The World Ends With You/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The moment when it is revealed that the slacker Reaper Koki Kariya is actually one of the most powerful Reapers, and passes up chances to advance in rank simply because he doesn't want a desk job. Even his boss fight is great, since he complains about having to fight the whole time.
  • And then there's Minamimoto's last attack at the end of the second week. How many villains set off their final attack - a ginormous nuke - by reciting the first one-hundred and fifty digits of freakin' Pi? Because he sure did.
    • Especially awesome if you get the joke of him calling the attack "Level i Flare". In Final Fantasy, Flare is a strong spell that shows it's power in "Level x Flare". Keep in mind that "i" is used to represent imaginary units and then think how powerful that makes it.
      • Actually, that means it has negative power, because i by definition is any number the square of which is less then zero, so.... yeah.... On a side-note, I now want to see someone yell "LEVEL i FLARE!" and then get healed by it.
        • i is the square root of negative 1, right? Factor in the bugs that come in with a negative one in an unsigned integer variable, and, with 32 bits to the integer, the result is now the square root of 4294967295. That is, as an integer, 65535.
      • The "level" part of the spell in this case doesn't represent its power, instead it means the spell targets all enemies with the level divisible by the number given. Which is still pretty cool in this context, what with him targetting and blowing up pretty much everything possible with it. Unless I misunderstood something.
      • So, since i squared is -1, and -1 squared is 1, then every level that is a multiple of 1 is a multiple of -1, and thus a multiple of i. Meaning that Level i Flare is an immensely powerful magic that targets every enemy (or simply everyone on the screen), including those with imaginary levels. Kinda like Level 1 Flare, but targeting a wider variety of enemies, and with a cooler name.
      • Level i flare is so immensely powerful because it hits enemies on every plane simultaneously, which is why it was even a threat to Joshua in the first place: he doesn't have all his godlike powers in the RG, so he would have been seriously hurt, if not killed.
    • And soon afterwards finding out why everyone says Joshua is a Jesus analogue.
  • "Here comes the Beat wagon!" I'm not sure why it's awesome. It just is.
  • As far as I'm concerned, the attack Neku uses at the end of the final battle, where he fuses with all three of his partners and activates a giant skull attack, which finishes the final boss in one blow (and looks extremely cool while doing it) was probably the most awesome moment of the entire game.
  • Joshua yelling "That's it, you are DONE!" and impaling a giant shadow rhinoceros with a beam of sacred light fueled by the souls of the dead.
  • Week 1 Day 7, Shiki fearlessly talking back to Higashizawa and stating that there's nothing he can do, she's getting back. Also a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
  • Every player gets a personal one upon defeating Bonus Boss Panthera Cantus on Ultimate Difficulty. Don't pretend you don't feel all-powerful once you've finally managed to kick those kitten's asses.
  • Progfox's "fusion" where he transforms into a nine-tailed Bahamut and fires Mega Flare.
  • All of the Level 3 Fusions are pretty awesome. Neku and Shiki ride a giant Mr. Mew that shoots two giant Eye Beams, Neku and Beat ride a tidal wave that crashes down onto the bad guys, and Neku and Joshua drop the freakin' moon onto the enemy.
  • The soundtrack. Tracks like "Twister" and "Three Minutes Clapping" do an amazing job to back up the style of this game.
