And while writing the manga I came up with the idea of Midori Midorikawa. Suda51: My memory is a bit fuzzy, so I may be a bit off in the order that I came up with these things, but a little while ago for the release of the special edition of The Silver Case, there was a special manga that was included with the first edition run of the game. How did you decide to include Midori Midorikawa as a Galactic Superhero Rankings member? That’s how the general idea of FU came about. Again, not just the character, but the story itself was based on the concept of Rocky III, with Rocky going up in his years and going up against this ultra bad guy. Just extremely powerful, and a badass character for him to go against in his last game. I wanted to make him this guy that is the ultimate enemy for Travis. Instead of making the stereotypical big, ripped, buff alien you usually see in movies, I wanted to add more to him. He’s sort of like the ultimate bad guy for Rocky to face off with. The main image I based him on was Clubber Lang from Rocky III. Suda51, Grasshopper Manufacture: For FU I wanted to make, basically, the ultimate bad guy for Travis Touchdown to go against. Kazuma Hashimoto, Siliconera: FU is one of the more well-rounded villains in recent games.
Additionally, Suda51 revealed that there were plans to have more than a handful of playable characters in the game and talked about the mysterious red zone on the map. This included a look into the development of the game and some hypothetical ideas for potential No More Heroes 3 DLC. As the story of Travis Touchdown comes to a close in No More Heroes 3, Goichi “Suda51” Suda sat down to answer a few of our questions regarding the development of the game.
