History YMMV / Killer7

* HellIsThatNoise: The Heaven Smiles' laughter is easily the most iconic part of the game.
* HoYay: Travis' description of how he got killed by the Killer7 is pretty suggestive.
* NightmareFuel: After fighting [[spoiler: Andrei Ulmeyda]], it becomes surprisingly hard for something in a game to scare you.

* UncannyValley: The boss of Angel, who has a stereotypical BESM anime face in a game where everyone is rendered more realistically.

** It's a case of AllThereInTheManual. ''Hand in killer7'' implies that [[spoiler: Emir has been reborn. Harman even says in the game that Emir was not a mortal being.]]

* CompleteMonster: Curtis Blackburn's entire existence is so that you feel better about playing as a group of assassins

** Most Smiles that appear as mid-bosses are usually this, since they normally require a single hit to kill.

** It's a case of AllThereInTheManual. ''Hand in killer7'' implies that [[spoiler: Emir has been reborn. Harman even says in the game that Emir was not a mortal being.]]
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Essentially the entire point of the game: the whole game revolves around the conflict between American/Western and Japanese/Eastern values.
** "What is 'United States'? What is the purpose of the President? -[[LampshadeHanging I'm Japanese, how the hell should I know?]]"

* '''''MindScrew''''': One of the most infamous examples to people who've played it, up there with the likes of ''MetalGearSolid2.''

* CompleteMonster Curtis Blackburn's entire existence is so that you feel better about playing as a group of assassins

* CrazyAwesome But of course.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome Mask De Smith ''headbutting a bullet out of the air''. Also, Dan effortlessly dodging the EyeBeam of and subsequently dispatching [[spoiler: Handsome Black]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse For a character that gets very little development, Con Smith is notably popular among fans of the game.

* ThatOneBoss Ayame Blackburn is ''ridiculously'' hard to hit and has a tendency to tag you with bullets every few seconds.

* TheUntwist [[spoiler:Garcian's identity and his murder of the other Smiths isn't just heavily foreshadowed, it's everything but flat-out stated long before TheReveal.]] Since this is a Suda51 game, opinions are divided on whether this is a poorly-executed TwistEnding, a parody of twist endings (a la ''NoMoreHeroes''), or a deliberate [[TheUntwist untwist]].

* DeliberateValuesDissonance Essentially the entire point of the game: the whole game revolves around the conflict between American/Western and Japanese/Eastern values.

* CompleteMonster (Curtis Blackburn's entire existence is so that you feel better about playing as a group of assassins)

* CrazyAwesome (But of course.)
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome (Mask De Smith ''headbutting a bullet out of the air''. Also, Dan effortlessly dodging the EyeBeam of and subsequently dispatching [[spoiler: Handsome Black]].

* ThatOneBoss (Ayame Blackburn is ''ridiculously'' hard to hit and has a tendency to tag you with bullets every few seconds.)

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible (No need to explain ''that''.)
* TheUntwist ([[spoiler:Garcian's identity and his murder of the other Smiths isn't just heavily foreshadowed, it's everything but flat-out stated long before TheReveal.]] Since this is a Suda51 game, opinions are divided on whether this is a poorly-executed TwistEnding, a parody of twist endings (a la ''NoMoreHeroes''), or a deliberate [[TheUntwist untwist]].)
** (But perhaps there is a hint of [[TwistEnding twist]], since [[spoiler:Emir apparently shot himself after killing the Smith Syndicate on the rooftop, meaning that he was dead, too.]])

* DeliberateValuesDissonance (Essentially the entire point of the game: the whole game revolves around the conflict between American/Western and Japanese/Eastern values.)

*** And the fact that you get plenty of [[PantyShot panty shots]], thanks to camera placements.

* AlasPoorVillain: Pedro is an organ smuggler and child trafficker, but holy shit, ''no one'' deserves what happens to him.

* ValuesDissonance (Essentially the entire point of the game: the whole game revolves around the conflict between American/Western and Japanese/Eastern values.)

** [[spoiler: Young Harman also has a ton of health (more than MASK) and a Tommy Gun with infinite ammo.]]

* AlasPoorVillain (Pedro is an organ smuggler and child trafficker, but [[spoiler: holy shit, NO ONE deserves what happens to him]].
** He deserved it, all right.
*** His family though? [[{{Understatement}} Not so much.]]
