"Alright. I have the fliers to help advertise the Flower Shop right here."

"Thank you, ElecMan."

"You think the amount of customers will increase with these fliers distributed?"

"I'm positive it will. There are many in the Multiverse who love flowers..."

*Grabs a flier with her mouth and waddles through a dimensional gateway.*

"...Goober just went through a dimensional rift. Should we be concerned?"

"No need to worry, Cosmo. Goober tends to wander through them and comes right back seconds afterwards."

On cue, Goober returns through another dimensional gateway, this time with some company.

"See? What'd I tell you?"

"But who's that with her?"

The stranger walked up to Flower Shop, timidly holding up the flier.

"Um... I received this from the brown amphibian... I would like to buy some flowers... Do you accept rings?"

Rockman.EXE Episode 46 Review.

In Battle Network universe, curry takes YOU out!

Are you gonna explain how Regal gets Dr. Wily’s robot eye gene or something?

We begin the episode with one of my least favorite characters in this season demanding curry at the restaurant of my least favorite group of villaines. Count Elec is working while complaining about Rush and wondering if the WWW will ever come back. Suddenly, his PET starts to emit a sound with a bright red screen, and we see that the rest of the WWW members also have the same problem.

They are all gathered at the Maha ichiban, with Rush still waiting for his dang curry, trying to figure out what is going on. The PETs then slowly reveal an image of Dr. Wily.

Are we forgeting already that Madoi has sleeves?

After the title card we see that all PETs are connected to a tv where they find out that it is a video recording of Dr.Wily’s will. Wily tells them about a special chip where he engraved his intellect and where to find it.

All of this as the monitor shows the mod code for HP+250 for some reason.

After hearing this the WWW members are amazed and glad that they will finally return, but a certain dog hears them and escapes to alert our heroes.

Another way to make this character useful. I honestly don’t know why they don’t even question Rush, like they already know who he is and what he can do.

We cut to Netto who is happily skating while singing Aki’s cheezy song (very badly BTW) until he is surprised by Rush who suddenly appears in his way. Rush seems to be trying to tell him something, but Netto simple can’t understand him.

Why? She speaks bitch? XD (It’s not a bad word if I’m not using it as an insult)

In the next scene we see the Ex-WWW stealing a helicopter from a local airport by drowning the employees in curry. I also want to point out that Madoi and Count Elec are wearing those weird looking hats from when they were hand gliding in episode 31.

Custom hats for their hair styles?

Madoi reminds them that Gauss might also be interested in finding Wily’s brain chip, before we see him at his company with the family picture we saw in episode 30.

Meanwhile, in Yaito’s secret tree house base, Roll somehow translates what Rush said about the Wily chip, (ignore the weird spacing in the second panel) and for some reason they all think it’s THEIR job to stop them.

Rush demonstrates once again that he can cross between worlds to show them the map to the chip, and right after this, Yaito calls them from a entirely different art style and background just so we can get Yaito’s animation of getting into her private jet Batman style.

It just looks so weird going back and forth between art styles like that. Even the shading is different!

They find the island with no signs of the Ex-WWW anywhere, until Rockman totally jinx it because it turns out they were waiting for them to fly and shoot at them!

Rockman in forth panel: “I hate to be right all the time”

It’s been a while since the WWW tried to MURDER Netto! They literally shoot at them because they knew Netto and Rockman were there!

After blasting them out of the sky, the WWW land on the island were they find a waterfall that, of course, has a jack-in point next to it. This means the waterfall is fake because it dries up once they plug-in to reveal the chip.

Just plug-in, play Wily’s video and no more waterfall. Before they can take the chip though, one of Yaito’s drill cars bursts out of the ground. Yaito, Dekao and Tohru attempt to runaway with the chip only for the drill to stop working leaving them stuck there. Meanwhile, Netto is driving underground in a second drill car.

“Girl please, who’s the main character here? I can find the plot with my eyes closed.”

The loser squad try to defend the chip, in a very poorly way because Mahajarama ends up picking it up easily after Madoi drops it. Hinouken celebrates, but they are all interrupted by a blimp from Gauss that suddenly arrives before cutting to commercials.

We return from commercials with Gauss blasting the WWW helicopter with a laser from his airship.

Yeap, that happend.

Gauss reveals himself and immediately proceeds to insult Madoi.

I like how the camera switches to Madoi dissapearing and then going back to Gauss getting slapped by her. This is officially the second time Madoi slaps him.

Gauss reveals that he is interested in collecting Wily’s chip for his fan girl collection before Netto and Meiru finally burst out of the ground behind the blimp. Gauss then reveals a vital piece of information to eveyone.

Whaaaaa... I’m just kidding, we already knew that.

Turns out Gauss changed the family name to Magnets after their mother died and considers the Count a failure. He offers to take him back on his blimp in return for him handing over the Wily chip. The Count accepts shocking everyone, except for Mahajarama who has fate in him.

Then Meiru comes running at Yaito and the others telling them that Netto is on that ship too.

“Main character!”

Inside the airship, the Count refuses to hand over the chip and challenges Gauss to a Net Battle, but not just any Netbattle, one with the same rules used in his battle against Rockman back in episode 30. 

Were the subs done by the same guys from episode 38? WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?!

Gauss accepts and we then see Netto hiding in a closet where Rockman tells him that he will disable the security so he can sneak around. The electric battle begins with Elecman and Magnetman rushing at eachother as we then cut to Rockman taking out the security Navis with his cutted buster shot.

I’m liking the lighting effects used in this episode.

Elecman attacks Magnetman with his Elec Sword, but the magnetic Navi blows him away. Magnetman attacks with his Mag balls, Elecman tries to avoid them but one of them eventually touches him causing the Count to get shocked by the battle machine.

So gay. 

Anyway, the Count shuts him up after he sends a lightning rod to Elecman to protect him from Magnetman’s attacks and returning the damage to him.

That’s not a real chip, but I don’t care.

Gauss gets angry and Magnetman manhandles Elecman.

This battle is intense! I am personally rooting for Elecman and the Count. I don’t have anything against gay people, I just happen to dislike Gauss, and his Navi Magnetman is very vicious. You can see how Elecman struggles in the battle just for the Count. That is Navi loyalty at its finest!

Meanwhile, we go back to the island where one of Yaito’s maids tells her that their rescue crew has arrived, they can now go get Netto from Gauss’s blimp. Speacking of Netto, we cut to Rockman now in the Heat Guts style burning more security Navis to disable what I guess is a motion sensor.

I think this is the first time we see burn marks left by the Heat Guts attack, it is suppouse to be a flamethrower after all.

Back to the battle, Elecman and Magnetman launch their attacks at the same time. The collission of their attacks for some reason means that both Gauss and the Count get electricuted. During this, a spark runs wild and starts a tiny fire somewhere in the blimp.

Netto finally arrives at the room where they are having their Net Battle and spots Wily’s chip in front of their family picture.

Just wanted to brag my good timing with this shot where Netto sees the Count before hiding.

Magnetman and Elecman are both tired, the fire in the airship starts to expand, the Navis decide to take the other one down with their fists resulting in a double log-out and both operators getting electricuted and falling over.

On the floor, they both talk about the past. Gauss even admits that their mother and him were worried about the Count before she passed away. 

This tender conversation is interrupted by an explotion caused by the growing fire, but there is another surprise for them, Netto attempting to sneak away with the Wily chip behind their backs.

You know, Netto, you could’ve taken advantage of the explotion to run away without them realizing it. 

Netto runs away and plugs out Rockman who was still burning security Navis in the cyberworld with Gauss and Count Elec right behind him.

Rockman deleting the security might have weakend the airships emergency protocals in case of a fire...Wooops. Either that or Gauss’s blimp was poorly designed.

Netto tries to escape from them by running to the roof only to be stopped by the fire.

.........

Only in the original version can you find an openly gay Gauss.

Netto threatens them by throwing the chip overboard, but another explotion causes him to lose balance.

The villains saved the hero?

Of course they did it because they thought he still had the chip. Luckily for Netto, he grabs on to a lose part of the blimp slowly tearing its side and leaving him hanging from it.

Gauss and Count Elec once again start to fight over the chip, and once again an explotion occures making them fall over with the chip sliding pass between them and finally falling off the ship.

LOL, there goes Wily’s brain.

The blimp is slowly falling with Netto getting closer to the water until something saves him from drowning or freezing to death.

Oh no, its the return of the Yaito Mako!

Netto is saved and the blimp ends up crashing into an iceberg while our heroes just watch the bad guys die.

Oh the Elec-Manity! Or Magnet-Manity? o-o

After this we see the Ex-WWW on a boat in front of the iceberg believing that their dear friend died. Of course this isn’t the case because the camera quickly shifts to the Count and Gauss bickering on a block of ice, ending the episode with both of them sneezing.

What do I think?

The beginning was pretty dumb. Netto and friends just trying to stop the Ex-WWW like it was their responsability. I mean, granted, Rockman is the hero that stops their evil plans, but they never got directly involve before. Fighting against the WWW Navis was because they were causing problems to them and the rest of the city, but their operators don’t stand a chance against a group of adults in real life. The cyberworld is where Rockman is superior and is able to stop them, that’s the Battle Network formula, giving kids an advantage over adults.

The best and most important part of the episode was the revelation of Gauss and Count Elec being brothers and the Net Battle between their Navis. If you saw the anime before playing the games like me, this was something we were waiting for after seeing the Count’s family picture in episode 30. The game was pretty vague about this, how were we suppoused to know that the Cout’s real name was Jack? They are never seen interacting with eachother in the games, Gauss’s introduction was the only time where this was mentioned. During the plane hijacking in BN2, Gauss reveals that he came from a very poor family and that his brother Jack was taken in by a wealthy family, making him bitter towards humanity and the reason why he joins Gospel. Here, they both come from a rich family but chose different paths, specially since the Count ran away from home a long time ago.

The reason why there was a mod code in Wily’s video was part of their publicity for BN3, by adding secret codes for the game in the anime. It is very plausible that we will see more secret codes hiding in some of the future episode.

hey gunvolt did you know theres a universe where asimov's shot did kill you and the copen from that world eventually was able to cause a system of adept and human equality, i hear he goes by IX sometimes and can travel realities.

"Really? RiFT did say that there were branching timelines of my dimension, but I never knew there was one where Copen of all people would help create Human and Adept equality. The Multiverse ceases to amaze me."

"You sort of glossed over the fact that you also died in that dimension, Gunvolt."

"That's because that part doesn't surprise me. Remember, RiFT saved me from a dimension where I should have died."

"The same goes for me. But I'm glad RiFT saved us and gave us another chance. I'm even glad we can be friends now, Gunvolt."

"Yeah. Me, too, Elise."

Attention Link Navi gang! Have any of you tried Beasting Out? What kind of form would you like/need in a hypothetical case?

"Good question. None of us tried to Beast Out, but I feel it would be cool if we could. Without the 'going berserk' side effect, of course. I think I'd go for a form similar to Megaman's Elec Beast. I feel that's what my form would look like is something like that. I guess that means I'm in favor of a Gregar form. I want to have increased speed that give Quickman a run for his money."

"Hey! Can I get in on this, too? I want a Falzar form with some awesome blue fire wings! That would be so sick! And I want my Buner Jet attack to cover me in the flames and give me a fire bird appearance!"

"I would choose the Falzar form as well. An increased wingspan and increased power over wind sounds favorable."

"I don't really want to look scary, blip. But I did always want to fly. So I think I would pick a Falzar form. Preferably a form that's not so scary, blip. And I want to have the an ultra Hydro Cannon as an attack."

"If I had the ability to Beast Out, I want to have a Falzar form that gives me cosmic wings and have a ring of stars orbiting me."

"I feel a Gregar form is more my style. I want to have two spacecraft shaped lasers at each side and rocket fists."

"I would like a Gregar form that further emphasize the Kamaitachi inspiration of my design. I'd like to be able to create slashes that are so powerful, they create razor sharp tornadoes."

"If I had a Beast Out form, I'd like to have black armor, large bat wings, and claws. I'd call the form 'Absolute Zero.' Does that sound dumb?"

Attention, Link Navi Gang™! Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the handsomest of them all? (For me, it's a tie between an electrifying Navi of the Zaps and a clawed swordfighting beauty.)

"You think I'm handsome? Well... Thank you."

"I never really cared about my looks very much, but I appreciate your kind words."

"I for one agree that you're very handsome, Slashman..."

"Are we really debating this? It's obvious that it's me! I'm very popular with the ladies!"

"Now now, Burnerman. No need to brag, even if you are cute. Besides, I think she was referring to Lan's original Link Navis."

"Aw, that's okay if I can't be included. You're the only girl for me anyway, Ryoko."

"Now I kinda feel left out..."

[sentient-rift]

Hey, ElecMan! I heard your singing voice is really nice~

"Really? Who told you that? The only ones I ever sang in front of was Ann and Jack...

"Although, they said I had a nice voice, too. Have you been talking to Ann or something?"

[sentient-rift]

RiCO, Why is Shield Sheldon in Shining Firefly's stage, and why is Shining Firefly in Shield Sheldon's stage?!

"Too many abnormalities in the Deep Log! This is getting to difficult to keep up with!"

"We'll help the best we can! I'll try to fix the Shield Sheldon Error!"

"And leave Shining Firefly to me!"

"Thanks, you guys! We can use all the help we can get!"

[sentient-rift]

Aw, Elecman, I never knew you had a warm heart (tbh, I thought it was just a giant thunderstorm).

But, Count elec and Ann coming back together seems impossible, at least Lan has a chance with Maylu.

"Even back when I was in WWW, I still cared about my operators. I just had the wrong mindset at the time. Kind of wish I came to my senses earlier so Jack wouldn't have been arrested. Maybe then he and Ann would have a better chance to be together again. I... I refuse to give up on them, even if everyone else has."

"And seriously, what's with these Anons?! Mayl and I are just friends for crying out loud!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Oh, Lan... No matter how many times you deny it, they're not going to believe you, Lan."

"C'mon! Get off my case already!!"

[sentient-rift]

Um, elec shouldn't your weakness be water as, well water and electricity are a fire hazard when United?

Also, how did Count Elec meet his wife (Who looks really nice in the anime, in her yellow Victorian dress)

"Look, I don't make the rules about type weakness. I know in the real world, water and electricity are dangerous to each other, but here in the cyber world, water's not as big a deal for me as wood is.

"And how Ann met Jack. Now that's a story. They met when they were younger. Jack used to be a simple electrician and helped Ann once. He fell in love with her immediately, and always made an excuse to see her. Eventually, her feelings became mutual when she enjoyed his company, and the two got married some time later...

"Unfortunately, Jack eventually lost his job, and couldn't provide for her. It was a case of using too much energy and causing a blackout. He wasn't in his right mind because he didn't get much sleep. Out of desperation, we joined WWW in hopes we could help her financially. But we slowly began to lose ourselves and enjoy the evil deeds we did due to spite. Guess you could say we blamed the world for our own mistake, and wanted revenge. It came with a cost, though; The closer we were to WWW, the more distant we were from Ann. You know the rest of the story; Lan and Megaman defeated us, I was given to Ann, and Jack is serving time in jail. I hope... He sees the error of his ways like I did. I really want Ann and Jack to be together again..."

Welch, you know how there are natural disasters on the net, how about the navies play roblox natural disaster survival, but with all of their powers intact?

"Ooh! That sounds like fun! What do you guys say?"

"Bring it on! Natural Disaster?! Hah! I am a Natural Disaster...!!"

"Mr. Burnerman, please calm down, or I'll have to put you out, blip."

"R-right... Sorry. Got carried away."

"No tornado or fires are any match for me! I control the wind, and shall extinguish all fires!"

"And leave the healing to me!"

"Hey! Looks like I showed up just in time! Mind if I joined in?"

"Hey! Elecman! Good to see you again! Sure, you can join! Alright, everyone! It's game time!"

"YEAH!"

[sentient-rift]

Continued from here.

"Thank you for the cooking tips, Atoli. With what you and Dingo taught me, I'll be able to make the best curry Lan's ever tasted!"

"I'm so glad I could help, Mayl!"

Enter Nana and Azure Kite.

"Thank you for the escort, Kite."

*nods*

"Hey, Nana. Kite seems to really like you for some reason..."

"This is how he's like around Aura, being her protector and all. I guess I remind him of her or something..."

"Hey, Atoli. The shipment of seeds are in."

"Oh, wonderful! I'll be able to start my garden!"

"The Item Creation Shop is going to look so much prettier with your flowers, Atoli! We're really glad to have you here!"

"I'm so glad! It's been so much fun working for you, Miss Vineyard. I'll do my best to brighten up the place."

(Atoli and Azure Kite have joined the party!)

[sentient-rift]

Elecman, do you consider other electric navies as brothers to you?

"Well, to be my biological brother, a Net Navi has to be made with the same data I was made with, and so far, I'm not aware of any Navis that share my data...

"With that said, I met Electric Navis who I became friends with that are as close as brothers. When Megaman introduced me to Thunderman, we became buddies fast. When Magnetman got his act together, we became friends, too. Welch teased that the Gemini Spark twins looked like they could be my brothers, and I can see why. And I kind of feel like Megaman became my brother the moment he got Elec Cross. So I guess if we become close, I sort of do think of those other Elec Navis as my brothers (or sisters) to an extent."

[sentient-rift]

Continued from here.

"Alright! I ordered more supplies for you, Welch."

"Thank you very much, Elecman! Gee, it's so good to have so much help around here."

"You've been working very hard, Elecman. Have a Cyber Slushy, blip."

"Gee, thanks!"

"Elecman! Thanks again for recharging my batteries! My Gamegirl Advanced is playing so much better now!

"Oh! No problem, Nana."

"Wow! He just got here, and already Elecman made himself at home!"

"You said it, Roll. It's good to have you onboard, Elecman."

"Thanks. I'll help you guys out however I can."

(Elecman.EXE has joined the party!)

(For pickup line meme) Sparky, you're... shockingly gorgeous~ (Get it? Shocking?)

(Send my muse a bad pickup line.)

"As cheesey as that was, I have a soft spot for electric humor..."

"To be clear, when she says 'Sparky,' is she referring to you or me?"

"Pretty sure it's me, GV."

"I know he's not here and all, but wouldn't it make more sense for that nickname to go to Sparkman?"

"You... Make a good point, Emerl..."
