- "I mean, what's not to love!? What's with the face, Rindude? You know it's a cool name. Just picture us - a massive tornado, tearing everything to shreds! ...I mean, if you've got a better idea, I'm all ears."

Story[]
NEO: The World Ends with You[]
Week 1, Day 1[]
Fret created the Wicked Twisters using the RNS on his and Rindo's first day in the Reapers' Game. He selects Rindo as the leader as he was the only person in his contacts, and used the default name "Rindo's Group" when he got tired of typing. Susukichi appears after its created and berates them for making an amateur team instead of teaming up with a pro.
When Rindo and Fret solve the skulls riddle on Day 1, Shiba makes a broadcast about a team solving the day's objective and encourages the teams. He calls them a dark horse and squints at the name "Rindo's Group" - him and Fret both make jabs at Rindo for being egotistical. Fret reveals to Rindo that he created the team thinking it was a groupchat and called them "Rindo's Group" - Rindo tells them that if they're going to play the Game, they should come up with a better name.
On their way to Shibuya Hikarie, Fret starts scanning and accidentally overwhelms them into a fight with Noise. Sho Minamimoto rescues them from the Noise and forces his way into the team. After they defeat the boss, Minamimoto leaves. Shoka appears and congratulates them for defeating the boss, but asks if they've considered changing the team's name to "something less stupid".
Week 1, Day 2[]
Kubo comes to see Rindo and Fret due to the uproar about the new team. He mocks them for only having two members, but Minamimoto appears after he leaves. They look for the graffiti and learn how to finish the mission - roar and beat their chests in front of 104 Building. Making their way there, a Shiba broadcast notifies the Players that one team has already finished the mission and specifically mentions the Wicked Twisters for changing their name. Fret admits he changed the name without telling Rindo because he knew the image of a tornado tearing the competition to shreds was cool - Rindo thinks its cringey, but goes along with it.
