Why does ToC...*Possible Spoilers*

Nenji

Seem to have many people who were out to get Lan and Megaman at one stage?

I mean, firstly there's Princess Pride who tried to KILL LAN, then he suddenly forgot all about that and didn't mind the fact she started living on a strange Island close to his house...I mean if I had someone who tried to kill me live that close to me, I'd be worried.

Then we have Dark, or Dusk as they call him, who tried to destroy the Mainframe in 2 as well. While he didn't come out and say he wanted to kill Lan, I'm sure he thought it, as he does in the Anime.

And then we have Higsby, who tried to Brainwash him. Okay, he's gotten over that well and truly but...

What on Earth is Barrel thinking? Is he trying to kill Lan?

...ZOMG IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

Sorry for the flippancy, but I had to get it off my chest.

Yes, I have wondered this for a while. I think Netto is a forgivable type of person, either that or a very stupid one.

There are two possible (and likely) reasons for this. The first one is that the Battle Network/EXE writers have lost all sense of continuity, or have a seething hatred for refering to the plotlines of previous games.
The second is simply that Pride has reformed and Lan knew about it....somehow. o_O And being mercenaries, Dark and ShadowMan don't need to reform since they were only getting paid to do stuff for Gospel in BN2.
Oh, and Higsby? He reformed way back in the first game, Lan has no reason to be worried about him.

Personally, I'd go with reason one. The BN series hasn't been given any real continuity since BN2; since then, only things that happened in BN1 have ever been referred to or included in current games. (Like MegaMan's alternate identity.)

I agree with the first one, remember Tamako in exe 4 Blue Moon? Lan didn't remember her, yet he faught her in the Grand Prix.

Well, I think Netto was willing to forgive Pride, since in BN2, she mentions something about working for Gospel because they told her they wouldn't attack Creamland if she did, and yes, he is quite forgiving, remember Shun? The kid almost fried both of you with radiation, and as soon as he read that diary: Boom, forgiven on the spot. Okay, maybe that's not the best comparison, as Shun did have a REALLY messed up childhood, I'd still, y'know, give him a good slap across the face to slap some sense into him before I said "okay, we're all clear now". And as far as the Shadowman thing, I don't think they did much trust him at first, since before you recruit him, you chase him across the Net for the sole purpose of getting answers and then beating the snot out of him. That and we don't know EXACTLY what happened in the buffer periods between 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5, so...

Like the post above me said, it explains pretty well why Princess Pride was trying to kill Netto/Lan.

If you think ToC has it bad with villains turning good, just look at ToB/P. Tesla, Charlie (Wait! I'm not sure about Charlie), and Nenji. -.-

Um... Nenji wasn't exaclty "evil" to my knowledge... then again, I have TOC, but since this is his first appearance in the games, I'd imageine he'd be something like Dingo, Not sure about Charlie, but from what I've heard with the whole Tesla thing, she's not really "evil" in the games... she just inherited Magnetman... who's still a bit bitter about having his ass handed to him by Rock

Easy. Netto, at every turn, has smacked around ALL of these people before, and he's an overconfident little bugger. He has to beat the crap out of someone before they'll join the team... And after all they do in battles, I can't say I'd feel terribly threatened by them either...

Well, in the games Tesla hasn't appeared before, it was Gauss who operated Magnetman in EXE 2. So Lan wouldn't have a reason to remember Tesla probably, just Magnetman and the Navi does what the Net Op tells them in the end.

And I am aware that Lan would forgive Pride, it's just that there were no comments, or anything. Plus Barrel didn't seem the slightest bit worried about how they would work together at all...

Like I said, I knew Higsby has been well and truly reformed, it's more that half of the Team has been out to get Lan and Megaman at one stage int eh series and well, compared to ToB it seems a little odd...

Another question, and slightly of topic. What country is Cream/Brightland supposed to reperesent anyway? Russia maybe?

Huh? Okay, obviously this obviously something that's happened before...I was just thinking about it that's all. If it causes problems forget about, sorry, my bad.

Okay, let me contribute:

Pride was never truly evil. She was only doing that for the good of her country.

Dusk/Dark is a mercenary, therefore he and Netto never really have a grudge. Sure, Rockman's smacked Shadowman around a few times, but they have to work with a client, even if they don't like them.

Although I am curious as to what Creamland/Brightland is. It's not Russia, that's Shaaro. but this thread isn't about that, so I'll drop it there.

I agree with CFS. Plus, there's a TON of plot-holes in the games that it doesn't really matter anyway.

Nenji could have been evil, if he operated Napalmman in exe2 in WWWarea2.

NotJim · :3c Joined: 13 Jun 2005 Posts: 973

No he didn't. NapalmMan was independent back then; from what I know, he was found by Nenji after the WWW server was destroyed.

I think in EXE 5 the Games got confused with the Anime a little. XP

But I just remembered, Lans friends were under the drill! First Pride tries to kill Lan, then she goes after his friends! Laughing
