Per TRS, Bonus Boss was split between Superboss and Optional Boss


* BonusBoss:
** The Amon Clan once again appears to challenge the protagonists in the postgame. Shin Amon comes back to fight Yagami, while Juzo Amon from ''Lost Judgment'' tries his hand at Kasuga. [[spoiler:In ''Deadman's Requiem'', Mun/Thomas gets to fight against newcomer [[GenderBlenderName Senna Amon]].]]
** Going through a specific substory also lets you fight [[spoiler:Jin Kuwana (once again going by Yu Kitakata), who TookALevelInIdealism since he was last seen in ''VideoGame/LostJudgment''. He ''also'' TookALevelInBadass, incorporating the Boxing Style from ''Lost Judgment's'' DLC into his moveset, being able to use his own EX Actions and Mortal Reversals, and getting a [[PerfectPlayAI major AI improvement]] that lets him emulate how a player would use his 4 styles.]]

* BattleAura: These make a return, as per usual. Yagami and Kasuga both have theirs depend on their current style. [[spoiler:Upon his transformation into a living zombie atop the Millenium Tower, Thomas gains a black-and-purple aura. His in particular ''explodes'' off of him, to the point where it can be seen from the streets below. Meanwhile, his standard aura in ''Deadman's Requiem'' is a never-before-seen black-and-white, though the white goes back to purple [[PurpleIsPowerful whenever he transforms. Kawano's aura is red-and-gold, almost resembling fire.]]]]

Later on, a DownloadableContent story was released by the name of ''Deadman's Requiem'' (''Shinin no Requiem'' in Japan), following a certain new character after the events of the main game.



* BandagedFace: Mun has a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] variant going on, with the bandages specifically being meant to cover his left eye and his forehead is only wrapped to keep them on.

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Yu Kitakata (formerly Jin Kuwana) from ''VideoGame/LostJudgment'' returns as an optional boss here, but now he can use EX Actions of his own and has adopted the Boxing Style from his home game's DLC starting from his second phase before mixing it with his previous styles in the final phase, with the addition of [[PerfectPlayAI his AI being improved to fight like a human player]], making him even tougher than the final time he was fought in canon as Yagami only has access to his initial 3 styles instead of Kitakata’s 4.]] This also serves as CharacterRerailment, [[spoiler:as he has indeed TookALevelInIdealism as Yagami believed, now having nothing to hide from the truth after getting justice for Yoko Sawa's death, no longer having to bear Reiko Kusumoto's burden and earning Yagami’s mutual respect,]] with a remix of [[spoiler:Dig In Your Heels]] to top it off. Downplayed in story, however, as they are both still in equal ground even after pulling out all the stops.

* MeaningfulName: The name "Mun" comes from online roleplay circles, with a mun referring to the real person playing a character (typically referred to as a muse). He is essentially playing the muse of a ruthless avenger [[spoiler:after the AD-9 revival project caused his humanity to be clinging to him by a thread. It also qualifies as a MeaningfulRename: his original name (which he goes back to by the end) is actually Thomas. After the FinalBoss, he is shown to be much happier overall, or in other words, having ditched his avenger muse and letting himself be... well, himself.]]
