Little Busters! Walkthrough

Game structure The original version of Little Busters! consists of a common route, six character routes and a final route named Refrain. The choices you'll make during common route will decide which character's route the game will lead to. The six characters routes are: Komari, Rin, Haruka, Kud, Kurugaya and Mio. You can play them in any order you want, with the exception of Rin's route: Rin's route is split into two parts, Rin1 and Rin2. Rin2 will become available after you've completed the five other character routes and Rin1. Refrain will become available after you've completed Rin2. With the exception of Komari and Rin1, after you've completed a character's route, that route will be unavailable until you've completed Refrain.

How this walkthrough works This guide lists the choices that give the most scenes for the character in question. You can consider everything that isn't listed or bolded as choices that are up to you. You can get along with everyone or ignore everything except the required choices. Feel free to experiment! Explanations on marks: Choice *** Required choice to complete the character's route. Choice *** Required choice that only appears if you met the criteria for another route. No worries if it doesn't. Choice *** Required choice that will get locked after you've completed the character's route. Available again after Refrain. Choice Choice Required choice for the route's hscene(s). Currently only listed in the EX/ME routes section. Leads to a long bad end scene you might want to check, but make sure to save your game before!

Routes
Date Choice

Komari Kamikita
CV: Natsumi Yanase Scenario: Yto Tonokawa Art: Itaru Hinoue

CHOOSE YOUR DONUT

During 5/20, Komari will ask Riki which kind of donut he'd like to have. Each answer to this choice leads to a new CG being shown on 5/24. To be able to see the scene, you have to take "Go to the rooftop" on 5/17.

SCENES WITH KURUGAYA

Some scenes with Kurugaya can be seen in Komari's route, but only if you haven't completed Kurugaya's route yet or have completed Refrain.

NEW SCENE AFTER REFRAIN

A new optional scene with Komari is unlocked and can be viewed on 5/21 after Refrain is completed.
What repercussions could there be to answering a girl asking which kinds of sweets you'd like to have?

KUD ROOMMATE CHOICE

Though listed as one option, Komari can't be Kud's roommate, and the choice doesn't affect her route.

5/17 Go to the rooftop *** 5/18 Go buy juice Take on the task 5/21 Komari 5/22 Go back to the classroom (CG) 5/23 Quit *** Go to the rooftop *** Get something to drink Talk to her 5/24 Go and get something to drink Help her out Komari 5/27 You should probably go on a sunny day *** 5/28 Go to the rooftop *** Leave her alone Face reality head on Pretend not to notice anything

Rin Natsume
CV: Tomoe Tamiyasu Scenario: Jun Maeda Art: NaGa

RIN'S STATS & STORY BATTLES

Rin battles against various enemies in common route. To increase her stats, you can play batting practices and trade her useful accessories. Also, each time you complete a character's route, Rin will start off with higher initial stats on the following playthroughs.

RIN1, RIN2 & GAME PROGRESSION

Rin's route is divided into two halves, Rin1 and Rin2. Rin1 can be done whenever, but isn't counted as an actual route and doesn't have credits. Rin2 can only be entered after Rin1 and the five other character routes are done. Clearing Rin2 will unlock Refrain, the final route.

On the first playthroughs, even the starting battles may be too hard for Rin to handle. There'll be plenty of time for revenge later!

KUD ROOMMATE CHOICE

Though listed as a possible choice, Rin can't become Kud's roommate. The other possible roommates don't have any effect on Rin's route.

5/14 Watch for a while (CG) 5/15 Go look for her *** Watch for a while (CG) 5/16 Follow after Rin *** Watch for a while 5/17 Run after Rin *** Watch for a while 5/19 Look for Rin *** Watch for a while 5/21 Rin 5/22 Go to the cafeteria Go (CG available after Rin1) 5/23 Watch for a while Keep helping her out *** 5/24 Look for the cat Rin 5/25 Consult Rin Cheer her on *** Go *** (Rin2) Become stronger *** (Rin2)
Date Choice

Haruka Saigusa
CV: Keiko Suzuki Scenario: Chika Shirokiri Art: Itaru Hinoue

EXTRA SCENES IN HARUKA'S ROUTE

Haruka's route has numerous extra scenes if Futaki is chosen as Kud's roommate on 5/18. You can choose Futaki by suggesting Rin, Komari or Kurugaya, or by choosing "Keep searching" when Kud asks you again. There are also two different extra scenes in the bad end you can see by choosing "Give up". If you aren't locked out of Kurugaya's route, you'll see a scene with her and Futaki. If you are, you can see a Kud and Futaki talking if you aren't locked out of Kud's route. After Refrain is completed, the scene with Kurugaya and Futaki will always be the one that'll be selected, making the scene with Kud and Futaki inaccessible.

HELPING OUT WITH CLUB ACTIVITIES

There's a scene on 5/19 where Riki can help Haruka with replacing some furniture. If you've been helping Rin with her tasks, she and Riki will go assist Haruka by default. If you haven't, take these two choices: 5/19 Go out 5/19 Give her a hand

UNIQUE SPRITE IN BAD END

The bad end scene which can be viewed by choosing "Heard it from Futakisan" has a sprite of Haruka that isn't seen anywhere else in the game.

REDEFINING MODERN ART

Selecting "Don't go to the rooftop" on 5/17 results in a scene on 5/24 that reveals Haruka's creative side!

KUD ROOMMATE CHOICE

One of the scenes that can only be seen when Futaki is Kud's roommate. Could these two get along well?

Haruka can be Kud's roommate too, but it's a good idea to pick Futaki while doing Haruka's route so you can see all the extra scenes.

5/15 Lend it to her 5/16 Take it Get involved (CG) 5/17 Look for it Don't go to the rooftop 5/18 Go buy juice Take on the task 5/21 Haruka 5/22 Go to the cafeteria *** Harukasan *** 5/23 Quit *** Go to the cafeteria Help her 5/24 Look for the cat Haruka 5/27 You should probably go on a sunny day *** 5/28 Go to the cafeteria *** Ask what happened *** Head to the meeting room Ask for the truth *** Check it out *** Continue searching for Harukasan *** Saw it in the class register *** Heard it from Futakisan Yes *** I understand *** That's a good idea *** Accept her condition *** Don't give up *** Give up (CG)

KUD ROOMMATE CHOICE

On 5/18, Kud needs help with choosing a roommate. Haruka and Mio are possible picks, and Futaki can be chosen by suggesting Rin, Komari or Kurugaya, or by choosing "Keep searching" later. Each roommate has a few scenes during common route and Kud's route.

HIDDEN MINIROUTE & CG

After you've completed Rin1, you can see a hidden miniroute with a Kudrelated CG and some insight on Rin's fierce rival! Play to 5/28, making these choices: 5/15 Don't lend it out Let her be 5/16 Don't get involved too much 5/17 Don't go to the rooftop 5/18 Go to the cafeteria 5/21 Play with Masato 5/22 Go to the backyard 5/23 Get something to drink

MUSCLE SENSATION

Suggest all the characters in the playthroughs to see few fun scenes with their reactions of being asked!

It's possible to get in the Muscle Sensation miniroute while doing Kud's route. Save the game when you see the choices "Muscle" and "Physics", and load the game after you've witnessed the Muscle Sensation.

KUD ROOMMATE CHOICE

Though listed as a possible choice, Kurugaya won't risk Kud's chastity. The other possible roommates don't have any effect on her route.

Mio Nishizono
CV: Shiho Kawaragi Scenario: Leo Kashida Art: NaGa

POETRY TO RIVAL THAT OF SUTOKUIN'S

Mio's route offers the Little Busters members a great chance to put their creativity in poetry to test, with Riki choosing the members. Each member has several lines and the order they're chosen in matters too, so check what kind of crazy poems you can get!

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM SCIENCE

The evercalm Mio faces quite a challenge in trying to conquer the battle rankings, and her devoted parasol has woefully low offensive capabilities. Fortunately for her, completing her route unlocks some surreal friends and their weaponry for her disposal for the following playthroughs.

KUD ROOMMATE CHOICE

Masterpieces covering all exciting kinds of subjects, like fierce red bloomers, await those who dare try.

Mio can be Kud's roommate and the steps are listed in the walkthrough. The other possible roommates don't have any effect on her route.

Mask the Saito

Haryahoreumau Afearsomechallengerinvadesthebattlerankings!
Starting from your second playthrough, Riki's strength can be put to test as Mask the Saito will be available in the battle rankings. To earn a chance to fight against this wicked foe, you'll have to prove your worth in numerous battles. Should you manage to defeat Mask the Saito, you will gain tremendous power which will make the future battles a breeze, and there's also a new scene on 5/27 to be seen. Saito can be a difficult opponent even if Riki's stats are high so good luck! Conditions & Progress
You must have completed at least one character's route (Rin1 excluded). Riki has to be Rank 1 when Kurugaya joins the team on 5/18. Riki must advance to Rank 1 once more during or after 5/21. Saito will join the battle rankings as soon as Riki's reached Rank 1 again. Saito will advance in the rankings each time you wander and keep Riki Rank 1. When Saito's Rank 2 or 3, he will challenge Riki when you choose to wander.

Prepare yourself
Riki's stats increase as you complete characters' routes. Playing with Masato is a great way to get useful items for use or trade. The statups from participating in batting practice can help big time.

Accessory: "School Revolution" Watch

The "School Revolution" Watch is probably the single most powerful accessory against Mask the Saito, reducing all Saito's stats by 50. The "School Revolution" Watch will be available after Mask the Saito's first battle is finished and Saito advances higher in the battle rankings. The character who lost to Saito will have the "School Revolution" Watch. After that, when you choose to wander, you can trade for the item should you meet the character in question.
The Status window is handy for keeping track of the other team members' accessories.

Studentsindanger! Mysteriouslifeformsroamingtheschoolhallways!
Help Rin out
Rin's stats increase as you complete characters' routes. The statups from participating in batting practice are a must. Each time you see Rin have an item you can replace, wander & trade with her.

Kyousuke's influence reaches allnew heights as biomutated lifeforms begin to follow in his wake, much to the detriment of the school staff. Who better to face these savage creatures than the only girl of the childhood friends? It's showtime for Rin! The mission starts on 5/18's evening when you choose "Watch calmly". Rin will fight the lifeform several times: once on 5/18, once on 5/19 and twice on 5/20, the lifeform getting stronger each time. There's no real reward for defeating the lifeforms. Quick facts & Progress
There are three different lifeforms to be defeated throughout the game. When Rin wins the last battle on 5/20, the next lifeform will be unlocked. The next lifeform can be found on the next playthrough, at the same event. The first and second lifeforms can be defeated with even moderate stats. The third lifeform is one of the strongest enemies in the game. Prepare! The event will be over if Rin loses. Kengo or Masato will fight the lifeform.

Useful accessories
You can trade Rin at least two accessories, three with luck or persistence. Here are some good ones you should keep an eye out for: White Jacket Wrist Watch "Masterpiece Theater" Series DVDBOX "School Revolution" Volume 410 Masato Masato Kyousuke Kyousuke

Example setup: 2x White Jacket and 1x "Masterpiece Theater" Series DVDBOX.

Baseball match positions

I'll eventually create a full section for the baseball minigame, but for now, here's the recommended positions and batting order for the baseball match. The decisions are based on the data from http://bdkiss.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-532.html and http://bdkiss.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-533.html.

EX/ME routes
Even though the EX/ME routes are currently untranslated, you can still access them with our translation patch, but some extra effort is required. I can't find the choices for the new routes. What's wrong? Back when finishing original LB's full release, we ran into a problem where the new routes wouldn't unlock when the player finishes Refrain. The only way we would have got the function working would have been to use EX/ME's own files for either the entirety of Refrain or just its last script. Unfortunately, some triggers didn't carry over properly between the original version's and EX/ME's scripts, so we decided to just use original's. How do I access the routes? Currently the only way to unlock the new routes is through the question players are asked when starting EX/ME without there being any save data. Head over to your Little Busters! EX/ME installation directory and either rename, relocate or remove your SAVEDATA folder. The next time you start Little Busters EX/ME, you'll see a screen like the one below. Choose yes.

What about my saves? I don't want to lose my progress! Your saves and your game progress are gone unless you restore the SAVEDATA folder later. You can skip past story parts you're familiar with by holding down Left Ctrl. Eventually, when we'll have our first EX/ME route release, players will probably be able to unlock the new routes by replaying/skipping Refrain with the then-correct version of the Refrain script, but for now this is the only way.

Date

Choice

Sasami Sasasegawa
CV: Tomoe Tamiyasu Scenario: Yto Tonokawa Art: NaGa

Sasami's common route requirements change when Refrain's completed. Since the current EX release's Refrain completed detection is wonky, it's better to play it safe and take all the choices marked in yellow.
