No More Heroes III is the third mainline installment of the No More Heroes series developed and published by Grasshopper Manufacture. It was released for the Nintendo Switch on August 27, 2021, with a version for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store released on October 4, 2022 courtesy of XSEED Games.Continuing two years after the events of Travis Strikes Again, our unlikely hero, Travis Touchdown, finds himself once again fighting his way to the #1 spot of the rankings. This time, however, his opponents are not simply rival assassins, but a mysterious, very powerful army of self-styled "superhero" aliens known as the "Galactic Superhero Corps", led by the megalomaniacal Galactic Conqueror Prince FU, his childhood friend and Utopina CEO Damon Ricotello (who wants revenge against Travis for the events of the last game), and his ten elite assassins who came to conquer the world. With these not-so-heroic extraterrestrials promising to be the most challenging and bizarre foes he's ever faced, along with fellow professional assassins Shinobu Jacobs and Bad Girl aiding him in the fight for the planet, Travis will have to pull out all stops to come out on top: with his trusty Beam Katana, the varied abilities of his Death Glove, and a new Full-Armor transformation, he is the only man capable of saving the Earth by ensuring that, in the end, there are no more heroes!The game continues the full-scale directorial return for Japanese game developer Suda51, who took a hiatus from game directing after the original No More Heroes in order to focus on game production. Unlike Travis Strikes Again, which was a game made to pay tribute to the indie games that reignited his creative spark, as well as commemorate Grasshopper Manufacture's history, No More Heroes III is a product Suda has stated is made with the fans in mind who have been waiting for a proper continuation to Travis' story. As such the game features an all-star cast of new staff members and returning series veterans; this includes Nobutaka Ichiki and Ren Yamazaki (director of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle and co-director of Travis Strikes Again respectively) both assuming the role of co-directors, as well as long-time series character designer Yusuke Kozaki returning to provide character designs. Newcomers to the crew include pop artist Masanori Ushiki; responsible for the character designs of the majority of the game's alien cast, and comic artist Skan Srisuwan; who designed much of the games' sci-fi architecture, including Travis' Powered Armor and several other bosses. On the music side, composing duties were handled by alternative metal drummer Nobuaki Kaneko; who has released music from the game under a new band he'd formed during production called "Red Orca". The game further features a host of guest contributions by artists such as Inio Asano, Darick Robertson (The Boys), Mari Shimazaki (Bayonetta), and composer Kazuhiro Abo from Travis Strikes Again.Announcement trailer, "The Return", October 2020 Direct Mini preview, February 2021 Direct preview, No More Heroes 3 - Series Digest MovieNo More Heroes 3 - Alien Superheroes?

Unexpected Gameplay Change
 No More Heroes III (Video Game) / int_1467a30c
comment
Unexpected Gameplay Change: Several times throughout the game: Velvet Chair Girl‘s "boss fight" is a musical chairs mini game. Midori Midorikawa’s level suddenly shifts into a First-Person horror sequence. The first half of Sonic Juice's battle is fought in the style of a Final Fantasy-inspired turn-based JRPG. At two points the game switches to Deathman, a old-school Beat 'em Up. The first Deathman segment is in the prologue, while the second is after Henry kills Travis. The final fight against Damon is stylized like a Super Smash Bros. match, with a 2D perspective, damage percentage counters ticking up, and Damon needing to be defeated by a Deathblow-assisted Ring Out.

Darker and Edgier: The dark undertones of the plot are more serious overall than even No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (despite the minimal use of moodier fight environments), and they crop up more often the closer the player gets to the game's climax.

comment
Misplaced Wildlife: One of the volunteer jobs in Santa Destroy has Travis picking trash in alligator-infested water. Alligators do not live in California, where Santa Destroy was stated to be located in previous games. Justified by a)Santa Destroy no longer being on the U.S. mainland and now part of a star-shaped archipelago and b)the alien invasion possibly causing some ecological or geography shifts and certain species getting transplanted or becoming invasive (the Coast Guard job mini-game on some of the other islands implies that the alligators are an invasive species to the Utopina archipelago).

The Cameo: The Radiant Gleam from Daemon X Machina makes an appearance at the end of the game, arriving at Travis' dimension to help him fight against Damon's mech. The sequence when Travis controls it is set to "Arms of Immortal" and "Battle Dance" - taken directly from that game's soundtrack. Takashi Miike As Himself (albeit with a different voice actor) once again appears, saving Travis from being Buried Alive after being killed by Henry.

Stealth Pun: The two letters in FU's name come after "E" and "T" respectively. However, his name could also be pronounced as "eff you" when you pronounce both of the letters separately. Also, given his alien origins as well as being Rank 1 in the Galactic Superhero Rankings, he is a literal "Foo Fighter".

comment
Ambiguous Situation: The circumstances that led to Shinobu, Bad Girl, and Badman living in Travis's motel; Dr. Juvenile becoming Travis's ally and tech support; and the reason Travis starts this game off with a neck brace and leg cast, are never fully explained. Dr. Naomi has somehow been transformed into a giant sentient cherry blossom tree in the basement of Travis’ apartment. How or why this has happened is never explained. Sylvia somehow has the ability to fly, among other superhero abilities. It's never revealed just what caused Henry to turn into an unhinged psychopath willing to ally with aliens, other than watching Thor.

Bloodier and Gorier: Yes, even by the standards of the series. Wide streams of blood fly out of enemies and even Travis with every strike, as opposed to the previous games where the showers of blood were reserved for the aftermath of finishing blows. Unlike other games in the series, however, the amount of blood that can be spilled in gameplay can be changed in the gameplay settings, and a large portion of enemies killed are aliens.

Replay Mode: Within Naomi's Lab, located in the same motel where Travis lives, there's a time machine that allows Travis to relive his fights against the ranked assassins he's met during the story. The added benefit is that you can select the difficulty level (though the higher ones need to be unlocked and then paid through a small fee). It's a good way to farm money, as well as materials for upgrades; and the higher the difficulty chosen is, the higher the rewards will be.

Person of Mass Destruction: The "superheroes" Travis must contend with have been described as Thanos-level threats. As a demonstration of this, Velvet Chair Girl's pet, Ohma, nuked a city with a Wave-Motion Breath Weapon in the introduction. It winds up only really applying to FU himself and Ohma after her master dies in regards to threat level. Three members of their ranks even end up getting taken out by completely human combatants before they can even fight Travis.

During the game's first level, after Travis' pet cat Jeanne reveals herself to be able to talk in a distinctly masculine voice and he calls her "basically his navigator", she compares her combat prowess to someone else (their name is bleeped out in both the subtitles and audio, but a distinct "Pic" syllable can be heard before the bleep starts). Travis tells her not to make that comparison again, saying that it will "make things more confusing".

 No More Heroes III (Video Game) / int_3d260e8c
comment
Victory Fakeout: Happens a surprising amount: Landing the killing blow on Mr. Blackhole leads to the kill-screen stating "Mr. Blackhole: DEAD?". Sure enough, the battle with him isn't actually over yet, as Travis gets sucked by a wormhole and must seek him out to trigger the second phase. After Sniping Lee gets killed in a cutscene, the Ranking episode appears to end, and the usual Pastel-Chalked Freeze Frame comes up. But then Sylvia points out the lack of a boss fight and summons a Mass-Produced Destroyman to trigger one anyway. After the boss battle with Henry, the player gets to the toilet save screen, but it freezes up, making Travis complain to the game's staff about it. Of course, it turns out that the post-battle cutscene was still going, and a group of Henry clones shows up to kill him. This triggers a Deathman level before the episode ends for real. Downplayed with FU's defeat. After the "FU: DEAD" kill-screen, the player gets to deliver two final power bombs at the start of the cutscene that shows his incredibly painful demise.

Bleak Level: Call of Battle. While the other areas of the game are colorful and have at least some liveliness, Call of Battle has nothing but browns and greys and is full of ruins, being mostly devoid of life.

Bragging Rights Reward: The Z-Chip removes the cooldown on Death Glove Skills, allowing you to effortlessly throw enemies and bosses around until they lose health or keeping them in perpetually slowed down time, while you wail on them. Too bad you also have to beat several bosses on Death difficulty to get the materials to craft it. By that point in the game, you've already done practically everything there is to do. At least New Game Plus allows you to carry it over into a new playthough.

The Goomba: Bones are the easiest and most basic enemy in the game, being humanoids with a single melee attack and very telegraphed attack patterns that get slightly stronger variations over time. This is lampshaded in their intro card, with Travis explicitly calling them "a goombah".

Never Smile at a Crocodile: One of the jobs Travis can take is cleaning up trash in an alligator-filled area, and said alligators are at least twice Travis's size. Another is being a coast guard fending off giant alligators from reaching the shoreline using a tank, and the largest ones take multiples shells to kill.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Damon was established in Travis Strikes Again to be a very amoral man. However, he's the focal character showing that he genuinely valued his and FU's friendship to the extent that he eagerly awaited FU's return 20 years later. Of course, the friendship kind of starts to falter after FU reveals his intention to take over Earth and has his crew bombard the planet. Midori Midorikawa is the #5 of the Galactic Superheroes, but she loves her children (who happen to be her hands, long story) and her boyfriend, Kamui Uehara. Subverted in that she was never evil in the first place.

Hourglass Plot: Travis started as a loser otaku with only one friend who only wanted to become an assassin for the glory and perhaps getting in bed with Sylvia while Henry was the cool handsome foil assassin. Come III, it's Travis who has matured and understood what it means to kill while Henry has Jumped Off The Slippery Slope. Notably in I, Henry called Travis an embarassment whereas in III, it's Travis who states that it's embarassing to have a deranged lunatic for a twin brother.

Interface Screw: As if to reinforce how alien the new enemies are, some of the alien bosses seem to have phases that completely deviate from the usual hack-and-slash format of normal boss fights. For instance, Mr. Blackhole's boss fight appears to start off in the series traditional format which transitions into a Phase 2 in a shooter game format. Sonic Juice is initially fought in a Final Fantasy-like turn-based RPG format.

Action Prologue: A rather unique example; the first thing that happens after the game boots up is the title sequence for an old fictional video game called "Deathman". After Travis explains the game's premise (which is a parallel to the actual plot) and how much it meant to him since his childhood, you end up having to fight the final boss of the game, but after you beat it, the scene shifts before Travis finds out Deathman's true identity.

Eldritch Abomination: Despite referring to themselves as "superheroes" FU's cronies toe the line between this and Humanoid Abomination, with varying levels. With names like "Mr. Blackhole", with boss fights unlike anything seen in the series before, it only serves to enforce how otherworldly these new enemies are. We are treated to a shot of FU and his gang walking over the corpses of corporate suits lying dead in a pool of their own blood, implying that they were slaughtered by the extraterrestrials, but the presence of gas masks hint that they may have been killed simply from being in the same presence of the aliens.

Bait-and-Switch: The first three trailers: The reveal trailer opens with an unfamiliar man donning Powered Armor (with a Transformation Sequence) to fight a giant alien battleship. Once he breaks out the beam katana, however, he removes the suit, revealing Travis now in his signature appearance. The second trailer initially presents itself as a reveal for a newly-announced game called "Goddamn Superhero", where a boy named Damon befriends the alien FU and helps send him home, only to discover upon FU's return 20 years later that he intends to conquer Earth as a "superhero". When the game's title card appears, Travis suddenly breaks through it with his motorcycle, revealing it to be a trailer for No More Heroes III. The third trailer opens with the starting moments of the game's story, where a disheveled-looking Travis, along with Shinobu and Bad Girl, get ready to throw down with some aliens. Just as the fighting is set to begin, the video on the fictional streaming site ends and transitions to Sylvia's breakdown of the game.

Back from the Dead: Destroyman, who was bisected in the first game, then decapitated and blown up in the second game, returns for a third time as Destroyman True Face; a cybernetic form which the Japanese website describes as the "ultimate evolution". He's accompanied by mass produced army of clone units. This also happens to Travis after he gets killed by Henry, where Deathman sends Travis back to life.

Anachronic Order: FU's confrontation with Travis at his motel is implied to have taken place shortly after his televised announcement about the Galactic Superhero Rankings ("I saw you on TV, prince. What a lame-ass speech."); but it's shown after his conversation with Gold Joe, where FU remarks that Travis is weak but wily. Flashbacks to FU's meetings with the rest of his elite assassins on occasion also occur before their boss fights. This seems to hint at FU's being unstable and thus unreliable.

Continuity Nod: It is made abundantly clear that Travis Strikes Again is essentially setup for this game. Mr. Blackhole, one of the aliens sent as reconnaissance on Earth, return as ranked superheroes in the Galactic Superhero Rankings. Mr. Blackhole who is ranked No. 10 in particular was seen complaining about being overworked by a certain alien prince... Damon Ricotello, a nasty minor character from "Travis Strikes Again", is indirectly responsible for the events of this game, with FU invading Earth out of a desire to fulfill a promise between them as children. Bad Girl returns to fight off the alien invasion, having been resurrected in the previous game. Badman also returns (albeit briefly before being unceremoniously murdered by FU.) Bugjirou is back (somehow in the real world), with a ramen shack in Santa Destroy. He is joined by a fellow bug, Bugzaburou, who sells sushi. Kamui Uehara, whom Travis struck up an unlikely friendship with, is also confirmed to be returning with the name "Newtype Kamui", and apparently holding Kosuke Kurumizawa in his hands. Mr. Doppelganger also shows up in a sidequest, challenging Travis to find him. After you beat all the bike missions with a gold rating, you can challenge Ryuji's older brother to a driving fight. Travis's trailer from the previous game is behind the No More Heroes motel.

You Don't Look Like You: When the game begins, Travis looks noticeably different from his usual appearance: he is dressed only in a T-shirt, boxers, and sandles; he has bandages on his body along with a neck brace; and he has a beard and Messy Hair. It's only after transforming into his Full Armor form and boarding the first UFO that he regains his iconic appearance. There's no explanation as to how or why this happens. This look is later unlocked as an optional costume that the player can equip should they so choose.

MegaCorp: Utopinia, which was described as an "urban development corporation" in Travis Strikes Again, was founded by Damon with the help of alien tech and seems to have total control over Santa Destroy. This extends to the economy, which sees Santa Destroy using "UtopiCoins" (Uc) as currency rather than the series' standard LB$. They also seem to be in control of the geography, as Santa Destroy (which was once part of California and right near the Mexican border) has been physically separated from the U.S. mainland to be part of the star-shaped archipelago that makes up Utopina.

No OSHA Compliance: Much like the previous games, some of the volunteer jobs are ridiculously unsafe.

Another job has you mining WESN (an alien mineral and one of the game's currency) in a cave with lava pits and geysers, and said job is explicitly stated to be so dangerous that no one else has ever come back alive from it.

Take That!

comment
Take That!: Despite largely being a celebration of otaku media, the game is more than willing to knock them down a peg as well. Travis and Bishop's brazen gushing of Takashi Miike's filmography has its breaks pumped when Travis mocks the logic that someone being a hardcore fan of the source material means they'd be able to make a good adaptation, using the point to criticize Miike's live action adaptation of TerraforMARS. It doesn't stop the both of them from deciding to watch it again though. Sonic Juice's boss battle sees Travis not only relentlessly bashing RPGs, particularly Final Fantasy, but he is also implied through censored dialogue to lampoon the designs of Tetsuya Nomura, pointing out that he wouldn't play the games even if they remade them. Upon killing Kimmy Love, Sylvia berates Travis for thinking they could have teamed up to take down the big bad aliens like in a "superhero movie". This example winds up being at least partially subverted when Travis' friends do actually show up in the end to help him take down FU.

Market-Based Title: Parodied. The reversible jacket for the Switch game card's cover has the game alternatively titled Goddamn Superhero, made for the fictional Death Drive 68000 console.

Used to Be a Sweet Kid
 No More Heroes III (Video Game) / int_be0ad6b7
comment
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: FU is revealed to be a mass-murdering ex-con after the intro, and Damon who also appears in the opening was previously shown in Travis Strikes Again to be an unscrupulous business mogul. However, the aforementioned scene also showed the two together in their youth being much more starry-eyed and friendly. It's subverted in regards to FU however, who reveals to Damon that even back when they first met, he was already planning to conquer Earth.

True Companions: Travis and his allies ultimately prove to be this, despite the very rocky beginnings he had with some of them. Besides the couch conversations they drop in on and the option Travis has to comfort Bad Girl (in his own bumbling way) after the death of her father, they all come to Travis's aid during his final battle with FU. It stands in contrast to FU, who treats most of his supposed friends more as novelties and has no problems killing them if they piss him off.

Shout-Out
 No More Heroes III (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Travis' reaction to the alien ship in the opening level: The way Travis breaks through the "Goddamn Superhero" title card in "The Return" trailer resembles the famous motorcycle shot from AKIRA. Additional references to AKIRA include Travis' new bike, the Demzamtiger, which has a stark red futuristic design, and he's also seen doing the motorcycle shot again in the Nintendo Direct 2021 trailer during game play. Travis fights Sonic Juice in the style of a Final Fantasy encounter, right down to selectable commands and blue text box menus. The two even discuss Final Fantasy, with Travis trashing the character designs and claiming he won't touch the game (presumably VII) even if they remake it. Of course, it's mostly hidden by Clumsy Copyright Censorship bleeps. The uncensored conversation is far more explicit with the references, with Travis saying he broke his controller playing Final Fantasy VI, that he wouldn't play Final Fantasy VII even if they remake it, and that Tetsuya Nomura's designs looked stupid. The shirt Travis is wearing in all the trailers is a riff on the famous cover of the album Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division. The opening scene showing Damon's backstory of trying to send his alien friend FU home, while protecting him from government agents, is a big one to E.T. Incidentally, FU's name arrives from replacing the letters E.T. with their next respective letter in the alphabet. The top of Travis's new Death Glove resembles a red-and-blue pair of Joy-Con controllers. Then there is "NT Kamui", which stands for "Newtype". The final cover art appears to be a mirror flipped version of the arcade art for Street Fighter Alpha 2. Travis mentions the famous Toku quarry, and even namedrops Kamen Rider Zi-O (the subtitles censor the name, but the spoken dialogue doesn't). Though this isn't surprising if you already got to know that Suda himself is a Kamen Rider fan. Jeane attempts to compare herself to Piccolo, but gets censored. A large number of the Skill Chips for the Death Glove are named after Ultramen. There doesn’t seem to be any specific motive behind this, unlike in Travis Strikes Again where the references lined up with the abilities themselves, but much of this has to do with the fact that the Death Glove Chips in No More Heroes III give buffs to your current attacks as opposed to new moves like in the previous game. The references continue in the story itself with a VHS opening to every episode using a warped title card and villain silhouettes done in the style of the classic Ultraman openings. Gold Joe's name and design pays homage to King Joe from Ultraseven as well. The first optional adventure game questline ends with Travis gathering six magical stones for a man who wants to use their magical power to erase most of the world's...apple pie, his least favorite food. After the battle against Velvet Chair Girl Sylvia appears for the usual cleanup dressed like Captain Marvel. When Damon becomes the True Final Boss, he brings up Travis hitting him in Travis Strikes Again and mentions that not even his father hit him. Damon being a wealthy and amoral business elite who's then revealed to be hiding a grotesque alien-like visage is a reference to They Live!, his demonic appearance particularly bears a striking resemblance to the aliens of that movie. The icons for the podcasts look right out of Doctor Slump, and Travis' outright look like Taro Soramame. Travis celebrates getting a collectable like how The Legend of Zelda's Link celebrates finding an important item with Travis' death chip creation sprite matching Link's NES design. The Final Boss with Damon turns the game into Super Smash Bros.. Suda being a fan of pro wrestling and all, Travis will do the ProWres Love pose when he transfers the entry fee for the next ranked battle, and (sometimes) Hulk Hogan’s “Ichiban!� when he completes a request. In an optional dialogue of Travis checking on Shinobu’s recovery, he tries to rouse her spirits with the story of Akira Maeda returning from the UK to defeat Paul Orndorff with a beautiful bridging butterfly suplex. Suda noted ahead of release that most of the suplexes Travis can perform are pulled directly from Maeda’s arsenal, on that note. Sylvia shouts out the Japanese indie studio AREA 35 for providing her the intergalactic battleship that she used to reach Sonic Juice's planet and save Travis. The studio was credited in the game for having worked on cinematics. One of the mini bosses is named Leopardon. Two of Travis' Full Armor modes turn him into the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn's titular mech, with the first form being based on Unicorn's standard mode, and the Green Mode being Unicorn's Awakened NT-D mode in design and colors. The space-only Full Armor Travis resembles a conglomeration of mecha from Gundam Sentinel, taking design cues from the S Gundam with Booster Unit, the Hummingbird, and especially the Gundam Deep Striker, the radome over the left shoulder being a dead giveaway. To harvest the WESN from the trees he's planted earlier in designated spots, Travis climbs up them and backflips off of them while yelling "wahoo!". In the end, Damon summons his giant mecha by pointing his index finger towards the sky while yelling "Thunder Break!", causing purple lightning to strike.

Self-Deprecation: The "Goddamn Superhero" teaser trailer had Travis quipping "2020 release? Heh, good luck!". The game would be delayed to 2021. Possibly mixed with Take That! as the April 2021 livestream trailer makes mention of Travis Strikes Again's somewhat polarizing reception, with Sylvia calling it "the kind of experimental game that will get fawned over in ten years".

comment
Boss-Only Level: Many rank stages start with a luxurious entrance area within FU's vessel (which include both a Save Point and a sushi kiosk for supply purchase), which is then followed directly by the relevant boss battle. There are exceptions, such as the Rank 8 stage (a secluded city within Thunderdome where Travis has to look for his opponentnote it even remains explorable afterwards, meaning it averts being a One-Time Dungeon) and the Rank 5 stage (an abandoned school where Travis has to "follow" the boss and then defeat several enemies within classrooms before reaching the boss fight).

Anti-Frustration Features
 No More Heroes III (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: Retrying any battle after losing lets the player spin a roulette wheel for a chance to get a head-start boost; such as starting with 1.5 power-up in attack or getting Mustang Mode on the first roulette. Otherwise, landing on FU will start the fight with an empty battery. If you die multiple times, the roulette will spin slower to allow you to choose the slot you want more easily. Averted on Spicy difficulty or higher, in which the roulette only features FU (empty battery, as stated above) or infant FU (no extra effect). It still spins slower after several deaths. Due to FU's second boss phase having a ton of health and openings for damage being somewhat far between, Auto Mustang Mode is enabled for Perfect Dodges regardless of whether or not you're at full health to ensure that the player can get a lot of hits into every opening.

Bait-and-Switch Boss: Possibly the most this trope has come into play in a series already known for it. Native Dancer kills Black Night Direction (#8 in the rankings) and Kimmy Love kills Vanishing Point (#7), replacing them in their boss fights. Notorious kills Sniping Lee (#4), and is replaced by Destroyman True Face. Paradox Bandit (#2) is unceremoniously killed by FU before even having a chance to try to fight Travis, with his boss fight being replaced with Henry. Downplayed in the case of Velvet Chair Girl (#6), who Travis has to take on in a game of musical chairs, but who kills herself when she loses rather than directly fight Travis afterwards. Her pet, Ohma, takes over for the traditional boss fight.

You Wanna Get Sued?
 No More Heroes III (Video Game) / int_ddc66c9a
comment
You Wanna Get Sued?: During the game's first level, after Travis' pet cat Jeanne reveals herself to be able to talk in a distinctly masculine voice and he calls her "basically his navigator", she compares her combat prowess to someone else (their name is bleeped out in both the subtitles and audio, but a distinct "Pic" syllable can be heard before the bleep starts). Travis tells her not to make that comparison again, saying that it will "make things more confusing". Travis and Bishop's explicit mentions of the works of Takashi Miike are censored in the subtitles but this time not in the audio. The only exception are a few mentions of Girls x Heroine!, though a specific reference to Magic x Warrior Magi Majo Pures! gets censored. This is probably due to the fact that just saying the 'Girls' series or even the full title wouldn't turn as many heads as blatantly discussing Audition. This seems to be the trend for any referenced works in the game. A reference to Kamen Rider Zi-O is censored in the subtitles, but not the audio. However, in situations where text is the only reference point, such as Travis discussing Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack? You're out of luck if you can't figure out what letters are being censored out.
