Awright, so, double making sure, this blog will have spoilers. Don't read this if you haven't beaten the game. Or, hell, don't read this if you wanna wait for someone to make some better observations than me.

Still here? Awright, here I go.

1. Travis left his Master's Beam Katana with Naomi. Travis went pretty crazy when his master died, if you recall from the first game. That sword was also the only sword you could use in the final battle with Henry. Why would he give it up? What if he wasn't planning on using it again? It could be said that he didn't have it because he wasn't planning on using it again; like they weren't planning for him to have another game. Once he gets back in the ranked fights, he can buy it, but it still stands that Travis left behind a weapon of someone that was extremely important to him.

2. Travis's dual Beam Katana. Normally, he only uses one, right? Nothing odd there, until you hear the thought that the Beam Katana represents Travis' repressed sexual life (you know, the one he doesn't have). In other words, the Beam Katana is his, uh, sword. The dual Beam Katana are from his friend, Bishop, who dies in the beginning of the game. If we were to follow this logic, that means that the dual Beam Katana are either a true form of friendship between Travis and Bishop, or that Travis is fighting with Bishop, sort of, at his side. Or they were having a relationship beyond being friends. Unlikely, though.

3. Sylvia can't count. At the beginning, when Travis talks to Sylvia after finding out Bishop was killed, Sylvia tells Travis that the man who sent out the hit on Bishop was the #1 ranked assassin. When Travis says he'll take him down, Sylvia replies with something along the lines of "You better hurry. There are 50 others out to get him." Travis is ranked #51. The final assassin is ranked #1. 1 + 50 = 51. Unless there's a #52 assassin, her math is wrong.

4. One of the common enemies looks like Emir. If you know the name, and played the game, you may have noticed him. White suit, dark skin, yellow tie. I saw him and squeed a bit.

5. Travis is a vampire. When in the hotel restroom right before fighting Nathan Copeland I remember his name because he was awesome), look in the mirror. See anything? Neither do I. At least he doesn't sparkle.


Well, that's all I got so far. Playing it again, so I'll see if I can get any good thoughts out about this game.
