though honestly I really just hope we're done with no more heroes after this and Suda will go back to making interesting stuff again (he clearly proved that he can still write in his silver case / 25th ward style with the new chapters he wrote for those games)
so its disapprove a theory which is someone else actually wrote Kill The Past story & Suda takes all the credits? i remember i read somewhere a thread in old forum.
Masahi Ooka wrote all the placebo chapters in both TSC and the 25th ward, he also wrote the guidebook in Flower, Sun and Rain and some parts of Hand in Killer7.
Masahiro Yuki also wrote the matchmaker arc in the 25th ward. (Though I don't know about him, he's also the guy who wrote lollipop chainsaw lol.)
I guess I should have included ooka as well, he also wrote new stuff recently, one chapter for each TSC and 25w and the badman storyline in TSA (which felt much closer to classic ghm games than anything else in that game.)
He is also able to seamlessly write stuff in the TSC style.
Anyway in regards to what you said, Masahi Ooka always handled more of the worldbuilding than Suda did. I think the rumor originated from that interview where Suda admitted that he kept trying to give out parts of the Killer7 script to staffers for them to write lol. But Shinji Mikami didn't want him to and he called him out.
Either way if he can write chapters for older games and integrate them seamlessly into the storyline, I would say he has definetly proven he can still write in the same style if he wants to. So does masahi ooka which is why while everyone else is cheering for no more heroes 3, I'm actually way more interested in a 26th ward game (might come in 2025) or in the flower sun and rain remake
