closed thread with @dcrlingmuses' Julie! (cont. from here)
Unfortunately for Julie, the knowledge has seered its way into her younger classmate's head. It is forbidden knowledge, but she can't help having a memory sticky like gum! Or something!
Tumblr media
"Oh, nonono! You needn't worry," Hazuki waves her hands frantically in front of her. She knocks her elbow and one of her pointe shoes against the door handle as she backs into it. "I'll try to put it out of my mind. Okay? I'm so sorry, I should know to be more careful this time of year!"

"Yeah but not jus' THAT, Hazuki!" Aiko's voice crackled slightly.
Tumblr media
"I mean, why did Ody have to do THAT!? I mean, I think I get WHY but it still made me real sad, y'know!?"
The realization dawns on Hazuki. She knows exactly what Aiko is talking about.
"I KNOW! That's all he's wanted for over TEN YEARS!"
Tumblr media
"Telemachus was just a BABY! He missed his WHOLE CHILDHOOD, essentially!

I want to take this moment before I become extremely argumentative and obnoxious to thank everyone for being so doom and gloom about Tam's future, thus giving me something to rally against so I can stop just being doom and gloom myself. This is my post about the developments from today's show.
"Dana this is all just cope!" everything we do in life is to cope. Also he's in AEW so no I don't really think he's involved? Now,
- "Tam has been talking about retirement the past few years, she just thinks it's time!" Tam has been talking about retirement the past 8.5 years. She has been wrestling for 9. She injured her neck shortly after she debuted and hasn't stopped talking about retirement since that
- Tam is always working. I mean "shoot" doesn't really happen in jp wrestling anyway but even in character Tam is playing a character. That's a separate thread but yeah "oh well Tam said -" just isn't how it works. You really think a wrestler would do that?? Just go out there and lie??
- To that point, she's also said she's never going to retire ever, a lot more recently than she'd said she was going to retire in a year or two (which was 4 years ago atp) so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Tam is not remotely even an ounce above using retirement as a plot device and has done so before
- Tam knows Onita. Retirement holds no sacredness to her. Even if she did retire it could still be to get her knee worked on and then come back. Getting Hazuki back was already kind of my permanent "retirement means nothing" moment so I tend to not really write anyone out as just 100% never coming back ever, generally speaking. It is still wrestling after all
- If Tam were to win the belt again, I'm pretty sure she'd be the first person to ever win it three times. I suspect she'd probably want that to be a pretty big deal, with a very high stakes match. Which, well. It is that
- Tam's whole... thing, whole philosophy, is that wrestling should give you hope out of the darkest circumstances. It would be very Tam-core for all this to still be creating the darkest circumstances, especially for a 4-month long feud, which is extremely long by Stardom's standards.
- The stip is loser retires, not "Tam retires if she loses". Doing such big stakes in order to do such a downer, seemingly foregone conclusion is.... Iiiii dunno. Just my take but it feels like both not Tam's style and not Tam's style as a booker not Stardom's current booking style.
Now, that said, can I say I know there's no way Tam would choose to retire in a sudden, dramatic manner like that? No, of course not. It would certainly be showy enough, and a grand stage. But just overall, I don't know. It doesn't feel right. Ending a story in a way that makes people miserable like that just doesn't feel like her style to me, it would feel very wrong. "Believe in Tam" isn't just a catchphrase, it's a command, because she is going to make you doubt her. Parappa voice you gotta believe. To just go damn, I lost, okay bye. It would feel like a very legitimate betrayal imo. So no, I don't know anything, and I'm terrified and I feel like garbage about this whole angle, but I've dropped companies bc I felt they didn't have dramatic wrestling with stakes, and we're sure getting that now. So for now if the only options are despair and believe I know which one she asks us to do.

7 and 14!!!
Thanks for the ask, @graceisprettygreat! (From here)
7. Share a line/paragraph/snippet that you were especially proud of from a work this year!
Two things that could fit this:
First, a bit from Purity of the Machine. The most important section, even if not necessarily the best, is the part where I transition Luna from thinking that robots are down-trodden in a Cyberpunk to realising that she's actually as high-status as you can get. Luna waking up in the palace is a major step in that.
For the third time in her life, Luna awoke. She was lying on a marble plinth, looking up towards a bright ceiling. Hexagonal panels tessellated perfectly, many subtle shades of blue merging together to form the image of an open sky. Just like her Rhizome Nine’s Botanical Garden.
When Luna sat up she saw that this was also a garden. In a space twice as wide and three times as long as her own botanical garden plants grew, flowers bloomed, fruit ripened, fields of grass danced in the fanned breeze. And though the plinth she rested on was at the centre of a cobblestone courtyard, it was also ringed with life. Arrangements of flowers in every colour imaginable surrounded the marble base like a halo.
Luna jumped down from the marble plinth, allowing herself a few skipping steps forward as she touched down on the floor. Then she examined herself. She was no longer wearing that deep purple hoodie that’d taken her on her odyssey through the city. Instead she was back in a long flowing dress and lilac blouse: a genuine relief. For a moment she could have mistaken it for her own, familiar dress. But it was something more. With each step she took the patterns of white thread shifted across the Tyrian purple: spinning petals at first, a bird jovially flapping its wings, a pair of hands clasping in agreement. Some sort of nanotechnology woven into the fabric made this all possible.
As a last check Luna checked her birdcage ornament. It was back where it was supposed to be: a necklace, hanging at her chest for all the world to see.
Second, and while it doesn't quite count as a 'line/paragraph/snippet', I was really quite irrationally satisfied with the chapter titles I used for my ZEcret Santa contribution this year. It was Santa ---> The Bringer that got me started on this. I knew from the beginning that Hazuki would give us the view from the street of the Funyarinpa crisis, so the connection through the peaceful Lotus eaters slotted in naturally. I even got to make Junpei, no codename just Junpei to work (albeit by relying on fucking Kant), and Ace ---> Highest/Lowest fit perfectly even though his epilogue was a last minute addition. The only real trip up was where Snake ---> Two-Pronged strike got locked in when his chapter covered both SOIS and Crash Keys infiltrating from opposite directions, while Akane covered the aftermath, and by the time I realised those needed to be the other way around I couldn't get anything to fit.
14. Give us a sneak peek of one of your upcoming works!
'Upcoming' is stretching it a bit - as always, TUoHS is years away from publish - but here's the concluding section from Haruhi's Free-Time event in chapter 26. (I'll leave it under a read-more for anyone concerned about spoilers)
“What’s got you wound up, Haruhi?” I asked.
For the first time since she’d started staring out the window Haruhi glanced my way. “You think I’m wound up?”
I glanced down to where her fingers were white-knuckle clenched around the neck of the guitar. “Yeah, I think so.” I thought for a couple more seconds, then added, “It’s something about what Ultimate Despair’s doing out there. It’s gotta be.”
Haruhi locked eyes with me for a couple of seconds. “Yeah, you could say that,” she eventually replied.
I considered saying, ‘Can you spell it out for me?’; in the end it was unnecessary.
“I don’t know how they did it, but whoever it was who started Ultimate Despair won over a ton of people to their cause. They destroyed all those targets in those terrorist attacks, conquered this school and the entire region around it, had governments around the globe scared to death of them.” Haruhi’s glower had grown almost radioactive. “They changed the world.”
I nodded, solemnly.
“It should have been me. I’m supposed to be the one who changes the world. No-one else. Me.”

she allows herself a solid five minutes in the bathroom to break down. but when she faces herself in the grimy mirror, there aren't tears. in fact, there's barely anything more than a wrinkle in her brow when she realizes how lopsided her hair has become. with a deep breath, hazuki fixes what she can— a braid pulled tighter here, a streak of mascara dabbed away there— until the haste of it all catches up with her. she has to get home to her girls. and that's that, nine plus hours of insanity wiped partially away with a square of rest stop toilet paper.
people stare at her when she throws the door open. people always tend to do so, actually, but she knows precisely why they're doing it now. still, hazuki is much too tired to really care about her current outfit, and the nevada sun makes it too hot for her to even considering borrowing a jacket from one of her . . . one of the members of her entourage. and speaking of them, here's junpei— looking and sounding just as desperate as she feels.
hazuki wastes no time for both their sakes. with a snap of her finger ( an order to follow ), she begins to walk at a brisk pace. ❝ we need to find a payphone first. i have to call my daughters. there should be one by the store. ❞ a very brief glance is spared in the direction of their vehicle at seven's name. a yogurt cup or something wouldn't hurt, she supposes. ❝ how gentlemanly of him. i hope he doesn't expect us to magically know what it is that he wants. ❞
they're at a rest stop, finally. there's a starbucks tucked in the corner with a longer line than he'd expected for what still feels like the middle of nowhere, and a convenience store to his right next to the bathrooms currently occupied by the majority of his party, and that's about it. it's so mundane, so unremarkable in comparison to the last nine hours that it's almost dizzying. junpei finds himself wondering if there's somehow a trick behind it all.
it's only when he catches himself searching the walls for a puzzle to solve, for some sort of clue, that he comes back to reality, and he shakes his head forcefully as though to physically clear his mind. there's no locked doors here. no bracelets. they can leave. they have left. they've escaped, and they're all alive, despite the hazy not - memories that could convince him otherwise. but they all made it. even if the person he needs to see isn't ... okay, fuck, he's gotta think of something else, and quick.
like a saviour in green and jangling jewelry, lotus — hazuki — steps through the bathroom door, and junpei immediately straightens up from the wall he'd been waiting against. ❛ we should go to the store. it'd be good to grab some snacks for everyone, right? ❜ he says, a little too quickly, and hopefully she can hear the silent plea in his voice : please, i gotta do something. ❛ before we got out of the car, seven gave me, uh, his wallet. so it's on him. ❜ or it's on hongou, whose wallet seven had found seemingly left for them in the glove compartment, but it's not like either of them can say that out loud.
@heldgirl / starter call.

@divenaz
long days lent themselves particularly well to longer nights.
now, hazuki always preferred kickbacks and house parties to any club — the smaller atmosphere made him feel less lonely, even if it was harder to disappear from people he didn’t want to see. the throngs of people in clubs ebbing and flowing like a tsunami often left him feeling stranded.
but hazuki wasn’t picky, either; he was tired of work, stressed out of his mind, fingers twitchy. he needed the energy boost, the feeling of feeding off of and feeding everybody around you, the bass beating through his veins. needed it like air, like the liquor running through his system. for the first time this week, he feels alive.
hazuki’s not really even paying attention to the conversation he’s having. the chick was pretty, sure, but he’s just nodding along before he accidentally looks over her shoulder, blood running cold. the lights in the club were no help, but hazuki would recognize that face wherever he went. hey, hazuki, i bought you this on the way! eat up! we have a test! dark eyes ducked down, but he knew it was too late, eye contact was eye contact. sunan had seen him too, he knew, and all he could do was pray that — like every other fucking day for the last seven goddamn years — sunan ignored him.
he still chugged the rest of his drink, though, glass slamming on the counter harsher than he intended.

having the feather in ep1 and then dropping that muse weren't the first actually in ep8 is insane. sunrise ur insane.
anyway i forgor when was the fan theory for when the musical is set bc that's meant to be the first "school idols" before they kicked off just before SIP. and Ren's mum isn't in the musical. How old was Ren's mum anyway.
Okay so i read the summary thread on twitter it's probably set in the mid-2000s and SIP is early 2010s so yeah that checks out ig. Superstar S1 is 2020 at the absolute earliest so ya. Ig Mrs Hazuki was doing idol stuff in the 90s then?
episode 8 time. i think my headphones just died bc the audio is suddenly very quiet and it's not just the anime

“ DON’T come in— ”
Tumblr media
the shinjuku room of reckoning is a mess. red feathers—mostly but not exclusively down, fluttering across the floor every time haz so much as turns around—fill the room, covering the throne and the vast emptiness surrounding it in a contrast that would look slightly horrifying if not for the flustered composer in the middle of it all, desperately trying to make the situation go away so that they won’t have to explain it to the two conductors outside.

My 4444-word review of NEO TWEWY (with personal illustration + heavy spoilers)
Tumblr media
My overall critical score for the game is 7.5/10, while my personal enjoyment score is 8.5/10. This review is posted as I have 80% completed the game, got the secret ending and achieved the Angel psychic rank. I’ll first start with the main pros and cons as follows.
PROS:
-        Enjoyable as a whole, still upholding the first game’s spirit in world building and sharing the same backbone - which was mostly revealed in the Secret Reports, it’s impossible to grasp the story without reading them.
-        The new cast and new game is charming in their own way
-        The old cast’s return is one of the biggest highlights for sure, it was fun and impactful. Everyone stays true to themselves and also had their own stories wrapped up nicely.
-        Boss designs are cool, new pins are fun to use and collect
-        The connection between the old and new cast is well written and executed, including but are not limited to the tension between the old and new protagonist, the weird but fun interaction between the 2 Composers, the new friendships revealed and formed
-        Sho being in the main cast is something so uniquely TWEWY and uniquely Sho
-        Still good music
-        Still many fun side quests, some of them really uphold the same quirky spirit of the old game and some are surprisingly touching
-        Many new nice stores and yummy looking foods to explore
-        The map is really easy to memorize for me, it’s fun to travel around the “current” Shibuya to see all the differences compared to the past
-        The social network is crazy and interesting to read through
-        Has an anti-frustration system to help 100% complete the game more easily and earn money faster, so post-game is relatively managable.
-        Overall, I really feel the efforts the team poured into making this as their passion project, not just during the development process but for all the last 14 years. They showed the vision of what they wanted to make, at the same time giving something to both the old as well as new fans.
CONS:
-        The biggest problem with the game is scenario writing. The story is so heavily back-loaded. The director himself thought it would be better to balance out the tension flow by adding more at the beginning but gave in to the scenario writer in the end, probably due to time pressure. This results in an underwhelming execution of characterization and lots of wasted potentials for the first half of the game.  
-        I struggle to view it as a stand-alone game, since the backstory and the old cast both play such an important role in the core of the game. If someone plays this game without having played the OG, they can only enjoy it on surface value at best.
-        The new cast is nice but most of them aren’t quite as intriguing as the old cast, maybe it’s cuz they’re all too nice deep down that they lack a little bit of an edge, of that batshit craziness that everyone in the OG used to have? I think some characters (Fret, Nagi) ended up weaker in terms of characterization because the writer is too afraid of making them unlikeable – which kind of backlashed cuz they only became likable in the most expectable way to cater for a specific group of fans. I would have wished for the other team leaders to be more crazy too, had they not suffered 30+ loops of the Game…
-        The CAMERAWORK IS HELL.
-        Gameplay does get tedious at certain points with all the time travels.
-        Shiba is so badly written as a villain, some Shinjuku characters should be given more screentime cutting into Shiba’s– like Hishima or Kaie or even, Hazuki (though his limited presence also solidified his importance).
-        Some of the main character designs, for example Beat’s hairstyle and his food reactions are hilariously bad. What’s the point of covering up most of his unique facial features?
-        Some of the minor/side characters’ design are too cool for them to have such a small role (eg: Ayano, Eiru). Ryoji did get much screentime but is nowhere as fun as Makoto was.
-        Overall the scope of this game is made a little too big for the team to handle as perfectly as the last game that was very compact, it felt somewhat rushed in development too so the missing pieces are clearly there in the final picture
The entry fee versus paying for it all in the end
An important difference between the Neo game and the original Shibuya game was that the Shibuya rule asked for an entry fee that is the Player’s most important asset, stated as a chance the Composer gives them to reexamine themselves. Meanwhile, the Shinjuku rule neither encourages nor allows personal growth and ultimately aims to erase as many Players as possible. It’s a pity we were never introduced to the full Shinjuku rulebook, as it seems like the system there focuses more on building up power and a grand government to compare with the individuality-driven system of Shibuya.
When you have to compare the new game and the original game (OG), this is an important factor to consider. Also, the OG has a serious storyline running through and through, locked with a different partner/GM creating unique atmosphere for each week and you don’t get to see your old partners again until the end. NEO’s team system does not allow such deep insight and communication between the Players. All of your teammates are always there throughout, the dynamic does change with each new addition but it is not as prominent as a partner change.
Another important factor is how the OG was built from scratch for a new platform as “something no one has ever seen before”, while Neo recycled a lot of old unused ideas from the previous development (check out this interview for more details). The development team for NEO lacks 2 key members and had a change of writer so the final product is not as strongly bound together as the last game.
The new cast is definitely inspired by today’s teenagers (from the view of creators), compared to the old cast they’re more sociable and always seem to take whatever works for them despite feeling unstable inside. They are all innocent and genuinely nice kids, avoiding to hurt each other to a degree that they end up keeping some sort of distance. They’re also unable to communicate at deeper levels, always stagnant at this half-baked stage of equilibrium without any motivation to get to the core of things. That is the cost of entering the game without an entry fee, without even dying or having a reason to be there/to fight seriously. These kids were stolen from the RG into a Game that was decidedly the worst environment for them to change or develop, just wandering around cluelessly to find a way “out” until tragedies started to unfold one by one and they ended up being charged the total sum of the price for their actions – ultimately losing everything in the end.
That is, I believe, a story arc which can resonate more to the youth of today rather than of my generation. If the message of the old game was to “listen”, enjoy life to the fullest and accept to trust others, the message of the new game is to “speak up” from the inside, trying to understand yourself and take actions instead of just going with the flow and finally, to take responsibility for such actions.
If Neku was handpicked by the Composer for being the special one with an all-dense soul to ensure victory of the game then Rindo was just a normal kid chosen out of random by Kubo to be his back-up plan, who just happened to have a high enough imagination to awaken the incredible power from his pin. Rindo was then officially chosen by the Composer as Josh picked up and handed the pin to him again, this time not as Josh’s personal Proxy – but as the Proxy to represent the normal people of Shibuya and via whom he could gamble if humans can fight for their own fate.
The underworld heroine and the hero with little of his own
Tumblr media
Shoka is for me a refreshing and layered heroine. She’s the kind of character that took at least 3 trials of creators to form as a complete individual – that included Nomura who gave her the base design and Reaper background, Gen who gave a more cunning touch and the writers who made her English dialogues more punchy. Dishonesty equals “tsundere” is such a cliché, so the English writers tried really hard to avoid that trope in my opinion, while still letting her good intention come through.
She serves as the character who is informed of everything the players should have known, and there was almost nothing she could do about it. Almost. Until she met Rindo.
They were drawn to each other by sharing a state of “not having anything of their own”. They both started out with not being able to truly know themselves, Shoka even hated her RG life but also managed to mature from that stage before Rindo. She must have vibed with Shiki’s love and passion in the Gatto Nero threads, initiating her connection with Shibuya and understanding herself more. With Shoka as Swallow, they were able to open up to each other and offer mental support… but was still not getting to the centre of their problems because for all this time, Shoka could not tell Rindo the most important things about herself.
How did Shoka feel when she met Rindo at the UG? She probably didn’t want to hope that he would live the day until she witnessed the Twisters’ potentials. From the very beginning, they were both incredibly conscious of each other and also constantly frustrated that the person they happened to “notice” was such a condescending bitch/a clueless loser. The Shinjuku Reapers are overall quite drunk in power and uncompassionate to Players, Shoka included. She is also a master of dissociation, which results in her constant boredom, tone swings, haughtiness and subconsciously distancing herself from the friend – the boy she cares about – from false hope, as she judged from facts that it was a hopeless situation where nothing could ever be. Maybe she is naturally a bit of a chameleon just like her name suggests (Shoka 紫陽花 = hydrangea, the color-changing flower), so putting on an act and always dissociating herself from what’s important was easy, while hiding her contradiction was impossible. It was the ex-Reaper Beat who broke it out to her, that she should decide whether she really cared and wanted to do something for a change. He knew how it felt like to cross that line, and knew she wanted to too.  
Shoka is endeared by many of the Shinjuku Reapers and has shown independent acts of kindness (the Shinjuku ghost), proving that her kind and truthful side is as real as her harsh and dishonest side – which makes her a nice mirror to the previous heroine Shiki, who also embraced a dichotomy of self-complex and self-love within her character. In the end, she was the first of the new cast to ultimately accept all that is important to her and independently made the decision to help save Shibuya despite all costs.
She was jealous at Rindo’s interaction with Tsugumi and Kanon but remained silent cuz she wasn’t at a place to have any say about it. She also didn’t reveal about Swallow because that would only add an awkward irrelevance to their current situation, as she was too ready to face erasure at the end of the Game. She only wished to “play a game” with him, be it FanGo or the Reapers’ Game. The tension that the team could only feel at the end, she’s felt it the entire time. The song “DIVIDE” is applicable to not just one bond in the game, but it always makes me think of theirs. There is always a “divide” between her and Rindo throughout the course of their journey, as the living and the dead, as a Player and Reaper, as someone who has a place to return to and someone who doesn’t, someone who knows little but wields too much power and someone who knows a lot despite not being able to do much.
“If only I had the chance to connect with you on the other side
But time goes on, and without us realizing it
The battle is getting heated
Time goes on, and without us realiazing it
Divided again”
To be honest, maybe I didn’t grow any affection for the new main cast from Rindo’s perspective but from Shoka’s. Since I started to sympathize with Shoka, I started to see the boy in a more “real” way. The real Rindo, behind his peaceful façade with others, would lash out on Shoka for her unfairly harsh attitude while none of the others cared. He could also subtly feel that mantle of unspoken secrets from her, her own contradictions, the unresolved chemistry between themselves – and not knowing what to do with it rather than to feel angry with all the unfairness he could not process. (As a Libra too, he’s triggered the most by unfairness!)
It is actually a positive development as he’s at least “reacting” to something strongly now rather than to keep evading his problems. During my replay, I clearly saw the difficult situation Shoka was in, her remaining harshness after the Motoi incident was due to her internal struggle with a mission to save her own life, versus a chance to really be with the team. Her decision was to do both at the risk of losing favour from both sides. Rindo started to accept her layer by layer, as the person who resonated the most to her contradicting nature from the start and knew that via learning her resolve, he has learnt his too.
Later into the game, she even got too much of his attention. Maybe even without knowing she’s Swallow, he’s familiar with her thinking direction and Swallow had always been closer to him than any other friend. It was only after she had to betray her important ones twice that she could start being truly honest. The scene when she died a 2nd time left a strong impression in me, the little reveal let Rindo know that he is also losing Swallow as he’s losing Shoka – and that only death could drive the last secret out of her. Her final “Later, loser” echoed through Rindo as it was the final truth, with only him remaining to hear it: they had actually, already lost everything.
Rindo was the boy who never dared to face all that matters to him until he lost it all, fighting an unfair battle in the faith that they would somehow still win. Shoka was the girl who always knew what was dear to her, but never dared to think she could be together with them ever after and still threw her all into a battle she knew was losing. I think they stir each other on naturally to fill out their gaps, similar to what the Shibuya game partner systerm would have aimed for. The end reward was a little divine intervention to help close up the divide between them once and for all.  
During the game there was not enough space to process anything personal so at the ending when they officially became “friends”, it was an important affirmation of their bond. Some people complained it was friendzoning but it’s not, they just have arrived at the perfect place to start something more. “From now on, we will truly be together” – I read it as that kind of message.  
The heroine from a lost battle, with her story taken away
Tumblr media
After reading the secret reports and playing the game to be surprised of how small a role Tsugumi had in the main game despite being the “Hype-chan” thought to be a major character of the next TWEWY installment, many fans would feel sad at a missed opportunity to see the Shinjuku arc in full depiction.
It was shown clearly that, a Shinjuku arc was very carefully planned out and is a vital part of the whole story, yet it could not be made due to various circumstances behind the development scene. I would assume, that the team were not able to make a TWEWY game that ended on a despairing note, but it already happened in their mind, thus becoming a mental burden that forced them to break away from it and started the game anew with NEO. A significant part of NEO became the healing arc for the Shinjuku characters, especially for Tsugumi though I really wished more emphasis should have been placed on her rather than Shiba. We didn’t even get to see her brother – Shinjuku’s Conductor who had a vital role and instead was given the clueless Shiba, who had absolutely no idea what’s going on all the way until the last day in NEO. It’s as if Tsugumi has had her story stolen away from her, because her own battle ended with a saddening loss.
I think every time the game creators look at Tsugumi, they would feel that sadness too. Maybe to them, she is a bigger character than what is seen by the fans, as despite their failed effort to depict her story, she’s lived in their mind for all these years through periods of destruction, healing and rebuild.  Though it is a pity we could not get to experience the full scope of the Shinjuku story, the creators was clear about the place they wished for it to arrive at.    
Individuality, connection and the social network
Tumblr media
The team system adapted from Shinjuku rulebook does not allow much room for personal development, as the team dynamic is closer to a work relationship forced to bear results, than a spiritual bond to max out all corners of understanding as found in the partnership system. The old Shibuya system allowed only 1 winner and 1 week limit per game, while the new rule declares for a 1 winning team and only the team at last place will be erased – the other teams will enter another loop. Furthermore, whichever team to challenge the unwinnable Ruinbringers will face the risk of ending up dead last followed by erasure. As a result, the longest-standing teams are most likely not the strongest ever recorded, but the ones who have figured out a strategy to simply survive until something changes, enjoying their newly found social constructs while they are at it. Basically, it is a system to hypnotise players into the illusion that they are still “living”.
Therefore, we as players would not get to the core of each Player individually as fast and directly as we did in the last game. The Twisters were able to stand out not because they’re powerful, they only started to have a real chance after growing enough to each form a meaningful and personal connection to another teammate. It did not come as a team, nor did it intiate from the existing friendship between Rindo and Fret. In fact, I did not find much solidity or anything truly note-worthy about the main team and new characters within themselves until they started clashing with other team members, Reapers and new recruits from week 2 onwards. Rindo found his personal development with Shoka (via a clash with Motoi and pretty much a mini dating sim between them), then via the confrontation of his role with Neku; Fret found his with Kanon then Nagi, the team learned about the real Neku via Beat, Neku entered the UG via Coco’s wish to save Tsugumi… it was not the team but their personal links that empowered them to fight and solve each of their problems.
The other team leaders may have failed because they did not form such personal links, after 30+ hopeless loops Fuya’s team all fell apart to pursue their own interest even at the cost of erasure, Motoi quit his KOL façade to work like a dog for the Reapers (probably to save just his own ass not his team), while Kanon dropped her tricks to find changes via honest cooperation in acceptance of a fair loss. The despairing note in that is huge without making much of a scene because their failure didn’t happen at their best effort to “win”, but in their last attempt to find a way “out”. Even Shiba got his way “out” in the end thanked to his personal friendship with Hishima and Tsugumi.
Something has shifted in the mindset of the game creators in the last 14 years, as both games are about “connection vs individuality” but the last game focuses more on connection between just individuals and this one on the overall network that is formed out of those individual connections.
The introduction of Beat into the main cast was truly the bridge between old and new, they helped each other out in several turns before officially recruiting him. Beat is a character whom a lot of fans including myself have felt somewhat concerned about after Neku disappeared from the RG, so when the new kids welcomed Beat with warm and organic interaction and Beat seemed happy, I started to feel like I wanted to help them out too! I think the overall team chemistry is enjoyable enough for new players, but I could warm up to the new kids more from the pov of a returning character – whom I’m glad to be Beat, as the older brother figure who is genuinely kind, fun, serious and upbeat at the same time; who is needed and needs the kids in return.
The social network is a fun and refreshing feature. You can read all of the crazy tidbits about Shibuya and the links each character have formed with the town people, it’s also fun to visualize how the characters act off screen. Characters’ profiles provide extra insight into their background too, like how it reveals Tsugumi has been friend with Coco during her time in the RG. During the game when not all characters have showed up, you can sometimes guess which empty spot will belong to whom. For example there is a 1 character linking to Neky that is not linked to anyone else, so I could guess that was Joshua, and that another character linking only to Joshua was probably Hazuki, hinting that the 2 Composers are related before either of them even showed up.
Tumblr media
Hazuki only showed up for 5 minutes, but his presence is so vital and true to the game that I think he is the most memorable out of the new cast. The two Composers have such an intriguing bond, with their yin/yang or phoenix/dragon themes, opposite color design, the sempai/kouhai tone and the way they keep some sort of distance/work relationship as if it’s mandatory between Higher beings, yet at the same time they can talk so casually because they are truly equal – and different from one another. I have written a separate meta on them here.
Some people pointed out, that all Shinjuku characters’ names and themes are based off Hanafuda cards and the Phoenix in Hanafuda belongs to the Paulownia suit – which is Joshua’s name flower. This is so interesting because it feels like the creators somehow saw it as a sign to interweave the Shibuya and Shinjuku storylines together. Though it doesn’t come out much on the surface, it’s fascinating nonetheless considering both Josh and Haz had at some point interfered with the other town’s affairs.
“Shibuya tour with Haz” was such a special scene, as it happened between 2 characters who do not/no longer have a reason to care about Shibuya, on the subject of what is worth saving about Shibuya. Hazuki carried out the purification of Shinjuku and stepped in to restore Shibuya just as part of his job and unlike Hanekoma or Joshua who both possess profound understanding of humanity, he really didn’t know humans at all. Rindo’s irrational wish invoked in him a sense of curiosity, to try gambling on something irrationally and learning a bit of what his senior have experienced. With all the pieces put together, it provides an overview on Higher beings as a whole, and that Joshua and Hanekoma are really the odd ones out with Hazuki being somewhere in between them and the rest.        
The old friends
Tumblr media
It’s easy to have returning characters overshadow the new cast as they have already matured out of their personal story arc and stayed in our hearts for all this time. In the end, I have managed to enjoy both the old and new cast separately and altogether, and they will both find their own place in our memory of this game for the long term.
Sho is truly as crazy as ever, the game wouldn’t be the same if Sho is any less of what he is. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like Neky or Beat is younger than Nagi at all, with moments when it seems like Neky has aged 14 years instead of 3 years. His friendship with Coco surprised me pleasantly, and their interaction together with Beat was fun to watch. Rhyme’s found a new dream and her friendship with Kaie is precious too, especially considering that she can still talk to him online after the game ended. Josh and Neku’s interaction suggested that they have resolved the past and are on equal terms now, they even parted ways in good spirit and I don’t feel any worry about them like I did before.
Tumblr media
Neku and Shiki’s reunion scene was beautiful, theirs is such a special bond that it has grown and supported them even without being able to see each other. I am so happy to see them all again and that they stay true to who they are, albeit looking more grown up, cooler and happier than ever before.  
Overall, NEO can’t become a classic on par with the OG, but is definitely a good sequel and a good game in its own rights. I’m happy with whether or not there will be a 3rd game to complete the 3 monkeys theme, but if there will be – I hope the creators can really find the time to learn from the last 2 games and start over with a fresh mindset and strong core.
