Okay, let's talk about Neo: The World Ends With You. Specifically, the *characters*. Some are awesome. Others... well, opinions vary, right?
Rindo Kanade: Protagonist Problems?
Rindo. Our silent (mostly) protagonist. Is it just me, or is he kinda... bland? He's supposed to be this strategic genius. But mostly he just looks confused.
I get it. Silent protagonists are a Thing. But give us *something*, Rindo! Maybe a quirky tic? A love for pineapple pizza?
He's like a create-your-own-protagonist kit. But you forgot to buy the personality add-ons.
Fret: The Social Butterfly (Maybe Too Much?)
Fret! Now *this* guy has personality. He's all about that social media life. Always trying to "befriend" everything.
Sometimes I feel like Fret's Befriending skill is a *little* too strong. Like, chill out, buddy! You're going to overwhelm everyone.
But honestly? I kind of love him. He's the comic relief we all need.
Nagi Usui: The Fangirl's Favorite
Nagi is awesome. No debate. She's fiercely loyal. A hardcore gamer.
Her obsession with the *Princess Gothloli* franchise is hilarious. And oddly relatable.
She's the best example of how Neo: TWEWY manages to mix darkness with really endearing goofiness. Truly Best Girl.
Minamimoto Sho: Math Genius (And Total Madman)
Zetta slow! Okay, I had to. Sho Minamimoto is... a lot. Math puns. Cryptic pronouncements.
He's a genius, no doubt. But also certifiably insane. Like, needs-a-straightjacket-and-therapy insane.
I both love and fear him. He's basically the Rick Sanchez of the Reapers' Game. Just... with less burping.
The Rest of Wicked Twisters: A Mixed Bag
The other members of the Wicked Twisters? Some are cool. Some are… there.
Shiba is alright. But I don't see why he's so revered.
I honestly forget some of their names. Sorry, not sorry.
The Reapers: Are They REALLY the Bad Guys?
The Reapers. Supposedly the villains. But are they, *really*? Some of them seem genuinely stressed out.
Imagine having to run the Reapers' Game. Dealing with all those angsty teenagers. No wonder they're grumpy!
Some Reapers, like Coco Atarashi, are just hilarious. I would watch a spin-off starring her, easily.
Unpopular Opinion Time
Okay, here's my truly unpopular opinion: I think *Neo: TWEWY*’s story is better than the original’s!
The characters feel more complex. The stakes are higher. And the ending... chef's kiss!
Don't @ me. (Okay, maybe @ me. I like a good debate.)
Final Thoughts
Neo: The World Ends With You has a lot of characters. Some hit. Some miss. But that's what makes it fun, right?
We can all argue about who's the best. Who's the worst. Who needs a serious personality upgrade.
But one thing's for sure: it is a game that's worth talking about. Zetta, I mean... seriously, go play it!
