History Characters / NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He only attacks Travis when he thinks the Americans have followed him to space. This is justified however since he's been stranded in space for over 20 years and is a little behind on the current political affairs.

* ClimaxBoss: The PreFinalBoss of ''Desperate Struggle'', and the person who kicks off Travis' emotional climax. In the aftermath of her defeat and death, Travis' character development reaches its conclusion as it finally hits him just how horrible the Ranking Matches between Assassins are. While he's still dedicated to his own ambitions of vengeance against Jasper Batt Jr., he vows to stop the Ranking Matches for good once it's all over; a promise he makes good on.

* PreFinalBoss: Of ''Desperate Struggle''. Only [[FinalBoss Jasper Batt Jr.]] remains after her.

* ClimaxBoss: The emotional climax of the game. In the aftermath of her defeat and death, Travis' character development reaches its conclusion as it finally hits him just how horrible the Ranking Matches between Assassins are. While he's still dedicated to his own ambitions of vengeance against Jasper Batt Jr., he vows to stop the Ranking Matches for good once it's all over. He makes good on that promise.

* BigBad: Unlike the first game which didn't have a clear antagonist, Jasper is undoubtedly the bad guy in ''Desperate Struggle'', being responsible for much of the state of Santa Destroy and Travis' revenge for the murder of Bishop.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Of a BatmanParody. A young boy, family murdered by a thug for cash, who vows revenge, uses his money to further that revenge, takes up the cowl of the bat in order to fight against his kind... and became a revenge-fueled killer instead of a superhero. Really, he's basically what would happen if Batman had none of his morality, honor and general human decency.

* EvilCounterpart: To Travis in a [[DownplayedTrope minor sense.]] They're both skilled assassins who drive motorcycles and are skilled in close-ranged beam weaponry while occasionally mixing in unarmed grapples.

* MirrorBoss: A light example, the man uses a similar beam-based sword to Travis, is quick on his feet, and even has an unarmed grapple similar to Travis' wrestling moves.

%%* EvilCounterpart: To Travis.

* MeaningfulName: The kanji of his name literally translates to "dragon controller." That's what he uses in battle.

* BonusBoss: In ''Heroes' Paradise''.

* BonusBoss: In ''Heroes' Paradise''.

* TrapMaster: He's rigged the room you fight him in with all sorts of contraptions and he'll activate them in the following order as he takes more damage: A dropping chandelier, machine gun turrets hidden in elevated statues, exploding potted plants, and hidden conveyor belts to scatter said plants across the room. During his BonusBoss fight in ''Heroes' Paradise'', he settles for a huge speaker that drops down and having the men in suits standing outside of the arena occasionally taking fire at Travis with their machine guns.

--> "I'm legit, and ''way'' tougher than I look! So, uh...don't go easy on me, 'k? 'cause one wrong move, and you're ''over''."

* BonusBoss: In ''Heroes' Paradise''.

* BonusBoss: In ''Heroes' Paradise''.

* {{Bishonen}}: Fittingly for a ''Final Fantasy''-inspired character, although less so than his long-haired brother.

* BladeOnAStick: Happens to be using a Beam Naginata (although the length of the blade suggests it's a nagimaki instead)

* EvilRedhead: She LOVES seeing other's pain and will not even attempt to hide her sadism at all as she is flirting. If she manages to kiss Travis, she will remark "Delicious".

* KissOfDeath: What she tries to do to Travis.

* EvilRedhead: She LOVES seeing other's pain and will not even attempt to hide her sadism at all even while she is flirting.

* BonusBoss: In both ''No More Heroes 2'' and ''Heroes' Paradise''. She's the only original bonus boss in the series -- in the former, she can be fought if Travis returns to the Motel in between ranking fights after beating Charlie [=MacDonald=]. Unlike most other examples of this, she becomes a mandatory fight as soon as the above trigger is fulfilled; the player cannot proceed with future bosses until she is defeated. And going by ''III'', her fight is canon.

The 50th ranked assassin in ''Desperate Struggle''. An Irish hip-hop rapper.

* TheUnfought: The assassins ranked 22nd through 11th are all killed off by Dr. Letz Shake, and three more, ranked 6th, 5th and a presumed challenger, are killed by Henry. Technically speaking, Travis never meets or deals with New Destroyman or Million Gunman.

* TheUnfought: Assassins 22 through 11 are all killed off by Dr. Letz Shake, and Assassins 4,5 and 6 are killed by Henry. Technically speaking, Travis never meets or deals with New Destroyman or Million Gunman.

* VaporWear: She is very scantily dressed and the straps barely cover her breasts.

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: His multiple-chambered revolver. [[AluminumChristmasTrees Shockingly]], this is [[http://firearmshistory.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-enouy-revolver.html based off a real gun patented in 1855]], though the reason you probably haven't seen it before is that less-than-shockingly, [[AwesomeButImpractical it's very heavy and unwieldy in real life]].

* AnAxeToGrind: [[MixAndMatchWeapon A flame-throwing axe.]]

* SinisterScythe: Her WeaponsOfChoice, the "Le Croissant Du Ange," which she [[DualWielding dual-wields]]. They also double as [[{{BFG}} .50 caliber sniper rifles]], and yes, [[GunsAkimbo she continues to use both at once]].

* IHaveTheHighGround: The pack she wears can extend her out of Travis' reach.

* LargeHam: [[UpToEleven Holy shit.]] Yuri Lowenthal was clearly having a good time doing voicework here.

* HateSink: There's a good reason as to why [=YouTuber=], The Quarter Guy, prefers to call him "Bastard Twat Jr.". He's utterly despicable in every way by design. Even discounting his actions during the game, his design is absurd for a final boss and only gets more and more absurd with every new form until even Henry can't stand to be near him and bails out mid-fight, and his second form is infamously difficult and cheap. He's the complete antithesis of a cool or likeable villain, and his boss battle reflects this.

* DarthVaderClone: His [[spoiler:face reveal and touching death after Travis breaks his helmet]] adds yet another ''Star Wars'' ShoutOut.

* AmbiguouslyGay: If not in reference to being a virgin, than "boys cannot crack this oyster shell" can really only mean one other thing.

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: His multiple-chambered revolver. [[AluminumChristmasTrees Shockingly, this is]] [[http://firearmshistory.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-enouy-revolver.html based off a real gun patented in 1855]], though the reason you probably haven't seen it before is that less-than-shockingly, [[AwesomeButImpractical it's very heavy and unwieldy in real life]].
