I'm actually surprised people hadn't noticed the names before... I think that was one of the first things I picked up about Rockman/Megaman. Well, actually it took me a little longer to realize Rush was a musical term of some sort. I thought they just meant he was fast or something....

I found out the meanings of the prefixes of their names:

Proto-means "first". Language of origin-Greek
Mega-means "great". Language of origin-Greek

Something I wanted to ask. Sorry that this referes to EXE but i'd figure what better place to ask.

Ok pretty much everyone knows about the whole Rythem and Blues joke in volume 7 of the manga. I didn't think to much about it but then I saw it on these plates (Not the joke just the words) then it made me wonder where does the whole Rythem and Blues thing come from???

It's what "R&B" stands for. Rhythm & Blues is virtually the same kind of pun as Rock & Roll.
But if you're really in the mood for a history lesson... http://www.duvigneaud.net/page5_p2.html

Couldn't Duo be a play on Duet? Just a thought that crossed my mind. And if no one mentioned it yet, Cossack is a russian dance.

No, it's not obvious. Zero "Omega" was a rumor that originated from a fansite owner that decided to give Zero a last name for the purpose of fanfiction. Someone got hold of that, and spread it around during the days when 'people that knew Japanese' were few and far in between, so the rumor became popular and many people stuck with it.

Another rumor began the same way when someone claimed X's name was Yakasa, which was a minstranslation from someone that read the way a Japanese artist/writer spelt the english pronounciation of 'X'. For a long time many fans did believe Yakasa was X's name till recent dates when the rumor was cleared.

The name Omega was started by a fanfiction writer, just like other rumors that spread around years ago. The few people that understood Japanese -or half understood in some cases- as well as the scarce source material avaible in the public light back then made those rumors become nearly a fact by many fans that to this day keep up with said rumors. I know a few people that still call X 'Yakasa' just because they grew up with it.

Plus... why would Zero be listed on the TV Tome page for MegaMan anyway? Zero never makes an appearance in that show. I mean... they even have Maylu's voice actress listed in the cast there. That MegaMan page at TV Tome (now TV.com) is extremely inaccurate...

That's weird, cause I remember gamefaqs saying along time ago that Copy X's name was Omega, That's obviously wrong. Anyone else notice...Weil and Ciel? Where'd those come from? I don't even have the slightest clue how to pronounce them.

**Plantman** · Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2005 3:28 pm Post subject:

Ciel is Sky in french, I am not sure about Weil, since the original name is Vile/Bile.

The terms 'Omega' are just fan names. Since people stopped with the no sense "Zero Omega" They decided to call Copy X "Omega" Because someone just...called him it...I know the term Omega originated from the now deceased "Megaman Universe" forums, since I was around way back when. Razz

Yeah... I'm not sure where the Omega name for Copy X came from either, though I will admit that I used to use it as well. But... isn't there a character named Omega in Zero 3? I'm not that into the MMZ series, but I coulda swore I heard it...
