• Anticlimax Boss:
  • The Last Shot Smile, boss of the Playable Epilogue.
  • Most Smiles that appear as mid-bosses are usually this, since they normally require a single hit to kill. However, most of these are justified since they become regular enemies. The last two do not, however, and are two of the toughest bosses in the game. In fact, you can make an argument that the last one is the Final Boss and the ones after are Post Final Bosses.
• Complete Monster (Curtis Blackburn's entire existence is so that you feel better about playing as a group of assassins)
  • Suzie is probably the most remorseless and psychopathic Remnant Psyche that the Killer7 encounters, made all the more disconcerting because she's a teenage girl. Her personal timeline of events is fractured, but she apparently killed her boyfriend, several of her classmates, her mother, an anonymous caretaker, and probably a number of other bystanders before seeking out the Killer7 herself, at which point they apparently just killed her as a matter of principle.
• Crazy Awesome (But of course.)
• Crowning Moment of Awesome (Mask De Smith headbutting a bullet out of the air. Also, Dan effortlessly dodging the Eye Beam of and subsequently dispatching Handsome Black.
  • Mask getting killed, the action stopping, and Mask coming back with the ability to unleash a storm of missiles at the enemy.
    • From the same sequence: Every other one of the Handsome Men who is defeated simply falls over the same way one of the Smiths would if they die. Harman, however, hits his opponent so hard he explodes like a Heaven's Smile.
  • Mask having the ability to insta-kill several types of Smiles that otherwise require precise shooting to take down.
  • The end of chapter one is what sticks in the minds of most people, where Kun Lan effortlessly grabs and then rides the momentum of a bullet from Harman's BFG.
• Ensemble Darkhorse For a character that gets very little development, Con Smith is notably popular among fans of the game.
  • KAEDE has literally zero ingame character development, but remains popular for her very simple, yet strikingly memorable, character design.
    • And the fact that you get plenty of panty shots, thanks to camera placements.
  • Andrei Ulmeyda, despite only appearing for one chapter, is a fan-favorite thanks to his over-the-top eccentricity and incredibly hammy performance by Cam Clarke.
• That One Boss (Ayame Blackburn is ridiculously hard to hit and has a tendency to tag you with bullets every few seconds.)
  • Young Harman also has a ton of health (more than MASK) and a Tommy Gun with infinite ammo.
• True Art Is Incomprehensible (No need to explain that.)
• The Untwist (Garcian's identity and his murder of the other Smiths isn't just heavily foreshadowed, it's everything but flat-out stated long before The Reveal. Since this is a Suda51 game, opinions are divided on whether this is a poorly-executed Twist Ending, a parody of twist endings (a la No More Heroes), or a deliberate untwist.)
  • (But perhaps there is a hint of twist, since Emir apparently shot himself after killing the Smith Syndicate on the rooftop, meaning that he was dead, too.)
• Values Dissonance (Essentially the entire point of the game: the whole game revolves around the conflict between American/Western and Japanese/Eastern values.)
  • "What is 'United States'? What is the purpose of the President? -I'm Japanese, how the hell should I know?"
