Talk:List of No More Heroes characters

Characters from No More Heroes 2
So we have the list of the new characters from the new game. Can we add them to this page now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.163.91.127 (talk) 03:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Are You Serious?
From the Bit About Holly Summers :

"The fact that she has a prosthetic leg and is a European model could be a reference to Heather Mills, who lost half of her leg after being knocked down by a police motorcycle."

OMG?!
Holy

I cant believe the characters name is Helter Skelter, its a Beatles song and Manson's Word for "Black" people killing the "White" people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.82.8.97 (talk) 08:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Travis Touchdown
Would it be unreasonable to give Travis Touchdown his own page on Wikipedia? Particularly in Europe, and possibly in other regions, he is fast-becoming a bit of a pop icon, and perhaps he is deserving of such an honour rather than just being at a top of "List of characters in No More Heroes". It's just a suggestion so don't bite my throat off if you disagree.--1SmileGuy1 (talk) 17:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Swapping Order
I think it might be better to swap the order of the assassins. List it from Helter Skelter on down to Dark Star/Jeane. It seems to make more sense, especially if someone is coming here in the middle of the game, researching characters he's already beaten.

68.55.197.8

Helter Skelter's Voice Actor
Where does this information come from? Dee Bradley Baker? I don't think he talks at all in-game. The only place he talks is in the trailer, I believe, though the voice there for Travis is quite a bit different.

Gothic lolita?
Is Bad Girl really gothic lolita? Everyone seems to be saying she is, but I wonder if that's not just because that's the only lolita subtype popularly known... She looks a bit more like sweet lolita to me. Then again, I'm not exactly an expert on the subject. Midnight Bliss (talk) 22:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The point of her Lolita outfit is to contrast with her murderous personality.  She's definitely not Gothic Lolita.  Destrado Zero  09:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

A few things that I changed
The first thing I changed was Randall's profile. It originally said he was Travis' father, but that isn't right. His profile on the site, when accurately translated, says he is "a drunken old man", not "Travis' drunken father", and the confusion is because it calls him "oyaji", which is used as both a word for "father" and "old man", but in the context, it is old man.


 * The second thing I changed was Bad Girl’s rank, which was listed as 3. If you compare the silhouettes of the assassins ranked 5 and above to the pictures in the profiles that have been in that Japanese magazine (Famitsu?), it’s clear that Bad Girl is ranked 2 and not 3. However, I think this qualifies as “original research”, because technically, no official source so far (except that trailer, sort of) really says what her rank is. Even her profile on the official site says her rank is unknown, so going by Wikipedia rules, it might be more correct to list her rank as “?”.206.132.133.129 16:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Bad Girl is definitely not ranked 3. It is very clear that she is ranked 2 if you compare the silhouettes, so please stop saying she is ranked 3, because she isn't. However, because of "original research" rules, her rank should probably stay as "?" until we have a more direct confirmation (which I personally disagree with but whatever).206.132.133.129 15:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Ermen Palmer?
Shouldn't there be a topic in the Character section about Ermen Palmer? Like an assassin who is a homage to Ermin Parkreiner/Garcian Smith? A know his role wasn't big in the game, but I feel he deserves a bit of credit, for being a homage to Emir Parkreiner from the previous Suda game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.123.67.72 (talk) 14:08, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Maybe, maybe not. I'd like to add it, but I'm not sure if it'd really be necessary.

It's also possible that Ermen is Emir himself. Suda is known for bringing some of his main characters back in later games with different appearances (and sometimes names).Sir Ilpalazzo (talk) 22:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Who are you talking about? BioYu-Gi! (talk) 18:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

To Sir Ilpalazzo, I doubt that... Emir wouldn't live up to be the Bloody Heartland in one game, only to be sliced in two during a 10-second crossover in another game. The overall atmosphere of Ermen Palmer just isn't right for all that Garcian/Emir was either (both before and after his revelation at the end of killer7). I'm pretty sure we can be certain this character just a homage to Emir Parkreiner. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 05:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Spoilers
Please, for the love of god, slap a spoiler warning on this page. I don't appreciate this game being spoiled for me before it's even out, just from looking at character profiles. Thanks a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.237.180.98 (talk) 19:22, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * For the love of God don't read the instruction booklet when you get it, you might spoil the control scheme! :O What are you doing reading a page devoted to character analysis when you don't want to know a thing about their profiles? Lol... Vixen Windstorm (talk) 21:24, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I am for a spoiler warning, but I was looking at some movie articles on Wikipedia and there is no sort of spoiler warning in the plot section; 'Plot' being a section that pretty much sums up the movie's story. The character section does sort of spoil the game and I had to quickly glance away, but I do not know if a warning label is appropriate to Wikipedia standards. Impala63 (talk) 20:56, 25 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'd agree with a spoiler warning 100%, but apparently Wikipedia views these as disclaimers, and it has a No Disclaimers policy. If there's a way to circumvent this, I'd like to know.  Destrado Zero  09:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Helter Skelter or The Drifer?
The official release of No More Heroes in America has the name of the first character killed as The Drifter and not Helter Skelter as we previously thought. Should we change it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.82.92.81 (talk) 04:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * No, The Drifter was the name given by the guy who hired Travis to kill him, his real name is Helter Skelter, or at least that's his Assassin name. BioYu-Gi! (talk) 18:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Drifter is only a pejorative term for someone who wanders, not Helter Skelter's true title. In the opening cutscene it clearly says Helter Skelter beside him. Eratticus 18:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eratticus (talk • contribs)


 * He's only been referred to as Helter Skelter in the original Heroes trailer, not the game's introduction. The introduction's recap sees Travis refer to him as "the Drifter," and otherwise his real name (or pseudonym) is left unspecified. Nonetheless his name referenced in the trailer lives on as Helter Skelter which I guess would be a fair conclusion to the proposed change. (And BioYu-Gi!, that "guy" who hired Travis to kill Helter Skelter was actually Sylvia Christel, and it was less of a hiring and more of an unpaid qualifying match to set Travis into the UAA rankings lol..)

More Characters
I think instead of "Main Characters", we change it to "Santa Destroy", because characters like Naomi and Lolikov are not main characters, but they are important. This way we can also put in Travis's friend at Beef Head; I think his name is Bishop, Lisa; the girl who works for Beef Head, skeleton guy at Area 51, "Third-class man", K-Entertainment lady, and the cat Jeane. BioYu-Gi! (talk) 18:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Ages, Names and weapons
After you beat the game, you can look for 100 concept art cards, some of which has information about the character's ages, real names and weapons. Now, the names and ages should easy put in without disrupting the flow of the article, but how about the weapons? MrDrak (talk) 15:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe a section labeled “weapon” could be added under each assassin’s profile, along with “name” and “voice actor”? Actually, I’m not sure if listing all of their weapons would be really necessary, but I definitely think the assassins’ real names and nationalities should be listed, if anyone has those.206.132.133.129 (talk) 20:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Info
Okay, I'm sorry because I love this game but the character info is just full of crap. "Destroy Fucker", "her favorite color is pink", and "resembles a Virtual Boy" are some examples. I can't edit now but we need to do something about this, maybe get it semi-protected. BioYu-Gi! (talk) 21:37, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * "Destroy Fucker" and ". . . her favorite color is pink" are not necessary, but the part about Letz Shake's visor resembling a Virtual Boy is true and certainly notable. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 05:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Showdown versus Henry
This is just speculation as I've never seen it stated anywhere else yet, but there are a few implications that Travis and Henry kill each other in the true ending's climax. Shortly into the game, Death Metal provides a speech to the newly deemed assassin Travis on how rather than Metal's home being a paradise, it is instead "a place to die." Similarly in Travis' clashing showdown versus Henry, they both agree that there is no way out of their battle and that they should instead "aim for that exit they call Paradise," both flying into the air sheathing their swords at each other's necks, which is where the cutscene freezes; both in the air, their swords lined up to decapitate each other, and even their remaining hands far from each other's reach. It's definitely a cliffhanger ending but these are some interesting points to consider in light of that. Anyways if I'm not the only person that agrees with this, maybe it can be noted in the article? Vixen Windstorm (talk) 06:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Pure speculation. Plus, the fact that Travis can survive onslaughts of bullets (Helter Skelter), Super-powered attacks (Destroyman),  close encounter with grenades (Holly Summers), Bad Girl's instant kill (instant kill and ending scene is basically the same) and a blow to the chest (Jeane), means that what appears to be guarantee death means nothing.George Leung (talk) 07:54, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah that could be too. I just thought with Travis and Henry's conversation leading up to the climax on how their battle cannot end, along with the fact that Henry is far more skilled than any member of the UAA and probably even the closest thing to an equivalent of Travis, that any "death" they were implying seemed to actually be mutual as opposed to Travis' previous close encounters. What's more interesting in relation to "the exit they call Paradise" is when Travis' thoughts can be heard aloud during the ranking match against Death Metal, where he thinks of "the exit they call Paradise" and that he can't seem find it. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 03:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Bad Girl
I changed part of Bad Girl's description to, "Despite her psychotic nature, she sometimes stops in the middle of a battle pretending to cry, which is used to lure Travis over so she can administer a finishing blow; however, she also really cries, and attacking her will not result in her performing the finishing blow." The previous one was slightly inaccurate seeing as when she performs the finishing move, she's only pretending to cry. She actually does cry, during which time you can beat her crazy (That's how I beat her). Feel free to change the wording if I made it sound awkward, but please don't change it without commenting as to why you changed it. Okazakiakane (talk) 05:38, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Travis and Sylvia in Outer Rim
Travis and Sylvia are featured in a weird mini-radio drama in the Outer Rim's self-titled album (website). According to the dialogue, they've achieved immortality and have been married 120 years. In space. Should this be mentioned anywhere?—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 01:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

That!
Could Thunder Ryu's tendency to say "that" a lot be a reference to subtitles (usually fan-made) in Japanese film and anime where (I don't what pronoun it might be, I don't speak the language) characters referencing unnamed things refer to them knowingly as "that" and people as "that person" (I'm pretty sure that Japanese doesn't use gender-specific pronouns)? Not grammatically incorrect but still awkward in English. Just puttingTHAT out there in case it's not just me. (Momus (talk) 20:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC))
