It's kind of funny how this character went from having one of the best boss battles in the first game to having the most annoying in the second game. Especially since New Destroyman can double team you and one can revive the other!
If the long-range Destroyman had a phase where if he was the only one left he'd start coming in to try and hit you at close range the fight would be a lot better, instead of you having to chase him across the map or try and Sonic Sword him over and over.
I'm aware that I'm alone in this opinion but I don't mind, I love the fuck out of his second fight. It surprised me in NMH2 but I was glad to see him back, he was an extremely fun bad guy. I loved the atmosphere and especially the music. The image of this modern, lone samurai girl fighting for her master's sake in the middle of nowhere, taking down an opponent who was her master's unfinished business was so sick. I enjoyed how tough the boss fight was, even on the hardest difficulty.
“Kill U 2wice Over” is one of my absolute favorite themes from the series. Much like skelter helters theme, “slingshot” it captures that punk aesthetic and pumps you full of adrenaline getting you ready for the fight
My friend watch me play all 3 NMH & he remained as the best opponent all three times. We even started saying "Destroy...." when we attack in other games. Or offering a hand before a match. He became our meme
If Earth continues to have contact with the rest of the galaxy, I can easily see Destroyman become a virus and take over an alien factory world, co-opt its resources to make a new, improved Mass-produced Destroyman initiative, build a starfleet to take over more of the galaxy, all to try his hand at killing Travis again with the technology of hundreds of species at his command. Given that the post-credits scene teasing a "change the future" plot line for NMH4, I can easily see one of the Galactic Destroymen killing Henry, just to show how much of a threat he is now and to demand his "nemesis" take him seriously. Of course, Travis won't give him that satisfaction for a while at least, but this will require him to leave Earth to kill Mr. Harnet beyond a shadow of a doubt, likely complaining the whole time about seeing his ego, insecurities, and self-delusion on full blast. I hope Suda at least considered some of this, and if he hasn't, then he needs to see this!
Could probably imagine a bit of a Kekfa type situation, where the guy was to essentially play second fiddle to another bad guy, up until some point where he basically steals the show.
Or he is "mass produced" like the comics and action-figures of superheroes. He is the comics series that gets constantly canceled and renewed for another series.
Actually there already is a Final Destroyman concept ready should Marvelous decide to make NMH4 without Suda. Even if NMH comes back and escapes Suda's garden of madness, Travis will not be allowed to escape Destroyman
Good thing for me that I’m one the nmh fans who likes the gift every time. Destroyman is a gift I enjoying getting every game he just comes back more cooler then before. I know some fans hate that he keeps coming back for more but I’m just glad that he’s loved enough to be the most reoccurring boss in the No More Heroes Games.
Now i think about it, Homelander and Destroyman feel like they’d fit into each others respective universes perfectly. They’re kinda the same if you think about it. I love a good’ corrupt superhero’ story. Glad I subbed 💙
This video has single handedly explained the appeal of No More Heroes. Meti is such a talent to explain what makes things great even if you haven't seen read or played it
Even though the fight was god awful, the New Destroymen gave a fun cutscene and one of if not the best tracks in the series with "Twin electromagic". It has such an incredible pace to it which really pumps you up, as it changes in intensity and characteristics. The electric guitars work as fantastic drivers of the melody, and can represent the two halves of Destoyman, as each take their time in the spotlight and switch back and forth. Also major props to the bass player in the back putting a lovely sound to the whole tune, which fills necessary space in the piece. Just the best track, with an unbridled punk energy which captures the core of Destroyman, and NMH as a whole. Now if only the fight was good...
I feel for Destroyman because I want to be the hero of my own story to avoid the reality of my life sucking ass. I hate how reality is and changing it is hard. Not being a hero and having to lose all the time is something me and Destroyman have in common, and I love him for that.
yeah same, but Destroyman just ruins any credibility you give him once you actually see how he functions. its like youre meant to feel pity when looking at the guy, even when youre supposed to be playing as the biggest loser, Travis Touchdown. cheap shots, laughing like a prick, condescending attitude, nipple MG’s, this guy is the epitome of a poser superhero, kinda like Travis but without any redemption or progression to his character. s’why his death scene is one of the best and most satisfying kills of NMH
I can’t lie, I’ve thought of a few costumes and personas that I could dress in and clean up the scum of Jacksonville with. Like donning yellow and black Samurai armor paired with a Katana would make me Kabutomushi, insectoid defender. I like your pfp by the way, hard to find reasonable Danganronpa fans nowadays.
Meti has videos about some no more heroes characters, he even did a math theory on their worlds currency. Its just only when he feels like making it which is rarely, but it’s pretty much worth the wait since suda really likes to design characters based on things in pop culture stuff he loves while somehow feels like he’s embracing the good, bad, and the ugly flaws in the favorite things he loves in pop culture.
The red and blue Destroyman could also be a reference to Superman as it happened that something similar happened to him the first time was in one singular story in the 40’s and a second time that lasted multiple stories during the 90’s in which Superman ended up divided into two versions of himself one blue and one red the first story to make use of that concept ended forgot through time while the second time is quite known and most importantly deeply hated by Superman fans
Or Cyborg Superman, the evil cyborg that masqueraded as Superman after Doomsday "killed" the real Superman. Both Destroymen and Cyborg Superman have bodies that are split between human looking half and robotic looking half and both mechanical half's have skull-like appearence.
The warehouse that you fight destroyman in nmh2 might also be another toku reference. Warehouse fights are very common in Kamen Rider, some of the same warehouses are used over and over.
Suda himself said he would like to make a deadpool game if he were allowed to. If that ever happens they should throw in Destroy man as a secret boss maybe turn him into a galactus type being as his final form
Funnily and coincidentally enough: I planned to have Destroy Man mass produce android versions of himself in my 2011 fanfic that never got made... ahhh memories
One of the best parts of the first game One of the most annoying bosses in the second One of the most surprising and best bosses in the third And Suda already has a Final Destroyman planned
Thank you for the video. Destroyman is probably my favorite character (besides Travis) out of the entire franchise so it was really cool to see a video made on him. Keep up the good work.
Destroyman stanss out cause he's THE one no more heroes boss who has NO redeeming traits or complexity, he's JUST an asshole who shows that as bad as Travis can be, he could ALWAYS be worse. Well, until No More heroes 3, which gave us an EVEN MORE despicable villain.
@@jcplays5831 btw as you know a lot about Suda 51. Try Kurayami dance manga. Its manga created by him. its part of sudaverse and travis makes cameo in it.
Stop Hanging DJ's is like one of my favorite themes in the entire series. the slow build up has such a good payoff to me. I wish NMH had more call backs musically outside of the NMH theme. while I do like Kill U 2wice Over, I remember being initially disappointed because it wasn't some kind of Stop Hanging DJ's remix or something lol. but now I'm older realize that's ok AND different composers so um... yeah.
True but as I come to realize KillU2WiseOver is actually a Rock Remix/Cover to Stop Hanging DJs and Feast Matsuri is also somewhat of an Electro remix of Stop Hanging DJs. All 3 have a similar sound to them if you listen closely but at the same time all 3 themes have their own uniqueness too them while sharing a bit of a similar sound to them as well. You have to listen closely to it though. Just listen to the Clings and Clacks of Stop Hanging DJs both KillU2WiseOver & Feast Matsuri have a similar sounding motif in them that’s similar thing clicking sounds in Stop Hanging DJs.
Man I would kill for more No More Heroes content. It's been my favorite series since I was 6 years old when it came out. Such a golden, glorious series.
With Travis' beam sword being based on the Schwartz Ring, it's entirely possible that Destroyman's handshake gag is based on Dark Helmet's handshake where he steals Lonestar's ring.
No More Heroes is a great game, I recently replayed it and I hope that we will see videos on the rest of the bosses, but the characters, design and battle with them are interesting and you can pick up something to create your ideas. Destroyman is a clear parody of the heroes of the Boy Scouts, only instead he is a really mean enemy Thanks for the video :D
You call him bastard, I call him Icon. We're not the same. Shittalking aside, I think this guy is my favorite NMH character. Don't get me wrong, there IS other cool characters in NMH and it's one of the few games where the main character is actually a goat and looks / behaves like a badass. But Destroyman just had this kinda special feeling to him, I dunno how to describe it. Yeah he's absolutely playing dirty every opportunity he gets BUT he at least KNOWS how to behave like a decent human being. I really like him. Also I'm 100% sure that Suda wanted to make this series as scuffed as possible. Look at Destroymans face at 13:42 - the load in is *TERRIBLE* and I bet that's EXACTLY what they were going for. Like, they could make so much better graphics, they just decided they didn't wanna.
what if Final Destroyman were made a real boss fight, and he was akin to Metal Gear Excelsus or any number of other giant bosses like that i mean, if he just keeps rebuilding himself, surely he would try to just crush Travis with a body as big as his ego
@@MetiNotTheBadGuy I have a feeling that Damon from NMH 3 is a reference to Devilman. Mostly Ryo being successful rich guy that manipulates a lot of events from behind the scenes. When in reality being half demon Also mixed with Kazuya from Tekken series. Whose whole character is also based on Ryo from Devilman. Half demon that takes over massive corporation. Under Kazuya rule, Mishima Zaibatsu turned into much more evil than under Heihachi involving drug deals and ton of animal experimentations. (compare Devilman with Devil Jin and Devil Kazuya and you will see ton of similiarities) With Kazuya joining SMASH BROS during NMH production and Damon looking totally like Devil Kazuya in SMASH BROS final battle ;D
Funny you mention Ghenryperez cos in his recent analysis of NMH3, Destroyman was the part of the game he disliked the most. Fate has a sense of humor here sometimes.
Part of me wants to say the Mass-Produced Destroymen is a Gundam reference (the mass-produced Big Zam), but if that was the case, they'd be green instead of silver and blue
Subtitles would make the alliterations used in this video a bit more understandable, and a little bit more enjoyable. Nice use of them, by the way. Especially at 5:18 : " ...though his finishing move, the devastating *Destroy Buster,* is a *powerful pelvic projectile painfully punishing perps by piercing them like paper.* "
Great video, another time Meti introduces to me to a franchise that I fall in love with it. Speaking of this video, it got me to finally get off my ass and watch The Boys, and I gotta say I love the series and think you doing a video on it would be interesting. Most likely a "building a bastard" on Homelander or Stormfront. Honestly, the building a bastard videos are always my favorites. Savagery of Soldier Boy perhaps?
I feel like a cool thing not a lot of people is just how complementary destroyman and Shinobu are. She's an Eastern Warrior archetype, he's a western superhero. She's big on honor. He's a dirty, lying cheat. She's one of the more difficult bosses in the game. He's one of the easiest. Likewise, she has one of the easier levels, while he has one of the more difficult.
"Kill you twice over" also has a couple different meanings when you remember that a.) it would be the second time he died, and b.) there are two of him to kill during the fight. You can kill him twice over two times.
I made a joke a while back that in future DLC or a sequel Destroyman will eventually return as a girl due to being destroyed so much he needs an entirely new body just to keep going XD
While it might not have been initially intentional, I love that Destroy Man is voiced by Josh Keaton, well known for being the Spectacular Spider-Man.
True villains never die, they just get resurrected in the sequels.
That was Destoryman's true goal, become so popular thecwroters have to revive him in the sequel.
It's kind of funny how this character went from having one of the best boss battles in the first game to having the most annoying in the second game. Especially since New Destroyman can double team you and one can revive the other!
If the long-range Destroyman had a phase where if he was the only one left he'd start coming in to try and hit you at close range the fight would be a lot better, instead of you having to chase him across the map or try and Sonic Sword him over and over.

The image of this modern, lone samurai girl fighting for her master's sake in the middle of nowhere, taking down an opponent who was her master's unfinished business was so sick. I enjoyed how tough the boss fight was, even on the hardest difficulty.
And then back to having a great fight in the third, imo
which is why i kill one and then camp around the body until the bastard comes over
I loved the new destroyman fight, haven't gotten to his fight in nmh1 but he looks like a lot of fun to fight
I love how destroyman designs consistently keeps having the body be more wider and more muscles
“Kill U 2wice Over” is one of my absolute favorite themes from the series. Much like skelter helters theme, “slingshot” it captures that punk aesthetic and pumps you full of adrenaline getting you ready for the fight
It's a really good theme but man you start to hate it when you have to fight this boss on bitter.
Subuta 2 😎
* Twin Electromagnetic
Anyone ever hear the version of Slingshot with lyrics?

This guy gets it
My friend watch me play all 3 NMH & he remained as the best opponent all three times. We even started saying "Destroy...." when we attack in other games. Or offering a hand before a match. He became our meme
Destroyman deserves to be the main antagonist of a No More Heroes game at this point.
If they make another one it could easily work with him making his own army or something
If Earth continues to have contact with the rest of the galaxy, I can easily see Destroyman become a virus and take over an alien factory world, co-opt its resources to make a new, improved Mass-produced Destroyman initiative, build a starfleet to take over more of the galaxy, all to try his hand at killing Travis again with the technology of hundreds of species at his command.

Kinda like Captian Marvel.
True face destroyman, could also be read as him being a true hero.
Seeming a face is a good guy in pro wrestling
The reason no more heroes 4 may never happen is because Suda is having trouble trying to figure out how to do a four way handshake shock joke
IT CAN HAPPEN suda Can find out how to pull that shit off
Have Travis/the person fighting Destroym4n somehow trick him into shaking his own hands
D: "Destroy spa-_wait a fucking minute-_" **boom**
Who’s knows, Nmh2 was originally gonna be the final installment in the series..
Remember the Mahjong Standoff in Killer7?
He'll always find a way.
Actually there already is a Final Destroyman concept ready should Marvelous decide to make NMH4 without Suda. Even if NMH comes back and escapes Suda's garden of madness, Travis will not be allowed to escape Destroyman
Destroyman is the gift that keeps on giving, wether you like it or not
Good thing for me that I’m one the nmh fans who likes the gift every time. Destroyman is a gift I enjoying getting every game he just comes back more cooler then before. I know some fans hate that he keeps coming back for more but I’m just glad that he’s loved enough to be the most reoccurring boss in the No More Heroes Games.

I just figure he's a super villain.
Destroyman's original theme in NMH 1 told me 2 things
His music sounds kinda like slot machines
And this guy is absolutely fucking insane

One of Josh Keaton's more underrated performances imo. He fucking nails it.
Destroyman should end up becoming the "true" final antagonist if NMH4 ends up happening.
Meti ranting about a fukin bear that did wrestling irl is just priceless to me
"Shake my hand and the fight can begin"
"Fuck you"
I feel for Destroyman because I want to be the hero of my own story to avoid the reality of my life sucking ass. I hate how reality is and changing it is hard. Not being a hero and having to lose all the time is something me and Destroyman have in common, and I love him for that.

@@flashdr1ve best way to describe destroyman.
The dude is a wolf in sheeps clothing except his sheep disguise sucks
@@flashdr1ve - Fair enough. He's fun to laugh at, but you can't even respect him.
@@waterking74 - His disguise in that example is not even a wolf outfit. It's just wolf ears and a snout. 😂

stop hanging dj's is still one of my fave tracks! i think its one of the best themes
It's so crazy to see you make a video on No More Heroes. I just finished playing all these games for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

FINALLY SOMEONE DID A VIDEO ESSAY ABOUT THIS DUDE!
My deepest gratitude
Some things never die.
Funnily and coincidentally enough: I planned to have Destroy Man mass produce android versions of himself in my 2011 fanfic that never got made... ahhh memories
One of the best parts of the first game
One of the most annoying bosses in the second
One of the most surprising and best bosses in the third
And Suda already has a Final Destroyman planned
Haven’t gotten to playing this series, but this character does pique my interest. Great video as always!
im down for a full analysis of No more heroes after watching this

Travis is based on Johny Knoxville. His design, personality and everything. That part was a bit off the mark.
the best part about him is thr handshake gag that travis falls for every damn time lmao
Stop Hanging DJ's is like one of my favorite themes in the entire series. the slow build up has such a good payoff to me.

Meti I just want you to know that you are one of the few RUclipsrs who consistently posts bangers, love your content homie
Man I always wondered if its possible to have sadism without becoming evil
That trigun reference was really cool, never really thought of it that way.
With Travis' beam sword being based on the Schwartz Ring, it's entirely possible that Destroyman's handshake gag is based on Dark Helmet's handshake where he steals Lonestar's ring.
To me destroy man feels like discount homelander in all the best ways like he's trying to go for that vibe but he's too pathetic to even pull that off
Can’t believe the bear hug originated from an actual bear! That’s wild!
Can’t wait for Building a Bastard: Mahito
Huh, I wonder if when he gets to Senator Armstrong will it be a Building a Bastard video or an Awesomeness analysis video.
I personaly like more to see how destroyman will evolve in each game than travis. He should get his own spin-off or comic or something like that
What is it with these guys and electrical torture?
First Ocelot and now this
12:38
more than Doombots, i think it is a reference to the villain Ultron, who also has thousands of manufactured replicas of himself
NMH content hell yeah I'm down
I was not expecting the Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha soundtrack that's cool, anyways great analysis
nice trigun reference dude
love the soundtrack to the anime it's filled with bangers
About 3
Final destroyman in the no more heroes 3 day one artbook is called "unused concept"
The intro was Absolutely Hillarious! 🤣
No More Heroes is a great game, I recently replayed it and I hope that we will see videos on the rest of the bosses, but the characters, design and battle with them are interesting and you can pick up something to create your ideas. Destroyman is a clear parody of the heroes of the Boy Scouts, only instead he is a really mean enemy
Thanks for the video :D
You call him bastard, I call him Icon.
We're not the same.
Shittalking aside, I think this guy is my favorite NMH character.
Don't get me wrong, there IS other cool characters in NMH and it's one of the few games where the main character is actually a goat and looks / behaves like a badass.
But Destroyman just had this kinda special feeling to him, I dunno how to describe it.
Yeah he's absolutely playing dirty every opportunity he gets BUT he at least KNOWS how to behave like a decent human being.
I really like him.
Also I'm 100% sure that Suda wanted to make this series as scuffed as possible.
Look at Destroymans face at 13:42 - the load in is *TERRIBLE* and I bet that's EXACTLY what they were going for.
Like, they could make so much better graphics, they just decided they didn't wanna.
It looks like he just put his two half robot parts together to create a ‘full robot’ version of himself.
Its odd he pretends to be innocent still despite looking like THAT
I hope your Travis Touchdown video will be a masterpiece
Calling the mass produced destroymen masspro destroyman would have been a cool reference
I knew a guy like this irl but only briefly.
the title for this video could not be more appropriate.
Excited to see another NMH vid from you, Meti!
Hooray for alliteration!
4:46 I’m not the only one who got a laugh out of that scene?
Funny how someone who’s based on Homelander got a video on him the day after Homelander fought Omni-Man. And both get their heads destroyed too
I finally purchased shimoneta
Oh you better believe those belts got a LOT bulkier after the seventies
what if Final Destroyman were made a real boss fight, and he was akin to Metal Gear Excelsus or any number of other giant bosses like that
i mean, if he just keeps rebuilding himself, surely he would try to just crush Travis with a body as big as his ego
You should do more no more heroes videos, this one was really good!
I though the true face destroy man was a reference to Zennon from devilman
That could be true as well, I might have missed that connection due to my unfamiliarity with Devilman
@@MetiNotTheBadGuy I have a feeling that Damon from NMH 3 is a reference to Devilman. Mostly Ryo being successful rich guy that manipulates a lot of events from behind the scenes. When in reality being half demon
Also mixed with Kazuya from Tekken series. Whose whole character is also based on Ryo from Devilman. Half demon that takes over massive corporation. Under Kazuya rule, Mishima Zaibatsu turned into much more evil than under Heihachi involving drug deals and ton of animal experimentations. (compare Devilman with Devil Jin and Devil Kazuya and you will see ton of similiarities)

and Damon looking totally like Devil Kazuya in SMASH BROS final battle ;D
Funny you mention Ghenryperez cos in his recent analysis of NMH3, Destroyman was the part of the game he disliked the most.
Fate has a sense of humor here sometimes.
I've been waiting for another one of these for a while.
Ya mentioned Killer 7 twice in the same video! This demands character analysis!! Pick one, it doesn't matter which, they're all golden.
I really want him in four to be just robotic like
You must shake hand to start fight but I’ll deceive you I’m a hero I’m a hero your a villain
Part of me wants to say the Mass-Produced Destroymen is a Gundam reference (the mass-produced Big Zam), but if that was the case, they'd be green instead of silver and blue
I need that stroke meme sauce.
DESTROOOOOOY BEEEEEAMM

This is so funny, I just started playing NMH1 and playing through the franchise
00:07 so even more connections to sudaverse ;3 No more heroes and diabolical pitch
I love your work you bad guy
Or not
But totally do
More NMH content please!
I was hoping if you would do a video on destroyman
I feel like a cool thing not a lot of people is just how complementary destroyman and Shinobu are.
She's an Eastern Warrior archetype, he's a western superhero.
She's big on honor. He's a dirty, lying cheat.
She's one of the more difficult bosses in the game. He's one of the easiest. Likewise, she has one of the easier levels, while he has one of the more difficult.
oh dude hell yeah, love me some Destroy Man
Fantastic work!
Great video. May i suggest doing The Glorious Perfection of Senator Armstrong
"Kill you twice over" also has a couple different meanings when you remember that a.) it would be the second time he died, and b.) there are two of him to kill during the fight.
You can kill him twice over two times.
one thing that i always wondered is why Travis even tho he knows the trick of not shaking his hand, shakes his hand anyways in NMH 3 ?
Oh yeah, the best assassin ever
Destroyman is basically a weaker version of Homelander
Homelander is literally just Evil Superman, so it’s pretty much a givin.
NEED ME THAT HOLLY SUMMERS VIDEO
