Mega Man Battle Network/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

* [[Mega Manning]]: Unlike his namesake, he only got new abilities himself by defeating regular enemies or just buying battle chips for the first few games. Then came Style Change, Double Soul, and Cross.

* [[Messianic Archetype]]: It helps that he and Net belong to the Net ''Saviors'' in Axess on.

* [[One Way Visor]]: [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100802172060/megaman/images/6/68/Megamansoul_proto2.jpg Proto Soul] has one, as does [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100802172421/megaman/images/5/52/Megamansoul_search2.jpg Search Soul], [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090907172304/megaman/images/7/7e/GyroSoul.jpg Gyro Soul], [http://images.wikia.com/megaman/images/7/76/KnightSoul.jpg Knight Soul] and [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090907172429/megaman/images/5/52/MeddySoul.jpg Meddy Soul].

* [[One-Way Visor]]: [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100802172060/megaman/images/6/68/Megamansoul_proto2.jpg Proto Soul] has one, as does [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100802172421/megaman/images/5/52/Megamansoul_search2.jpg Search Soul], [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090907172304/megaman/images/7/7e/GyroSoul.jpg Gyro Soul], [http://images.wikia.com/megaman/images/7/76/KnightSoul.jpg Knight Soul] and [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090907172429/megaman/images/5/52/MeddySoul.jpg Meddy Soul].

* [[Player Character]]: For the internet world and in combat.

* [[The Power of Friendship]]: The only reason why Mega Man is able to make use of his Soul and Cross transformations.

Line 59:

* [[Determinator]]: {{spoiler|Endured a ridiculous amount of radiation in the second game to defeat Gospel and offer its leader a chance at redemption.}}

* [[Heavy Sleeper]]

* [[Hot Blooded]]: Moreso in the anime.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Moreso in the anime.

* [[Idiot Hero]]

* [[Kid Hero]]

Line 168:

* [[The Spock]]

* [[The Stoic]]

** [[Not So Stoic]]: In the [[Manga]] he's a bit more hotheaded, prone to violent outbursts during comedic moments, particularly towards Lan and [[Bratty Half Pint|Sean]], especially when Sean is being annoying and/or unhelpful.

** [[Not So Stoic]]: In the [[Manga]] he's a bit more hotheaded, prone to violent outbursts during comedic moments, particularly towards Lan and [[Bratty Half-Pint|Sean]], especially when Sean is being annoying and/or unhelpful.

* [[Teen Genius]]: More like a preteen genius.

* [[Tsundere]]: [[Ho Yay|Some of his behavior towards Lan]] in the manga can be interpreted this way.

Line 317:

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Is a competent teacher and asskicker.

* [[Not What I Signed On For]]: {{spoiler|After losing to Mega Man at the Undernet 2 area, his comrades (or rather, soon-to-be-ex-comrades) reveal their intention to break away from WWW and join up with their benefactor. Joe Mach refuses, and states that he only agreed to help them so they'd deliver the Cybeast back to WWW, and makes it very clear that he did not intend to defect from WWW.}}

* [[Shout Out]]: To ''[[Speed Racer]]''--just look at his Japanese name.

* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[Speed Racer]]''--just look at his Japanese name.

=== Blackbeard ''(Captain Kurohige)'' ===

Line 365:

* [[Colonel Badass]]: Literally. Even gets a battle chip labeled "Colonel's Army" to emphasize this.

* [[Chest Insignia]]: A thin black outline of a minus sign against a gray background. There are two black vertical bars attached to the top end and the bottom end as well.

* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh Hour Superpower]]: His complete form with Iris is implied to be on or nearly the same level as Hub.bat Megaman.exe, demonstrated when he completely annihilates the Cybeast that took over Megaman in one blow without harming Megaman himself.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: His complete form with Iris is implied to be on or nearly the same level as Hub.bat Megaman.exe, demonstrated when he completely annihilates the Cybeast that took over Megaman in one blow without harming Megaman himself.}}

* [[The Dragon]]: With Baryl in the sixth game.

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: With Iris at the end of the sixth game.}}

* [[My Master Right or Wrong]]: Variation. {{spoiler|He used to be far more emotional and more capable of conscience until that part of himself was spun off into a separate being called Iris.EXE.}}

* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: Variation. {{spoiler|He used to be far more emotional and more capable of conscience until that part of himself was spun off into a separate being called Iris.EXE.}}

== Net Agents ==

Line 465:

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: He insists on being called "Meijin" and not "Meijin-[[Japanese Honorifics|san]]", and always says "san wa iranai" (roughly "no need for the -san") whenever he gets called "Meijin-san". Once, he underscores this by pointing out he isn't even over thirty, yet.

** The dub changes this to an aversion to being called "Mr.", which is a fairly direct translation.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: With another [[Creator Cameo]] -- the character of Soul Battler Takeshi. Takeshi, who [[Easter Egg|only appears]] in certain message boards in the last few games (and who is the reason for all the "Soul" naming in ''6''), is the Battle Network incarnation of a much-beloved EXE tournament host whose [[Hot Blooded]]-ness is often juxtaposed with the cool, collected Mr. Famous. [http://kobun20.interordi.com/2011/03/30/who-is-soul-battler-takeshi/ More information on Takeshi, here].

=== Tory Froid ''(Tohru Hikawa)'' ===

Line 506:

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Only in the anime, as it turns out that he never truly planned to hurt anyone, and wanted to merely scare them into taking better care of nature. By the end of the episode, he has betrayed Gospel and leaves, but not before saying goodbye to Sal.

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: At least in terms of the game's timeline. He sends Lan a thank you letter for stopping the infected QuickMan.EXE before he becomes an enemy in MMBN2.

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: At least in terms of the game's timeline. He sends Lan a thank you letter for stopping the infected QuickMan.EXE before he becomes an enemy in MMBN2.

* [[Informed Ability]]: As Chaud said, his IQ of 160 didn't do him much good...

Line 526:

=== KnightMan.EXE ===

{{quote| Loyal retainer of Princess Pride, and saddled with a rather admirable case of [[My Master Right or Wrong]].}}

{{quote| Loyal retainer of Princess Pride, and saddled with a rather admirable case of [[My Master, Right or Wrong]].}}

* [[Gentle Giant]]: When not in combat, he's obviously a [[Nice Guy]] despite his imposing stature.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: He worked with Gospel in MMBN2, but only because his Princess did. In the fifth game, he joins Team Colonel alongside the Princess.

* [[Mighty Glacier]]

* [[My Master Right or Wrong]]: Despite claiming to have no ability to question his orders, he clearly had moral problems with being on the villainous team in the second game, but elected to remain loyal to his mistress. He joins Team Colonel by the same logic, though he joins the team rather willingly.

* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: Despite claiming to have no ability to question his orders, he clearly had moral problems with being on the villainous team in the second game, but elected to remain loyal to his mistress. He joins Team Colonel by the same logic, though he joins the team rather willingly.

=== Gauss Magnus ''(Gauss Magnets)'' ===

Line 546:

* [[Battle Butler]]: Acts this way to both Gauss and Tesla.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: A reluctant one in the fifth game, though he remains loyal because Tesla explicitly orders him to be, hence he joins Team Protoman alongside her.

* [[My Master Right or Wrong]]: Will do what Gauss or Tesla order, good or ill, without complaint, even if it means [[Teeth Clenched Teamwork]] with Mega Man as a member of Team Proto Man.

* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: Will do what Gauss or Tesla order, good or ill, without complaint, even if it means [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]] with Mega Man as a member of Team Proto Man.

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Electric elemental due to his magnetism theme.

* [[The Brute]] -> [[The Big Guy]]

Line 555:

** And after you defeat said Gospel agent, he vanishes from the plane.

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Or rather, foster parents.

* [[Bratty Half Pint]] / [[Insufferable Genius]]: His Manga characterization. It really grinds on Chaud's nerves.

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]] / [[Insufferable Genius]]: His Manga characterization. It really grinds on Chaud's nerves.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: His backstory.

* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]

* [[Light Is Not Good]]

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Some of her attacks are electricity-based.

* [[Treacherous Advisor]]: She is unconditionally loyal to Duo, but she's actively trying to sway him into deciding that humans are not worthy to live.

Line 661:

** [[Badass Abnormal]]: Was explicitly designed to be a [[Super Navi]].

** [[Badass Cape]]

*** [[All Encompassing Mantle]]

*** [[All-Encompassing Mantle]]

* [[Blood Knight]]: Especially in the Manga

* [[Bonus Boss]]: In every single game.
