YMMV / No Straight Roads

• Accidental Aesop:
  • With the heroes being rockers and the villains being EDM musicians, some people have taken that as a message from the developers that they think rock is the superior genre. This obviously isn't what they think, since much of the games Awesome Music is EDM, and there is even a message in the credits clarifying that, yes, they love EDM too. The ending also makes it clear that the intended message is that no genre of music should ever be excluded.
    • Some popular mixes of the OST include in-game mixes that show mixtures between EDM and rock, so another aesop that can be inferred is that some genres can be better together.
  • Bunk Bed Junction is able to go toe-to-toe with Megastars despite only being two of them and produce a 47% energy output, the same as all the Megastars. While the Rock vs. EDM conflict is dissolved during the story, it could be inferred that a lesson here is that indie artists are better than corporate ones.
• Alternate Character Interpretation:
  • Yinu's mother. While there is no doubt of her status as a Stage Mom, some have argued that she does love Yinu and want her to succeed but is too dictated by her volatile emotions, while others believe she's a full-blown Abusive Parent who only cares about maintaining Yinu's fame for her own selfish satisfaction. Various aspects of the boss fight support both interpretations. The ending of the fight heavily suggests the former to be true, and finding her and Yinu's photos imply the loss of her husband may have contributed to it.
  • Are 1010 just robots with no sapience of their own? Or are they sapient and just Body Surf when Neon J makes them new bodies? Are they a single AI with five bodies? Are they just mouthpieces for Neon J to sing through? Fans have interpreted them as all of the above.
  • Are Zuke and Mayday simply good friends or are they something more? Zuke notably doesn't completely refute Sayu when she proclaims that she can feel Mayday and Zuke's "love" for each other, instead saying that there are a number of factors to consider before Mayday cuts him off to begin the fight. He similarly doesn't correct Eve when she pegs Mayday as his new girlfriend nor does Mayday. Then there's the fight with 1010, where Zuke assuredly says that they won't win her over, only for Mayday to completely fangirl over them, causing Zuke to freak out. When their robotic skeletons are revealed and Mayday's freaking out, Zuke just responds with a blunt "Good!".
  • Earlier, when May claims Zuke is jealous that "all the pretty boys" were fawning over her—is she saying Zuke was jealous because people were paying attention to her and not him? Or was she claiming he was jealous because it was, specifically, a group of cute guys fawning over May?
  • When fighting Tatiana, more and more details implying that she was Kul Fyra unravel in front of Bunk Bed Junction, to the point it becomes painfully obvious. Yet, all of these implications that Tatiana is actually Kul Fyra, the very person that inspired Bunk Bed Junction's musical revolution, go right over Mayday's head, and even when Tatiana tells her that she is Kul Fyra, she still doesn't believe it. Could it be because Mayday was really that airheaded, or is she actually in denial over how much her idol has changed?
  • Regarding the main villain's final plan: was Kliff really oblivious to the amount of damage he'd cause by crashing the satellite? Was he simply apathetic to the damage that would be done? Or was he fully aware of this and wanting to pull a Taking You with Me on Tatiana and the rest of Vinyl City?
  • In Yinu's pre-battle cutscene, were Mayday and Zuke really unable to hear her, or were they just pretending not to hear her to rile her up even further?
  • Are DK West's actions those of a Big Brother Bully who delights in tormenting Zuke and only changed his tune when he realised he might lose his brother completely, or a man with legitimate grievances brought about by misunderstanding and a string of bad luck that has his fears founded by Zuke's aggression? He does tease Zuke frequently and stays in Vinyl City to make life difficult for him, and he admits that he forgot Zuke's birthday at least once and sold his drumkit for reasons undisclosed, not to mention digging out and repairing an old tape recorder purely to repeatedly play an embarrassing song he got Zuke to sing as children. However, West is audibly upset by the end of the first rap battle at remembering Zuke "stealing" his friends and crush, and Mayday is able to relatively easily calm him down by insisting that Zuke never had it out for West and was just trying to follow in the footsteps of someone he loves and admires. He was also badly hurt by Zuke disowning him, enough that his attempt to laugh it off is paltry and quickly abandoned, leaving him meek and seemingly on the verge of tears. Given that the tape recorder is repaired after the disownment and West is considerably more cheerful and speaks very fondly of the recording, he might even have fixed it to relive that cherished childhood memory before the brothers' relationship fell apart. If the former, then getting back in Zuke's good graces with little effort on his part makes him a Karma Houdini, but in the latter the reconciliation is deeply Heartwarming.
• Anti-Climax Boss: Tatiana is almost jarringly straightforward compared to the more visibly gimmick-heavy and dynamic megastar battles. The projectiles she fires out are mostly fairly slow, and it's easy to tell when she's going to go in for a melee attack, add to the possibility her fight may have been given less budget/focus than everything that came before, as her fiery form and dual wielding have no new animations, Tatiana swings it the same she did when wielding only one. The fight does have quite a few time travel gimmicks that restart the battle from earlier moments, but in-game it mostly just looks like a teleport and a heal ability if the player doesn't notice their character is warping back to earlier moments too, especially because there's no reason for the player to expect Tatiana has time abilities in the first place (In order to realize there's a Rule of Symbolism going on, you'll probably need the plot reveals that take place after the battle).
• Awesome Ego: DJ Subatomic Supernova is quite egotistical and looks down on people whom he perceives as not sharing his intellect. However, he's quite a popular character within the fandom due to having a lot of entertaining moments and quotable lines, as well as a sympathetic backstory, appealing presentation, and awesome battle music that suggests he actually is good at his job despite the ego.
• Breather Boss: 1010. Their boss fight is in between two of the most hectic boss fights in the game, and their moveset is comparably more limited and easier to react to thanks to them telegraphing their attacks by singing. Even after Neon J. takes over, the fight isn't particularly demanding since his attacks are also very easily telegraphed. Even in the context of the story, their fight is a Breather Episode compared to Yinu and Eve, as the former brings up that Bunk Bed Junction isn't so morally pure and the latter's boss fight has a pretty serious tone and is a bit personal for Zuke. Meanwhile, the aftermath of the 1010 boss fight shows that Neon J. is a Shell-Shocked Veteran but it's played for laughs as Mayday and Zuke just walk away as he's going on about his war story.
• Captain Obvious Reveal: Tatiana turning out to be Kul Fyra was figured out by many fans long before the game's release just from the scant story present in the demos due to the fairly blatant Foreshadowing and the design overlap between the two. Amusingly, when the final game reveals this, Mayday completely fails to pick up the most blatant hints (Tatiana's burning form, the backdrop of the arena being a Goolings concert, and owning Kul Fyra's guitar), prompting Tatiana to irritably spell it out to her.
• Demonic Spiders: The Turrets are common enemies in the Approach sections, and they can be a huge pain to deal with. They're one of few enemies that shoot projectiles (though mercifully in a fixed direction), and when the player gets close to them they'll perform a slashing attack instead. The problem is, said slash has massive Hitbox Dissonance, being able to deal damage from way further away than where the claw actually reaches. Combine this with a very brief telegraph and them being untargetable with basic projectiles, and chances are you'll be taking one or two hits anytime you fight one unless you have projectile mods equipped.
• Enjoy the Story, Skip the Game: The game's overall presentation and characters were the most consistently praised aspects of the game upon release (debates over the voice acting quality aside), but the gameplay has received a fair bit of criticism for how incredibly loose it feels in addition to having a few noticeable bugs. It doesn't help that the game's deeper mechanics only really come into play on its higher difficulties, which need to be unlocked for each boss individually.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: When 1010 isn't being drawn in fanart as a single unit, it's usually the green one who is drawn individually due to his unique design. This is in spite of him not having an actual distinct personality. Funny enough, in one scene during the ending credits, it's only the green one that isn't getting any fan mail.
• Fan Nickname:
  • Some fans have jokingly called Yinu's mother (who is not named) "Karen" after the stock internet alias, due to her questionable parental skills and Jerkass behavior. On a less joking note, others call her "Mrs. Natura" after the district in which she and her daughter are encountered.
  • None of the members of 1010 are named, but the fandom has managed to give them names by deciphering the signatures seen in the game: Rin (white), Eloni (green), Zimelu (red), Haym (yellow), and Purl-hew (blue).
  • "Mystery Mural Man", or some variation thereof, for the mysterious sixth NSR artist who only appears in a mural in Tatiana's office. DJ Subatomic Supernova's voice actor even acknowledged this nickname in a livestream introduction.
• Fanfic Fuel:
  • The most popular go to fanfic is the aftermath of Bunkbed Junction's rock revolution and NSR's reconstruction. It commonly has Tatiana more willing to accept non-EDM artists and changes made to each district as well as B2J coming in with their input to better accommodate for the civilians. Sometimes these fics might also explain what happened to Kliff, and if he was ever caught or planning something else.
  • How the megastars became a part of the NSR elite is popular as well. Many of these stories also touch on their pasts.
  • Since Vinyl City is full of colorful characters practicing various types of music, it is a very popular ground for original characters as music artists with their own music genres, boss fights, vinyl covers, and designs.
  • Alternate Universe swaps are rather popular as well with Bunkbed Junction playing a similar role to NSR but with rock music being beaten by EDM.
  • One of the murals in Tatiana's office depicts an unknown NSR artist who isn't seen or alluded to anywhere else. Fans often try to fill in the blanks about this character's history, from their relationships with other characters to the genre they performed to where they are in the present day.
• Fanon:
  • Neon J. is frequently portrayed in fanfics and fanart as a Fatherly Scientist to 1010, who in turn are often portrayed as brothers.
  • In the game itself, some details about 1010 aren't quite clear, like whether they're a Hive Mind of if they're each their own person, or even if they aren't just husks controlled by Neon J., but fan content uniformly presents them as each being a robot with their own personality and thoughts, separate from both each other and Neon J. A common subset of this bit of fanon is Neon J. giving 1010 "personality upgrades" at some point (typically after the events of canon) so they each act more like individuals.
  • 1010 being brothers was never explicitly stated but most fans rolled with it due to the fact that Neon J was their creator. Word of God also stated that they didn't intend for them to be brothers but welcomes the headcanon with open arms, making it effectively Ascended Fanon.
  • Yet another 1010 fanon, the names for each member is commonly Rin (White), Purl-Hew (Blue), Zimelu (Red), Haym (Yellow), and Eloni (Green). This is because of their autographs found in the Metro District that fans have tried to decipher and it became so popular it was temporarily added onto the official wiki. Word of God stated that the names were randomly picked, however, and 1010 remains canonically nameless. Despite that, many fans still use the names.
  • As Neon J's appearance before his conversion into a cyborg is unknown, fans have speculated that he based the white 1010 android on his own appearance, while the other four members' appearances are based on his fallen comrades, with their hairstyles corresponding to the weapons that killed them.
  • Sayu is commonly treated as a separate entity/AI even though she is actually a vessel with a team piloting her. Whether or not Sayu even has sentience isn't explicitly stated however, so many choose to portray her as if she were a separate being.
  • Since DJ Subatomic Supernova and Neon J don't have conventional faces, fanartists and fanfic writers often make them more expressive by giving the former's helmet and the latter's screen the ability to change color and occasionally display other things.
• Foe Yay Shipping:
  • Mayday/Eve is a pairing that has some fans in the fandom, even though Eve shows mostly only contempt for Mayday.
  • Zuke is often shipped with the white 1010 member, even though Zuke is quite open about his disdain for 1010, and the members only flirt with Mayday and not him.
• Goddamned Boss: 1010 is really difficult to S rank on higher difficulties, not because the fight becomes particularly difficult, but because of sheer number of parries required to achieve the rank, which requires the player to basically drag the fight out.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • Neon J.'s military shtick and comedic breakdown at the end of the fight becomes less funny when you read his supplementary materials and find out he really did partake in wars, which have screwed up his life by the time you fight him.
  • Eve's boss fight reveals that she set Zuke's hair on fire, which seems fairly humorous in the boss fight itself, but her collectible videos reveal this was why he ended up leaving her in the first place, and hurt both of them down the line.
• He Really Can Act:
  • Steven Bones, who has no major voice acting credits to his name, shows some impressive range as Zuke whenever his chill demeanor deviates, such as when he angrily declares that DK West isn't his brother and when he has a heart-to-heart with his ex-girlfriend Eve.
  • Mariko Honda, a somewhat lesser-known Japanese VA, manages to make Eve sound both fragile and dangerously unhinged in the JP dub of the game.
  • Mohamad Ali Imran Bin Darus (a.k.a. "Uncle Ali"), whose highest-profile role to date has been this game, puts his deep voice to good use as DJ Subatomic Supernova, taking the character from the heights of cartoonish pomposity to a more grounded, pensive tone on his cassette tapes even while hardly changing pitch.
  • Muhammad Zulhilmi, an animator by trade who only has one other major voice acting role of note (Leon in Agent Ali), not only makes Neon J and 1010 sound distinct from one another, but shows some good range as both; examples include the contrast between 1010's friendly tones in their promo video and more serious tones in their fight cutscenes, as well as Neon J shifting between solemn and loudly dramatic in the post-fight cutscene.
• Idiosyncratic Ship Naming:
  • "Onionshipping" for White 1010/Zuke
  • "StarShip" or "SpaceShip" for DJ Subatomic Supernova/Neon J.
  • "Heart Monitor" for Neon J./Yinu's mother
  • "Dikirbiru" for DK West/Blue 1010
  • "Bunk Bed Lovers" for Mayday/Zuke
• I Knew It!: Quite a few fans guessed that Tatiana would turn out to be Kul Fyra, alongside Kliff's antagonistic role in the endgame.
• Jerkass Woobie:
  • Yinu, the Child Prodigy pianist, acts incredibly smug about her talents when Mayday and Zuke interrupt her concert. However, it's quickly revealed that she has a Stage Mom who holds her daughter's piano with marionette strings, reacts violently to anyone interrupting Yinu's performance, and also seems to encourage her daughter's sense of entitlement ("These bullies are nothing compared to you."). As the fight goes on, Yinu starts to try and calm her mother down, only to be ordered to keep playing; by the end of the battle, she's completely fed up with Bunk Bed Junction and her mother, yelling that she hates them all. Her backstory only makes her more tragic, as it's revealed that she was taught to play by her father, who died of an unknown illness, and that both her and her mother used to play to remember him, before Yinu's sudden fame and the stresses that came with it turned them into the people they are in the present. She's also completely correct when she accuses BBJ of being less about the music and more about breaking stuff they don't like.
  • Yinu's mother may be overbearing and unwilling to listen to reason as the fight goes on, but given that it's all but directly stated that her husband is dead, and that she still wears a wedding ring in the present day, it's entirely possible she never had the time to properly grieve his loss. In addition, despite her anger issues, she does seem to legitimately care about her daughter, doing everything she can to protect her from Bunk Bed Junction, and is genuinely proud when it looks like Yinu defeated them.
  • DJ Subatomic Supernova. Smarmy jerk with a way too big ego he might be, but listening to his audio logs reveals a softer, even vulnerable side to him. He used to work at an academic institution where barely anyone would listen to his lectures. Returning to his hometown and watching the stars in an unpolluted night-sky reawakened his love for space again and so he decided to combine his love for space with his love for music. However, even after gaining more listeners than he could ever dream of, he still can't help but feel empty and insignificant. Even his plan to use the NSR satellite to broadcast his music out into space and become earth's "avatar" is less maniacal and more... pitiful, as it highlights that deep, deep down, he's a very sad man who feels as though none of his accomplishments matter and is terribly scared of being forgotten.
  • Eve displays some very hostile behavior in her boss fight, being quite rude to Mayday and turning against Zuke when he refuses to give into her pleas to get back together with her among other things. However, the end of her boss fight and her collectible backstory videos reveal that she's actually very insecure and often grapples with self-hatred, and what she wants the most is for someone to truly understand her.
  • DK West may be an egotistical borderline Big Brother Bully, but he's genuinely hurt when Zuke disowns him.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • It's become a running gag among fans of the game to compare robotic boy band 1010 with real-life K-Pop band BTS, due to the characters being a dreamy stereotypical teenage-band with a military theme, which is a little reminiscent of how BTS-groupies are referred to as ARMYs and the members of the band being really hard to tell apart if it weren't for their hair colors. Some even believe 1010 to be an explicit parody of BTS that's supposed to deconstruct and mock common practices in the K-Pop industry. 1010 also frequently receive comparisons to the Power Rangers^note because of their different color themes and their pulling a "Super Sentai" Stance at one point in their fight, the Teletubbies^note due to their color schemes combined with their hairstyles being evocative of the titular characters, and Mettaton from Undertale^note since they, like him, are performing robots portrayed as Mr. Fanservice in-universe.
  • It's become popular to claim that DK West's minotaur puppet is his Stand (appropriate given that JoJo is referenced during his fights).
  • The Moose God^Explanation In a livestream featuring the game's voice actors playing Talking Points, Muhammad Zulhilmi (in-character as Neon J and occasionally 1010) went on a fanatical rant about a "moose god", which quickly caught on within the fandom. It gained even more traction when the Christmas edition gave 1010 reindeer heads and Neon J reindeer ears and antlers.
• Moe: Many players agree with Mayday's assessment that Sayu is absolutely adorable. Some aren't even deterred by her reverse mermaid form.
  • There's also her in-universe voice actress Tila who, despite being a short, mousy-looking nerd, is still quite cute in her own way.
• Moral Event Horizon: Kliff crosses it when he knocks the NSR satellite out of orbit to destroy NSR Tower, all because Tatiana refused to acknowledge rock. Had his plan succeeded, he would've likely killed hundreds if not thousands of people with the resulting collateral damage.
• Most Wonderful Sound: The commands Neon J gives to 1010 during their boss battle.
  "Fire! 1,2,3,4! And jam~!"
  "Mark targets! Load and shoot~!"
  "Troops! To the ski-i-i-i-ies~!" "Hope for the skies!"
• Narm Charm:
  • Some of the defense toward the English voice acting in the game regards this trope; while most of the actors aren't great in their roles, the game is still silly enough that they aren't that out of place, and that there's also a certain authenticity to how they play their characters that makes it hard to hate. Yinu is perhaps the best example of this, since her wonky voice acting comes off as suitably adorable for a 9-year old.
  • 1010 may be a dig at the K-pop industry and boy bands as a whole, being a walking bundle of these tropes taken up to eleven. But they embody the tropes so well, that it comes off as endearing to some.
• Obvious Beta: The Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions of the game were ported to those consoles by a second party developer, and in addition to degraded graphics and much poorer performance, were clearly made with a much earlier version of the game than the one used in the PC and Playstation 4 ports as certain voice lines and environmental assets in those aren't present. Worst of all, the healing items in the DK West fights are outright missing from those ports, making them exponentially more difficult to beat.
• Obvious Judas: Most players upon meeting him in the demo immediately pegged Kliff as a villain due to the suspicious circumstances in which he approaches Mayday and Zuke, though many players thought he would be The Mole for NSR when he's actually a Loony Fan who wants rock to rule over Vinyl City at all costs and goes against Bunk Bed Junction because they oppose his extreme approach.
• Portmanteau Couple Name:
  • "Greenday" for Green 1010/Mayday
  • "NeonNova" or "DJNeon" for DJ Subatomic Supernova/Neon J.
  • "MayZuke" for Mayday/Zuke
• Rooting for the Empire: Due to a lot of them having cool designs and being charismatic, a lot of fans think that NSR's Megastars are cool, if not cooler than Bunk Bed Junction themselves. It likely helps that none of them are truly evil. The player rooting for the Empire on at least some level is presumably intended, given that the moral of the game turns out to be that ALL forms of music have a place, and thus the Megastars and Bunk Bed Junction team up at the end. "The Empire" in this case actually remains intact after the story ends, with some reforms to fix what caused the conflict to happen in the first place.
• Self-Fanservice:
  • DJ Subatomic Supernova isn't necessarily bad-looking in canon, but he is a rather cartoonish Top-Heavy Guy. Fans often build off of this and portray him as a Big Beautiful Man (and occasionally The Bear, based on his visible leg hair in canon).
  • Neon J, the local sonar-head cyborg, often has his body made curvier and more delicate to fit in with the Pretty Boy image of the band he manages (although Silver Fox depictions are not unheard of, especially in humanized portrayals). He also is often portrayed as shorter than DJ Subatomic Supernova in works where the two are shipped together, even though, canonically, Neon J is just barely the taller of the two.
• Ships That Pass in the Night:
  • DJ Subatomic Supernova and Neon J. are shipped together a lot in fanart. Their only interaction in the game itself is just a single image in the credits of them hanging out in casual clothing. Interestingly, it quickly became one of if not the most popular pairing in the fandom despite their lack of actual interaction, and fanart of it was added to the graffiti in the city in the Encore Edition of the game.
  • Neon J. occasionally is shipped with Yinu's mother, despite the two not interacting in the game, not even in a credits scene. When Neon J. rants at Bunk Bed Junction after the 1010 fight, he specifically calls them on breaking Yinu's piano, indicating that he may be close to her and her mother.
  • DK West/Blue 1010 has a following despite neither even interacting in the game. Many like it for a potential Opposites Attract appeal.
• Signature Scene: Due to it being the first boss fight shown in the pre-release phase and the first demo covering the first three phases, Yinu and her mother's boss fight quickly became one of the most well-known fights in the game due to its unique visuals. It did however result in some pre-release criticism due to how unheroic it made Bunk Bed Junction look.
• Signature Song: None other than "vs. SAYU" (for not only the game, but also James Landino and Nikki Simmons).
• So Okay, It's Average: The general consensus of the reviews of the game seems to be this. While it has outstanding visuals and sound, and a very fun, remarkable, and over-the-top style, the gameplay is barebones and not particularly interesting, and the music gimmick was under-utilized or not all it could be.
• Spiritual Adaptation: Due to its over-the-top tone, characters, and premise, as well as colorful visuals, some fans have said that it resembles a game version of a Studio TRIGGER series. It's also the closest you'll get to a Freefonix video game adaptation due to both series having the same premise of "main characters use the power of rock to stop the corporate main antagonists".
• Superlative Dubbing: The Japanese dub of No Straight Roads is this in spades with an All-Star Cast of talented anime voice actors (including Joey "The Anime Man" Bizinger as a character version of himself portraying a music critic).
• That One Sidequest: Even players who like DK West as a character generally don't have kind things to say about his boss encounters. The first one (which is also the only mandatory one) is easy enough, but the optional second and third encounters ramp up the difficulty, requiring very precise movements to dodge all the obstacles - and these encounters don't exactly skimp on obstacles. To add insult to injury, none of the DK West encounters are replayable until all three of them have been beaten, making it much more difficult to practice. Consequently, many players don't even bother with the second and third encounters, even though they provide two collectibles, two new finishing moves, and more insight into the relevant characters. What's worse is that the only way to make these encounters even marginally-easier is to have someone to play co-op with you, because those unlucky enough to have to deal with him solo have to control Mayday and Zuke simultaneously, forcing them to split their attention between both characters' lanes, as it bears mentioning that just one of them going down results in failure.
• That One Boss: Eve. The danger in her battle doesn't come from her as much as it comes from the sickening amount of attacks the environment throws at you. It's possible to parry projectiles fired at you, but with the bevy of lasers and giant feet of stomping to deal with, you'll be hard pressed to find an opportunity to do so. And physical attacks aren't much of an option when Eve runs away from you whenever you get close. And even after all is said and done, you have one final long hallway of traps to get through while controlling both Mayday and Zuke at the same time. Unless you're on top of your parrying and dodging game, Eve will absolutely clean the floor with you. Kliff wasn't kidding when she refers to her as the most creative, complex, and dangerous of the NSR artists.
• Ugly Cute: Reverse-Mermaid Sayu. She's still very vibrantly colored and has Heart-shaped pupils. She would probably still be normal cute if she was just a fish and didn't have a giant pair of human legs jutting out from her rear.
• Unintentional Uncanny Valley:
  • Mayday's character model is slightly unnerving to see in still shots due to her wide grin not quite reaching her eyes, giving her a rather manic and unhinged expression. It's actually played into with the cutscene following Sayu's defeat, with Mayday looking like a straight-up slasher movie villain complete with an Evil Laugh to Sayu's production team before it's revealed that she was actually reaching for the power cord to unplug Sayu.
  • Kliff on account of having a Non-Standard Character Design. In a game populated by an Amazing Technicolor Population, with Anime Hair, Noodle People and Top Heavy Guys, Kliff unnervingly stands out with his more subdued features and relatively realistic body proportions. Not helping matters is his eerily calm portrait during dialogue scenes compared to the zany expressions other characters often pull off.
• Unpopular Popular Character: An unusual example with the green 1010 member. He doesn't have really anything in the way of a unique personality, but a lot of players were drawn to his rather outlandish design. This is in contrast to one of the images in the credits sequences revealing that he gets practically no fan letters in contrast to his other bandmates. This makes the Encore Edition amusingly ironic to the point of Gameplay and Story Segregation since the inclusion of fan-art as in-game graffiti has resulted in several flattering solo artwork of the green 1010 member which clashes with how relatively unpopular he apparently is in-universe.
