As revealed by SUDA 51 and Grasshopper Manufactures, the first batch of characters we can see that mostly everyone is back to reprise their roles for the third entry. Robin Atkins Downs, Paula Tisa, Kimberly Brooks, they are back. The only exception is with Mark Allan Stewart replacing Quinton Flynn as Henry Cooldown. The reason likely is due to the troubling allegations against Flynn.

We then see an updated design to Henry Cooldown by artist Takashi Miyamoto (@TakDusk) . We see that he has gotten a brooding look. Hair is now spiked back. Very similar to Vergil of Devil May Cry. Though some say it look uncanny to Hunter X Hunter’s Chrolo. To wonder what has happen since No More Heroes 2 that cause such an image shift. Hopefully, it will be explained in No More Heroes 3.
Then we have the design and look of Mr. Blackhole. He is the first assassin in FU’s army. So what is there to say about this being? He is very geometric, floating on orbs, and has a black hole for a face. Yep, the mad mind of Suda51 is still here. We still have the other assassins and aliens to contend with. What 0ther crazy aliens and monstrosities have SUDA 51 cooked up this time?
We will see soon as No More Heroes is slated for Nintendo Switch on August 27, 2021.
