No More Heroes is the story of Travis Touchdown, a perennially-broke Occidental Otaku who wins a beam katana off of "an Internet auction site" and becomes a part-time assassin to pay for his otaku lifestyle. After taking a job from the mysterious Sylvia Christel, Travis unwittingly becomes the 11th-best assassin in the United States and decides to climb the ranks of the United Assassin's Association the hard way: challenging the ten assassins ranked higher than him, and taking them out one-by-one.Developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and directed by Suda51, the mastermind behind the divisive Killer7, No More Heroes is simultaneously a celebration, parody and deconstruction of sandbox games, American geek culture, and the concept of an Anti-Hero. It juxtaposes the glamorous and high-octane battles of an assassin's lifestyle with the grim reality of a main character who lives in a motel room, roots through dumpsters for collectibles and needs to do menial labour to pay his U.A.A. fees. It gives you a Wide-Open Sandbox and a kickass motorcycle, but also the stark realization that the world Travis lives in is mostly empty and devoid of things he can actually affect; even running down pedestrians is completely ineffective. All that Travis has going for him is his delusional grandeur and self-image as a cool protagonist, and even that is slowly stripped away as the game presents him with the harsh truths of a professional killer, and the fact that his murderous rampage is fueled by nothing more than a shallow need for self-gratification.That said, no game lets you rain down on Mooks like some sort of angry nerd god quite like No More Heroes.It was given a remaster (No More Heroes: Red Zone Edition/Heroes' Paradise) for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, exclusive to the latter in all regions except Japan, based on the belief that its poor sales were due to the Wii being unreceptive to this kind of game. This belief got a dose of reality when the game opened only a little better than the first game (on both systems), and sales legs dropped off even more quickly. Nevertheless, the game is an incremental step up from the original, featuring oodles of bonus content (including bosses from No More Heroes 2) and gameplay tweaks (like allowing you to "stock" your special moves, which addressed the primary criticism of the original's semi-randomized Super Mode feature).A sequel, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, was released on the Wii in 2010.An Android and iOS entry in the series, titled No More Heroes: World Ranker, was released exclusively in Japan at the end of August 2012. This entry allows players to create their own beam-katana-wielding assassin and rise through the UAA ranks via missions, including fights with some of the notable bosses of both the main games.In 2017, Suda announced that he would be directing a new game in the series for the Nintendo Switch, titled Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. In it, Travis gets trapped inside a video game alongside Bad Man, the vengeful father of Bad Girl, and together they must fight their way out. The game launched in January 2019, and it’s is the first game Suda has directed since the first No More Heroes. On October of the same year it received ports for both PC (via Steam) and Playstation 4.At 2019's E3, it was announced during Nintendo's conference that Travis would be starring in a full-fledged No More Heroes III (as opposed to the smaller game that Travis Strikes Again was), to be released on the Nintendo Switch on August 27, 2021. As a leadup to III, the first two games were re-released digitally on the Switch on October 28, 2020. Furthermore, a Mii Swordfighter costume of Travis was released for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on October 13, 2020.

Dying Town
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_1045c71a
comment
Dying Town: Santa Destroy seems to be this, or closer to the small-town version of Vice City. It is generally portrayed as a derelict, seedy place with a menial population and a notable lack of care for education, infrastructure and culture. It is heavily implied that most of the inhabitants remain there simply because they couldn't leave for one reason or another.

Hotter and Sexier: Heroes Paradise is the original game with improved graphics and an extra gamemode called Very Sweet Mode added, which has all the female characters from the original game in a lot skimpier outfits. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing depends on which character being depicted, but it should be noted that this applies to literally all of the female characters. Including Speed Buster, a fat, elderly woman.

Parrying Bullets
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_10d36992
comment
Parrying Bullets: Travis can parry bullets with his beam katana, but doing so eats away at its battery charge (especially if he's blocking an entire clip from a machine pistol). The only exception is Dr. Peace's charge attack, which is powerful enough to send him flying across the arena.

Suplex Finisher
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_110439d6
comment
Suplex Finisher: Travis can perform wrestling moves (the majority of them being different suplex variants) on stunned enemies, including bosses. This is usually followed by Travis' beam katana falling on the fallen enemy. Not only do you learn progressively cooler and cooler suplexes, but each boss has a difficult to set up custom boss suplex, except for the final boss of the first game, who is immune to and reverses any grabs, and any boss in either game who isn't fought in close combat, or who is fought by Henry or Shinobu. Namely, you have access to the following variations: Belly-to-Belly, Captured, Full Nelson, German, Trap, Double Wrist, Tiger among others.

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: The game has a real affinity for modeling a number of its characters after famous personalities. Examples include. Travis Touchdown's physical appearance and antics are based on Johnny Knoxville. Sylvia's design was based on Scarlett Johansson. Henry was modeled after Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis. Travis' mentor Thunder Ryu was based on famous Japanese wrestler Genichiro Tenryu.

Chunky Salsa Rule: During the fight with Bad Girl, getting close to her when she's crying if she has her hand on her bat results in her repeatedly beating your head with her bat until you're dead, no matter how much life you had before. A couple of other bosses have instant-kill attacks as well; Henry's is particularly impressive.

comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Dr. Peace bears a great resemblance to actor Charles Bronson, and is a doctor, a policeman, and an assassin, three roles Bronson was famous for playing. Travis Touchdown's design is heavily based off of Johnny Knoxville... with a lot more otaku thrown in. His design is also reminiscent of Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden in his first appearances in Fight Club. Then there's Sylvia Christel, which is either a Shout-Out to softcore actress Sylvia Kristel or a hell of a coincidence.

Katanas Are Just Better
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_12a22bd8
comment
Katanas Are Just Better: Beam katanas, no less. They're really just called that, since they're more your regular lightsaber, with only Thunder Ryu's D.O.S. and the Tsubaki Mk III that's built out of it even vaguely resembling an actual katana (though both go all-out on that resemblance; the D.O.S. gets an actual wooden sheath, while Travis activates the Mk III before battle by drawing it from his hip in a manner resembling iaijutsu). Death Metal's sword resembles a giant straight razor more than anything else, but is still called a beam katana. Henry is a bit of an inversion however, as his style, or at least the stances, seem to be far more based on Western styles of swordsmanship, and his weapon, the Cross Sabre, looks much more like a claymore. It's worth noting that he's faster and stronger than Travis, and his weapon is parallel to if not greater than yours. Shinobu stands out by using real genuine katana. No crazy electric beams here. She's consistently considered one of the harder bosses to fight as well.

When Bad Girl bats projectiles at you, you can deflect them back, although it's optional. Travis also tries this before the fight with Dr. Peace, but there is more to his gun than his gaudy tastes in coloration.

Bloodless Carnage: The bowdlerised version removes all the blood (despite keeping in the swearing and sexual content) so every enemy killed will instead explode into ash when killed. This also translates into the cutscenes.

Unknown Rematch Conclusion
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_13939eec
comment
Unknown Rematch Conclusion: Travis, previously upset over Henry pulling a Kill Steal to a targeted assassin, gets a chance to defeat Henry himself in an unlockable True Final Boss fight as revenge. This fight concludes as Travis and Henry continue clashing their Beam Katanas while arguing aggressively. When they do decide to put an end to the fight, they go for one more clash to see who lands the final blow... and then the game's credits roll while keeping the last moment of that fight frozen in the background. The outcome isn't revealed until the sequel No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, which takes place three years in the future.

 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: If the Beam Katana runs out of power, then in order to recharge it, Travis has to furiously shake the handle. And he does this while holding it directly in front of him and gyrating his crotch, grunting if you have to do it long enough. It, of course, requires shaking the Wiimote in a similar fashion. Destroyman also fires giants lasers out of his crotch. Speed Buster's weapon, the Buster Launcher, has a barrel extending from its shopping cart base that's maybe fifty feet long—a barrel she shoots particle beams from. As in, a giant phallic objected aimed at the player. Doubles as a stealth pun, as in the Design Materials you can see art of the various phases of her weapon's transformation, from an Egg Mart shopping cart◊, to the shape of a baby chick's head◊, to a completed form◊ resembling a mechanical rooster's head with the barrel extending from the beak.

This Loser Is You: Travis is a 27 year old anime obsessed, professional wrestling watching, video game playing loser who dreams of adventure and getting laid. Even if you become the world's deadliest assassin, you are still a stain of a human being. This might qualify as a deconstruction. What kind of person buys a lightsaber off of ebay and becomes the world's greatest assassin? An otaku, that's who.

All There in the Manual: Literally, when you need info about Travis's Dark Side moves. On a New Game Plus, you can find design art cards. They contain many facts about the characters in the game, including the real names of most of the assassins. And the breed of Travis's cat (Scottish Fold). Also Subverted, as the instruction manual states that Naomi has a mysterious secret about her. All she does in the game is upgrade Travis' beam katana. Either this idea was dropped or Suda51 loves messing with ya. This could also be a possible Metal Gear shout out. Rumors have it that Naomi is in her 60's, which would probably be the secret.

Taunting the Unconscious: Destroyman tricks Travis into shaking hands which puts the latter in range of being electrocuted by the "Destroy Spark". As Travis lays on the ground half conscious, Destroyman breaks into mocking laughter.

Villains Never Lie
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_1b06aa41
comment
Villains Never Lie: Parodied, where the Final Boss Dark Star claims to be protagonist Travis Touchdown's father, and after a moment of trying to remember, Travis seems to remember him. Then Travis' hitherto-unmentioned step-sister Jeane comes out of nowhere to punch through Dark Star's ribcage and remind Travis that no, that guy isn't his father - Travis saw both his real parents die right in front of him as a kid. Dark Star simply liked lying like that to get into his opponents' heads so they'd be unable to focus on the fight, and therefore easier to kill.

David Versus Goliath: Usually, you're fighting someone with far more experience and better weapons than you, on their own turf, on their own terms. Especially true with Letz Shake or it would have been if you actually got to fight him, and Speed Buster. Inverted rather unsettlingly with the Final Boss, where Travis faces off with a completely unarmored and unarmed opponent.

The Tease: Sylvia Christel, almost sadistically so. The person she's teasing is Travis, a bit of an easy target and she easily becomes his Lust Object, convincing him to go along with the fights by promising to sleep with him when he reaches 1st place (she doesn't).

Cruel and Unusual Death: The game features — in cutscenes — disembowelment, vertical bisection, suicide by grenade-in-mouth, another vertical bisection followed by being blown up, an Eye Scream followed by yet another vertical bisection performed by a huge buzzsaw, being TRISECTED, and someone's CROTCH getting PUNCHED through, along with the usual beheadings and impalement in cutscenes and during gameplay. There's also Cranberry Chocolate Sundae, a Limit Break based on the concept of killing as many Mooks this way as possible.

Cute Kitten: Jeane the cat, the closest thing to family our homicidal hero Travis has in Santa Destroy. The player can interact and play with her by selecting the "Jeane" option in Travis' living room. There is absolutely nothing gained by doing this. Try to stop yourself doing it every time you're in the room. One of the jobs in the first game has Travis wondering around picking up cute runaway cats.

Artificial Limbs: Holly Summers has an artificial leg. In addition, Shinobu gets a mechanical replacement for the hand Travis chops off at the end of her fight with him. In Japan, due to Bowdlerization, Shinobu doesn't get her hand cut off at the end of the fight, which led to some confusion about whether or not her losing the hand was canon. This was settled in No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, which confirmed she has a mechanical hand.

Crapsack World: Santa Destroy, as shown through Travis' map of the place. The beach is full of toxic chemicals, there is an old weapons testing ground filled with killer scorpions, the people are actually ashamed to live in the town and all too happy to leave, the job employers send you tips for work at the assassination center disguised as an advertising agency, and the fast food places are garbage. That's not even getting into the Ranked Assassins.

Genre Deconstruction
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_23e32a30
comment
Genre Deconstruction: The game is a deconstruction of the Power Fantasy. The borderline Villain Protagonist is a psychopath who treats real life like a video game, and this might work out for him when he's killing other like-minded individuals, but in-between the intense fights he has to earn enough money to enter the next fight by doing menial jobs. In the action stages he's powerful, but in his day-to-day life he's just an otaku creep - exactly the kind of person who would be playing the game. Even his motivation for killing is initially just money to buy videogames and a half-promise of sex, and his enemies commonly have much more sympathetic backstories than he does - and when he gets attached to them, he has to live with the fact that because of the structure of the game, they must die anyway. Wide-Open Sandbox gets some jabs too, with a open-world city in which there's barely anything to do because no matter how much freedom he has, Travis can't really affect anything in his life.

 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Charging the katana hits tons of enemies—while leaving you extremely open to attack and only dealing about as much damage as two or three quick regular attacks and it uses a lot of energy before the katana is upgraded. The high charge attack is even more impractical since you can't move while charging. Once you get the unlimited energy upgrade though, the low charge attack becomes much more useful to spam. In the "impractical weapon" department, the way Travis' beam katana is built means it should actually be pretty fragile.

No One Should Survive That!

comment
No One Should Survive That!: Travis Touchdown survives several such episodes in the first game and its sequels, one of the most notable occasions being in a cut-scene before his battle with Holly Summers in the first game. He ends up in a pit of sand, and has three hand-grenades dropped directly onto his chest. This merely means he is bounced out of the hole by consecutive explosions, and he continues the game with no lasting ill effects. Every cutscene before a boss fight has him surviving way more than anyone should. During the final battle with Jeanne, she punches through his heart, but he just shrugs it off.

Glass Cannon
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_2f253c94
comment
Glass Cannon: Oddly for the standard Final Boss, Jeane. Her health is relatively low, but she dodges most of your attacks, will counter your grabs, moves really fast and has a large number of unblockable attacks and damaging abilities. The cutscenes actually imply that she isn't even glass, as you'd never win without help. An even straighter example is Speed Buster, who has a Wave-Motion Gun, but dies as soon as you make it to her. A Justified Trope with her: being that her primary weapon is a laser cannon, she's probably not very well versed in close combat. Even if she was, she's shown to be an older, out of shape assassin, so she'd probably not put up much of a fight up close. Shinobu, who makes up for her extreme fragility with ridiculous power and speed. Even her taunt can do significant damage if Travis is careless, and several of her later attacks leave him one hit from death. Doubles as a Wake-Up Call Boss, since the only way to beat her is to out-maneuver her.

 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_303079ba
comment
Phallic Weapon: In this game and its sequels, Travis's Beam Sword recharges through shaking a dynamo within it. The way Travis charges it, however, has him holding the sword in front of his pelvic area, pointing outwards and slightly upwards, and him vigorously shaking it back and forth panting heavily, making it look amazingly like masturbating. As Travis is vulnerable when he's recharging, and the sword's power frequently runs out in the heat of battle, you'll most often see Travis performing this animation in a remote corner, facing a wall. To make it even more obvious, the second game's charge meter for the sword looks like a red exclamation mark with a face that stands erect when the gauge is full and starts to flop more and more the emptier it gets.

Rummage Sale Reject: Travis Touchdown is no doubt a pathetic enough Otaku to deliberately dress this way. At least the single glove seems kinda handy for using his beam katana, but the rest... the player can choose exactly how ridiculous Travis' outfit becomes by buying more clothes (or diving for shirts in Santa Destroy's many dumpsters), all of them awesomely tasteless Otaku wear.

Kick the Dog
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_34dcfc96
comment
Kick the Dog: Most of the later assassins enjoy kicking the nearest canine. Since the viewpoint character isn't exactly a friend to all living things, this is probably there to justify the bad guy's eventual gory deaths. Number 2, Bad Girl, states that she feels no remorse about killing anyone while slaughtering clones for fun, Number 3, Speed Buster, kills a major trainer in a rather messy manner, and Number 7, DestroyMan, cheats so consistently it's remarkable. As a twist, a good bunch do not kick the dog, however.

 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_354f7d1c
comment
There's No Kill like Overkill: After hitting a mook enough times, Travis can perform a special move that decapitates the mook, showering Travis in blood and coins. This becomes practical later in the game — said special move can also decapitate/split in half other mooks nearby, resulting in multiple showers of blood and coins. Once he's been knocked down to half health, Henry gains an unbelievably awesome One-Hit Kill move. He impales Travis, flings him off the beam katana into the sky, at a 45-degree angle, jumps into the air and knocks him straight upwards after he's already a good forty feet up, and when he's high in the sky, leaps up once more, grabs him, hurls him downwards with a bodyslam, and finishes it by descending, standing on his beam katana, to impale Travis again, so hard it sends chunks of pavement flying.

Boss Corridor

comment
Boss Corridor: The hallways preceding the boss fights usually have a full battery and health container (and a wrestling mask in the original game) as well as a convenient save point to help prepare for the upcoming battle. Played more straight in the first game, as there are long corridors that lead up to the fight (and Sylvia calls him via cellphone about the next fight and the chances he has of dying), as opposed to the shorter boss corridors in Desperate Struggle.

Villainous Incest: At the end of the game, Travis (a very dark antihero to begin with) discovers that Jeane (the Final Boss, not his pet cat), the girl he's been searching for and was once romantically involved with is his half-sister. Travis is as squicked out as the player is. Jeane, on the other hand, doesn't seem to mind that it happened. In the end, the two reconcile right before Travis kills Jeane.

End-of-Series Awareness: There are two gags at the end of the game that joke about how it probably won't get a sequel. Including one crack about how the sequel could turn into No More Heroes Forever and be delayed forever and another where a character flat out says "Too bad there will never be a sequel!" All of it was averted, since it was able to get a sequel.

Kill Steal: Henry does this in a cutscene for Letz Shake, the fifth ranked assassin. Jeane does this as well to Dark Star, the first ranked assassin. It should be noted that the association has apparently thought of this ahead of time, however: in both cases, despite Travis not having killed his intended opponent himself (or the person who stole his kill, in Henry's case), Travis is still declared the "winner" and takes their rank.

No Body Left Behind: In the English/uncensored version, the enemies, after being cutting in half, while stay for a few seconds before disappearing, giving enough time for blood geysers to erupt, where as in the Japanese/censored version, they just turn into dust right away. This is noticeable for the bosses. In America, the bosses won't disappear after dying. They'll just sit there, gruesomely dead, where as in the Japan, the bodies will turn to dust when needed. Special notice goes to Holly Summers, whose head gets blown off. In America, the head is gone and you bury her. In Japan, well, it's like in the cartoons where the character has black all over their face. And you still bury her.

Upon approaching an enemy, Travis can execute a One-Hit Kill by following the Action Commands prompt. Blueberry Cheese Brownie: Travis becomes capable of firing Sword Beams that can kill most enemies in a single hit. Strawberry on the Shortcake: Travis's beam katana becomes hypercharged, allowing him to initiate deathblows with a single blow.

Take That, Critics!: Seeing as No More Heroes is in many ways an antithesis and response to killer7, a lot of No More Heroes' gameplay decisions can be seen as maliciously complying to killer7 criticisms. Gamers don't like that you could only move on rails? Now you can go anywhere you want in the city, even though there's nothing to do there. People found the plot too confusing? No More Heroes opens with Travis mentioning that gamers don't have much patience and asking the player if the premise is "short and simple enough" for them.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While most of the assassins match Travis in fighting ability, endurance, or at least the ability to move around and adapt to how he comes at them, the third-ranked assassin Speed Buster has none of these - she's a frail old woman with a Wave-Motion Gun and nothing else. The entire point of the stage is simply getting close enough to take that gun out of commission - once that's dealt with, she doesn't even try to fight Travis because there's nothing she can do. Background material notes that Thunder Ryu's beam katana is a unique design with no power switch, instead activating automatically once it's removed from its sheath. It also notes that this makes it an incredibly dangerous weapon, as much to its user as to its enemies, even just trying to deactivate it by returning it to the sheath: it's a blade of pure energy with no weight outside of the handle itself and no "safe" spot to touch it. Notably, when you acquire his beam katana and turn it in to Naomi to design the completed Tsubaki Mk III, she only borrows its ability to emit a blade without a retractable guide frame while keeping a proper power switch and giving it a stylized handguard to keep Travis from cutting off his fingers.

Inexplicably Awesome: The majority of characters, including Travis. If you're lucky, you'll get a brief snippet of vague backstory for your next assassin, but other than that there's no explanation for the insane mailman superhero with the crotch laser (who even comes back as two separate characters in the sequel despite (or due to) being bisected), the unstable baseball bat-wielding ballerina with an army of gimps, and many other characters. Even the UAA itself is strange and incomprehensible; somehow Sylvia managed to dupe at least 11 dangerous killers (and one loser otaku with a beam katana) into believing they were part of a fictional organization and get them to kill each other. But then in the sequel it's suddenly a real organization again.

Doppelgänger Attack: Death Metal, the Rank 10 Assassin in No More Heroes, produces two doppelgangers when his health gets low enough. They have as much health as he does at that point, making finding the real one a bit of a chore.

A more Downplayed example is with Harvey, where the camera shows his point of view as Travis throws his beam katana at him, it cuts a red line across his vision, and then that line turns black and expands over the entire screen. The next several seconds are entirely black as Harvey complains that he's been blinded.

Serial-Killer Killer: The game's in part all about this sort of thing. While the player character Travis Touchdown is part of a union of assassins, and as such does get the occasional mission to, indeed, assassinate someone, for the most part, his only concern is becoming the highest-ranked assassin in the union by killing off all the higher-ranked ones.

Samurai Shinobi: Shinobu is an Occidental Otaku (a lot like the protagonist), who combines aspects of Ninja and Samurai while living a double life as a schoolgirl (at least until the second game, when she's graduated and become a full-time assassin). Notably, her outfit and fighting style suggests a stereotypical ninja, but she uses a katana and is fond of at least giving lip service to honor and duty (such as avenging her father). It's made clear this is because she's invoking the trope in-universe as part of her aesthetic.

The empty sandbox plays into that, as the only locations you can actually visit are a few nerdy stores and Travis' various jobs.

Media Watchdog: The game parodied the censorship issue by joking that putting anything more extreme into the game would get the game an AO rating (an Adults-Only rating is suicide for a game, because a certain large retailer refuses to stock games with the AO rating). In the dialogue before the final battle, no less. There's also the implication that the game would have to be re-edited if the plot point referenced was actually uttered, thereby delaying the game. To top it off, this is all followed by the line, "You don't want this game to become No More Heroes Forever, do you?" This line is in the original Japanese version as well, since CERO (Japan's equivalent of the ESRB) is similar in how they act. You can slow down the speed so you can hear what is really being said.

Land Mine Goes "Click!": Travis encounters a lot of these during the beach mission. Since he perpetually carries the Idiot Ball, this results in him stepping on several mines in-cutscene, resulting in the "click," then getting blown up. Luckily, he's strangely unharmed. The last one makes fun of this, as he sees the mine, steps over it with a chuckle... and steps on a buried one. "FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" BOOM.

Painting the Medium: When Travis gets a call on his cell phone, it comes through the Wii Remote's speaker instead of the TV's speakers. As such, the volume is (in theory) lower and thus you're holding the Wii Remote to your ear as Travis holds his cell phone to his. In practice, the voice coming through the remote is surprisingly loud — Sylvia has No Indoor Voice. Everything that happens once you finally make it to the final ranked battle. The poor, unfortunate fourth wall gets painted, destroyed, rebuilt, destroyed again, and then the pieces get repainted.

Gotta Catch Them All: The game has several collectibles in both the overworld and the rank stages. The most notable case, however, is the cards: Only the first 50 can be found in the first playthrough (and all of them are in the rank stages), and they're based on purely fictional wrestlers. In the New Game Plus, 100 more cards are added, and they're based on ranked assassins and supporting characters; some of these extra cards aren't found on the rank stages but on the mainland of Santa Destroy, so Travis has to look for them extensively in order to complete the collection.

Jumped at the Call: Travis Touchdown is an otaku who spends 95% of his time watching wrestling tapes, various anime, and occasionally going out and slaughtering en masse. He literally buys a beam katana off of eBay, then when a random woman in a bar asks him to decapitate someone with it, is only too happy to do so.

Flash Step
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_53c37297
comment
Flash Step: In the Final Boss battle, Jeane is capable of streaking around the battlefield in a decidedly Dragon Ball Z-esque manner. While this is likely utilized to show off just how patently nasty and tough the boss is in addition to disorienting the player, it's worth noting that you have no trouble keeping locked on to and tracking the boss's movements; Travis is capable of blocking every bullet fired from a full Uzi clip, after all. Travis himself can do this by pressing a direction in the control stick right after guarding an attack. From his perspective, he just does a regular dodge in Bullet Time.

comment
Suspicious Video-Game Generosity: A health pack, toilet, and sword-energy refill are awaiting Travis before every Boss Battle. Another tell is that Travis' informant, Sylvia, will always call him on his phone (with her voice even heard on the mic if you're playing the Wii version), telling him to get ready (like going to the bathroom, which is game's save point) for upcoming boss. The trope is also justified, since the boss fights are pre-arranged duels.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Bad Girl, the number 2 ranked assassin, sometimes collapses to the ground and starts crying. Sometimes, she's genuinely crying, meaning you can get some free hits in. More often than not, though, it's a facade, and if you fall for it, she will One-Hit Kill you. The trick is to see if she's holding her bat: if she is, steer clear, and if she's not, go nuts.

Shinobu, who makes up for her extreme fragility with ridiculous power and speed. Even her taunt can do significant damage if Travis is careless, and several of her later attacks leave him one hit from death. Doubles as a Wake-Up Call Boss, since the only way to beat her is to out-maneuver her.

Sword Fight: A number of the Ranking Fights in this game and its sequels are of the good ol' fashioned "One-on-one sword fight" variety, albeit with laser swords and Mexican Luchador wrestling thrown in. Off the top of the head, the battles with Death Metal, Shinobu, Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarskii, Dark Star, and Henry in the first game are all sword duels.

Save-Game Limits
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_5d9ce92c
comment
Save-Game Limits: The games use restrooms as save points. The problem? In rank missions, these are only found right before their concluding boss battles, so you'll have to survive until then. In the first game, outside the missions, the only place to save (and thus the only default resuming point in your playthrough) is the bathroom located within Travis' motel room; with the massive city Santa Destroy is, it can be tedious to navigate through it to access the assassination jobs, part-time sidequests, and the many collectible items scattered, and then make your way back to the motel to save all your progress (even when you're using your motorbike to drive). The game also resumes from the latest save file used (for this same reason, it forces Automatic New Game when it's booted for the first time), so you have to manually switch to another file after resuming the current one). This is alleviated in the sequels: No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle eliminates the need to traverse the city, giving you access to all activities from a menu; because No More Heroes III brings back the explorable overworld, it adds multiple restrooms that, upon being repaired, serve as helpful Save Points. And in these sequels, the inconvenience over file resuming is eliminated by giving you the option to choose which file to load from the title screen's menu (and there are more of them as well: ten in the second and twenty in the third, compared to the first's mere four).

You Kill It, You Bought It: In this system, when an assassin kills a higher ranking assassin, he gains the slain assassin's rank. Unfortunately Travis doesn't realize the downside of that - he'll be a target for every other up-and-coming assassin - until Sylvia tells him after he kills the tenth-ranked. This convinces him that the only way out is simply to get rid of them all.

Instant Costume Change: When Travis arrives in Destroyman's arena to face him for his spot in the assassin rankings, he finds him wearing his civilian outfit, a normal postman uniform. Destroyman asks Travis to turn around just for a moment so he can change, and Travis complies. The moment Travis turns his back to him, Destroyman fires his Wave-Motion Gun, and Travis just barely manages to dodge it in time. When Travis turns, he sees Destroyman has already changed into his outfit in an instant.

Permanently Missable Content: The collectible cards scattered around in each of the ranking matches are permanently missable once you finish that level. The first time through is not a problem, since they're just trading cards of fake Mexican wrestlers, but in New Game Plus, you lose concept art of the assassin from the current stage, so there's no chance for 100% Completion. Of course, you can always just start another New Game Plus.

Edge Gravity: Contributes to the Rank 6 boss. You two battle on a beach, which she has filled with pitfall traps. When you run over one the first time, Travis falls in and has to climb out fast before a grenade the boss tosses in goes off. Once the pit is exposed, however, it has no edge gravity - running into it forces another climbing session, as does running too close to it. You cannot run into the ocean. You can drive into it, the game takes you back to the motel.

The second ending, which is only made available after you buy all the beam katana upgrades, involves you killing one more boss - the same boss that cheated you out of one of your own boss fights, the putative endgame boss being a Anticlimax Boss.

Shockwave Stomp: Bad Girl, a dainty brat with a penchant for hitting men around the head with a baseball bat, can perform this move in battle. Jeane can also do it despite being very lightweight.

Improbable Weapon User: Death Metal has a giant katana that transforms from something resembling a briefcase, Destroyman has a laser codpiece, Holly wields a shovel and fires rockets out of her prosthetic leg, Letz Shake has a giant earthquake-maker, complete with a Brain in a Jar, Speed Buster has a shopping cart/Wave-Motion Gun, Bad Girl has a baseball bat and gimps (she attacks by hitting gimps hard enough to send them flying at Travis which he can hit back or land and serve as regular mooks), and Dark Star pulls a laser whip shaped like a dragon's tail out of his helmet.

Scary Scorpions: The game has a minigame where Travis has to scoop up scorpions while avoiding stings. Their speed and agility will be determined by their color, with the blue ones being the hardest (but also the most valuable score-wise). It's recommended to only play this minigame if you've unlocked the sprint skill.

The Lost Woods: The Forest of Bewilderment, which makes up for the second half of the Rank 1 stage. It's an illusory forest (the place Travis reaches to after the highway chase sequence in the first half) with branching paths. Choosing the wrong way will take him back to the start, but the spirit of his late mentor guides him by pinpointing the correct paths. Interestingly, the boss (Jeane, who ends up killing the 1st Rank assassin) is fought in a Shifting Sand Land battlefield.

 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_6ee0d388
comment
Marathon Boss: The normal final boss, Jeane, takes a very long time to wear down, especially on Bitter difficulty. And each time she takes a certain amount of damage, she'll reduce the diameter of the battlefield, forcing Travis to focus on evading her attacks and only retaliating when there's a reliable window. The True Final Boss, Henry, on Bitter difficulty, can take nearly a thousand hits before dying. You generally can do less than ten hits off a dark step (the timing for which is tighter in this fight than in any other in the game). Trying to exploit his normal openings will land you maybe three hits at a time, and a high chance of getting countered by something nasty.

But Not Too Foreign: Sylvia Christel is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed half-Japanese, half-Ukrainian bombshell raised in France but United States resident. This is evidenced solely by her French accent and a single random card that can only found in a New Game+. Her name, quite fittingly for such a sexy and seductive character, is also a shout out to the French classic "Emmanuelle" whose part was played by actress... Sylvia Kristel.

Money Grinding: The filler play between bosses, since challenging the next ranked assassin requires paying a certain amount of money, which will be steeper the higher the rank is; it's lampshaded as well. This requires playing the Side Jobs and Assassination Gigs repeatedly, in particular if you're also investing in clothes, katana blades and upgrades.

100% Completion: Going so Over the Top in this regard it's not funny, the game features a set of "trading cards" that the player can collect. There are 50 cards on the first run through of the game, each bearing the picture of a wrestler's mask. There are in reality a total of 150 cards in the game, which must be replayed at least twice from clear files to achieve this (due to the later 100 being exclusive to the New Game Plus. The game also has the numerous purchasable clothes, the gold medal ranks in all sidequests (side jobs, assassination gigs and One-Hit-Point Wonder challenges), the training lessons from Thunder Ryu, and the 49 Lovikov Balls to earn the seven unique abilities from Lovikov in his bar. Last, but far from least, you have the purchasable lightsabers and their upgrades (you even need to buy the most expensive lightsaber to unlock the True Final Boss). This all fits in with the game's over-the-top nature, as the "hero" is an obsessive otaku.

Too Awesome to Use: Anarchy In The Galaxy, the ability you get for hitting 777 on the slot machine. It instantly kills every non-boss enemy in the room (but does zero damage to bosses), but aside from being extremely rare (you'll usually see no more than one a playthrough), you get a 10,000 dollar bonus per use for holding onto it when you kill the boss (which gets even higher on New Game Plus), making it even harder to want to use it.

Left Hanging: The game really ends with just Travis Touchdown and Henry striking each other by the Santa Destroy flag. This leaves many things to consider, such as what the UAA really is, who Travis's parents were, who Darkstar was, and, of course, if the events affected the video game's real world or if it really was Silvia's daughter Jeane day dreaming about a picture. Some, but not all, of these questions are answered in No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.

Gainax Ending
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_82accf22
comment
Gainax Ending: It's played for laughs, but that doesn't make it any less gainaxy. Travis starts learning of his family history and real reasons for fighting right about when the fourth wall disappears for good. He goes home and gets attacked by somebody who looks suspiciously like Garcian Smith while on the toilet, when Henry shows up, kills Not-Garcian and fights Travis because reasons. After the boss battle, they run down the street talking about how they can't escape from the game, before clashing blades again. Meanwhile, Sylvia and her daughter, who is the third character in the game named Jeane, are admiring a painting of said event. Most of the plot is still vague at this point, and Sylvia taunts the player about how there won't be a sequel to clear it up, before the words "TO BE CONTINUED" appear a few screens later.

Inherently Funny Words: Killing enemies occasionally causes them to shout "My spleen!" as they die. See also some of the luchadore mask cards. Clearly someone recognized the comedy in a name like "La Guerra, Jr." and ran with it, because "Jr." recurs several times in the card collection and keeps getting funnier. It's Truth in Television though, as many Luchadore names are passed on this way. 'Hijo de ____', '_______ Jr.' are very common things to see in a Luchadore name.

Life Meter: Travis' health is represented by an 8-bit heart, with each "pixel" being a unit of health (though if his health is upgraded, some of the pixels change color to represent more than one health unit.) Enemy life meters are a ring of "pixels" around the enemy, with each pixel getting smaller in a clockwise pattern as the enemy takes damage.

It is there where he meets John Harnet, a seemingly-humble man who likes to act as a superhero. But that man is an assassin, and after fooling Travis twice with an Electric Joybuzzer he enters into character and changes his clothes to those of his superhero persona, Destroyman.

Surreal Humor: The game features an Excuse Plot involving a Carnival of Killers and injects it with some downright bizarre humor. Your opponents in the first game alone include a mad scientist with an earthquake machine operated by a Brain in a Jar who gets taken out by your rival in the middle of a cut-scene, an old bag lady whose shopping cart turns into a Wave-Motion Gun, and a creepy woman-child who attacks with sports equipment and an army of gimps.

Braggart Boss: Destroyman. As a regular person, he's not too remarkable, but as soon as he puts on the "superhero" clothes, he prepares a triumphant presentation of himself for the battle. He calls his attacks by name, and overall pretends to be more than he actually is (note that he's only ranked 7th in the UAA).

Deconstruction: The game plays out as a mockery of the Excuse Plot and how messed up (an assassin) and simple ("I just wanna be #1") someone would have to be to go through with the kind of violence found in video games. It gets to the point where Travis fights his brother Henry while Henry openly mocks how Travis doesn't even know why they're fighting. The game also takes great pains to show how videogames are not like real life at all, and trying to project your videogame fantasies onto reality would be horribly messed up. Note that most of the "levels" Travis slaughters his way through are just dingy, run-down places like subways or construction sites, and the whole mood of these areas evokes a very "Snuff-film" feeling.

Invulnerable Attack: Travis is invulnerable while executing a charged attack. It's mostly useless throughout the game, because none of the charged attacks last very long, and they're a huge drain on your weapon's power... until you get the Infinity +1 Sword and its power upgrades. It comes with a charged combo and the upgrades give it infinite energy, making it game-breaking, especially in subsequent playthroughs. Shinobu's special move. Get hit, and you'll be knocked down to three hit points.

Wham Episode: The game has a few of these, including the rank 6 (Travis sympathizes with his opponent, beginning to see that killing people isn't a game... but she kills herself because someone has to win), 5 (Travis doesn't get to fight his opponent at all - a strange man in a tux drops in, one-shots him, and walks away), and 3 (Thunder Ryu dies) battles. But the rank 1 battle is the most shocking of all. The entire UAA was a scam designed by Sylvia to extort money out of Travis. He goes out to fight Rank 1 anyway, only for the Rank 1 assassin, Dark Star, to be killed by a strange woman - who happens to be Travis's ex Jeane. Who is also Travis's sister.

Half the Man He Used to Be: Travis can chop enemies in half with the finishing blow. Travis does this vertically to Speed Buster in a cutscene after defeating her in the PAL version of the game (in the US version he decapitates her). Henry finishes off an assassin who came after Travis horizontally in the ending. Travis also cuts Destroyman cleanly in two vertically. He somehow returns in the sequel as a pair of cyborgs, each half of his biological body supplemented by a robot half.

Corrupted Character Copy
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_922ec657
comment
Corrupted Character Copy: The game has two of the same character (namely, Dante), in the form of Travis Touchdown and Helter Skelter. Helter Skelter is a jab at Dante's nature as an overly-edgy broody Bishōnen hero, being an albino with two guns that shoot bullets and missiles and have retractable bayonets. The trailer initially builds him up as the protagonist until Travis kills him, and in the game proper Travis muses that he can't decide whether Helter was "the shit or just plain shit". Travis Touchdown has the red coat, the cool sword, the motorbike, and the brother for a rival, but Dante's love of conventionally "cool" things like rock music replaced by nerdier interests like anime and video games, and his roguish attitude is more aggressive and vulgar than Dante's.

Fast-Forward Gag
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_9305e069
comment
Fast-Forward Gag: One late game conversation is fast forwarded; slowed down it reveals father-daughter incest. The game hints ("It's impossible, it'll only jack up the age rating of this game even further") that the conversation was fast-forwarded to avoid a higher rating, but this isn't actually the case: Suda51 states that it was actually sped up due to Rule of Funny... that, and the dialogue is a fairly lengthy Infodump. Travis' shocked reactions are priceless. Of course, whether the ESRB ever listened to a slowed-down version, and if they didn't, how they would have reacted to it, is a mystery for the ages.

Phlebotinum Breakdown: At one point in the game, an enemy sets off the sprinklers when he sees Travis coming. The water shorts out his beam katana's battery, and a segment follows where Travis, being electrocuted, must run a gauntlet of enemies to reach the room with the sprinkler controls. Even after the sprinklers are turned off, you have to recharge the katana, though the game does give you a Full Battery power-up.

Inescapable Ambush: The game does this during most boss fights, and in some Mook Fights as well. The most annoying one being during the 1st-ranked Assassin fight, where the border is a glowing serpent-like dragon, that shrinks the arena during the fight twice. As your opponent is a martial-arts master with a lot of very fast dash moves, this makes the fight a frustrating experience to say the least.

comment
Black Blood: The Japanese and European releases of the game turn all the blood black, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't close to being a playable Tarantino movie. A scene involves the sequence where, after defeating a woman in battle, she commits honourable suicide by depinning a grenade and holding it in her mouth, with predicable results. Since, just before, she told the main character that she was attracted to him, he awkwardly hugs her dead, still-standing, headless body. In the censored version, her head and shoulders are still attached, but completely black, ruining the impact.

Beware the Superman: A recurring antagonist throughout the mainline games is Destroyman, a superhero-themed contract killer who really puts the "ass" in "assassin". He returns in the second game as a pair of cyborgs after being bisected, and in the third game has a subplot where he's a hired terrorist trying to Take Over the World with mass-produced copies of himself.

Crocodile Tears: Bad Girl has an attack that utilizes this. At any point during her boss fight, she will stop and cry on the floor. If the player attacks her while she is fake crying, she will attack the player with her bat with such a savage attack it might as well be a one-hit kill (though the player can survive if it has almost full health). However, she isn't faking all the time, she is, after all, fighting you while blindingly drunk, and if both of her hands are on her face, she is genuinely crying, but if she has one hand in her face and another in her weapon, it's a trick.

American Kirby Is Hardcore: The American box art of the first game has Travis Touchdown holding his beam katana against a blank white backdrop with an aggressive look. The European and Japanese box art has Travis standing in the streets of Santa Destroy with a cocky smile on his face and an arm around Sylvia's waist. The box art for the Updated Re-release is like a hybrid of the two, depicting a smiling Travis standing in front of a blood red background holding his beam katana (which is emitting lightning) and surrounded by women (Shinobu, Holly Summers, Bad Girl and Sylvia Christel).

Foreshadowing: Going through the game a second time around reveals hints about Jeane, and Travis becoming an assassin in order to kill her, such as the "promise" Travis mentions after killing Death Metal, the remarks about Travis' parents just before he fights Harvey and the song Dr. Peace sings, "The Virgin Child Makes Her Wish Without Feeling Anything", echoes Jeane's backstory. The introductory boss fight against Death Metal is overlaid with an Inner Monologue by Travis, who at first imagines himself in the seemingly glamorous life of his accomplished opponent before slowly realizing that not only may it be too much, it actually might be a trap into his own downfall with no way out. By this point in time in the story, Travis is largely more interested in being number 1 of the UAA before the game really starts playing its deconstructive hand, so in retrospect, this moment reveals that even by the start of the game, a faint part of him is aware that he might be in for a world much darker than he expected. Sylvia on the entry fee to the UAA. Turns out that she is ripping Travis off with his money.

Made of Iron: Travis can survive things that would otherwise be fatal, especially in cutscenes. These particularly daring feats include being tossed around with lasers, being blown up, beaten savagely, being blown up, his sister thrusting her hand into his rib cage, and being blown up. This is arguably the only thing Travis has on his opponents. Several characters use beam katanas, which often are better looking and/or stronger than Travis'. In fact, after some of the more brutal beatings, some of his opponents automatically assume he's already dead. And then this is Subverted with Bad Girl beating Travis to death with a baseball bat if you fall for her trap. Destroyman somehow survived being cut in half.

Changing Clothes Is a Free Action: At first, it seems like this trope would be subverted by Destroyman, who has to ask Travis to turn around so he can change. However, this is only so Destroyman can get a cheap shot at him, as he has somehow managed to change from a mailman uniform to head-to-toe spandex in about the space of a second.

Being The Tease, she asks him to rub oil on her while she briefs him on the next mission and since Travis is extremely horny, he all but jumps at the opportunity to get his hands on his Lust Object. He even goes so far as to get his hands close to her inner thigh, but Sylvia shoves him off then, reminding him that she won't sleep with him until he's the number 1 assassin.

This is a One-Hit Kill.

Double-Meaning Title
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_a4905771
comment
Double-Meaning Title: The game is a heavily deconstructive satire on the Anti-Hero, with its protagonist, Travis Touchdown, being merely one immature, bloodthirsty miscreant in a world of violent assassins that — while some may be played more sympathetically than others — are certainly still not "good" people. In that sense, the world has "no more heroes" to really uphold a traditional moral bedrock (which poses an interesting series of twists that causes Travis' philosophies to shift anyway).

Blown Across the Room: Used pretty blatantly (although the bullet is explosive) in the scene where Travis confronts Dr. Peace. For the sake of drama, Travis hits one of Peace's bullets with his Beam Katana and is rocketed into the wall with such force that his body smashes an outline into it.

Bowdlerization
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_a49914aa
comment
In Japan, due to Bowdlerization, Shinobu doesn't get her hand cut off at the end of the fight, which led to some confusion about whether or not her losing the hand was canon. This was settled in No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, which confirmed she has a mechanical hand.

Saw a Woman in Half: The Rank 4 stage's (second) bossnote the first being a large mechanoid entity Travis fights in a dream is a stage magician who fights Travis at his show; before the fight, one of the two tricks he does involves cutting a woman in half — with a buzzsaw. He later uses the saw in an attempt to bisect Travis vertically and it plays a role in his own demise.

Mood Whiplash
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: The bizarre way the game operates simultaneously on Rule of Cool, Rule of Funny, and Rule of Fun inevitably leads to this. The most jarring example is a moment where the mood goes from Travis whining comically about how his entrance fee to fight Dr. Peace went to giving Peace a fine night on the town... then transitioning seamlessly to a serious discussion of how Dr. Peace's life as an assassin and dirty Private Investigator has permanently estranged him from his ex-wife and daughter, how he couldn't even enjoy the high-class meal due to his own daughter never looking him in the eye, and how both he and Travis are ruthless sociopaths "addicted to blood". Then Travis tries to play baseball with one of Dr. Peace's bullets and gets blown into the wall behind him, just to bring it back down to comical again. And then there's the final battle, where Travis confronts his former lover and realizes she was the killer of his parents, then demands to hear her tragic backstory. She refuses, saying "It's too horrible. It alone would jack up the age rating of this game even further." Travis then gets her speech past the censors by fast-forwarding it, making her voice high-pitched and squeaky, accompanied by his comical reaction shots.

Infinity +1 Sword
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e
comment
Travis is invulnerable while executing a charged attack. It's mostly useless throughout the game, because none of the charged attacks last very long, and they're a huge drain on your weapon's power... until you get the Infinity +1 Sword and its power upgrades. It comes with a charged combo and the upgrades give it infinite energy, making it game-breaking, especially in subsequent playthroughs.

Travis' blue-colored Beam Katana actually handles this in a sensible and relatively realistic manner. The hilt extends a "cap" to terminate the beam, and the beam is projected along a central filament strung between the hilt and the cap. The downside is that this makes the Beam Katana look like nothing so much as a Fluorescent Light-bulb Of Death. Then again, given the game's sense of humor, this was probably intentional.

Rule of Seven: The game references Killer7 with the Lovikov Balls, as there are 49 of them in total (7 x 7), seven are required for a new ability, of which there are seven as well (each of them based on one of Emir's personalities from Killer 7). Also, one of the Dark Side powers are enabled when the jackpot (which appears every time an enemy is killed) hits 777.

"No Peeking!" Request: When Travis arrives in Destroyman's arena to face him for his spot in the assassin rankings, he finds him wearing his civilian outfit, a normal postman uniform. Destroyman asks Travis to turn around just for a moment so he can change, and Travis complies. The moment Travis turns his back to him, Destroyman fires his Wave-Motion Gun, and Travis just barely manages to dodge it in time. When Travis turns, he sees Destroyman has already changed into his outfit in an instant, making it clear the whole thing was a charade to get a cheap shot.

Disappointed by the Motive: Most of the assassins have something behind them, some reason for what they do or at least some sort of emotional core. Bad Girl just kills people because she wants to. Travis is not prepared for this, and his reaction is stripped of all his usual snark.

comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Everything about the game, right down to the name "Travis Touchdown," is meant to evoke different emotions from Japanese and American gamers. It is supposed to be a linear, pseudo-sandbox game in part because of how differently Japanese and American gamers react to the concept. As for the name "Travis Touchdown," Suda 51 has explicitly said the name was chosen because it sounds like an over-the-top action hero to Japanese audiences but positively goofy to American ones.

Soundtrack Dissonance

Soundtrack Dissonance: A surprisingly touching, well-sung ballad precedes the 9th rank fight and plays over the end credits in the normal ending (though "normal" fight music plays over the actual 9th fight). There is also an instrumental version of the song that plays in Gold Town, the bar where Lovikov is. (It should be noted that the lyrics to this song, 'the virgin child makes her wish without feeling anything', are actually very dark, but that this trope still occurs due to the upbeat melody of the song). Heavenly Star, the incredibly sweet Genki Rockets song that plays in shops and is available in music video form (complete with birds, sparkles, and rainbows) in the Japanese and European versions of the game, strikes a stark contrast with the game's content and overall theme.

Alas, Poor Villain: Jeane. It's one of the few kills Travis isn't proud of. Holly Summers, made worse because Travis was willing to let her live but she committed suicide instead because as she states, "Assassins must die when they lose". Her last request is that Travis never forget her and Travis states that he had loved her soul before burying her. The last seconds of her life has her admitting that she herself wanted to fantasize having a normal life where a knight in shining armor saved her, before smiling while she puts a grenade in her mouth, while Travis is screaming for her not to go through with this.

Save the Villain
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_ac560dc4

Save the Villain: A variation regarding Destroyman. Travis Touchdown has already dealt a fatal wound to his opponent by impaling him through the chest with his beam katana. Nevertheless, Destroyman begs Travis to help him. Travis, who has already fallen for Destroyman's tricks a couple of times before, rips the weapon violently out of his chest. As his final vindictive act, Destroyman whips around and opens fire on Travis with his nipple-mounted machine guns; he suffers his Karmic Death immediately thereafter, however, as Travis simply cleaves Destroyman from crotch to skull while bullets whiz past on either side of him. He comes back later in Desperate Struggle, but it's Shinobu who dispatches him in that case.

Oh, Crap!: On the path to Holly Summers, nearly every barricade Travis destroys has a landmine behind it, to which Travis always winds up stepping on it and gets knocked back from the explosion. The final barricade has a landmine Travis nearly steps on, but he spots it and moves his foot ahead of it. He winds up stepping on a hidden land mine and realizes he is going to get blown up yet again. If you fall onto one of the many sand pits Holly digs and don't get out in time, it will explode and kill Travis.

Final Boss
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_ad4a45be
comment
Oddly for the standard Final Boss, Jeane. Her health is relatively low, but she dodges most of your attacks, will counter your grabs, moves really fast and has a large number of unblockable attacks and damaging abilities. The cutscenes actually imply that she isn't even glass, as you'd never win without help. An even straighter example is Speed Buster, who has a Wave-Motion Gun, but dies as soon as you make it to her. A Justified Trope with her: being that her primary weapon is a laser cannon, she's probably not very well versed in close combat. Even if she was, she's shown to be an older, out of shape assassin, so she'd probably not put up much of a fight up close.

Wrestler in All of Us: Using wrestling moves is quite effective during most of the boss fights, taking off a good chunk of the victim's health. The fact that they don't work on Jeane, the normal final boss makes her as hard as Henry, the Perfect Run Final Boss. This is justified though; Travis apparently has dabbled in wrestling in Calgary and at the beginning of the game is still very friendly with his old teacher, the legendery former pro Thunder Ryu.

Remixed Level: Two of the assassin stages take place in the baseball stadium of Santa Destroy. However, whereas the earlier stage is mainly set within the corridors of the stadium and places the boss in the field, the later one does it the other way around. Two of the assassin stages require Travis to cross Santa Destroy's interstate road. But in the first one, Travis is boarding a terminal's bus to have a comfy travel... until the mooks start attacking him while the bus drives, anyway; the second time, Travis has to retrieve his stolen motorbike in the avenue whose road forks into the interstate route, and upon doing so he proceeds to drive across it on his own while dispatching all the mooks that appear along the way, eventually reaching a different destination; this turns out to be the final level.

Pink Is Erotic
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_b25547b1
comment
Pink Is Erotic: Bad Girl is introduced bludgoning clones in S&M gear with a bat and is a representation of the dominance and submission fetish. Bad Girl is given a lot of sexual references and she's completely shameless and honest about her enjoyment of killing, unlike Travis who justifies his killings as desiring to be the best. The fact that the clones are wearing S&M gear implies that she takes sexual gratification from killing and the fight against her includes a raunchy theme called "Pleather for Breakfast". After the fight, Travis stabs her with his katana while saying "Naughty girls need spankings." but she refuses to submit and continues to beat Travis until he surrenders out of pity. Accepting his surrender, Bad Girl lays on top of Travis, recreating a sexual position and her final words almost sounds like she's climaxed from Travis's surrender. Her outfits have a pink color scheme and her fight against Travis has her wear a pink frilly dress.

Tennis Boss: When Bad Girl bats projectiles at you, you can deflect them back, although it's optional. Travis also tries this before the fight with Dr. Peace, but there is more to his gun than his gaudy tastes in coloration. Can be done in both Dr. Peace's battle (Slashing back his explosive quick draw) and Destroyman (Knocking back Destroy Cannon). Both are of course optional.

No OSHA Compliance: Even by Santa Destroy standards, Body Slam Beach is one massive health code nightmare. According to the town guide, the water is so highly contaminated from industrial waste and sewage, that beachgoers only come to sunbathe. However, the U.S. military also used the beach to test land mines, and there are still active mines buried in the sand.

To Be a Master: Travis Touchdown's quest in the game is to be the greatest assassin. Of course, the whole thing is quite thoroughly deconstructed. For starters, Travis is a deluded Otaku Blood Knight who may qualify as a Villain Protagonist, and the entire thing is a con set up by Sylvia.

Contract on the Hitman: By signing the contract, you get pay and your next assassin's location. Also an example of But Thou Must!, as you don't have the option NOT to sign it. The game forces you to do so in order to continue playing. The contract will stay on screen until you sign it, and there's no other way to make it go away.

Also Subverted, as the instruction manual states that Naomi has a mysterious secret about her. All she does in the game is upgrade Travis' beam katana. Either this idea was dropped or Suda51 loves messing with ya. This could also be a possible Metal Gear shout out. Rumors have it that Naomi is in her 60's, which would probably be the secret.

Outside-the-Box Tactic: Shinobu on Bitter mode, while already a hard boss in Sweet and Mild, becomes insane dodging every other attack including your killing blows and using her own even if you win the bladelock and you can only hit her for two or three hits at most in each opening. Charging the katana in low stance, normally not very useful even with the infinite power upgrade that removes its excessive cost, will make short work of her.

Final-Exam Boss: Henry is the pinnacle of real difficulty. You have to manage to learn how to Dark Step, emergency evade, and slash the hell out of him. He manages to be completely fair, despite his various unblockable attacks and his dreaded yet awesome One-Hit Kill, plus the Boss Remix "We Are Finally Cowboys" blaring in the background. The game actually makes sure that you're (hopefully) at the top of your game by requiring you to attain all beam katanas before facing off against him.

Inner Monologue
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_c4c9bb40
comment
The introductory boss fight against Death Metal is overlaid with an Inner Monologue by Travis, who at first imagines himself in the seemingly glamorous life of his accomplished opponent before slowly realizing that not only may it be too much, it actually might be a trap into his own downfall with no way out. By this point in time in the story, Travis is largely more interested in being number 1 of the UAA before the game really starts playing its deconstructive hand, so in retrospect, this moment reveals that even by the start of the game, a faint part of him is aware that he might be in for a world much darker than he expected.

 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_c601fc37
comment
Professional Killer: Travis Touchdown. His weapon of choice (a Beam Katana), impressive feats of physical skill and endurance, occasional displays of chivalry and honor, and overall competence are very assassin-like. But his Perpetual Poverty, complete lack of stealth or subtlety, and overall tastelessness push him more towards the hitman category. In addition, being an assassin seems to be the occupation of choice in Travis's world. It's a highly glamorized job with lots of good publicity; most of the people Travis meets are either assassins, trying to be assassins, or working directly with one. Considering the sheer numbers of these guys and the impressive hits they accomplish (the moment someone acquires any sort of fame, a rival will send an assassin to kill him or her, unless that someone is an assassin or has hired one as a bodyguard), it's a wonder there's anyone left.

With This Herring: Played straight, justified and somewhat averted. Travis begins the game fairly broke money-wise. Why? To buy your trusty lightsaber beam katana Blood Berry of course. While Blood Berry is a powerful weapon, it pales in comparison to the later weapons you can get (especially The Tsubaki Mk. 3). The shops DO charge you full price on everything and Sylvia explicitly tells you you gotta do part-time jobs ("as a third-rater", so the job guy said) to pay the entry fee to the next matches, beam katana upgrades, accessories, etc., etc. You're hardly saving the world though, just killing a bunch of guys for money.

Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him?: In the ending, a would-be assassin foregoes the whole "ranking match" setup and simply attacks Travis while he's on the toilet. In the Letz Shake cutscene, Travis starts charging Shake towards the end of his weapon's start-up sequence, while Shake helpfully gives a "T-Minus X seconds!" countdown. He doesn't quite make it before it fires, but Henry just comes out of nowhere and cuts the whole thing in half.

Boss Dissonance
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_cb99d605
comment
Boss Dissonance: The levels are all rather easy with very basic enemies, with occasional issues with mass gunfire. The boss battles were the obvious focus, where all the work was put in, although it varies from boss to boss.

Environmental Symbolism

comment
Environmental Symbolism: Throughout the game, but most notably in the Final Boss fight with Jeane, where both you and your opponent are motivated by revenge and Travis' unusually eloquent last words before the fight starts are "Vengeance begets vengeance." Appropriately, you and your enemy are in a ring made from an energy-dragon-sword-thing that looks like a representation of the Ouroborus and shrinks as the fight progresses.

Impossibly Cool Weapon: The final five-ranked assassins in the first game come at you with a portable brain-powered earthquake generator, a magic show, a Wave-Motion Gun disguised as a shopping cart, the aforementioned lightsaber dragon, and... a wooden baseball bat. And the assassin who totes that last one is by far the deadliest of the bunch.

Bullet Catch: Travis has no problem blocking any bullets flying at him — even ones fired from behind him — so long as you hold that lock-on button for dear life. In the fight against Dr. Peace, he plays baseball with a bullet and his Beam Katana. Subverted, though, in that he didn't realize it was an exploding shell and gets tossed into the backdrop.

Sword and Fist: Travis Touchdown uses a combination of sword strikes, unarmed strikes, and wrestling moves. His non-sword attacks were used to stun or break a guard of an enemy or boss, so you could pull off a grapple that either does large damage or instant kills a mook. The damage output for his punch attacks were minimal, but you could charge it to stun targets faster.

Helter Skelter is a jab at Dante's nature as an overly-edgy broody Bishōnen hero, being an albino with two guns that shoot bullets and missiles and have retractable bayonets. The trailer initially builds him up as the protagonist until Travis kills him, and in the game proper Travis muses that he can't decide whether Helter was "the shit or just plain shit".

Its equivalent of Everything Fades is dead bodies vanishing in a puff of blood — apparently, any non-major character who dies simply explodes into a smoky cloud of blood. This was only applied to the USA release; the Japanese and European releases replaced the blood with black mist.

Optional Boss: In Heroes' Paradise, at least five of the bosses from the sequel appear as optional fights; namely: Skelter Helter, Nathan Copeland, Kimmy Howell, Matt Helms and Alice Twilight though the fights happen as dreams. To do so, players need to accept the option to have Travis doze off on his toilet after beating certain bosses in the story.

Battle Theme Music: Each boss in the game has their own battle theme, and the style or genre of said theme will reflect the boss's personality and/or combat style. For example, Shinobu's theme is electronic-flavored with distorted voices, to reflect her efficiency at swordplay and determination in trying to kill Travis; Speed Buster's theme invokes Autobots, Rock Out! to reflect her sociopathy plus her overkill methods when using her cannon to obliterate everybody; Henry's theme mixes soft rock with trance to reflect his coolness and his exceptional combat skills. And so on.

Animal Motifs: Travis is associated with tigers in a number of ways: many of his optional clothing items have tiger designs; the meter for his Dark Side mode is a tiger walking across the screen; his bike is named the "Schpeltiger"; the guard of the Tsubaki Mk III is a stylized Japanese "tiger" kanji; and his ultimate wrestling move is the Tiger Suplex. One of the obtainable shirts explains this: It has Travis' name transliterated in katakana ("TORABISU") and has a tiger ("tora") design on it. In Desperate Struggle, Travis can even transform into a tiger as one of his Dark Side modes.

Authority Equals Asskicking: The bosses are tiered in the UAA according to their ranking as an assassin. While this trope is played straight in all games with the higher-ranked assassins, it also tends to be subverted at times: higher ranked assassins like Destroyman and Capt. Vladimir tend to be easier compared to lower assassins like Shinobu, Margaret, and Ryuji. It could be possible that Shinobu, Margaret, and Ryuji were still cutting their way up to a higher rank when Travis came along.

Turns Red: Every boss becomes more aggressive with depleted health. Some learn new attacks, while others employ new tactics. The first boss from the first game, for example, triplicates himself. These "new attacks" are, in a couple of cases (Shinobu most comes to mind), unblockable insta-kill attacks which can only be avoided if the player has memorised the pose the boss takes, and knows they have to run away as fast as possible whenever they see this boss doing this.

Expy: The assassin who attacks Travis at the end of the game is very similar to Garcian Smith in appearance, and the scene parallels both an event from Garcian's backstory as well as a less serious one from killer7 in which the player can walk in on that game's Travis exercising (in both cases, the respective Travis responds with "Can't a guy have/get some privacy?"). Helter Skelter is an expy of Dante from Devil May Cry, though with some hints of Sephiroth thrown in - an idea which they ran with for the sequel, where his brother Skelter Helter is a more obvious expy of Cloud. Speed Buster is a pretty sadistic Marisa expy. Complete with Nuclear Master Spark.

Only a Flesh Wound
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_e663d3ef
comment
Only a Flesh Wound: The game is well known for the killings of each boss. The first boss, Death Metal, gets his arms cut off while in mid-swing of his giant sword which would get stuck in the ceiling. Death Metal then has time to talk to Travis, but is later decapitated. An even better example would be Bad Girl's death. Travis completely pushed his light saber through her back and twists it. Bad Girl turns around, whacks Travis across the head, and continues to pummel him while on the ground so hard that Travis actually gives up, luckily, Bad Girl dies seconds later on top of Travis. During the second-to-last boss battle, Jeane punches Travis through the heart. Travis doesn't die, or show any pain, and instead is able to land the finishing blows on Jeane. There’s also Shinobu. Travis, unable to kill a girl at this point, simply cuts off her arm. Granted, he does use a laser katana, so the wound was probably cauterised.

There Can Be Only One: The game revolves around Travis Touchdown, 11th best assassin in the United Assassins Association, working his way up the rankings by killing off the top ten one by one. One of the series's themes, which started near the end of the first game and is rampant through the second one, is that there will always be more assassins coming up from behind, so there will never really be "just one".

No Ending: A very deliberate and meta example. Travis has taken down every assassin and killed his half sister. Then he gets saved from a surprise assassin attack by his twin brother that he never knew about, who has also been married to Sylvia for a decade, and they have a fight to the death while discussing how ridiculous it all is with the final shot being a freeze-frame of them attacking each other. After the credits, Sylvia notes how ridiculous it is and notes that it's a shame there won't be a sequel. Luckily, there was.

Sprint Meter: One of the unlockable abilities is the "Technique of Bizarre", AKA the ability to run, stopping in exhaustion for a few seconds should you sprint the meter completely empty. The beam sword charge gauge pulls double-duty as the sprint meter, so you can't actually run while in battle. It's still a good way to get around the alleys in town that a bike has trouble maneuvering in, and it's practically a requirement to get a good score in some of the side-jobs. Sprinting makes Travis cannonball forward with enough velocity to outrun a car for about fifteen seconds. And he's winded for three.

Obvious Villain, Secret Villain: The game has a variant of this with Sylvia Christel and Jeane. Prior to the leadup for the Rank 1 battle, Travis Touchdown and the player were lead to believe that Sylvia was working for the United Assassins Association, but when he uses the company's phone number it's actually the one for her mother, who reveals that the UAA doesn't actually exist and was used as nothing more than a money scam. Of course, even that turns out to have an ulterior motive: Sylvia was purposely training Travis so that he could take on Jeane, his ex-girlfriend and the murderer of his parents, who kills the actual number one ranked assassin Dark Star after Travis finally reaches his estate.

Second-Person Attack
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_f1176f36
comment
Second-Person Attack: A gruesome example. When Travis decapitates Speed Buster, we see her head fly to the ground from her POV. A more Downplayed example is with Harvey, where the camera shows his point of view as Travis throws his beam katana at him, it cuts a red line across his vision, and then that line turns black and expands over the entire screen. The next several seconds are entirely black as Harvey complains that he's been blinded.

NO INDOOR VOICE
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_f15c2859
comment
When Travis gets a call on his cell phone, it comes through the Wii Remote's speaker instead of the TV's speakers. As such, the volume is (in theory) lower and thus you're holding the Wii Remote to your ear as Travis holds his cell phone to his. In practice, the voice coming through the remote is surprisingly loud — Sylvia has No Indoor Voice.

Burger Fool: There's a fast food joint just outside of Travis' hotel named "Burger Suplex", which also keeps the flow of naming many landmarks after pro wrestling moves. It's engaged in a shadow war with the incroaching "Pizza Butt" franchise, and there are three assassination jobs where you pick off Pizza Butt executives at their request. This turns out to be a major plot point in the sequel: Jasper Butt Jr. is the Big Bad, and the men you assassinated were his father and two brothers.

New Job as the Plot Demands: Travis earns his money in both games by doing every job imaginable, however, his boss in each job is always the same. It probably has something to do with "the unspoken laws of Santa Destroy" he keeps babbling about.

 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_f42f96fa
comment
Would Hit a Girl: This is discussed via Travis Touchdown. Although he is hesitant to kill women, he sees no problem hitting them. He battles five female assassins and kills three of them. However, he didn't kill the first he fought; the second was the one who chastised him for not killing her, calling it weakness, not mercy, before killing herself. There were some form of circumstances with the other three as well the first killed his master in front of him, the second bled out after making him admit defeat, and for the last, "It's Personal".

Cosmic Deadline
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_f5c3defd
comment
Cosmic Deadline: Parodied. Jeane's backstory is literally fast-forwarded in game to get to the "final" boss. Not only a cosmic deadline, but a cosmic limitation. The characters seem to believe there's a limit to how much messed-up stuff they can say before the game gets cancelled or delayed. If the scene is replayed at a slowed rate, the story becomes understandable. It is notable as an example that combines terror and No Fourth Wall as Jeane's backstory goes from heartbreaking to unimaginably screwed up quickly, making the reaction portrayed beliveable. And then comes the true ending, where Travis finds out that Henry, the assassin who killed Dr. Letz Shake earlier in the game, is his twin Irish brother and the husband of Jeane, and at that point what little that remained of the fourth wall was done away with.

You Bastard!: Travis actually calls out the player for enjoying watching him and his fellow assassins fight to the death towards the end of the second game. Well, technically he calls out Sylvia and the UAA, but the way he does it certainly causes the player to pause and say, "Wait, is he talking to me?"

Once the game is complete, the mission continues and the game is unlocked at his home for future playing.

Automatic New Game: The game does this, only pausing to let you choose your difficulty level and then throwing you in. After you save, it takes this trope further, automatically loading the most recent file whenever you turn on your Wii. To get to another save, you have to wait for the recent one to load, then go to the pause menu to access the load screen.

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Played straight at first, with the 1st Rank battle taking Travis well outside Santa Destroy and through an ominous forest, with the battle itself happening right outside the 1st Rank assassin's personal castle. Ultimately subverted with the True Final Boss battle with Henry, however, which happens in the parking lot of the Motel No More Heroes where Travis lives.

Travis Touchdown. His weapon of choice (a Beam Katana), impressive feats of physical skill and endurance, occasional displays of chivalry and honor, and overall competence are very assassin-like. But his Perpetual Poverty, complete lack of stealth or subtlety, and overall tastelessness push him more towards the hitman category.

Running Gag
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: After each of his ranking matches, Travis receives a message from Diane, an employee Beef Head Videos, to remind him to return a video from the store, with the video usually being pornographic in nature, such as the "How to please a woman in bed" series. Her voice grows wearier and wearier with each message. Similarly, before each of his ranking matches, Travis has a phone conversation with Sylvia, usually involving her doing something outrageous in the background while an exasperated Travis listens in, and they get more and more ridiculous as the game goes on. Sometimes she's doing some sexy activity and acts as The Tease, sometimes she's in a party with loud music, or in a battleground full of gunshot noises. And then by the end of the game Travis gets a phone call from her mother saying Sylvia was scamming him the whole time.

Brick Joke: Henry's very presence in the first game is a giant Brick Joke of its own, as despite killing the fifth-ranked assassin and immediately challenging Travis to a duel, it's interrupted by Silvia, with Henry disappearing without giving Travis a chance to fight him. It's only in the True Ending when Henry returns and is actually fought.

Cutscene Power to the Max
 No More Heroes (Video Game) / int_fe262584
comment
Travis can survive things that would otherwise be fatal, especially in cutscenes. These particularly daring feats include being tossed around with lasers, being blown up, beaten savagely, being blown up, his sister thrusting her hand into his rib cage, and being blown up. This is arguably the only thing Travis has on his opponents. Several characters use beam katanas, which often are better looking and/or stronger than Travis'. In fact, after some of the more brutal beatings, some of his opponents automatically assume he's already dead. And then this is Subverted with Bad Girl beating Travis to death with a baseball bat if you fall for her trap.

Perpetual Poverty: Travis Touchdown, at least at the beginning of the game, is broke and lives in a motel room, despite owning a gigantic X-Wing styled motorscooter, an insane amount of anime and wresting merchandise, and buying a beam katana from Ebay. Possibly the reason he's broke is that he spends all of his money on this stuff.
