Headscratchers / Mega Man Battle Network 2

• At the end we have some kind of fruitcake radiation that grows computers and starts mixing the real and cyber worlds of Kotobuki. Alright, I can suspend disbelief on that, it looks really cool and eerie. What really bugs me about it though, is that there was no Adventures Of Cookie And Cream-esque team up where MegaMan.EXE and Lan break that barrier and jump back and forth between their worlds — MegaMan.EXE shooting down doors, Lan whacking Metools with a mop, etc. Just seems like the perfect opportunity for Fish out of Water is all.
  • My guess? Nobody wanted to come up with an explanation for how Lan would be able to fight endgame-grade Viruses, considering he's not exactly equipped to use your chips.
  • Yeah, while a Navi in the real world has the potential to be a Person of Mass Destruction (see BN 6, with the Cybeasts and Wily's massive Copybots) a human in the Cyberworld would indeed be a Fish out of Water, but not a particularly interesting one. I don't think the scenario writer wanted to push it any further than they already did.
• In the airplane scenario, what the hell was Gauss's actual plan? He said he was hijacking the plane, but he didn't make any actual demands, and he already had the HighPower program he was there to steal. He was just trying to crash the plane! With him on it! Even worse, Gospel's leader was on the plane as well! If Lan had failed, Gospel would have wound up assassinating their own leadership.
  • Gauss was lying and the airplane hijacking was a pretense to distract from the actual theft of the HighPower program. Nobody's going to be looking for a thief when the world is going to Hell around them.
