A Mysterious Twist in Travis Touchdown’s Backstory in No More Heroes 3
Have you ever wondered about the intriguing backstory of Travis Touchdown in No More Heroes 3? Well, prepare to be amazed as we delve into an unknown moment in Travis’ history. In a recent interview with the creator of No More Heroes, Suda51, I had the privilege of uncovering a surprising revelation about Travis’ unique appearance in the 2019 No More Heroes 3 trailer.
In the original trailer, Travis appeared disheveled, sporting facial hair and an orthopedic collar. It was a departure from the familiar image that fans of No More Heroes had grown to love. However, within a few minutes of gameplay, Travis activated the Death Glove, reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch console, and donned a mecha armor resembling Iron Man, returning to his well-groomed self.
This was just one of the surreal and exhilarating moments that No More Heroes 3 threw at players without much explanation. Fans of the series have learned to expect the unexpected, from talking cats to scientists transforming into trees. Personally, I speculated that the orthopedic collar was meant to aid Travis in his recovery following a decapitation incident in Travis Strikes Again, at the hands of John Winter, a character based on renowned game designer Jeff Minter. Little did I know that the truth was much more complex.
According to Suda: “Yes, I was going to mention that in Travis Strikes Again or later, but between that game and No More Heroes 3, Travis was attacked by Kimmy Howell. You know, the one he was tracking in No More Heroes 2, who said she would come back to kill him once she gained more power, before Travis spared her life. At some point between these two games, she ambushed him, but he managed to escape and started healing at the No More Heroes motel. You’re actually the first person from the press to ask me about it.”
At this point, Suda’s translator, James Mountain, informed me that he had asked him the same question some time ago, but Suda had replied, “I don’t remember.” So, technically, I wasn’t the first person to ask the question, but I was the first to receive a response, which is still pretty cool.
It’s also important to have a bit more context as to why Travis finally confronts Kimmy in No More Heroes 3. The two heroes engaged in an electrifying rap battle, ultimately drawing their laser swords. Personally, I was saddened by the outcome of this confrontation, as I had always hoped that Kimmy would become a capable ally in the series. Now, I understand why Travis wasn’t as forgiving.
