Bio[edit | edit source]

Neku is an anti-social teenage kid. Until he gets shot and dies. Turns out, little Mr. Edgelord was nominated for the Reaper's Game - a fun, week-long tournament in which the participants must fulfill various missions assigned to them by the eponymous reapers. Winning the tournament allows you a peaceful transfer to the afterlife, or potentially even a second chance at life proper. Not winning the tournament gets you erased from existence, which most people tend to find scary.

To make things even worse, the game requires Neku to partner up and form social bonds with three different partners over the course of each of the game's three subsequent week. If this sounds like a hilariously hamfisted way to trick a target audience of turbo-NEETs into opening up to social relationships - well, who knows. The game did come out in the closing days of Shinzo Abe's first tenure, mind you. And Japan's demographics ain't gonna fix themselves.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Neku Sakubara only appeared in 8chanmania XII, where he promptly was incinerated by an Arch-Vile.
