Mega Man Megamix/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Non Sequitur Scene: The Soccer and most of the one-page strips compared to the main plot. Of course, it turns out that some of the comedic elements there, like Auto's tendency towards mad science and Duo's Knight Templar status are traits they have in the main story and effectively foreshadowing. When Duo shows up in Gigamix, it is definitely not played for laughs. The antics of the part-timers are also a subversion, as they act that way even in serious storylines.
  • Complete Monster: Wily waffles between this and Affably Evil depending on the...hour. The Stardroids are a much, much straighter example.
  • Ho Yay: In addition to the Roll/Kalinka Les Yay, one of the short comics shows Toadman (a Cossackbot) hibernating with Snakeman (a Wilybot). In character profiles from one of the games, there were some implications that Snakeman was Toadman's Stalker with a Crush, so this may be another case of Shown Their Work. There's also a scene in Battle and Chase that may be a little more than just Sempai-Kohai: the other characters find the whole thing very awkward...
  • Moral Event Horizon: Blues seems to have gone over this when he threatens to shoot Kalinka Cossack. It turns out it's a Batman Gambit to prevent Rock from dying, and probably the Cossackbots caught in the crossfire too, and Shadowman assassinating Rock. It only worked because they thought he'd really do it. Everyone is saved, except for Copy Mega-Man.
    • In Shadow Man's opinion, Blues' actions during The Greatest Enemy In History were far over the line. After Shadow Man, whose main trait until this point was loyalty to Dr. Wily's orders (he is a Ninja, after all), went against his orders to use the confusion of Roll telling both Mega-Men to stop fighting to rescue Copy Mega-Man and give him a fairly heartwarming talk about how he could become his own person with his own life, realizing that the whole thing was a Shoot the Shaggy Dog because Blues had set him up to commit suicide via Heroic Sacrifice was unforgivable.
  • Tear Jerker: Several.
    • In the third chapter, Metal Heart, Wily uses a toy robot as the brain of his new Yellow Devil, and it quickly goes on a rampage. Turns out it only wants to reach its mother, the computer that ran the factory it was originally created in. Just when it seems its going to achieve that goal, Shadow Man tosses a shuriken through it. And then it turns into a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
    • Skull Man, both when it's revealed that the cause for his rampage is due to being sealed away and not being treated like a person like his brothers, and then again when he dies, surrounded by and finally accepted by his family.
