Recap / The World Ends With You Espoir De Vie Day 4

Go To

After seemingly cleared a cruel mission to resurrect back to life again, Augustine finds himself in a mysterious boutique owned by a famous fashion designer. There, he learns that the Game isn't over for him yet and there is more to this Lumiose City he's in than it seems.


This arc provides examples of:

  • Bait-and-Switch: The Day starts with Augustine waking up inside a boutique with an employee notices him and his appearance revert to his normal age, seemingly back in the living world. But then, he sees Lysandre and the Players and his phone showing the words, "4 DAYS LEFT"...
  • The Cameo: As part of the author's tribute to her recent participation in The Reaper's Game Discord RP, Yuri Ichiro (the author's OC in the Discord RP) and Tamago "Tam" Suyaki (Yuri's partner with the player behind the OC gave permission) cameo as RG kids who told Augustine and Lysandre about the commercial launch event, which is related to their mission.
  • Mr. Exposition: Cadenza spends half of Part 2 explaining about the Underground, Reapers, and the Reapers' Game itself.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: After realizing that he erased Lysandre to get out of the Game early and stop his alledged plans to destroy the world, Augustine breaks down in this state, horrified at his terrible actions against his partner. Thankfully, he learns after seeing Lysandre alive that his friends stop him from erasing him beforehand.
  • Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Motif delivers this as his last warning to him after tearing Dezz down for his actions.
    "DON'T. MESS. WITH. SYCAMORE. EVER. AGAIN!"
  • Once More, with Clarity: The last scene of Day 3 is replayed, this time in Hayate and Leo's Pacts' perspective where they quickly intervene in Augustine's erasure attempt on Lysandre with the help of Cadenza.
  • Shout-Out:
  • That Man Is Dead: Lysandre adamantly declares this to his identity as a Team Flare leader, intending to atone for his sins and to turn himself to the police once he and Augustine return to the RG.
  • The Reveal: It reveals shortly that Lysandre actually played the Reapers' Game for three weeks after the events of X and Y's Team Flare plot and he joined this week as his fourth, explaining his vast knowledge about the Game. It also reveals that Lysandre has already become The Atoner and Augustine was his best friend.
  • Tranquil Fury: While Motif is the calmest out of the two during their confrontation against Dezz after yesterday, he is also enraged at his antics almost broke the rules if Cadenza and the other Players didn't intervene.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: His allied players quickly call Augustine out for being tricked into erasing his own Partner. Cadenza also does the same at the harsher level, adding Lysandre in the mix who didn't share anything about himself out of fear, thus instigating Augustine's suspicions in the first place.
