The second in the ''[[Saints Row (series)|Saints Row]]'' series.
It turns out that "Playa" survived the blast that ended the first game, but has spent five years in a coma - the game begins just as he (or '''''she''''' -- you can now play a female character) wakes up. Upon busting out of prison and rescuing homie Johnny Gat from the electric chair, he/she discovers that four forces have risen to fill the void in power left by the Saints' disappearance:
* The Brotherhood, a gang consisting of white trash rockers and punks who favor tattoos, heavy metal and big trucks. (Red)
* The Ronin, a
* The Sons of Samedi, college kids and drug addicts led by Haitian Voodoo witch doctors and ex-military men. (Green)
* [[Mega Corp|Ultor]] [[Red Faction|Corp]], a powerful corporation that has taken over and completely renovated the Saints' old 'hood, in a project spearheaded by [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Dane Vogel]]... who has plans for the rest of the city. (orange)
Alive, pissed, [[Suddenly Voiced|gaining the ability to speak]] (and does s\he ever) and with a thirst for vengeance against those behind the explosive attempt on his/her life, "Playa" becomes "Boss" as he/she rebuilds the Saints from the ground up and embarks on a mission to destroy the other gangs, and eventually become the kingpin of the city.
{{tropelist}}
* [[The Alcatraz]]: Stilwater Penitentiary
* [[Always Over the Shoulder]]: In aiming mode.
Line 29 ⟶ 27:
**** It seems that people in the game see it too; a Saint as I recall inquiring about the female player getting it on with Shaundi.
*** Playing a female Boss, homies made these comments:
{{quote|
''White gangsta girl'': [[Bi the Way|Do you guys do the group thing]]? }}
*** And Jane more frequently (and affectionately) says, "What would I ever do without you?"
Line 38 ⟶ 36:
* [[Black Comedy]]/[[Dead Baby Comedy]]: The various radio ads for Ultor products and services don't so much straddle the line between the two as hop gleefully back and forth over the line while chanting "Bet you can't guess which one!" in a disturbingly cheery, singsong voice.
* [[Brick Joke]]: After the completion of Down Payment (mission number three in the prologue), we get this exchange in the ending cutscene.
{{quote|
'''Johnny:''' Oh, come on. A stripper pole, some flat screens, maybe some nicer furniture...
'''Boss:''' You had me at "stripper pole."
'''Johnny:''' Fuckin' a. }}
** At the ending cutscene of the next mission; this bit of dialogue comes.
{{quote|
'''Shaundi:''' I dunno; add a flat screen, some throw pillows, and a hookah and this place would be alright.
'''Pierce:''' You definitely need a stripper pole in this bitch. }}
** The brick joke goes even further; as you progress through the game, the hotel undergoes renovations as it becomes more of a proper hideout. When it's fully refurbished, the Saints' HQ gets ''three'' stripper poles.
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: At the end of the Brotherhood storyline, this exchange.
{{quote|
''' {{spoiler|Maero:}}''' Go to hell.
'''Boss:''' (pulls the trigger) Sorry; didn't catch that. }}
* [[Book Dumb]]: The Boss is fairly ignorant. He/she acts puzzled when Tara explains that she is a micro-biologist to which Tara replies "read a book".
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Certain activities, once fully completed, reward you with infinite ammo for a specific weapon type, so long as it's bought from Friendly Fire or taken from your cache. And while the magazines themselves aren't bottomless in the above situation, actual bottomless magazines are available through cheats. In addition, some weapons hold more rounds at once than their real-world counterparts can (shotguns in particular, with the double-barreled Tombstone holding 6 shells and the pimp cane holding ''16'').
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Fittingly provided by Eliza Dushku as Shaundi - "Maero's got enough guns to take over something that needs a lot of guns to take over"
* [[Bulletproof Human Shield]]: Taking a Banger for cover causes the other members to open fire and kill their friend while you take them apart.
* [[Buried Alive]]: {{spoiler|Shogi Akuji, son of the leader of The Ronin,}} gets buried alive by Gat and the Player Character after interrupting {{spoiler|Aisha's funeral}}.
* [[But Thou Must!]]: The obligatory sword-fighting sequences in the Ronin story thread. The second one can be avoided by setting yourself on firing and running into the opponent.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Pierce. Between competing for Boss' approval with Shaundi and fighting over what to listen to on the radio, he just can't seem to catch a break. Though being the [[Butt Monkey]] means that he can stick around. {{spoiler|Unlike poor Carlos and Aisha.}}
* [[Call Back]]: In the final confrontation with the Ronin's leader, {{spoiler|on an exploding boat}}, the Boss quips: "Can we hurry this up? I wanna hit TGI!"
Line 66 ⟶ 64:
* [[Capoeira]]: The Sons of Samedi fighting style resembles this.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb|Cluster S Bomb]]: How Male Voice 2 demonstrates his love of "Sister Christian".
{{quote|
** [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]:
{{quote|
Male 2 voice sings to "Sister Christian"
Male 3 voice sings to both "Working for the Weekend" and "Don't you Forget About Me"
Female 1 voice sings to "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"
Female 2 voice sings to "The Reflex"
Female 3 voice sings to "Down Under"
''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}y9BoIEY4xA4&feature{{=}}related All]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}y9BoIEY4xA4&feature{{=}}related of them sing to "Take On Me"] }}
* [[Compensating for Something]]: The Brotherhood, fans of excessive tattoos and big trucks, have a truck called "The Compensator".
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Multiple, multiple examples. Apparently rival gangs have a GPS tracker on you at all times, because with your notoriety through the roof, they'll all be on you at once, ''even if you're driving one of their vehicles''. Similarly, the computer loves creaming you with a swerving civilian in the middle of a firefight, having random civilians actively pursue and slam onto your vehicle in chases, obliterating you with one shot with a rocket out of nowhere from an attack helicopter, and so on. Most likely the most egregious example, though, is the aforementioned Escort activity, where you discover that a lightning-quick sports car is no match for... a news van from the 1980's, which will ride your bumper at
** The cars exhibit rubberbanding capabilities that would be more at home in [[Mario Kart]]. Enemy gangs will find the way to ram your car from behind, even if you are driving an exact clone of the car they are driving on a highway at top speed.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Many characters are reused in the sequel; sometimes without any re-introduction, so they could only be recognized by players of the first game. And because of the PC's expanded customization options (including another gender) and voiced character in the second game, as a [[Running Gag]] characters [[Lampshade Hanging|remark on how different the player looks and acts]] before continuing to treat them as a familiar homie or acquaintance.
** And when factoring in the [[Canon Welding]], one of the radio ads is for a show called "Red Planet, Red Passion". Second half [[Red Faction|sound vaguely familiar]]? The two names you hear most are Parker and Eos, as to remove all doubt. (Could be more of a [[Shout
* [[Cool Versus Awesome]]: Later levels of the Fuzz activity have you breaking up random fights between pirates and ninjas.
{{quote|
'''Dispatch:''' Pirates are fighting ninjas. I repeat, pirates are fighting ninjas. }}
* [[Cycle of Revenge]]: The Brotherhood arc is a doozy here.
Line 87 ⟶ 85:
** Once again, the tat part of the tit-for-tat violence [[Your Mileage May Vary|may possibly]] be excused on the ground of it being ''[[Rule of Cool|fucking awesome]]'' revenge.
** Also, {{spoiler|when the player meets Julius, he is trying to leave the past behind him.}} Trying to convince the player to stop the madness and killing, {{spoiler|he is ignored, sneered at, and killed.}} Benjamin King was right in saying the gangs never leave you...
* [[Darkest Hour]]: Assuming you play all of the gang plotlines concurrently, Mission Four involves {{spoiler|Aisha being murdered, Shaundi being kidnapped, Gat being
* [[Death
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Averted during the 'Fuzz' activity, which requires you to shoot, beat, chainsaw, and/or burn to death various "criminals", some of whom are just peacefully protesting or skateboarding around town. The reason for the aversion is that A) you're not a cop and thus not worrying about dispensing actual justice and B) the camera crew following you around ''knows this''. They're the ones to hand the player chainsaws and flamethrowers to take to hippies because they know it'll get them the best ratings.
** The whole Brotherhood plotline begins with this. Maero tries to push a blatantly one-sided deal for the control of Stillwater to the Boss. His response? {{spoiler|Sneaking radioactive waste into his personal tattoo artist's ink supplies, causing him to unknowingly burn half of his chief's face off}}.
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Some pedestrians, most notably the ones dressed like hippies. The hippie clerks at On the Rag also count. Most pedestrians in the Marina district are barefoot but in swimsuits (don't know if that counts). As always, it's up to you whether or not this applies to the Boss as well.
Line 97 ⟶ 95:
* [[Evil Brit]]: One of the possible voice options is a rough English accent. You may recognize it as Mr. Sheffield from [[The Nanny]].
** It's particularly hilarious for anyone who's seen that show before because the Boss does some very, very, very bad things in this game (things Max Sheffield wouldn't even want to ''hear'' about), so the "Evil" bit qualifies.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: [[Player Character|The Boss]] is, after all, building a criminal empire, and his/her main obstacle is other criminals.
** The second DLC, ''Corporate Warfare'', centers around a conflict that pits current Ultor chairman Eric Gryphon against Dexter "Dex" Jackson, your former homie who moved from the Saints to a position as head of security at Ultor.
* [[Fantastic Drug]]: The Sons of Samedi deal Loa Dust. It's made up primarily of high-grade marijuana, but treated with various other chemicals. They never say exactly what the effects are, though it seems to be very popular. During the [[Mushroom Samba]] mission all it does is warp the visuals - similar to what happens to the player when attacked with pepper spray or a flash-bang.
* [[Five
* [[Four Is Death]]: The fourth mission in each gang's questline is the most dire, with {{spoiler|Carlos's [[Mercy Kill]]-worthy disfigurement, Gat getting hospitalised from a stab in the stomach, and Shaundi's abduction.}}
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: The Ronin are partial to fast cars and faster motorcycles...neither of which hold many soldiers and both of which are unusually prone to exploding, even by this game's standards.
* [[Funny Background Event]] : During a brotherhood mission, prisoners are seen being loaded onto a prison bus during a news report. One of them stops to mug for the camera...and gets a rifle
* [[Game Mod]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131029205051/http://idolninja.com/sr2.php Gentlemen of the Row], an overhaul for the PC port of the game.
* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: Boss speaks in the second game. All the time. S\he even has six different voices to use, which say different funny things during missions, as well as when they get drunk. So play the game once as a [[Dark Action Girl]], then as a [[Spicy Latina]], then a [[Sassy Black Woman]], then an [[Evil Brit]], [[Badass Spaniard]] and [[Scary Black Man]].
** In a more prosaic example, you can find yourself distracted for ''hours'' hunting down and killing all the Hitman targets, or chasing after all the cars on Chop Shop lists. The game really twists the knife as you get bonuses with the first, third and fifth lists you finish, all of which are either incredibly useful or ridiculous. Finish all the
* [[Gray Rain of Depression]]: It's raining when {{spoiler|The Boss has to [[Mercy Kill]] Carlos, and then spends sometime just sitting there.}}
* [[Guide Dang It]]: There's a Hitman target who you're supposed to find at "the highway exchange in the Factories district" and lure out by drinking beer. Note that said district is pretty wide and covers a good stretch of highway, including a particular Spaghetti Junction-esque part near the middle of the map, so that's the first place you'd think to look...except it's the wrong area. Instead, you're supposed to head to the stretch of highway more toward the east to meet and kill him.
Line 113 ⟶ 112:
** Similarly, every voice available for the player character has a different song that, when it comes up on the radio, they "sing" along with it.
*** And, as mentioned further down, they ''all'' sing along to ''Take On Me'' by [[A-ha]].
* [[Hot Coffee Minigame]]: Throughout Stilwater, you can find areas that let you unwind through a minigame using the control sticks. It's offscreen, but it's certainly audible, and the accompanying prompts for supposed sexual maneuvers are comic gold.
** And, like many other diversions in the game, fully completing it unlocks a free Saints-colored pimp outfit.
* [[Hot Pursuit]]: FUZZ.
* [[Ho Yay]]: The General and Mr. Sunshine. There is also The Boss and any of the lieutenants, depending on their gender.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Maero dwarfs his girlfriend Jessica (and everyone else for that matter).
* [[Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels]]: The lowest difficulty level in is "Casual".
* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: Trail Blazing. A check point race performed while on fire.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Halfway through the game, the radio station Ezzzy FM is bought out by Ultor and renamed The World. This is announced on the station itself with Dane Vogel stating "Ultor is proud to own The World!"
Line 124 ⟶ 123:
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Jane Valderama plays one with pithy comments such as, "Unfortunately for the Brotherhood not only justice is blind, but she's also a cruel spiteful whore." She's also perfectly willing to finance chaos so she can cover it on the news, and occasionally goes 'embedded' with the Saints to cause some mayhem herself.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: At the end of the starting cutscene in Red Asphalt (Brotherhood mission number [[Four Is Death|four]]), Jessica ends a phone call with the Boss by means of this tidbit:
{{quote|
** At the very end of the next mission, after Maero crushes a car with {{spoiler|Jessica trapped in the truck}}, the Boss hands Maero the car keys, leading to these lines:
{{quote|
'''Boss:''' Do me a favor. When you {{spoiler|check the trunk}}, just remember you should've offered me something better than 20 percent. }}
* [[Karmic Death]]: Considering all the crap the people behind the rival gangs, Ultor, and others pulled
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Members of the Ronin also carry katana with them. Jyunichi even has [[Swords Akimbo|two]].
* [[Kill the Poor]]: {{spoiler|Ultor's}} ultimate plan for Stilwater: Get rid of the gangs, and then get rid of all the other "undesirables". Too bad the Saints gets rid of the gangs first...
* [[Loony Fan]]: The Crowd Control activity has you protecting a celebrity from these. From the Saints Row wiki:
{{quote|
* [[Luck
** A lot of diversions can end up like this, most notably Insurance Fraud, which requires a large number of vehicles to successfully complete. [[Sarcasm Mode|For some strange reason]], otherwise-bustling streets suddenly become near-completely abandoned, and when a vehicle ''does'' show up, they like to hit you before you can hit the fire button and get money from it.
*** For Insurance Fraud, it's always best to head for the closest freeway/highway, as there's always a ton of vehicles there.
Line 140 ⟶ 139:
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Poked fun at. Wear the same clothes long enough, and people on the streets will take notice, probably via the clothes' stench from being worn so long.
* [[Machete Mayhem]]: The Sons of Samedi's favorite melee weapon.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: {{spoiler|Dane Vogel is behind all of the gang warfare, or at least manipulating it to his own ends.}}
** Jessica qualifies for Maero, as the game implies she's at the very least in charge of the cash and sometimes tactics.
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: During the "Bad Trip" mission in the Sons of Samedi storyline, the Boss receives a blow to the head from a baseball bat and a Loa Dust hotboxing inside the General's limo. The rest of the mission has warped visuals and wonky steering.
Line 147 ⟶ 146:
** Even worse {{spoiler|The Boss holds Carlos's hand when s/he is doing it. Then his hands goes slack. You can feel The Boss' heart breaking at that.}}
* [[Mythology Gag]]: During the news report on Gat's trial a ticker reports that Michael Clark Duncan will play former gang leader Benjamin King. Duncan played the leader of the Vice Kings in the first game.
* [[No
▲* [[No Holds Barred Beatdown]]: {{spoiler|Johnny}} delivers the mother of all these to {{spoiler|Shogo}} after he {{spoiler|attempts to kill Johnny and The Boss at Aisha's funeral}}, even managing to ''{{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|punch his head through a tombstone.]]}}''
** And, for good measure, following each round with an icy "Get up."
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Maero, at the beginning, sees the Boss as a "washed-up gangbanger" and for this reason offers him/her only 20% of his shipment and by extension, 20% of Stilwater. And after the Boss angrily turns him down, he barely does anything in response, still seeing him/her and the Saints as a nuisance. {{spoiler|Then he gets his face burned with radioactive waste, his girlfriend killed, and his best friend crippled, and he then devotes all energy to destroying the Saints.}}
Line 158 ⟶ 156:
* [[Panty Shot]]: Inevitable if your character enjoys short skirts, motorcycles, and reckless driving..... unless you choose not to wear panties, of course
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Despite being a [[Heroic Sociopath]] for most of the game, several scenes reveal that the Boss has a softer side. Most notably, {{spoiler|his/her reaction to having to mercy-kill Carlos}}. And in the first mission of the "Ultor Exposed" DLC, the Boss is horrified by {{spoiler|the mutilated corpses of people who have been experimented on by Ultor}}.
* [[Police Brutality]]: The activity ''Fuzz'' is all about this, as you star in a ''Cops'' parody and use... well, excessive force to bring in high ratings.
** Cameraman: "Flamethrowers are standard issue...''right?''"
*** Goes [[Up to Eleven]] when the camera man issues you a chainsaw.
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: Jessica, who within two lines has told Carlos he looks like her housecleaner.
* [[Porting Disaster]]: The PC version has significant performance issues even on the lowest graphical settings - where matte paint removes lightning completely from car models, causing them to look like a flat colored shape on the screen.
* [[The Pratfall]]: There is a special "Pratfall Cheat Code" that allows you to perform pratfalls and faceplants for your own amusement.
Line 167 ⟶ 165:
* [[Purple Is Powerful]]: Male voice 2 (while drunk): "Yeah, my gang wears purple. You wanna say something 'bout that?"
** Which is ironic, considering what he says while sober.
{{quote|
* [[Rasputinian Death]]: Mr Sunshine, from the Sons of Samedi arc is {{spoiler|gunned down (as a [[Boss Fight]]), arises only to be shot again, gets up ''again'' causing Boss to unload their pistol into him, then has his head chopped off and thrown into a meat processor, just to make sure}}.
{{quote|
* [[Real Estate Scam]]: Septic Avenger, spraying sewage on building to lower property values.
** In the manual, at least. Talking to some of the ones who want it are spraying sewage for different reasons (like, for example, to spite the new mayor).
* [[Retcon]]: [[Word of God]] states that if you choose to start the second game as a woman then Playa has always been female.
* [[Retirony]]: Cops nearby will sometimes mention that the cop that you just killed was "about to retire"
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: The entire Brotherhood storyline. It starts with the Boss getting revenge for being completely shafted in a potential deal with the Brotherhood and insulted. Then revenge for them {{spoiler|dragging Carlos behind a truck until he is bleeding heavily and is missing a good part of his face. This results in the Boss having to [[Mercy Kill]] Carlos.}}
** Also the Ronin storyline after {{spoiler|they killed Aisha, nearly killed Gat, and then tries to kill the Boss and Gat at Aisha's funeral.}}
* [[Running Gag]]: Various folk (such as Gat, Aisha, etc. etc.) commenting on the Boss' appearance by asking whether or not they've done something with their hair.
** [[Fridge Brilliance|This becomes funnier]] after noticing the default Boss represented in the splash screens is bald.
** Lampshaded in a later mission where you meet up with {{spoiler|Julius}} at the Saints old hideout.
{{quote|
'''Boss:''' *pulls out a pistol* I didn't do ''shit'' to my hair! }}
** And Pierce's [[Butt Monkey]] moments and his ideas thwarted. Also Shaundi really getting around... and it ''helps''.
{{quote|
'''Shaundi:''' [Thinks] No.
'''Pierce:''' For real? }}
* [[Sarcastic Clapping]]: The Boss does this to Maero after {{spoiler|s/he arranges for Mareo to unknowingly run over Jessica, his girlfriend.}} S/he even steps out of the shadows while doing it.
* [[Score Multiplier]]: Several activities, such as Mayhem and Insurance Fraud, require you to gain these in order to succeed.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: When the boss and Maero come crashing through the roof, into the room where Donnie and Matt are hiding, Donnie, who had been that campaign's [[Butt Monkey]], decides hes had enough and makes a quick exit stage right. He doesn't appear again. Contrast to Matt, who stayed and {{spoiler|got a brick to his head}}
* [[Shout
** Not sure whether this is a coincidence or a shout-out: Dane Vogel happens to be the name of a character on VA Michael Rapport's former FOX sitcom The War At Home.
** The cashier at Apollo's signs off with "Have a nice day, [[Battlestar Galactica|so say we all]]." Made even funnier because Apollo's is a [[Fictional Counterpart]] to [
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: In the final mission {{spoiler|The Boss has Dane Vogel at a gunpoint, who desperately tries to talk the gun down by praising the Saints and the Boss.}} [[Killed Mid-Sentence|It didn't go well.]]
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]] / [[Suspiciously Apropos Music]]: The Klassic 102.4 channel can be like this. Sometimes it's weird running down gangbangers while a light piano piece plays, and sometimes you get to chase down vans in an attack helicopter while "Flight of the Valkyries" plays in the background.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Several Masako members pull one on Maero when he bursts into Vogel's office the second or third time, he doesn't notice until Vogel draws his attention to them.
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: For the most part, your recruitable AI buddies do a decent job at fighting alongside you... until they pick up an RPG. Then it's just a matter of time before they kill themselves (or you) with a rocket fired at somebody from point-blank range.
* [[Take That]]: The cutscene for one of the Rampage activities involves reporter Jane Valderama asking you to go on a rampage so that she can cover it and get more viewers than [[Jack Thompson|Zack]] [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|Johnson]], a "nutjob lawyer who gets hard at the idea of a lawsuit" crusading against media he deems to be offensive. He doesn't have a lot of support, but apparently makes a big enough ass out of himself that whenever he pulls some stunt, people listen.
** There was also the ad for the game where it compared GTAIV's mundane activities to the ''[[
** Russell, one of the target in Assassination side mission, is a guy in a [[Indiana Jones|fedora and a leather jacket]], who "when not sniffing coke off of prostitutes, dabbles in archaeological studies."
** In the first Ronin mission, Pierce wants to create an elaborate plan for a heist at their casino. The Boss and Gat decide it would be much more fun and quicker to just shoot up the place. Sound like [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|a shot at another sandbox game that had a needlessly complex heist plan]] you can think of?
* [[Tattooed Crook]]: Most noticeably the Brotherhood. The Boss uses this to disfigure Maero by dumping radioactive waste in his ink.
** Boss too, if you want; in fact you have to get at least one tattoo to make one Assassination target show up.
Line 206 ⟶ 204:
* [[Tron Lines]]: The unlockable Kaneda motorcycle has them.
* [[True Companions]]: How The Boss treats his gang members...[[Kick the Dog|most of the time.]]
* [[Two
* [[UST]]: The Boss thinks that there's some of this between Pierce and Shaundi, at least with the British voice set.
{{quote|
* [[Vapor Wear]]: Like the first game, you can
* [[Wall of Weapons]]: The inside of The General's limo is a small example; his side of the car is filled with NR4 pistols and K6 Krukov rifles.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Members of the Ronin also carry katana with them. Jyunichi even has [[Swords Akimbo|two]].
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Kazou Akuji ''really'' doesn't like his son Shogo, {{spoiler|and doesn't seem to particularly upset about his death so much as getting back at the Saints for stealing the Ronin's territory.}}
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: A radio ad trying to make chess championships seem cool.
{{quote|
* [[When Elders Attack]]: The elderly of Stilwater will occasionally attack you if you piss them off. Applies to some enemies, such as Kazuo Akuji, and The Boss as well if you made him/her old.
* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: The game answers this question with ''"actually, I just did"'' in the final mission against the Ronin. {{spoiler|What had been up until then a straight up sword fight ends with Boss shooting Akuji after losing their sword and Akuji taunts him/her for their lack of skill.}}
{{quote|
'''Boss''': No. ''[draws a pistol and shoots]'' [[Combat Pragmatist|I'm gonna cheat.]] }}
* [[Worth It]]: After completing a level in Escort, one of the clients will exit the car after saying "I don't have enough money to pay the rent, but it was worth it!"
