Killer7 is a 2005 Action-Adventure game for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, and written and directed by Suda51 (with Resident Evil alum Shinji Mikami co-writing), that combines unusual gameplay mechanics and conspiratorial themes in a techno-thriller setting. In an alternate timeline 20 Minutes into the Future, worldwide peace has finally been achieved after a total ban on nuclear weapons and research.note and the Internet. And airplanes. The remaining warheads are fired into space, where they collide and destroy each other.However, this peace was not to last, for a group known as "Heaven Smile" soon appeared. Led by the enigmatic Kun Lan, this group of ambiguously human terrorists began to carry out a number of suicide bombings across the world, with no discernible purpose other than to create terror for the sake of terror.To combat this supernatural threat, the American government calls on the services of the Smith Syndicate, a.k.a. the Killer7. Led by the elderly and wheelchair-bound Harman Smith, a man who carries a history with Kun Lan, the Killer7 are a group of specialized assassins trained to deal with high-level threats to the stability of the United States of America. And with each mission completed, they slowly draw closer to the truth behind the Heaven Smiles and Kun Lan.While this plot summary appears clear and concise, it only scratches the surface of the story of Killer7. As the Smiths keep getting called in to deal with each new threat from Kun Lan, a deep conspiracy with ties to the origins of both Killer7 and the Heaven Smiles comes to light, and dozens of twists and turns follow.With that, we depart from the realm of sensibility. Killer7 can become an exceedingly confusing game, thanks to its multiple layers of metaphor and symbolism, its vignettes and non sequiturs, and its tacked-on plot threads that don't come together until the ending—and even then, you're likely to have more questions than answers. Themes of war, religion, personal conflict, and politics all weave into one gigantic Mind Screw, wrapping around each other like the bondage straps around Iwazaru.In contrast to the Mind Screw storyline, the developers uniquely streamlined the gameplay of Killer7: a character moves along a set of predetermined paths, so all a player can do is choose forks and turn around. When attacked, players hold down a button to switch into first-person view and aim crosshairs manually (similar to Resident Evil 4). The Heaven Smiles remain invisible until players use another button to scan for them; as they approach, players can see an obvious glowing spot upon them, and while shooting this spot results in their instant death, players will find it difficult to do so. Any enemy who gets in too close to the player will laugh at the player before exploding and causing damage. Death Is a Slap on the Wrist most of the time — as Garcian can retrieve the severed heads of the other Smiths and revive them — but if Garcian himself dies, the game ends. The Killer7 themselves are as follows: | |

"Get Back Here!" Boss | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_10f5b375 | comment |
"Get Back Here!" Boss: The Ceramic Smile screams and runs if you face it. Its weak spot, its heart, is only vulnerable from the front. You have to keep your back turned, then flip around at the last second and shoot it in the heart. Alternatively, you just turn around and quietly wait there with your gun out. The battle arena is circular, and the Ceramic Smile is an idiot, so it'll just come back 'round to you and skid to a halt while you shoot its weak point. | |

Enter Solution Here | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_164098bc | comment |
Enter Solution Here: One of the chapters requires the player to memorize the details of multiple billboards in order to solve the security code of a fake office building. In a later chapter, a ridiculously long slew of security questions requires the player to find at least half a dozen audio logs and listen through every last one of them. Fortunately, the game is linear by design, so it's very hard to miss the solution in both cases (and in the case of the latter, the clues the game intends for you to memorize are shown in text while the audio logs play). | |

Seemingly invoked by Hand in Killer7, a setting book which contradicts itself all over the place to represent how history can get muddled and rewritten over time. This is eventually lampshaded by Jaco, who mentions that nobody really knows what happened in the Smith Syndicate Incident, one of the most confusing points in the timeline. | |

Dead All Along: During the climax of the penultimate chapter, it is revealed that everybody in the Smith Syndicate died long ago. In fact, according to the supplementary material Dan, Con, Mask, Kaede, Coyote, and Kevin have each died THREE TIMES and Garcian has died at least once, possibly twice depending on who wins the Third World War and if you consider Loss of Identity to be an actual death. | |

Boss Battle | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_1e14ea2a | comment |
Boss Battle: Played with heavily. While the game has its fair share of traditional bosses, there's also bosses like Julia or Curtis which play by their own rules. Once you enter Alter Ego, relatively few boss fights are even fought by the player, if they're fought at all, and when they are, they tend to have foregone conclusions. | |

Revolvers Are Just Better: The revolvers Dan and Coyote use are significantly more powerful than the semi-automatic pistols used by KAEDE and Garcian. Halfway through the game Dan upgrades to the Demon Gun, a revolver with two barrels and twelve rounds in one huge cylinder◊. Finally, Greg Nightmare's Golden Gun is also a revolver, and it is capable of killing Heaven Smiles in one shot no matter where they're hit. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Harman only ever wears Jesuit priest clothes, Garcian a white suit, and Kevin nothing but sunglasses and chinos (although he does change the former, and wears a different belt in each mission). MASK changes his clothes exactly three times in the game, and in each case it's a plot point; on the other hand, before finding the blue mask, he wears a different mask in each level. In contrast, Dan, KAEDE, Coyote, and Con wear different clothes in each level, albeit always of the same style. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: MASK de Smith is the strongest character in the game, and his grenade launchers can one-hit kill almost any enemy (except for certain bosses), and he gets mask upgrades across the game that boost his power further and speed up his reloads, eventually to the point he doesn't need to reload. Unfortunately, his use of explosives means he can't hit weak points, so unless it's an enemy that none of the other Smiths can damage, like the Protector Smiles, his kills grant you little to no blood. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Garcian and Dan Smith, two experienced and hardboiled (and sadistic in Dan's case) killers, are disgusted and appalled by the actions of Curtis Blackburn, who abducted young girls, sodomized them, and killed them. He also abducted young boys and harvested their organs for sale on the black market. | |

Japan Takes Over the World | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_31e92640 | comment |
Japan Takes Over the World: One of the two endings results in Japan leading the United Nations in a war against the U.S. Given that the game was made by Suda51 (and runs heavy with the theme of eternal and inevitable conflict between eastern and western cultures), we can safely presume this is not meant to be a "good" ending. | |

Distant Finale | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_3318a1cb | comment |
Distant Finale: Chapter 6 ("Smile") is the proper final stage in the game, in which Garcian Smith discovers that his true identity is Emir Parkreiner and that the other six Smiths are actually people that he killed years ago in the Union Hotel, and he's the only one that really exists as a separate person. Chapter 7 ("Lion") is the epilogue, being set five years later and has Garcian, having reverted back to his Emir identity after the other Smiths were eradicated during "Smile", fulfilling a final mission on Battleship Island, eliminating the last few Heaven Smiles and either killing or sparing eminent Japanese politician Kenjiro Matsuoka. The very final scene is set one hundred years after that, showing Harman and Kun Lan meeting again in Shanghai to begin the next cycle of their eternal game against each other. | |

Split-Personality Team: The game uses this as a gameplay mechanic, with all the Smiths playing differently, using different weapons, and having different skills despite being split personalities of one man (the twist being that the one man is not the one that we think. They even appear to change form when they switch personalities and have their own health meters. | |

Trailers Always Lie: This trailer, from way back in 2003, is particularly interesting as virtually none of the dialogue or cutscenes in it appear in the game itself. An article in a gaming magazine prior to the game's release stated that the characters would each have different abilities than what made it into the game: KAEDE was supposed to be able to kill the Smiles by raining blood down on them, like she does with the barriers. It was supposedly because she had some kind of toxin in her system. Coyote was supposed to be able to perform a roundhouse kick, that would clear a room full of Smiles. | |

The whole level has various characters building up this chapter as the big climactic finish, and when you finally get to the end of the stage, instead of finding the person you were looking for, you instead find two shadowy figures ( Young Harman and Dmitri Nightmare) who just dismissively tell you he's not here and you should go somewhere else. | |

Split Personality | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_370aad9 | comment |
Split Personality: The Smiths; it's on the box cover. But when it comes to whose personality they split from, Covers Always Lie. However, they're not regular split personalities, instead being examples of something called Multifoliate Personae Phenomenon, which is why they're seemingly able to physically manifest. To make matters even crazier about the history of the Smiths, the supplementary material seem to say that they were already dead when Emir killed them, and Harman had been using them as split personalities as the Killer7 syndicate. So, they've been killed at least twice, can apparently manifest themselves separately from one another, and can be endlessly resurrected by Garcian/Emir. And Samantha used to be one, but isn't anymore, so it's apparently possible for a personality to leave and regain their body... somehow. Samantha at least comes off as an example, switching between Meido and Alpha Bitch depending on whether or not the lights are on. Same with Yoon-Hyun, who puts on a mask to switch from his cordial demeanor to the abrasive True Mask. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Kevin Smith's knives aren't the most exciting weapons to use, but using them draws more blood from your enemies. And they don't need to be reloaded, and their aiming doesn't waver. Dan Smith is another example. He has decent power and accuracy with his revolver and a relatively quick reload, moreso with his Collateral Shot letting him be one of only two Smiths who can destroy red cores on a Duplicator Smile (and being able to do it much sooner and for much less Thin Blood than MASK) and upgrades to his inherent abilities to let him reload faster and finding a double-barreled revolver to hit harder. This makes him one of the best and most well-balanced at overall combat, in return for not being good for much else - he doesn't get any special abilities for puzzles like Coyote's high jumps or KAEDE's ability to break barriers, and he doesn't get any really flashy and powerful combat abilities either like MASK's Macross Missile Massacre or Con's ability to lock onto an enemy's weak point. | |

| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_3babae20 | comment |
Degraded Boss: Many minibosses become this, since the miniboss battles are meant to introduce a new type of Heaven Smile for the next chapter (Mook Debut Cutscene included). The trope is averted for the first miniboss (Speed Smile) and the last two (Timer and Galactic Tomahawk), as they never show up again, and for the latter two it's justified due to their late appeareance in the game. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: Ayame Blackburn, a hijacked woman who is roleplaying as an anime superhero, is fought twice (both in the fourth chapter, Encounter). The first fight takes place in a wide, empty parking area beyond an amusement park where your bullets only inflict damage as long as she runs past a light post (she's invincible in the dark); while the second takes place inside a narrow garage where you have to keep and eye on what door opens so you can shoot her. However, the chapter's final boss is someone else (Curtis Blackburn, the man who hijacked Ayame). | |

Wham Shot: The game gets one at the end of the Alter-Ego chapter. The first two chapters have set up Kun Lan and the mystery of the Heaven's Smiles as very important, but then for the next three chapters they kind of take a back-seat as the Smiths deal with stuff like a crazy cult leader, another assassin, and team of super-sentai parodies. The very last shot at the end of the chapter is Kun Lan over a red screen, reaching for the camera, to remind you he's still around, and warn you that the next chapter is all about him and the Smiles again. The very next chapter, Smile, has one at the very beginning, where you enter Harman's room to find Samantha dead and Harman nowhere in sight. | |

Duel Boss: Curtis insists upon a fair duel with Dan. Happens again with the Killer7 taking on the Handsome Men, one by one. Julia's boss fight simply consists of you two pointing your weapons at each other and firing as fast as possible. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Dying as Dan, Kaede, Kevin, Coyote, Con or Mask simply transports you back to the last Harman's Room you visited. You can then switch to Garcian and make your way back to the place where the persona got killed, retrieve their head, get transported back to Harman's Room and resurrect it by repeatedly pressing A. You even get to keep all the blood you've collected. However, this means playing through the same stretch of level at least three times: 1) the original run before dying, 2) as Garcian up to the spot where you died, 3) a third run with the restored persona. Considering that the enemies respawn constantly, and Garcian is the weakest member of Killer7, dying isn't the walk in the park it's supposed to be. And if Garcian himself dies, it's a definitive Game Over. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Sure, what Pedro did was terrible, but Curtis's response (raping and killing Pedro's wife, murdering his son, and tossing his daughter's severed head to Pedro while going into detail about what he did to them) is overkill for anyone. When the United States realizes that Japan has been manipulating their presidencies and elections through the Department of Education, their response is to wipe Japan off the face of the earth. | |

Speaking Simlish: Subverted with the Remnant Psyches. At first, it sounds like they're talking in distorted gibberish, but in the original Japanese it's instead various Synthetic Voice Actors speaking in machine-translated Gratuitous English (as heard here,) and the overseas releases added extra filters over their voices to make them sound more garbled. | |

Plot Coupon: In many chapters, you have to collect Soul Shells and deliver them to someone in the Vinculum Gate to access the whereabouts of the next boss (though this changes in the penultimate chapter: the first delivery takes you to someone telling you that your next target went elsewhere, and the the second deliverynote which is also the final one in the game, since the last chapter has no collectibles is only the first of many steps necessary to access that level's boss). | |

Artistic License – History: Part of the backstory involves an elementary school that has decided who the president of the United States would be since George Washington, located in Seattle, Washington. At the time of Washington's presidency, Seattle didn't exist, only populated by the tribes already living in the area. Seattle wouldn't be founded until 1851, sixty-two years after Washington's election. Even with the extremely bizarre nature of the game, there is no reason to make such a mistake. | |

Black-and-Grey Morality: The Killer7 is a team of sociopaths, their master may or may not be perpetuating combat and war as much as his enemy, and even he's regularly being raped or otherwise physically abused by the maid. On the other hand, their targets include a pedophile working in the organ trade and a comic author who, knowing that the stories he writes play out in reality, continues writing stories wherein many people die - there are very few outright good characters. | |

Meaningful Background Event: When Mills summons Garcian at the start of Cloudman, Ulmeyda's challenge to Garcian turns into a non sequitur rant about someone with type AB blood whose parents have A and O, which Ulmeyda finds pretty cool since it's biologically impossible. Come the end of the game, and Garcian turns out to be Emir Parkreiner, who has type B blood while his parents have A and O; again, impossible. Ulmeyda was basically telling Garcian that he knew the truth of who he was, but in a way Garcian couldn't pick up on. | |

Painful Transformation | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_5ff9310b | comment |
Painful Transformation: The game features Heaven Smiles as its regular enemies. While some of them are transformed humans, you rarely see the transformations. When you do, they usually feature an instantaneous transformation or an offscreen one. Then there's Andrei Ulmeyda, whose transformation goes like this: The army, wishing to experiment on him to try and use Smiles as their own weapons, injects potent Heaven Smile tumors into him. The army triggers a small explosion for some reason, but then an even larger explosion occurs and Ulmeyda asks why you didn't kill him at the injection and saying he "can't control this urge to kill." He then screams, his head then flies off his head, his acidic blood (acidic because of all the diseases he infected himself with to create vaccines) kills everyone in the army present, then his blood brings his head back onto his body and pulls up his afro. | |

By far the most disturbing secret about this place is that Curtis Blackburn is using it to gather orphans for his organ traffic businesses. | |

Militaries Are Useless: The only case you see of the military being mobilized in the game is the worst case possible. They storm Andrei Ulmeyda's outpost, not because he's a dangerous criminal, but because he produces miracle cures by overcoming deadly diseases and are hoping he can do the same with Heaven Smile. Nevermind that Andrei has been taking absurd measures to avoid Heaven Smile, including "hiring" the Killer7, because even he thinks he can't handle it. He ends up being right, and his transformation is so extreme that the entire military unit is wiped out, leaving only the Killer7 to put down the mutated Andrei. | |

The Reveal | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Many in the final chapters: The United States elections have been subverted by the Japanese taking control of a politically important elementary school in Seattle. Japan being bombed in Sunset? In reality, this was the United States discovering they've been subverted and choosing violent retribution. This is also why they refused to intercept any missiles - they were being launched from American air space, not flying through it. Harman Smith was heavily involved with said school, which was secretly training children to become assassins. Also, there are multiple Harmans. Garcian is actually Emir Parkreiner, who killed all the Smiths which resulted in his (not Harman's) split personalities. And finally, the final Heaven Smile is Iwazaru, who is also Kun Lan. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The verb "Smith", aka "to hit" (i.e. metal). In Killer7, the Smiths are assassins, i.e., "hitmen". It can also be seen as a declaration of anonymity and allegiance to America, as the killers are of many different ethnicities but all have a generic American last name as personalities of Harman, the hero of the west. Trevor Pearlharbor is ultimately killed by one of his own sentai heroes; the word "sentai" literally refers to a Japanese military unit, for example the one that bombed Pearl Harbor. Yoon-Hyun was the owner of the Union Hotel Group; sound out "Yoon-Hyun". Ayame Blackburn, an assassin - "Ayameru" means "to kill", as pointed out in The Silver Case. The song that plays over the credits is named "Dissociative Identity". That's the modern name for what used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder. | |

Secret Character | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_6bff99d4 | comment |
Secret Character: Young Harman. After beating the game once on any difficulty, you can go back and re-play the game in killer8 mode, which gives you access to the previously unavailable character, whose huge amount of health and tommy-gun make him overpowered. You'll need him though, since the only difficulty level available for killer8 mode is Bloodbath, where enemies take obtuse amounts of damage, give almost no blood at all, and have invisible weak points. | |

Silliness Switch: There's a secret game mode titled hopper7, where the only available difficulty level is Face The Swarm, and most of the enemies are replaced with giant grasshoppers that die in one hit. Unfortunately, only one level is available in this mode, and you have to beat the game once, then beat it again on Bloodbath difficulty in killer8 mode, to unlock it. | |

Mook Maker: Mother Smiles, Duplicator Smiles, and Greg Nightmare. A Mother Smile is a hatcher that sends an endless number of enemies at the player, until it is destroyed. This requires using one of the character's special moves to achieve. Duplicator Smiles are smaller hatchers that appear as enemies throughout the level, and pose less of a threat, since they require less fire power. The last one is a Flunky Boss that sends in near-invincible black Smiles when it's in the verge of defeat. | |

| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_6edb0066 | comment |
Zero-Effort Boss: The battle against the Handsome Men is predetermined; the Smiths will always win 4 - 3, though there is considerable symbolism and foreshadowing in the fight. For example: Harman is a Decoy Protagonist to Garcian, much like how Handsome Red, Harman's opponent, is one to Handsome Pink, Garcian's opponent. The Final Boss, Greg Nightmare, is the type that's very, very hard to lose to (provided you can figure out that Garcian can pick up the Golden Gun). The Post Final Bosses, Emir Parkreiner and the Last Shot Smile, cannot be lost to. | |

Here We Go Again!: The end of the first mission has Harman Smith asking Kun Lan "You're awake from your dream?" to which Kun Lan responds "Harman, the size of the world has changed." In the end of the final mission, Harman asks Kun Lan, "You're awake from your nightmare?" The response is "Harman, the world doesn't change, all it does is turn." Also, their confrontation at the beginning of the game takes place in Seattle; their confrontation at the end takes place in an unspecified Chinese city. You can probably fill in the blanks. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
The Smiths; it's on the box cover. But when it comes to whose personality they split from, Covers Always Lie. However, they're not regular split personalities, instead being examples of something called Multifoliate Personae Phenomenon, which is why they're seemingly able to physically manifest. To make matters even crazier about the history of the Smiths, the supplementary material seem to say that they were already dead when Emir killed them, and Harman had been using them as split personalities as the Killer7 syndicate. So, they've been killed at least twice, can apparently manifest themselves separately from one another, and can be endlessly resurrected by Garcian/Emir. And Samantha used to be one, but isn't anymore, so it's apparently possible for a personality to leave and regain their body... somehow. | |

Arc Words | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: Most of the Remnant Psyches have their own recurring words and Catchphrases, to further differentiate each character: Travis has "chief" and "straight up", the True Mask has "tomorrow, it could be you", Iwazaru has "Master" and "in the name of Harman", and so on. The game has the phrases "Don't gain the world and lose your soul", "Let's dance", "In the name of Harman..." and "666" scrawled in various places. "How Soon is Now" is the name of a song. While it's been covered many times, the original version was by The Smiths. (As it happens, all the courier memos are also named after songs by the Smiths.) While the other two may qualify as Arc Words, this one's probably more of a Shout-Out. There's also the advent of the disappearance of smiles that runs throughout the game, before and after missions (with cheerful phrases such as "The day he stops smiling is the day we remember his smile".) | |

Eagleland | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_7a265daa | comment |
Eagleland: The game contains examples of both types. Put simply, there are three different views. Firstly, we have pro-America; most of the playable characters are part American, and they are presented as less insane than Japan (a view that many Westerners hold) and, as Cloudman proves, less fanatical about the Yakumo. On the other hand, they're dicks who forced democracy onto Japan and then didn't even notice that Japan turned the tables and rigged all of America's elections. Matsuken offers a different view; they're completely self-obsessed and no-one else can comprehend American values, with him just shrugging off Garcian's Armor-Piercing Question about what the United States is. Within the OST you have a track called "American Diplomacy", which depicts it as if they were aliens invading earth in a B-Movie. | |

Armor-Piercing Question | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Question: Garcian attempts this at one point. Matsuken has been attempting to control the United States using Japanese ideals for the whole game, so Garcian challenges him: "what is United States? What is the purpose of the President?" Matsuken simply counters with "I'm Japanese, how the hell should I know? Figure it out for yourself." Not only does this tie into the recurring theme of two nations misunderstanding each other, Garcian's lack of an answer turns out to be significant: he's actually the assassin Emir Parkreiner, reincarnated, and Emir was an assassin for the Japanese government whose death coincided with the fall of Japan. | |

Good Powers, Bad People | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_7bcdd204 | comment |
Good Powers, Bad People: The game plays with this trope, as the two main supernatural antagonists are both basically "Gods". However, Kun Lan, armed with the "good" power of life, uses it to create heaven smiles, hideous monsters used as living bombs, while Harman Smith, armed with the "evil" power of death, uses this to empower his assassins to destroy manifestations of evil in the world (said heaven smiles). The ending implies that the two sometimes switch which of them is "good" and "evil", which leads to the other tropes. | |

Life Meter | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_84e189a8 | comment |
The Life Meter of every Smith is an eye that closes as you take damage, which iris is red if you have thin blood to heal with and blue otherwise, At first you may think it just yet another weird stylistic choice among many the game takes but by the end of the game, it becomes clear it is meant to represent Emir/Garcian's Third Eye and source of his powers. | |

WarmUpBoss | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_883f3732 | comment |
Warm-Up Boss: The Speed Smile. Though it's actually slow in its approach, this Smile jerks its head around very quickly and constantly, making hitting the weak point in its head difficult. The trick is that the Speed Smile moves its head to one of three set positions as it approaches, making predicting its next move and lining up a killing shot possible. This also sets up the rules of the Vinculum Gate: the only way to defeat Vinculum Gate bosses is to hit their weak points. | |

Beat Them at Their Own Game | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_8a6d2168 | comment |
Beat Them at Their Own Game: That's why they call Emir the Ace of Aces: Kevin, the master of disguise, was identified instantly and gunned down. Con, the blind gunman, was taken by surprise in his own room. Kaede, who finds hidden paths, could not hide from Emir. Coyote, who can get to hard to reach places, is out-flanked. MASK, the superhero, was struck down when he was unmasked and most vulnerable - in the shower. Dan, hard boiled Badass, can't beat Emir in a one-on-one stand off (doesn't help that Emir's immortal). | |

Mini-Boss: After crossing the Vinculum Gates and being close to the whereabouts of a chapter's boss, the Smiths have to defeat a brand-new Heaven Smile to proceed. The catch is that, during these fights, any attack from them can kill the characters instantly, so they have to defeat them quickly first; most of them are degraded into regular enemies afterwards (though the Speed, Timer and Galactic Tomahawk Smiles remain one-time opponents). | |

Posthumous Character | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_8b568cb7 | comment |
Posthumous Character: The Remnant Psyches are the ghosts of people who were previously associated with the Seven Smiths during their lifetime, mostly former victims. Most of them are the ghosts of defeated bosses like Andre Ulmeyda and Curtis Blackburn, but some of them (namely Travis Bell, Kess Bloodysunday, Susie Sumner) were also past victims who died before the events of the game. The only possible exception is Iwazaru, who may be The Mole, the Big Bad, neither, or both. | |

Mr. Exposition: This is the sole purpose for the existence of Travis Bell. As you go through each mission, he informs you why you're there and what's happened thus far. Since the Killer7 are only called in once things have degraded to where someone has to die, this is essentially Late to the Tragedy embodied in a character. And you can never be sure if Travis (who openly despises you) is telling the truth, either... | |

Kingmaker Scenario | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_8d4e3278 | comment |
Kingmaker Scenario: The Smiths are hired to take out Matsuken, the leader of a significant 10 million US voters, before he can rig the elections. 10 million is technically less than 1% of the vote - BUT since the state elections are near-tied, if Matsuken herded them all into a single small state and had them vote he could win the election for whichever kiss-ass the Japanese favor. And then you find out this was all a big distraction so nobody would realize the Department of Education has been swapping out ballot machines. | |

Karmic Death: Dan can talk, but can't back it up. In death, he has the strength to back it up. Coyote is outwitted by Emir. In death, he has the ingenuity that could have saved his life. KAEDE tried to save herself by placing a barrier between her and Emir. In death, she can commit suicide in order to break barriers. Con could not hear Emir coming nor could he escape. In death, he gains super hearing and super speed. MASK presents the image of an invulnerable superhero with his mask, but is killed effortlessly whilst not wearing it. In death, his mask grants him incredible powers, making him the strongest of the group. Kevin's lackluster disguise fails to prevent Emir from detecting him. In death, he gains the ultimate means to avoid detection. Last but not least, Garcian (Emir) kills the others, and then commits suicide out of guilt. In death, he can revive the other personas. Less ambiguously, several targets including Curtis being killed by his own organ harvesting machines, and Trevor Pearlharbor having a hole blown through him by Handsome Black's Handsome Wink. | |

Exposition Fairy: Iwazaru drops into view on occasion (he hangs from a bungee cord) and informs the title assassins of what they need to do next, often by insulting them (for example, when he complains about MASK DE Smith, you have to switch to MASK to advance). The ending reveals that Iwazaru is Kun Lan in disguise, explaining why someone supposedly loyal to the Smiths has so little respect. Aside from the gimp, the Smiths travel with an entire retinue of 'quirky' exposition ghosts. Easygoing Travis also offers hints and is generally more trustworthy, Kess Bloodysunday is a shell-shocked ghost kid who tells you how to beat the bosses, and severed head Susie... the less said the better. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Play Resident Evil 4 a lot using the sniper rifle. Notice how you zoom in using the C-stick and use the Y button to open up your inventory. Now play this game and use the Sniper Pistol. The Y button is used to zoom in a pre-set distance, but that's no problem. Unfortunately the C-stick is used to reload, which is a fairly lengthy process. Not fun when you're in a tough fight, less so when you're zoomed in, as said sniper pistol takes even longer to reload when you're aiming. | |

Gambit Roulette: The entire game, as revealed in the supplementary material, Jaco's Report.

As the probability of the predictions happening increases with each one that comes true and eventually reaches a point that a prediction will come true even if the machine has to bend reality to make it happen, he sets the events of each mission in motion to force the Last Smile into existence. | |

Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels: This game's hard mode is called Deadly. killer8 forces you into a harder difficulty named Bloodbath, while hopper7 gives the joke Face the Swarm difficulty, which is a variant of Deadly. | |

Invisibility | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_9a3285c | comment |
Invisibility: Kevin Smith's ultimate ability is to turn invisible to go undetected among the Heaven Smiles, which are usually very good at spotting any living being to attempt to suicidally kill them. Kevin's invisibility is further reinforced with his permanent silence (he never speaks and the noises he makes while running are very minimal). | |

Sociopathic Hero: Dan Smith. He's by no means a role model, being a cold-blooded assassin on top of being foul-mouthed. However, he does mean well, and is determined to put an end to Curtis Blackburn's life and his sordid business with human organs. | |

Eldritch Location | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: If taken literally, then Harman's Room and the Vinculum Gate are this, since they make appearances behind so many otherwise ordinary doors and seemingly can make connections throughout vast distances of space. The Dominican Republic. Even compared to the other trippy areas in the game, it's clear that there's something fundamentally wrong about it, featuring an entire area that loops on itself unless you take specific passageways that can be indicated by sound and dark passageways that teleport you throughout the city. By the end of the game, it becomes obvious that Garcian's trailerhouse follows similar rules as Harman's Room and the Vinculum Gate, though again, potentially non-literal ones. Not only is it simultaneously linked across the world to Harman's Room, which might be under the Colosseum on Battleship Island, and the Forbidden Room, which might be a suite on the top floor of the Union Hotel in Pennsylvania, but it also has a winding basement tunnel. Yes, a basement, in a trailer. The Forbidden Room is more or less confirmed to be this, as Kun Lan states that "time here is warped". | |

Interface Spoiler | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_9cb3e22e | comment |
Interface Spoiler: Channels 9, 10, and 11 are just added as a reference to a certain type of TV. However, this leads to a very hard-to-figure-out one: Whenever you can select Harman while on his channel, he says, "Ah, Garcian... how long has it been?" If you go to the Blood channel quickly, he still says it since no sub menus or voices can be shown there. Same goes for Channel 11 and Channel 10... but it stops at Channel 9. This foreshadows killer8, where there is someone who takes Channel 9 as his own. | |

Hand Cannon | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_9cde2df1 | comment |
Hand Cannon: Dan Smith uses a Colt Python as his primary weapon. While this is large enough to qualify for this trope as is, he receives a mid-game upgrade: the Demon Gun, a double barreled, twelve-shell cylinder revolver, which appears to be larger than his head in several cut scenes. MASK goes one better by using a pair of cut-down grenade launchers. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: At the end of the Handsome Men fight, Garcian's counterpart Handsome Pink reveals her real identity as Love Wilcox, and explains how she wrote the story of this battle, implicitly making her the leader and not Handsome Red, Harman's counterpart. All of this foreshadows Garcian's true identity as Emir and his position as the host personality of the Smiths, not Harman. In addition, Garcian is the one holding the anti-tank rifle Harman usually uses during the game-esque credits following the fight against the Handsome Men, once again hinting at his link to Harman. In the very first level of the game, Travis calls Garcian "Emir". Garcian being Emir is the big endgame plot twist. The Life Meter of every Smith is an eye that closes as you take damage, which iris is red if you have thin blood to heal with and blue otherwise, At first you may think it just yet another weird stylistic choice among many the game takes but by the end of the game, it becomes clear it is meant to represent Emir/Garcian's Third Eye and source of his powers. | |

Made of Iron | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: Both the Final Boss and the Post-Final Boss: Greg Nightmare starts off as a traditional boss by this game's standards. Then you blow off his lower body, at which point he won't die no matter how many times you shoot him. In addition, he spawns seven Black Smiles, each of which kills a personality permanently and cannot be killed at all. What you're supposed to do is watch all six main personalities (seven in the New Game Plus) die until you get to Garcian, at which point he can pick up the Golden Gun, which will one-shot any remaining Smiles and Nightmare himself. The Last Shot Smile is an utterly pathetic boss, but the aforementioned Golden Gun takes five shots to kill it, meaning that from a plot perspective, it's likely immune to all other weapons as well. | |

Filler: The Alter Ego chapter has very little relation to anything else that happens in the plot. It offers some world-building, but it's in relation to topics that are never brought up again and is only notable for having a Shout-Out to Suda51's Japan-only game, Moonlight Syndrome, and Mask de Smith getting a new power-up. | |

Counting Bullets | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_9f1b0b39 | comment |
Counting Bullets: The game plays with this trope with an example that counts the empty chambers rather than the bullets during Garcian's game of Russian Roulette with Benjamin Keane. After five rounds, it seems like the sixth chamber will inevitably contain the bullet. But then Garcian puts the gun to his head, pulls the trigger, and it clicks, because the kind of gun they were using actually held seven bullets. | |

Cluster Bleep-Bomb: At one point in the game, Suzie goes off on a tangent about what she did to some men who made fun of her name, and parts of it get censored out. This is funny for three separate reasons: in the English version, Suzie (like all ghosts) is The Unintelligible; in the Japanese version, her speech is so full of Gratuitous English that it makes no sense anyway; and the game doesn't censor profanity anywhere else! | |

One-Hit Kill: Touching Andrei Ulmeyda. He's the boss of the third chapter. The demonic black Smiles during the boss battle of the sixth chapter. In fact, six of the seven Smith members die inevitably because of them. Luckily, Garcian then grabs the ultra-powerful Golden Gun to kill the remaining Smile, as well as the boss himself, in one shot each. From there to the end of the game, he can kill with one shot any Smile (except the final boss, though it still goes down after five shots), without even having to aim at their weak points. | |

Several major factions in the game want it, but nobody explains what it is and what it can do. Hand in Killer7 says it is a founding document of the United Nations Party which outlines its foreign policy, but nothing explains why something like that would be so powerful. A fragment of it (or possibly an imperfect copy) is what allowed Andrei Ulmeyda to build a highly successful company that doesn't actually produce anything. | |

Alternate History | |

Alternate History: The story follows a timeline quite a bit different from ours. This seems to stretch a ways back to the 1700s, if we take at face value the claim that the first president of the United States was the headmaster of a school in Seattle, Washington state. While how far back America's history diverged is unknown, Japan's history's divergence can be traced to somebody (likely Kun Lan) calling Toru Fukushima after World War II, as the Liberal Party that Fukushima was asked to split off from really did exist. It's also an alternate history to The Silver Case and Flower, Sun and Rain, as Killer7 goes out of its way to mention that the Internet (necessary to the plot of The Silver Case) and airplanes (necessary to the plot of Flower, Sun, and Rain) were banned in 1998, one year before The Silver Case takes place. | |

Scenery Dissonance: At least half of the missions take place in sunny locations, like Texas, the Dominican Republic, and a well-lit amusement park. However, since this is a Surreal Horror we're talking about, the bright light emphasizes the bizarre, cel-shaded, technicolor palette, making the world around you only look that much more alien and hostile. In fact, one of the most horrific scenes in the game (Ulmeyda turning into a Heaven Smile and the ensuing boss fight) takes place in the Texas desert in broad daylight. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Pedro Montana is a total bastard who sells orphans so that their organs can be used for Heaven's Smiles. But when we actually see him, he's playing handball when his partner, Curtis Blackburn (whom Pedro recently betrayed and ran out on), arrives. Pedro is terrified when he sees Curtis, and soon we discover he had a damn good reason to be - Curtis doesn't forgive. In this case, Curtis's idea of proper retribution is slaughtering Pedro's entire family... and then taunting him with stories of how they died. It's one of the hardest scenes in the game to watch, and makes it very clear that, out of all the villains in the game, Curtis Blackburn is the worst. | |

Jack of All Stats | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_ac9f78d9 | comment |
Jack of All Stats: The game offers seven playable elite assassins through which players can freely toggle. Their resident Jack is Dan Smith, whose balanced attack, speed, waver and critical skills usually make him the players' weapon of choice. Every other character either moves or reloads too slowly, aims slightly off or is prone get one-hit killed. Dan has no weaknesses unless scripted otherwise. | |

Apocalyptic Log | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_ad22fa80 | comment |
Apocalyptic Log: The second level of the chapter Smile is dotted with old style tape-recordings containing the details of a detective called Holbert and his investigation of the murderer and assassin Emir Parkreiner. The tapes become increasingly disturbing, as the facts presented seem bizarre and contradictory (much to the exasperation of the detective). The final tape ends with him mentioning in shock that Emir is standing right in front of him, with his final words cut off by a gunshot. | |

More Despicable Minion: While Kun Lan is a terrorist who kills a lot of people, he's a very good friend to his enemy Harman Smith and his motives are very ambiguous. Curtis Blackburn, in contrast, is a pedophilic human trafficker who kidnaps and rapes young girls before using their organs to create more Heaven Smiles for Kun Lan, and he's one of the few characters in the game that no one has anything nice to say about. | |

Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: An old senile hitman, who spends the duration of the story getting raped by his maid, with seven split personalities which can manifest into the real world fighting suicide bomber zombie things who are really happy all the time. The split personalities are comprised of a black guy with resurrection powers, a badass anime stereotype with a revolver that can shoot energy balls, Mexican Tommy Vercetti with super jumping powers and the ability to fire a weapon upside down without breaking his elbow, a blind Chinese gangsta kid who can run really freaking fast and dual-wields pistols sideways, a sniper chick who really really likes blood, a mute albino knife freak who can turn invisible, and a macho libre wrestler. | |

Party, Kenjiro Matsuoka, to kill himself while revealing this truth. After continually mocking Matsuoka, they are promptly shot by him, only for Kun Lan to appear and revive the two as sentient Heaven Smile/zombie hybrids, while also giving Matsuoka the confidence he needs to be a great leader. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Even though every character has to reload (except for Kevin, who uses knives), they never run out of extra bullets or magazines. Dan and MASK in particular get upgrades about halfway through the game that let them reload faster, by speeding up the part of the animation where they dump spent rounds — and then completely skipping the part where they load in new ones before closing up and getting back to shooting. MASK's penultimate upgrade later gives him full-on infinite ammo. | |

First-Person Ghost: For some reason, the animated cutscenes in Cloudman work this way, with characters addressing the camera as if it were the Killer7 (but sometimes the camera shifts, and sometimes when that happens the person doesn't look towards the camera's new angle so...who knows?). The Killer7's dialogue is also unheard here too. In one instance ("we don't get many black folk around here"), it's explicitly directed at Garcian. | |

All-or-Nothing Reloads | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_b5476fec | comment |
All-or-Nothing Reloads: The game plays with this. All of the Smiths' reload animations are extremely fast and stylistic to cut down on the amount of time you have to spend defenseless, with the exception of KAEDE, who has the only realistic reload of the group and thus takes the longest, possibly to balance out the fact that she's the designated sniper of the group. It takes even longer if you're reloading while in aiming mode, as KAEDE fumbles with the new magazine as she sticks it in. When the killer7 have their Mirror Match showdown against the Handsome Men, KAEDE is defeated when her opponent reloads a little bit faster and shoots her as she's still reloading. | |

Cyberpunk for Flavor: The game gets into this in the target Alter Ego.

Cutting the Knot | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_c2299d6e | comment |
Cutting the Knot: The Freaky Fun House has a game called Squeaker's Attack, in which you have to shoot all the rats that pop out of the holes in a giant spinning wheel of cheese. You could take the time to shoot each rat individually while Heaven Smiles keep spawning and attacking... or just switch to Mask and use his dual grenade launchers to blow the cheese wheel to bits. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: After Mask de Smith is defeated in a duel with one of the Handsome Men, he suddenly transforms into a Kamen Rider-esque figure with a new super attack and no reloading. Mask transforming and getting stronger is actually a game mechanic, but normally only happens when he finds a new mask, while the transformation with the Handsome Men is completely out of the blue and goes without a word by anyone. | |

Continuing is Painful | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: The game somehow straddles the border between Death Is a Slap on the Wrist and this: When one of the Smiths is killed, you start over at the nearest Harman's Room, with no penalty apart from not being able to use the same Smith again — unless you pick Garcian, the 'cleaner', and trek back to where you died to pick up their body. This is particularly irritating, because Garcian is armed with a dinky pistol that can't be upgraded at all, and if he goes down, the game is over for good. Thankfully, playing as Garcian makes fewer enemies appear, but it's still easy to make a level unwinnable in killer8 mode if a character dies behind an enemy that only that character can kill with ease. | |

Harder Than Hard | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: Upon completing the game for the first time, you get access "Killer 8". In it you get an additional character with both a clip size and rate of fire drastically larger than any of the normal caricatures. However, the down side is that the enemies are faster and more deadly; just shooting at them normally does almost nothing, the weak points that you use to kill them instantly are now completely invisible, and the enemies give you less "blood" to level up and heal with. And the extra character has a metric ton of health (to the point that he's the only character besides Mask who can take more than one hit in this mode). Since resurrecting dead characters requires Button Mashing as fast as you can until refill their health gauge, you better make sure he doesn't die if you value your thumbs. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Two minor characters are from Suda's past games, Edo Macalister from Flower, Sun and Rain and Mithra from Moonlight Syndrome. The entire structure of the game and many of its plot concepts are taken from The Silver Case; it would be futile to try and list every self-reference here, as they quickly leave the territory of Shout-Out and instead start to resemble pieces of the same body of work (although it's easily determined that they can't take place on the same timeline). Some of Dan's suits look like Spike Spiegel's and Lupin's. A blatant one with Harman's "Tricks are for kids, Kun." At one point, Susie references Daddy-Long-Legs. Numerous The Smiths song titles are used at some point in the game, which is natural given the names of the protagonists. Travis' s in Alter Ego are all named after songs by the music group Quruli. Although not stated in the game or book, instead being relegated to magazine articles, the weapon names of the protagonists are all also named after songs by punk rock bands, sometimes even tying the character in with the lyrics. Ayame Blackburn's battle theme is titled Sweet Blue Flag. In Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, the leader of the Hanarangers was named Ayame and given the title of Blue Sweet Flag. (In both cases, this is also a reference to the meaning of Ayame.) Johnny's carrier pigeons are all named after Bond girls. The end credits in Alter Ego show Con Smith as a Red Arremer and Dan in a Saturday Night Fever suit and dance pose. | |

Metal Slime | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_c923e7a6 | comment |
Metal Slime: The Mini Smiles fly at you at high speed. If they hit, they explode and temporarily blind you. Shooting red ones gives you a great deal of Thick Blood (which you use to power up), and shooting a yellow one heals you fully. The Camellia Smiles run away as soon as they're shot and explode a few seconds later; killing them before they escape (which requires hitting their weak spot or a very fast character) rewards you with large amounts of Thick Blood. | |

Mirror Boss | |

Mirror Boss: The Handsome Men are a team of rival assassins who battle the Smith Syndicate in a Duel Boss sequence. Not only do they have one member for each of your 8 characters, but they all copy the weapons those characters use; and every single motion and shot you make, turning every battle into a war of attrition which you are destined to either win or lose. If you pay attention to this being a Mirror Boss along with the cutscene afterwards, this is ultimately Foreshadowing to Harman's status as a Decoy Protagonist to Garcian, as Handsome Red is to Handsome Pink. | |

The Magic Goes Away: The penultimate episode (Smile) ends with whatever cursed magic woven by 'real Harman Smith' and Kun Lan on Emir Parkreiner that binds all of the dead Smiths onto Garcian being undone by unkillable Black Heaven Smiles. When only Garcian remains (you can't switch to him until all the other Smiths are gone), Garcian can use a weapon lying on the floor to defend himself against the Smiles and defeat the warped politicians and escape. From that point onward in the plot, the other Smiths which you've been relying on throughout the entire game are completely and finally dead, leaving you with only Garcian, the most vulnerable of all the Smiths. | |

Action Bomb: Almost every single one of the Heaven Smiles does this, to the point that they have no other means of self-defense than blowing themselves up when they get close enough to the player. The only ones who don't have this as a primary means of attack are the Laser Smiles, Galactic Tomahawk Smile, and some of the bosses, though the latter two will explode if you get too close. | |

Several cassettes can be found, and have the recordings of a deceased FBI agent who was researching about the life of one of the school's former students, Emir Parkreiner (the past life of Garcian Smith). The boss is Greg Nightmare himself, who is revealed to have been Dead All Along. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: While running through the early stages your character is constantly being contacted by a man named Johnny Gagnon, his messages arriving by carrier pigeon. This wouldn't be too unusual if he didn't address every letter to someone named Emir and wasn't writing about the Smith syndicate you play as. Later, you learn about a man named Emir Parkreiner, who is the most important character in the game and the murderer of the Killer7 in their past lives.

Gambit Pileup | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_de9047ac | comment |
Gambit Pileup: Once you understand all the symbolism in Killer7, it becomes a truly staggering version of this: Harman Smith and Kun Lan are good friends, yet still in a war against eachother. Harman controls the Smith Syndicate (which is working for the US), and Kun Lan controls the Heaven Smiles and is heavily entrenched in the Japanese U.N. Party (even though he may be manipulating it to make US-Japan relations worse). Curtis Blackburn and Pedro are plotting against each other, and Dan Smith (Curtis's apprentice) is part of the Smith Syndicate but is plotting against Harman. The Handsome Men appear to be controlled by the comic book writer Trevor Pearlharbor even though their leader is nominally Handsome Red, but are actually being controlled by Handsome Pink, who actually writes their story, which makes Trevor believe he's writing it even though he's just precogniscient. In Japan, the amiable Liberal Party and the nationalist U.N. Party are at odds as to whether to cooperate with the US to save Japan from missiles sent from an unknown other country; however, the U.N. Party has taken control of the US elections through Coburn Elementary, even after Japan itself is geographically destroyed. Toru Fukushima, the leader of the U.N. Party, is betrayed by two moles, Jean DePaul (of the International Ethics Committee) and Julia Kisugi (of the Liberal Party); both of them were waiting for the other to make the first move, let the other one get killed by the Smiths, then take the Yakumo for themselves. From Coburn, Greg Nightmare controlled the election, but at some point was turned into a Heaven Smile. The principal Benjamin Keane is himself trying to be elected president. Harman himself was involved in the founding of Coburn, and is manipulating the real host personality of the Smith Syndicate, his own student Emir, into thinking he's one of Harman's personae. Andrei Ulmeyda is using a UN Party document called the Yakumo to amicably gain power, but his city is actually being controlled by the military to conduct experiments. And finally, the Smiths' trusted associate Iwazaru is actually the last Heaven Smile and another avatar of Kun Lan. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: Seemingly invoked by Hand in Killer7, a setting book which contradicts itself all over the place to represent how history can get muddled and rewritten over time. This is eventually lampshaded by Jaco, who mentions that nobody really knows what happened in the Smith Syndicate Incident, one of the most confusing points in the timeline. That Smith Syndicate Incident deserves special mention, because at least three separate versions of it exist between the game and the book, sometimes at wildly different points in time, and it's not possible to reconcile them no matter what you do. That would be fine if it was an isolated event, but it's the focal point of the game's backstory, so it's impossible to ignore. | |

Gangsta Style: Con does a variation with Guns Akimbo, where the right sides of both guns are facing up, rather than the left-hand gun having its left side up. Coyote has an especially bad case - he does not merely hold his gun sideways, but diagonally over his head. He also has serious kickback and is one of the most difficult characters to aim with. | |

In a library area in the first level, he describes himself as 'the Chief's first catch', then describes his death like it were an orgasm: 'To be honest, that shit felt good'. | |

Whoever receives four shots loses the duel. Right before it takes off, the pigeon will coo. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: The gameplay is designed to be a "best of both world" approach to Japanese and Western game design philosophies. Japanese gamers prefer linear games, while Western gamers prefer games that are open-ended. In turn, the gameplay of Killer7 can be described as exploring a wide open environment (the Western approach) with on-rails controls (the Japanese approach). | |

The Maze: There are two real ones (Ulmeyda's boss arena in Cloudman and the Lost City in Alter Ego) and a fake one (in the Freaky Fun House in Encounter). The Lost City maze can be tackled by taking advantage of Con's hearing ability, while the Fun House one merely requires paying attention to the pictures next to the doors. But the ambulance maze where Ulmeyda lurks has no helpful perks other than memorizing the ambulance units to know where you are, and if you accidentally touch Ulmeyda (for example, when you're crossing a junction while looking for him), you'll die instantly. | |

Metropolis Level: The setting of the chapter Alter Ego is the streets of Santo Domingo in Dominican Republic. Here, the Smiths have to look for color-coded stamps to find the Handsome Men, and to this end they have to make their way across compact corridors and streets (including an illusory alley that can only be tackled with Con's hearing ability). Interestingly, due to a series of events during the chapter's climax, the Handsome Men themselves aren't fought here but in a lively street of New York, which fits the trope too. | |

Casual Danger Dialog: Benjamin Keane challenges Garcian to game of Russian Roulette. Benjamin attempts this trope with increasingly longer and intense rants between rounds. Meanwhile, Garcian just picks up the gun, puts it to his head, pulls the trigger, then passes it back each time. Benjamin probably thought he sounded cool, but his tone and hesitant straining on the trigger pulls suggests he scared and/or crazy. Of course, running a school with invisible, giggling, exploding zombies roaming the halls will probably do that to you. | |

Dark Messiah: Andrei Ulmeyda. He's using a fragment of a powerful document, and turns out to not be that bad a guy — infecting himself with all the diseases in the world to become a living vaccine. However, he doesn't succeed against the Heaven's Smile virus, and that's when you're called in... The two gods, Kun-Lan and Harman, their agents on earth, Emir Parkreiner and Harman Smith, are all dark messiahs. The gods don't generally care what their agents do as long as they achieve their ends, resorting to murder and enslavement. The real problem is that they work for the East and the West, respectively, and are constantly at war with each other. So whoever wins, someone else loses. This is shown in the ending of the game, which lets you decide, ultimately, if the West will be destroyed, or the East. | |

Abstract Apotheosis | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_f03c046 | comment |
Abstract Apotheosis: Each member of the Killer7 represents an inversion of one of the traditional Japanese values. Each one also has a moment where the irony disappears and they display their corresponding value. KAEDE has various bloodstains on her dress, which signify betrayal (like the Camellia Smiles), so she represents Loyalty. She is also able to sacrifice herself for her teammates (such as with her self-harm used to break down barriers blocking the Syndicate's progress). Dan, a Blood Knight who kills for fun, represents Honor. Rather than killing Curtis Blackburn straight away, he agrees to a duel with him. Con, a teenage punk, represents Respect. He is shown to have an admiration for the Handsome Men, and according to the manual and "Hand in Killer7", he really looks up to Coyote and MASK. MASK, who has the power of a hero but still works as an assassin, represents Benevolence. Jean DePaul refers to MASK as a hero to children. Coyote, who is a thief, represents Honesty. In Cloudman, Coyote suddenly reveals some of his past on the TV without any prompting. Kevin, who can run away and hide from battles, represents Courage. In the past, he was the one who manned the front desk of the Union Hotel, making him the first line of defense against threats. Garcian, who hangs back and lets others take the leading role, represents Self-Control. At the end of the game, after the other Smiths are killed, he assumes complete control of himself. Young Harman, who is brutal, represents Justice. He kills Kun Lan and the older Harman for the way they treated the rest of the cast. | |

Anti-Grinding | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_f11c3835 | comment |
Anti-Grinding: You can only process a certain amount of Thick Blood per level, though that amount is usually high enough that you can make use of some grinding. Smile, Part 2 allows a lot blood than any other level in the game - the exact amount to max all six personae out if you've hit the cap in every other level, in fact. The catch is that the only infinitely respawning Smiles who give out large amounts of blood are Broken Smiles, who are notoriously the hardest enemies in the game to get thick blood from. If you find yourself unable to hit their weak points, you have to go through everything else in Smile to respawn all the other enemies, including unlocking and defeating the Final Boss, doing the return visit to the Union Hotel, sitting through the unskippable credits, and going through all of Smile, Part 1 again. | |

Boss Remix: The first phase of the fight against Greg Nightmare is a somber remix of the Elementary School stage (the setting of the second half of the sixth chapter, Smile). | |

War Is Hell | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: Suda 51 states that one of the messages of the game is about the futile, cyclic nature of war. Emphasized by the ending: the entire conflict between Harman and Kunlan is nothing but a game meant to help the two immortals pass the time. The two have even switched roles. | |

Creepy Child | |
| Killer7 (Video Game) / int_f3d5d15f | comment |
Creepy Child: Kess, Susie and Ayame. Susie especially—not only because she's only a head, but because holy crap she's murdered a lot of people! Often for little reason, at that. Love as well, according to Hand in Killer7 which describes her as an "extreme sociopath", although she acts fairly normal in-game. | |

Organ Theft: Organ theft is part of the fourth chapter's plot (Encounter). Made even creepier because the organs are taken from immigrant children and children abducted from a creepy theme park. Plus the things Curtis Blackburn did with the bodies of the girls he killed. | |

R-Rated Opening: The game, within about five minutes of the start, has Dan Smith encounter a hooded man in a blood-splattered hotel. The man turns into a skinless monster, which he shoots in the face, followed by a muttered, "Shit." A couple minutes after that, a woman is blown up from the waist down by another of these monsters. | |

Sequence Breaking: Coburn Elementary School gives you access to nearly the entire level immediately, with the gimmick being gathering information throughout the building to solve the puzzles at the end. If you know all the answers or have a guide on hand, you can skip nearly the entire level and beeline straight to the final battles, turning it into the shortest level in the game outside of Battleship Island. | |

Suicide by Assassin: This turns out to be the plot of the Cloudman chapter.

Hopeless Boss Fight: The game brings two downplayed examples to the table, the first being the fight against the Handsome Men (essentially a series of duels, some of which are impossible to win, and in the long run you only win thanks to one character's 11th-Hour Superpower) and the other being the fight with Greg Nightmare (who sends a group of near-invincible Heaven Smiles at you, who systematically take down six of your personas, leaving Garcian to pick up the Golden Gun and finish Greg off). | |

Go-Karting with Bowser: Harman and Kun Lan and their chess games. Necessary because they're both immortal; since neither can have ultimate victory, they have to settle for getting best two out of three at chess. Or global thermonuclear war. Whichever strikes their fancy. | |
