Killer7: Difference between revisions

* [[Adult Fear]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXwWjxbzuIk&feature=related This scene] (warning: NSFW) basically sums up a most horrifying scenario for any parent.

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: On the same team, we have KAEDE, Garcian... and Kevin.

* [[Alas, Poor Villain]] (Pedro is an organ smuggler and child trafficker, but {{spoiler|holy shit, NO ONE deserves what happens to him}}.

** He deserved it, all right.

** [[Charged Attack|Collateral Shot!]]

* [[Carnival of Killers]]

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Everyone has a special one for when you hit an enemy in its [[One-Hit Kill]] spot, when you deliver a counter attack and when you kill a nearby enemy when he's crawling towards you.

* [[Cel Shading]]

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: {{spoiler|Emir}} to a staggering degree.

* [[The Chessmaster]]

** You could [[Fridge Brilliance|also]] take this as {{spoiler|the essentially immortal Kun Lan losing his grasp on time after many futile battles with Harman.}}

* [[Door to Before]]: Many.

* [[Earn Your Title]]: Garcian is The Cleaner, he retrieves dead bodies and brings them back to life; Dan is the Hellion, because of how reckless and violent he is; KAEDE is named Barefoot, because she never wears shoes, and so on.

* [[Easter Egg]]: {{spoiler|1=Hopper7, where the regular [[Mooks|Smiles]] become HopperMen. Only the first level is available and all the enemies die in one hit.}}

** To get that, even you must beat {{spoiler|Killer8}}, which was downright brutal at points (as far as this game goes).

* [[Evil Albino]]: Kun Lan; Kevin Smith.

* [[Expressive Shirt]]: Travis has several.

* [[For the Evulz]]: The Heaven's Smiles aren't trying to change anything-they just want to cause havoc.

* [[The Four Gods]]: At one point you have to match them to their directions.

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Con.

* [[Gambit Roulette]]: {{spoiler|The ''entire game''}}, as revealed in the supplementary material, Jacob's Report. {{spoiler|An FBI agent who lost his family to the Heaven Smiles uses a machine that predicts the future to predict the Last Smile. As the probability of the predicitions happening increases with each one that comes true, he sets the events of each mission in motion.}}

** It should be noted that much of the supplementary material outright contradicts the game.

* [[Genre Busting]]: Both the story and gameplay are nearly impossible to neatly categorize. In terms of gameplay, the limited movement, fixed camera angles, and light [[Adventure Game]] elements suggest a [[Survival Horror]] game (not surprising, seeing as it was produced by [[Shinji Mikami]]), while the combat resembles a [[Rail Shooter]] and the powerup system is more reminiscent of a traditional action game with [[RPG Elements]]. The plot, meanwhile, plays out like a bizarre lovechild of [[Hideo Kojima]], [[David Lynch]], and [[Quentin Tarantino]].

* [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]: Harman and Kun Lan..

* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: The Heaven's Smiles don't seem to care whether or not they ever reach their target.

* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Con and Mask (technically Grenade Launchers Akimbo for Mask).

* [[Handguns]]: what most of the characters are armed with.

* [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]]: In the end, it's incredibly easy to miss the connections.

* [[Karmic Death]]: Oh boy.

** Less ambiguously, several targets including {{spoiler|Curtis being killed by his own organ harvesting machines, and Trevor Pearlharbor having a hole blown through him by Handsome Black's Handsome Wink.}}

* [[Kick Chick]]: Kaede's counterattacks, even despite her status as Barefoot.

** Not to mention the fact that he can [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|flatten bullets by headbutting them]].

** Another example: Ayame Blackburn, who wears a animegao cosplay mask.

* [[Mercy Kill]]: {{spoiler|Ulmeyda specifically hired you to kill him when he becomes a Smile}}.

* [[Mexican Standoff]]: Subverted; it looks like one, but then everyone opens fire.

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: MASK de Smith.

* [[Mook Maker]]: Mother Smiles.

* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Travis and Iwazaru, but can you trust either of them?

*** Not exactly, {{spoiler|since Kun Lan had his newly made apprentice strip him and knock him off a building first, and that was near the end}}

**** Actually, {{spoiler|The man who was pushed off the building wasn't Kun Lan, it was Kasai, the man who hires you to kill Jean De Paul at the start of Sunset Pt. 2 Although Kun Lan WAS machine-gunned to death with/by Harman at the end of Smile Pt. 3, so it's very likely there's more than one. Not a stretch considering that there's at least THREE Harmans.}}

* [[Rain of Blood]]: {{spoiler|Ulmeyda gives one off when he transforms into a Heaven's Smile. His blood is so full of diseases that it kills everyone present except his followers (who regularly partake of his blood) and the Smiths (who are [[Dead to Begin With]]).}}

* [[The Reveal]]: ''Many'' in the final chapters. * Ahem* {{spoiler|Garcian is actually Emir Parkreiner, who killed all the Smiths which resulted in his (not Harman's) split personalities, who really can't be manifested in real life as shown by their weapons being carried in his suitcase.}}

* [[Russian Roulette]]: {{spoiler|"This gun holds ''seven'' bullets."}}

* [[Sadistic Choice]]: Presented to the player at the end of the game: kill {{spoiler|Matsuoka, and the US will nuke Japan off the face of the planet}}; spare him, and {{spoiler|Japan will attack the US, triggering [[World War III]]}}.

* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: Harman Smith and Kun Lan play chess while not engaging in their neverending conflict.

* [[Sociopathic Hero]]: Dan Smith.

* [[Solve the Soup Cans]]: Oh so many instances.

* [[Split Personality]]: The Smiths; it's on the box cover. {{spoiler|But when it comes to ''whose'' personality they split from, [[Covers Always Lie]].}} Samantha also counts to an extent, switching between [[Meido]] and [[Alpha Bitch]] depending on whether or not the lights are on. At least until {{spoiler|the last chapter, when she is raped by Harman and/or dies, fully becoming his servant}}.

** To make matters even crazier about the history of {{spoiler|the Smiths, the supplementary material makes it clear they were dead when Emir killed them, and Harman had been using them as split personalities as the Killer7 syndicate. So, they've been killed at least twice, can apparently manifest themselves seperately from one another, can be endlessly resurrected by Garcian/Emir... Supplementary material calls this Multifoliate Personae Phenomenon, rather than Multiple Personality Syndrome.}}

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: ''"Collateral shot!"''

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Possibly the intention of Suda51 [[Teasing Creator|because he loves to do it]]. What's more awesome than walking up a staircase with a ''rave'' in the background?!
