* OpeningBossBattle: The game begins right before Travis fights Skelter Helter into a boss battle, without any preceding hack-and-slash level gameplay. Skelter is ranked 51st in the UAA, so his defeat puts Travis back into the assassin rankings. He's also [[WakeUpCallBoss surprisingly difficult]], especially on [[HarderThanHard Bitter]].

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Travis can't believe Sylvia when she says he's just fought an undead child powered by the devil. This is coming from a guy whose master's ghost ran his own gym for a while after dying, guided him through a forest, and handed him a farewell note. This boss was at the first of three [[AkashicRecords Akashic points]] in the game. The mere fact that he even got there by some strange sort of teleportation should tell him something's off.

Although a point can be made that he treads the line between heel and face during the course of the first game and a good portion of the sequel too. Indeed, if he weren't a merciless assassin, this would almost be a case of NeutralNoLonger, due to his attitude during most of the series. And then there's one of the ranked assassins, Shinobu, whom Travis spared, who becomes his ally and self-proclaimed apprentice.

* LaserBlade: In addition to bringing back the original Beam Katana and the purchasable Tsubaki-III, the game also introduces a large, thick orange laser blade that is slow but very powerful (Peony). Later still, Travis acquires two short, yet agility-friendly pink laser blades (Rose Nasty). One of the last bosses, Alice, can also ''shoot'' laser blades from her spider-like mechanical limbs.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: After Travis kills Alice, the 2nd ranked assassin, he unleashes all his bottled rage due to CharacterDevelopment at Sylvia. Except if you take the rant for yourself, it strikes ''really'' [[YouBastard close to home.]]

And that's why I'm tearing down the UAA!

* TheOneWhoMadeItOut: A major theme of the game is Travis' status as this in the [[CarnivalOfKillers UAA]]. During the events of [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes the first game]] he managed to kill his way up to being Rank 1 in the rankings and then just... left. When he eventually comes back and is forced to restart from the lowest rank, motivated by the new Rank 1 [[ItsPersonal killing his best friend]], multiple assassins, most notably [[DeathSeeker Alice Twilight]], ask how he managed to get away from both the lifestyle and UAA itself.

** As with the first game, some (but not all) of the highest-ranked assassins possess attacks that either kill Travis outright or deal enough damage to bring him closeenough. Also, unlike enough; Captain Vladimir's stronger version of his KillSat attack and Jasper's DestinationDefenestration trick come into mind.
** Unlike the first game, every single wrestling move is now an instant kill for every non-bossenemy.enemy. Also, Travis gains a new LimitBreak attack that turns him into a tiger and allows him to chew the then-horrified mooks to instant death.

* OptionalBoss: Kimmy, a school girl with an unhealthy obsession over Travis. You only fight her if you don't go back to the Motel between fights with Charlie and Matt, making her the only assassin in the series who's optional.

* ParryingBullets: Nearly all manner of attacks, and in this case, bullets, can be Parried. It's especially advised to learn how to do this, as later enemy positions will place normal gun and machine gun Mooks to snipe at Travis from an advantageous distance, and a major protip for those facing Chloe Walsh: this will be your lifeline in her stage, especially on Bitter.

** The game flirts with this in the fight against Matt Helms, who's basically one giant slasher villain homage, and who's backstory is one of the few times the game and its predecessor deals with supernatural elements (his stage is even reached through an Akashic Point, another one of the rare supernatural elements).

* PerpetualPoverty: Travis still lives in a motel despite all the money he gathered in his previous adventure; since three years passed between the events of both games, he likely spent on anime merchandise and games once again. It's also revealed that at one point [[spoiler:he commissioned a ''full-scale and fully functional replica of a HumongousMecha from one of his favorite animes'']].

Added DiffLines:
* PlayerHeadquarters: The No More Heroes Motel, like in the first game. It now lets Travis move around and play several minigames, other than occasionally talking to his friends, since the lack of a playable overworld would render all his destinations inaccessible otherwise.
Added DiffLines:
* PopGoesTheHuman: One of the bosses is Mimmy, a strange little girl who Henry fights in a dream. After he defeats her, he stabs her in the back, which somehow causes her to inflate to enormous proportions until she explodes. It's bloodless, but as weird as it sounds.
* PreClimaxClimax: [[spoiler:Sylvia, despite [[KarmaHoudini avoiding comeuppance for]] [[ManipulativeBastard scamming Travis in the first game]], ''does'' make good on her promise to hook up with Travis, but instead of waiting for him to get to Rank 1, she visits him right before his fight with [[BigBad Pizza Batt, Jr.]]. [[SexyDiscretionShot Obviously, we don't see anything]], but their lovemaking is implied to be [[GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex hot]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO6nTaDDnFU See for yourself.]]]] In addition, this causes [[spoiler:a RelationshipUpgrade from a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold brash and uncouth, but surprisingly gentle guy]] and a possessive and berating, yet sweet lady, with ''tons'' of UnresolvedSexualTension to the OfficialCouple. You can tell they're not just FriendsWithBenefits when Sylvia refers to Travis as "''my'' [[TitleDrop No More Hero]]". There's no word if Jeane (Sylvia's daughter [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse who only appeared in an epilogue from the first game]]) is their child though.]]
* PredatoryBusiness: Pizza Bat, which has hurt the local fast food places like Burger Suplex.
* PromotedToPlayable: The game has missions where Shinobu and Henry are playable. They first appeared in the first game as bosses.

Added DiffLines:
* {{Superboss}}: Completing the GameWithinAGame ''Bizarre Jelly 5'' in the hardest difficulty level without losing a life unlocks a HarderThanHard setting for it. It adds an extra boss that is smaller than the standard one, but it's ''much'' stronger as it employs a BulletHell sequence that is harder to dodge; it is more enduring as well.
