A short cutscene with Neku taking his headphones off as the game title changes to "The World Begins with You." Collecting all the Reaper Reports and beating the final boss again gives you a short cutscene with Hanekoma and Joshua after that.

It’s stated that Beat has a bad relationship with his parents but not to the level of abuse.

The Game Master of Week 3 is stalking Beat in his shadow the entire time without him realising it. Also, Neku calls Shiki by the nickname “Stalker” because she’s following him around because of how pacts work, even though Neku doesn’t want her too, despite the fact she would die if she didn’t.

(SPOILERS) Neku was gaslighted by Joshua the entire game, was murdered by him, had his memories removed and changed by him and forced to participate in the game because of him, all without his knowledge until the very end of the game, all for the sake of a bet between Joshua and the head reaper. During the final confrontation, Neku feels so overwhelmed and betrayed that he’s visibly crying.

One instance is dubious - an animal-like character is grabbed, squirms in distress, and then is crushed (although this is not graphic or bloody.) This character does not die and is not technically harmed, but the scene may be shocking to those with sensitivity to small animal death/injury/mistreatment.

All of the main characters, who are teenagers roughly 14-16, are dead, with the story taking place in a limbo afterlife of sorts. Neku’s death is shown in a flashback, showing that he was shot in the head by a gun (no blood).

Joshua seemingly at the end of week 2, but it’s later revealed that he was in no actual danger and he was well aware of that. Neku throws the final fight under the assumption that it will result in his death, although it doesn’t.

A toy belonging to a boy is destroyed/jammed in part of the plot in order to win a tournament. He is not aware of why or how it breaks and the plot does not focus on this extensively.

Shiki is held hostage as Neku’s entry fee for Week’s 2 and 3 under the threat that If he fails to win, she gets wiped from existence with him. She is released near the end of the game.

I mean, technically the characters are all ghosts, but their appearance are not ghostlike and just look like regular people. Aside from being invisible to people who are alive, they don’t talk, act or do anything ghosts do either.

Shiki hates her own physical appearance so much to the point that she wishes to resemble her best friend while participating in the game. Her actual physical appearance is never actually shown, only a silhouette in a phone image and during the final cutscene.

The base game ending Is very vague, but not sad. However the new day continuation ends on a cliffhanger ending with Neku dying again, a villain escaping and another villain being revived.

See “Is Someone hit by a car” question. It’s also mentioned that Shiki’s death was caused by some kind of accident but it’s never made clear if it was a car accident or something else.

Neku was killed by being shot with a gun. No blood or gore. There’s also a brief gunfight between two villains near the end of the game, however neither of them succeed in hitting the other.
