History Trivia / NoMoreHeroesIII

* IKnewIt: Due to the game's premise of fighting superheroes, it was considered by a lot of fans to be a matter of time before Destroyman would come back from the dead, yet again.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Not the first time Creator/NoshirDalal's character has tried to kill Creator/RobinAtkinDownes; in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'', Dalal's character Vice Admiral Rampart tried to have Downes' character Cham Syndulla killed.
* TheOtherDarrin: Mark Allen Stewart takes over the role of Henry, replacing Creator/QuintonFlynn in light of the controversies surrounding him.

* GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld: Invoked; In an interview after the game's release, Goichi Suda explained how the ''No More Heroes'' IP basically belongs to Marvelous, so with this game he intended to finish the series on his own terms and move on to make new indie [=IPs=] that he and Grasshopper Manufacture can call his own. Nevertheless, he did tease the possibility of possibly using Travis again in some way at some point in the foreseeable future.

* ApprovalOfGod: Or rather, pre-approval. When Suda made the final boss sequence [[spoiler:into a VideoGame/SuperSmashBros parody, he asked Nintendo and Sakurai if it was okay with them.]] They encouraged Suda to go for it. This actually inspired him to make the parody even ''more'' blatant than what he originally came up with.

The final boss sequence [[spoiler:where Travis fights Damon in a clearly VideoGame/SuperSmashBros-like arena]] was okayed by [[spoiler:Nintendo and Sakurai]] when Suda brought up the idea to them. This actually inspired him to make the parody even ''more'' blatant than what he originally came up with.

** [[https://www.siliconera.com/interview-suda51-no-more-heroes-3-dlc/ In an interview with Siliconera]], Suda reveals that [[spoiler:all of the Galactic Superheroes were planned to be full boss fights but that they had to cut the fights out for various reasons]]. Shinobu, Bad Girl, Notorious, Kamui, Midori, and Native Dancer were all also planned to be playable characters, but they couldn't get them all working, so Travis ended up being the only playable character in the end. Additionally, the restricted areas of each map were actually fully-modelled and originally explorable, but the hardware couldn't handle them, so they were blocked off in the final game. However, Suda did express interest in potentially implementing these scrapped elements as DLC if he's given the greenlight.

** Suda had bigger plans for the part after Travis [[spoiler:gets killed by Henry]], which he wasn't able to make due to time and budget constraints. The original idea was that Travis gets sent to a place called Blackhole Prison and meets Fleming from ''VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheDamned'' for a boss battle. Afterwards it would be revealed he is Midori Midorikawa's father. It would've also included some more details on how the game is also connected to ''VideoGame/TheSilverCase''.
