i remember when i was child i looked this anime and i says "Fusion croisée!" everytime << i'm sad because i can't see the french episode now =( ( i'm from france =x )
I don't forget megaman =( , i love you dark protoman <3
@biospark96 do what I do, go to Rockman EXE online, read the episode summary of the episode your gonna watch then after that watch the raw version of that episode, a fairish part of it has some English (as in Netto saying cross fusion for example)
What I NEVER understood was how normal darkloid navis could just... well... be there when there's a dimensional area but NOOOO the good guys' navis have to cross fuse with a human or they cant be there. Same with viruses.
@visionary1138 Darkloids absorb dark chips which are made from synchro chips. Therefore, they are able to materialize without a human host. My theory about viruses is that they are infused with the darkloids power which gives them the ability to materialize.
@Boksunni1 But they're protected by a burst of energy that would deflect any attack while they cross-fuse, they are vulnerable though if something pierces their data armor, their actual body would be harmed.
@Boksunni1 You, like many other people, have probably never considered the idea that maybe the transformation sequences are much shorter to those viewing from the outside, and are dramatized during the show's runtime to emphasize importance. Am I correct?
_
I thought about those ideas when I was a little kid and watching transformers, Sailor Moon, Gundam, and Cardcaptor Sakura. I think it's a legitimate thought.
@KenAndEthan I Know Seriously Bit the least they could do is make a megaman game where youcan make you're own navi sort of like BETHESDA's character creation or better yet a megaman MMORPG
@DantesonofSparda85 green guy's Searchman and his operator. Purple Ninja's Shadowman and his operator but that's all I remember. You'll have to look them up lol. just look up cross fusion
@DantesonofSparda85 sorry for the double post but i wasn't watching the full vid XD the indian looking one is Tomahawkman andhis operator. that's all i remember from the games XD
I wanna wield Swordman and cross fuse with that guy. Screw swinging a sword, I'd BE a sword! Three in fact! And I'd have a multiple personality disorder along with it!
@wwlinkisbest They did... but not until the 7th game, set 200 years later and thus not using the same cast. I'm referring to MegaMan StarForce, where Geo Stelar merges with an alien called Omega-Xis to form Megaman.
I like how in every anime there must be a dramatic transformation sequence. and the bad guys must stand and watch as the hero dances around and gets changed into dramatic clothes :P
does anyone know where i can watch megaman NT Warrior in english dub ore english sub cuz i really like megaman and want to start watching the episodes again
@1115LightAngel Oh trust me, you don't want the english dub. It's not half as epic. Always look for subs; not that it matters in this case. I don't think this season made it to America.
@HintsV2 you didn't get it? Zero wing reference!? Either that, or you successfully trolled me. And this is an anime where 12 to 18 year old kids save the world, take part in armies, and heck, even work for free.
@Raizeo Umm... do you still wanna go to that war if I said, "Everyone in that war is as strong as you."? I mean... yeah... if you hate your life that much... I wouldnt stop you from going onto that battlefield...
@wwlinkisbest I know right? I always thought that myself! Well, in the Megaman NT Warrior manga they had 'Full Synchro' to be slightly like that, with how in Full Synchro you were connected to your navi and if anything happened to him/her it happened to you too. Which I thought was a pretty neat idea. =P They also had some way humans could go into the cyberworld and navis could go into the real world using these weird machines. =P
@blueflameboy68 Yeah that was his name in Japan. Even funnier? In the manga the mangaka has this extra joke chapter where he talks about how he was considering giving Blues a girlfriend called 'Rhythm' so that together they could be 'Rhythm and Blues, aka R&B!' like the music. XD But then in the manga he drew Iceman, Wackoman and Woodman attacking him and saying 'You want to make a new character when you didn't even use us!???' XDDDDDDDDD Lol ^^
@98Stellar What? You mean Full Synchro in the manga? I believe the first occurrence was like the last chapter (5 or 6) of the first volume, but Full Synchro has been in the manga numerous times. ^^
@xxxMitschixxx It's Stream, or the third season/aka the season after Axcess. After that there is Beast and Beast+ I believe, and then a Megaman movie! :P The reason you don't know if they stopped dubbing it here in the US after Axcess for some reason. >.>
@1dbad: the Movie is part of the Stream season, it's the bridge between the two halves of it. It's supposed to take place between Episodes 30 and 31 of Stream.
Guys i want to know what is your dream netnavi(what netnavi do you want to have if PETs were real you can also make your own up) cause i'll tell you mine if at least 3 people tell me theirs i'll give you hints for mine 1.21XX, 2. Blue, 3. 8 titles(9 titles i'm not sure cause of the Annaversary Collection) i hope your dream NetNavis will be good ones
I think EM wave change is better than cross fusion because you need a dimensional area to do a cross fusion but a EM wave change can be done anywhere at anytime also you can change between wave world and real world when ever you want. But the music and the way everyone cross fuses is awesome I wish the people that made the Starforce anime could have put a bit more effort into the Em wave changes.
@LBcrimson Those 2 seasons (stream which is this one and the last one,beast) we're not aired in america since the original NT warrior series suffered americanisation~ i sugjest you to watch the whole serie in japanese with english subs tho its hard to find.
@JASpiring Yes,i also think that giving the GBA game names would've had been more apropriate. But calling in Megaman Exe stream and stuff would've had worked totally.I hate americanization towards anime -.-
