Synopsis of The World Ends With You – The Animation

The protagonist, Neku, wakes up in the middle of Shibuya’s busy Intersection without knowing how he got there. In fact, it lies on an intermediate dimensional plane known as the Underground (UG).

Without knowing it, he has been forced to participate in the “Reaper’s Game”, so Neku teams up with Shiki, a girl he meets on his way. Neku must then fight to survive by completing missions assigned to him and defeating the creatures known as “Noise”. By doing this, he will confront the “Reaper’s Game” and will recover his memories.

“The only way to survive is to trust your partner”, can they then survive this?
