12 Weirdest Video Game Enemies (And What They Represent)

12. Bad Girl - No More Heroes

There is not a semblance of normality when it comes to the balls to the wall weird game that is No More Heroes, something that sees low-life weeb warrior Travis Touchdown valiantly vow to become the number one ranked assassin in the world, all because he wants to boff a lass. Yeah, he’s not exactly the pope.

However, the bosses of the game, while being some of the best action sequences you can hope to play, are actually all character studies of Travis and the player themselves. Each showcases either a tragic flaw in our protagonist, or provides a commentary on the concept of violence as gratification.

There's no better example of Travis being faced with his own limitations than the showdown against Bad Girl. She represents the carnal pursuit of violence as something sexual, or at least immediate gratification. She sees no honour, no deeper meaning to the violence that surrounds her profession as an assassin, and scoffs at Travis trying to justify his aggression under the guise of nobility or a quest to prove himself.

In her eyes he’s just as bad as she is, even commenting how there is little to separate them. After all, they both enjoy the violence, they both seek it out, and both of them are VERY good at killing.
