The World Ends With You

The following is a list of all possible abilities from wearing threads. If an ability description starts with a character name, such as Neku: ATK +1, the ability only activates if the thread is equipped on that specific character.

The World Ends with You[]

Some thread abilities must be specifically worn by a partner for the effect to activate. These character restrictions are marked in the table below. If the cell is empty, it means the effect will activate regardless of who wears the thread. Some types of abilities only appeared in the DS or Remix versions respectively. In the Remix versions, all defense boosts are applied to Neku regardless of who is wearing the thread.
