About this sound

Joshua Kiryu's voice line 'How could you, Neku?' from The World Ends With You. Used in betrayal memes, edits, and clips about being let down by a friend.

This is a short voice clip of Joshua Kiryu from The World Ends With You delivering the line 'How could you, Neku?' in a wounded, accusing tone. The delivery is quiet and personal rather than shouted, carrying a mix of disappointment and disbelief that makes it land harder than a scream. Lasting under two seconds, the line captures the tense, emotional dynamic between Joshua and Neku that defines much of the game's story. Its intimacy makes it perfect for edits where the humor or drama comes from a small, pointed moment of betrayal.

Pro tip

Drop it right on the frame where the betrayal is revealed, not before, so the accusation lands on the visual punchline. Keep the game audio clean underneath it, avoid stacking it over loud music, and let the final word hang for a beat before cutting.

How people use it

Pov edits where a friend cancels plans last minute.
Gaming clips capturing a teammate's sudden betrayal moment.

Clipped from gameplay and shared on soundboards, the two-second line now circulates as a compact reaction for betrayal jokes, dramatic edits, and fandom tributes rather than a direct story spoiler.
