** Reaper Beat isn't that hard when you face him as a BonusBoss, (and a good source of drops), so it's possible that story-wise, Neku had problems with fighting Beat (who isn't quite a friend yet to Neku, but since Neku is opening up to people, it's difficult to fight someone like Beat). As for Uzuki and Kariya, their fight [[ThatOneBoss isn't exactly easy]], but there are a few possible reasons why Neku and Beat win; 1) Neku's presumably stronger after surviving for over two weeks, and has Beat on his side (during the fights with him, Joshua was holding back), and 2) Neku and Beat are trying harder than ever, not only knowing that all the players, Shiki and Rhyme are on the line, and they won't have another chance.

** What about Hanekoma's line "* sigh* Some folks just don't take no for an answer"? Is he merely muttering that Joshua can't outright admit that he was going to literally KillEmAll, and is feeling regretful?

to:

** It's a minor plot point in the sequel. It's indeed too crowded to notice unless you're deliberately tracking a Player, and even then most people just brush it off, which [[spoiler: allows some Players to shoplift, although in this case the vendor actually notices the weirdness, because he needs to pay attention]].



*** Answer from the sequel: [[spoiler:nothing but their own conscience]].




to:

** Sequel says that they indeed can switch cities, though there may be some administrative complications.




to:

** Officers can go to the RG at will. Most have a mundane life there. Angels have access to more planes, and manage coffee shops.




to:

*** Sequel confirms that it's indeed an [=MP3=] player.




to:

** It would become RetGone, with the only people remembering it being the ones not in RG during the erasure (though we would wipe his UG too), if Shinjuku is any indication.

** Quick and painful death during the first encounter with the Noise.

*** Probably not much aside from the fact that befriending the shopkeepers gives you certain abilities. Knowing who the composer is, it's pretty easy to assume that, even if he considered the possibility at all or had this problem pointed out to him, he probably wouldn't have cared that much.

** Here's a better question: What's preventing Players from shoplifting aside from morality? Even if there are alarms that go off, you're home free as soon as you walk out the door.




to:

** First of all, thanks to ''NEO'', there now '''is''' [[https://twewy.fandom.com/wiki/Shiki_Misaki official artwork]] of Shiki's real face. Secondly, Joshua's handwave explains why her appearance doesn't change in Another Day, but not the ending of either of the game or the anime. Unless WordOfGod says otherwise, I'd just chalk it up to some pretentious BS like the briefcase from ''Pulp Fiction''.

** Some school textbooks list it up to 10+ digits just for the sake of it, and some middle-schoolers (Neku is 15, right?) are really good at remembering random bits of trivia, especially the smart ones (see above) or autistic ones (he shows some subtle signs).
