YMMV / The 25th Ward

• Angst? What Angst?: At the start of #7: black out, Hatoba takes the fact that he was forced to kill the treacherous Kosaka with complete indifference. Given his attitude in #5: electride, this is a surprising shift in attitude.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: digital man has the encounter with a girl named Alice, that turns into a demon. The only relevance this has is to have her express how even she is wary of Kurumizawa.
• Complete Monster ("Matchmaker" scenario): Shigino is a member of the Okiai Syndicate who works with the mayor and Postal Federation in their plan to create the newest generation of Kamui and spread chaos across the city. Tasked with gathering data on criminal power so that his superiors can harness its essence, Shigino pits the sides of preservation and destruction together in an attempt to shake up the Regional Adjustment Bureau. Having an obsessive infatuation over Tsuki, Shigino, finding that he can only get off when his crush feels misery, decides to ruin his life for sexual pleasure. This includes selling him out to the police; killing his friend and co-worker Yabukawa; and drugging his partner Osato enough to have him kill Okiai boss Ishiki. Abducting Osato to torturously extract his criminal power in front of Tsuki, Shigino spends his remaining moments happy to make his crush suffer.
• Ending Fatigue: As mentioned in the main page, black out. It doesn't help that the Save and Load functions are disabled in this entire chapter, meaning you have to sit through the dialogue at the beginning of the chapter every time you come back. And getting all 100 endings takes almost twelve hours. Hopefully you have a rubber band for your controller handy.
• Funny Moments: A lot of the bizarre joke endings in black out, especially the ones that aren't actually endings at all and are really Suda gushing over his interests (namely the ones about Batman and his various protégés).
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In the greenout segment of Red, Blue and Green, Midori Midorikawa relates her backstory to the reader, starting with how she resents the fact that she's named after the color green (when her favorite color is red), but loves her parents in spite of this, and also mentions that she has a sister named Doremi. In No More Heroes III, it turns out that she introduces herself to anyone this way.
• Magnificent Bastard: "Matchmaker" scenario: "The Translator", real name Mitsuki Haijima, aka "Heidi", is a member of the Okiai Syndicate assisting his bosses Shigino and Kiryu in spreading chaos across the 25th Ward. The Syndicate's most smooth and astute member, Haijima also moonlights as the writer for the tabloid magazine 25-Today while he assists Shigino in the ruination of Tsuki's life. Assisting in Tsuki's arrest many years ago, Haijima creates the Kamui Fan Club (Pending) as a distraction for Tsuki in order to kill his friend Yabukawa. Planting Sasa into the RAB to shake the organization up, Haijima invites Tsuki and Sasa to the Thousand Year Hotel, which he managed to refurbish into a maze in less than a day, just so he can have Sasa betray Tsuki. Making a deal with the suicidal Okiai boss Ishiki, Haijima drugs Osato in order to unlock his criminal power to have him kill Ishiki. Meeting Tsuki in a secret room, Haijima commits suicide by drinking poisoned wine, while using his last word to provide Tsuki with a hint to Shigino's hideout.
• Scrappy Mechanic: Tokio's chat sessions in "Placebo". Just like the game says, you have to get into the flow of the conversation. Here's the thing: everytime you choose the wrong answer, you have to start the chat again from the very beginning. At least the game records the correct option if you answered the following question wrong, but most of these sessions relies on pure trial and error, especially if you don't have a guide with you or if you don't know what you're doing. The trick is to find the "flow" of the conversation: the correct dialogue option is the one that is between conversational and interrogative, not just one or the other.
• Squick: In-universe example, when Tsuki is profoundly disturbed and disgusted when he finds out that Shigino has been ruining his life for sexual pleasure.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Many players assumed Osato was a woman when they first saw him and were caught off guard when other characters referred to him with male pronouns.
