Neku Sakuraba is a pretty fun character from The World Ends With You. He definitely has a lot of character and goes through a pretty solid arc in the game. He is able to master the art of most elemental attacks and can also use attacks like an energy sword. Axel is a strong combatant but he is severely outclassed in terms of attack options here. In terms of speed he may be a match for Neku, it would certainly be close at any rate but Neku also has cards to help him out there as well…or I should say Pins technically. Neku Sakuraba wins.
