Nintendo Character Profile | Travis Touchdown

Travis Touchdown
"When you see your brother in hell, tell him he's still a douche!"
 

Statistics

Species: He's a human, of the assassin variety, although not everyone he comes across could honestly be classed as 'human.'
 
Location: Travis lives in the town of Santa Destroy, which is an incredibly strange place with a lot of unusual people, and it's also legal to murder as long as you have a licence. The economy of Santa Destroy also seems to be dire, as it often seems to cost thousands of dollars just to buy something like an item of clothing.
 
Family Matters: Travis' parents were killed by a strange woman a few years before the first No More Heroes, and he mentally blocked the person out until the end of that game, where he met her face-to-face. One day he thought it would be cool to buy a Beam Katana off of an online auction site and unwittingly got himself ranked in the United Assassins Association (UAA) after taking a job from Sylvia Christel to kill an assassin known as Helter Skelter.
 
Main Features: Travis is a massive otaku (Japanese for a person obsessive about particular areas of interest), and is also somewhat perverted, as seen by his actions around beautiful women (mainly Sylvia). He has a favourite anime show called Pure White Lover: Bizarre Jerry 5, which is…well, let's just say it's better if you look it up rather than read about it here! He is also an avid fan of professional wrestling and even has his own set of wrestling moves.

Travis' main weapon is his Beam Katana that he won in an online auction called the Blood Berry. It looks like a light-sabre from Star Wars with some subtly notable differences (for copyright purposes, obviously!) and has a peculiar way of being charged (yes, it could be said that his end does glow). Travis also has a rocket-powered motorbike called the Schpeltiger, which is drivable in the first game and is even used for a boss fight in the second, Desperate Struggle. He also has a cat called Jean who Travis plays with in the form of mini games. In the first game, Jean is just a kitten, but in the second one, she becomes fat and Travis uses a multitude of exercises to get her back into good shape. Apparently he doesn't like fat pus…ah, never mind!
 
Clothing: Travis likes to keep his style the same in both games, so he's always seen wearing his high collar leather jacket, a pair of jeans, as well as some geeky designs on his T-shirts that include his favourite girls from Bizarre Jelly. There are always different pieces of clothing to buy, but a lot of the clothes will just look like Travis' normal outfit, but in a different colour.

Best Appearance:

The best part of the game, however, is the variety of the battles; not only do players take on the role of Travis, but also get to play as his student, Shinobu, as well as his half brother Henry, both of whom offer different gameplay compared to Travis. There are also some brilliant parts as Travis, such as fighting a giant mecha made out of 25 cheerleaders with an American football player in the driving seat. Travis could also now wield two beam katana at the same time, offering more strategy to the games combat.

The game's humour also didn't let up since Travis still had his hilarious one-liners, as well as the bosses being as weird and twisted as ever. There's also the chance to watch the opening sequence of Bizarre Jerry 5, which is obviously a parody to many magical girl anime shows, and looks somewhat akin to the recent Senran Kagura on 3DS.
