A team of Players in the new Reapers' Game, and the protagonists of the game.
- Rindo Kanade (VA: Yūma Uchida (JP), Paul Castro Jr. (EN))- A high school student who prefers texting instead of face-to-face communication, and the de facto leader of the Wicked Twisters.

- Tosai "Fret" Furesawa (VA: Chiharu Sawashiro (JP), Griffin Burns (EN)) - Rindo's good friend and classmate who is really outgoing and curious, and a great conversationalist, although he subconsciously tries to avoid heavy and serious subjects.

- Nagi Usui (VA: Mina Katahira (JP), Miranda Parkin (EN)) - A college student who is often mistaken for a middle schooler because of her younger appearance. She loves video games, anime, manga and other otaku interests. She can sense feelings from others, and has disdain for those who are superficial and disingenuous. Despite this, she has difficulties assimilating into social environments.
- Sho Minamimoto (VA: Andy Hirsch (EN), Takayuki Fujimoto (JP)) - A former Reaper, Minamimoto acts as a Player as opposed to his role in the first game. He frequently makes use of math puns and idioms, and his psych powers impress Rindo and Fret who are glad to have him on their team.

- Tsugumi Matsunae (VA: Yuka Ozaki (JP), Ciara Riley Wilson (EN)) - A mysterious girl who has powerful psych abilities. She holds a Mr. Mew plush with her. She made her first appearance at the end of both The World Ends with You Solo Remix and Final Remix as a lead in to this game.

- Fuya Kawahara (VA: Yoshiki Nakajima (JP), Adam Gold (EN)) - The leader of the Deep Rivers Society, he relies on a “flight-over-fight” approach when dealing with conflicts during the Reapers' Game. His cowardice has actually proven useful and has helped him and his team from dropping out so far.

- Katsuhiko Tanimaru - A member of the DRS who has a red plaid shirt and glasses. He goes to the same college as Nagi Usui. When he operates alone in the Reapers' Game, he secretly likes to quiz other Players.

A group of super stylists with a passion for fashion.
- Kanon Tachibana (VA: Sumire Uesaka (JP), Xanthe Huynh (EN)) - The leader of the Variabeauties, she has a lot of charisma, but also has cunning wisdom, and is a skilled negotiator, helping her make up for her not-so-strong psych abilities.

Purehearts[]
Motoi Anazawa
- Main article: Purehearts
A group of savvy social media influencers who use positive thinking and social media influencing as weapons.
- Motoi Anazawa (VA: Wataru Komada (JP), Nick Thurston (EN)) - The leader of the Purehearts, his winning smile and poetic platitudes give off good vibes only, even though his superficiality and frequent use of “fancy” words can rub some people the wrong way.
- Sumio Tanaka - He is Motoi's right hand man. He was once an inarticulate business man who reinvented himself as an intellectual in the UG.
Reapers[]

The main Shinjuku Reapers (left to right): Ayano Kamachi, Shoka Sakurane, Tanzo Kubo, Shiba Miyakaze, Hishima Sakazuki, Kaie Ono.

A group of Reapers from Shinjuku who came to Shibuya to oversee the Reapers' Game.
- Shiba Miyakaze (VA: Daiki Hamano (JP), Shaun Conde (EN)) - The Game Master in the new Reapers' Game. Because of his talented skills, he currently ranks number one among the Reapers in the Shibuya UG, having worked his way to the top within a year of his arrival. He encourages its Players to keep things hot by creating intense Reapers' Games. His psychic powers far surpass those of his fellow Reapers, ensuring that none dare disobey him.
- Tanzo Kubo (VA: Taisuke Nakano (JP), Xander Mobus (EN)) - One of the elite Shinjuku Reapers, his role is monitoring work, and he is in charge of handling details such as certification of the Players' defeats.
- Ayano Kamachi (VA: Sakura Ayane (JP), Erin Yvette (EN)) - One of the elite Shinjuku Reapers, She is highly capable and trusted by her leader, Shiba.

- Hishima Sakazuki (VA: Shunsuke Takeuchi (JP), James Austin Kerr (EN)) - One of the elite Shinjuku Reapers, he is not serious about the Reapers' Game and rarely participates in its management, claiming his heart is not really in it. He is intelligent, but also cynical, sarcastic and stubborn. Somewhat of an odd Reaper out, he’s a man of mystery: even his comrades can't discern whether he has some sort of ulterior motive.
- Shoka Sakurane (VA: Akari Kito (JP), Bailey Gambertoglio (EN)) - A low-ranking Reaper who acts as a guide for new Players, dressed in a Mr. Mew hoodie. Having grown bored of the Reapers' Game in its current state, she not-so-secretly hopes someone will come along and shake things up. She acts fairly rude and condescending towards Rindo and Fret, as well as new Players slow to learn the rules.
