Opinion on Forte/Bass *Might contain Spoilers*

Anime Forte background sucks and there would have been alot of plot devolpent if forte stuck with his game background.

SonicNigma212 · Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2005 11:23 am Post subject: Good. This is good.

By the way, that "Proto" that you've just mentioned wouldn't be the Japanesse name for the final boss Alpha in MegaMan Battle Network 3 would it, Sweetsuzie? 'Cause I happen to agree that Alpha was really the cause for the major damage that the officials in the game thought Forte/Bass did back then. The Black Shadow really hated the humans because he used to trust them and treat them like family and now they turned on him and attacked as if he were a threat. How would you feel if the people that you trust turned against you? I bet that it would be the same result as with Forte. You would also be beyond reason and the only way that people could talk to you is by knocking some sense into you until you're tired enough for them to start talking. You really got to feel sorry for him. That's one of the many ideas that I have for one of my stories that would have him in it. Well, Later!

Well, all I can hope is that Anime Forte will make some more appearences in which he fights a lot and uses the attacks he didnt used yet like: Air Bust, Earth Breaker, Gospel Cannon, Gospel Breath.

He did use Earth Breaker in the fight against Slur. Granted it didn't do anything nor look impressive but he did use it.

I though he only used Dark Blade and Darkness Overload?
**watches the episode again**

Didnt noticed since it looks different than the game version Razz

LOL!Yep I didn't say that but I agree...Alpha cuased a lot of problems for Forte,but in a way it was also his fault since he was the usaul suppect ever since he did a lot of mischief that irritated many people in the lab.(talking about Manga vol.6) Laughing

My opinion on Forte is that of most people on here. The anime version was not done justice. He gets defeated by SLUR! This completely destroys his character history. He is supposivly an uber strong warrior who only Rockman can defeat. Rock gets his ass handed, and this little girl comes up and beats him. Serenade is a little more reasonably as it shows that blind anger will not be able to defeat love( a stupid concept IMO). In conclusion, forte shouldnt be as weak as the manga and game, and anime portray him as. Now lets all kill slur.

Weee yes let kill it*note I said it since its gender is not confirmed but I think its a he* :grr:
Well as much as I like the uber navi he's anime version suxs its like he was there just to please the fangirls and boys like myself which I find insulting cuz I want him to actually do stuff like in Stream 2. but well we all know what he mostly does so far....-_-;

Lets see now.

It has a feminine face, a skirt. Uses feminine attacks, and guess what?? People in this world like to use female characters to defeat uber powerful male characters in a world of increasing feminism, even though it makes no freaking sense. I think that there is a 90% chance that Slur is a female.

All of the above is my opinion, and was not intended to insult anyone. In the case that it does and you must be a wuss about it, please feel free to tell a mod to edit it/remove it.

I don't exacly follow the manga but didn't Forte meet serenade in the undernet? If so do you think that Rockman will get a mission in the undernet and meet bass( I think he would be there because in stream #2 it looked like he was sent to the undernet by slur) and Serenade will be introduced.
Just my opignon I dought it but it could happen.

I never even thought there was confusion over Slur. She's obviously female. Anyway, Forte is a dumbass in the anime mainly for reasons already stated.

Slur's "obviously" female... just like Serenade was "obviously" female? Or Foxtar from RMZ was "obviously" female? How about how X8's Lumine was "obviously" female? Face it: Capcom has a track record for making blatantly feminine characters male. With this kind of the thing, the only proof we can safely go by is what the other characters refer to Slur as, and not mere assumption.

I lean towards the fact that both Serenade and Slur are females. Slur sounds like a woman, where as in Neo WWW Narcy Hide looks very femmine but is infact a male. *shrug* But to each his own I suppose. If people want to say that they are males or females, thats fine.

I wish Serenade was in the anime. T_T

Anyways back to Foooorteee ^_^

I was highly disapointed in the anime with Forte. I loved his back story from the games (and manga since it is the same I believe). I was so mad when I found out he and Gospel came from Pharaohman in the anime >_< How lame! He doesn't even get all that much screentime Sad

..and his voice sounds funny o_o;. Maybe thats because he isn't some raving pyscho anymore. *shrug*

Is not freaky. Navis in theory have no gender. As the 'gender' is often determined by sexual organs, which the navis really don't have, as they don't reproduce the way humans do. All they have is an apparent gender given through appearance. You could say Serenade was conceived to be a Navi equivalent of deities that have the beauty, gentleness and compassion of a female, with the strenght, power and wisdom of a male. Or what are the stereotypical attributes of each gender anyway.

In appearance it looks like neither, its face gives away no details, the face is delicate enough to look like a young boy or a beautiful girl, but the chest and the 'hip shape' are more 'manly' in structure than a female within the EXE context.

Back on topic, Forte's existance in the anime seemed to obey simply to shoving the character there for the sake of adding him. While being the 'reincarnation' of Pharaohman could have been handled in more interesting ways, his motives are relatively dull. He has nothing really to back up his actions other than Pharaohman's superiority complex.

It would have been interesting to add the anime/manga background as an arc in the anime. But I have to admit I'm not sure if Forte's origin was already in the anime by the time the 3rd game was released.
