get a
closer look,
of course.
At the charcoal-
black envy beneath
the barbecue of
your heart.
I...I don't
understand.
Oh, don't you,
though?
You can't
fool me.
You know
the feelings are
there, so you
bury them.
Your talk of
loyalty, of dreams
and friendship...
They're no
more than a lid
on your stir-fry
of jealousy.
Oh, how
deeply you must
hate yourself.
You have
EXACTLY what
you always
wanted...
but it's
not enough,
is it?
......
No one
loves you.
You can't
love yourself.
And so the
jealousy consumes
you.
Stop it!
That friendly
sugar coating
can't sweeten
the selfishness
inside you.
You think you're
more important than
anyone else.
And THAT'S
where jealousy
begins...
No...
I'm not-
You are.
And you
know it.
Why else
would your entry
fee be-
Stop!
Don't say it!
Heh heh...
That complex of
yours is a bruise
on the tomato of
your soul.
No, I...
I'm just...
Nothing will
change if you are
restored to life.
You'll just go
on hating yourself
and being jealous of
everybody else.
No. Please,
no more...
Restored
to life?
What the
hell are you
talking about!?
You're dead.
Didn't you
know?
I'm...
I'm dead?
All the
Players are.
The Reapers' Game
is an examination,
to see who
is worthy of a
second chance
at life.
......
Now, if I may
be excused...
See you on
Day 7.
Keep it fresh.
Take care,
young lady.
I'm...
I'm d-d-dead?
How?
When did I...
I'm DEAD!?
Where...?
Back at the
scramble...
What's
this?
A new pin?
Where'd it
come from?
It looks kind
of like the
Player Pin.
......
It doesn't
work for
scanning...
Hmph.
Weird pin.
...Where's
Stalker?
Guess she's
not awake
yet.
Hmm...
Was the
big guy
serious?
Am I really...
dead?
I don't
remember
dying.
But then
again, except
for my name,
I can't recall
anything before
waking up here
on Day 1.
...What did
Mr. Hanekoma
say again?
A special
Shibuya used to
run the Game...
And all the Players
come here for a
common reason.
Death?
So...I'm dead.
Stalker's dead.
And we're
all part of some
contest to come
back to life?
...How did
I die?
What was my
entry fee?
......
Dammit,
I can't remember
any of it.
The
mission!
"Dominate the
scramble crossing
view at 3:00.
"You have 180
minutes. Fail, and
face erasure.
-The Reapers"
Nggh!
Right on
cue...
Hmm...
Strange mission.
I'm standing in
the scramble
now-
but what's
the "view"?
...Dammit.
I don't know
Shibuya well
enough to make
sense of this.
When is
she gonna
wake up?
Hey!
Rise and shine!
The mission's
here.
......
What do you
make of this?
"Dominate
the view"?
...No idea.
Wow. Thanks
for giving it all
that thought.
What's gotten
into her?
Well, wait...
Look again.
Maybe there's
a hidden clue.
The scramble
crossing at three
o'clock?
Is something
scheduled to
happen?
Or do we make
it happen?
Let's start
by figuring out
what this mission
means.
Sigh...
I'm done for.
What's that
guy mumbling
about?
I can feel time
slipping through
my fingers.
Three more
hours...
Then I'm gonna
get the ax.
So long, Makoto.
Heh...
Three more
hours?
It's noon now...
so in three
hours...
it'll be 3:00!
Hey! I think
this guy might
be the key!
......
T-talk,
dammit!
Why is she so
quiet today?
So, um,
yeah...
Let's scan
him. OK?
Catch the eye...
That's it!
Hey!
This must be
our mission!
......
Really?
Think
about it.
The time
matches up-
3:00.
And catching
the eye...
Eye? View?
Same thing.
But what's
"Q Floor"?
......
Neku.
Up there...
The big screen-
that's Q Floor.
The one playing
commercials?
This is all
starting to
make sense!
So dominating
the scramble
crossing view
means getting
the crowd here
to watch that
guy's ad?
It sure seems
that way.
......
That'll never
happen.
People look
straight ahead
when they cross.
Or at their feet.
Then our
mission is to
get them to
look UP.
They have to
see that ad.
What do
you think the
ad's for?
Like I
know.
...Maybe he
can answer
that.
It's all over.
I'm doomed...
Trapped in the
flaming wreckage
of my own life...
Great.
I can't read
his thoughts...
The Noise
have a hold
on him.
You know
what that
means.
......
Chin up, Makoto!
Snap out of it!
True, these pins
show no sign of
becoming the next
big thing.
But it's my job
to MAKE them the
next big thing!
That pin...
It looks just
like this one.
This is what he's
advertising?
So maybe
this is for the
mission?
It's just a
regular old
pin.
No one's
gonna watch
an ad for it.
That's
for sure.
But the
guy's a pro,
right?
I'm sure
he's at least
got a plan.
OK!
First, I'm going
to hand free
pins out
and fill Shibuya
with walking
billboards!
Hmm...and
to get people's
attention,
I need some
"hip" one-liners
like that book
suggested.
Let's see...
How about,
"Totally gnarly!"
"Come get some
hot stuff!"
"Unreal, bro!"
Perfect!
The slang of
the moment!
If I get
everyone talking
about the pins
in time,
they're sure
to watch the
commercial!
Uhh...no?
They're
going to think
you're nuts.
"Come get some
hot stuff"?
That sounds
like a pickup
line...
And pins
aren't exactly
a hot topic to
begin with.
No one's
going to take
them.
We'd better
intervene.
......
Wow, I'm on
fire today!
OK! Time to
hand these out
someplace else!
Looks like
it worked.
You really
think a pin like
this could
take off?
It better.
That's our
mission.
...Yeah.
OK!
This seems like
a good spot.
Here we go
again...
......
Finally!
All done.
Now these
pins are sure
to take off!
I should go see
what people are
saying back by
Q Floor.
So far
so good.
Let's follow
him back to
the scramble.
......
Now, to witness
a phenomenon
in the making!
I bet I'll have
to BEAT back
all the fans.
Let me
walk around
and observe.
Oh,
come on.
Handing out a
few pins isn't
going to ignite
Shibuya.
We better
go after him.
......
Just...
give it up.
Huh?
Even if we
do clear the
mission...
I'll still...
I'll never be...
Hey!
What's gotten
into you?
Man, where
does she think
she's going?
OK!
This seems like
a good spot.
Here we go
again...
......
Hey,
what gives?
......
You've been
acting really
weird today.
It's almost 3.
We need to
get moving,
or we'll fail
the mission.
...So what?
Huh?
There's
no point.
You heard
what that
Reaper said.
Even if I
finish the mission...
win the Game...
Even if I
come back
to life...
I'll still
just be me.
What do
I do...
What kind
of question
is that?
I thought
I'd changed.
But I'll
never change.
I'll just go
on hurting.
Says who?
I was never
pretty...
or smart...
There was
nothing special
about me at all.
I hated
myself.
I wanted
to change,
to be
somebody
else.
To be Eri.
......
But it
didn't work.
I don't-
WHOA!
Over there!
Is that...
you?
Ahh!
The other day,
I found just the
cutest outfit at
Ten-Four!
Seriously?
Hey, why
don't we head
over there?
You've still
got some time,
right, Eri?
Eri?
What the...
Hey!
Wait!
I can't
just leave her
by herself...
So now
you know.
Know what?
What my
entry fee was.
Huh?
My appearance.
I gave up
the way I
really look.
Your
appearance?
Then-
This is
Eri's body.
I don't really
look like this.
Oh.
Wow...
When I got
to the UG
and I saw
myself...
I freaked.
Yeah.
I would, too.
But it was
a happy kind
of freaked.
Happy?
Why?
Because this
is what I always
dreamed of-
a new me.
I hated
who I was.
All I wanted
was to like
myself.
To be cute,
and smart, and
perfect...
like Eri.
......
Then why would
the Reapers take
your appearance?
Your entry
fee is supposed
to be what you
value most.
But you
just said you
hate yourself.
At first...
I didn't get
it either.
I was so
excited to
be Eri
that I even
acted like her-
all bubbly and
cute.
But it was
just an act.
Inside, nothing
changed.
I'm still the
same person
I've always
been.
Then I
realized.
I'll never
be Eri.
Deep down,
I never wanted
to be.
I was just
jealous.
The Reaper
was right.
What I value
most is ME!
......
Eri has all the
things I don't.
Looks, brains,
design sense.
Lots of friends...
I envied
her.
And now
that I'm inside
her body,
it just hurts
even more.
......
All this time...
she's been
as confused
as me.
The truth is,
I'm scared!
I keep trying
to sound brave,
saying we need
to win the Game,
but...
I'm scared of
getting a second
chance!
What if it's
like the Reaper
said?
I don't want
to come back to
life if it means
being jealous of
Eri all the time.
......
I don't want
to be that
person.
Well...
I like you
the way you
are.
Huh?
Noooooo!
What the-
No one's
wearing the
pins!
Why not!?
Looks like
we can't relax
yet.
Listen.
We're going
to finish this
mission.
So promise
you'll focus on
that for now.
OK?
......
All right.
Why isn't
anybody talking
about the pins?
I worked
so hard...
Hey,
Mick.
Huh?
Oh! Mr. Oji.
Prince...
I saw you
standing here.
Why so glum?
It's work.
I'm going to
lose my job.
I was supposed
to make these
pins a sensation.
I gave away
a whole bunch
for free.
But they just
won't take off.
Aw, Mick,
you can't be
serious.
What?
All right,
listen.
You've done
good business
for me,
so I'll give
it to you
straight.
Your pins
won't take off,
because you're
ignoring the
trends.
Handing out
samples doesn't
make something
popular.
Hmm.
True...
So then how
do I change
the trends?
Lots of ways.
I mean,
if you were a
Prince like me,
just walking
the streets
could start a
revolution.
If people saw
you wearing the
pin... Right...
OK.
I've gotta run.
Press date.
Take care,
Mick.
You can
do it.
Thanks!
I'll try!
Hmm...
Trends, eh?
OK!
If the Prince
can do it,
so can I!
Time to put this
pin on and start
a revolution!
This guy is
certifiable...
...But think
about it.
Neku,
if you put the
pin on
and we fought
some battles,
we might be
able to change
the trends.
How do you
figure?
Rhyme and I
got to talking.
We noticed
wearing pins
in combat
makes those
brands more
popular.
Even though
the RG people
can't see us?
Yeah.
Weird, huh?
All right...
Let's give
it a try.
Hey!
Isn't that pin
the coolest?
Huh?
Where?
There.
The one that
guy's got on.
Oh yeah!
Very nice.
Wonder
where they
sell 'em.
Whoa...
People keep
looking at me
and smiling.
Am I...
I couldn't be...
trendy!?
Wow.
The Prince
was right!
It worked.
So the
pins we wear
in combat
do change
what's popular
in the RG.
Uh-huh.
But that
guy seems to
have his own
theory.
Get ready,
104!
Your
trend-god
cometh!
......
He's kind
of a tool,
huh?
OK!
Time to look
trendy!
Yeah, with
a little help.
Hey,
check out
that hot pin!
Yeah.
The one on
that guy?
People were
wearing it back
at the scramble
crossing.
Seriously?
It's gonna
be huge, just
wait and see.
Wish I
had one...
Whoa...
I get it.
I really get it!
The trends
are mine to
command!
Now that
the word is
out,
I just need
to wait for the
ad to run.
Back to
the crossing!
Well,
we did it.
Did we?
Hey, we
gave it our
best shot.
Let's just
cross our
fingers.
......
Neku...
Umm...
I'm sorry.
If we fail,
and it turns
out to be my
fault for slowing
us down...
......
No big deal.
We all,
umm...
Hmm?
We all
have our
bad days.
Thanks.
Hey,
it's her.
Ahh!
So, Eri.
How come you
haven't designed
anything lately?
......
Actually...
I'm thinking about
giving it up.
What! Why?
You're so
talented!
She's giving
it up?
Eri, why...
......
If you
want to know,
scan her.
What?
I can't
do that!
She's my
friend.
I can't
eavesdrop on
her thoughts!
Why not?
You've
scanned tons
of people.
......
Eri, why
would you give
design up?
......
Well, there
was this girl,
Shiki-
Neku...
I have
to go!
Hey!
Just...wait!
I can't
just leave her
by herself...
She went to
the crossing.
I'm...
I'm sorry.
I didn't want
to hear Eri
talk about me.
I was
afraid.
......
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-
Oh, would
you cut the
crap?
Who ARE
you?
Huh?
You're
you.
You're not
Eri.
You'll never
be Eri.
You'll only
ever be you.
But she's so
much better-
Forget her!
You need
to live your
own life.
If she can
do it, so can
you.
All that
matters is that
you try.
......
Neku-
You're lucky
you're jealous.
It gives you
something to
shoot for.
So...
shoot.
......
You're right.
Thanks,
Neku.
It's time.
The commercial's
about to air.
Sooo
nervous...
Will people
watch?
Neku...
Don't worry.
They'll
watch.
Hey!
Up there!
That pin.
Who designed it?
It looks like-
Hey,
cool graphic.
I never wear pins.
But this one...
Where can
I buy it?
Hey, man,
look what
I got.
You HAVE one?
Aw, lucky...
Oh, I know
that pin!
Ha ha.
You would,
Eri.
Wish I
had one...
Eri...
......
Neku,
can I have
a minute?
I want to
go stand by
her.
Hey,
you're off
the clock.
...Thanks!
Eri, you
shouldn't give
up design.
I told you.
This girl,
Shiki-
I'm nothing
without her.
Huh?
Yeah, you
said that.
What, did
you two have
a fight?
A fight?
I wish.
Shiki died.
In an accident
the other day.
Oh...
I'm so sorry.
No one else
could ever make
my outfits.
Shiki gave
them life.
Made them
real.
You must
have trusted
her a lot.
I did!
She was an
amazing
person.
She cared
about people-
and always noticed
the little things.
If I missed
something in my
design, Shiki always
picked up the slack.
And her
stuffed animals!
I wouldn't know
where to begin.
She had a
sharp eye,
skilled hands.
Motivation.
All the things
I don't have.
The way you
talk about her,
she must
have been
something.
......
The day
before her
accident...
I said
something I'll
always regret.
What?
She was upset
'cause she couldn't
come up with a
good design.
I wanted
to cheer her
up...
so I told her,
"You're not
meant to be a
designer."
I mean, she
had such a great
future as a
seamstress.
But I think
I really hurt
her feelings.
I planned to
apologize the
next day...
but I
never saw
her again.
......
She's still my
best friend.
Even now.
I want her
back,
so I can
tell her I'm
sorry...
and so we
can be a team
again.
......
I had no idea.
I never knew
she felt that
way about me.
Guess you
two both need
each other.
Neku...
You think
I'm OK the
way I am?
Hey, Shibuya's
got room for
all types.
Who else
is gonna make
stuffed piggies?
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!
All right.
Then whatever
it takes...
Let's win...
Let's live.
Just one more
day!
We're on
schedule.
Yes, sir!
Three Players
remain.
Tomorrow
I shall ice them
personally.
I look forward
to it.
See this
week's Game
through to its
conclusion,
and your
promotion to
Game Master
is assured.
As your
proxy, sir,
I promise you
I will not fail.
You know,
enough with this
"proxy" business.
Too formal.
I hereby grant
you full GM privileges.
You've proven you
can handle it.
Sir!
You are far
too kind!
I will check
in again after
tomorrow's
repast.
Why?
Why can't
I use you?
Yo, there's
gotta be a
way.
......
THEY
know.
They gotta
know!
Yo, I am done
sittin' here
collectin' dust!
Well, time
to get
cracking.
I just hope
they can
pull it off.
......
Back to
the café,
I guess.
Beat must
be starving
by now.
This is it...
Day 7.
Yup.
Today we
win this.
There it is!
The last
mission.
"The Game
Master awaits you
on the freeway.
Defeat him.
"You have 600
minutes. Fail, and
face erasure.
-The Reapers"
Oww!
The Game Master
is that big Reaper,
right?
We need to
pay him back
for Rhyme.
Yeah...
C'mon.
We've got a
Game to win.
For Beat...
and for us!
Who could
be calling us
now?
Think it's the
Reapers?
Hello?
Dead kid
speaking.
Phones!
That you?
Mr. Hanekoma?
Listen!
Beat, he...
he's gone!
Gone!?
You don't
mean...
No, no...
Not erased.
...Not yet.
What's that
supposed to
mean?
Look, he
musta left the
caféwhile I
was out.
He left?
Why!?
I dunno why.
Look, enough
questions.
You gotta
hurry!
That kid ain't
got a partner
to fight with.
He's Reaper-chow
the second they
spot him.
'Sides...
Today's Day 7.
The GM can
attack Players
directly now!
And he will.
Believe me.
Son of a-
Hey, hey,
have a little
faith.
You're almost
there! Just put an
end to the Game!
You do that and
Skater-Brain might
just survive this.
Right,
got it.
Neku, what's
going on?
Is Beat in
trouble?
Yeah...
But we can
still save him if
we end the
Game in time.
Then let's
move it!
That
meathead!
Has he lost
his mind!?
Why couldn't
he just stay with
Mr. Hanekoma?
Neku!
Let's get over to
the freeway!
It's not far
from the station
underpass!
Crap!
Wall's up!
Quick!
There's the
Reaper!
Clear!
Go, go, go!
Six days and
you're still kickin'.
I'm impressed.
A Reaper...
Hey, clear
the road!
We're in
a hurry!
Oh, I'll clear
the road-
of YOU,
that is.
Hey hey...
Don't run off.
Where's the
love, guys?
A Reaper...
Move!
We're in a
hurry!
Six days and
you're still kickin'.
I'm impressed.
I said
MOVE!
Aww, sorry.
No dice.
It's a race
to erase, and I
aim to place.
So long...
Dammit...
That cost
us time.
I hope
Beat's OK.
Worrying won't
save him.
C'mon.
We're still
in this.
Right!
Let's shut
their Game
down!
Bleh.
Day 7 is
such a yawn.
Not enough
Players left,
you know?
See?
This is why I
pace myself.
Work too hard
and you run out
of work.
Yeah...
We did rack up
a ton of points
this week.
And on the
seventh day...
we rest.
The first of
many days off,
I hope.
Yo...
Who's there?
...You!?
We toasted
your partner-
you should
be smoke by
now!
Make another
pact?
......
So, like,
what?
You thirsty
for revenge?
No!
...Huh?
Then what do
you want?
Answers.
Tell me
what I need
to know!
You do
realize...
you're in no
position to make
demands?
......
I could erase
you with my
little finger.
......
Aight,
Skulls...
You ask.
Maybe we'll
answer.
Hey...
Kariya!!!
What does
it take?
How do you
Reapers do it!?
Game Master's
just ahead...
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.
......
The best is
still ahead.
Once we
win, and come
back to life.
Yeah!
Neku...
Thanks for these
last seven days.
You're pretty
good at this
partner thing.
Pfft...
Save it for when
we win, OK?
...Ready for
the big boss?
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!
I'll...think
it over.
Heh heh.
OK.
Let's finish
this!
You're late.
A shame I had
to set the table
before cooking
the main dish.
We're not on
the menu.
You are!
Ah, hello there,
young lady.
I've been
waiting for
this day.
......
What's
this?
The jealousy in
your heart-
my secret
spice!
It's...
gone.
Lost your
appetite?
But...you
were green
with envy!
Begrudging to
a light golden
brown!
So deliciously
jealous...
That's right.
I was jealous.
That's how
lucky I am!
It takes an
amazing friend
to make you
jealous.
So you can
just get ready
to lose!
You tell him!
I swear I'm
getting my life
back!
Eri's waiting
in the RG,
and you...
are NOT
gonna get in
my way!
You've gone
stale, young
lady.
But no
matter.
A true chef
can whip up a
toothsome
meal
even from
the basest of
ingredients!
Mr. Kitaniji
has given me
a recipe...
and I intend
to cook it.
Now...
prepare to
be spicy tuna
rolled!!!
......
In...indigestible!
I lost?
Well done...
young lady...
Game over.
That's it?
We did it!
We won!
Woo-hoo!
Now we'll come
back to life!
Wh-what's
going on?
Shiki?
Huh?
I don't think
this light is bad.
Yeah...
Feels almost
like a...pat on
the back.
A warm
welcome back
to the world
of the living!
And you
said "Shiki"!
Neku...
That's the
first time you
used my name.
Oh, really?
Neku?
See you on
the other side.
You know
the meeting
place.
Hachiko!
Heh.
It's a date.
Why...
Why,
why, why...
WHYYYYYY!
......
Huh?
What's this box?
......
Oh, snap!
Reach 104.
You have 60 minutes.
Fail, and face erasure.
-The Reapers
Fail, and face erasure.

......
Where have I
seen this guy
before...
Neku!
Hachiko is
this way!
......
Come ON!
Ugh...
Go yourself.
...C'mon.
...You can
tell me.
...Something
on your mind?
That guy...
Who is he
talking to?
...Tell me
what's ailing you.
...We're not all
made of stone.
......
Neku.
Give the man
some space...
Noise!?
That must
be the curse .
Maybe if we
erase all that
Noise,
we can
lift it .
...Oh.
...You're all
better now!
...I'm so
glad.
He can tell!?
In a way,
that's pretty
impressive.
...Hey.
...Hachiko seems
down lately.
...Don't you
think?
Hachiko is
feeling down?
Does that
mean it's cursed,
too?
...Hey.
...Hachiko seems
down lately.
...Don't you
think?
What is it
with this guy
and statues?
...He must be
like you.
...Drifting in a
sea of woes...
...If only I could
polish all his pain
away...
...Then he'd
feel better.
...His heart
would shine
again!
Polish away
Hachiko's pain?
That's...
idiotic.
I'll be
here waiting.
Thanks
again!
Talk about
your sketchy
stores...
Hey, kids?
Um...
Look
around if you
want, but...
I ain't
sellin'.
Huh?
The stuff
in the case?
It's special
to me.
So, like,
if you want
it? Tough.
I ain't
sellin.
......
Then take
it out of the
damn case.
Neku.
Let's just
browse, OK?
That fuse?
Sorry,
ain't sellin'.
That baby's
custom-made.
So, like...
fanatics
totally dig it.
If you had a
good reason,
I might consider
parting with it.
But look
at you.
You totally
don't.
The cough
drops?
Sorry,
ain't sellin'.
You can't
buy those in just
any store.
They're, like...
totally rare,
you dig?
How dare
you ask me to
sell you one?
It's your
first visit.
Punks.
Hey, like...
if you had a
good reason,
I might consider
parting with it.
But look
at you.
You totally
don't.
The dandy
hat?
Sorry,
ain't sellin'.
I mean,
look at you.
Aren't you like,
Generation...
What are they
up to, Z?
You are so
not baby-boom
enough
to dig a
treasure like
this.
"Love in a
Heartbeat"?
Sorry,
ain't sellin'.
And for
the record:
it's just
a name.
Wearing this
skirt will not
actually help you
fall in love.
So, like...
get that
outta your
heads.
I wish
folks would
stop asking.
You young
people, heh.
But it looks
like you two
lovebirds are
all set.
What?
You're not
together?
You young
people, heh.
You heard
the man.
I ain't
sellin'.
Let's go.
I ain't
sellin.'
Easy, Neku.
Let's just
browse a bit.
Hey, kids?
Um...
We're totally
closed, so, like...
Could you
leave?
I ain't
sellin'.
......
Let's go.
Ugh, man.
I've been
shouting all
day long...
...A fuse ?
Is that what
the tech's
after?
Sigh...
Another day
with no sales...
I know
my ramen
looks plain,
but isn't
the taste
what counts?
Neku!
Your phone!
A meme?
Neku!
Your phone!
A meme?
Objective
met.
Ahh...
What should
I do?
Considering the
circumstances...
But...no...
that won't do.
Ahh...
No matter
what I do,
it never seems
to work out.
What should
I do?
What,
I say?
Hmm...
It's no use.
I can't
make my
mind up.
...Hmm!
Bah.
It's no use.
Why pretend
I have the
answer?
I don't.
Sigh...
I wish an
idea would just
pop into my
head.
...Blackout?
A blackout...
That's
right!
First...
I need to, uh...
power down.
I think.
Yeah.
First...
I gotta...
power down...
and then, uh...
What next?
Aww, hell.
Is that guy
gonna be OK?
Well, we
know how it
works now.
We'll work
on finesse
next time.
Is this really
gonna help?
...Fuse?
A fuse...
That's
right!
First...
I need to, uh...
blow my fuse...
I think.
Yeah.
First...
I gotta...
blow my fuse...
and then, uh...
What next?
Aww, hell.
Is that guy
gonna be OK?
Well, we
know how it
works now.
We'll work
on finesse
next time.
Is this really
gonna help?
...Ramen?
Mmm, noodles...
That's
right!
First...
I need to, uh...
eat some ramen.
I think.
Yeah.
First...
I gotta...
eat ramen...
and then, uh...
What next?
Aww, hell.
Is that guy
gonna be OK?
Well, we
know how it
works now.
We'll work
on finesse
next time.
Is this really
gonna help?
...Cough drops?
Cough drops...
That's
right!
First...
I need to, uh...
suck on a
cough drop.
I think.
Yeah.
First...
I gotta...
have the
cough drop...
and then, uh...
What next?
Aww, hell.
Is that guy
gonna be OK?
Well, we
know how it
works now.
We'll work
on finesse
next time.
Is this really
gonna help?
Man...
This sucks.
What was that
part I need a
replacement for?
I can't go
back and ask
now...
Arrgh...
I can't
remember.
The guy
would know,
But I can't
wander back
now...
What
WAS it?
Sigh...
I am so gonna
get yelled at.
...Blackout?
Oh yeah!
I gotta fix
the lighting.
And to
do that...
I need
something ...
And I was
heading to
Dogenzaka to
pick it up.
Hmm...
Something ...
WHAT
something?
Sigh...
The guy
would know.
Maybe I
should head
back.
But...
777 stands
between me
and him.
If I go back
without the part,
I'm dead.
Dammit.
I wish
someone could
ask for me.
The guy ?
Was there
somebody by
the stage?
...Fuse?
The fuse !
I have to
fix the lights.
And I need
a new fuse
to do it!
Whew,
what a relief.
......
Crap!
I gotta
book it!
...Ramen?
Actually...
I am kinda
hungry.
Yeah...
I stopped in
for lunch
and left
before I could
eat!
I won't make
that mistake
again.
Time to get
my noodle on!
...Cough drops?
Cough drops!
Yeah!
777's always
yelling.
And I do
want the concert
to go well...
OK!
It's a plan!
Thank
you!
You saved
my life!
I'll never
forget this!
Whew!
He finally bought
what he needs.
Now maybe
we can get
some light.
We should
head back, too.
Neku!
There he is!
He's not
buying the part!
He's...he's...
eating?
There
y'are!
The Ramen
Don special!
Wait...
Eat up
before it
gets cold!
Wait just
a sec...
Oh, crap!
I'm supposed
to be picking up
that part!
Wait!
Sir, your
noodles!
Sigh...
I can't win.
Young people
just won't eat
old-fashioned
noodles...
Neku!
After him!
...OK, cough
drops: check.
But...I get
the feeling I'm
forgetting
something...
Neku, try
another meme.
Like some
kind of part
for repairs?
It's no good.
I keep
thinking...
and I keep
drawing a
blank.
Until I left
this morning,
I was
setting up
the stage,
right?
Mics were set.
Speakers, too...
Everything
was going
great-
except when
I checked the
lights,
I heard a big
GZZZZZZT.
Then the whole
place went dark.
I called a
repairman,
and he
said I needed
to buy
something.
Something ...
I know I'm
supposed to pick
something up.
What
WAS it?
I can't
remember.
Hmm...
I could go
ask the guy by
the stage...
But I'd have
to face 777's
triple threat
on the way...
...Blackout?
Yeah!
I need to
fix the lighting.
The guy told
me to pick up
that replacement
part...
......
Wait-
I think I
remember!
...No, no.
It's gone.
...Fuse?
The fuse !
I have to
fix the lights.
And I need
a new fuse
to do it!
Whew,
what a relief.
......
Crap!
I gotta
book it!
...Ramen?
No, no, no.
Definitely
not.
Why do I
keep thinking
about ramen?
Weird.
Hey, maybe...
Maybe I
really like that
place's food!
...No, no, no.
Definitely
not.
...Cough drops?
I bought the
cough drops.
All set
with those.
Which leaves...
What?
What did I come
here to buy?
Arrrgh.
Hey!!!
Neku!
I said I
want to go to
Ten-Four!
Mina...
You really didn't
go to Shibu
yesterday?
I...I didn't.
I swear!
Quit asking, Ai.
Sure,
whatever.
She is
so lying.
I saw her
with him.
I'll never
forgive her...
If only I could
prove it!
I'm serious!
Ai, please...
Uh-huh.
I believe you.
Arrgh.
No you don't.
Come on...
Shoot!
She's so
onto me!
Now what?
Do I just
tell her?
It's OK.
I know.
What!?
...How you
feel.
...Reaper Creeper?
Of course!
Why didn't I think
of that sooner!
...Tin Pin Slammer?
Ticket?
Why would I
think of-
Wait.
Didn't Makoto
want to go?
Like it matters.
He'd never
take me.
He'd take
Mina.
...Reaper Creeper?
That magic game
people use to
get answers?
...Why'd that
pop into my
head?
...The tickets.
Hmm...
Maybe I really
should tell her.
But I've
been working so
hard to keep it
a secret.
I want Ai to
be surprised.
Um...
excuse me.
Hmm?
I, umm...
you, uhh...
Sota?
Like, this guy.
He's, like, talking
to me?
Wha-
'Scuse me?
Uh-oh...
Whadda you
want, dawg?
Got somethin'
to say to my
Nao?
Like, he said
he thinks I'm
cute...
Right?
Wr-wrong!
I don't think
that at all!
What?
You don't?
'Scuse me?
Ahhh!
No no no no,
she's cute!
But not...
you know...
ahhh!
Huh?
Oh, no!
What's my line?
I totally
forgot...
Totally...
Totally...
The...the book!
In my book it
said-
Stop
mumbling,
loser!
Eep!
I...I was
just...
Nothing!
Never mind!
Ooh, we're
off to a great
start.
I should use
imprinting and
help him out.
Totally gnarly!
'Scuse me?
I mean...
umm...
My...my
grandpa!
It's my grandpa.
He's...he's all
gnarly!
Gnarly?
F-from his
arthritis!
The poor man
beats himself up
because no one
wears these pins.
When I see
his gnarly hands
tremble with
guilt, I...
I just...
Ohh,
Grandpa!
......
So, um...
Would you do
me a favor,
and wear
one of these
pins for him?
...Hells
yeah.
Whoa!
Really?
What's your
name?
It's...
Makoto Miki.
Friends call
me Mick.
Mick...
You're a good
man.
Yeah!
Like, that was
totally moving?
Handing out pins
for your grandpa
in the scramble...
That's aces,
dawg.
Like, I think
I'm in love?
We'll wear
your pins.
It'd be an
honor.
Th-thanks!
Hang in
there, Mick.
We'll be rootin'
for you.
Hope your
granddaddy, like,
cheers up?
Who?
Oh!
M-me too...
Come get some
hot stuff!
What?
You know.
Hot? Stuff?
'Scuse me?
The...the book!
In my book it
said-
Stop mumbling,
loser!
Eep!
I...I was
just...
Nothing!
Never mind!
Bzzt,
wrong answer.
Maybe a
different meme
will work.
Unreal, bro!
Huh?
Un...unreal?
'Scuse me?
The...the book!
In my book it
said-
Stop mumbling,
loser!
Eep!
I...I was
just...
Nothing!
Never mind!
Bzzt,
wrong answer.
Maybe a
different meme
will work.
Pardon me.
Hello?
Excuse me!
......
Can't he
hear me?
What now?
Think,
Mick!
You're
so close.
Which phrase
haven't you
used yet?
What was it...
Hot...
Hot...
Ahem...
Who dropped
all this MONEY?
......
Darn.
There goes
Plan B.
Totally
gnarly!
Gnarly!
Totally!
Umm...
Gnartotally?
......
Darn.
Nothing.
Come get some
hot stuff!
No good?
Hot stuff!
Come get some!
Huh?
I think I
got a reaction
that time.
One more
time!
Unreal, bro!
Unreal!
Bro! Yo!
......
Darn.
Nothing.
Feel it,
Makoto!
You're
so close!
You saw him react!
Now, reel him in!
Hot...
Hot...
Come get some
hot stuff!
Oh!
Hot stuff!
Ooh!
Hot!
Yeah,
hot stuff!
Come get
some!
...I'll take
one.
Oh.
Thank you!
Ooh!
That kid's
sure to take
one.
Hey, there,
slugger.
WHOAAA!
Huh?
Lemme guess,
bro.
You want me to
make you one of
my Slammurai...
Right?
Uh...
I didn't-
Don't be shy!
It's cool!
SLAM ON!!!
No, I'm not
here to-
What's your
favorite
whammy?
Buh-
What are
you ranked?
I...I...
I don't know!
Who...who is
this kid!?
I can't get a
word in!
What should
I say?
Un...
Un...
What's your
name, bro?
Me?
I'm Makoto.
Burnt
Sienna!
Huh?
I dub thee the
Burnt Sienna
Slammurai!
Huh?
Umm...
I'm Red!
...Sure.
Wow. That kid
steamrolled him.
I better
step in.
Totally
gnarly!
WHOAAA!!!
Huh?
Bro!
Where's your
Solid Slammer?
T-totally
gnarly!
What?
What happened
to it?
It's totally
gnarly!
Bro, no!
You can't let your
Solid Slammer get
bent outta shape!
It's part of
your body!
Your SOUL!
If you want
to join my
Slammurai,
first you
gotta get your
gear fixed.
Um...right.
Come get some
hot stuff!
WHOAAA!!!
Huh?
Bro, did you
watch Slammurai
this week?
H-hot stuff.
REALLY!?
Did they
show any
new pins!
Hot stuff!
Whoa!
BRO!!!
Um, yeah?
If you loan
me a Slammurai
DVD,
I'll let you
join my forces
of slam.
Um...sure.
Unreal, bro!
WHOAAA!!!
Huh?
What's that
pin?
Oh, this?
Yeah!
Tell me where
you got it!
Well-
What's its
Attack?
Uhh...
unreal, bro?
Seriously?
How about
its Defense?
Unreal, bro!
Whoa!
BRO!!!
You and me
gotta battle.
I want
that pin!
Huh?
Ready?
Slaaam...
ON!
Woo...
hoooooo!
I won,
bro!
Better
practice up.
Rely on
pins alone...
and you'll
never be a true
Slammurai!
I'll be taking
that pin. YOINK!
Huh? But...
OK...
It worked!
Hey, Neku!
......
We have to
get over to 104 .
There's no time!
......
Hey-
wait up!!!
Neku...
This pin...
Why do I
have it?
Touch the pin in the
lower right corner of the
bottom screen.
When you're done,
touch it again to return
to the field.
Something
about that guy
in red...
I'm gonna
scan him and
see what his
deal is.
We need to
defeat some Noise
to proceed.
I can see 'em
with a scan ,
right?
Hey, why
don't you try
those new
pins out?
If anybody
can use them,
it's you!
So we need to
lift the statue's
curse .
Which means
that Moai-
Mo-YAI.
Whatever.
Let's check
it out.
Neku!
I know,
I'll take care
of it.
The Noise
buzzing around
the Moyai,
right?
Hey, I bet
Hachiko's
possessed by
Noise, too.
Scan the
statue!
But doesn't
that seem too...
easy?
So, Hachiko's
curse...
Why don't we
start scanning
around?
Somebody
else may know
what to do.
Yes!
Now we can
free Hachiko from
the curse.
Let's hurry
over to Hachiko!
...Do you
ever shut up?
So Neku,
have you got
the hang of
wearing pins?
You can't
fight the Noise
unless you have
some on.
......
Use the Phone Menu to
wear pins.
Touch the phone icon in
the upper-right corner of
the bottom screen to
open it.
From there, touch "Pins"
to open the Pins Menu .
Then choose pins for
Neku to wear into battle !
Hmm...
Something
about him seems
different.
Let's get
a closer
look.
The "cursed
sculpture" must
be Hachiko.
It's the most
famous statue
here!
......
C'mon,
Neku.
Let's head
over to
Hachiko!
Neku...
Why don't we
examine Hachiko
first?
It might
yield some
clues.
First things
first.
The exit.
We won't
get anywhere
without light.
Let's do
some recon.
I bet somebody
around here can
point us in the
right direction.
A black tee
and lanyard...
I don't see
anyone like that
around here.
Let's check
elsewhere.
Noise symbols
are those things
we see when we
scan, right?
And we need
to erase the kind
in his picture.
OK...
Let's get
cracking.
I don't see
anyone with a
black tee and
lanyard.
He mig
tbe indoors.
Let's take
out the Noise
possessing
the tech!
Now we can
get some light.
Back to
A-East!
Think the
tech's got it
handled?
He went
north when he
took off...
Maybe we
should check
up on him.
...So.
Want to try
imprinting on
that guy?
Yeah.
We need to
find out what
it does!
You can imprint memes
directly into people's
minds during imprinting
sequences .
When the Player Pin
appears over a person's
heart, that's your chance!
Touch the pin.
A scanning field will open
and you will start reading
the person's thoughts.
Touch the Player Pin
again when it glows red to
select a meme.
What does it do?
You'll have to victimiz-
er, experiment on that
guy to find out!
Neku!
That's the guy!
Still goofing
off, I see.
Actually...
he looks
like he's in
a bind.
Neku! Let's try
imprinting on the
tech!
It might jog
his memory!
Who's this
guy the tech
mentioned?
Was there
someone fumbling
around inside
A-East?
If so, let's
hope he has a
better memory than
the tech.
How are
we gonna find
anybody in
the dark?
We don't
need light to
scan.
Hey...
Good point!
What are
we waiting
for?
I can't see
anything in
the dark...
Well,
Mr. Mystery's
gotta be in here
somewhere.
Right.
Start scanning!
Great!
That has to
be the part
he needs.
What do you
say we give him
a little hint?
About time
he got off his
ass.
It looked like
he was headed
for Dogenzaka.
He went
inside the
shop.
Let's follow
him!
Maybe, finally,
we'll get some
light!
C'mon, back
to A-East!
Dammit,
what is he
DOING?
We need
him to restore
the power.
Maybe
something
happened.
Let's check
on him.
Now we can
face A-East's
master!
But, um...
who or what
is it?
Once we
face it, we'll
know.
Just don't
let your guard
down.
I...I won't!
Huh?
The power's
still out.
......
Why don't
we check with
the guy by the
entrance?
Look, see?
Beat and Rhyme
are right over
there.
Heeey!
Ugh...
Huh?
Still no power...
What's busted
now?
If the
repairman's still
in the back,
he would
know.
Hmm...
I think we
need to try
a different
meme.
Who's this
guy the tech
mentioned?
Was there
someone fumbling
around inside
A-East?
If so, let's
hope he has a
better memory than
the tech.
How are
we gonna find
anybody in
the dark?
We don't
need light to
scan.
Hey...
Good point!
What are
we waiting
for?
We really
need to restore
the power...
It's not
getting any
brighter in
here.
Neku...
The tech
was down on
Dogenzaka.
We need to
bring him back
to 777.
Yeah,
I know.
OK!
I think we
took out the
right Noise.
Me too.
Let's hurry
up and open
the wall!
Oh!
777 and the
tech are over
by the entrance
talking.
Wanna see
what's up?
Neku, the
tech was over
by Shibukyu's
main store.
We should
try imprinting
on him.
It might jog
his memory!
I wonder
what Beat's
great idea is.
Don't get
your hopes
up.
The real
mystery is today's
mission...
So...
Why do they call it
"Ten-Four"?
You mean
104?
Isn't it
obvious?
Break it
into two
numbers,
and you've
got 10-4.
...Who
thought that
was a good
idea?
We need
those pins.
Yeah.
But there's no
guarantee Noise
will drop them.
Feeling lucky?
We could try
leveling down .
Leveling...
what?
Here-
I found this
feature on my
phone.
The same enemy may
drop different pins in
battle depending on your
difficulty setting.
Check the Noise Report !
Still feel like you aren't
getting those pin drops?
Try living dangerously with
the level change system !
Open your phone and
adjust the yellow level
gauge (LVG) on the
bottom screen to set
your level lower .
The lower you go, the
fewer HP you'll have, but
the rate at which enemies
drop pins will skyrocket !
Don't worry; changing
your level isn't permanent .
Just drag the slider on
the gauge all the way to
the right to return to
your maximum level.
Once you've gotten the
hang of combat, play with
the level gauge until you
find the right balance of
challenge and comfort.
He wants a
lot of pins...
Let's try doing
some mass Noise
reduction.
Um, how does
that work?
Looking to score pins and
a ton of PP? Try taking
on a group of enemies at
once in a chain battle .
Touch more than one
Noise Symbol before the
battle starts, then get
ready to reduce some
Noise!
With each round, or
"reduction," the Noise get
tougher -but they also
drop more pins !
Want lots of pins?
Try taking on a group of
enemies at once in a chain
battle .
OK!
OK!
We got the
right pins.
Let's have
him open the
wall.
Whew...
Whew...
That should be
enough pins.
Now he'll
open the wall
for us.
Let's hurry to
Towa Records.
Beat and
Rhyme are
waiting.
Neku...
Beat and Rhyme
are waiting.
Let's head
over to Towa
Records.
Why?
He wanted to race.
Let him wait.
Umm...
Don't you
think that's a
little unfair to
Rhyme?

The way
to Spain Hill
is blocked.
Then let's give
the guy what he
wants.
OK!
The biggest
Noise symbols,
huh?
So many
Noise.
If that's our
mission...
I know,
I know. Let's
start picking
them off!
We need
to take out the
Noise possessing
those two.
Right!
They've
gotta be the
source of all
this.
So...
How do we
help them patch
things up?
Sounds like a
job for imprinting,
if you ask me.
Good idea!
Let's start
by hunting down
some memes .
So, the
Noise feed on
negativity...
Neku!
Let's finish
the last of the
Noise.
Right!
OK...
We did
what he
wanted.
Let's have him
clear the way to
Spain Hill.

make sense of
this mission.
......
......
Um, right.
I'll let you know
how that
goes...
Something
about that
guy...
How 'bout we
scan him?
That guy by
the scramble
crossing-
he knows
something.
So, how do
we get people
to pay attention
to that ad?
......
And how do
I get you to
pay attention
at all?
Ugh...
First things first:
the Noise bugging
that guy!
The guy's a
train wreck
waiting to
happen.
...I can't
look away.
What a
handful, huh?
He headed
down Center
Street...
Then we
should follow.
The guy's
a PR time
bomb.
I think he
could use a
little help.
......
And he
does this for
a living?
C'mon.
I saw him run
up past Center
Street.
...It doesn't
matter anymore.
Nothing does.
......
What's
gotten into
her?
That Reaper
yesterday must
have touched a
nerve.
I guess...
I better see
if she's OK.
Two
Stalkers?
......
I better go
see what's
wrong...
You'd think he'd
realize giving away
a few freebies
isn't going to rock
Shibuya.
Seriously.
But we
can't give
up now.
...Uh-huh.
Let's see
what he does
next.
So wearing
the red pin into
combat will make
it popular?
Uh-huh.
But it may
take a few
battles.
All right.
Here goes...
You can influence the
local brand chart by
wearing threads and pins
from your favorite brand
into battle.
Changing the rankings
will affect the area and
the people in it .
Bend the trends to your
will and create a Shibuya
that's yours alone !
Next stop:
104!
We need to
reshape the
trends here,
too.
Let's do some
fighting, then.
Three
Rare Metals .
......
Wait-
the Noise
Report!
Quick, check
your phone.
Got the pins
we need...
Now to clear
the wall and
find our guy.
That guy...
He's gone.
Where'd he
run off to?
That guy by
the scramble
is asking for
trouble...
We should
check up on
him.
...Uh-huh.
We have to
make that red
pin popular.
Uh-huh.
Let's start in
the scramble.
That guy by
the scramble
crossing-
he's the key to
today's mission.
If we don't
intervene...
Let's book
it to the
freeway.
OK.
It's past
Hachiko!
Three rounds,
huh?
Ready to
chain some
battles?
Whenever
you are!
There!
There!
That makes
three.
Let's clear the
wall and head for
the freeway!
The freeway's
just ahead.
Through the
underpass!

3 + 5 = 8. And dashes-I need dashes!

Whew...
We got
away.
That was
pretty close,
huh?
If things
look grim,
we should
run.
Hey, um...
Aren't we,
you know...
running a
LOT lately?
I mean,
running beats
losing,
but if we
keep doing it
we'll never
get strong enough
to face tougher
Noise.
Let's stand
our ground when
we can, OK?
......
Fine.
Your sync rate just
dropped a little.
Neku!
Stop
running all
the time!
What's
wrong with
running?
You're
holding us
back!
What
happens if we
get a mission
where we
have to take on
really powerful
Noise?
No. More.
Running!
I forbid it!
......
...You hear
me?
Ugh!
You are such
a chicken.
Buck buck
buck buck buck
buh-KAWWWK!
Unbelievable!
Your sync rate just
took a nose dive.
......
This is
awkward...
Oh, we're
running?
You didn't
seem the
type.
......
Well, I
suppose it's
inevitable...
sometimes.
Hee hee...
I suppose
you're an ass.
All the time.
Oh, Neku?
We seem to
be running away
an awful lot.
Are not.
Wait-
don't tell me
you're struggling
with combat!
In your
second
Game?
Honestly, Neku,
it's a wonder you
survived.
I know
how capable
you are,
so I won't
say another
word.
Hee hee...
Rrgh!
Must...not...
strangle!
......
Your sync rate just
dropped a little.
......
What?
...WHAT?
Just say it!
Hmm.
You know
what?
Bite me!
Well, you're
awfully...
Your sync rate just
took a nose dive.
Yo, whatchu
runnin' for,
man?
Why waste
energy?
Hmph.
Aight then.
But next
time we stay
an' fight.
Yo, yo,
what the
hell!?
Why you
keep runnin'?
Strategy.
That's what
you call a tactical
retreat.
Oh yeah? Well...
He who stays
an' fights away
lives today
another fight!
......
Um. No...
I don't
think that's
how it goes.
Whatever!
As long
as we on the
offense!
We gotta
conquer us...
some...some
victories.
Look...
I flunked outta
Japanese,
aight?
Your sync rate just
dropped a little.
Yo yo yo yo yo
yo yo yo yo!
NO!
Men don't run!
Men fight!
Where
your stones,
man?
I told you,
I'm being
strategic.
You'll
never survive
like that, yo!
......
I'm sorry-
that sounded
like worry.
Wha-
N...no!
I don't care
'bout you!
Hells no!
......
Good.
Your sync rate just
took a nose dive.
Hold it,
renegade.
Dammit...
Reaper!
Punk!
Show me
whatchu got!
Got you now,
traitor.
Damn, again!?
Your time
is up.
......
What the-
To right the
countless wrongs
of our day,
we shine
this light of true
redemption,
that this place
may become as
paradise.
What a
wonderful world
such would be...
Here he
comes!
Man, where
they all comin'
from?
Tsk...
Let's go.
Yo, they don't
take a hint.
How many
asses we gotta
kick, man?
Quit moaning
about it.
C'mon.
You hearin'
this, yo?
What's all
that babblin'
about?
......
Good ol'
Hachiko.
Say, Neku...
Do you know
why people call
him the "loyal
dog"?
Well...
yeah.
It's cause he
kept showing up
to wait for his
master,
even long
after the man
passed away.
Very good.
Hachiko's owner
was a professor
who used
Shibuya Station
every day to get
to work.
Hachiko was
born in 1923-
one of the few
purebred Akita
dogs left.
He saw his master
off each morning, and
often padded to the
station to greet him
when he got home.
Talk about
loyal.
In May of
1925, however,
his master died
unexpectedly.
Nonetheless
Hachiko kept up
his daily ritual-
for 10 years.
One of the day's
largest newspapers
brought Hachiko's
story to national
attention.
Soon, not
only Shibuya
locals, but all
Japanese
were moved
by the dog's
unwavering
virtue.
He became an
example for all
to follow.
That's when
the moniker
stuck:
"Loyal dog."
You sure
know a lot
about it.
Whew,
all those
years...
What a
dog, huh?
Hee hee...
Well, it depends
on who you ask.
Some folks
say Hachiko had
another motive.
There was a
yakitori stand
by the station,
so...
some say
Hachiko just really
liked chicken.
Are you
kidding?
It's because
they found some
wooden skewers
in his stomach
when they
performed an
autopsy.
Damning evidence?
You decide.
Wow...
The truth
died with
Hachiko.
......
But I'm
curious what
you think.
Why did
Hachiko come
to the station
each day?
Hee hee...
Could be.
There's the
Moyai statue
again.
Say, Neku...
Do you know
how the statue
got here?
No clue.
Well...
It was a gift.
The island of
Niijima presented it in
1980 to commemorate a
century under Tokyo
administration.
The name
sounds like the
Easter Island
Moai statues it
resembles-
but, as it
happens,
in the Niijima
dialect, "moyai" also
means "working
together."
No kidding.
Just like
you and me,
Neku.
The very picture
of "moyai."
......
Doesn't this
place ever have
a slow day?
Ah, 104...
Since opening
in April, 1979,
"Ten-Four"
has been the
source of fad
after fad.
Most of its
tenants target
women in their
teens and 20s.
Yeah, Shiki
said she came
here a lot...
The cylindrical
tower fits right in
on the corner.
Many a new
makeup or cell
phone line
has debuted
up there on the
giant wall
banner.
The banner
changes a lot,
huh?
Because it
works.
Dogenzaka...
That guy's
ramen shop was
around here.
Say, Neku...
Do you know
where Dogenzaka
got its name?
Nope.
And you
call yourself
a local.
......
There are
two stories.
One attributes
the name to
Owada Dogen,
a bandit.
He was
descended from a
Kamakura-period
general.
You don't
say.
The other
story claims the
name comes from
a temple.
Dogenzaka
also comes up a
lot in Japanese
literature.
Ever read
Edogawa Rampo's
"The Fiend with
Twenty Faces"?
Can't say
that I have.
You should.
I mean, just think!
You're walking
through the pages
of literature and
history.
I feel
so epic.
Sigh...
Neku, is any of
this sinking in?
Oh, yeah.
You sure?
......
All right.
Pop quiz.
Name the
bandit who gave
Dogenzaka its
name.
Very good!
What an
excellent
listener.
Yup.
That's me...
No, Neku.
Wrong.
Someone
forgot to put on
his good listener
ears, hmm?
......
Like a bolt
from the
blue...
it's time for
a Tin Pin lesson,
from me to you.
Right.
Every good
lesson starts with
the basics .
Tin Pin's rules are simple!
Slash your pin to slam it
into an opponent's pin and
knock it off the table.
Knock off all of your
opponents' pins-or have
the most PP when time
runs out-and you win!
ÚÿSlash Technique</span>
Pins move in the direction
you slash. Keep slashing
to pick up speed.
Slash straight down the
middle of the pin to go
straight. Slash the side of
the pin to apply spin.
ÚÿCharge Slamming</span>
Draw a line-but don't lift
the stylus-and you can
store up power.
Once the arrow starts
flashing, lift the stylus to
unleash a high-speed
Charge Slam!
ÚÿKnockouts</span>
If a pin gets hit by a
whammy, it will be knocked
out for a period of time.
If your pin gets KO'd, you
can rapidly tap it to
shorten its downtime!
Yeah, who
doesn't love
whammies ?
I do.
Pins have four powerful
attacks known as
whammies , which activate
with the +Control Pad
(or the A B X Y Buttons).
ÚÿStinger</span>
Use this whammy to cover
your pin with spines and
KO foes that touch you.
(+Control Pad right/
A Button)
ÚÿHelping Hand</span>
If you have fast reflexes,
you can save your pin
from falling off the table!
(+Control Pad down/
B Button)
ÚÿSledgehammer</span>
Use this whammy to
attack in a wide circle and
KO foes from afar!
(+Control Pad left/
Y Button)
ÚÿDive Bomber</span>
Use this precision attack
to vault into the air and
drop onto a distant foe!
(+Control Pad up/
X Button)
Timing is key!
Save your whammies for
just the right moment...
then turn the tables!
Here's what
whammies can do ...
for YOU.
The Stinger ,
Sledgehammer , and
Dive Bomber work much
like rock-paper-scissors.
If an opponent uses the
Stinger ,
knock 'em out with the
ÚÿSledgehammer</span> !
If an opponent uses the
Sledgehammer ,
get the drop on 'em with a
ÚÿDive Bomber</span> !
If an opponent uses the
Dive Bomber ,
be ready to block with the
ÚÿStinger</span> !
Whammies also work while
you're on the move!
Except for the Helping
Hand, you can use any
whammy in the middle of a
high-speed Charge Slam !
Try pairing a Charge Slam
with the Stinger . You can
KO an opponent when the
slam connects!
Lastly, if an enemy slam
sends you flying toward
the table's edge, you can
use the Dive Bomber to
leap to safety!
Remember...
The right whammy at the
right time can turn the
whole match around!
So many pins!
How do you decide
which ones to
slam with?
Stats like the number
of whammies you can use
vary from pin to pin.
Other stats include
weight, spin, and how long
the pin stays KO'd.
While it's tempting to
choose pins with tons of
whammies, you should
consider other factors.
The same whammy may
have a different range,
duration, or drop speed
depending on the pin.
In other words, lots of
each whammy does not a
strong pin make. Look at
a pin's overall stats!
You can check pin stats
from the Pins Menu.
Just touch the TIN PIN
info tab .
Now you're
ready to slam
with the best.
Perhaps
another day, you
may even face...
ME.
