Anyone notice their hair colour is different? Neku's hair colour is usually orange (on the right) but the one on the left has blondish hair. Wonder why that could be (maybe he dyed it which makes sense since it looks like he's in hiding).

 

[KudoTsurugi]

I’m going to guess it’s highlighted and the rest of his hair is the same colour. If he is in hiding, he’s likely going to keep that hood up for the majority of the game until the final act

Neku’s hair was already dyed so either he’s using a new dye or he isn’t Neku/Neku like we remember him lol

Or maybe we're led to believe it's Neku when it's someone else

I mean, it could absolutely be somebody else. The hand over the ears thing makes me think it is Neku, though.

3 years is a long time and who knows what Coco did to him.

Now that you say that, yeah looking at him it sure feels like Neku. One thing to note though, in the trailer at the last seconds if you pause it and go frame by frame, he has the same hair colour as Rindo

Wait for the Neo:TWEWY Ultimania where Nomura will say "it's not Neku (written with kanji), but Neku (written with katakana)", confusing us even more. Just like the Shibuyas in the KH3 Ultimania.

Neku wasn't written with Kanji to begin with lol

I know, it's just a bad a joke.

This was hilarious lmao

I wouldn't put it past them to pull this kind of stunt just to troll us xD

Neku’s hair was already dyed so either he’s using a new dye or he isn’t Neku/Neku like we remember him lol

Was it dyed originally? I always thought the orange was natural. I mean if Ichigo can roll with it as a natural hair colour, I don’t see why Neku can’t

Though I can see him dyeing it to lay low at least. Who knows what’s going on with Neku. Given what happened in A New Day, I get the feeling he’ll either have it out for Coco, or is stuck as her pawn and trying to get free.

Can't wait for people to misinterpret it as "Nomura confirmed that it's not Neku" just like how people saw the Shibuya quote as confirming they were seperate despite Katakana Shibuya being obviously written the same way as TWEWY Shibuya

To be fair, if you only have the translations to go off of the Shibuya statement was really confusing.

Yeah, that's fair.
