**** ...because no one in Japan speaks English? (Actually, is that prefix even used in the Japanese version of the game? Since Joshua calling Neku by name was added in the localisation, it's not much of a stretch to think they added this too.)

***** Play undub or find his quotes on youtube. He clearly says "zetta ose" and "zetta osen da yo". Do not see why they should have changed it in localization.

** Throughout the game, [[Fun With Acronyms|Minamimoto enjoys spelling out SOHCAHTOA in seemingly random ways.]] When he first meets you and Joshua, he states "Some Old Horses Can Always Hear Their Owners Approaching". This may seem random, but he's actually {{spoiler|hinting to Joshua that he knows his true identity as his former master}}.

* Joshua's death line is "Neku, how could you". You would think it's just about the fact that you screwed up and got both of you killed. {{spoiler|It's actually [[You Have Failed Me|that you failed him]] because Neku is a key pawn in his grand plan.}}

* The barrier of the Shibuya River is in fact the symbol of Anguis Canuts -- a.k.a. {{spoiler|Megumi Kitaniji's Noise form}}. It was a rather subtle hint of who was ''really'' waiting for you, and, to a certain extent, {{spoiler|who was really in control}} all the time Neku was involved in the Reapers' Game.

* How about ''[[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|The World Ends With You]]''? Granted, there isn't much fridge horror as fridge logic and plot twists, but just think about this: when some people die, they go to the "underground" to compete in the "game". If they win, they get back to the real world. So what happens? Do people just forget that the person died? Do they accept that someone came back from the dead? What?!

** Presumably it's the reason the Composer is required to have so much, and such powerful Imagination; It literally has to rewrite reality so that the people who win the game never died. The only ones who would then know of the week they spent dead would be the dwellers of the UG, the player, and the player's partner who, presumably, was also returned.

* It's no surprise that Sota and Nao are dead, since all players are. However, when Makoto is promoting the red pins, they're the first he sells to. Living people can't see the players, so the two must be alive. You get to see Sota and Nao before they die, and it can be a bit jarring to realize that during later playthroughs.
