    one thing I think is misunderstood in the Alice cut scenes is that she isn't necessarily talking about the UAA rankings when she tells Travis that he's the one who got out. She's most likely referring to how Travis was able to deny his blood lust, something she failed to do, by walking away from the rankings.

    3:50 I only just realized now after over a decade of playing this game that even though Death Metal says "So long as I have this scenery to look upon" yet when the camera finally gets to his eyes they're completely shut. He only looks at the view twice in the cutscene, yet he says that he doesn't need anything else. I might be reading too much into it but it seems like he might even be sick of the view that was the only thing he apparently needed. Also, love how he says that his home isn't a Paradise, but a place to die, only for Travis to follow it up in the next scene saying "here's your ticket to paradise" followed by Death Metal meeting his end. It's pretty poetic.

    Travis Touchdown in my opinion, is a character that not a lot of people realize how serious of an arc he goes through. Like how he glorifies murder until meeting Holly. Where his entire outlook on the rankings for instance begins to change. I haven’t seen any video on NMH go this in-depth, This analysis does a great job delving into the madness!

      And it happens again in the second game too. After he is forced to kill Alice Twilight, he angrily confronts Sylvia on her [and by extension the UAA's] callousness by telling her Assassins are people too and how fucked up it is to not only order someone dead but shrug off their death with nary an afterthought later. From that point on, Travis makes up his mind to dismantle the United Assassin Association to destroy the cycle of violence

      I find Henry's character change to be interesting because since the beginning, he was always "the opposite of Travis." In NMH1, he's swave, handsome/clean apperance, has the girl, is a "westaboo" and so on.
      So it does make since that in NMH3, when Travis is "at his best" with friends, family, and fighting for the sake of the world, Henry would be "at his worst". He's deranged, deluded, alone, forced to ally with invaders in the future, and is outright obsessed with Travis. His appearance is nearly all black with a wild hair style. He's still the "opposite of Travis" but in a different context.

How about that?" like he's actually very happy he's doing a, no matter how you look at it, very altruistic good deed. He IS a hero in that regard, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

  • @johnolmos8670

    Travis is a pretty deep character secretly. He’s coated in stereotypes and typical behavior. He was kinda like Deadpool before the movie came out. He always breaks the 3rd wall but more importantly challenges the typical game hero archetype.
    Travis has a tragic past, he’s a reckloose loner who’s only friend is the video store guy up the street from his house, his an introverted incel at first probably bitter of how his life has been up to this point.
    I would further analyze that he is extremely cruel and loves killing with not a lot of remorse. The first time he kills someone he doesn’t even feel bad. He does grow throughout the game though through his climb to the top.

    Some Fun Facts that I found:
    - In the Japanese Dub of No More Heroes, Travis's Japanese VA was voiced by Kazuya Nakai who also voices Hijikata in Gintama and Date Masamune in Sengoku Basara.
    - As for Shinobu's Japanese VA also voices Homura from Senran Kagura.

    • @scatteraxis
      @scatteraxis Před 2 lety +16

      I see it as, if Shinobu wanted to be an assassin, she should or would want to cut off everyone else that ties her down to a normal life in the pursuit of becoming an assassin like all of the others have already done, and killing the other students was symbolic of that. Quite literally severing ties, or "killing the past", if you will.
      It makes sense when you look at the relationships (or lack thereof) of other assassins in the game. Dr. Peace, you can speculate he either killed his family or left them behind because he's so bloodthirsty and goes on to this life-or-death fight. You walk into the set to fight Destroyman, and everyone in the room is already COMPLETELY burnt to a crisp. All the other assassins also show no connection to anyone at all, a very blatant lack of humanity, and they're all basically lone wolves. They live life on the edge, they don't need or want to have regrets going into fights and risking their life killing people, or killing someone's loved one, or not coming home to a loved one.
      Then finally, look at Travis; his parents are dead, he killed his half sister, Thunder Ryu is presumably also a killer and he died a bloody mess, Naomi only exists to sell him murder weapons, and by the end of the game they let us know very clearly that the only relative he has left is also a ghoulish assassin who also wanted to fight him to the death. The only arguably sane person he knows is his "friend" that runs the video store, but then again in the intro he refers to him as just "the dude at the video store", and all he does in the game is fetch his bike for him with little to no dialogue, so who knows if that friendship is even legitimate.
      When I first played this game, I asked the exact same question as you, and from my investigation I believe THAT'S why Shinobu killed the other students in her character introduction. Note that I haven't played any NMH game past 1, so that's my only source on this so far.

    Okay so this may be weird but I think the UA was real. I think Sylvia set up her disappearance before the final match because the UAA couldn’t have a number one assassin that was only in it to get laid.

It really is like growing up with him, I played the wii game as a 15 year old and then played desperate struggle when it came out in the switch. And now, like literally today, am finishing the DLC's for Travis Strikes Back, and he's just turned into such a veteran assassin that just has a deeper understanding of life. It like Travis is now the older assassin a young one would come after and he would advise them not to, but kill them still if it's their wish

    I always thought that the assassins in No more Heroes 2 while being less reflections of Travis and more like his fans was deliberate. The main enemy Pizza bat hates Travis with all his heart and wants to destroy his life. What better way to get a dig at Travis by setting up a ranking fights full of people who idolize him and force him to kill them. In so Pizza Bat can destroy the Fandom of Travis Touchdown While destroying Travis himself. Its why he's bought most of Santa Destroy and redeveloped it. He won't allow the city to belong to Travis even if he has to buy every inch of it to make sure that he can deny the legacy of Travis. In a way the extravagance and posturing of Pizza Bat has completely altered Santa Destroy with His money. It can even be seen as why the game with just a map and not overworld. Santa destroy is no longer Travis's World it belongs to Pizza Bat. I also believe that the Rankings were always fake in the 1st game the influx of Cash from Pizza Bat and the Presence of Travis Turned the perverted killing into a more accepted practice. In way Pizza Bat accidently cemented Travis's legacy by legitimizing the UAA and Crafting another Ranking ladder for Travis.

      They turn Henry into more of a psycho. Might be a commentary on how the brothers are different. Travis puts the past behind him and tries to build a new life. Henry on the other hand finds more info on the past which contradicts the games cannon driving him to devolve into a true murderous monster. The violent past might not only refers to the plot but also Suda's previous violent and confusing games. The type of story Travis tries to escape.

All that’s left is for him to help his son and daughter who will take center stage as the main characters of their own story. There can’t be another No More Heroes since Travis killed his past.

      nmh 2 and 3 are nowhere near as good as the first in the series, after finishing nmh2 I was just insulted for how bad it is compared to the first in the series and especially after how bs is the ending for me is not even canon the spirit of the first game is totally absent at least for me, the first nmh story was cohesive and had a sense but overall it was a better game, don't know what happened after a lot of aspects I love about the game are missing and both normal enemies and assassins fights felt way weaker that the first game, it's such a shame...

    Another cool detail about the fights in NMH is that despite Travis goring his enemies as he kills them and them bleeding profusely like a fountain, not once he gets blood on him except on his fight with Alice. It couls be seen as subtext for her death hitting him more personally than it ever hit the other guys, the first time feeling the warmth of another one's blood is enough to set him off and realize this senseless violence is wrong

      Aye, like literally his entire character is just being what Travis isn't and I think that's pretty intentional. We basically learn nothing about him beyond what is necessary to set up cliffhangers and then the story as quickly moves on from him. Like; I think in No More Heroes 3 he's kind of a direct riff on Vergil from DMC a power-obsessed nutter who basically brings hell on earth to be the strongest based on a childhood turma,. This Henry is basically that without context, a parody of whatever Travis isn't at the moment.
      Is anything Henry says real? Does it matter? Hard to say, he's a character invested so hard into his niche that there's nothing really about him. XD

    As someone who just completed and is a new fan of NMH 1 but hasn’t played the sequel, the writing in 2 seems a lot less subtle and perhaps generic. In addition, not a fan of how they handled the ret-con of the UAA. Likely a result of Suda not being the main man.

      The last of us 2 to me is a far better game than no more heroes 2, the story imo is far better, I got more out of the last of us 2 while NMH2 left me disappointed with how it handled its story and it's gameplay(this is not an uncommon opinion about this game among the fanbase)NMH2 lowkey destroys the magic of the first game and forever taints the franchise to be this whacky crazy thing and loses alot of its grounded story telling. It was a small comparison on the idea of revenge in media. While the message of the last of us 2 is not about revenge it is a part of the game.
      Alot of video games have misleading trailers for various reasons. Games change during development. It's not cool to hate the last of us part 2. Especially not on this channel. To this day I'd rather play that again than No More Heroes 2. On this channel I analyze media, and I actually play and watch the things I talk about. This is really the wrong place to talk about the last of us 2. Nothing but love for that game here.
