Line 8:
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:
** Much like [[Street Fighter|Charlie]], Giro has amassed a sizable fanbase despite being dead.
** The [[Fandom]] has gradually taken quite the liking to Prometheus and Pandora. And if anything, when they were discovered to be {{spoiler|[[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] and then subsequently ''owned'' by Albert (in the span of five minutes or so, no less),}} their popularity among the fandom hit critical mass. {{spoiler|''That'' was Albert's [[Moral Event Horizon]].}}* [[Fridge Brilliance]]/[[Fridge Horror]]: Why does the Pseudoroids have extra eyes? {{spoiler|Likely a property of [[Artifact of Doom|Model W]], and considering it is very much a [[Eldritch Abomination]] thematically, and that Humans and Reploids are and consider each other the same now the logical conclusion on exactly [[Body Horror|how this would be seen as by the people inside the setting,]] Add in the dialogs the Pseudoroids have and you realize that at least some (like Purprill) of them were around at least in some form before gaining the power of whatever model they are infused with, not to mention their absolute devotion and belief to Model W you realize that they are basically mutilated cultists.}}
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: The tagline from this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_6QGlvHNP8&feature=related Japanese promotional trailer] ("When fate must be stood up to... people shall Rock On") really explains the [[Screw Destiny]] theme of the series, and the Biometal's power to shape the Biomatch's destiny, as elaborated by Ciel.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Model ZX's rolling slash, which can pass the [[Mercy Invincibility]] and deal continuous damage as Vent/Aile's still spinning. And after that, you can still follow up with your standard triple slash.
** Model P's kunai spam is murder against enemies without [[Mercy Invincibility]]. Wipes out pretty much everything in seconds.
** Model HX's tornado attack, which can hit multiple times and also can pass [[Mercy Invincibility]] if the tornado hits the weak point. Try to do it with a fire boss: [[Elemental Rock
*** The downside, though, is that you'll get Lv 1 Victory, so you'd better do that in the boss rush. Unfortunately, it was later [[Nerf|nerfed]] ''ZXA'', the attack instead generating 2 tornadoes that fly forward and hit once.
** Chronoforce's [[Bullet Time|Time Bomb.]] Its only downside is that it uses much weapon energy.
Line 18:
** Master Albert's goal: [[Social Darwinist|exterminating the whole population, leaving the "worthy" ones alive to prosper,]] using a superweapon called [[Ouroboros]]. He's seen to be a highly-capable [[Magnificent Bastard]] who has a strong [[A God Am I|god complex]], to boot. Now try to compare that to another [[Resident Evil 5 (Video Game)|Albert]]. <ref>Keep in mind that ''ZXA'' precedes ''RE5'' by a margin of about 2 years.</ref>
** Might be intentional on the creators' part: ''Advent'' featured an unlockable minigame, ''Mega Man a'', all in 8-bit, styled after the original series of games. A few months later, ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]] 9'' was released, in all its [[Retraux]] glory.
* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]: Arguably, but a good portion of ''ZX'' fans are Just Here For [[Transformation Trinket|Biometals]]. More specifically, "Just Here For Playing As The Favorite Characters Who Come Back As Pieces Of Metal That You Can Use To Change Into Said Favorite Characters." <ref>(it makes sense, actually, especially for [[Infinity
** Not to mention the [[Fusion Dance|Double Megamerge]] system, which lets you transform with two Biometals. As a result, many fans used it to mix their 2 favorite models into one character.<ref>[http://shadowfox777.deviantart.com/art/Double-Megamerge-AX-Vent-167780913 These] [http://shanna-the-hedgehog.deviantart.com/art/WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY-108347483 are] [[Overly Long Gag|just a few examples.]]</ref>
* [[Love to Hate]]: Prometheus and Pandora.
Line 44:
** [[All There in the Manual|According to the manual]], [[Camp Gay|Rospark]] is gay due to faulty circuitry. Keep in mind that not too long ago, homosexuality was academically considered a mental illness.
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Struck everyone who was paying attention to ''Advent'' previews with respect to Atlas and Tethys (see [[Tomboyish Name]] for one of the reasons). The first images of the enemy Mega Men showed them in armored form, so fans had no clue that Atlas was a "she" and Thetis was a "he." It did not help that their Japanese names (Atlas remained unchanged, while Thetis was Tethys) were that of a Titan and Titaness, respectively. Likewise, their Biometals were a man and a woman. Thankfully, this was rectified by gameplay videos and subsequent artwork, but the [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]] of "Reverse Trap" and "Trap" would stick.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: The respective protagonist literally calls the Enemy Mega Men out for [[Idiot Ball|their simple-minded persistence in continuing the Game of Destiny]], even with Master Albert's defeat looming over the horizon.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Prometheus and Pandora.[[Dark and Troubled Past|Their childhood was, to say the least, horrible]] <ref>They had to suffer through centuries of anguish from Master Albert, including being forcibly megamerged with Model W, and are also strongly implied to only be having other Mega Men participate in the Game of Destiny and likewise resulting in several casualties in the hundreds of thousands range, only because Albert literally forced them to due to a small lifespan</ref> and they want revenge for their suffering. They don't quite suceed (with Albert being a [[Magnificent Bastard]] and all), and end up as Albert's [[Unwitting Pawn|Unwitting Pawns]]. [[Alas, Poor Villain|Even Grey and Ashe feel pity for them]], [[Save the Villain|and would have tried to save them if they had the chance.]]
** [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Even so, they held nothing but contempt for the rest of the world, and while their actions ''do'' [[Stealth Mentor|guide the heroes toward defeating Serpent and Albert]], there was no kindness in their cruel actions. [[
* [[Woolseyism]]: "Live Metal" to "Biometal"; "Falseroid" to "Pseudoroid"; the aforementioned [[Fun With Acronyms|Fun Acronyms]] and [[Narm Charm|Charming Narm]]; "Girouette" gains the nickname "Giro"; "Helios" to the much-more-sensible-for-an-air-elemental "Aeolus"; "Serpent Company" to "Slither Inc."; a few boss names as well (although one simply goes from "Condorrock the Vulturoid" to "Vulturon the Condoroid"...).
