Paul Eiding will voice Dr. Light.
Alot of fans have agreed that Eiding would be perfect for the role, and given that he's worked with Man of Action before, it wouldn't be implausible.- OP here. This WMG is Jossed. Gary Chalk will voice Dr. Light. Ah, well. His voice sounds about right. Plus, maybe will get a Shout-Out to the "Gutsman's Ass" meme, as Chalk voiced Gutsman in the Ruby-Spears cartoon.
- Confirmed with the Gutsman shout-out being an Easter Egg in episode 8.
One episode will be about everyone turning into cats.
Because it's happened not once, but twice already. "Aki" is just a nickname Rock uses
It wouldn't be hard to believe that with the school setting, his classmates would make fun of him and Roll's Punny Name.- Jossed. Aki is his real name. Though, given how it's a word that can mean 'bright', maybe it's a Punny Name with Suna.
Season 1 Will End on a Sequel Hook Revealing That Sergeant Night Works for Doctor Wily
- Adding on, it will be revealed that Bert isn't Dr. Wily but instead a Robot. The reveal makes him goes unhinged and he becomes Bass. Dr. Wily will be revealed to be one of the instigators of the orginal Robot wars Dr. Light was a part of.
- Jossed, though Wily does appear in the comics as a post-Night villain.
The series is deceptively Darker and Edgier.
This is Man Of Action we're talking about. We've seen how dark Ben 10 and Generator Rex got. This series will start off as a Slice of Life comedy, before being hit by Cerebus Syndrome hard, with people getting hurt or even killed by the Robot Masters (indirectly to respect the Three Laws of Robotics), and Mega Man becoming more and more depraved.- Here's one scenario I thought of: everything is going fine, when all of a sudden, Suna is Killed Off for Real. In his grief, Dr. Light attempts to resurrect her with cybernetics, but fails. This exercise in futility, though, gives him an idea, and so he takes Aki's blueprints and modifies them. After several months, "Project Roll" is complete, yielding a female robot named Hikari (Aki was "Project Rock"). Aki initially rejects her as a slap in the face to Suna's memory, but he comes to love her dearly after she saves him from insurmountable odds.
- Alternatively, Suna is severely injured in a fight, and depending on the severity in order to save her life Dr. Light is forced to either replace her damaged organs/limbs with cybernetics or outright digitize and download her mind into a robot body. Suna lives, but has to come to grips with her new body, similar to how amputees learn to cope with the loss of their limbs and struggle to use prosthetic limbs.
Sgt. Night is actually a robot (perhaps unknowingly) masquerading as the long-dead Breaker Night.
Although this guess might be because it seems like it'd be a neat reference to Pluto.A future episode will revolve around a robot veteran of the Great Offscreen War.
Dr. Light is a representative of the humans' side of the conflict, so seeing the other side, as well as what robots were like before Aki was born, is probable.- Confirmed to an extent with Wood Man, a robot who thinks the Hard Age is still ongoing and tries to attack the city.
Bert Wily will hijack the plot and Big Bad role from Sgt. Night.
Not only is that just what Wilys do, it'd create a new level of angst for Aki cause they're BFFs at the start.Alternatively, Bert Wily's father is Dr. Wily a la the games and he hijacks the plot.
That or Bert's mother is a female Wily for additional changes. We will eventually learn who gave Aki his Megaman powers.
Since Dr. Light didn't do it, we lack knowledge of who gave Aki his powers. We'll learn who it is around the season one finale and Aki will take Dr. Light and Suna to meet whoever gave him the powers.This show takes place in an alternate timeline where Dr Light actively served in the army during the World Wars.
In this timeline, he never met Dr Wily as a peer as he would have in Classic. Wily's plans for a society bootstrapped with robots would end up being chosen to assist in postwar restoration of civilization.In the original Classic timeline, he had not served in any wars, and in the Battle Network timeline, it was his plans for a society revolving around the Internet that was chosen over Wily's.
There will be a body-swap episode with Aki either swapping with Suna or Mega Mini
If it's with Suna, Aki will have to deal with being a human (not just that, but a girl) for the episode while Suna will have to struggle with being a robot, Mega Mini talking insider her (or rather, Aki's) head all the time as well as controlling his powers (she'd have so much trouble when she realizes Aki doesn't have it easy all the time).If it's with Mega Mini, Aki will have to understand how his inner body functions work to get Mini to use his powers to fix the mess, and Mini will have to work with whatever Aki is giving him while he has issues with going on the field, with both realizing that fighting robots by oneself and working at a control panel to use specific commands aren't the same thing.
Naturally, whoever is in Aki's body might attract the attention of his father and friends when they realize "Aki" isn't being himself.
In a twist of events, Aki might undergo under a temporary Face–Heel Turn.
Here's how this could happen:- Mega Man is facing off Sgt. Night, and tries to replicate his robot arm's schematics. He copies his powers, but doing so makes him see things the way Sgt. Night does, thinking unity and Dr. Light's words are meaningless. From that point, he'd either:
- Attack humans solely because he'd think that, as a robot living like a human, he's better than humans (serving as an Ironic Echo and callback to Breaker's claim that a human using robot powers makes him superiors to robots) and that humans are just tools to make robots stronger and better.
- Agree to work with Sgt. Night to break unity and end the bonds between robots and humans, with some of Aki's issues about being different from Dr. Light, Suna and some of his other friends being revealed. This might result in him revealing his true identity to Sgt. Night.
- If Namagem is introduced at that point, there would be parallels between him and Mega Man since they would both have been under Sergeant Night's evil influence in some way.
- Mega Man might finally have a conversation with Fire Man with them both agreeing on the same thing, while still retaining some level of enmity.
- Mega Mini would either stay hidden as to not alarm Sgt. Night of his presence and role, or he'd be found out immediately and get confiscated by Breaker so there's no one to stop Mega Man on his rampage (beside inevitably Suna, Dr. Light and Aki's friends, trying to bring him back to reason).
- Alternatively, Hypno Woman could successfully brainwash him.
Sgt. Night is a Disc-One Final Boss.
Given his overall lack of relevance and Bert getting more screentime than him, it can be inferred that he's more a harbinger for things to come instead of being the de facto villain. Time Travel will be involved at some point.
However, rather than being leading to something akin to X, it could lead to an adaptation of Quint's character from the Gameboy Mega Man II, or be used to integrate a more traditional, older Dr. Wily if Bert himself turns out to be Wily. Bert Wily is Dr. Wily's nephew.
- Jossed: The comics reveal that he’s his grandson. You were pretty close, though.
Sgt. Night’s hatred against robots comes from severe grief of major loss and, bottled up emotions.
He was a hero from the Hard wars and lost his arm in it, and possibly more. He was a seargent and still is. Meaning he could’ve lost good, men and close friends to war, specifically perhaps robots. It couldn’t have been a happy for all right? Some people must’ve died, and Night knows this and lives with it. Loss isn’t easy and people tend to pin the blame on someone or something, to cope, thinking getting back at who or it will mend their broken heart. That’s what a Night thinks and pins the blame on robots. The ultimate evil robot, in the concept promo.
. Sgt. Night in ultimate armour know as “lord Obsidian”. An ultimate boss version of Namagem
Namagem will be acting as Sgt. Night’s “Moral Compass” and make him reconsider his actions and hypocrisy, as he grows to care for Namagem.
Let’s face it, we all know the one he has, is not in good condition, maybe Namagem could help it. Perhaps he’ll Be like his son basically, since he probaly made him and that he’s a child’s under his tutelage so it makes sense there would be closeness, at least on Namagem’s side. He’d look up to Night for guidance and closure. And through time, he’ll see him like a father figure. Sgt. Night will come to realize this and be somewhat conflicted. Namagem would also suggest safer solutions, and add questions towards his methods, that’d make him question them too. Bert will undergo a Start of Darkness.
Given our knowledge of the Mega Man mythos. Sgt. Night is actually a robot, with Lord Obsidian as his 'real' form.
Alternatively, he uses the same technology Mega Man uses to transform. Mega Man himself is the Mega Key.
Since we have yet to see said MacGuffin... Breaker Night will expose himself as Lord Obsidian to the public.
In a similar way to how Vlad exposed his true nature in the Grand Finale of Danny Phantom. Drill Man will pull a Heel–Face Turn.
After what happened in ep 15, he’ll reconsider what he’s doing and realize that, even though he was forced into mining, he wasn’t forced into villainy, help Megaman, take down Night, and even finally asks for help to get hands from Dr Light after Night’s taken down. Drill Man’s father will appear on the show.
He’ll be a part of Drill Man’s redemption arc, in facing his past demons. His selfishness and lack of understanding, will peeve Dr Light off, to blow him away with a big "Reason You Suck" Speech, to where Aki and Suna or someone else will have to restrain him from going berserk on him, giving him a long overdue Jerkass Realization and make things right with his son. Namagem is Protoman.
That’s what Dr Light called him, but was renamed after Sgt Night took him in.His backstory, is similar to the canon one. He was Dr Light’s original creation, but was highly unstable. Dr Light tried to help him, but it would’ve changed him, and somehow after that, Night got a hold of him, and raised him to enact revenge on Dr Light, together.
The alligator Waveman, calls out to was not his.
It’s an upcoming character, possibly, a sophisticated aristocrat, mutated with alligator DNA. As out of hand, Waveman got, it would’ve been still mean to just leave him again like that. Whatever it was it was shaking it head, that it wasn’t who he was looking for.- Wheel Gator, perhaps?
Dr Light will receive an Calling the Old Man Out. moment.
It’s clear he’s keeping things a secret, like the mega key, the fact he’s already aware aki’s megaman and of course Namagem, whom I think will have the mic for this one, for keeping him a secret, from his own siblings, and feeling he abandoned him and Night. Such a truth will shock and disappoint Aki and Suna, and leave a man alone and heartbroken. Namagem’s emotionally unstable and conflicted.
Like, Protoman, he’s unstable, but more physiologically. He’s prone to mood swings and breakdowns. That’s apart of why Dr light tried, to reprogram him, but the misunderstanding and being taken in by Night, worsened things. Namagem has “abandonment issues”.
After what happened with him and Dr. Light, he felt abandoned, more so after he made Aki. He’s so afraid of being replaced and “forgotten” again, he’s loyal to Sgt Night, no matter what he says or does. Waveman is working for Sgt. Night to find his alligator.
The whole reason, Waveman turned to villain you, was to find Alligator. In episode 12 opposites attract, Fireman reminds how he found him and got him out of the sewer life. Somehow Night, or just fireman, by coincidence, met Waveman in his dilemma, convinced him to go out to the surface and “clean” it up to find him, and so Waveman started his path of darkness. Time Man and Oil Man will make their appearance soon.
Since almost all of the original Robot Masters from the first game appear in this series, Time Man and Oil Man will most likely be too. Sgt.Night has undiagnosed PTSD.
Aki himself is the Mega Key.
Aki. "A key." Get it?- Jossed, the Mega Key is completely different.
Namagem will become Proto Man after making a Heel–Face Turn
After realizing the evil he has done, he'll undergo a Good Costume Switch with the familiar red and gray color scheme. The reason for the sunglasses and scarf will be to hide his scar. The comic will introduce Bass as a creation of Dr. Wily
Dr. Wily is going to be a major character in the series, and is implied to have both a connection to Skull Man and the Hard Age. Whatever his plans are may include getting his hands on Megaman to create a Superior Successor. And in a meta sense, the comic, while keeping Namagem as a major character, has made it a point to bring in more elements from the games as opposed to original characters. Bringing in Bass to replace Namagem would be a major part of that.- Alternatively, if the musical Theme Naming being gone makes them think twice about Bass, then Wily will create a version of Zero as the Superior Successor.
- Issue 3 ends with the appearance of the Fully Charged version of Zero, but it turns out to be Suna in a disguise.
- Dr. Wily ends the series escaping and promising to make a Superior Successor to Mega Man and Daini. If they do make a second miniseries, we may see Bass then.
Suna is actually a robot made by Wily to lead the robots in the Hard Age War, and was taken by Light and reprogrammed to act as his daughter and Aki's sister after Namagem/Daini was stolen by Sgt. Night.
I base this off of the previews for issue 4 revealed thus far.In addition, Skull Man's attack on Mini and Aki's "upgrade" from Wily were just ways for Wily to wirelessly connect to Suna/Zero and get Aki's schematics respectively. That process did look like it'd take a while.Plus, look at Suna and then at Dr. Light. As well as acknowledge the fact that no mention or even hint of a mother or married life for the good doctor was ever in the picture.
- Jossed. A shame really.
