Neku wakes up in the middle of an otherworldly Shibuya teeming with monsters; he's been dragged into the Reapers' Game, and he'll need to learn to work with the other players he meets if he wants to survive the seven-day contest.

There are no new missions, and it's making Neku nervous; Joshua, however, has his own agenda, and he wants Neku to lend him a hand; when the pair reunite with Hanekoma, a chance remark sparks a memory in Neku.

Neku starts to remember his death, and it makes him more suspicious of Joshua than ever; meanwhile, the game grinds to a halt as Taboo Noise attacks players and reapers alike; Minamimoto is the prime suspect.
