Dead Rising 3
Determination: Implied — Blasphemy 2
All seven bosses are the seven deadly sins, and the boss count was cut to fit the scheme.
Dead Rising 3 has the fewest bosses in the series, and the reason is doctrinal: there are exactly seven, one for each of the Christian seven deadly sins. Lust is Dylan Fuentes, fought in a dungeon behind a pornography store with a flamethrower built in the shape of male genitalia; Gluttony is Darlene, Greed is Albert, Sloth is Teddy, Wrath is Zhi, Envy is Kenny and Pride is Jherii. They are written as working in concert. The scheme is a design frame rather than a religious argument — the game says nothing about sin as a concept and the player simply kills them — but the taxonomy is specifically Christian and the whole roster was shaped around it, which is why this sits at implied rather than ambient.
