Dive (ダイブ Daibu) is a game mechanic in NEO: The World Ends with You. It is Nagi's unique psychic power brought out by her Reaper Pin. In gameplay, the player has to erase the Noise within people's minds to bring them back to their senses, similar to Negative Noise from The World Ends with You.
Using Dive will initiate a special Noise battle. This battle will usually have at least 3 Reductions, and will have an overall time limit to complete. In addition, Noise can have special emotion-based powers as listed below.
Dive battles can be retried as normal. They do not drop Pins, but defeating a Dive battle will award Friendship Points based on how quickly the battle was completed.
Dive battles on Easy difficulty cannot award higher than the Bronze ranking. Dive battles on Normal difficulty can award any ranking. There is no bonus or benefit to doing Dive battles on Hard or Ultimate difficulty, so reducing difficulty to Normal before any Dive battle is optimal.
| Icon | Emotion | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Fiery Rage | Increased Damage | |
| Rainy Somber | HP Drain
| |
| Serene Bliss | Healthy Erasure
Defeating these Noise will restore your Team HP | |
| Chaotic Fear | Big Noise
|
Usually, only one type of emotion noise will appear in each Reduction, with the graphical tint and musical theme indicating which it is.

Trivia[]
- In Nagi's sprite for Diving, the words on her shirtdress change to お邪魔します (ojyamashimasu), a Japanese expression said when entering someone else's space. Nagi's catchphrase when Diving in the English version, "Pardon the intrusion!" is a translation of it.
