Fan Casting The World Ends With You (American Live Action Adaptation)

The story follows Nick Sanders over the course of the three weeks that he plays the Game, paired with partners Shannon Merrick, Joshua Kane, and Dixon "Beat" Barrett for each week, respectively. Nick is confused at first, lacking knowledge of how he died or how he arrived at the UG. As he develops friendships with his partners, he starts to understand the rules of the Game. After the first week, only Shannon is allowed to return to the living, and she promises to meet Nick at the statue of Hachiko. He also recovers his entry fee, which was his memories, except for the events leading up to his death. However, Shannon has become what Nick values most, and she is used as his new entry fee for the second week; in addition, Beat defects to the Reapers hoping to find a way to revive Rebecca "Rhyme" Barrett after she sacrifices herself to save him. During the second week Nick recalls small details of his death; eventually, he recognizes that he was shot at by Sean Matthews, one of the Reapers he faced during the Game. At the end of the second week, Joshua seemingly sacrifices himself to save Nick from an explosion created by Sean.
