What's the story with Rush? Could anyone explain?

[Jwizzman]

so...what's up with Rush, why can he come to the real world?
I know he can summon virusses in the digital world but the rest is pretty vague to me

[Sasuke.EXE V2]

In the second season of the original show, Rush gained the ability to come into the real world during the episode in which a virus broke out which turned all Navis it came across into nekos (I could be wrong on it transforming every navi, as I have not really seen this episode). This led to a spoof of Godzilla in the sense that the Neko virus also founds itself in the real world, and it was as tall as Godzilla. after that, they just decided to have Rush keep the ability to come into the real world.

I thought it was just a random occurance, that something in Rush's code just happened to change unexpectedly and inexplicably that allowed him to physically project himself into the real world one way or another. Apparently the Neko virus gained a similar ability, and apparently both viruses had an innate safeguard that prevented them from growing too big, which ended up getting scrambled, allowing Rush to grow bigger than even Asteroid Navis.

I could very well be wrong, though, and it's very likely something intentionally installed in Rush without much explanation. The explanations in that episode were vague and the translation confusing (no offense to the translators).

If that's the case though, WTF are they using Dimensional Areas for? Why not make a batch of modified Synchro Chips with the system that allows Rush to appear in the real world, instead of screwing around with Dimensional Converters, Dimensional, and even the Rush Synchro Chip itself?

[Netbattler_Kev]

I though he was a program created by Dr.Hikari, but the comming to the real world without area is confusing.

Same applies to Rockman's SoulUnison. Why not just studying Rock's ability to copy souls? In Axess #4, after Rock got damaged by Roll's Aquatower, Yuichiro tried to analyze Rock's core, but his data was unanalyzable. I suppose that's pretty much same to the "modified" Rush. And the reason why Rush could grow was the thunder's energy.

I remember reading somewhere that [spoil:bde9d8eb6d]Rush was a virus program that could somehow summon virii by opening wormholes that allowed virii to come through. He is also able to project himself into the real world with a type of holographic technology or something along those lines.[/spoil:bde9d8eb6d]

There's no evidence that Rush synchro chip can or cannot allow cross fusion outside of a dimensional area, so far if that is possible it haven't been shown at all. All we have is Shademan being able to materialize without one. But keep in mind Shademan it's a fully independent navi that can come and go through the net and the digital enviroment of the dimensional areas. Navis like Rockman, Blues, Searchman or Roll cannot materialize in the real world through dimensional areas -How did they materialize in the real world at the end of EXE seems to be a completely different issue-, if that was the case, Cross Fussion wouldn't exist because Navis wouldn't need the human body to 'materialize'.

In any case, there's no real answer for the question about why Rush can appear on the real world and make a link to the digital world at his will. We can think of several theories but in the end it has never been explained officially in the anime.

I'm not enterely sure about the Rush Synchro Chip's ability to hold the CF without a dimensional area still, what we saw in the Episode 28 doesn't give away too much to make a judgement, as we know EXE is famous for its plot holes, we'd need to see it being used without a dimensional area to be totally sure.

It's not a matter of just plugging in. That would be really and utterly stupid on Neubla's part. "Hey, let's make our converters so that they can be directly accessed! It's not like the Net Saviors would actually plug in if they figured out how." Adding plug-in sensors or widely broadcasting how to find the converters on the Net would be the next best thing to suicide.

If you'd refer to the Axess episode 18, it took Searchman a while to find the DA. Also, in the last episode of Axess, in order to gain access to Regal's huge converter, they needed to locate the thing first, then crack the encryption scheme, and that took a nice chunk of the episode even with Searchman's abilities (and that includes the Search Soul). Without the Search ability, by the time they'd figure out how to transmit Navis, the battle would be long over.

As for Laika sending Searchman in, what would be the point? It's much, much quicker and more effective to fire off a shot than to run into the DA, especially considering Searchman is designed for that kind of combat.

I don't mean to sound stuck-up, but some things aren't that hard to figure out and don't need to be explicitly described in the anime. Many of the supposed plot holes just need a bit of thinking to sort out.

As for the Rush Synchro Chip, I really don't see a point to it if it's not meant for extra-DA use. I got the idea that Mejin was researching new ways to counter materialized Asteroid Navis on shorter notice and figured Shademan's version of the Synchro Chip would be a good place to start.

It certainly wasn't explained in episode 41. The translation is confusing because it's quite literal, but I'm afraid there was next to no detail given about why Godzilla-Rush was stomping around.

I do recall something about Rush 'projecting' himself as a hologram, but I can't remember whether it was said in an episode, or something I read in a fanfic. I'll do a search of my scripts, in any case.

Definitely not a hologram. Netto even questioned that himself, but since he could touch him he was definitely there. Also, in AXESS 1, Chisao was standing on Rush, or vise versa (I forgot which). My personal opinion as to why he appeared in the real world is from some reaction to the Neko virus. Rush is technically a virus and even the virii in episode 41 were affected by the virus. I'm thinking that since Rush is a dog type virus, he had a different affect from the virus than the other virii did... Of course, even Yuuichirou didn't know why he was in the real world >.>;. He obviously has the ability to travel through the Net and the real world, though.

Didn't they say in 41 that Rush's projected form isn't actually a hologram?

*Checks.*

Oh. Netto said (according to to the subtitles), "A hologram...? No... it's not..."

And then later on, Yuuichirou said, "A hologram? The Neko virus had this kind of ability? Maybe Rush's hologram abilities came from that Neko virus..."

It seems to me like Rush's ability is not a hologram in the true sense of the word, but they just call it that for lack of a better term.


Edit: Eh, MSZ sorta beat me to it. Oh well.
(BTW, MSZ, it's viruses, not virii.)

[Master Swordsman Zero]

[Raijin]

That's a common misconception. Not all words ending in "us" can use that plural form. Look up the word "virus" in a dictionary, only one plural form should be listed there. It's viruses.
