Day 30 - Neku

The emo king himself, that monologue during the intro is iconic and sets his character so well for the evolution he gets throughout all 3 weeks. This cynical introvert slowly learns that the world and the people can actually be kinda ok.

Day 29: What I like most about Rindo comes from his voice actor, Paul Castro Jr.. He puts in so much emotion in each line he reads and I applaud him for his outstanding performance.

His parallels with Neku are weird and interesting. Both have their "influencer" crush being revealed and having to confront them, and both are fairly introverted, but we get to see more of Rindo's own hobbies, making him easier to understand from the get-go.

Day 29 - Rindo

Rindo as a protag wasn't a big hit from the start, he's just a normal kid that got put into a leader role, but it's more through his interactions and experience in the Game that we see more of him and his relationships.

リンドウは最初なんとなく周りに合わせるだけで自分の意見があんまりないイメージだったけど、ストーリーが進むにつれて周りに合わせつつ悩みながらも自分の意見も出すようになって、本当に成長したなと思う❣️日常に戻って、ショウカとも再会できて良かった~✨☺️

I'm so glad that going into NEO Shiki was able to fulfill her dreams, and that we actually get to wear her brand in-game. Her 3 year wait for Neku makes me emotional because of the 14 year wait for payoff on our end, one more reason why I loved NEO's ending.

The emotional dependency that an amnesiac Neku develops, to the point of her becoming an entry fee, is also reflected on the player as a reason to keep going, even if that priority changes over time she is what we protect before it escalates to all of Shibuya

Day 28 - Shiki

Shiki is the driving force and actual motivation in the story to play the Reaper's Game, managing to get Neku to do stuff es he slowly opens up through murder attempts and stuff makes Shiki an absolute angel

シキはネクの閉じた世界を最初に、そして大きく変えた人だよね☺️コンプレックスを克服して夢に向かってブランドを立ち上げたのは本当にすごいと思う!✨新作ではUGの存在になったネクと言葉を交わすことは難しかったけど、次は実際に再会してもっとお話しているの見たいなあ❣️🥰

ショウカ、パッケージで仲間になるだろうなってことは分かっていたけどどうやって仲間になるのか一番気になるキャラだったな🤔しかもツンデレのギャップ感がすごくて、後半色々手助けしてくれたことが発覚してからは好感度が爆上がりして何しても可愛くて好きになった❣️🥰

Story-wise, Shoka represents the only "active" Shinjuku Reaper to actually adapt to Shibuya. I don't particularly like how that was explained during the Ayano quest, but her relationship with the rest is made more apparent later, the texts in W3D6 are lovely

1 1

Her most interesting aspect by far is how her entry fee and Beat's are connected, it's so subtle and unexpected that something like someone's dreams and extremely specific memories could be considered eligible for that

Day 26: I kind of wish Rhyme had a bigger role in Neo, like how the younger Digidestined in Adventures helped the next generation in 02.

Day 25 - Beat

This absolute blockhead, I will admit I didn't like him much in my first playthrough, he's a nuissance until he becomes a partner. But he has so many moments in week 3, both comedy and feels, that are so memorable and unique to him.

 大輔之丞編
いやホント、なんで拒絶の象徴のヘッドホンつけたの??ネクに見間違われるためだけ??って思ってたら、ライムの話ひとっつも聴く気なくて、アッこれは拒絶wwwって納得しました。ヤマイチの示唆でもありそうだけど。アホに磨きが掛かってて心配。壺買わないでね。

He gets along with everyone so well and meets so many important people during the game that I would've never expected his character arc to be about being *too* nice without focusing on himself, hope he learns a lot from his inevitable gacha addiction

Day 24 - Fret

Fret is a fairly straight forward character really, a good friend, but also the main motivator of the early game. Without his willingness to just play the game, coupled with Rindo tagging along to the plans, we may have had no game after all.

フレット!最初から最後までとても良いムードメーカーだったな~周りを盛り上げつつ、自分自身も成長していって、今まで避けていたシリアスな場面も少しずつ向き合うようになっていって…もうフレットさえいればどんな場面も対応可能だね!あなたのチームに1フレットって感じ✨☺️

He's loud to the max and full of obscure and clever jokes which make revisiting his antics every few years fun as hell, I'd say he's the face of TWEWY right next to the OST to a lot of people and he was clearly designed for it, bravo Nomura for this man

Day 22 - Minamimoto

The endlessly quotable math freak garbage collector is popular for a reason. His unpredictable actions and way of thinking on his way to a single-minded conquest of Shibuya by the most roundabout means possible is and was so fucking cool
