* LongRangeFighter: DoubleSubverted. They're specialty lies in ranged combat with even the knife-wielding Kevin relying on knife-throwing but most of them can be upgraded to defend themself against most Smiles through special Counter Attacks and Finisher Attacks on downed foes. Still, the only way to get [[ExperiencePoints thick blood]] from foes is to shoot their weakpoints and it's not like all Smiles can be hurt via these close-range attacks. Thus, it's best to fight from a distance anyway.


Added DiffLines:

* BadassInANiceSuit: [[spoiler:Young Harman wears a pretty snazzy tan suit. Combined with his fedora and Tommy Gun, he's the spitting image of a classic gangster.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:Young Harman who's an entire existence isn't made clear until the literal last level of the game. Harman Smith as a whole may count with all the supplementary material going over what his deal truly is.]]

* VisionaryVillain: Implied by his quote above though what this "order" he's referring to entails is never really specified at least in the game.



A terrorist organization [[TerroristsWithoutACause hell-bent on causing terror for its own sake]], headed by Kun Lan. Heaven Smiles are ordinary people infected by a virus that turns them into strangely coloured, ever-smirking, ever-cackling zombies, whose only means of attack is suicide-bombing their target. They are still easily dispatched [[AttackItsWeakPoint by shooting their weak points]], turning them into clouds of blood.

Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheSillyOnes: They can get undeniably silly at times but the threat they pose as living bombs can be quite terrifying as those [[CruelAndUnusualDeath poor civilians in the first mission can attest to.]]


Added DiffLines:

* MadnessMantra: Get close enough to one without agitating them and you can hear them mumbling to themselves incessantly in a distorted manner. It's actually a slowed down excerpt from Kun Lan's conversation with Harman Smith.

[[TheSmurfettePrinciple The only girl]]. A sarcastic yet downtrodden woman with a permanent bloodstain on her dress and no shoes, giving her the nickname "Barefoot". She can [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic slit her wrists]] and use the ensuing RainOfBlood to destroy hidden barriers, as well as absorb other blood into herself. Her [[SniperPistol pistol has a very handy scope]]. Notably, when written in Japanese, her name uses kanji instead of katakana (yes, even the Smith).

Technically, you have control over the characters, but you effectively ''also'' have control of the Handsome Men only attack when you do, who use the exact same weapons, shooting, reloading, and even ''missing'' whenever you do, as a result the same characters win and lose every time.

Does Not Like Shoes has been renamed and redefined to focus on characters that explicitly or implicitly state a preference for going barefoot. Removing misuse


* DoesNotLikeShoes: KAEDE is codenamed "Barefoot" as she runs around, well, barefoot. In her official art she is seen wearing high heels, which perhaps justifies this as she wouldn't be able to run around very effectively in heels.

But he clearly realized something was wrong with his operation and his ''life'' after [[spoiler:murdering all of the Smiths besides Harman]] and, not wanting to keep dealing with all the manipulation anymore, [[IDieFree took himself out.]] This leads to [[spoiler:being reborn as Garcian, a relative HeelFaceTurn, an extermination of the last of the Smiles by his own hand which arguably saves the world,]] and, [[MindScrew possibly]], an eventual KarmicJackpot of ascension to godhood by freeing himself of Harman and Lun Kan's control.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* MalevolentMaskedMen: AYAME's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animegao_kigurumi ''kigurumi'']] mask is part of what makes her such a memorable antagonist. The bug-eyed anime features stick out in a game where characters have realistically-rendered faces. [[UncannyValley This contrast creates a rather eerie effect]], which isn't helped by her holding a completely realistic submachine gun. She looks less like a cosplayer and more like a masked terrorist... which is kind of what she ''is'', given that she's working for Heaven Smile.
