Ommitted characters, navis, etc (possible spoilers)

Just wondering - are there any things about the game-to-anime transmission that've bothered you, or that you've wished were kept as originally written? I was reading through the site's summaries, and these are what I came up with:

- Hotdog Girl (from BN4 RSE): Though her relationship with Hinoken didn't end happily, it was cute anyway. And nice to see Hinoken behaving more heroically than usual. I was really disappointed that her scenario didn't make it into the anime.

- Serenade: I find it somewhat incomprehensible that she's been left out, actually. Sure, she was a secret boss in BN3, but she was a cool one. And her whole attitude is refreshingly novel for a top-tier navi.

- Metalman and Tamako: Okay, they've been in the anime, but only for two episodes. And not very good episodes, either. Seems to me they could have done a lot more with them as characters. Metalman I <3.

- Magnetman and Tesla: I thought their relationship was really quite sweet in BN5, and it endeared their characters to me, even though I didn't like their designs. I'm not really sure why the anime decided to mess with it... If you can have Napalmman changing sides, why not Magnetman?

- No fighting Roll: I just thought the anime could've done a lot more with Rockman's reluctance to fight Roll than the game. As it was, I found Roll's cyber-stalker hilarious, and the scenario was one of BN4's saving graces, IMHO. It's odd that this was ommitted, especially since the anime makes much more of Rock and Roll's relationship than the games.

- Solar Boy Django: Copyright issues, I guess. But it was really quite funny how the Undernet citizens were all so enamoured of him.

I suppose it's worthless to argue the Serenade gender point.

There is one and only one game -> anime point that I was always furious about never appearing, and that is Saito. Rockman's existance (and the background plot of the first three games) is BASED on him, yet they just threw that storyline out the window and went with other stuff for the anime...

A lot of people believe that it will surface in Beast, but I don't think it's feasible with the direction the anime's gone up until now. If it does get thrown in, it will probably enmesh very well with the past they've created for Rock, Netto and Yuuichirou in the first three seasons.

Maybe having that hotdog lady coming in would be nice, but maybe as Match's sister/cousin. Due to..... ovbious reasons. *points to sig* Laughing

But seeing Django, Otenko, and Serenade would be nice! And Atsuki and Terry too! :]

I think Serenade should appear as a Zoan Navi or an entity of some sort somewhere in Beast, I mena, they did it with punk & gateman didnt they?

Me personally, I just want Nenji in Beast.

'nuff said.

Saito would be nice though, maybe as a tie-back to the Access finale?

I have to agree with Izu here--while the concept of Saito I believe to be essential to the knowledge of the fandom of the games, putting him in now would probably be poorly executed at best. Having Saito introduced in say...after Rock was deleted in the first arc of EXE, would make things a LOT clearer. It would have explained a lot of innate possibilities, and would probably explain why Netto was so quick to CF in Axess.

Forte's background. I hated that he was just the reborn version of Pharaohman. And that they didnt put ForteGS in the anime.

Shun, why o why did they replaced him with a robot =(

Anetta not having plantman. They could have temporarely gave her A.Plantman, but no, they give him to a boy who hates vegetables.

Saito, same reason as above users.
But since Beyondard(sp?) has people parralel to our own, there might be a netto&rockman there as well, in which in that alternate world, rock was saito.

I think that Beyondard opens up a lot of opportunities to include many scenarios that were originally not thought possible. In fact, I would be quite delighted to see Alternate Netto and Saito, or even better [spoil:63f6756d2f]it may turn out that Netto becomes RockMan and Saito is his Op![/spoil:63f6756d2f]

At the moment, however, I'm just glad that Dingo/TomahawkMan are getting lots of screentime... :D

Number 1 disaponitment of lack of character, like Izu and Midnight, Saito. In the games Saito is a huge part of the story and was the more emotional part and I thought it was a given that it would be included in the anime. Guess I was wrong.

And while I know she wasn't omitted, I'd like to see more of Pride and Knightman during Beast. I'd also like to see the old WWW (yeah right). Maybe they'll be Zoanoroids.

I wish that Serenade would pop up, controlling the real (not Zoan) Yamatoman and Darkman. Ya know as an ally.

I would normally say Gateman but Beast went ahead and fulfilled that wish. :DDD

I still want Saito and Serenade very badly though. T_T Ahh.

And uhmn.....Saito Style Rockman. The manga made it unrelated to the brother issues, so I'm sure the anime could work it in SOMEHOW.

Yeah, I too wish for Saito. You'd think it would just be logical to have it in there...

I'm with most all of you on Saito. Major plot element for the games, and the sad thing is, they don't even care! And having Serenade in there would settle the gender issue once and for all.

**Sketch** · Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 3:15 pm Post subject:

I agree fully on Saito....for the same reasons. XD

The Serenade Gender Issue has already been figured out. .-. He's both.

Kendouman I guess...he's the last Meijin's navis to be in the Anime.

I hate the fact that they left out so many things when they dubbed Rockman. Some of the things they made characters say made no sense whatsoever.
I'd love to see Serenade appear in the anime one day. Maybe she will in Beast, I'm hoping. But only time will tell. :P

Hub/Saito of course!

He gave Megaman AND Lan some decent backstory, and the bond between the two helped them beat WWW and Gospel by allowing them to go full synch, even though the term Full Synchro was not used until EXE3.

Sadly, that bond was almost completely thrown out in 4, Lan and Megaman going Full Synch at the end just for the hell of it (well, for saving the world, but it was still sorta pointless). Fortunatly, we actually saw Hub in 5, so that made up for it.

Yeah, without Hub, Megaman's just an ordinary navi that manages to win through body changes and an Ultimate Program.

First of all I'd just like t say that to Capcom's credit, they couldn't make the anime's storyline exactly like the games. Part of the fun of watching the anime is to see how a character differs from its game counterpart.

However I'm going to have to agree with most people on the fact that I can't believe they got rid of the Saito plot twist. It was the main thing that made the Rockman games' storyline different and they completely scraped it in the anime series. The same goes for Forte's background, another nice plot element they ditched. And what about the ever-annoying Bubbleman who I really wish had been a one-episode navi. Nice going there, Capcom.

Of course there are some things in the anime that I think should be in the games. Take Meijin for instance. He was a cool character in the anime, but he hardly had a role in the games. Another good example is Slur. I was so happy to see a female navi who wasn’t really cutesy like Roll or Medi.

And speaking of female navis, why haven’t they put Mary and Ring in the anime yet? I’ve always wondered what their characters would be like if they were.

As for Serenade, I have a theory about her possible role in Beast. [spoil:67ced5d3f5]What if Serenade is actually Trill, and when she first went through the tear between worlds, she reset back into a little baby. I mean think about it, they sort of look similar, and I don’t remember Trill ever having an established gender.[/spoil:67ced5d3f5]

I'd like to point out the obvious, but Serenade is neither a he or a she. It's been confirmed by Meijin (the REAL one) that it is both. So... Serenade is an... it.

I think it's best not to keep alot of scenarios the same. it kinda takes away from the different experiences from the manga, anime, and games.

I heard somewhere that [spoil:c02079b037]Ring likes Blues[/spoil:c02079b037]. XD I think it's kind of funny.

Slur was awesome. I didn't really like how Roll and Medi were cutesy looking and all.
