| 12 | -> ''Voiced by: Beng Spies'' |
| 13 | |
| 14 | -> "Newsflash, big guy: you can wax on, wax off all you like. I'm still kicking your ass." |
| 15 | |
| 16 | The player character of ''God Hand'', Gene is a 23-year-old wisecracking drifter [[BloodKnight who really likes beating people up]], and firmly believes that he has a "macho" exterior. However, he earnestly has a strong sense of justice and upon witnessing a young woman being attacked by a gang of demons, immediately runs in to save her. Things don't go quite as planned, and Gene ends up getting [[AnArmAndALeg his own right arm hacked off]]. The woman, named Olivia, shows her gratitude by replacing it with one of the legendary God Hands. With this new power, Gene is now fully capable of going toe-to-toe with even the most powerful of demons... [[ComesGreatResponsibility but he is also obligated to rescue those under the yoke of Demonkind]]. And if he doesn't comply, Olivia will simply take the God Hand back, preferably with a hatchet. |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Rare example where the ArrogantKungFuGuy is both the hero and has the skill and strength to back up his arrogance. Gene is extremely self-assured in his own skills and faces most enemies with an air of bravado. However, he also has one of [[spoiler: -- and in the end, both of --]] the [[AppliedPhlebotinum God Hands]] so this also verges into SmugSuper territory. |
| 19 | * AdaptationDyeJob[=/=]DependingOnTheArtist: The concept artwork has Gene's hair as ivory white, but in the actual game itself, his hair is more of a darker brown-brunette. |
| 20 | * BadassLongcoat: Wears a rather unique long coat with one of the sleeves rolled up and the other cut off, due to losing his original arm. Although somewhat amusingly, this was averted in a flashback where he had the same coat on... but was pretty much in a CurbstompBattle when he tried to save Olivia from the 3 Evil Stooges. |
| 21 | * BadassTransplant: Well, he wasn't born with the God Hand. |
| 22 | * BloodKnight: While being stuck with the God Hand is a pain in the ass, Gene finds some solace in getting good fights out of it. His involvement in the plot started because he wanted to pick a fight and the 3 Evil Stooges harassing Olivia were in the right place at the right time. |
| 23 | * BruceLeeClone: Several of his mannerisms, particularly [[AsskickingPose his pose after]] '''Dragon''' Kick, are reminiscent of the Dragon himself. He also has a flying kick and one-inch punch in his repertoire. |
| 24 | * ChivalrousPervert: Tries to get grabby with Olivia and has a little too much enjoyment out of spanking female enemies but will step in to save any cute babe in harm's way. |
| 25 | * CombatPragmatist: He's one, and you better become one while controlling him. He can throw stuff, use wooden beams and clubs, and a number of his moves involve [[GroinAttack nutshots]]. |
| 26 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He might wear a black coat with a unique but menacing skull design on the back of it, and overall has a jerkish attitude, but he IS the hero of the story. |
| 27 | * EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:For the climactic battle with the Demon King Angra, Gene bears ''both'' God Hands. Angra has a habit of summoning the game's DemonicSpiders into his arena, which now are lucky to survive two hits.]] |
| 28 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] and [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]]. He would eventually get an expy in the form of Nero from ''[=DMC4=]''. |
| 29 | * GoodIsNotNice: There's no denying that Gene's got a good heart, but the guy really goes along with Olivia's orders so he can brawl with as many demons as he can. |
| 30 | * HeroicNeutral: PlayedWith. He has no problem fighting demons and rescuing people of his own volition, but he's not very keen on going on a quest and only does so under the threat of Olivia [[AnArmAndALeg taking back the God Hand]] and even then he only fully commits when she gets kidnapped by Azel. |
| 31 | * HoldingBackThePhlebotinum[=/=]WillfullyWeak: Keeps the full power of his God Hand under wraps with his [[PowerLimiter Deistic Brace]] for the most part. By doing so, the effect is that much stronger when he actually does [[BraggingThemeTune summon up the power of the God Hand]]. |
| 32 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As much as he denies it, he is undoubtedly concerned about Olivia's safety, and even comforts her after she relates her DarkAndTroubledPast. His official description even describes him as a "''dusty 'have fist; will travel' rambler'' (with) ''a keen sense of justice and a kind nature, although he is rather outspoken and tends to complain a lot''". |
| 33 | ** Just as well, he bemoans Olivia when she informs him of citizens that need saving, but doesn't give a second thought to stopping demons he encounters harassing people. |
| 34 | *** [[BloodKnight That, or he just revels in the excuse to beat more demons up.]] |
| 35 | *** [[TakeAThirdOption Why not both?]] |
| 36 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Gene was just some penniless schmuck who happened to find Olivia being accosted by demons, and decided to play the hero so he could have an excuse to fight someone. One emergency transplant later, and he finds himself with the God Hand and things just roll on from there. |
| 37 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Gene's Rock-A-Bye, a chill surf rock tune which plays during the first chapter and after finishing every other chapter. Broncobuster, a manic, sped-up version of the song, plays as his ThemeMusicPowerUp upon unleashing the God Hand. |
| 38 | * LevitatingLotusPosition: Two of his God Roulette moves have him regain health in a floating LotusPosition -- Zen Revival and Enlightenment, which heal 30% and 100%, respectively. |
| 39 | * LimitBreak: Gene's new appendage allows him to perform both of the most common varieties. |
| 40 | ** Once the [[ManaMeter Tension Gauge]] fills, it becomes possible to [[SuperMode unleash the God Hand]], giving Gene faster, uninterruptable, unblockable attacks and nigh-invulnerability. |
| 41 | ** God Orbs can be collected and spent on the God Reel, a list of powerful and cinematic attacks. |
| 42 | * MrFanservice: Not regularly, as he dresses fairly conservatively, but one of his alternate outfits is his own version of the skimpy outfits that Mr. Gold and Mr. Silver wear, plummeting him straight into this trope. |
| 43 | * MrViceGuy: Gene tends to be [[ChivalrousPervert a bit of a pervert]] and an [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]], yet he's the first to save someone in need. |
| 44 | * PetTheDog: |
| 45 | ** PlayedForLaughs. Although he's normally a disrespectful bully towards virtually every enemy he faces, he shows genuine concern for Great Sensei when he trips and falls during his intro cutscene. |
| 46 | ** PlayedStraight in his final fight against [[spoiler:Elvis]], and even after. After he takes him out for good, he says that if things were different they may have been friends, and when [[spoiler:Shannon]] mocks his death, Gene in an outrage [[WhatDoesHeSeeInHer asks what he even saw in her]]. |
| 47 | * PointlessBandAid: For some reason, Gene has a band-aid on his left cheek. |
| 48 | * PowerOfTheGodHand: Indeed, [[BraggingThemeTune god power keeps his pimp hand strong]]. |
| 49 | * PunchedAcrossTheRoom[=/=]HomeRunHitter: A great deal of his techniques will send enemies flying, lesser {{Mooks}} especially. Dragon Kick is one of the more notable cases: not only does Gene actually [[BraggingThemeTune Dragon Kick their ass]] [[ATwinkleInTheSky into the Milky Way]], but he sends them on a round trip to boot. |
| 50 | * {{Shoryuken}}: His Laughing Dragon Punch, usable once an enemy has been [[LauncherMove juggled high enough into the air]]. |
| 51 | * SignatureMove: While all of his god reel moves are recognizable on their own, two of them stand out far above the rest. The first, Dragon Kick, is memetically iconic for what [[ATwinkleInTheSky it does to enemies]] and is usually the first thing to get brought up when other media does a ShoutOut to ''God Hand''. The second one is Shaolin Blast, the final and most powerful roulette move Gene can find, which in inclusion to its power, is also the ''only'' skill that [[spoiler: changes when Gene gets the second god hand for the final boss]], making it seem intended to be his bread and butter ultimate attack. |
| 52 | * SNKBoss: [[spoiler:Double God Hand Gene in the 51st arena match.]] |
| 53 | * SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Several of his God Roulette moves see Gene using phantasmic constructs, such as baseballs (Wild Pitch), bats (Home Run God), and even [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam gigantic]] [[Film/KungFuHustle exploding]] [[VideoGame/GoldenSun hands]] (Shaolin Blast/[[spoiler:Double Shaolin]]). |
| 54 | * SuperMode: Unleashing his God Hand by releasing his Deistic Brace, naturally. |
| 55 | ** He's in one of the cards in the Heroes and Heralds mode for the latter, at least. His card causes the opponent to "Level Down" and you to "Level Up" when you land a [[SwitchOutMove Snapback]]. |
| 56 | * WouldHitAGirl: Not to mention [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown stomp]] and spank them. |
| 57 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: He uses a DDT to finish his "Stinger" combo and can counter enemy grabs with a German Suplex. |

| 60 | [[folder:Olivia]] |
| 61 | |
| 62 | [[quoteright:197:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/GodHandOlivia_2216.png]] |
| 63 | -> ''Voiced by: Bettina Bush'' |
| 64 | |
| 65 | One of the last survivors of her clan, the guardians to the God Hands.\ |
| 66 | After barely escaping her clan's massacre, she was entrusted with the right God Hand by her father but almost lost it in an ambush by Bruce and Felix, from which Gene lost ''his'' right arm saving her. Olivia has grafted the right God Hand to his arm as "thanks", and she lords it over him while he smacks down the demon hordes and searches for the left God Hand. |
| 67 | ---- |
| 68 | * AncientOrderOfProtectors: Her clan has protected the God Hands for centuries. [[spoiler:As a member of said clan, Olivia is completely immune to their power.]] |
| 69 | * AxCrazy: Acts this way to keep Gene in line. |
| 70 | * BathingBeauty: At the beginning of Stage 6. When Gene walks in on her in such a state, Olivia merely presents him with a Roulette scroll she found (La Bomba 2), but the catch is that he has to rescue civilians enslaved by demons in the mountains as a favor, and if Gene doesn't comply, Olivia's more than happy to acquaint him with her good friend Mr. Hatchet. [[CrazyPrepared That she had]] [[CantBatheWithoutAWeapon in the tub]]. |
| 71 | * GoodIsNotNice: Olivia shares this with Gene. She is very willing to use the stick instead of the carrot, and threatens to take the God Hand back if Gene doesn't listen. |
| 72 | * HammerSpace: Her axe has an apartment there. |
| 73 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She likes to get under Gene's skin, and isn't above threatening him with violence in order to get what she wants, but she ultimately cares about his well-being. |
| 74 | * JustHitHim: She bosses Gene around relentlessly, including threatening him with a hatchet, but he never fights back despite having the power of God in his hand. [[spoiler:Even if he did, the God Hand wouldn't affect her at all.]] |
| 75 | * KickMePrank: You can say it's thanks to ''her'' that the bad guys are throwing down on Gene. If she didn't slap that sign on his back, he could probably walk around unnoticed by most people. But then, we'd have no game, so... |
| 76 | * ManipulativeBitch: Sure, her motives are (mostly) altruistic, but it's hard to consider Olivia a {{Guile Hero}}ine when she's clearly stringing along Gene with such rampant glee. |
| 77 | * MsFanservice: To the extent of having lots of pics of her viewable in the pause screen for no apparent reason. |
| 78 | * NoSell: [[spoiler: The ending cutscene reveals she can't actually be harmed by the power of both God Hands, let alone one.]] |
| 79 | * PlayboyBunny: One of her outfits. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | [[/folder]] |
| 82 | |
| 83 | !Villains |
| 84 | |
| 85 | !!The Four Devas |
| 86 | |
| 87 | [[folder:Belze]] |
| 88 | |
| 89 | [[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/GodHandBelze_1175.png]] |
| 90 | -> ''Voiced by: Creator/DaranNorris'' |
| 91 | |
| 92 | -> "I don't trust dirty humans." |
| 93 | |
| 94 | He is the leader of the Four Devas. The oldest, most loyal servant of Angra, Belze is fond of holding meetings and wearing cheap suits. He wants nothing more than to resurrect his master and thinks of humans as mere filth. He doesn't like it when Shannon puts her feet on his precious table. He tends to sit on the sidelines while his underlings do all the dirty work for him, but what will he do when he himself is forced to battle Gene? |
| 95 | ---- |
| 96 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Averted and defied. Gene never fights Belze's human form, and it is pointed out that he has horrible taste in suits. |
| 97 | * BadBoss: He's very prone to insulting his subordinates over their incompetence. |
| 98 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: His demon form is basically a giant fly and shares many similarities with Beelzebub, the demonic "Lord of the Flies" in Judeo-Christian Lore. Even his name is remarkably similar. [[{{Foreshadowing}} His comments about insects might have given this impression before, though.]] |
| 99 | * ClippedWingAngel: He transforms into a second form partway through his boss battle which has more attacks, but they're all easier to dodge than his old attacks, and it's prone to simply sitting still at random points during the fight. |
| 100 | ** He's never fought in 'human' form, but his full-demon form may be this anyway; it's definitely the easiest fight with any of the Four Devas, despite being their leader and being fought near the end of the game. |
| 101 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Takes badly to Shannon and especially Azel mocking the death of Elvis, since he was a member of their group. Shannon can just about get away with it since she's also a demon, but the human Azel cracking wise about it is enough to make Belze blow his top.]] |
| 102 | * FantasticRacism: Thinks all humans are inferior to demons. |
| 103 | * IGaveMyWord: [[spoiler:When Gene defeats him in his demon form, he follows through on his deal to say where Olivia was taken, though not without saying that Angra would be released to the world.]] |
| 104 | * InterfaceScrew: He can spew a ball of bile that gets gunge all over the camera, restricting the player's vision. |
| 105 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's rude to virtually everyone he meets, and has no respect for those he deems inferior, such as [[FantasticRacism humans]]. |
| 106 | * MightyGlacier: He hits hard and has high health, but is slow. |
| 107 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Fly Flap, another surf rock tune overlaid with creepy theremin droning and a buzzing guitar solo that ends with elements of Flight of the Bumblebee. [[spoiler: It fits his true form as a giant grotesque fly monster.]] |
| 108 | * LooksLikeOrlok: His pointed, elongated ears, hooked nose, pale skin, and grayish-red eyes make him resemble Orlok. |
| 109 | * OneWingedAngel: His true form is that of a large, demonic fly, which he transforms into before fighting Gene. |
| 110 | * PurpleIsTheNewBlack: His black suit is actually a dark shade of purple. |
| 111 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are grayish-red, and he's the leader of the Four Devas. |
| 112 | [[/folder]] |
| 113 | |
| 114 | [[folder:Azel]] |
| 115 | |
| 116 | [[quoteright:183:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/GodHandAzel_3840.JPG]] |
| 117 | -> ''Voiced by: Creator/SamRiegel'' |
| 118 | |
| 119 | -> "In a world where only the strong survive, only the strongest of the strong rule." |
| 120 | |
| 121 | The newest member Belze's Four Devas and the possessor of the left God Hand, Azel chose to side with the demons to further his own goals, calling himself the Devil Hand. Being human, he often clashes with Belze. |
| 122 | ---- |
| 123 | * AGodAmI: "Behold, the power of a god." is one of his taunts. |
| 124 | * BadBoss: He makes no distinction between humans and demons, attacking both if they annoy him. |
| 125 | * LesCollaborateurs: He is a human who works with the demons who are out to conquer the world and enslave humanity. |
| 126 | * CoolShades: Is constantly seen wearing shades. |
| 127 | * EvilCounterpart: Eeeeyup. Azel went for the demonic side, and is fighting for his own interests. |
| 128 | * {{Expy}}: He is a combination of [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Wesker and Leon]] (in terms of looks) and [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Vergil]] (in terms of ulterior motives). |
| 129 | * FaceHeelTurn: Azel was engaged to Olivia before slaughtering (almost) the entire God Hand Clan and making off with the left God Hand. Whether or not he actually betrayed them or was planning an insurrection from the beginning is up to interpretation. |
| 130 | ** HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: After discovering that his motivations were just being manipulated by Angra to get himself released, he willfully surrenders the left God Hand to Gene moments before his [[HumanSacrifice death]]]]. |
| 131 | * GroinAttack: He has a Ball Buster of his own, and will use it to render Gene susceptible to a pummeling. |
| 132 | * {{Jerkass}}: He has no respect for anyone but himself. |
| 133 | * LeftHandedMirror: Ok, it's really his entire arm if you want to be technical. |
| 134 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Devil May Sly", a driving hard rock song with synthesizers that screams "rival battle". Its name is also a play on ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry''. On the other hand, "Duel Storm" is a reprise with greater emphasis on the synths and an intense solo which plays in the second phase of the game's penultimate BattleInTheRain. |
| 135 | * LightningBruiser: He's very fast, hits hard, and has high health. |
| 136 | * LightIsNotGood: He wears bright clothing consisting of white, red, and blue, but is an overall sinister and menacing character. |
| 137 | * MirrorBoss: The entire issue with fighting this guy is that he has the equivalent of Gene's powers and techniques. He can dodge like Gene, fight like Gene, and go super like him too. |
| 138 | * PowerOfTheGodHand: To be expected of the main character's [[TheRival rival]] and EvilCounterpart. |
| 139 | * PowerLimiter: Defied as another contrast to Gene. Perhaps his time spent with Olivia's clan and tenure with the Godhand itself gave Azel enough experience not to need one. |
| 140 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: If he grapples Gene, he'll rapidly punch or kick at him. The player can [[CounterAttack counter]] this by [[ButtonMashing mashing the PS2's square button]] until the animation ends, and if they're fast enough, Gene will send him flying away with a heavy punch or kick, doing notable damage. |
| 141 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Upon finding out that he's Angra's vessel, he willfully surrenders the left God Hand to Gene before the demon king sacrifices him]]. |
| 142 | * TheSocialDarwinist: "In a world where only the strong survive, only the strongest of the strong rule." |
| 143 | * TheStoic: He's calm and collected in most situations, showing little to no emotion. |
| 144 | ** NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:He freaks out when Angra possesses him]]. |
| 145 | * SuperMode: Has this in his second fight. It's nearly identical to Gene's. |
| 146 | * TokenHuman: To the Four Devas. |
| 147 | * WeaksauceWeakness: In his second fight, he can activate his SuperMode, rendering him (among other things) NighInvulnerable, mostly due to suddenly having a perfect ability to dodge attacks... unless you throw the urns scattered around the arena at him, which he'll take on the face every time. |
| 148 | ** There are also a couple of moves in Gene's repertoire that Azel is incapable of dodging or blocking, no matter what. |
| 149 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:He kills Bruce, Felix, and Conchita after they fail to kill Gene a second time. Subverted in that they don't seem to know who he is, mouth off to him, and attempt to take the left God Hand from him, meaning that he just killed them out of annoyance]]. |
| 150 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:After losing to Gene and getting possessed by Angra, he starts freaking out]]. |
| 151 | [[/folder]] |
| 152 | |
| 153 | [[folder:Shannon]] |
| 154 | |
| 155 | [[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/GodHandShannon_5612.JPG]] |
| 156 | -> ''Voiced by: Susan Chesler'' |
| 157 | |
| 158 | -> "Mortal men... so many uses. They can make such wonderful toys!" |
| 159 | |
| 160 | Shannon is the only female member of the Four Devas, who knows exactly what she wants. She doesn't care about the revival of Angra -- only seeking pleasures, partying, and her own fancies at any cost. She owns several poison chihuahuas and very much would like to make Gene into her "pet". Elvis has a big crush on her, while Gene just thinks she's an insane nympho. |
| 161 | ---- |
| 162 | * BadBoss: Her mooks in the first fight against her aren't immune to her ranged attacks, and she has no problem blasting through them in order to hit Gene. |
| 163 | * CombatSadomasochist: Sometimes when hitting her, she shouts [[TooKinkyToTorture "'''HARDER!'''"]] |
| 164 | * DarkActionGirl: She's both evil and a skilled combatant. |
| 165 | * DarkMagicalGirl: Has a staff that shoots hearts, uses magic to do interesting things to people, and is a demon. |
| 166 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Gene and Shannon's dialogue sounds like they just finished having sex after he defeats her the first time. |
| 167 | -->'''Gene:''' "I always seem to exceed women's expectations." |
| 168 | -->'''Shannon:''' "You certainly exceeded mine!" |
| 169 | -->'''Gene:''' "Ah yes, another satisfied customer." |
| 170 | ** Also this, which happens before their second fight: |
| 171 | -->'''Shannon:''' *pant* *pant* "You are so amazing! Hrnnn... OH!" |
| 172 | ** Her demon form, which is essentially herself riding atop a male figure bent in a sexual pose. Its waist ends in a maw full of teeth, [[DoubleEntendre in other words,]] [[VisualPun a sexual appetite.]] |
| 173 | * DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:Despite her attitude over his death, it's rather telling that she has a giant statue of Elvis being built in her territory]]. |
| 174 | * DumbBlonde: Averted. She is not a genius, but she isn't dumb either. This trope might actually be {{Inverted}}, considering she is the only one of the Four Devas to launch a sneak attack on Gene, and she also traps you in a cage with two EliteMooks in her first battle if you take the bait of the powerups inside it. |
| 175 | * {{Dominatrix}}: She has a very domineering and promiscuous personality, dresses in skimpy attire, and enslaves an entire town in order to draw out Gene and take the right God Hand from him. |
| 176 | * {{Expy}}: Her demeanor strays pretty close to two other Capcom demonesses: [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]] and [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening Nevan]]. |
| 177 | * FlunkyBoss: Will summon enemies to attack Gene if he goes inside the giant cage present during the first battle against her. |
| 178 | * ForcedTransformation: Capable of turning people into dogs. |
| 179 | * TheHedonist: She cares little about Belze's plan to revive Angra, only wanting to satisfy her desire for pleasure and partying. |
| 180 | * HighCollarOfDoom: Her outfit has a pretty big one. |
| 181 | * {{Jerkass}}: She's rude and dismissive in general, [[spoiler: and mocks Elvis for being weak after he dies, although it is implied she was actually distraught over his death, given how she had a statue built of him quickly after his death. Lampshaded by Gene when he wonders what Elvis saw in her anyway.]] |
| 182 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Gets the absolute bejeezus beaten out of her by the villagers she enslaved after Gene defeats her.]] |
| 183 | * KickChick: Primarily uses kicks if she's not swinging her wand around. |
| 184 | * KickTheDog: Literally does this to Gene if she turns him into a dog. |
| 185 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Rainy Rose, an electronic song with mewing vocals befitting her mocking nature. [[spoiler: The battle against her demon form]] uses Poison Queen, a much faster remix. |
| 186 | * MagicalGirl: Her fighting style in her first boss fight is a parody of the trope. |
| 187 | * MagicKnight: Uses a combination of physical and magical attacks in battle. |
| 188 | * MagicStaff: One that forms a heart at the tip, complete with an {{eye|sDoNotBelongThere}} in the center. |
| 189 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her hedonistic nature, blonde hair and close association to chihuahuas is seen by some players as a light parody of socialite Paris Hilton. |
| 190 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Her true form is a large, demonic cyclops merged with a demonic hound, and she takes this form in her last battle against Gene]]. |
| 191 | * RepulsiveRingmaster: She runs her own circus, and is one of the Four Devas. |
| 192 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her attire is very skimpy. |
| 193 | * SuccubiAndIncubi: She's a succubus. |
| 194 | * TooKinkyToTorture: Oh ''yeah''. |
| 195 | * ValleyGirl: She talks in this manner. |
| 196 | * TheVamp: Attempts to use her feminine wiles to woo Gene as a method of luring him in and stealing the right God Hand from him. It doesn't work out as planned. |
| 197 | * VillainousHarlequin: Her chequered outfit invokes this. |
| 198 | [[/folder]] |

| 200 | [[folder:Elvis]] |
| 201 | |
| 202 | [[quoteright:268:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/GodHandElvis_1746.JPG]] |
| 203 | -> ''Voiced by: Creator/JamiesonPrice'' |
| 204 | |
| 205 | -> "This little ''[[ForeignCussWord huevón]]'' is the ''God Hand?'' Oh, that's rich!" |
| 206 | |
| 207 | This fat, heavy cigar-smoking, potty-mouthed member of the Four Devas has a huge crush on Shannon and likes to eat humans. Seeing as how he really likes Shannon, he tries to prove his worth to her by fighting Gene. |
| 208 | ---- |
| 209 | * {{Acrofatic}}: He can dodge just as well as Gene can. |
| 210 | * AlasPoorVillain: In his death, Gene listens to his dying request, which was to tell his LoveInterest, Shannon, that he "was the bravest man he ever ([[KilledMidSentence met]])". After he dies, [[DueToTheDead Gene places his cigar atop him]] as he starts to disintegrate. Notably, this is the only scene in the game that's treated sorrowfully as opposed to [[PlayedForLaughs for laughs]] or [[RuleOfCool for cool factor]]. |
| 211 | * BadBoss: His mooks aren't immune to his flying headbutt, and he has no problem blasting through them in order to hit Gene. |
| 212 | * BaldOfEvil: He has a bald head to go with his evil nature. Mocking him over it [[BerserkButton is not recommended]]. |
| 213 | * BeardOfEvil: He has a goatee that reflects his status as a demon. |
| 214 | * BellyMouth: [[spoiler: His demon form has a large mouth on its stomach]]. |
| 215 | * BerserkButton: Goes into a violent rage when Gene mocks him for being bald. |
| 216 | * BigOlEyebrows: He has a pair of large eyebrows. |
| 217 | * BigFun: A rare villainous example, although he is not a jolly person overall, he is the most comedic and humane in terms of emotionalness out of all the Four Devas. |
| 218 | * TheBigGuy: Easily the largest Deva in either form. |
| 219 | * CigarChomper: Never seen without his huge cigar. It's the same one, since he's on a budget. |
| 220 | * ClusterFBomb: By way of the {{Foreign Cuss Word}}s. |
| 221 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: When some of his demonic minions show disrespect to a dead human they're throwing in a grave, he punches them to the moon and does a respectful gesture towards the grave. He also helps out an old man with arthritis. |
| 222 | * FatBastard: He's both fat and prone to eating people. |
| 223 | * ForeignCussWord: Often says things like "''pendejo''" (motherfucker), "''a la mierda''" (hell with it), and "''cabrón''" (bastard) around pretty much everyone. |
| 224 | * FlunkyBoss: Is aided by a pair of knife-wielding mooks in the second battle against him. |
| 225 | * FriendlyEnemy: With Gene. |
| 226 | -->'''Gene''': "You know, if you weren't a demon, [[spoiler:we could have been friends]]." |

| 229 | * JustEatHim: [[spoiler: During the final battle with him, he'll devour Gene if he doesn't escape his chewing attack in time, killing him instantly]]. |
| 230 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Smoking Roll, a goofy disco piece with blabbering, Elvis Presley-esque vocals, accompanies his first two boss battles. Smoke Out is a slower DarkReprise with ominous organs which plays for [[spoiler: his final battle in his demon form.]] |
| 231 | * LaughablyEvil: Jesus, is he ever. |
| 232 | * LightningBruiser: In both human and demon forms, he hits like the tank he weighs as much as. This does not stop him from being faster than Gene. |
| 233 | * MagnificentMoustachesOfMexico: He is Hispanic, and has a long moustache to reflect this. |
| 234 | * MadLove: To Shannon, as she always rejects Elvis's affections. |
| 235 | * NobleDemon: Does not seem to be all that evil for a lord amongst demons. He makes a point of [[TwinkleInTheSky punching two demons]] who were disrespecting a human body while throwing it in a grave. |
| 236 | ** He is late to a meeting because he was helping an old man out with his arthritis, [[BlatantLies saying that the man wasn't worth eating]] because he had no meat on his bones, and "meat" that old is too tough anyway. |
| 237 | ** As Shannon puts it: |

| 241 | * PlayingWithFire: Can throw fireballs and cause firestorms around him. |
| 242 | * SecondFaceSmoke: One of his attacks, which obscures [[SmokeOut Gene's vision]]. He later upgrades it to [[KillItWithFire cause a firestorm]] around him. |
| 243 | * ShoutOut: Often accompanied by an Music/ElvisPresley reference. |
| 244 | --> '''Belze''': [[spoiler:"[[KilledOffForReal Elvis has left the building.]]"]] |

| 252 | ->''Voiced by: Creator/JamiesonPrice'' |
| 253 | |
| 254 | A FallenAngel, cast down into hell for his pride. The lord of all demons, Angra, filled with anger and hatred, raised an army of spirits and demons in a bid to take over the world of humans. Angra ''would'' have succeeded; however, a mysterious man with no name appeared and his arms were blessed with the holy power of God. He fought and defeated the demon army, before finally beating the crap out of and sealing Angra away, sending him back down to whence he came. The people he had saved, grateful for this brave savior, gave him the name of "God Hand." The man's arms, the God Hands, were then given to a clan that would protect them from evil, should they be needed again. In the present day, the Four Devas are working to revive Angra, and possibly capture the God Hands to ensure that nothing interferes. |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: He's so huge that he can't fit on the platform you fight him on, instead hovering around it. |
| 257 | * BackgroundBoss: A rare 3D variant. He's too huge to fit on the platform you fight on, instead hovering around the edge, so you can only attack his face, or his hands if he misses punching you. It's almost like fighting Giant Baby Bowser from VideoGame/YoshisIsland. |
| 258 | * BigBad: He's the cause behind the demon outbreak. |
| 259 | * BreathWeapon: Can breathe fire at Gene. |
| 260 | * CleanDubName: He went from a well-known figure to a more obscure, but no less worse one, but why else would he be SATAN in Japan and Demon King Angra everywhere else? |
| 261 | * DarkIsEvil: His pitch-black hide is symbolic of his evil nature. |
| 262 | * DamageSpongeBoss: He has very high health, to the point where he's the only boss with ''two'' health bars. |
| 263 | * ElementalPowers: PlayingWithFire. |
| 264 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Has a deep voice to go with his status as the demon king. |
| 265 | * EyeBeams: Utilizes these in the battle against him. |
| 266 | * FlunkyBoss: Summons those pesky demons periodically during your fight with him. And just to show how powerful Gene has gotten and how much more powerful Angra is, they have signifcantly less health and weaker attacks. |
| 267 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: He has bright red eyes, and is the king of demons. |
| 268 | * GreaterScopeVillain: For most of the game, it looks like Belze is pulling all the strings. |
| 269 | * HandBlast: Can shoot fire from his hands. |
| 270 | * HellishPupils: Has slit pupils that reflect his demon heritage. |
| 271 | * LargeAndInCharge: He's the largest demon in the game, and is also their king. |
| 272 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Anthem of [=SATAN=], a classically organ- and chanting-heavy final boss theme with a triumphant guitar section representing [[spoiler: Gene using the power of both God Hands.]] |
| 273 | * MeaningfulName: Well, while why he's called Satan in the original script is obvious, his localized name "Angra" likely comes from Angra Mainyu, the GodOfEvil in {{UsefulNotes/Zoroastrianism}}. |
| 274 | * MightyGlacier: Big and slow, but has an immense amount of health. |
| 275 | * MookMaker: He can summon [[DemonicSpiders demons]] from his mouth, but don't worry, because by this point you're super powerful, and they only take a few hits to kill. |
| 276 | * ObviouslyEvil: He ''is'' {{Satan}} (or a SatanicArchetype, depending on the region), after all. |
| 277 | * PlayingWithFire: Many of his attacks utilize fire. |
| 278 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His red eyes show just how evil and dangerous he is. |
| 279 | * {{Satan}}[=/=]SatanicArchetype: Depending on the region. |
| 280 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: In Japan, he is "SATAN," not "Satan." |

| 290 | |
| 291 | A trio of demons serving the Four Devas, they are comprised of Bruce (the horned brute), Felix (thin guy in green), and Conchita (she whips it good). Felix is the one who severed Gene's arm. Once Gene gains the God Hand, he believes a little payback is in order. |
| 292 | ---- |

| 295 | * BattleThemeMusic: "Yet Oh See Mind". |
| 296 | %%* BeardOfEvil: Bruce. |
| 297 | * BoomerangComeback: If you attack Felix after he throws his boomerang, this will happen to you at least once. And for extra added fun, it will manuever behind Gene if you try to side-dodge it. |
| 298 | * BreathWeapon: Felix can breathe a stream of green gas that drains Gene's health and blocks his vision. |
| 299 | * TheBrute: Look at their photo and take a guess. |

| 301 | * CarryABigStick: Bruce wear spiked maces over his hands. |
| 302 | * {{Dominatrix}}: Conchita. She may or may not have trained her partners, as Bruce calls her "Madame Conchita". |
| 303 | * DualBoss: or Trio Boss, depending on when they're fought. The first time they take on Gene, they have one member fight him at a time. The second time, two to three of them fight you at once. |
| 304 | * DumbMuscle: Played completely straight with Bruce. He struggles to form sentences more than three words long, to the point where he gains a vacant stare and begins to drool when trying to come up with a come back. |
| 305 | * {{Expy}}: Of the Dorombo Gang from ''Anime/TimeBokan''. |
| 306 | * FriendlyFire: Felix and Conchita aren't immune to Bruce's charge attack, taking damage and flying across the room if they get hit by it. |
| 307 | * GoldfishPoopGang: While a reoccurring threat that can kick Gene's teeth in if the player is careless, they do not actually get any stronger. |
| 308 | * ItsPersonal: Sometime in the past, Bruce and Felix were harassing Olivia. Gene, pre-God Hand, tried to step in, only to get his arm cut off. Gene, post-God Hand, is not happy to see them at all. |
| 309 | * LameComeback: Kind of a running gag, courtesy of Bruce and his five brain cells. |
| 310 | * LeanAndMean: Felix. |
| 311 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: As above, Felix and Bruce are responsible for making Gene the God Hand. |
| 312 | * PoisonousPerson: Felix's breath is toxic, draining Gene's health on contact. |
| 313 | * PowerFist: Bruce has spiked steel balls for his hands. |

| 318 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Azel kills Bruce, Felix, and Conchita after they fail to kill Gene a second time. Subverted in that Azel just killed them because they were in his way, and that they don't seem to know who he is]]. |

| 326 | Gene runs into these flamboyant twins early in Stage One. They apparently work for Elvis and will make passes at Gene during their battle. |
| 327 | ---- |
| 328 | * AssKicksYou: One of their attacks is to scoot towards you, ass-first. |
| 329 | * BattleCouple: It's unclear if they're actually a couple, but a few of their attacks are preceded by thrusting their pelvises in each others' direction, which strongly suggests they are at least lovers. |
| 330 | * CampGay: They speak in very feminine voices, they are prone to yelling [[DoubleEntendre "Here I come~!"]] before attacking, and their outfits include feathers. Not so much CampGay as Entire National Wildlife Preserve Gay. |
| 331 | * CombinationAttack: They have two. For the first, one will hang from the other's shoulders and they spin uncontrollably around the arena. The other is an unblockable grab where Mr. Silver will throw Gene back and Mr. Gold will spike him onto the floor (and only Mr. Silver can initiate this attack; if Mr. Gold grabs Gene, he'll simply knee him in the face repeatedly). That last one is also [[ThatOneAttack very painful and tricky to avoid at times]], so don't get hit with it, or else kiss your spine goodbye. |
| 332 | * DeathFromAbove: One of their attacks is to jump high into the air, then do a dive kick. |
| 333 | * DualBoss: Further reinforcing their educational role in the game, they will show how fighting more than one man at a time is exponentially harder than a one-on-one. |
| 334 | * EunuchsAreEvil: Mr. Silver is an eunuch, which is revealed upon examining his body after his death. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration This even makes him immune to the]] [[GroinAttack Ball Buster.]] |
| 335 | --> '''Gene''': "Doesn't look like he was packing much heat. Must have lost them in the great war." |
| 336 | * {{Expy}}: As a dark-skinned, MachoCamp, musclebound duo they're are dead ringers of Samsom and Adon from ''VideoGame/ChoAniki''. |
| 337 | * GroinAttack: One of their attacks is getting on one knee and uppercutting Gene in the crotch. Like many other nutshots, it [[HPToOne reduces his health to a single hit point]]. |
| 338 | * HardGay: Their outfits also include biker-esque attire. |
| 339 | * MachoCamp: They have over the top effeminate personalities and walk in a girly way. |

| 366 | * BattleThemeMusic: "Sunset Heroes". |
| 367 | * BerserkButton: Joker hates being imitated, as shown in the introductory cutscene before the rematch against them. |
| 368 | * {{Crossdresser}}: Heart wears a skirt despite being male. Examining his body after defeating him in the rematch reveals that he's not too fond of it, though. That or it's a BringMyBrownPants and/or UrineTrouble situation. |
| 369 | --> '''Heart''': "I think I need a change of pants." |
| 370 | * EnergyWeapon: They can fire them from the crests on their helmets. |

| 375 | --> '''Spade''': "Maybe I'll get to be the leader in [[BreakingTheFourthWall the sequel."]] |
| 376 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Sunset Heroes". |
| 377 | * LittlePeopleAreSurreal: An entire squad of goofy midgets. They're so bizarre that, for the first and only time in the game, [[SarcasmFailure Gene can't come up with a decent joke]], opting instead to just mutter, ''"Douchebags!"'' |
| 378 | * NotQuiteDead: They survived the beatdown they received in the rematch against them, as the comments made when examining their bodies are shown from their point of view. |
| 379 | * [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Manchildren]]: All of them really, as they pretend to be super heroes and have the outfits to match, but their leader Joker stands out in particular, as he yells and stomps his feet when Gene imitates him, then begins to cry noisily, but fitting the nature of this game this is all obviously played for laughs. |
| 380 | * {{Pun}}: How they introduce themselves. |
| 381 | ** "Card gone wild, ''Joker''!" |
| 382 | ** "One hard gangsta, ''Diamond''!" |
| 383 | ** "You can find me at the ''Club''!" |
| 384 | ** "Have your pet neutered or ''Spade''!" |
| 385 | ** "Owowowowow, I'm ''hurt''! I mean, ''Heart''!" |
| 386 | * RecurringBoss: They show up twice. The second time, they have a few upgrades... which barely helps them at all, considering that Gene has also been getting stronger. |
| 387 | * RollingAttack: Two of them can form a wheel together and roll at Gene. |
| 388 | * ThemeNaming: They are named after card suits, except their leader, who is named "Joker" (which still fits with the overall card theme, as Joker is the wild card). |
| 389 | * TornadoMove: One of their attacks in their rematch involves them stacking on top of each other before spinning around, forming a tornado around them in he process. It's very powerful, but makes them dizzy, leaving them vulnerable to a Stake Driver. |
| 390 | * WolfPackBoss: There's five of them, and they are far more dangerous with at least four fighters than they are with three or less. |

| 399 | * BattleThemeMusic: "Top of the Humans". |

| 401 | ** Eating his bananas before he can get to them will anger him. |
| 402 | * FlunkyBoss: Will summon weak enemies holding bananas for him to eat when low on health. |

| 406 | * PowerUpFood: He sometimes does a dance to summon a weak enemy holding a banana, who drops it after he barrels into him. If Gorilla Mask manages to get it first, it'll restore some of his health. You can take the banana before he eats it to heal you. Naturally, this will annoy him. |
| 407 | * PuzzleBoss: Gorilla Mask has all the strength you would expect from a gorilla [[spoiler:even though there is a zipper on his back]], and will quickly kill Gene with grapples that can't be interrupted by action commands until major damage is already done, but [[spoiler:he will quickly lose his stamina or fall down if he attempts to run after Gene, easily being punished]]. |

| 478 | A disco dancer who challenges Gene as one of the four trials he must overcome before he can reach Angra's altar. Can be seen enjoying the company of Conchita and a female wrestler enemy. |
| 479 | ---- |
| 480 | * DanceBattler: Moves in a dance-like manner while fighting Gene. |
| 481 | * DiscoDan: His costume and theme invoke 70's nostalgia. Lampshaded by Gene upon examining his body after his death. |
| 482 | -->'''Gene''': "What pit of 70's nostalgia did they drag this guy out of?" |
| 483 | * FlunkyBoss: Is assisted by a female wrestler enemy and [[DegradedBoss Conchita]] in battle. |
| 484 | * FunnyAfro: Has a large afro to go with his 70's aesthetic. |
| 485 | * GroinAttack: The finisher to his jab combo is a punch to the crotch, and if he grapples Gene, he'll repeatedly jab him there. |
| 486 | * KingMook: Despite looking completely different he shares the same pool of moves as the Kung-fu enemies, with some additional techniques as well as superior health and damage. |
| 487 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: His main method of attack. |
| 488 | * WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: His attacks involve little more than rapid jabs, but they're all he needs to get by. |

| 491 | [[folder:Dr. Ion]] |
| 492 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dr_ion.jpg]] |
| 493 | A clunky old robot with a pet bird that is considered a prospective member of the Devas. |
| 494 | ---- |
| 495 | * AchillesHeel: His need to keep himself powered up. |
| 496 | ** Gameplay-wise, Dr. Ion is incapable of blocking, so keeping offensive pressure on Ion makes his fight trivial. |
| 497 | * AssShove: When he's defeated for the first time, Dr. Ion attempts to crawl towards his charging seat. Gene takes a cut power cord, and promptly inserts it in the wrong port. |
| 498 | * BattleThemeMusic: "Battery Size AA" for his first fight, with a remix called "Battery Size D" for the optional rematch in Level 7. |
| 499 | * GrappleMove: Can grab and electrocute Gene if equipped with a claw hand during the rematch against him, dealing a lot of damage in the process. |
| 500 | * KillerRobot: Blends with his (possibly) demonic nature. |
| 501 | * MacrossMissileMassacre: Can fire a barrage of missiles at Gene when a missile launcher forms on one of his arms. |
| 502 | * MightyGlacier: He's slow, but has high health and attack power. |
| 503 | * OptionalBoss: The rematch against him in Level 7 is not required to advance to story, and he'll only fight Gene again if he destroys the monolith furthest from the starting point in the desert. |
| 504 | * PullingThemselvesTogether: Instead of flying across the room when hit with a launch attack, he breaks into multiple pieces, but reforms himself with the power of magnetism afterwards. He can also do this periodically, often equipping a different weapon in the process, which makes him more unpredictable. |
| 505 | * PuzzleBoss: Dr. Ion, at least on Level Die (and by extension, Hard Mode), will absolutely wreck you due to a combination of quick attacks and being ImmuneToFlinching...unless you remember you can dodge to the sides, which destroys him utterly. |
| 506 | * RocketPunch: He can launch his fists at Gene when they're not equipped with any weapons. |
| 507 | * ShockAndAwe: Most of his moves deal with him attempting to electrocute Gene. |
| 508 | * SixthRanger: Or Fifth Deva, in this case. If he defeats Gene, he gets a spot among the Devas. The other members don't think he has what it takes, though. |
| 509 | * ThisIsADrill: One of his attacks involves him jabbing Gene with a drill arm. |
| 510 | * TheVoiceless: The robot crow that accompanies him for the first fight talks. All it says is some variation on "Die!", or "What the hell?" when Gene lands a powerful attack on him. |

| 513 | [[folder:Ravel & Debussy]] |
| 514 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ravel_and_debussy.PNG]] |
| 515 | [[caption-width-right:350:Left - Debussy, Right - Ravel]] |
| 516 | -> ''Voiced by: Sam Riegel (Ravel), Fred Tatasciore (Debussy)'' |
| 517 | |
| 518 | "The rock duo from hell". Supposedly they sold their souls to the demons in order to gain great musical talent. Seems to not have worked so well in that sense, as they still suck as musicians. What these two got from the deal is being able to unleash powerful energy blasts from their instruments as they play. Ravel is the skinny guy who wields an electricity-shooting guitar. Debussy is the big guy who carries a drum set attached to his body, beatboxes, and sends shockwaves at Gene. They have another guitarist, but he's really just a skin swap of Ravel. |
| 519 | ---- |
| 520 | * CloudCuckoolander: Both of them, as a majority of Ravel's lines in his cutscenes are him treating everyone around him like his fanbase even though he barely knows them, and Debussy randomly taking a nap for no goddamned reason. |
| 521 | * DealWithTheDevil: They sold their souls to the demons in order to acquire great musical talent. [[DreadfulMusician It didn't work out]]. |
| 522 | * DualBoss: The second time you fight Ravel, he fights alongside Debussy. |
| 523 | * DreadfulMusician: Even with their DealWithTheDevil, they still lack musical talent. Lampshaded by Gene is he examines Ravel's body after his death. |
| 524 | -->'''Gene''': "I guess that was his last encore. Not that anyone asked for one." |
| 525 | * FaceHeelTurn: Like Azel, they are humans who sided with the demons for power. |
| 526 | * GlassCannon: Their long-range combos are very painful, but they have less health than many of the other bosses. |
| 527 | * MakeMeWannaShout: Debussy. Variation in that the soundwaves come from his drum, not his voice. |
| 528 | * MetalScream: Ravel's normal voice is perma-locked as this. |
| 529 | * MovesetClone: The second guitarist has all of Ravel's attacks. |
| 530 | * MusicalAssassin: All of them utilize weaponized music in battle. |
| 531 | * NoNameGiven: The second guitarist in non-Japanese releases. In Japan, he's simply known as Aniki, which is Japanese for "big brother", [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep and true to his name, he's Ravel's older brother]]. |
| 532 | * OptionalBoss: The second guitarist will only fight Gene if the player checks the bodies of Ravel and Debussy after defeating them. |
| 533 | * ThePowerOfRock: One of Ravel's attacks involves him shooting electric balls at Gene with his guitar. |
| 534 | * ShockAndAwe: Ravel. |
| 535 | * ThemeNaming: Named after a pair of classical composers. |
| 536 | ** StealthPun: Possibly named because '''Rave'''l is a raving rocker while '''Debu'''ssy is chunky (''debu'' being Japanese for such). |
