History Fridge / MegaManZero

** This may count as Fridge Heartwarming: At the end of the series, Zero is dead and is supposedly in Cyberspace. Fastforward to ProjectXZone, Iris is brought back thanks to the representatives of Franchise/DotHack. Now what does .hack have in common with the Mega Man series? Cyberspace. Zero also vows to find Iris once again. So in essence at the end of the series, Zero and Iris are finally reunited.

***** Weil is also a mass murderer despot. The sprirt of Law Zero was intended specifically to stop people like him. For another example, people like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Pol Pot and their atrocites would be an adequete threshold to trigger an appropiate Law Zero action.

* Zero's decision to kill Weil seems to be spitting on the laws of robotics that were so important to the series. However, his decision is actually in accordance to the obscure Zeroth Law of Robotics which in essence is a threshold law designed to protect the human race, as obeying law 1 would cause humanity to be harmed through inaction. Made especially ironic given that Zero was never built with the laws in mind, yet he unwittingly follows the most important law.

* Think of the attitudes humanity has towards genuinely non-violent robots: in MM9 we see [[spoiler:the Robot Masters are still online when Wily finds them.]] In MMX6, Gate's Reploids are killed off due to their potential risks instead of merely reassigned; in the context of this series, robots are basically sentient, so humans are willing to leave living people ''to basically starve to death, or outright kill them, out of convenience.'' Yet, people like Dr. Wily and Weil get to live, with no "kill on sight" orders established before being captured. How ''horrifically'' skewed are humanity's priorities towards robots and humans to even allow this to happen? The worst part about this? This means that Dr Weil's HannibalLecture ''[[StrawmanHasAPoint has ground.]]'' [[HumansAreBastards Only humans understand the joy of power, indeed.]]

***** Don't forget that Weil is more machine than man at that point, particularly when he's fused to Ragnarok.

Now remember when he said "I am The Devil"? Now consider these: Being one of the good guys at the start? Check. Being envious to one of the good guys that solved them all? Check. Cursing the tool (i.e the Mother Elf) that was previously used for peace, and created an AntiChrist, to wreck chaos, just to spite said good guy? Check. Being banished to "hell" after all he had done? Check. Said good guy sacrificed himself to stop the whole mess? Check. Now sum them up, and then you'll think of him as ''[[{{Satan}} Lucifer, aka the Devil itself]].''

** Remember, Wily became evil because his pride was hurt. Meaning if he won, it would be more or less just to prove he's better than Dr Light. If he won, mankind would probably just have to deal with his ego for a couple decades until Dr Wily dies(he's already quite old.) Compare that with [[WellIntentionedExtremist Sig]][[KillAllHumans ma]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe Doc]][[FantasticRacism tor]] [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans We]][[CompleteMonster il]], and [[RootingForTheEmpire you'll be rooting for Dr Wily in no time.]]

** All of them makes Weil [[UpToEleven even more terrifying.]] How? Because it means he had a good reason behind his FantasticRacism. ''The CompleteMonster [[WellIntentionedExtremist ha]][[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope d]]'' '''JUSTIFICATION.'''

*** He was also designed and programmed by Dr. Wily, a scientist who probably ''wouldn't'' have programmed any of his creations to be three-law compliant. For all his genius, Weil ''didn't'' bank on this.

* From the manual: Weil was among the scientists who tried to resolve the Maverick Wars; specifically, he and his colleagues studied Zero's empty body. However, while Ciel's ancestor studied Zero's cognitive program for a cure, Dr. Weil viewed Zero's body as the ideal weapon to end the wars and used it develop Omega, while Ciel's ancestor created the Mother Elf, which would be used by the original X to purge the Sigma Virus for good. Dr. Weil then proposed Project Elpizo, a plan to combine the Mother Elf with Omega to exert control over all Reploids. This put Dr. Weil at odds with X's ideals of coexistence between humans and Reploids. Undeterred, Dr. Weil placed a "curse" on the Mother Elf that turned her into the Dark Elf, and created clones named Baby Elves to control Reploids and make them fight eachother in a massive battle royale. The panic and destruction caused the people to favor Project Elpizo, but X and Zero (whose program was put in a new body) recaptured the Dark Elf, forcing Dr. Weil to unleash Omega in the battlefield. Omega would move on to slay a large number of humans and Reploids before being finally defeated by X and Zero. Omega was sent away to Earth's orbit in the Forbidden Ark, while a group of humans converted Dr. Weil into a cyborg and cursed him to wander the wastelands of Earth as punishment for his crimes. \\

* Weil's "warning shot" with the Ragnarok was the only reason Zero & co. were able to defeat him. If Weil had just kept his mouth shut and improved his aim (which he had plenty of time for since he was presumed dead from the destruction of Neo Arcadia), he could have used that shot to annihilate Area Zero ''or'' the Resistance base where Zero and Ciel were at the time. That's right, if it weren't for the VillainBall, [[DownerEnding Weil would have won, right then, right there, with nothing you could do about it.]]
