Shibuya Reapers

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or character details follow.

TheShibuya Reapers are a group ofReapers who hail fromShibuya, and originally appeared inThe World Ends with You. The distinction is only officially made inNEO: The World Ends with You, whenShinjuku Reapers are introduced.

Initially a large population of Reapers, most of the Shibuya Reapers wereerased during the longReapers' Game inThe World Ends with You, particularly byNeku Sakuraba,Daisukenojo "Beat" Bito,Mitsuki Konishi and a lot ofTaboo Noise. They became outnumbered by the Shinjuku Reapers who arrived in Shibuya after the events ofA New Day, who use them for monitoring Players.

Characteristics[]

Shibuya Reapers have stylized black angular pinions protruding from their back. It can be observed that more experienced Shibuya Reapers have smaller, angular wings they have better control over -Beat during his short time as a Reaper inThe World Ends with You had large rough-shaped wings, while the newest Officer Higashizawa had puny wings. High-ranking Officer Sho Minamimoto's wings were normally invisible, but he could grow six massive wings when transforming into his Noise formLeo Cantus.

Reaper wings have been depicted from being almost flightless to fully capable of flight across the series. The only instances of Reapers flying inThe World Ends with You areReaper Beat andUzuki when fought as enemies, and they both only fly a short distance off the ground. Reapers can fly inThe Animation: best shown inTurf andRhyme and Beat, where Minamimoto is shown taking off into the air without any preparation.
