Today I got back to No More Heroes, and collected the rest of the Lovikov balls and most of the buried treasure on the world map. I still needed more cash for the next ranking fight though, so I did the coconut and garbage collection side jobs a few times.
The rank 7 boss didn’t seem to have as many henchmen as the others, and the only really notable part about the trip to meet him was near the end where a group of his henchmen also had beam katanas and were kicking my ass pretty thoroughly. A lucky pull on the slot machine let me finish off the last two easily, though. The boss himself was a superhero named Destroyman, with an array of various superhero-ish attacks and a rather disturbing beam he shot from a device mounted on his crotch. He wasn’t too hard though, as it was easy to tell what attack he was about to use from his stance and shouting, so they were fairly easy to block or dodge.
After beating him, I was able to get a new wrestling move from another video, do some more gym training, and opened up a new side job filling cars with gas. This job’s fairly easy, and pays better than the others so far, which is good because the stretches of having to save up cash for the next fight are getting a bit tedious.
