Was apart of Jeane fast forwarding a part of the game to cut some time explaining what she did.
*So it won't be No More Heroes Forever.

Weaponry:


File:Schpeltiger.png
Schpeltiger II:
Travis' own custom motorbike.
Equipped with rear twin disk brakes, specially tuned suspension, a long spin arm, and 30-inch tires.
The engine is described to be "super freaky".
While the top speed is impossible to measure, it can outspeed most cars.


File:Blood Berry.png
Blood Berry:
Travis' signature Beam Katana.
*After he bought it from an online auction.
Can easily slice through flesh, bone and stone.
When activated, the frame of the Blood Berry is extracted along with the blade, and the receiver is headed by a blade attachment in the form of a pointed spike.
Cannot function properly without a receiver.
Like all his other Beam Katanas, can be pulled out of hammerspace.


File:Tsubaki.png
Tsubaki:
The first model in the Tsubaki line.
Provides much better durability than Blood Berry.
*And possibly have more cutting power to it.
Uses an extendable frame and receiver.
Combines Beat Attacks with standard slashes, giving several opportunities to use wrestling moves.


File:TsubakiMkII.png
Tsubaki MK-II:
The second line in the Tsubaki models.
Despite being much larger than the first Tsubaki, is still a prototype.
The extractable frame now contains five emitters and receivers which rotate simultaneously.
*Which means it requires more strength must be put into wielding Tsubaki MK-II.
Boasts superior power than it's predecessor.
*Even stronger than the Tsubaki MK-III.



File:TsubakiMkIII.png
Tsubaki MK. III or the Camellia:
The completed Tsubaki model.
Does not feature an extendable frame.
The Kanji written on it is used as a crossguard for the sword.
Operates at maximum energy efficiency.
*Thus eliminating the need to recharge.


File:Travis Touchdown 2.jpg
Rose Nasty:
A pair of Beam Katanas given to him by his friend Bishop Shidux's will.
The off-hand beam katana has a slightly shorter blade than its counterpart.
*Making the set similar to daisho, a Japanese term for a matched pair of traditionally made Japanese swords.
Both blades are swung, allowing versatility and good damage radius.
While faster than that of Tsubaki MK III, lacks stopping power and relies on combos.


Peony by nathanralls09
Peony:
One of the longest Beam Katanas in the series.
Like the Tsubaki Mk-II, Travis wields it with two hands due to it's power.
Is stronger than ever that of the Tsubaki MK-II in power and crowd control.
The blade extends and contracts based on its user's ki.
*Which in practice means the Peony's blade extends as Touchdown's Ecstasy Gauge rises, and contracts as his Health Gauge decreases.


Ecstasy Gauge and Darkside Mode:


Fighting and killing really inspires Travis, and it often inspires fanaticism in the people he's fighting.
This has combat benefits for Travis. The more he fights, the more passionate he gets, which fills his Ecstasy Gauge.
As the gauge rises, Travis is capable of performing more attacks with his slash combos, and hitting faster and harder with combos.
*While also increasing his strength.
While Travis hits and avoids getting hit, he can enter a super mode known as Dark Mode.
*In this state, Travis hits harder, becomes quicker and is more or less invulnerable during that time.
As it rises, Travis can enter one of several godlike battle trances, which is called Darkside Mode.
*Travis has a chance to enter this mode every time he performs a special finishing move on an opponent.
**The variations Travis can enter into are....


https://thumbs.gfycat.com/FrightenedUntriedDrongo-size_restricted.gif
Anarchy In The Galaxy/Gooseberry Sugar Donut:
Activated by matching 7's.
Can be stored and is not activated immediately.
If activated, can release an attack strong enough to wipe out every enemy in the room.
In No More Heroes 2, is renamed to Gooseberry Sugar Donut.
*And Travis performs an explosive spinning slash.

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/AmpleImpishGrackle-size_restricted.gif
Cherry:
Activated by matching.. well, Cherries.
Travis shouts "This is the end!" as his enemies movement slows down.
*Allowing them to be sliced down.
**While Travis' movement is sped up.

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/WhoppingBlandKodiakbear-size_restricted.gif
Strawberry On The Shortcake:
In No More Heroes 1, activated by matching three grasshoppers and in No More Heroes 2, by three cherries.
Travis encases whatever blade he has in lightning.
*Making it stronger and faster.
In No More Heroes 2, Strawberry On The Shortcake makes Travis move so quickly that his perspective is slowed down.
*Essentially speedblitzing his foes.

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ThoughtfulHorribleEquine-size_restricted.gif
Blueberry Cheese Brownie:
Activated by matching Three Bells.
During this mode, Travis can aim and shoot balls of incinerating energy.
*And any cannon fodder in it's way will be killed.
In No More Heroes 2, capable of firing off two energy spheres and can attack his foes with Deathblows.

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/RaggedKaleidoscopicAfricanharrierhawk-size_restricted.gif
Cranberry Chocolate Sundae:
Activated by matching three BARs.
In No More Heroes 1, Travis walks very slowly in this mode but he can kill any normal enemies in one hit during this mode.

*He is also invincible while using Cranberry Chocolate Sundae.
In No More Heroes 2, Travis transforms into a tiger.
*Which can render his enemies to pieces or maul and rip them apart.

Weaknesses:


https://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0agi5w4HH1r28uwwo1_500.gif
Has a morale code when it comes to fighting women.
*Feel highly uncomfortable fighting women and would rather spare them.
Travis will not kill anyone who he sees as a true and honest warrior.
Prideful and headstrong.
Durability has limits.
His blades can be disabled by an electric shock or by being doused in water.
His blades also does have to be recharged.
An incorrigible pervert.
*Will be distracted by a good enough bust.
**Was talked back into killing when Sylvia said he'll have sex with her if he does.




"Death? Never crossed my mind."

In the world of Death Battle, the combatants always seek and try their hardest to become #1.
But in the case of the Crownless King, it shall be only him that will be ranked #1 after he cleans the competition!!

As always, if you want to use this bio just contact me for permission and whatnot.
Travis Touchdown and No More Heroes as a whole belongs to Suda51.
