* CompleteMonster (by release date):
** ''VideoGame/TheSilverCase'' games:
*** First game: [[TheManBehindTheMan Nezu]] is an [[ManBehindTheCurtain unassuming programmer]] who serves as the true head of the 24th Ward and the heart of the Kamui conspiracy. Helping Hachisuka get elected mayor by promising that he'll revolutionize the 24th Ward, Nezu would go on to shape the city's infrastructure to his liking for over 20 years, allowing crime to take place across the city while viewing it as his own playground. In truth keeping Hachisuka in power by making the other factions unbalanced, Nezu was responsible for the Kamui Maspro, choosing to mold children into copies of hitman Kamui Uehara due to him being a blank slate with very little emotion or free will. Partnering with Hachisuka to have thousands of [[WouldHurtAChild children]] forced to live in a dark shelter and brainwashed into becoming government assassins and {{empty shell}}s who Nezu can control to kill anybody to his liking, the children were also used to replicate Kamui's silver eyes by way of [[EyeScream surgical experimentation]], throwing them out onto the streets afterwards with their childhoods completely robbed.
*** ''VideoGame/TheTwentyFifthWard'''s "Matchmaker" scenario: [[{{Yakuza}} Shigino]] is a member of the Okiai Syndicate who works with the mayor and Postal Federation in their plan to create the newest generation of Kamui and spread chaos across the city. Tasked with gathering data on criminal power so that his superiors can harness its essence, Shigino pits the sides of preservation and destruction together in an attempt to shake up the Royal Adjustment Bureau. Having [[StalkerWithACrush an obsessive infatuation]] over Tsuki, Shigino, finding that [[{{Sadist}} he can only get off when his crush feels misery]], decides to ruin his life for sexual pleasure. This includes selling him out to the police; killing his friend and co-worker Yabukawa; and drugging his partner Osato enough to have him kill Okiai boss Ishiki. Abducting Osato to torturously extract his criminal power in front of Tsuki, Shigino spends his remaining moments happy to make his crush suffer.
** ''VideoGame/Killer7'''s "Encounter" scenario: [[ArcVillain Curtis Blackburn]] is a [[WouldHurtAChild pedophilic]] government [[PsychoForHire assassin]] working for Heaven Smile. Having killed his protégée Dan Smith once in the past, Blackburn is introduced killing a prostitute before massacring an office building. Blackburn regularly [[OrganTheft harvests the organs]] of abducted orphan girls he's raped to be sold on the black market and used in the Heaven Smiles creation process. When his partner Pedro cuts into his stock, Blackburn responds by killing his share of orphans, raping and murdering Pedro's wife, and [[DecapitationPresentation presenting him]] the head of his daughter Mary before coldly executing him.
** ''VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheDamned'': [[BigBad Fleming]] is the tyrannical ruler of [[{{Hell}} the Underworld]]. As ruler, he gruesomely kills his political opponents, instilling fear within his fellow demons. In the past, he chopped off the limbs of a huntress attempting to kill him. Impressed by her determination, he made her his queen, repeatedly killing her and reviving her for fun until she escaped. Taking [[PlayerCharacter Garcia Hotspur]]'s girlfriend, Paula, he torments Garcia throughout the game with her continuous death and resurrection. He sends his elite VIP demons out to stop Garcia, not caring when they're killed, only making them [=VIPs=] because he found their previous deaths amusing. Meeting Garcia again at his castle, he mockingly eats Paula's leg in front of him and tricks him into shooting Paula, ripping her still-living head off before declaring her his new bride. Seemingly defeated, Fleming immediately returns, almost getting Garcia to eat human burgers while sending his legion of demons to kidnap Paula again. A cruel being hated by both demon and human alike, Fleming, despite [[FauxAffablyEvil his charming personality]], stands out in such a humorous game.
** ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'': [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy Swan]] is a student at San Romero High School who uses {{necromancy}} to start a ZombieApocalypse as revenge for being mistreated at school. A [[LonersAreFreaks gothic outcast who was cruelly bullied]], Swan orders the zombies under his control to infect everyone in their path rather than only those who tormented him, which results in the deaths of many innocent people. Feeling enraged over [[PlayerCharacter Juliet Starling]] supposedly rejecting him, Swan's ultimate plan is to use Juliet as a pawn in his ritual to summon an enormous super zombie in order to destroy what he sees as a rotten world.
** ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroesIII'': [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Damon Ricotello]] is a former game designer and CEO of Utopina who [[VideoGame/TravisStrikesAgainNoMoreHeroes previously]] beat his co-worker Dr. Juvenile to near death to seize control over the video game ''Serious Moonlight'' because he didn't want his work going to waste. A petty businessman who remade Santa Destroy to his liking with hopes of ruling the world, Damon summons his childhood friend Prince FU and his Galactic Assassins to Earth to take revenge on [[Characters/NoMoreHeroesTravisTouchdown Travis Touchdown]] for beating him into submission. While supposedly uneasy over FU's plans of Earth's destruction, Damon lets it all slide, willing to put the entire world at risk just as long as Travis is killed. Once Travis makes his way to FU and defeats him, Damon [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kills FU]] in his [[WouldHurtAChild child form]], coldly dismissing him as nothing more than a tool before attempting to kill Travis himself.

** ''VideoGame/Killer7'''s "Encounter" scenario: [[ArcVillain Curtis Blackburn] is a [[WouldHurtAChild pedophilic]] government [[PsychoForHire assassin]] working for Heaven Smile. Having killed his protégée Dan Smith once in the past, Blackburn is introduced killing a prostitute before massacring an office building. Blackburn regularly [[OrganTheft harvests the organs]] of abducted orphan girls he's raped to be sold on the black market and used in the Heaven Smiles creation process. When his partner Pedro cuts into his stock, Blackburn responds by killing his share of orphans, raping and murdering Pedro's wife, and [[DecapitationPresentation presenting him]] the head of his daughter Mary before coldly executing him.

Starting with ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'',[[note]]and ironically lasting until ''Travis Strikes Again'', his directorial re-debut[[/note]] Suda hasn't had nearly as involved a role, and his games became frequent victims of ExecutiveMeddling, leading to a decline of the more serious satire - and yet many people still act as though Suda went downhill, when in reality, he just hasn't been doing everything in the first place. Even most non-fans' criticisms of him (poorly written or stereotypical female characters, unfunny sexual jokes, etc.) pretty much only apply to games he didn't write and direct himself.
