YMMV / Sukiyaki Western Django

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Boss Kiyomori, "Henry", is the loud and violent leader of the red Heike clan, and a coward who prefers using his own men as human shields. Roaming from town to town searching for gold, upon discovering some in an unnamed town, he murders the mayor and establishes his business there, going on to form a violent rivalry with the white Genji clan once they arrive. After Akira stands up to him and tries to run away with the Genji Shizuka and their son Heihachi, Kiyomori shoots Akira In the Back and rapes Shizuka. Leading an attack on the Genji clan for their Gatling gun, Kiyomori later massacres several Genji clan members himself to take the town's gold, uncaring how many he kills as long as he comes out on top.
  • Genius Bonus: It helps if you have a full understanding of Medieval Japanese history, Wars of the Roses, Western films and Shakespeare.
  • Magnificent Bastard: The Gunman is a roaming gunslinger looking for gold. Arriving into an unnamed town run by the rival Heikie and Genji clans, the Gunman chooses to instead side with retired assassin Ruriko and play both sides against each other. Tricking the Heikes into leaving town to attack the Genjis in order to save the poor Shizuka, he collaborates with Rukiro on her plan to summon the Heikes and the Genjis together with a chest containing gold in order to take them both out. Caught in a duel with Genji leader Yoshitsune, once the Gunman appears to be caught in a tight spot, he whips out a hidden derringer from his sleeve and kills him. Riding out of town with only a handful of the gold, he leaves it all to the young, mute Heihachi, leaving him with life advice so moving, the boy begins to talk again.
