Noiz Routes Plot Summary

It starts with Aoba on the phone with someone where he explains that he works selling spare parts at a shop called hum drum junk and that customers are always infatuated with his voice over the phone so he starts using that to sell parts by pretending to flirt with customers and then just getting them to buy expensive parts. His allmate Ren is introduced, he’s an older model shaped like a small blue dog with blue fur. He also introduces his coil which is basically like a phone it’s just a wrist watch. Aoba lives with his grandmother, Tae (important fact). He lives on an island called Midorimjima which was overrun by a man named Toue and his resort that he runs called platinum jail. Aoba and his grandmother were given a chance to leave but they didn’t because it’s where they always lived and also because Tae wanted to keep an eye on Toue. So now they live in the old residential district which is kind of run down and he explains that the police and yakuza are all sleeping together and pretty much the same thing witch then he introduces his friend kind of Akushima who is a paranoid like conspiracy theorist of a cop but he’s nice to Aoba so that’s cool. He introduces his old friends Virus and Trip who are yakuza. He also introduces Rhyme which is an online video game existing only in Midorijima and it’s a fighting game that incorporates allmate kind of like pokemon and it’s run by Toue’s allmate Usui who makes sure everything is fair and also that no one gets hurt but you can play games without the Usui where people can die. Aoba doesn’t play Rhyme. He also explains Rib which is a group of gangs in the Midorima area and they have fights as far as I can tell (tbh i dont understand Rib very well) and people who in Rib are called Ribstees some of them are nice some of them mug children (like bug bomb(they make fun of young Aoba for looking like a girl)) Then there is Morphine which is a gang who is working for the government. Rhyme also has gangs like Noiz’s team Ruff rabbits. Aoba’s childhood friend Koujaku is in the Rib team Ben Shigure and his friend Mizuki formed the biggest Rib team called Dry juice. Aoba goes to see Mizuki and he talks about getting a tattoo from an artist he really admires and also how people from Dry Juice have been going missing. He also is bad at locking the door.

Then he’s talking to Koujaku on his balcony and Koujaku is smoking and he’s like you know I don’t really like smoking but it’s good guys also also tells Aoba to keep an eye on Mizuki

He goes to work and has to deliver a part to someone because they live in Midorijima also. Aoba ends up getting sucked into a Rhyme battle which is called getting ganked and I don’t know why. Either way the person is wearing a rabbit head and starts attacking him and he starts losing because he doesn’t know how to fight back and keeps defending but then he blacks out and is not dead. He locks in and gets home and Virus and Trip find him also. On the way back Aoba starts getting messages asking for help and he refuses to click on them because he thinks they are spam. Then Ren is like ok man, maybe this guy needs help and so he opens one and it’s a gameplay footage that is like a rpg style and it shows him a path into Platinum Jail. He also gets another one that is an old woman getting kidnapped so he starts being afraid of his grandmother getting kidnapped. So then when he’s at work one time he gets a call from Yoshida and she is like oh god Aoba something happened to your grandmother and then he goes there all panicked and then she’s fine and she just threw out her back and so Aoba carries her home and is like pretty please go to the hospital and is also like she’s so thin oh no my grandmother is gonna die but then she kicks him so like it’s chill he knows she’s good.

Aoba is walking home and then a guy wearing a gas mask and a white trench coat and silly gloves, that guy is Clear and he jumped off of a building to meet Aoba and he keeps calling Aoba master and then Aoba kicks him and makes him go away

Ok then another time he comes home from work and all the lights are off and he’s like oh noooooooo oh nooooo Tae got kidnapped but then he checks in her room and she’s asleep and it’s ok chill and his headaches have been getting worse. But then he goes upstairs and there's a guy in his room and that guy is Noiz. Noiz is trying to steal his data because he says he wants to know how he beat him at Rhyme but he doesn’t remember beating Noiz at Rhyme ever. Then Koujaku sees Noiz in Aoba's room and thinks he’s attacking him which tbh he kind of is so it’s justified and they are about to have a battle over Aoba but they they hear sounds on the room and it’s Clear so now Clear is there also. But they were being too loud so Tae makes them all come downstairs and they eat doughnuts. We get a hint to everyone's stereotypes when they eat doughnuts, like how Noiz is a tsundere and refuses to admit he likes sweet things, Koujaku is his childhood friend and has had tae’s doughnuts a lot, and Clear is a robot with mind control powers when he teleports the doughnut under his gas mask. Either way they are sent home but now at least Aoba knows most of the main guys.

Ok then another day Aoba is at work and Noiz walks in and is like hey man Rhyme is coming to you right freak now bro and then kisses Aoba and Noiz is like no man it’s chill I do that with all my friends and then Aoba was like ok chill whatevs as long as it’s not gay. He goes to see the Usui and talks to Virus and Trip again.

Ok next day Aoba comes home looking for his grandmother and all the lights are off and he’s figured out that his grandmother has been kidnapped. so he wants to set out to go find her

Ok then Aoba goes to this club where they use Photonarcotics which is a fictional drug which works through music and light pulsing which makes Aoba pass out and then Mink kidnaps him.

Aoba wakes up to meet Mink who is an awful person who threatens to rape him (I HATE MINK DUDE I DON’T CARE ABOUT HIS ROUTE IN RE: CONNECT I HATE MINK). Ok and then Aoba stays in Minks stronghold for a bit and eventually convinces him to help go find his grandmother. (I don’t remember a lot of what happens there I need to lock in again and rewatch the route) They go to Aoba's basement and make a plan Koujaku and Noiz have more evil yaoi together. They go break into the Morphine stronghold based on what happens in the rpg game that Aoba got sent. They fight a lot of Dry Juice members who aren’t acting like themselves and have white rolled back eyes and so they have to fight them all.

Aoba and co go outside and they find Tae and a possessed Mizuki. Mizuki threatens to kill Tae unless Aoba joins Morphine and Aoba refuses then right as Mizuki is about to slit Tae’s throat Aoba is sucked into his mind and he’s at the alleyway where there used to be a Dry Juice tag and it’s changed to a Morphine tag and then farther down the alleyway he sees Mizuki but like regular unpossessed Mizuki. Mizuki tells Aoba about how he only agreed to join with Morphine because he felt like Dry Juice was dying out and he was afraid because of how much Dry Juice meant to him. Then Aoba sees Mizuki's flashback to another Morphine facility where they were chaining up Mizuki and were like all your Dry Juice guys are possessed and now you will be too >:]. Then Aoba is like what did they do to you and Mizuki starts screaming and covering his ears and then Aoba is forced out of his mind and Mizuki (real life Mizuki) is in a coma but Tae is saved and they take Mizuki to the hospital.

Now the whole gang (Aoba, Noiz, Mink, Koujaku, Clear, and Tae) is at Aoba’s house and Tae explains Aoba’s mind control powers to him (called scrap) and how he was made by Toue. Then she talks about how what happened to Dry Juice was probably Toue testing his mind control powers and that he’s gonna mind control everyone on the island at the huge anniversary celebration Toue is holding in like a few days.

Then Akushima, previously nice guy, starts using his megaphones to be like hey guys you are terrorists so he’s mind controlled and they are like oh no so Aoba and Noiz run away and follow the map he got from the RPG game. He also got a message with and invitation to Platinum jail from Toue and they plan to go so that they can break into Oval Tower (which is at the center of the Platinum Jail). SO they go to Platinum Jail and get in. They rest for a few days where they stay at The Glitter (AKA the yaoi hotel(this hotel room thing is so funny please read my page on it.)) So either way they stayed there and then Noiz left to go get food and they have a #emotional yaoi moment where Noiz buys every item of food from the stalls available and then Aoba tells him all the food names and he learns that Noiz really only wants to eat pizza and pasta cause he’s based and that he loves Rhyme and does it as his job. Then they go back to The Glitter and Aoba goes to sleep and Noiz is around being sneaky. When Aoba wakes up Noiz is messing with Ren and he’s like hey man don’t do that and Noiz is like no it's chill I'm just trying to get info on if you modded your allmate for #rhyme purposes. But when Noiz looks up he cuts his hand and Aoba is like dang let me help you and then Noiz is like no fuck you I hate being touched and then Aoba is like no,,,,, we must wash it so he starts cleaning it and he figures out that Noiz can't feel pain.

Then Aoba apologizes to Noiz and Noiz is like man let's get freaky and then he kisses him and Aoba is like I’m not gay but like his tongue piercing though and then they get extra 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 so then Noiz is like hey man bite my dick and Aobas like sure as long as it makes you happy but then they go back downstairs are people are yelling at them for being terrorists again and so then they will be like ok guys let's lock in and go to Oval Tower actually. So then they go there and it starts locking down cause Noiz’s hacking is unsuccessful and there are these robot dogs that shoot lasers and so Aoba gets burnt protecting Noiz and they hide away in a hallway file cabinet door thin and they are so freaking cute in this scene it almost makes me forget how ableist Aoba is and then Noiz tells Aoba about how his parents kept him locked away from everyone and then Noiz goes out to go get Aoba burn medicine and he leaves Aoba with one of his Usagimodoki so he can find Noiz and then he leaves. Then like Noize hadn’t come back and it had been like thirty minutes and then the facility was like the doors are shutting down so Aoba is like ok I gotta go find Noiz so her has the Usagimodoki cube bring him to Noiz but then Noiz is possessed by Toue and Toue is there also and he’s like mwahahaha I’m an evil guy I’m gonna get you and all of your friends.

Then Aoba goes into Noizes mind using scrap and he is in the dark room that Noiz grew up in and Noiz is chained to the floor and to help Noiz Aoba has to walk through this gauntlet of waving hands which makes his hands and fingers break while he walks through it and it's so freaking sick.

If the scrap session is successful (good ending)

So then Aoba uses scrap on Noiz and succeeds leading him out of the room in his mind making him able to feel pain and neurotypical, because Aoba is ableist (it’s not canon that he’s autistic but everytime he says anything I’m like this has to be on purpose right and his like whole personality changes after Aoba uses scrap on him). Then they flee Oval Tower which is now self-destructing and Noiz gets hurt protecting Aoba and he can feel it now and it’s like a big moment and then he carries Aoba out of the building and it’s all good. Then Noiz is in the hospital for a bit, then just when he’s about to be released they fuck in the hospital room because this is a yaoi game remember. Then once Noiz is released they have a Rhyme battle and Aoba (not Sly Blue) wins. So then Noiz runs away to Germany to reconnect with his brother Theo and he gets a portion of his parents company, puts on a suit, takes out his piercings and comes back to Midorima three months later to be like hey Aoba come move with me to Germany and Aoba is reluctant cause of Tae but then he’s like ok and everyone is happy forever we don’t know what happens to Mizuki in this route.

If the scrap session is unsucsessful (bad ending)

You go through a bunch of ask questions and they will be like do you want to end it all and go to a better life and stuff and it gives you no option but to say yes you want to give up so then Aoba is trapped with Noiz in this room where everything is like bloody and everytime they touch anything their skin like breaks open and starts bleeding and Aoba is like ouch cause he feels pain regular and Noiz is like ouch 🫦 cause you know. And they are stuck together and are yaoi in the evil blood mind room forever (just you wait for re: connect though)

Some of the peak yaoi that happens in these routes
