}}'''Nezu''' is a character in ''[[The Silver Case]]''. He is a programmer, controlling the entire city of [[Ward 24]] as if it were a video game. He is one of the main antagonists of the game, and is the one behind many of the events that occur.

==Appearance and Personality==
Nezu is said to be a man in his 30s, but is mentally and physically a child. This is not due to having a [[silver eye]].

It was said he lacked any kind of ambition, but had a supercomputer-level intellect, allowing him to manage the entire city on his own. He seems to have little regard for human life, treating them as pawns in his "game".

==History==
Nezu was an expert programmer chosen to oversee the development and management of [[Ward 24]]. He was put in place by [[Uminosuke Hachisuka|Mayor Hachisuka]], to control the city as if he were playing a city-management video game. He continued controlling the city for 20 years, maniupulating the populace as pawns. For an unknown reason, Nezu maintained the appearance and mind of a child, despite being a man in his 30s. He orchestrated the re-appearance of [[Kamui Uehara]], as a sort of "in-game event" to test the city's system. He continued to manipulate events in the background throughout the events of the game, such as sending as assassin to kill [[Kaiji Enzawa]]. On December 24th, 1999, he was finally confronted by [[Tetsugoro Kusabi]] and [[Akira]] at the top of the [[TV Tower]], and was killed.

==Trivia==
*[https://web.archive.org/web/20050226133909fw_/http://www.grasshopper.co.jp/silver/silverqa.html| In a Q&A] with [[Goichi Suda]] from the original ''The Silver Case'' website, it is said that Nezu's ageless appearance is not due to having a silver eye.
*A woman is seen slumped in a chair in Nezu's room. [https://youtu.be/sdiiVej_C6c| According to Suda], this is [[Sayaka Baian]].
*Various pictures of Sayaka Baian can be seen on the screens in Nezu's room.
*The train that brings Akira to the Shelter Plaza is named "Nezu 4".
*Nezu is possibly a reference to Yima, who is a ruler of earth, whom is eternally 15.

==Development==
Grasshopper Manufacture was acquired by NetEase Games in May 2021, during ongoing development of ''[[No More Heroes III]]''. Goichi Suda presented three projects to NetEase, and they replied that he could choose whichever project he wanted. As a result, development of ''Romeo is a Dead Man'' officially began in January 2022 under the working title ''Project Deadburgh''. It was decided that the game would be an entirely original IP, rather than a sequel. Suda's goal was to expand the action gameplay of ''[[Travis Strikes Again]]'' and ''No More Heroes III'' to a larger scale. The game's development included the construction of a physical diorama of the game's world which could then be incorporated into the game through 3D scanning. The game was properly revealed with a trailer in Sony's June 2025 ''State of Play'' presentation.

==Trivia==
*On Steam, the game is internally listed with the codename "Sevenger", named after a monster-fighting robot originally appearing in ''Ultraman Leo''.
*Romeo’s design was first revealed in a Peach Momoko drawn art piece in 2023

Goichi Suda

2026-07-20T10:01:10Z

TheSilverlarp1999: /* Works */

[[Image:GoichiSuda.jpg|250px|thumb|SUDA51 sits for an interview on August 2, 2013 to promote ''Killer Is Dead''.]]

'''Goichi Suda''' (須田剛一), better known by the pseudonym '''SUDA51''', is a Japanese writer, video game director and the chief executive officer of [[Grasshopper Manufacture]]. Beginning his career as a scenario writer for [[Human Entertainment]], Suda departed five years later and formed Grasshopper in Suginami, Japan. He became popularly known as SUDA51, a pun on his given name Goichi, where ''go'' means ''five'' in Japanese and ''ichi'' means ''one''. SUDA51's roles in the games made at his studio have varied over the years, however he has not limited his work only to Grasshopper titles.

==Biography==
Goichi Suda was born in the city of Nagano, in the Nagano Prefecture of Japan on January 2, 1968. Much of his early life has not been discussed publicly. In the early 1990s, Suda worked as a funeral director, though the stench disagreed with him and he continued to search for job openings elsewhere. One of the advertisements Suda responded to was for a position at video game studio Human Entertainment, where work was beginning on ''[[Super Fire Prowrestling III: Final Bout]]''. Suda was convinced his knowledge and passion for wrestling would guarantee him the job, however his excitement weakened after weeks passed without a reply. Suda eventually received a response from Human, who hired him as a scenario writer largely because they needed more designers with wrestling knowledge. Suda promptly left his job as a funeral director.

Suda wrote scenarios for ''Super Fire Prowrestling III: Final Bout'' and ''[[Super Fire Prowrestling Special]]'', the latter shocking players with an ending where the hero commits suicide. His somber themes flourished even greater when he had the opportunity to direct ''[[Twilight Syndrome: Search]]'' and ''[[Twilight Syndrome: Investigation]]'', as well as write ''[[Moonlight Syndrome]]''. These were the only five titles Suda worked on with Human, as following the release of ''Moonlight Syndrome'' in 1997, he left the company to form a studio of his own.

Grasshopper Manufacture Inc. opened its doors on March 30, 1998 in Suginami, Japan. Suda was joined at first by only three other designers forming Grasshopper's programming, art and sound departments. Severely restrained by a lack of manpower and resources, Grasshopper combatted this by developing a game engine which would make their text adventure stand out from traditional ones. Suda also wrote a story connecting it with his last game with Human, ''Moonlight Syndrome''. Securing a publisher in ASCII Entertainment, Grasshopper released its first video game, ''[[The Silver Case]]'', on October 8, 1999.

''The Silver Case'' carried over some trademarks from the ''[[Twilight Syndrome]]'' series, as well as establishing several new ones which continue to echo through the games Grasshopper releases today. ''The Silver Case'' itself received spiritual sequels in the form of ''[[Flower, Sun, and Rain]]'' and ''[[killer7]]'', with all three games collectively forming a body of work dubbed by players as [[Kill the Past]]. ''killer7'' brought significant attention to Grasshopper and SUDA51 in 2005, as its affiliation with Capcom and [[Shinji Mikami]] garnered extensive media coverage including making the cover story for [[Killer7 World Exclusive: Intrigue, Paranoia and a Whole Lot of Guns|the April 2005 issue]] of ''Nintendo Power''. While not commercially successful, the game exposed audiences outside Japan to Grasshopper for the first time, and is believed by many to be SUDA51's ''magnum opus''.

==Influences==
Franz Kafka is among SUDA51's favorite authors. His favorite film is ''Paris, Texas'', in which the lead character Travis Henderson is believed to have inspired the names of two SUDA51 characters – [[Travis Bell]] and [[Travis Touchdown]]. His favorite video game is said to be ''Another World''.

SUDA51's passion for wrestling was instrumental in his hiring at Human Entertainment, where he began his career in video games. SUDA51 somewhat famously donned a luchador mask at ''killer7'' promotional events and could also be seen wearing one in the ''No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle'' trailer. Wrestling plays various roles in several of SUDA51's works, particularly his ''Super Fire Prowrestling'' games and ''No More Heroes''.

}}{{Italic title}}'''''Romeo is a Dead Man''''' (ロミオ・イズ・ア・デッドマン) is a 2026 action-adventure game developed by [[Grasshopper Manufacture]]. It released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows. It is directed by [[Ren Yamazaki]], and [[Goichi Suda]] , written by the duo, with additional scenario by Daisuke Koyama, and [[Masahi Ooka]]. The game follows [[Romeo Stargazer]], a man saved from death by a time paradox, which breaks the fabric of space-time. Romeo then becomes the FBI Space-Time special agent "Dead Man".

==Gameplay==
''Romeo is a Dead Man'' is a hack and slash and third-person shooter game. The player controls Romeo, who swaps between various guns and swords to fight hordes of enemies, taking place across the real world and subspace.

[[Romeo Stargazer]] is fatally wounded by a monster, and is saved from death by the [[Dead Gear Life Support System]], a device created by his scientist grandfather [[Benjamin Stargazer]]. The device keeps Romeo on the edge of life and death by causing a time paradox, which shatters the space-time continuum.

==Development==
Grasshopper Manufacture was acquired by NetEase Games in May 2021, during ongoing development of ''[[No More Heroes III]]''. Goichi Suda presented three projects to NetEase, and they replied that he could choose whichever project he wanted. As a result, development of ''Romeo is a Dead Man'' officially began in January 2022 under the working title ''Project Deadburgh''. It was decided that the game would be an entirely original IP, rather than a sequel. Suda's goal was to expand the action gameplay of ''[[Travis Strikes Again]]'' and ''No More Heroes III'' to a larger scale. The game's development included the construction of a physical diorama of the game's world which could then be incorporated into the game through 3D scanning. The game was properly revealed with a trailer in Sony's June 2025 ''State of Play'' presentation.

==Trivia==
*On Steam, the game is internally listed with the codename "Sevenger", named after a monster-fighting robot originally appearing in ''Ultraman Leo''.

07 black out

{{Case
|title=black out
|image=
|story=[[Correctness]]
|date=November 11th, 2005
|location=Area A4 Construction Site Various
|endcard=Academic
|moon=Green
}}'''#07 black out''' is the eighth chapter of the [[Correctness]] story of ''[[The 25th Ward: The Silver Case]]'' and the twentieth and final chapter of the game as a whole.
==Interpretation==
The main theme of this chapter is taking control of your destiny. Whereas in the prior chapters, the player is pressing directions to walk through, this chapter has no walking. Instead, the interactive part of this chapter is scrolling through a wheel, to choose one of a hundred endings. The wheel is made from Kosuke Kurumizawa, whom has been controlling everything behind the scenes. Uehara goes through all 100 endings, choosing at his own free will, and becomes NT Kamui, shaped by his experiences across time, most significantly Travis Strikes Again.

==Description==

==Summary==
'''November 11th, 2005, 10:00pm''' 

<center>'''Dead Souls'''</center>

==Trivia==
*black out was not featured in the original release of ''The 25th Ward'', and was one of the chapters added in the 2018 remake.
*black out is the only chapter to feature the ability to fast forward text. However, this only seems to be available in [[The Silver 2425]].

TheSilverlarp1999:

Garcian Smith is a character in Killer7. He is the protagonist of the game, the dominant personality of the Killer7.
==Appearance and Personality==
Garcian wears suits throughout the game. Unlike the other members of the Smith Syndicate, Garcian rarely changes his outfit, mostly wearing a regular white blazer and pants, a purple shirt, and a yellow tie. His only outfit change is towards the end of the game, where he is wearing a yellow suit, and is a 13 year old. This appearance matches that of Step Sding, and, along with Edo claiming to recognise Garcian, implies there is a connection.
Garcian is shown to be incapable of killing. After every character death, Garcian angrily claims to be a cleaner. He is so passionate about his washing business due to his guilt of killing multiple people in his mental breakdown, and to relate to the player, who is most likely angry that they died.
