History Manga / MegaManMegamix

* RescueRomance: Subverted by Bass' 'rescue' of Roll. Roll/Kalinka would qualify as this. Brutally subverted by [[spoiler:Blues and Kalinka]]

This series provides examples of:

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Mega Man's battle with Bass [[LetsGetDangerous once he gets serious]]. However it went, it went ''badly'' for Bass.

* HoYay: In addition to the Roll/Kalinka LesYay, one of the short comics shows Toadman (a Cossackbot) hibernating with Snakeman (a Wilybot). In character profiles from one of the games, there were some implications that Snakeman was Toadman's StalkerWithACrush, so this may be another case of ShownTheirWork. There's also a scene in Battle and Chase that may be a little more than just SempaiKohai: the other characters find the whole thing very awkward...

* AxeCrazy: Bass. More so than usual, especially [[spoiler:when he takes in the Hyper Energy Crystals and is overcome with their power]]. The Stardroids, who exist only to destroy. Blues does a very good impression.

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The portrayal of the third game's Robot Masters. The second game's robots, on the other hand, weren't quirky [[BadAss in the]] [[NightmareFuel least]].
** The third numbers were a lot less quirky in their first chronological appearance in "Asteroid Blues".

** In Gigamix Vol. 2.....whoo boy, where to start? [[spoiler:The Wily Numbers Third and Seventh group (the Robot Masters from those games) all assault the rampaging 'White Giant' after Wily, knowing they'll fail. Shade Man offers to be a decoy, knowing full well he won't stand up to it either, just so Shadow Man can escape to get Wily healed up. The Fifths attempt to do this as well to rescue Rock, Cut Man, and Elec Man, to no avail. Not to mention the tournament robots from the sixth game and ''[[BeyondTheImpossible A THOUSAND FIGHTING ROBOTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD]]'' assaulting Terra at once to protect the humans despite knowing its a futile fight.]]

The fan favorite and oft celebrated adaptation of the classic ''Game/MegaMan'' series by Hitoshi Ariga. Well known inside the fandom but never released in the west, it was originally known only to Japanese and the few western fans that could afford to import it. Scans and translations of the original stories were available, but only of the first few chapters. A well known petition circulated for years, trying to get someone to pick up the series, but it seemed it was to no avail...

... That is, until recently, when publisher UDON announced that they would be bringing the series to the west. All three volumes have already been released, with the latter two including bonus content. For example: Volume 2 includes supplementary materials, like interviews with Kenji Inafune, Robot Master profiles, and comic strips based on the MegaMan Soccer game (which are much less serious than the actual Megamix manga).

** Inverted by the MegaMan 5 Wilybots, who are fairly heroic in the amusement park chapter.

* BloodSport: Dr. Light disapproves of Battle and Chase because of this, and all Rock can say is that at least it's not as bad as the [[GladitorialGames tournament]] in MegaMan6. Dr. Light was supposed to give some sort of a speech for the WRO during it: at the end of the chapter we find out that he missed the whole thing because he couldn't find his ties. While Battle & Chase is a less serious chapter than many of the others, he was probably grateful for the excuse.

* CanonForeigner: Not quite this example, but Shadow Man's portrayal in Megamix had a considerable affect on [[MegaManBattleNetwork Battle Network's]] portrayal of the character, from his role as an assassin to his ability to move through shadows.

* ContinuityCameo: [[MegamanBattleNetwork Ribitta and Sunayama]] appear as staff covering the Battle and Chase. [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Charlie]] is also seen as a TV announcer multiple times.
** In Asteroid Blues, you can see [[MegamanBattleNetwork Speedy Dave, Terry Jomon, Princess Pride, Mary Towa, Chaud, Shuko Kido and Mr. Match]] watching a news report on Wily's jail sentence. The judge ruling on Wily is apparently [[MegaManZero Glacier Le'Cactank]] in human form. Robots send to investigate the asteroid look like the Normal Navis and the guardian robots on the asteroid are the first boss from the first [[MegaManLegends Legends]] game.
** During Terra'a one on one battle with Rock, some of the spectators around the world include [[MegamanBattleNetwork Raika, Ivan Chillski, Raoul and Dingo]].

** During "Warrior's Day Off," Dr. Light is busy training [[StreetFighter in a karate outfit]] for a "[[MegaManX legacy for the future]]."
** In "Asteroid Blues", some of the robots on the asteroid strongly resemble [[MegaManLegends Reaverbots]].

* GuileHero / ManipulativeBastard: Blues, who has Rock and Bass' best interests at heart but has no problem manipulating Bass into attacking an injured Rock, for example. Even worse is the time he [[spoiler:basically set Copy-Megaman up to commit suicide.]]

* PetTheDog: Wily and Reggae, played straight and then subverted with the Yellow Devil. The revelation that Blues was the one who [[spoiler:sent the imprisoned Dr. Light footage of what was going on]] in The Greatest Enemy is one, although he has several KickTheDog moments in that story. Shadow Man rescuing [[spoiler:Copy-Megaman]] is this: it's something of a HopeSpot for the poor robot, since [[spoiler:he immediately goes and throws his life away.]]
* [[GoKartingWithBowser Playing Soccer With Wilybots]]: Ariga's Megaman Soccer bonus strips. The Amusement Park visit counts as well (at least pre-Bass 'visit'). The original trope name would fit during the Battle & Chase chapter.[[spoiler:before Wily's ego and desire for fame and money turns it into a DeadlyGame instead, not to mention the antagonists hiding their identities in the beginning.]]

** Justified and invoked by both Light and Wily in Gigamix Vol. 2[[spoiler:at the very onset of robotic evolution as proven by a flashback to their initial partnership. By giving robots 'souls', they could adapt and achieve more than just simple programming and instruction could, fully aware of the problems this could result in.]]

* [[spoiler: EyeScream: Terra ripped out and ATE Saturn's eye in Gigamix 3.]]

* ActuallyADoombot: Near the beginning of the ''The Greatest Enemy in History'' stoy arc, after [[spoiler:Copy]] Mega Man foils Dr. Wily's plans, he ''shoots him in the forehead'', only for the head to start bouncing on a spring, revealing it be a robot fake. The real Wily observed the event from his Wily Capsule, shocked at how Mega Man would shoot a human.

* HulksCooldownHugCorollary: In "Metal Heart", it seems that the Yellow Devil is finally going to reach [[spoiler: its mother, the Mother Computer]], only for [[spoiler: Shadow Man to impale the Yellow Devil's weakpoint and cause critical damage to both it and the Mother Computer.]]

* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: [[spoiler:Darkman #4]] in ''Battle & Chase'' is [[BrokenRecord very insistent]] on the fact that he is Proto Man. And why wouldn't he? [[BlatantLies He's Proto Man after all!]]

--> '''[[spoiler:Darkman #4]]''': Eh??... but I'm Proto Man!

* EarlyBirdCameo: If you look closely at the backgrounds, [[spoiler:Jupiter and Saturn]] show up as engravings on the Asteroid Alpha ruins during "Asteroid Blues."

* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:Every single Lightbot refuses to back down against the Stardroids, even if they're missing a limb or 2.]]

* ContinuityCameo: [[MegamanBattleNetwork Ribitta and Sunayama]] appear as staff covering the Battle and Chase. [[StreetFighterAlpha Charlie]] is also seen as a TV announcer multiple times.

Due to the success of ''Mega Man 9'' and ''Mega Man 10'', the series is getting a re-release in Japan as ''Rockman Gigamix'', which collects the original volumes while also adding new material by Ariga. UDON has licensed Gigamix, and published two volumes containing the new material so far, the first in May of 2011 and the second in August of 2011.

** In Asteroid Blues, you can see [[MegamanBattleNetwork Speedy Dave, Terry Jomon, Princess Pride, Iris, Chaud, Shuko Kido and Mr. Match]] watching a news report on Wily's jail sentence. Robots send to investigate the asteroid look like the Normal Navis and the guardian robots on the asteroid are the first boss from the first [[MegaManLegends Legends]] game.
** Was that Iris? The girl next to Chaud looks a good deal more like Mary, from BN's [[GaidenGame Battle Chip Challenge]]. And the judge ruling on Wily is apparently [[MegaManZero Glacier Le'Cactank]] in human form.

* AxeCrazy: Bass. More so than usual, especially [[spoiler:when he takes in the Hyper Energy Crystals and is overcome with their power]]. The Stardroids, who exist only to destroy. Blues does a very good impression. OrIsIt?

* RescueRomance: Subverted by Bass' 'rescue' of Roll. Roll/Kalinka would qualify as this. Brutally subverted by [[spoiler:Blues and Kalinka]] OrIsIt?

* NoExportForYou: Thankfully finally averted with Udon's release of the manga in the US.

* AxeCrazy: Bass. More so than usual. Blues does a very good impression. OrIsIt?

* DarkIsNotEvil: Shadow Man.

[[spoiler: * EyeScream: Terra ripped out and ATE Saturn's eye in Gigamix 3.]]

* {{Oubliette}}: In ''Asteroid Blues'', Wily is sentenced to 2,000 years in solitary confinement, in a cell 100 meters underground. Six months into his sentence, he hasn't seen a single human face, and has managed to cover every available surface of his cell in [[RoomFullOfCrazy equations and figures]]. [[spoiler:Skull Man]] is angry because something analogous was done to him.
